I use deceit to create immortality

Chapter 2 I'm not a man anymore!
Looking at the two options floating in front of him, Jiang Ning was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Do you have to make your own choice?

By making corresponding choices, can you unlock different upgrade routes?

He looked at the two options intently, combined with the background information of "Eternal Life", and made an analysis:
"In the original plot, the role played by the player is originally a genius. If you choose the source path profession, although you can obtain full comprehension, the essence is only the learning ability and understanding speed. It is equivalent to returning to the protagonist played by a normal game player. Mode, wherever you can light up your skills, just click on them.”

"The orthodox Taoist sect is divided into five major sources, namely the Tao of Immortality, the Way of the Martial God, the Ukishi Tao, the Confucianism and the Divine Machinery Bailian. Although it is the official source of the Daqian Dynasty, it is similar to the Kao Gong in the previous life. Once you enter, you will be a human being. Master. However, the hierarchical system is strict, and the early development may be relatively simple. Once the resource competition for promotion is involved in the later stage, the threshold will become higher and higher, and the situation will become more and more difficult..."

"What's more, even the orthodox Taoist sects in the official website plot can't avoid the end of destruction. Who knows if there are some high-level officials inside who have been quietly infiltrated by the trickery?"

"Furthermore, according to some screenshots of the plot, the further you practice in some paths, you still cannot avoid going too far. You will either fall into evil ways, or go completely crazy, and ultimately choose not to be a human being..."

"In that case, the so-called full level understanding seems to be a good cheat plug-in, but it is probably a trap!"

With the rich experience of reading online novels in Datian Dynasty, combined with the plot settings disclosed on the official website, Jiang Ning quickly adjusted his brain circuit when encountering such a bizarre incident. He narrowed his eyes and gradually saw the clues.

What's more, even if he unlocks the "full level of understanding", it doesn't matter whether the orthodox Taoist sect is willing to accept him or not...

In this barren mountain and wilderness, it is not clear where the people are. Where can I find the orthodox Five Sources?

He has full level understanding, but he doesn’t even have the classics or a teacher. It’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without straw!

There is only the second option left -

Follow the path of immortality and stop being a human being!
"If you choose the second path, you won't become a ghost directly, right?"

Jiang Ning looked at these two deceptive options and couldn't help but feel a little sore.

It seems like one option is more pitfall than another!
However, Jiang Ning noticed that there was the affix "acting" in front of "not being a human being".

Since it's "acting", he shouldn't die, right?
Unlock the route of "Deceitful Immortality"...

You know, the original name of this game world was "Deceitful Immortality".

Got a point?
Jiang Ning stared at the two options, rubbed his chin, and fell into deep thought.

If you want to be on the safe side, choosing the Five Origins and starting with a talent with full comprehension is undoubtedly the most stable, beneficial and harmless.

For now, I have just crawled out of the grave and landed in a mysterious world full of dangers. I don't even know where anyone is...

Moreover, the tombstone next to it is blank and has no words. The original owner of this body probably had no relatives or friends to rely on for survival...

If you want to survive in such a world and rely on your own abilities, it is no different from starting in hell.

It's just that "full level understanding" may not be that useful.

The so-called "enlightenment" also needs to meet certain opportunities before you have the opportunity to become enlightened and break through the bottleneck in a single thought.

But with my current situation, I'm afraid I won't even be able to wait for this opportunity, and I will be killed.

Only the second option remains...

"When people are killed, they die."

"There is a famous saying in anime: The reason why you are not strong enough is because you are a human, not a ghost."

"Since you can't beat it, then choose to join."

The sparks of the mental struggle gradually dissipated. Jiang Ning took a deep breath and made a choice in his heart——

[Unlock the "Deceitful Immortality" route, act like a non-human being, and start an alternative path to immortality! 】

The thoughts moved slightly, and the space of the sea of ​​​​consciousness suddenly became violently turbulent.

With a golden light shining...

A brand new panel is suspended in front of the sea of ​​consciousness space——

【Jiangning】

[Physical body (first level) → Yin body (second level): 1/1000]

(Hint: Have you noticed that your body is getting weirder and weirder?)
[Human food (first level): 0/1000]

[Dream (Level 0): 1000/[-]]

[To be unlocked...]

"Is this just a progress bar for pretending to be a non-human being?"

Jiang Ning looked at the three options above with a thoughtful expression.

I have browsed so many online novels, but this seems to be the first time I have seen such an abstract panel...

The other protagonists all practice various magical skills, and no matter how bad they are, they will reach the full level of proficiency and become stronger and stronger.

This weird panel of mine only has "flesh", "yin body", "human food", and an unknown "dream"?
I don’t know what changes it will bring...

Jiang Ning's eyes moved slightly downward and noticed a warm reminder under the progress bar from [Physical Body] to [Yin Body].

"From the physical body to the vaginal body...the body is getting weirder and weirder...it seems like you are really no longer a human being?"

