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

Chapter 489 The Allure of the Lost Scroll

In Feng Xu's view, this flesh and blood demon god was becoming more and more like a "great benefactor".

It infiltrated at just the right moment, minimizing its own threat to the extreme, but causing considerable environmental damage.

And then, with its own flesh and blood, it brought so many benefits to humankind.

I almost felt bad about making things worse.

In short: Such a wonderful evil god is absolutely impossible to find even with a lantern!
"It just so happens that those old guys from all sides will be arriving soon. I'll have a good chat with them later." Feng Xu chuckled mischievously.

Ever since the bombshell announcement of the Longevity Pill a few days ago, those old fogies from all sides have been quite agitated, and on their way here, they've been asking him a lot about the Longevity Pill.

Now, with the added fuel of the fire of "ancient scroll heritage," the fire has been lit up.

It seems that the nine major martial arts schools and various forces will have no choice but to fully participate.

"Tsk tsk, Her Majesty the Queen of the Underworld from the Demon God Dojo..."

Feng Xu pondered to himself, then sent the relevant information that the association had collected over the years to his grandson. In addition, his grandson was proficient in the design of necromancy scrolls, so it might really be possible to repair the remnant spirit of the Queen of the Underworld.

Just thinking about the expressions and reactions of the Demon God Dojo at that time made Feng Xu feel inexplicably comfortable.

If it really can't be repaired, then squeeze a hefty sum out of the Demon Gym. If I remember correctly, the Demon Gym still has quite a few good items in its collection.

Just as Fengxu was happily imagining what would happen next, Dawangjun suddenly spoke up.

"Senior Feng, I can't hold back any longer, let's get ready to begin!"

"clear."

Feng Xu's expression instantly turned serious, and he immediately gave an order.

At this moment, the various groups on the front line were already prepared, dispersed within the range of the King Mushroom's mycelium spread, to deal with the evil mushroom monsters that were about to emerge.

Soon after, accompanied by a satisfying "poop" sound from the giant mushroom, poisonous mushrooms exuding an eerie black aura sprouted up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain across the vast front lines.

Under the deliberate control of the giant fungus, these black, eerie mushrooms are not very large and their growth is relatively scattered.

Soon, these black poisonous mushrooms began to mutate and transform into deformed and ugly mushroom monsters.

They are like naturally formed, eerie scrolls, or rather, eerie creatures.

The various teams, which were already prepared, immediately began their mopping-up and annihilation efforts.

At least when it comes to fighting against evil forces, all human beings and even beings from other worlds stand together.

Therefore, while various parties were clearing out the evil mushroom monsters, many powerful demons from different worlds also took the initiative to participate.

Unfortunately, evil power is still evil power and cannot be completely eliminated.

Even if they are physically destroyed, they will still exist in the world in a distorted and polluted form.

But distortion and corruption are better than evil forces.

"Damn it, how did those evil god's servants show up too?"

In the midst of the chaos, some of the evil god's hidden servants also revealed themselves, showing great interest in the power of the eerie mushroom.

"Quick! Don't let them succeed! This thing is the enemy to us, but it's very beneficial to them!"

……

The new abyss, within the realm of flesh and blood.

This land of flesh and blood has now fallen into a lifeless state due to the destruction caused by various groups of people.

In particular, the Corpse Ancestor's absorption and refinement of this flesh and blood world has caused the originally strange and writhing flesh and blood world to begin to show a solidified and withered state.

Although many flesh-and-blood monsters continue to proliferate, as long as they are not of the level of the Evil Underworld Queen, they are relatively easy to deal with.

At this moment, Corpse Ancestor Jiang Chen had also completely consolidated his own power.

The terrifying corpse aura and baleful energy on his body had been greatly reduced, and his overall appearance was much more vivid than before.

But the indifference and cold-bloodedness in his eyes sent chills down one's spine.

【Corpse Ancestor - Jiang Chen】

Version: Original (with gold embroidered border)

Grade: Jade Scroll

Painting Spirit: ★★★★★★★★☆
ferocity: 127
Innate Traits: Immortality, Bloodlust, Remnants of an Ancient God

Judging from the panel data, the level and grade have not increased, but the [ferocity] has received a terrifying boost.

Moreover, judging from what Wu Xian sensed, a purer and more profound spiritual structure had begun to grow within the Corpse Ancestor's body, even showing signs of being mixed with the essence of laws. This was clearly a step towards the Black Scroll.

