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

Chapter 449 Higher Nature, Evil God Attacks

Although it has only evolved to have 14 points of ferocity, the terrifying ferocity emanating from the Netherworld Centipede is already comparable to the power of a true god at the divine level.

"Fierceness?" Zhou Qi was secretly surprised. "So there are even higher-level attributes beyond spirituality?"

Most people are still unaware of the existence of "spiritual transformation".

Wu Xian pondered to himself.

I used to think that spirituality could only transform into divinity, but now it seems that there are obviously other higher qualities that exist.

Spirituality itself is more like a primordial, chaotic quality.

Or it could be described as a kind of "gestating" power.

Only by nurturing and transforming the spiritual essence of the scroll into a higher quality can the scroll itself undergo its final transformation, thereby merging with the divine position condensed in the divine realm in the future, becoming one, and forging a true god.

Of course, judging from the situation of the evil spirits in the underworld, they do not seem to be "gods" in the conventional sense.

After the divine realm is constructed in the future, what will be condensed will not necessarily be a [divine position], but rather another special kind of law-based position.

wrong!

Wu Xian suddenly realized something.

The malevolent creatures of the underworld are not limited by merit or incense offerings; they can evolve infinitely simply by devouring others. Perhaps they don't even need to construct a divine realm, condense the power of laws, or increase the weight of laws.

The special characteristic of "ferocity" likely already contains some kind of primordial law power.

Most importantly, this ancient and primordial law has no competitors, so there is naturally no need to compete for any law weight.

To put it bluntly, in this field, there is only one series: Zhou Qi and the Ghostly Beast.

Those who hand in blank papers are the ones who always get first place.

"Let's see how it goes?" Zhou Qi asked with great interest.

Wu Xian instantly understood and immediately summoned the Jade Scroll Pleiades Star Lord.

The ferocious Netherworld Centipede immediately became timid and hesitant upon seeing the Pleiades Star Lord, completely losing its ferocity as a "fierce creature".

"Well, it turns out we're still completely countered by Pleiades," Zhou Qi shook his head and complained. "Maybe this is the fate of insect-type monsters?"

But Wu Xian didn't think so.

Next, he took out a copy of the Golden Scroll of the Pleiades Star Lord from his Qiankun Bag.

As he expected, this time the Netherworld Centipede was no longer afraid of the Pleiades Star Lord and fully displayed the fearless and ferocious demeanor of a ferocious creature. It seemed that as long as Zhou Qi had a thought, it would pounce on the Golden Scroll Pleiades Star Lord and devour him.

Whether we can win or not is another matter; let's just charge in and take a bite first.

"Is it because of the Jade Scroll?" Zhou Qi exclaimed in surprise. "It seems we need to upgrade the Netherworld Centipede to the Jade Scroll as soon as possible."

Wu Xian smiled but remained silent.

Because he knew clearly that even if the Netherworld Centipede were to ascend to the Jade Scroll, it would still be suppressed by the Jade Scroll Pleiades Star Lord.

Unless the malevolence value exceeds the divinity value of the Pleiades Star Lord.

It's important to understand that this was under the influence of the Pleiades Star Lord; if it were facing other scrolls, the Netherworld Centipede wouldn't have so many concerns.

And so, even the God of Wealth wanted to give it a try.

It appeared directly beside Wu Xian, using the scroll depicting the God of Wealth.

As he expected, the Nether Centipede, though somewhat wary and apprehensive, was also brimming with ferocity, displaying a state of eager anticipation and readiness to attack at any moment.

It's important to know that the God of Wealth possesses 81 points of divinity, plus the blessing of the true god's will.

This also shows just how outrageous the ancient bloodline power of the "fierce creature" really is.

"It's definitely something," the God of Wealth whispered to Wu Xian, "It feels like if its ferocity continues to grow, it might even dare to devour the Heavenly Dao!"

Wu Xian nodded in agreement.

Currently, it seems that the Netherworld Centipede, apart from not having an advantage against the Pleiades Star Lord, is fearless and ferocious in dealing with any enemy.

The key point is its ancient "fierce" power and the aura it exudes, which allows it to confront any force with a bang.

Completely free from any suppression or restriction at the level of laws.

"It's strange, why is the Pleiades Chicken able to control this ferocious creature?" the God of Wealth wondered to himself. "Logically speaking, such ferocious power should also be able to ignore the suppression at the level of species form, right?"
Could it be that the rooster is hiding some unspeakable secret? Or perhaps some special background or origin?

The God of Wealth fell into deep thought.

There's a saying that goes, "No one can fully understand another person."

In this life, everyone wears layers of masks, and only they know their true face.

The celestial beings in the Heavenly Court were the same; although they were all colleagues, their understanding of each other remained superficial.

