I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early

```

This time, it was really a race against time!

The speedboat streaked away, with the Undying Giant Turtle exerting all its might to follow behind.

Finally, in the evening, the speedboat arrived near the Sky Pit.

The Tree of Life, full of spirit, stood tall by the shore.

"Quick, throw me next to that tree."

The giant turtle didn't understand what he was planning to do, but luckily it had a strong body, and with a bite, it flung Lu Yuan ashore.

The action was so rough it was almost deadly, tracing a curved parabola through the air.

"Light Screen!!" Lu Yuan roared, a layer of light protecting his landing head, and then, like a balloon, he bounced several times off the ground.

The Undying Giant Turtle realized it had done something wrong and quickly drew in its head like a turtle.

But there wasn't much to do about it, as Lu Yuan made contact with the Tree of Life, a connection formed between them.

The Cannibal Flower opened its mouth, swallowed Lu Yuan in.

He immediately transferred his soul over to the Tree of Life.

"Phew... it's effective after all!"

That feeling of body swelling and drowsiness gradually disappeared. Indeed, the Racial Value and Individual Value of the Tree of Life were much higher than Lu Yuan's. Nine abilities were Lu Yuan's limit, but not the limit of the Tree of Life.

The slowly solidifying soul once again returned to its original growth stage.

In fact, taking over is a Demon's exclusive ability; normal life forms that switch bodies through "take over" might experience soul contamination or mismatch between soul and flesh and other complex issues.

But Lu Yuan was different. The Tree of Life was originally a Soul Companion, completely compatible with his soul.

The Tree of Life rustled excitedly.

Lu Yuan, in the mouth of the Cannibal Flower and without a soul, looked like a lifeless corpse with a pale complexion.

Voices emerged from the human body's throat: "Finally caught up. This situation is really troublesome."

The next second, Lu Yuan's soul moved back into the human flesh.

The status of "Soul Full" appeared once again and started to solidify.

Lu Yuan felt bitter in his heart.

The Racial Value of Humans was just too weak; nine abilities were the limit.

What was he supposed to do now? Was he supposed to move around like a tree from now on?

He began to transfer his soul back and forth, looking for a way...

The Undying Giant Turtle, seeing the Cannibal Flower swallowing and spitting out Lu Yuan repeatedly, was immediately enraged and wanted to bite: "You dare eat my brother?!"

But then it was stopped by Old Cat: "You can't even recognize him after he changes form, that tree is Lu Yuan."

It sarcastically said, "Ahh, fair-weather friends, can't withstand a bit of hardship. When disaster strikes, they all scatter."

It was the turtle's first time experiencing Old Cat's sharp tongue, and it felt embarrassed: "Mr. Turtle was just caring about a brother, what's it to you?"

And it actually did move forward to lick the Cannibal Flower.

Old Cat spat venomously: "That's disgusting, you actually wanted to... you know what, I got a photo for memories!"

The turtle was shocked and angry.

This darn cat was just too shameless.

But with its slow-witted brain, it couldn't think of a strong rebuttal.

So it rushed over, caught the cat, and made Old Cat kiss the big tree too.

The turtle echoed the cat's earlier comment: "Disgusting, you actually wanted to... you know what, I got a photo for memories."

Old Cat: ...

You resort to physical force because you're not smart enough, right?

The turtle laughed proudly.

...

While these two clowns fought, Lu Yuan's soul, drawn into the Tree of Life, was getting used to the brand-new body.

He tried to step forward. The thick roots in front slowly moved, and the roots behind began to retract.

The tree made a rustling sound, and seemed to put forth a tremendous effort.

It actually started to move!

At the speed of the tree's root movement, it was about 4 kilometers per hour, with some effort it might reach 6-7 kilometers per hour, which is the speed of a human jogging...

"My brother, the tree is walking!" the Undying Giant Turtle laughed, then immediately got startled, "It's going to fall!"

The tall tree began to topple over, its balance off. Luckily, a Cannibal Flower was there to support like a cane against the ground—the sentient tree did not fall face-first to the ground.

Lu Yuan sighed, deeply feeling the magic of this world.

Why is this getting stranger by the minute?

The original group of a man, a dog, a cat, and a turtle was barely normal.

But now, there was no man, only a tree!

It was like in Journey to the West, the only normal person, the master, was gone.

On second thought, it wasn't that strange. This world wasn't fit for ordinary humans to survive in. So what if I became a tree?

I am tall, and I am proud!

And it's not like I can't change back...

Lu Yuan comforted himself continuously, controlling the Cannibal Flower to spit out half of the human body.

He then manipulated the human head to speak: "The Racial Value of the Tree of Life is much higher than that of humans."

"Moreover, once I combine the Eternal Body with the Extraordinary Spark, I can morph back into human form. Don't worry, I'm fine like this."

"There's a demon..." Old Cat covered its Cat's Eye Stone with a fuzzy paw.

Then, while separating two fingers on one paw, it pointed the other paw at the human head with closed eyes belonging to Lu Yuan, "Look, the demon is speaking."

The once fairly handsome face was now covered in the Tree of Life's resin, the skin greasy and green, giving off a Green Elf vibe.

"Demon, my ass!" Lu Yuan was angry and launched an attack!

The Cannibal Flower spit out more than half of the human body, letting it flail in a primitive form of combat—wildly grasping!

Old Cat deftly dodged: "Look at you, playing with your own body like it's a tongue. Are you even human still?"

"Of course... I'm not human, haha!" Lu Yuan said with pride.

