Mythical Scroll Artist: Starting with the God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming

Chapter 271 City God’s Temple

Sure enough, after the video call connected, you could still see the tattooed guy and Xu Lu.

"How about it, my disciple? What do you think of this human body painting art by Tattoo Bro?" Wu Xian joked.

"It's truly a masterpiece," Xu Cunxin exclaimed, unable to hide her amazement. "When I first saw it yesterday, I almost thought it was someone from the upper class coming down from the mountain."

"The upper class?" Wu Xian asked in surprise.

Xu Cunxin explained, "This situation of integrating the power of the scroll into oneself is quite similar to the cultivation methods of the upper levels, but now that I understand it, it is obviously quite different from the upper levels."

"Oh, oh," Wu Xian smiled knowingly, "I have a question I'd like to ask you."

Upon hearing this, Xu Cunxin was filled with trepidation and said, "It is my honor to be able to answer your questions."

“That’s how it is,” Wu Xian pondered, organizing his thoughts, “There’s something I’ve never been able to understand: all the other worlds can be integrated and shaped by the Domain Scroll, so why can’t our human dimension be?”

"Are you referring to the scroll depicting a realm developed based on the laws of the human world?" Xu Cunxin asked hesitantly.

"Yes."

"I'm afraid that won't work," Xu Cunxin thought to himself.

"Why?"

“It’s most likely related to the upper world,” Xu Cunxin sighed. “The upper world controls the last pure land in the human world, and it seems to have imposed a certain degree of blockade and restriction on the laws of heaven and earth in the human world.”

"I see," Wu Xian said, suddenly realizing.

So it turns out it was blocked and monopolized by the upper echelons through special means?
No wonder they are the only ones who can build so many new cities.

As for Yaoyang City and other early cities, which were established before the "monopoly" was established, they were naturally not valued by the upper echelons of society.

But from another perspective, aren't these first-generation cities like Yaoyang City essentially equipped with their own "licenses and permits"?

Therefore, starting with [Yaoyang City] is undoubtedly a good way to bypass the restrictions of the upper-level monopoly.

After ending the call with Xu Cunxin, he immediately immersed himself in drawing the City God Temple.

In short, let's fill Yaoyang City with local temples and city god temples first.

After a day and a night of hard work.

Finally, at noon the following day, the drawing of the City God Temple was completed.

Unlike the Land God Temple's imprint on the sea of ​​consciousness, the City God Temple, while also forming points of incense and faith on the periphery of the sea of ​​consciousness, simultaneously condenses the City God's scroll imprint within the Six Officials system of the [Underworld God Map].

Thus, after the Ten Underworld Marshals, only the two officials from the Reincarnation Division remain among the Six Superior Officials.

The beautiful girl version of Meng Po has now received the generous sponsorship of the pure-hearted Xiao Yu.

There's no rush for now; we'll wait for Xiao Yu's father to arrive.

……

Holding the scroll of the City God Temple in his hand, he went out to find a suitable place to settle down in the city.

Unlike land temples, which function as farms, land temples are suitable for placement in uninhabited wastelands in the suburbs.

However, the City God Temple is more suitable for being located in a bustling urban area.

After contacting Mayor Chen Shih-lung, I asked him to find and plan some locations and land in advance for the future relocation of the City God Temple.

After much deliberation, Wu Xian decided to place his original City God Temple on land near the club.

This land originally belonged to the Underworld Club, so there was no need to inform anyone.

Buzz~!

The exquisite model of the City God Temple rose into the air, rapidly enlarged, and gradually blended into the atmosphere of Yaoyang City's "Scroll of Heaven and Earth".

The impressive display of power inevitably attracted some club members to come out and watch.

The City God Temple slowly descended to the ground, and at first glance it looked like an ancient county government office. There were two stone lions at the entrance, and inside was a statue of a ghost official dressed in the robes of the underworld.

"I don't feel any particular changes?"

Wu Xian curiously explored the surroundings, but found no purifying effect on the land like that of the local earth temple.