"That is to say..."

"You need to correspond to the three realms of [flesh], [human food], and [dream]. You need to treat your body like an object and act less and less like a human being, so that you no longer be a human being at all... No, to be precise. Say, it should be evolving in the direction of natural selection?"

Currently, only [Flesh] has a little progress and shows the affix that has been upgraded to the second level.

There is currently no clue about the affixes behind [Human Food] and [Dream], as well as the corresponding role-playing information.

But judging from the growth path from the first-level [flesh body] to the second-level [yin body], it is definitely evolving in an inhuman direction.

The problem is coming!

How should one play the yin body?

Could it be that he was going to lie down where he was?The heavy rain washed the entire world. In the darkness, the hazy rain obscured the vision, making it difficult to see the surrounding scenery.

Only when the lightning flashes and the sky suddenly becomes as bright as day can the outline of the nearby mountains be clearly seen.

Hundreds of miles of wilderness, not even a human smoke, it's hard to say whether you can get out.

The vision is dark and the road is difficult to navigate.

There was nothing he could do anyway... Jiang Ning simply lay down on the ground, closed his eyes, and started trying to act like a corpse.

When a person calms down, his soul returns to his true nature and his consciousness is concentrated on himself. It is easy for him to have more subtle feelings about the things around him, and thus to notice various changes that have quietly occurred within himself.

Jiang Ning frowned slightly, thinking that as a modern person, he went from a pampered environment to a wasteland full of soil, mud, and heavy rain, but he didn't feel too uncomfortable.

Although the body does still retain the feeling of the human body, the perception of "discomfort" seems to be much slower.

For a normal creature, this is a bit too abnormal!
Jiang Ning couldn't help but think of that warm reminder...

at this time.

In the dark space of consciousness, words suddenly lit up with gilded light——

[You are playing the role of a corpse...]

[Yin body +1! 】

[Yin body +1! 】

【…】

"It actually works!"

Jiang Ning couldn't help but feel dumbfounded.

Lying dead in place can increase the progress of the role...

Wait, if you become a conscious, moving corpse, wouldn't you be immortal to a certain extent?

At the beginning, did you avoid the detour that the orthodox sect takes from level zero to level one?

Fortunately, I chose the route of not being a human being!

really……

Being a human being is much harder than not being a human being!
Jiang Ning worked hard and immediately devoted himself to this research work, concentrating on how to lay the corpse in the correct posture.

The body should be stiff and motionless...

Thinking of this, Jiang Ning straightened his hands and legs and let the heavy rain wash over his body, just like a cold corpse.

At first, he always felt that this part of his body was itchy and that part of his body was uncomfortable. He had to adjust his posture to avoid excessive stiffness in his cervical spine and waist.

Rainwater invades the nasal cavity, causing difficulty in breathing, and may also cause messy granular secretions in the nasal passages to slide into the pharyngeal wall and choke the throat...

But after gradually adapting, my body seems to be getting colder and colder, and my awareness of the outside world is getting lower and lower...

He can remain still for long periods of time.

Letting the cold rain hit your face will not affect your normal breathing, but you will enjoy it.

[Yin body +2! 】

[Yin body +2! 】

【…】

"Sure enough, if you play the corpse with a more correct posture, the progress bar will increase faster."

Jiang Ning looked at the rising numbers on the panel and unknowingly reached fifteen, and his heart was suddenly filled with motivation.

Be sure to play the corpse well!
During this process, he felt that his body was undergoing subtle changes.

Although the body temperature is getting colder and colder, the ability to control the body's balance has been strengthened like never before.

At the same time, the body's metabolic rate seems to be infinitely reduced and slowed down, but the consciousness can still keep thinking, and the brain operates faster.

Jiang Ning feels like a smart stone now...

The body is stiff and the mind is flexible.

The performance progress bar reached thirty, and Jiang Ning felt that he had adapted to this stage.

He began to think about how to gain role value at a faster speed.

"Sure enough... lying on a corpse is also a technical job!"

Feeling the unique feeling brought by lying corpse, Jiang Ning became more and more intoxicated, enjoying the process of turning himself into a work of art.He lay on the spot, his neck fixed on his head, his eyes widened, and the eyeballs in his eye sockets rotated rapidly several times, scanning the surrounding environment.

At this moment, Jiang Ning's eyes fell on the manhole he had just dug out, his mind moved, and he slowly stood up.

"The body should rest in the earth."

"I should probably go get some good sleep."

"Maybe you can also unlock the dream performance..."

Returning from the lying corpse state to the normal standing mode of a bipedal upright ape, Jiang Ning felt that he quickly adjusted. He did not feel that his knees were stiff, unable to bend, or had any difficulty in joint movement... This seemed to be due to The body structure has undergone incredible changes...

He slowly walked to the pit, suddenly dove in, buried himself deeply in the soil again, and returned to the place where the dream began.