```

So he went on a frenzy of swallowing and spitting for a while.

Suddenly, he saw his own reflection in the river.

He was so shocked that he swallowed and spat out a few more times to confirm that the reflection was indeed himself.

He silently swallowed his human body back and never let it out again.

When in Pangu Continent, one must protect their face, go incognito!

...

Right at that moment, a dark shadow quietly emerged from a cave on the shore; it was none other than...

Old Wolf!

Just thinking about the demonic and wild wolf receiving its ultimate punishment,

Lu Yuan suddenly felt all the gloom in his heart vanish, replaced by an inexplicable sense of happiness.

"Aooooo!" Old Wolf sprinted at high speed, howling from afar, his voice filled with immense sorrow.

The Harem that was always by its side was gone.

All of them had abandoned it!

Its body had been utterly destroyed.

The withered complexion was like that of sickly, decayed wood.

The beautiful fur had lost all its former luster.

Old Wolf felt wronged and howled with all his might, as if he was about to bellow his lungs out.

Do you all know what kind of beastly life I've been living these days?

I've had to hunt every day, giving the finest organs and flesh to my harem, only leaving the large intestines for myself.

And the key point is, I got *** every single day!

Howling, rolling, kicking up a fuss.

It all formed a rather beautiful scene.

According to the law of emotional transfer: when Old Wolf is exhausted from exercising mating rights, all creatures without such privileges will feel joy from the depths of their hearts.

"Is this the dog you're raising?" the Undying Giant Turtle said with a chuckle, "It's obvious that it's a lecherous dog that doesn't know restraint."

The Cannibal Flower spat out Lu Yuan's body.

Lu Yuan said to Old Wolf, "Hey, old buddy, we're heading to the volcano area. Have you sorted out your wives?"

"Aoooo!" Old Wolf grimaced, tucking its tail and continuously voicing its grievances.

It still recognized this big tree.

As for its wives, they had long since run off.

The Cannibal Flower then ate Lu Yuan again.

Spit him out again, ate him again.

Amusing itself back and forth.

Old Wolf's eyes rolled about as it backed away a few steps and started howling, "Aooooo."

...

Cough cough, aside from not being very mobile, the Tree of Life's healing abilities and physical strength are incomparable to that of a human's body.

You get used to it.

Lu Yuan heaved a sigh and slowly walked towards the Sky Pit. (The time ratio inside the Sky Pit is the same, which facilitates communication.)

He first disguised himself, cleaning off the resin from the soulless human body and changing into a set of fresh clothes.

Only then did he take out the Communicator and began to contact human civilization.

At this point, Lu Yuan experienced a subtle change in his mindset.

In the past, he would take special care of Yunhai City, providing it with exclusive precious information.

Such information was a significant political asset that could give one plenty of advantages within human society.

But as time passed, especially after witnessing the more powerful civilization, the Great Lai Empire, Lu Yuan realized that he was no longer interested in such small benefits.

There were too many unsolved mysteries in the world, and too many troubles and difficulties to deal with.

One person, one city, could do so little.

Humans indeed needed to unite.

Even the Rize people showed a higher degree of unity than humans.

With this mindset, he directly dialed the codes of all human cities and sent out communication requests.

[Connecting to human civilization… Please wait…]

One by one, screens came online.

Seeing Lu Yuan calling personally, those foreigners were excited.

"Mr. Lu? Oh my god, how has life been recently?"

"Do you know me... I am Professor Edward from New York City... Hello!"

The foreigners forgot to turn on their translators and rattled off in English, leaving Lu Yuan gaping.

Alright, maybe they are introducing themselves?

But they spoke too fast, and he couldn't understand a thing.

"Mr. Lu, are you using the Communicator from the First Branch of Rize?" asked Professor Zhang Hui from Yunhai City.

He was puzzled why Lu Yuan didn't call Yunhai City alone.

"You seem to look a little pale... Do you want your sister to come over and say a few words?"

Old Lu's face grew even darker; how could his complexion be good without a soul in his body?

Sister... Lu Yuan actually wanted to see beautiful women, not just his sister, but other pretty girls as well.

But the matter at hand was more important.

"My friends, this time I have some important information to share with everyone."

"Please, be quiet!" he said straightforwardly.