Every colleague has some secrets of their own, more or less.

"You mean, the Pleiades Star Lord may have had contact with that ancient, ferocious world? Or perhaps some connection to it?" Wu Xian couldn't help but ask curiously.

“Very likely,” the God of Wealth nodded and joked, “The Heavenly Court is indeed full of talented people!”

To put it bluntly, the Heavenly Court is full of hidden talents, so never underestimate anyone.

"Keep going, keep going!" Zhou Qi said enthusiastically. "I can't wait to unleash the full ferocity of the Netherworld Beast!"

“There’s no need to be in such a hurry,” Wu Xian chuckled. “The power of bloodline becomes increasingly difficult to improve as you progress; there’s no such thing as instant success.”

"Alright," Zhou Qi sighed softly, "Fortunately, we're still young."

"By the way, Brother Zhou, does your Netherworld Beast series not require a [Divine Power Core] to upgrade to a Jade Scroll?" Wu Xian changed the subject.

“Yes,” Zhou Qi pondered, “but this transformation process will be quite long and difficult, and it will require a certain opportunity. However, after the Netherworld Centipede has transformed into its ferocious nature, its subsequent evolution into the Jade Scroll should be faster.”

Upon hearing this, Wu Xian couldn't help but ponder whether he should incorporate the "fierce beast" bloodline into the design and drawing of some of the ancient ferocious beasts in the future.

After all, the characteristic of Netherworld Beasts, which rely on devouring to evolve and improve, still has a significant advantage.

The fact that it doesn't require a [Divine Power Core] is enough to make it worthwhile.

At least until Master Xue develops an artificial divine power core, the Netherworld Beast still has a significant advantage.

Time flew by, and it was already the early hours of the next day.

The two spent the entire night researching and discussing, further improving the power of the bloodline of the Netherworld Beast.

Jingle Bell!
The ringing of a cell phone interrupted their discussion.

"Who is it so early in the morning?" Wu Xian cursed as he pulled out his phone. The name on the caller ID made him pause for a moment, "Ma Tengyun?"

"Young Master Ma?" Zhou Qi couldn't help but cast a curious glance at him.

Recently, Ma Tengyun has been investing and building in Yaoyang City. He's extremely busy every day, and he even has to find time to work in the underworld.

Why are you calling so early in the morning? Could it be that you've encountered some problems in the underworld?
But if something happened at the underworld outpost, it should be Xue Zhengying who notified him.

"Hey, Brother Ma, what happened?" Wu Xian asked as he answered the phone.

“Some strange things happened at a construction site last night, and many workers died,” Ma Tengyun said in a serious and solemn voice. “It seems very likely that it is related to an evil god.” Upon hearing this, Wu Xian also became serious instantly.

After pulling in the shadows for so long, have the evil god scroll painters finally lost their patience?
He immediately asked Ma Tengyun for the address and headed there with Zhou Qi, while also informing the mayor, the military, and the association along the way.

After all, dealing with the evil god scroll maker has always been the responsibility of these three parties.

……

A moment later, at a large construction site in the core area of ​​the southern district of Yaoyang City.

Wu Xian and his companion rushed over and met up with Ma Tengyun.

"What exactly happened?" Wu Xian went straight to the point and asked about the situation.

“Follow me, you two,” Ma Tengyun led the two toward the crime scene. “Last night, several workers who were digging suddenly went silent. When other workers went to check, they also went silent.”

The workers who sensed something was wrong quickly reported it to their supervisors, and then, in the early hours of the morning, they alerted me.

They initially thought it was a normal construction accident, but upon arriving at the scene, they realized that something was amiss.

Fortunately, Brother Wu's Star Scroll was powerful enough, otherwise I, Ma, would have been doomed too.

Wu Xian took a deep breath, looked at the crime scene that had been temporarily sealed off by the scroll barrier, and asked, "What's the situation inside now?"

"It's hard to describe, you'll have to see for yourselves," Ma Tengyun said, seemingly still a little shaken. "Just be careful, there's a very evil and strange force inside."

Wu Xian and the other man nodded solemnly.

Zhou Qi asked in confusion, "That's strange, why are we working overtime so late at night?"

"Is it strange?" Ma Tengyun chuckled lightly. "My Wanrong Chamber of Commerce has always pursued efficiency. As long as the money is right, the workers are full of enthusiasm."

This shopping mall was supposed to be completed next month, but now it looks like that's not going to happen.

Upon hearing this, Wu Xian and Zhou Qi were speechless.

Ma Tengyun seemed somewhat saddened, saying, "The compensation for the families is easy to discuss, but the deaths of those workers were so tragic that they left me with some psychological trauma."

