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

Chapter 495 The Significance of Power in Yaoyang City

"Journey to the West is great, remember to watch it more often."

Wu Xian chuckled and silently released the Golden Scroll and the Golden Dragon.

He hasn't been idle during this time. With the support of various resources and his own efforts in collecting them, he has gathered all twenty-eight constellations, and Kang Jinlong is no exception.

Speaking of this Kang Jinlong statue, we must thank the Holy Spirit Taoist Temple for their secret support.

Since the Twenty-Eight Constellations Divine Map was integrated into the Holy Spirit Divine Realm, his eldest disciple, Xu Cunxin, has been helping him collect various materials.

Many Holy Spirit Dojo families even proactively offered various high-quality materials.

Therefore, apart from lacking a suitable jade scroll core, this golden dragon statue is made entirely of jade scroll specifications.

Theoretically speaking, as long as a suitable [Divine Power Core] is fused later, one can immediately advance to the Jade Scroll level.

Moreover, the God of Wealth is now helping to optimize the details of the Divine Diagram's Law framework.

It can be said that this Kang Jinlong is the pinnacle of the Golden Scrolls, and it would not be an exaggeration to call it a quasi-Jade Scroll.

"There's a story behind Kang Jinlong's dragon horns," the God of Wealth said solemnly. "However, those horns were very important to him. He only used them to help the monkey back then."

Therefore, this move will cause him significant damage; you need to be prepared.

"It's alright, it's just a scroll. Even if it's broken, we can just redraw it," Wu Xian joked.

"Right."

The God of Wealth chuckled silently, once again marveling at the wonders of the scroll world.

"Lord Kang Jin Xingjun, thank you for your trouble!"

Wu Xian looked solemnly at Kang Jinxingjun, bowed deeply to show his respect and entrustment.

The God of Wealth observed everything and nodded with satisfaction, seemingly approving of Wu Xian's meticulous behavior.

Perhaps sensing Wu Xian's respect and entrustment, Kang Jin Xingjun actually took the initiative to transform into a half-human form, switching from the form of a beautiful older sister to the appearance of a half-dragon, with a sharp dragon horn on her forehead that was particularly eye-catching.

Subsequently, Wu Xian used all his spiritual power to support Kang Jin Xingjun, ensuring that the power was fully utilized.

The God of Wealth also bestowed upon us a massive amount of wealth.

Even Xiao Dizi released a series of golden Sanskrit characters, which surrounded Kang Jinlong, further enchanting Kang Jinxingjun's power.

boom!
King Venus crashed head-on into the flesh-and-blood protective membrane, and at the moment of impact, he transformed into a white dragon with a single horn flashing with lightning.

"Ridiculous! You think a mere golden scroll can break through my...what...?!"

The voice of the demon god, which had been mocking him with disdain, was suddenly terrified by the power of Kang Jin Xing Jun's dragon horns.

"This...this...how is this possible? A mere golden scroll..."

hum!hum!hum!
The powerful protective membrane of flesh and blood emitted restless tremors, as if it might collapse at any moment.

Kang Jinlong roared repeatedly, his body crackling with lightning, all his power converging on that one point.

Soon, a tiny opening was forcibly drilled through the powerful flesh and blood protective membrane, and it was continuously stretched larger by Kang Jinlong's dragon horns.

In this situation, the demon god couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

After all, he was still hoping that Chen Shilong's lingering will would agree. As long as Chen Shilong agreed, he could immediately obtain that source of heaven and earth.

At that time, we will have the resources to turn the tide.

"Little Dizi, remember to protect him well!" Wu Xian ordered solemnly, "If anything goes wrong, you'll be held responsible!"

"rest assured."

Xiao Dizi nodded solemnly, ready to provide support.

In an instant, the field was filled with the light of Buddha and the sound of chanting. The phantom of the World-Honored One, Ksitigarbha, appeared behind Xiaodizi.

Wu Xian, on the other hand, directly dispatched the Day and Night Wanderer Gods to transform into wandering spirits and infiltrate the area, immediately capturing Chen Shilong's lingering remnant spirit.

The moment he emerged, Xiao Dizi and the God of Wealth came to his aid, protecting Chen Shilong's lingering spirit from all angles.

As its mission was accomplished, Kang Jinlong in the air seemed to lose its strength, and its momentum quickly waned.

"It's not broken?" the God of Wealth asked in surprise. "You overestimated that evil god."

At this moment, the spirit body of Kang Jin Xing Jun was dim, but it did not shatter. As if it had lost its strength, it transformed into a scroll and merged into the divine picture in Wu Xian's sea of ​​consciousness.

Judging from Wu Xian's perception, Kang Jinlong's spirituality was only cleared, but his level also dropped from six stars to half a star, although the quality of the golden axis did not drop.

I'll find a way to help her recover quickly.

However, Chen Shilong's lingering resentment was much worse than they had expected.

At this moment, with Chen Shilong's lingering remnants being saved, the evil god has gone mad.

