Chapter 4 of "Reincarnated as a Divine Tree" opens revealing: The collision of reason and emotion, the interweaving thoughts, made Ji Yang contemplate.The night was... Keep going!

The collision of reason and emotion, the interweaving thoughts, made Ji Yang contemplate.The night was quiet. The moonlight, bright and Ji Yang was thinking. A faint sound of footsteps quickly awakened Ji Yang from his thoughts. Soon, two voices came from outside the ancestral hall. “How is it? Is there anyone?” A young boy’s voice was the first to be heard. “No one’s there. We can go in!” Another voice, dull and monotonous, quickly replied. Are there thieves? Upon hearing the conversation between the two individuals, Ji Yang’s heart tightened slightly, a hint of nervousness creeping in. He felt as helpless as a chicken bound by a rope, unable to move, speak, or defend himself. If he were to encounter thieves, he would be done for.

At this moment, all Ji Yang could do was pray that these two thieves were here to steal from the Chen family’s ancestors, and were not targeting him. After all, it seemed that the only valuable things in this ancestral hall were these two items. Surely, they couldn’t be here to steal the spiritual tablets of the Chen family’s ancestors, could they? They climbed up the wall and landed on the bluestone slabs with a thump after their conversation had ended. As the two people climbed over the wall outside the ancestral hall and entered the hall, Ji Yang also clearly saw the two figures who were sneaking into the hall. These sneaks were two boys, about ten years old, dressed in coarse cloth. One of them looked delicate, with lively eyes. The other had a simple and honest look with a slightly chubby face. Seeing the two boys, Ji Yang’s hanging heart relaxed a lot. He remembered these two boys. During the day, these two were kneeling in the last row, presumably they were the younger generation of the Chen family. But he didn’t know what these two were doing, sneaking into their own ancestral hall in the middle of the night. Were they here to steal the offerings? What business could they possibly have here? Ji Yang, who was secretly peeping, was quite interested, and for a moment, he even forgot about the situation he had just been thinking might occur. In order to confirm their identities, Ji Yang threw an insight at each of them. [Name: Chen Qinghe] [Age: 14] [Realm: Initial Stage of Body Tempering] [Introduction: Member of the Chen family, of the younger generation] [Name: Chen Qingmeng] [Age: 13] [Realm: Initial Stage of Body Tempering] [Introduction: Member of the Chen family, of the younger generation] As expected, the first boy to come in was named Chen Qinghe, and the slightly chubby one was called Chen Qingmeng. Both were members of the Chen family’s younger generation. From the nervous expressions on their faces, it was clear that this was their first time doing something like this. This made Ji Yang even more curious as to what they were up to. After landing steadily, the two did not rush into the ancestral hall but looked around to make sure no one was there, and then they finally breathed a sigh of relief. “Qinghe, should we really do this? What if the clan leader and your father find out?” Chen Qingmeng asked with a worried look on his face. Chen Qinghe, who was a year older, said with a firm gaze, “The family's situation is so bad. They wouldn’t care so much.” “This divine tree should have been destroyed long ago! Over the years, the clan leader has spent so much effort to worship this tree! Think about it, other families don’t have a divine tree, but they are still able to develop! I think the decline of our family is because of this tree. As long as we cut it down, the family will definitely be able to safely survive this crisis! We are not doing bad things, we are saving the family! My father? By the time he realises we did this, he will understand!” Hearing about saving the family, Chen Qingmeng’s eyes became much more resolute, and he nodded vigorously, “That’s right, it’s definitely this tree that’s the problem. Tonight we will eliminate the harm for our family!” After saying that, both of them took out the mountain-opening axes they carried with them and quickly rushed towards Ji Yang, who was isolated in the ancestral hall. Ji Yang was stunned when he heard the two’s conversation. It turns out that the purpose of these two boys sneaking into the ancestral hall in the middle of the night was to chop him down! He had just escaped from Chen Qingyu’s axe, and now he had to face these two with their mountain-opening axes. Looking at the two holding the mountain-opening axes and gradually approaching, Ji Yang was almost in tears. Especially since this time Chen Xingzhen was not there, so there was no one to speak up for him. Soon the two reached Ji Yang. They were looking at Ji Yang’s withered body with determined eyes. “Qinghe, where should we chop first?” “Of course, chop the tree’s roots!” Chen Qinghe said without anger. Seeing the two holding the mountain-opening axes ready to chop at his roots, Ji Yang sighed helplessly in his heart. Alright, no need to think anymore. If he doesn’t bind to this family and transform life force, he probably won’t survive to see tomorrow! Before the two chopped him down, Ji Yang quickly transformed his qi and blood into lifefore! At the moment of Ji Yang’s transformation, the familiar reminder appeared again. This time Ji Yang didn’t hesitate and quickly clicked yes! As soon as Ji Yang started to transform, his original five points of Qi and blood quickly began to drop, and in the blink of an eye, it had already returned to zero. However, what replaced it was Ji Yang’s life force, which began to rise rapidly. From the original 0.5, it surged all the way. 0.6, 0.7…1.5, 1.6. When the life force rose to 2.7, the growth rate slowed down, and finally settled at 3.0. Five points of Qi and blood, transformed into life force, is only 2.5, that is, a ratio of one to two. But Ji Yang didn’t have time to experience these changes, and a crisp chopping sound came to his ears. Looking down, the axes in the hands of the two below had already fallen on Ji Yang’s roots. It’s over. Ji Yang felt a chill in his heart, but then he found himself safe and sound, and where the two mountain-opening axes had chopped, only a layer of bark had fallen off. Without waiting for Ji Yang to think, the next moment, a life-containing energy in his body quickly surged throughout Ji Yang’s withered body. This vitality was like a lamp in the dark night, like an oasis in the desert. As life emerged, Ji Yang’s roots buried deep underground also began to expand rapidly, and soon spread over most of the ancestral hall. The spread of the roots made Ji Yang feel that he could see farther. The changes were far from over. After the roots underground stopped expanding, the originally withered trunk on the ground also changed. The old bark slowly shed, and a new layer of bark grew in its place. In the middle of the trunk, a green bud began to grow rapidly. Below, Chen Qingmeng, who was about to chop down with his axe again, noticed the change of the divine tree. Looking at the withered trunk in front of him, buds sprouted and young branches growing rapidly, Chen Qingmeng was stunned axe in his hand unknowingly fell to the ground. The scene before him exceeded his cognition. “Qingmeng don’t be lazy, keep chopping. This bark is hard!” Chen Qinghe who was about to chop saw that he had dropped the tool in his hand and urged him. “The tree… The tree has sprouted!” Chen Qingmeng pulled Chen Qinghe’s sleeve, pointed at Ji Yang and exclaimed.