However, a peculiar energy field could be clearly felt forming around the City God Temple, though its purpose was unknown. Above the City God Temple, the phantom image of the City God slowly coalesced, bowing to Wu Xian from afar.

The club members who came to watch the spectacle were amazed. Although they couldn't understand it, they knew that anything done by the vice president must be extraordinary.

“It feels so strange,” Du Yifan said curiously, “It’s like a temple from our Underworld series.”

“That’s right,” Wu Xian nodded and smiled, “From now on, burn incense and offer prayers whenever you have free time, and I’ll ensure you live to be a hundred years old.”

"Really? Then I'll have to pay my respects properly." Du Yifan was in high spirits and was about to enter the temple to worship.

As soon as Du Yifan approached the City God Temple, he was enveloped by its imposing aura, which formed a peculiar mark that merged into his soul.

Everyone present was speechless at the sight.

"What happened?" Wu Xian asked hurriedly, "What just happened?"

"It's like we've made some kind of soul contract," Du Yifan carefully experienced the imprint in his sea of ​​consciousness, "allowing me to manage some underworld affairs in the surrounding urban area."

Wu Xian was slightly taken aback, not expecting the scroll painting at the City God Temple to have such an operation.

It seems to be a kind of underworld function and authority directly granted to Du Yifan himself.

In other words, Du Yifan was directly given a position within the underworld system.

"What the hell? Where did all these strange creatures come from?" Du Yifan's gaze shifted, as if he had seen something. "Wait, those don't seem to be strange creatures? They seem to be the souls of our human dead."

The onlookers were completely confused. "What ghosts? Where are they? We can't see them."

"Th-th-th-th-so many, can't you see them?" Du Yifan asked in confusion.

The group looked at each other, shaking their heads in bewilderment.

Wu Xian gradually understood, and patted Du Yifan on the shoulder earnestly, "Keep up the good work, you are now the City God's general in our mortal world."

"Huh?" Du Yifan was both surprised and delighted.

“It’s similar to the work of your defense team, except that we’re specifically responsible for handling matters in the underworld,” Wu Xian said with a smile. “We just need to guide those human souls to our underworld outposts.”

Du Yifan's expression was strange, and he immediately released the Black and White Impermanence to summon and guide the soul.

Surprisingly, the wandering souls of the dead in Yaoyang City actually followed him obediently.

Seeing this, other club members went to worship at the City God Temple, but unfortunately they did not receive that "blessing of power".

However, while these club members were worshipping at the City God Temple, the way their personal God of Wealth was managing their fortunes seemed to have changed.

This discovery surprised and delighted Wu Xian.

"Little Li, try making a wish at the City God Temple to draw a card. You can decide for yourself what you want to draw," Wu Xian reminded him.

The new member, Little Li, looked bewildered, then burned incense and made a wish.

A moment later, I took out my phone to draw cards, and with one 10-pull, I hit the target.

"Wow~ I actually drew the Ghost King Yin General?"

The other members were both surprised and delighted to see this, and they all began to make wishes to the City God. Afterwards, they all drew the scrolls they wanted.

Of course, the wishes made at the City God Temple are only valid for the Underworld series of card pools.

But this situation inadvertently sparked Wu Xian's thinking.

"Tsk~ If only the card-drawing system could be combined with the City God Temple, then we wouldn't have to worry about the City God Temple not having enough worshippers!"

Wu Xian became more and more excited as he thought about it.

In my previous life, such an outrageous operation would naturally be unrealistic.

But this is a world of extraordinary scrolls, where anything is possible.

The wealth-generating power of the God of Wealth can influence the probability of drawing cards in the virtual world, so it is feasible to combine the card-drawing system with the City God Temple.

After all, the virtual network of this world is built on the scroll.

As luck would have it, the virtual network of this world is controlled by the Mech Gym, which is one of the main reasons why the Mech Gym, despite being relatively weak, is still among the top nine gyms.