The entire "Yaoyang City" began to rapidly distort, and the layers of flesh above began to twist and writhe violently, while the space was constantly squeezed and contracted.

"Damn it, leave them all here—!"

The hysterical roars of the demon god echoed through the world of flesh and blood.

After all, if he doesn't obtain that source of heaven and earth, it will be difficult for him to have the resources to turn the tide later.

If we could obtain Wu Xian's [Corpse Ancestor] as a physical vessel, that would be acceptable, but at present, it seems a bit difficult.

"We'll settle this score slowly!"

Wu Xian coldly glanced around. The Mechanical Dao Ancestor appeared beside him, and the Mechanical Universe Array was activated, greatly slowing down the shrinking of the surrounding flesh and blood.

He then led the group of painters to evacuate the scene.

However, this City of Flesh and Blood is itself situated within layers upon layers of flesh and blood tissue.

With the shrinking and twisting of the evil god, the escape route has been completely blocked.

"Chen Shilong, it's not too late to tell us where that thing is, otherwise this kid will die here today."

The evil god attempted to intimidate and threaten Chen Shilong's lingering spirit.

Indeed, Chen Shilong's lingering resentment also emitted a wave of unease.

"Mayor, don't listen to his nonsense. That guy's days are numbered, he can't do anything to me now," Wu Xian said confidently, reassuring the lingering spirit of Chen Shilong, who was being protected in layers of armor.

They also used the divine diagram to communicate with the Corpse Ancestor for assistance.

The evacuation route is now completely blocked, and we can only rely on the corpse beetles from the Corpse Ancestor's side.

Upon hearing this, Chen Shilong's lingering resentment calmed down somewhat.

"Xiao Wu, you shouldn't have come..."

Chen Shilong's voice was weak and feeble, carrying a deep sense of exhaustion and weariness.

"You have to come!" Wu Xian's eyes inexplicably reddened. "The future of New Yaoyang City is waiting for you to be the mayor. You must hold on. As long as you hold on, I have a way to keep you alive."

Chen Shilong remained silent for a moment, then let out a bitter sigh.

A moment later, after secretly sending a divine thought message to Wu Xian, it fell completely silent. Sensing Chen Shilong's weak divine thought message, Wu Xian's heart grew even heavier.

According to Chen Shilong, he had already secretly separated the origin of heaven and earth in Yaoyang City and hidden it in the city's City God Temple, Earth God Temple, and Dragon King Temple.

Therefore, Wu Xian did not come to save him, and he gradually discovered this later, thus building a brand new world on the blood and flesh ruins of Yaoyang City.

No wonder the area surrounding the Earth God Temple and the City God Temple has remained so sturdy.

However, in order to convince the evil god, he also left a trace of the origin of heaven and earth on himself, which was the key to the successful infiltration of the evil realm.

Wu Xian took a deep breath and decisively channeled a wisp of merit into Chen Shilong's lingering will.

“You’ve done enough. Leave the rest to me,” Wu Xian’s voice trembled inexplicably. “Don’t you want to see a new city rise from the ground?”

Suddenly awakened by the power of merit, Chen Shilong felt somewhat confused and helpless.

He could sense that it was a powerful force on par with the very origin of heaven and earth.

The thought of using such precious power on his last remaining thought left Chen Shilong with mixed feelings.

The roars and harsh words of the demon god still echoed overhead, but Wu Xian paid no attention to them, focusing all his attention on protecting the remnant spirit of Chen Shilong in his hands.

Soon, the flesh and blood that had been blocked in front of them began to tear apart inch by inch.

Several corpse beetles emerged, followed by a continuous stream of them tearing through flesh and blood, surging in like a tidal wave.

Wu Xian and the others were instantly engulfed by the corpse beetles and swept up by the tide of corpse beetles, escorting them all the way out until they saw the light of day again.

In the core area of ​​the Evil Realm, the Corpse Ancestor, with the remnant body of an ancient god behind him, stood like a true god amidst the world of flesh and blood, his vast power enveloping the entire world, his strength clearly having advanced further than before.

Wu Xian could even sense that a portion of the power of the Law Meridians had already sprouted within the Corpse Ancestor's body, and it was not far from the Black Scroll.

The scroll's level has also been further raised to nine and a half stars.

Upon seeing Wu Xian emerge from the swarm of corpse beetles, his sharp gaze instantly locked onto Chen Shilong's lingering spirit.

"Corpse Ancestor, we're counting on you!"

Wu Xian solemnly handed Chen Shilong's lingering spirit to the Corpse Ancestor, his eyes revealing a hint of pleading.

The Corpse Ancestor nodded indifferently, without the slightest emotional fluctuation, and immediately began to use the power of the zombie level.

A moment later, the Corpse Ancestor suddenly stopped, frowning: "This person's will is dead; I cannot keep him."

"Huh?" Wu Xian was somewhat panicked. "How could this happen?"

