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

Chapter 309 The Fourth True God

For example, in the divination of alchemy, there are many elixirs that can increase lifespan.

Of course, it's impossible to do it at this stage.

But he can definitely manage to do it before he dies.

I don't even need to wait until I die; I'll probably be around that time in another year or two.

"What is this thing made of?" Wu Xian asked curiously.

Miao Youyou spread her hands in confusion.

Not to mention her, even her master at the top might not know.

This is a core resource for the ruling class.

"Thanks, there might really be an opportunity to cooperate in the future." Wu Xian jokingly put away the [Life Source].

Miao Youyou smiled with narrowed eyes and reached out her hand, saying, "Little brother is indeed a smart person."

Wu Xian shook hands briefly with the other person, then changed the subject, saying, "Speaking of which, what is Miss Miao's black cat, Huijuan, called?"

"I resent the cat demon."

"I feel like we could incorporate some of our necromancy-based ideas, or perhaps take inspiration from the Zhao family's lineage at the Necromancer's Guild." Wu Xian smirked, then turned and left.

It's about reciprocity, after all, we're respectable people.

Watching Wu Xian leave, Miao Youyou pondered, "Would it be better to combine this with necromancy-based thinking?"

……

Back at his villa in the North District, Wu Xian couldn't help but begin researching the [Source of Fate].

It's a very peculiar substance, quite different from the components of common spiritual substances.

Then he studied it with Master Xue.

"It is somewhat similar to your composite divine power factor, but not entirely." Master Xue clicked his tongue in amazement and said, "The creations of the upper levels are indeed extraordinary."

"Even you can't understand it?" Wu Xian asked in surprise.

“I’m not a god,” Master Xue shook his head and smiled. “But in my opinion, there aren’t many artificial traces. It’s more like a naturally formed extraordinary substance that has undergone some simple processing.”

Upon hearing this, Wu Xian stopped dwelling on the matter.

There's still a long way to go before things get serious at the higher levels, so there's no need to rush.

The most urgent task at present is to resolve the supply of raw materials for pharmaceutical refining as soon as possible.

I recalled various exotic flowers and plants from the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

In my past life, I worked as a subcontractor for a trashy game based on the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and I learned a lot about the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

Although the game is mainly based on mythical creatures from mountains and seas, some exotic plants and animals are always involved when creating game maps.

"Perhaps it doesn't need to be anthropomorphized; simply keeping the plant form is fine too."

Wu Xian secretly organized his thoughts.

Compared to anthropomorphism or animalization, Zhou Qi's ferocious mindset is more lethal and combative.

After all, he created the plant-themed scrolls to enhance the club members' combat power and provide them with more options, not to deal with other plant-themed scrolls or plant-themed alternate worlds.

If you really want to deal with plant-based scrolls and otherworldly realms, fire is the best option.

Therefore, the core idea is to improve the overall combat power of these ferocious plants, rather than to exist in order to deal with other plant types.

After some thought, I decided to first go to the Insect Realm to discuss and learn about Zhou Qi's ideas on ferocious creatures, and also visit the Plant-based Otherworld to talk about the specifics of the Plant-based Otherworld.

As Kunyouniang mentioned before, there are infiltration zones from the plant world in the insect realm.

……

The next day, at the Underworld Club.

Intending to head directly to the Insect Outpost, they were instead drawn to the battle within the League Device.

"A player from the Nature Club?" Wu Xian asked curiously as he stepped closer.

The player currently competing is a newly crowned gold medalist using the Golden Scroll [Ghost King]. Against the Nature Club player's plant-based scroll, the effect is clearly not very good. "Hmm," Xue Qingyang, watching from the sidelines, said gravely, "This league is getting harder and harder lately. Many club scrolls are like they've been injected with adrenaline, suddenly becoming terrifying."

Furthermore, the atmosphere in the league has been very tense lately, with reports of numerous players engaging in offline brawls.

Wu Xian nodded thoughtfully, sensing that the atmosphere in the recent league was indeed a bit off.

Shortly after, the Golden Roll Demon King contestant was defeated.

On one hand, the opponent's skill level is relatively high; on the other hand, the Undead Scroll does not have much advantage against the Plant type.

After chatting with the club members about some recent news, I also picked up a Plant Dimension collection quest in the raid quest system to earn some club points.

Just as they were about to head to the Zerg outpost, they were startled by a sudden surge of overwhelming power.

"What's going on?" Wu Xian exclaimed, looking towards the outside of the club.

But Xue Qingyang and the others nearby were startled. "Wow, this power, this feeling, could it be that another true god has been born?"

The club was thrown into chaos in an instant, and the entire city of Yaoyang and the entire world of the Scroll were also plunged into a state of restlessness at the same time.

Master Sister also rushed out from the palace, and was secretly amazed as she watched the strange celestial phenomena gradually gathering in the sky.

"Which powerful demon from another world is it this time?"

"I don't know," Xue Qingyang said with a wry smile. "We can only wait for them to give their declaration of godhood."

Outside the club, countless people looked up at the strange phenomenon in the sky, their hearts filled with mixed emotions.

I thought the "Three Gods Version" was chaotic enough, but I didn't expect there to be more experts to follow.

The strange phenomena in the sky gradually coalesced, and the sky was filled with rosy clouds.

Soon after, a majestic voice that shook heaven and earth resounded throughout the world.

"I, the Azure Tree King, have today attained enlightenment in the Celestial Realm, achieving the status of a true spirit of plants and trees in this new era. I now control the lineage of plants and trees, and establish my path in the green desert."

All plants and trees under heaven should flourish, and precious herbs and trees should thrive.

All living things, from plants to trees, can benefit from my Dharma lineage, ensuring its continuous existence.

The familiar declaration of enlightenment echoed in everyone's ears.

"A true god of plants?" Xue Lingling was stunned.

The next second, Xue Qingyang exclaimed in surprise, "Holy crap, everyone look!"

On the muddy ground outside the club square, a series of strange weeds began to grow.

It should be understood that the vegetation in modern cities is a product of scroll painting; plants cannot grow on the land today.

But at this very moment, with the attainment of enlightenment by the [Azure Tree King], plants actually began to grow.

Shocked, everyone ascended into the air to survey the city from all angles.

The bare earth was covered with a layer of emerald green, adding a touch of vitality to the entire city.

The entire human world was instantly thrown into an uproar.

Wu Xian instinctively rushed to the nearest land temple farm to check on the situation.

As he expected, all sorts of strange weeds did indeed grow in the farmland, and they were significantly more abundant than the weeds in other places.

As weeds grow, they compete with crops for nutrients, further increasing the burden on the land temple.

If the influence of the three true gods on the human world was subtle and gradual before, then the influence of this true god of plants and trees is now quite direct.

Wu Xian plucked a weed from the field and examined it closely, finding it to have no medicinal or artistic value.

It's just a simple arrangement and combination of spiritual substances like grass and wood, just like the weeds on the street in the normal world of my previous life.

Its only value is that it provides a vast amount of basic materials for botanical illustrations.

After all, these two spiritual substances are too common and too worthless. If the spiritual structure and combination were excellent, that would be fine, but the key is that they are the most basic and common spiritual structures.

Simply put, it's a thing that can be found everywhere in various other dimensions.
