In the vast mountains, under the shade of a lush tree.
A large, roughly two-meter-long Reticulated Python hung its head, looking at its thick python body with a melancholic expression.
“I actually turned into a python!”
This large Reticulated Python was none other than Xiao Teng. He remembered that he was just doing a good deed on the road when suddenly a dump truck hit him, sending him flying. When he opened his eyes again, he had become like this.
“It seems I must have died and then Rebirth into this python.”
Actually, Xiao Teng wasn't resistant to becoming a beast, as there wasn't much joy in his previous life as a human.
Most resources were monopolized by powerful families, making it as difficult as ascending to heaven for ordinary people to rise up.
Every day was just numbly moving bricks and working.
Perhaps becoming a simple beast would be happier.
“Since it's Rebirth, then there should be a matching Golden Finger, right!”
Xiao Teng tentatively called out.
“System?”
“Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have successfully bound the Endless Devour System!”
“Ding! Detecting that the Host's current world will undergo Inspiration Recovery in seven days, a custom-made plug-in is being generated for the Host…”
“Ding! The Host's innate talent has been changed to: Endless Devour (SSS-rank)! Please check, Host!”
“Endless Devour (SSS-rank): Each time you devour a corpse, there is a chance to acquire one of its talents.”
“Ding! Friendly reminder! The world's pattern will change after Inspiration Recovery. Please seize the opportunity, Host, and begin Cultivating in advance!”
Hearing that familiar mechanical voice, Xiao Teng was incredibly excited.
“Haha! There really is a System! I'm taking off!”
After a while, Xiao Teng suppressed his excitement.
Because he realized that the System seemed to have said something extraordinary just now.
“Wait? Inspiration Recovery in seven days?”
“Is it the Inspiration Recovery I'm thinking of?”
The System did not respond.
However, since the System said it, it must be true.
Originally, he thought he could only be an ordinary snake in the future.
But according to the System, he seemed to be able to start Cultivating before Inspiration Recovery.
Xiao Teng's eyes deepened.
“Although I don't know what will happen when Inspiration Recovery truly arrives, no matter what, I must prepare well these seven days.”
Starting to Cultivate seven days earlier than other creatures.
Even when Inspiration Recovery truly descends, Xiao Teng could foresee that he would definitely have a huge advantage.
As for now, let's develop first!
Listening to the chirping sounds from the sky, Xiao Teng flicked his tail, turned, and spiraled up the large tree behind him.
Arriving at a tree fork, there was a nest of newly hatched young birds in front of him.
“Looks delicious!”
“They're actually Golden Eagle chicks, which means there's at least one adult Golden Eagle living nearby.”
“However, it doesn't seem to be here right now, haha! I'll devour them all!”
There were no large birds in the nest, and Xiao Teng quickly noticed the information above each chick's head.
“Golden Eagle Chick (Mortal Realm 1st Tier), Talent to be Awakened: Glutton (D-rank)”
“Golden Eagle Chick (Mortal Realm 1st Tier), Talent to be Awakened: Keen Sight (F-rank)”
“Golden Eagle Chick (Mortal Realm 1st Tier), Talent to be Awakened: Adamantine Claws (D-rank)”
“System notification: Talents to be Awakened are the innate talents that other creatures will Awaken in the future! Inspiration Recovery has not yet begun, and except for the Host, the talents to be Awakened of other creatures are not usable!”
At this moment, another System notification appeared.
Xiao Teng nodded.
Unawakened innate talents being unusable was very reasonable.
Currently, only he could Cultivate.
Xiao Teng remembered that his innate talent was that he could acquire the opponent's talent through devouring.
These chicks all had D-rank and F-rank talents, far inferior to his SSS-rank talent.
“This is a nest of useless creatures!”
“Even a small mosquito is still meat!”
A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Xiao Teng's eyes as he swallowed these chicks one by one into his belly.
Golden Eagles were one of the snakes' natural enemies, and by doing this, he was also eliminating a potential future strong enemy.
“Ding! Killed Golden Eagle chick, Evolution Point +10!”
“Ding! Endless Devour is activating…”
“Ding! Congratulations on devouring D-rank talent Glutton!”
……
After eating three chicks, Xiao Teng gained a total of thirty Evolution Points and also devoured a talent.
“Glutton (D-rank): Your digestion speed increases by +200%, your stomach capacity increases by 200%, and your digestive ability increases by 200%.”
“This talent is alright, it allows me to eat more.”
The gains, besides the talent, also included Evolution Points.
“I can get Evolution Points by killing creatures?”
At this point, Xiao Teng was also very curious about what Evolution Points could do.
A thought popped into his mind.
“Panel!”
With a call, a light blue screen appeared in front of Xiao Teng.
“Indeed!”
Only he could see this screen.
“Species: Reticulated Python”
“Realm: Mortal Realm First Tier (0 / 10 Evolution Points to upgrade)”
“Status: 2 meters long, maximum strength 100 jin, speed 10 kilometers per hour”
“Innate Talent: Endless Devour (SSS-rank)”
“Other Talents: Glutton (D-rank)”
“Evolution Points: 30”
Looking at the Realm column, Xiao Teng said with a determined expression.
“System, invest all Evolution Points to advance!”
“Congratulations, Host, you have ascended to Mortal Realm Second Tier. The next stage is Mortal Realm Third Tier, requiring 20 Evolution Points!”
“Congratulations, Host, you have ascended to Mortal Realm Third Tier. The next stage is Mortal Realm Fourth Tier, requiring 30 Evolution Points!”
With a single command, Xiao Teng's Realm advanced by two tiers.
And at the same time, Xiao Teng's body also rapidly expanded.
It instantly grew to 4 meters long, and his strength and speed also increased significantly.
“Awesome!”
Just by swallowing a nest of chicks, his body doubled in size.
Becoming a Beast Emperor is just around the corner!
“The Evolution Points needed for advancement are increasing, it will be thirty points next time.”
“I'm already four meters, I can try to hunt larger prey now.”
Xiao Teng turned his head to look at the sky above, and after confirming there was no Golden Eagle in sight, he calmly slid down the tree branch.
After sliding down the tree, Xiao Teng prepared to leave this dangerous area with Golden Eagles.
To a safer place to develop.
As soon as he turned around, Xiao Teng met eyes with a two-meter-long Reticulated Python in front of him.
They stared at each other.
Xiao Teng paused, and the few pitiful memories of this body surfaced.
This fellow in front of him seemed to be his biological brother who hatched from the same egg as him.
And a striking line of text was displayed above his biological brother's head.
“Reticulated Python Mortal Realm First Tier, Talent to be Awakened: Indestructible Body (S-rank)”
Holy cow! S-rank!
Brother, you smell so good!
“To supplement the Realms: Mortal Realm (Ordinary Human) → Transcendent (Initially Awaken extraordinary power, can withstand multiple bullets without dying) → Extraordinary (Bullets completely harmless, can withstand rocket launchers without dying) → Supernatural (Watershed, formally Awaken extraordinary power, rocket launchers completely harmless, can withstand missiles without dying) → Awakening (Bloodline is stimulated, most thermal weapons are ineffective, can withstand nuclear bombs without dying). Subsequent Realms will be added when thought of. Each Realm has ten tiers.”