Corpse Ancestors and ferocious creatures can evolve on their own, and naturally they can also evolve into Law Source Essence through some means.

During the subsequent exploration, I will inevitably want to have a good chat with the Corpse Ancestor.

Unfortunately, the Corpse Ancestor Jiang Chen was ruthless and taciturn, and not very willing to speak.

"Speaking of which, is your consciousness now from our side, or...?" Wu Xian inquired curiously.

“All of these count,” Corpse Ancestor Jiang Chen said coldly, “but he has not yet fully recovered his memories and will.”

Wu Xian understood.

Clearly, the will of the Corpse Ancestor Jiang Chen at this moment is not the will of a true god that came directly from another world, like the God of Wealth.

It's more like a seed of consciousness hidden in the world of the scroll, quietly taking root and sprouting here.

But as this consciousness and will develop, it will eventually resonate with the will of the previous world of China.

After some subtle questioning, Wu Xian and the God of Wealth felt much more at ease.

At this moment, the consciousness of the Corpse Ancestor is more inclined to the level of instinct and does not know about everything that happened to the Corpse Ancestor Jiang Chen.

My understanding of myself is limited to the background of Wu Xian's painting concept.

The current unruly and ferocious nature is merely a manifestation of the Corpse Ancestor's true nature. He doesn't harbor much hatred or hostility towards the gods and Buddhas, nor does he have the series of grudges and affections that the original Corpse Ancestor Jiang Chen had.

He is essentially a corpse ancestor in a state of amnesia, making him easier to fool and deceive.

This situation undoubtedly reduced the instability of the Corpse Ancestor General Chen.

As the various groups continued their in-depth exploration, Zhao Qinghe suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Hmm~ This scroll looks quite unique, and the background color seems pretty good too."

As they slayed flesh-and-blood monsters along the way, the group gradually became attracted to a peculiar scroll puppet.

Because of its good development, it doesn't have many characteristics of a flesh and blood puppet; it looks exactly like a painted spirit.

The problem is that none of the many knowledgeable experts present could recognize what kind of scroll it was.

"Has anyone here seen this scroll before?" Elder Bai looked around curiously. "I don't have any recollection of it. Judging from the aura emanating from the scroll's base, it was at least a jade scroll before."

The bigwigs from all sides looked at each other, clearly not recognizing each other.

It should be understood that any jade scroll painting could not have been created by an unknown person; it would inevitably leave its mark in history and records.

"Could it also be an ancient scroll from the era of cataclysm? The kind that has been completely lost?" A young man from the Divine Capital Dojo asked with great interest.

"Probably."

The people who realized this had their eyes light up.

After all, for today's scroll painters, this is undoubtedly a free inheritance of ancient scrolls; they don't even need to come up with their own ideas, they can just use them directly.

"Ahem, this scroll puppet was first discovered by me," Zhao Qinghe cleared his throat and said righteously, "There's no need for you all to trouble yourselves further."

As he spoke, he gestured to the members of the Necropolis to help him take down the scroll puppet.

Naturally, other parties couldn't pass up such a good opportunity, and they all participated under the guise of helping, vying for attention both openly and covertly.

"Xiao Xianzi, do you recognize that scroll?" Sister Tiao looked at Wu Xian curiously. "It definitely has nothing to do with my side, but perhaps it has some connection with your side?"

"It looks familiar." Wu Xian stared at the scroll puppet for a long time.

It is clearly a female scroll puppet.

Judging from the style, it is definitely not the prototype of the scroll in Chinese mythology, and it is obviously not recognizable from the perspective of the God of Wealth's will.

But it gave him a sense of déjà vu.

Just as I was pondering this, a blazing sun-like radiance suddenly appeared from the horizon, illuminating the entire world of flesh and blood.

Immediately afterwards, two familiar figures, a man and a woman, broke through the air and headed straight for the scroll puppet.

"?!"

The various parties involved in the open and covert struggles were filled with suspicion and vigilance, wondering if some powerful scroll puppet had arrived again.

Upon closer inspection, however, they appear to be two living, breathing human figures rather than scroll puppets.

"Holy crap, how did they get in?"

Wu Xian stared in astonishment, his eyes widening. It turned out to be Jin Mingjie and Miao Youyou.
