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

Chapter 318 The Mentors' Recruitment Process
Wu Xian curiously approached, and Liu Zihan noticed him immediately as well.

After all, the Sea God's attention emanating from Wu Xian was too dazzling; it was hard not to notice him.

"God Father, you've emerged from seclusion?" Liu Zihan greeted him with delight. "That true god from the Strange Abyss wants to invite you to join his divine realm system. I'm so annoyed by him."

Wu Xian nodded and smiled, looking with great interest at the dim, ghostly light above.

Liu Zihan immediately explained that Wu Xian was the original illustrator of [Judge Lu Zhidao of the Investigation Division].

With a hum, the eerie light projected onto Liu Zihan immediately shifted to Wu Xian.

The azure divine light and the dark, ghostly light intertwined, the two divine lights clearly vying for power in the shadows, their light effects clashing and further enhancing the special effects around Wu Xian, attracting countless contestants to stop and watch.

"Holy crap, divine attention! And it's the attention of two true gods."

"Is this...is this reasonable?"

"Who is that guy? What the hell makes him so special?"

"Keep your voice down, buddy. I followed him all the way from the second floor. This guy is tough as nails."

"Isn't it said that only those above the twentieth floor have a chance of receiving divine attention?"

“Excellent picture books will naturally get attention earlier, just like good students in the class. A quiz in class will give the teacher a general idea of ​​their abilities.”

"That's true, but isn't it too early?"

"Waaaaah, I can't accept this!"

“I seem to remember him; he’s the vice president of the Underworld Club.”

“A scroll painter, no wonder.”

"Tsk tsk, are all the scroll painters coming to the Hero's Tower to join the fun these days?"

"Anyway, I've met quite a few scroll painters along the way, and they're all pretty amazing."

The crowd was buzzing with discussion. Wu Xian looked curiously at the two divine gazes above his head. Before he could even speak, the two true gods had already transitioned from the mentor's light-up to the contestant's recruitment.

Canghai Zhiya: "Old ghost, isn't this obviously someone from the Endless Seas? What are you doing here?"

Abyss Demon Lord: "Who says it can only be your people? Hello, young friend. I am the Abyss Demon Lord. I've heard that the scroll depicting the dead is your work? Are you interested in developing your territory in my Ghost Realm?"

"..." Ocean Fang, "Go away, open your eyes and take a good look at the ocean-type true dragon next to you, young friend. How can you be so shameless?"

"Hehe," the Abyss Demon Lord said, "Why don't you take a look at that little girl's necromancy-type golden scroll over there?"

Canghai Zhiya shifted his gaze and could naturally see the extraordinary nature of the [Judge of the Investigation Division]. "Indeed, it is not bad, but I still think this ocean-type true dragon is more outstanding. Young friend, you are obviously more suitable to develop in my Endless Sea."

"Tsk~ I didn't expect my young friend to be such a versatile expert in two systems," the Abyss Demon Lord naturally saw the Dragon King's extraordinary talent. "How about this, let the little guy choose for himself."

Canghai Zhiya agreed, "Young friend, please make your choice."

Wu Xian's eyes were strange. Were both true gods so presumptuous?

He refused the whole way, so Canghai Zhiya didn't listen at all, right?
"I'm sorry, I haven't considered that yet."

Wu Xian politely declined, ignoring the attention of the two true gods, and began to chop and slash in this strange abyss-style dungeon area, preparing to collect some death-related divine shaping factors for research.

Seeing Wu Xian refuse, the Abyss Demon Lord was clearly a little stunned.

"This means... you're not choosing anyone?" The Abyss Demon Lord said, "Young friend, are you worried about offending one of us? Don't worry, Lao Hai and I are brothers who have gone through thick and thin together. You can choose with confidence."

But Wu Xian remained unmoved, engrossed in fighting monsters, completely ignoring their divine attention.

"Huh?!" The Abyss Demon Lord asked, puzzled.

“The little guy has been hesitating for a while,” Canghai Zhiya analyzed. “Perhaps he feels that the current situation has changed too much and wants to wait and see?”

The Abyss Demon Lord: "So young, yet you think so far ahead. I like you even more."

“Old ghost, let me be serious. I want this person. You should know how important the ocean-type true dragon is to me.” Canghai Zhiya suddenly became serious, changing his previous joking tone. “Of course I know that,” the Abyss Demon Lord couldn’t help but hesitate, “but that judge is just too suitable to help me. You know how busy I am right now. With the judge’s ideas, it can help me reduce a lot of my workload.”

Canghai Zhiya was silent for a moment, then said, "Does that mean there's nothing more to say?"

"Let's rely on our own abilities," the Abyss Demon Lord said helplessly. "If all else fails, we'll just accept the divine map but not the people, and each of us will take what we need."

“That’s a good idea,” Canghai Zhiya agreed.

Just then, a ferocious undead golden scroll wielding a large iron hammer suddenly appeared beside Wu Xian below. The dark and illusory seawater raged, turning the monsters in the Ghost Realm instance upside down.

The two true gods instantly noticed the aura of [Fish Gill General].

Both divine lights paused for a moment.

The Abyss Demon Lord: "This Scroll of the Dead is ingeniously conceived! It's a pity it didn't come to my side."

Canghai Zhiya: "Stop fooling around~ This is clearly my ocean-based style, the Ocean-based Undead Scroll, what a genius idea this is."

At this moment, the two true gods were clearly shocked by [Fish Gill Commander].

The idea of ​​combining the necromancy and ocean themes in a scroll painting is not surprising. The key point is that the two can be combined so cleverly, the overall laws and patterns are so harmonious, and the quality and so high-class are so excellent.

To put it simply, the one plus one operation is very common. There are many monsters in their various other worlds that have undergone dimensional fusion, and there are even monsters that have fused three or four elements.

But such an operation, where one plus one is greater than two, is rare.

The key is that the foundation is so good.

"So here's the question: how should this scroll be divided?" - Fang of the Vast Ocean.

Abyss Demon Lord: "Naturally, it's more suitable for you to come to my side. This scroll is clearly based on my undead faction."

Ocean Fang: "It's clearly based on my ocean-type, okay?"

The Abyss Demon Lord: "Where did these undead creatures come from in your Endless Sea?"

Fang of the Ocean: "Where did you get these fish from your Ghost Realm?"

"Hey~" Abyss Demon Lord: "My Ghost Realm actually has quite a few ghostly creatures, including flowers, birds, fish and insects, and quite a few of them."

Fang of the Ocean: "..."

Wu Xian buried himself in grinding monsters and pushing through the levels, secretly chuckling to himself.

Yes, he did it on purpose.

After all, Commander Fishgill is not really suitable for this eerie dungeon area.

The moment the two divine lights met, he thought of the special being [Fish Gill General] and wanted to see how the two true gods would evaluate him.

As it turns out, the charm of Fish Gills was indeed undeniable.

Listening to two true gods bickering in my ear is quite amusing.

Anyway, speedrunning the lower levels isn't difficult or interesting; it's just for fun.

It's rare to have the chance to speak with a few true gods; perhaps I can take this opportunity to find out something.

"How about we invite that Sky Emperor from the Elf Realm over as well?"

Wu Xian's eyes flickered slightly. These three True Gods in the first batch had all attained godhood at the same time, so they were obviously a group. He decided to give them a chance to get together.

At this time, the two true gods were still closely watching Wu Xian's subsequent performance.

Blessed with double divine light, Wu Xian undoubtedly became the most dazzling star in the entire room.
