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

Chapter 314 High-Difficulty Mission

King Sky Tree is definitely an honest man, and worth getting to know better.

"Don't worry, senior, I will definitely help you revive your old friend."

After thanking the Azure Tree King again, they left the green desert with Kun Youniang's help.

When passing through the dimensional rift, there was even a sense of reluctance.

On the other hand, Kun Youniang was already sweating profusely with fear, "Little Xianzi, you really are..."

"What's there to be afraid of? The Azure Tree King is clearly an approachable senior." Wu Xian said calmly with a joke, "Once I restore his old friend, we'll be able to rely on this big tree."

Kun Youniang was both amused and exasperated. "A true god-level friend, how could he be an ordinary great demon? How could he be so easily recreated using a scroll?"

Not only her, but even the Azure Tree King probably didn't expect Wu Xian to be able to restore his old friend.

After all, the conception of a picture scroll also varies in difficulty.

Restoring the Azure Tree King, this old friend, is undoubtedly the most challenging concept for this scroll painting.

Normally, the conception of a painting scroll is based on imagination and free expression.

Inspired by and framed by the laws of the [Divine Power Fragments], a relatively fitting approach to the scroll was conceived, which is why the Jade Scroll is so difficult.

The key point is that the black piece of wood wasn't a [Divine Power Fragment].

It's just the tip of the iceberg of a set of laws, and even that's a "chaotic" set of laws.

The reason why otherworldly demons become catastrophic or world-destroying is because the development of their laws and principles has become disordered, causing them to lose their sense of self and their power to become uncontrollable, similar to a state of demonic possession.

Therefore, the laws contained in that black wood were not only few, but also contained an incorrect version of the laws.

It's like taking a small part from a mix of true and false clues and then asking you to fill in the rest in your mind to form the complete chain of clues.

In Kunyouniang's view, this was almost an impossible task.

"It seems my second sister-in-law doesn't have much confidence in me," Wu Xian asked with a smile.

“…” Kunyouniang shook her head.

This is no longer a matter of confidence; it's simply unrealistic.

Little did they know, Wu Xian was no ordinary person.

Wu Xian was too lazy to argue with her. He figured that once he got the black piece of wood out, his sister-in-law would understand.

On the way back to the Spider Cave outpost, Wu Xian couldn't help but ask inquiring, "By the way, Second Sister-in-law, what do those prefixes like Ancient Era, Pre-Era, Post-Era, and New Era used by the otherworldly true gods mean?"

"It seems to be related to the development direction of our divine power core."

Wu Xian seemed to be deep in thought.

To put it bluntly, the laws that have naturally developed among the great demons of other worlds do not have only one direction. They may correspond to several "standard answers" at the same time, with each answer corresponding to a different "era" of the path to godhood.

Or perhaps it's not just about otherworldly demons; the ideas of human scroll painters could also contain a variety of possibilities.

Even for Wu Xian, a transmigrator with his own system, the ideas for the scroll he has are not necessarily limited to one direction.

After all, Chinese mythology is a complicated history, with several different versions of the same mythological figure.

After returning to the Spider Cave, Wu Xian couldn't help but secretly observe the spirited young centipede demon.

According to Kunyouniang, the young man is not currently showing any abnormalities.

"Maybe I'm overthinking it."

Wu Xian chuckled silently. It would be best if there were no problems.

They immediately returned to the Underworld Club via the outpost teleportation device.

It was already noon on the second day, almost a day since the fourth true god had successfully attained enlightenment the previous day. Human society had gradually calmed down from the initial panic.

It seems that humanity has already accepted the existence of otherworldly gods in its subconscious.

This can be seen from the various opinions expressed online.

When the three gods were born, the internet was filled with a despairing atmosphere of "humanity has been utterly defeated".

However, many humans have now quietly accepted the existence of these otherworldly demon gods, and so far, the demon gods have not done anything outrageous to humans.

However, the changes in the laws of nature have brought some minor troubles to humankind.

For example, there are frequent rat infestations in various places, the difficulty in killing undead monsters, and the significant increase in the combat power of marine monsters.

Some groups have even emerged that worship the true God.

With the Hero Tower's 60th floor update imminent, Spirit Masters from all over are curious about the changes to the Hero Tower and what exactly the True God's Blessing is.

At the league headquarters, many top players have begun attacking the Hero Tower, but there is no concrete information available yet.

"Vice President, there's a list of gold coupons that specifically asks for you," a staff member reminded him. "They're waiting over in the rest area."

Wu Xian nodded knowingly and strode towards the rest area.

From afar, they spotted Hu Yanfei's familiar figure. "Oh~ Brother Hu Yan, have you finally seen the light?"

"..." Hu Yanfei's lips twitched. "You're overthinking it. I'm just here to exchange for gold coupons."

"Is that so?" Wu Xian thought to himself, feeling a pang of regret.

He then glanced at the two gold vouchers in Hu Yanfei's hand and secretly clicked his tongue in amazement.

Goodness, how much money did this guy spend?
They just randomly pulled out two gold tickets without any regard for fate.

"Are the materials ready?" Wu Xian asked with a smile.

"No."

"Then why did you come here?" Wu Xian asked, both amused and exasperated.

Hu Yanfei said irritably, "I saw on your official website that two lower-level gold vouchers can be exchanged for one higher-level gold voucher. I'm quite interested in your constellation series. Give me the material requirements today, and I'll go and collect them."

"I see," Wu Xian said, suddenly realizing. "To be honest, the Starry Sky series might not be suitable for you. I have another smaller series here, would you like to give it a try?"

"A small series?" Hu Yanfei's expression was strange. "I've already spent so much money, you can't possibly rip me off again, can you?"

“How could that be? Brother Huyan is a major client of our club. We would never cheat you.” Wu Xian enthusiastically promoted the idea. “To be honest, the first time I saw Brother Huyan, I felt that you were a perfect fit for this little series.”

As he spoke, he summoned the Four Little Gods of Wealth and showed them to Hu Yanfei.

"Will it work?" Hu Yanfei seemed somewhat worried.

"Don't worry~ those not in the card pool are all my treasured personal items," Wu Xian smiled warmly. "Oh right, these four gold scrolls are from the same series as the one I usually use."

As he spoke, he also released his personal God of Wealth.

Upon seeing the God of Wealth, Hu Yanfei immediately decided, "You should have said so earlier, this is the series!"

Although he didn't understand the level of the Four Little Gods of Wealth, he did have some understanding of the level of the God of Wealth.

"By the way, are you sure you're not coming to our club, Brother Huyan?" Wu Xian couldn't help but ask again.

“This…” Hu Yanfei hesitated, “Perhaps we can consider it.”

In the past, he definitely wouldn't have considered it. After all, his family was wealthy and he didn't need to risk his life at the club. He could just throw money at whatever scrolls he wanted.

But the world is changing every day, and the family's finances are starting to run into difficulties, forcing him to reconsider his future.