"My power is built upon that one sliver of obsession and will," the Corpse Ancestor explained indifferently. "As long as the heart does not die, one can transform into a Corpse God. It has no meaning for those whose hearts are dead."

Upon hearing this, Wu Xian and the God of Wealth exchanged a helpless glance.

To put it bluntly, Chen Shilong's heart had already died, but the evil god forcibly preserved this lingering will.

If he still harbors even a trace of resentment or a desire to live, the Corpse Ancestor can transform him into a zombie will, and then have the old lady create a physical body for him.

"Mayor, please straighten up a bit, I'm begging you," Wu Xian said, his eyes reddening as he looked at Chen Shilong's faint remnant spirit. "The people of Yaoyang City are waiting for you to come back."

"To receive such treatment on my deathbed, I, Chen, am content with my life, hahaha." Chen Shilong's lingering resentment seemed to have long since disregarded everything. "I'll just stay in this world as a zombie."

Now that the die is cast, Chen can die without regret.

However, Master Wu's continued reluctance to accept the mayoral position was something that bothered Mr. Chen greatly.

Hearing Chen Shilong's slightly joking tone, Wu Xian knew clearly that Mayor Chen was prepared to disappear into the world.

"Don't you want to live?" Wu Xian asked with a sigh.

“Actually, living too long is pretty boring, isn’t it?” Chen Shilong asked with a smile.

“But if you go, you will be completely destroyed, your body and soul will be scattered.”

“Death is death, it makes no difference to me.” Chen Shilong comforted him, “Don’t be sad about it. When I took over this important task from my superiors, I was already prepared for it.”

In fact, the situation is much, much better than I had anticipated.

Wu Xian sighed bitterly, his eyes filled with reluctance.

"Everything will eventually become the past, and Yaoyang City is no exception," Chen Shilong said calmly. "Yaoyang City has completed its historical mission, and so have I."

In the future, this seed will blossom into new flowers in the hands of future generations.

Upon hearing this, even the Corpse Ancestor and the God of Wealth present were moved by Chen Shilong's magnanimity and seemed to have gained some insight.

To the Corpse Ancestor, Chen Shilong and she were like two extremes.

For the God of Wealth, this magnanimous acceptance of life and death also brought him a unique insight.

What is the purpose of cultivating oneself to become an immortal and achieve eternal life?
Wu Xian was also filled with emotion, but he still felt a lingering fondness for the mayor.

But he could also sense Chen Shilong's inner feelings.

For someone who has dedicated their entire life to Yaoyang City, being able to exit the stage together with Yaoyang City is a perfect exit.

Boom boom boom...

After Chen Shilong's lingering spirit was rescued, the Demon God had completely gone mad, and the entire Evil Realm began to violently stir, with countless evil races and flesh-and-blood demons continuously gathering in this direction.

However, it was firmly isolated from the outside by the power of the Corpse Ancestor.

"Yaoyang City will eventually become a thing of the past, so why are you doing this?" Chen Shilong looked around at the restless scene in the evil realm and sighed softly.

Upon hearing this, Wu Xian couldn't help but ask curiously, "Could that demon god really be the creator of Yaoyang City?"

“No, but he is the son of the first creator, the first young city lord,” Chen Shilong explained. “It’s just that the era was special, and he, who was once given high hopes, embarked on a completely different path.”

Ultimately, the first creator handed over this authority to another outstanding young talent, our first mayor.

Regardless of how times change, the succession of the mayoral position has always preserved this excellent tradition.

"From what you're saying, it seems there was no distinction between good and evil in that era?" Wu Xian asked in surprise.

“That’s one way to put it.” Chen Shilong said noncommittally. “Speaking of which, we could take this opportunity to talk to Master Wu about some key things. You should already know that the power in Yaoyang City is not simple.”

From a certain perspective, we are at the same level as the upper echelons, which is the fundamental reason why the upper echelons have never been able to incorporate our group of first-generation cities.

Unfortunately, many details and inside information have been lost to time, and this is all that Chen knows.

Wu Xian and the God of Wealth were not surprised by this.

From the moment they learned of the phrase "the origin of heaven and earth," they realized that this "property right" in Yaoyang City was involved in a huge and significant matter.

“From the moment I saw the scroll depicting the [Flower and Fruit Mountain] domain, I clearly realized that Master Wu was the best candidate for this authority.” Chen Shilong continued, “Perhaps one day in the future, a completely new order of heaven and earth can be established on this precious seed.”

"A completely new world order?" Wu Xian's heart trembled slightly. At least he was very confident in this regard. "Why don't you become a zombie? Believe me, as long as you are willing to stay, you will definitely be able to witness that day with your own eyes!"

Chen Shilong, as always, was open-minded and chuckled, "But before that, we still have to compete with the Evil Realm for a while, since the Evil Realm has already integrated a trace of the power of Yaoyang City."

Only by regaining that last bit of power can this authority be considered complete.

Of course, in this regard, Mr. Chen had great confidence in Master Wu.
