Magic Returns Evolving As A Willow Tree

Chapter 1: Evolution

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Spiritual Energy Continent.

An uninhabited wasteland.

A willow tree grew in a bare valley, a layer of purple mist surrounding it.

In a radius of several dozen li, other than the willow tree, there were also some withered trees and grass.

However, there was one thing that shocked him.

The dead trees were dozens or even hundreds of meters tall.

“Oh lord on high, are you kidding me?”

A voice suddenly rang out within the valley.

The speaker was the willow tree!

Lin Chen!

A transmigrator!

Unlike the transmigrators in other novels,

Looking at the slender branches and leaves draping down from his body, Lin Chen’s heart was filled with an unspeakable sense of complexity.

Even with Lin Chen’s strong mental fortitude, he still found it hard to accept.

Even though he had transmigrated into a willow tree and did not need to eat or drink, he still needed nutrients to survive.

But the surroundings…

Leaves withered, plants withered.

It would not be long before Lin Chen became one of the many dead trees.

Just as Lin Chen grumbled in annoyance, a crisp voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

“Ding! Evolution system activated successfully. Binding host…”

“Ding! Evolution system binding successful.”

Lin Chen was stunned for a few seconds.

Then, a virtual interface appeared before Lin Chen’s eyes.

Race: Mutant Weeping Willow

Lifespan: 0.9 / 1 year (Affected by the undesirable environment, life expectancy decreased.)

Abilities: None

Looking at the attributes panel, Lin Chen did not know what to say.

Based on the information shown on the interface, he only had a little more than a month left to live due to the poison gas spreading around him.

As for growing elsewhere?

Lin Chen also wanted to, but he could not move at all.

Thus, there was only one solution left.

Deal with the poison gas!

However, he was only a tree now. Even if he had the system, what was the use?

If he wanted the poisonous gas to disappear, he would have to find the source first.

However, he could not move, which limited the area he could see.

Lin Chen could not think of any solutions at the moment, so he did not insist. Instead, he turned his attention to the two stats below his lifespan.

Evolution Points and Abilities.

His intuition told him that Evolution Points and Abilities were interrelated. The amount of evolution would affect the strength of the ability.

However, the means to obtain Evolution Points was a problem.

Lin Chen began to ponder the question in his mind.

However, the system did not appear, and no one could answer his questions.

Lin Chen could do nothing about it.

He closed his attributes panel.

Lin Chen began to observe his surroundings.

He wanted to see if he could find any other creatures or poisonous creatures that could cause poisonous gas.

However, reality disappointed him again.

After a day, other than the occasional birds flying in the sky, there were also some noisy flies.

The sun began to set past the western mountains, and night gradually enveloped the land.

A system prompt sounded again, and Lin Chen’s spirits were instantly refreshed.

“Ding! Congratulations to the host for absorbing sunlight for one day and obtaining 1 Evolution Point!”

Lin Chen opened his attributes panel again. He could not help but murmur, “So that’s how it is, absorbing sunlight will give you Evolution Points.”

However, the next question arose.

He did have Evolution Points, but how should he evolve?

“Evolution!” Lin Chen excitedly gave it a try.

As soon as he finished his sentence, a faint light appeared from the thousands of drooping branches. The light enveloped one of his tens of thousands of branches.

In the darkness, the weak light became even more dazzling.

Lin Chen’s attention was fully focused on the branch. At the same time, he could not help but feel excited.

Soon afterward, the radiance scattered, the evolution had been completed.

At the same time, Lin Chen felt a strange connection with the branch.

Right now, the branch was like his arm, able to be controlled freely.

Before he evolved, even though he had tens of thousands of branches, they weren’t under his control, they were merely parts of his body.

However, this branch was completely different now.

With a thought, the evolved branch rose into the air.

In the next second, the tree branch could be posed into all kinds of positions, further confirming Lin Chen’s feelings.

Slap!

A piercing sound rang out.

Lin Chen was extremely excited.

The sound was generated when he whipped the branch like a whip in the air.

This was power beyond his imagination.

If that strike had landed on a person’s body, it would definitely have caused the person’s skin to split open!

“This power… is too strong!”

However, Lin Chen soon calmed down.

He was very satisfied with the evolved branches.

However, the most important thing right now was to extend his lifespan.

Otherwise, no matter how powerful he was, he could only live for a month.

No matter how Lin Chen thought about it, he could not come up with an answer.

“Oh lord on high, you must be joking with me, right? I finally transmigrated, are you going to only give me a month’s lifespan?” Lin Chen stared at the vast starry sky and said unwillingly.

The night passed.

The sun rose as usual, and the faint purple poisonous gas was beautiful under the morning light. Coupled with the layer of mist in the valley, it was even more mesmerizing.

Lin Chen was not in the mood to appreciate the scenery. The first thing he did after waking up was to look around.

Not to mention finding the source of the poisonous gas, at the very least, they had to see if they could find a living person.

He could now speak and communicate normally. Even though a talking willow tree might scare people, this was the only method he could use.

That was why he woke up early in the morning. He did not want to miss any chance.

In the blink of an eye, it was noon.

The scorching sun hung high in the sky, its scorching rays scorching the earth.

Undoubtedly, Lin Chen still could not see anyone.

This attracted quite a few annoying flies. They kept buzzing around him, making him unable to relax.

He was already irritated when he did not see anyone. With the flies attacking him, he could not hold back his anger anymore.

Slap!

In the next second, Lin Chen swung the branch to lash at the annoying flies.

The sound of air being torn apart rang out. A few flies were frightened and immediately scattered. However, there was still one fly that did not escape the calamity and was directly blown apart by the branches.

At the same time, the system notification sounded in Lin Chen’s ears again.

Ding! Congratulations on killing an annoying fly. You have received 1 Evolution Point.

Lin Chen was delighted. He hurriedly opened his attributes panel. His Evolution Points had really increased by 1.

Lin Chen was filled with confidence.

Even though he might only have a month’s lifespan, Lin Chen wasn’t willing to leave in a mediocre manner.

It wasn’t just to become stronger, it was also to make Lin Chen feel no regrets!
