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

Chapter 488 The Evil God is "Good"!
As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly realized.

"So, the scroll puppets have become investment products in his hands?" Shiraishi Qi quipped succinctly.

“That makes sense,” Elder Bai joked from the side.

People from all sides nodded in agreement; it seems that Wu Xian's deduction is the most reasonable at present.

"In other words, all the scrolls of the older generation who died in the great war to drive out the flesh and blood demon god may appear here?" the elder leading the Tongtian Taoist Temple pondered.

“Very likely,” Wu Xian nodded solemnly, “the current Queen of the Underworld may just be the beginning.”

Upon hearing this, the people from all sides exchanged bewildered glances, their eyes flickering uncertainly.

As the saying goes, fortune and misfortune are interdependent.

This might not necessarily be a bad thing for any of them.

At least for now, the Flesh and Blood Demon God is in an awkward stage and is easy to bully.

But those ancient scrolls, treasured by the flesh and blood demons for thousands of years, are all extremely precious.

It's important to understand that in that era, even the realm of gods hadn't been formed yet, and many exquisite scrolls were eventually lost.

Even obtaining a fragment of spirit is a considerable gain.

Especially a remnant spirit of the Queen of the Underworld, its value goes without saying.

If before, all parties were merely responding to the call and joining in the fun, then from this moment on, the significance of this battle to eliminate evil immediately changes.

The leaders of each side exchanged glances, understanding each other implicitly.

After returning, all parties will definitely devote themselves fully to this great battle.

The Queen of the Underworld from the Demon God Dojo has appeared, and their respective inheritance scrolls may also appear.

If we can get our hands on it, it will be a great thing for all parties.

The key point is that if other forces obtain the remnants of one's own spirit, the situation will become very troublesome.

Therefore, regardless of whether there are any inheritances from different factions within the new Abyss, each faction can only follow the principle of being prepared for the worst, in order to prevent their own inheritances from falling into the hands of other factions.

Of course, it would be great if you were lucky enough to receive the lineage from another dojo.

It can either attack other divine realms or annihilate other dojos.

Of course, the members of the Demon God Dojo had no time to think about these things; their minds were preoccupied with how to get their hands on the remnant spirit of the Queen of the Underworld from Wu Xian.

If they can't get it back, the higher-ups will definitely blame them for not doing their job well.

There was no other way; the Queen of the Underworld was simply too important to their Demon God Dojo.

“Brother Wu Xian, state your conditions,” the elder of the Demon God Dojo spoke again, “My Demon God Dojo will absolutely accept them.”

"You can accept anything?" Wu Xian joked.

“That’s right.” The elder of the Demon God Dojo said solemnly.

"Can you just give me the Demon God's Domain?" Wu Xian asked tentatively with a smile.

"..."

The Demon God Elder's forehead went black, and the crowds from all sides couldn't help but laugh.

It just goes to show that people can really laugh when they're speechless.

"Brother Wu Xian, are you perhaps making fun of me?" The Demon God Elder seemed somewhat displeased.

"You mean you can accept anything?" Wu Xian pouted sullenly. "Anyway, let's not rush this. We can talk about it later. Right now, the most urgent thing is to find the mayor."

After saying that, he stopped wasting words with the Demon God Dojo and turned his attention to Corpse Ancestor Jiang Chen.

The members of the Demon God Dojo were anxious, but there was nothing they could do.

Wu Xianming clearly didn't want to give up easily, but they couldn't force him to.

We can only wait for our own elders to arrive before making a decision.

Little did they know, Wu Xian had never intended to let go.

...Outside the dimensional rift, on the front lines of Yaoyang City.

When the Corpse Ancestor absorbed the power of the Corpse Beetles, he didn't use a single bit of Wu Xian's spiritual power, but the Corpse Beetle Elder here was in a terrible state.

Although the Corpse Ancestor's absorption of the Corpse Beetles didn't affect him much, and he was happy to support the Corpse Ancestor, the amount absorbed was simply too enormous.

At first, Elder Corpse Beetle only broke out in a cold sweat.