"Is it really necessary?" Zhou Qi asked with a strange expression.

After all, they are people who have seen a lot of things.

The "insect plague" that occurred in the insect world was so terrifying and disgusting that it was a killer for those with trypophobia.

In addition, they had also experienced some of the evil spirits that had plagued Yaoyang City, each one more disgusting and terrifying than the last.

The staff responsible for the scroll barrier also looked pale. After helping the three of them open the barrier, they hurriedly hid in the distance, seemingly terrified of what was inside.

Upon entering the barrier, Ma Tengyun frowned, grimaced, and covered his eyes, unable to bear looking directly at the scene.

Wu Xian and Zhou Qi froze on the spot.

Although he had seen many storms, he was still shocked by the eerie scene before him, leaving his mind blank and his whole body inexplicably uncomfortable.

It seemed as if an invisible force was encroaching upon them.

Wu Xian decisively released his wealth energy to protect the three of them, his eyes fixed on the strange and eerie scene before him.

Dozens of construction workers were intertwined and stuck together like conjoined twins, creating a breathtaking spectacle that struck the very soul.

The deep pit that was originally dug out as a foundation was now completely filled with corpses that were "sticky" together.

Even more outrageous, the surrounding soil and gravel seemed to have been tainted into flesh-like tissue, sticking together with the corpse landscape.

"This...this..." Zhou Qi's face turned pale, and he stammered.

Ma Tengyun, standing to the side, covered his eyes and said, "Isn't it weird and scary?"

Wu Xian took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and began to investigate the root cause of this tragedy.

It's definitely the evil god scroll painter.

Only the power of an evil god could create such a chilling, "non-human" spectacle.

He just couldn't understand why the evil god would attack this construction site.
Could it be that evil gods' servants have infiltrated the construction site among the workers?
While pondering, he released Xiao Dizi to conduct a thorough investigation and listen.

"God of Wealth, what do you think?" The consciousness sank into the sea of ​​consciousness, communicating with the will of the God of Wealth.

"I cannot fully understand some aspects of this world yet, especially these evil forces that seem to be extraterrestrial demons but are not quite like them," the God of Wealth said in a deep voice. "But in any case, such heinous evil forces must be annihilated."

The God of Wealth was clearly angered by the scene before him.

As a righteous god in Heaven, he naturally could not tolerate such evil spirits that violated heaven and reason.

Meanwhile, Xiao Dizi was still diligently investigating the situation.

Meanwhile, personnel from the association and the military arrived at the scene one after another, and were all horrified when they saw the horrific scene.

"Have either of you had any contact with similar evil god powers before?" Wu Xian inquired.

“No,” Xu Lu shook her head solemnly. “In fact, the evil god scroll painters have been much more well-behaved during this period.”

The military's official in charge of exorcising evil also stated that they had never seen any similar evil god power.

"Where is the mayor? Hasn't he arrived yet?" Xu Lu looked around in confusion. "I'm worried that the evil god's actions are not so simple. It's best to warn the people to be careful."

Since the evil god has decided to invade Yaoyang City, it's unlikely that this is just a small-scale attack.

The mobilization of Yaoyang City residents naturally requires the cooperation of Mayor Chen Shilong.

They waited for a long time, but Chen Shilong did not arrive, nor did they see him send anyone over.

"Could it be that the mayor is not in the city?" Zhou Qi guessed.

Wu Xian pondered for a moment, then took out his phone to check, only to find that he hadn't received a reply to the message he had just sent to Chen Shilong.

"Are you busy with something right now?" Wu Xian wondered to himself.

At this moment, Xiao Dizi's investigation finally yielded results.

“We’ve found it,” Xiao Dizi said. “It’s similar to the previous situation, only more hidden. This construction site just so happens to have dug right near that intrusion point.”

"What happened before?" Wu Xian was startled. "You mean the infiltration of the evil realm?"

“That’s right,” Xiao Dizi said solemnly, “but this time the evil god’s power is much stronger, more secretive, and its infiltration methods are much more sophisticated.”

Wu Xian took a deep breath. "Try following the clues and see if there are any similar infiltration points within Yaoyang City."

"Okay." Little Dizi obediently accepted the order.

Evil gods are deeply hated by both humans and otherworldly beings.

Moreover, after refining the Mani Pearl recently, Xiao Dizi's temperament has changed somewhat, and he can no longer bear to see such tragic things.

Xu Lu and the rest of the association have also begun to study the horrific scene.

“It’s like a kind of evil power at the level of flesh and blood,” Xu Lu analyzed solemnly. “The bones inside the corpse have also been transformed into bizarre flesh and blood tissue under the influence of this evil power. Even the surrounding soil and air are slowly being affected by this evil power.”
