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

Chapter 311 The Tacit Understanding and Actions of the True Gods

With his eldest disciple gone, Wu Xian felt a void in his heart.

After all, Xu Cunxin was not only his disciple, but also one of his top generals.

People from all walks of life are very curious about the new Hero Tower.

However, apart from the league headquarters, the hero tower data of each provincial branch has not been updated yet. We can only wait for the top players at the headquarters hero tower to experience it and share some information.

"Alright, go about your business as usual."

Wu Xian waved his hand, signaling the club members to return to their posts.

No matter how the world changes, life goes on, doesn't it?

But Wu Xian could also clearly feel that today's series of events had completely pushed the world into a new chapter.

If the appearance of the previous three gods was just a warm-up for the new version, then the appearance of the fourth true god today, along with the changes to the League of Legends Towers, has completely opened the door to a new era.

Previously, Wu Xian wasn't particularly interested in pushing through the Hero Tower.

I'll definitely need to go to the Hero Tower and experience it properly in the future.

It was getting late, but Wu Xian didn't disrupt his rhythm.

After chatting with my master for a few minutes, we rushed to the Spider Cave, the insect world's outpost, overnight.

"Wow, that's impressive! It's only been a few days and you've already reached four and a half stars?"

At the Spider Cave outpost, thanks to the efforts of Kun Youniang and Zhou Qi, their levels increased rapidly.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth has also increased significantly compared to before.

Compared to the chaotic and desolate landscape of the surrounding insect world, it has a rather idyllic feel.

Zhou Qi has already begun exploring and researching the "Beast" series.

He was secretly surprised to learn that Wu Xian was interested in his ideas for creating a malevolent object.

Of course, Wu Xian wouldn't let him suffer a loss, so he directly shared his thoughts on the ferocious beasts from the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

Upon seeing this idea, Zhou Qi's eyes lit up, and he was completely captivated.

He immediately shared the core concept of the murder weapon with Wu Xian.

To be fair, Zhou Qi's core concept as a dangerous player is quite something, especially his disregard for the rules, which has great potential for development.

While pondering the design of the malevolent creature, they arrived at the Spider Cave.

Kun Youniang was clearly also alarmed by the [Azure Tree King]'s attainment of enlightenment.

Fortunately, compared to the human world, the birth of otherworldly demon gods has little impact on the otherworldly beings; at most, it only deepens the erosion and infiltration of the corresponding other dimensions.

"Has there been any activity at the outpost lately?" Wu Xian inquired.

"It's nothing. Some insectoid demons had their eyes on my territory, but I drove them all away."

Kun Youniang's brows revealed a hint of pride. In recent days, with the help of the Spider Immortal's scroll drawing ideas and the Spider Cave, her realm and strength have improved by leaps and bounds.

The surrounding Zerg monsters were no match for her at all.

Wu Xian chuckled and then discussed with Kun You Niang the changes in the otherworldly true gods and the human world.

Kun Youniang was also extremely surprised to learn that the three true gods had incorporated the dojo into the Hero Tower system.

“It seems there really is such a possibility,” Kunyouniang analyzed seriously. “Especially after recently comprehending the concept of your set of paintings, this feeling has become more and more obvious.”

Perhaps after we attain godhood, we might truly find ourselves on the same path as you human scroll painters.”

Upon hearing this, Wu Xian couldn't help but sigh with admiration.

After the great demon from another world became a god, it transformed into an existence similar to a "scroll artist," which undoubtedly demonstrates the correctness of the path of the scroll artist.

At least the upper world has definitely gone astray.

I just don't know exactly what kind of methods the otherworldly true god scroll painters use.
"They must be quite different from human scroll painters, right?" Wu Xian couldn't help but think of Xiao Dizi. "Xiao Dizi, weren't you a lackey of the Abyss Demon Lord before? Tell me about it."

But Xiao Dizi said with resentment, "Don't ask me. I just started following the Abyss Demon Lord, and then you killed me. I only saw the Abyss Demon Lord once."

"Okay," Wu Xian said, both amused and exasperated, "what does the Abyss Demon Lord look like?"

"He's quite handsome."

"and then?"

"I'm just a minor lord, I don't even dare to look directly at people, how could I possibly examine them closely?" Xiao Dizi said with a sneer.

Wu Xian's forehead went black, and he ignored Xiao Dizi. "By the way, Second Sister-in-law, what do you think about the intercity space routes in the human world? Why is the Sky Emperor specifically targeting this point?"

Kun Youniang pondered for a moment and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the True Gods are all using their own methods to target and undermine the upper world, but I don't know exactly what they are targeting."

"Targeting the upper echelons? Undermining the power of the upper echelons?"

Wu Xian couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

The actions of the Sky Emperor Spirits were the most obvious; they targeted the intercity space lines, ignoring all other spatial devices.

In other words, intercity spatial lines have a certain special effect on the upper level.

The Abyss Demon Lord hasn't made any obvious moves, but upon closer examination, the "undying spirit" characteristic should be the key.

Yes, it must be that the spirit is immortal!

Wu Xian suddenly thought of the wandering human souls that appeared in the city after the City God Temple was built.

Then, upon closer reflection, it became terrifying.

Where have the souls of ordinary people gone after they die?
Judging from the number of human souls lost in Yaoyang City at least so far, they are all clearly recent deaths.

So the question is, where did all the human souls of those who died in Yaoyang City go?

In a daze, Wu Xian seemed to understand something.

Are intercity space lines some kind of transport conduits for collecting the souls of the dead from major cities?
Because of the blockade of space routes, the human souls of those who have recently died in Yaoyang City have been stockpiled.
The "undying spirit" characteristic might be intended to limit the upper world's ability to refine and utilize human souls in some way.
In this way, everything became clear.

"Makes sense!"

Kun Youniang agreed with this idea.

Currently, the actions of the ancient sea god [Fang of the Sea] in the Endless Sea are unclear.

We could go back and observe the endless sea and coastal cities to look for clues.

With the Sky Emperor and the Abyss Demon Lord cooperating so seamlessly, the Fang of the Azure Sea certainly couldn't be idle either.

The newly crowned Azure Tree King will certainly make some moves in the future.

It seems the saying is true: the world has suffered under the rule of the upper class for far too long!

As it stands, at least in the matter of confronting the upper world, the otherworldly gods are not enemies.

But one thing is one thing, and the future struggle for divine positions and the Great Dao will still see them as competitors.

"By the way, Second Sister-in-law, where is that plant-dimensional infiltration zone you mentioned before? I'm planning to go take a look," Wu Xian said.

Kun Youniang's expression was strange. "Isn't it inappropriate to go now?"

"Any questions?"

"I forgot to tell you, that plant-dimensional penetration zone corresponds to the Azure Tree King's green desert."

"With the magnanimity of a true god, surely he wouldn't bully small fry like us?" Wu Xian asked with a strange expression.

“It’s nothing for you to go there, but it’s a different story for me to go there,” Kun Youniang explained helplessly. “The Dimensional Fusion Zone is a place where the two worlds fight each other. The Azure Tree King just attained enlightenment, and I went there to fight and kill. Isn’t that obviously provoking him?”

“Alright,” Wu Xian shook his head suddenly, “Just take me there.”