But as the Corpse Ancestor absorbed more and more intensely, he was as if his yang energy had been drained, turning him into a half-dead, withered old man.

This scene nearly scared the association members to death.

Fortunately, the King Fungus reacted quickly, immediately sending out several mycelia to pierce the Corpse Beetle Elder's body. With the help of the massive life force in the evil god's flesh and blood, it pulled back the Corpse Beetle Elder's vitality.

"What happened? Did the evil god attack you?" Elder Feng asked solemnly.

Elder Corpse Beetle, having recovered, hurriedly explained, "No, no, no, it's just that the Corpse Ancestor's growth rate was too fast, and he borrowed a lot of power from me."

"So ruthless?" Elder Feng clicked his tongue in surprise.

Although he knew that his grandson's zombie scroll was no pushover, wasn't this a bit too ruthless?

It almost sucked Elder Corpse Beetle to death.

"It's alright," Elder Corpse Beetle waved his hand and smiled, without the slightest blame or resentment, appearing completely willing. "It is the greatest honor of my life to be able to contribute to the forging of the Corpse Ancestor."

I can sense that the Corpse Ancestor has awakened, and perhaps it won't be long before we witness the birth of a zombie god.

Upon hearing this, the members of the association were both surprised and suspicious.

"Does Elder Corpse Beetle mean that Xian'er's zombie scroll has a chance to become a god?" Elder Feng asked incredulously.

"Although I don't know how to achieve it, I just have this feeling, and it's very strong."

Elder Corpse Beetle's eyes were filled with excitement and fanaticism.

Throughout his life, he dedicated himself to the research of special powers such as corpse beetles and corpse energy. Young people were always disliked and regarded as monsters until he was recruited by the Association's Strange Department, at which point he began to live a peaceful life.

For the past ten years or so, he believed that he had developed the power of [corpse energy] to its fullest extent.

It wasn't until the appearance of the Corpse Ancestor Jiang Chen that he became fascinated by the ancient and pure corpse energy and baleful aura.

It can be said that the Corpse Ancestor is now his guiding light.

Upon hearing this, Elder Feng and the rest of the association were secretly excited. "Is a true god finally going to be born in our extraordinary world?"
Are the theories constructed by our ancestors finally about to be realized?

Although it's just speculation and a hunch right now, it's exciting enough.

After all, that is the ultimate goal of all scroll painters in the world.

For thousands of years, no one has ever succeeded.

With the emergence of the four otherworldly true gods, the entire human world urgently needs a true god belonging to humanity to boost the confidence and morale of all mankind.

"However, it seems there was a special situation inside just now." Elder Corpse Beetle came to his senses and quickly reported.

When his power was first absorbed by the Corpse Ancestor, it also established a mysterious connection between him and the Corpse Ancestor, and he gained a clear understanding of some of the situations and scenes at the scene.

"Special circumstances?" Elder Feng asked seriously.

Soon after, the members of the association were shocked by Elder Corpse Beetle's description and explanation.

"What? The Queen of the Underworld from the Demon God Dojo? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

“There’s no mistake,” Elder Corpse Beetle confirmed. “At this moment, the Queen of the Underworld’s flesh puppet has been captured by the Corpse Ancestor, and the remnant spirit has also fallen into the hands of Young Master Wu.”

"Hiss~ This is really..." Elder Feng's eyes flickered uncertainly. "If Xian'er's deduction is true, then all the major academies will probably be in a state of turmoil. Hahaha, interesting, interesting, really interesting."

"I suddenly find this flesh-and-blood demon quite adorable."

So far, while the flesh-and-blood demons have brought disaster and casualties, they have also brought various mysterious benefits and, to some extent, promoted the development of the extraordinary scroll.

In particular, his grandson Wu Xian's corpse ancestor Jiang Chen might even be able to use this to forge a path to godhood and break the shackles that the human race has no true gods.

What surprised him even more was that the Flesh and Blood Demon God actually possessed an ancient scroll from that brilliant era a thousand years ago.
