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

Chapter 339 The Operation of the Underworld and Miss Meng Po
Fortunately, he didn't care about that.

Everyone has their own judgment on who is telling the truth and who is lying.

In my past life, when the neighbors plagiarized culture, they would at least make some localized modifications.

In contrast, the Zhao family's imitation today is rather clumsy, a complete and utter copy, and anyone with eyes can see the difference.

This can also be seen from the subsequent changes in popularity on both sides.

"When are we going to the Necropolis?" Wu Xian asked excitedly.

“It will be soon,” Xue Lingling pondered. “The day my master, the Ghost Emperor, perfects his plan will be the day my Xue family returns to the Realm of the Dead.”

Upon hearing this, Wu Xian decided to speed up his master's progress.

So, under the guise of discussing the Dao through scrolls, they began to offer various subtle pointers and reminders, hoping to help their master sister create the Ghost Emperor as soon as possible.

Of course, he wasn't idle either. While developing the underworld outposts these days, he was also further improving the Ten Kings of Hell system.

To be honest, those motorcycle taxi drivers and their gang of super mining thugs are really something else.

Every day, they roam the eerie abyss, seizing any opportunity to "steal" high-value minerals and materials.

In addition, the Hero Tower provided a large amount of Hero Points after the update to the Underworld.

The Ten Kings of Hell have now been completed and perfected, with the first five kings already in place.

After finishing her discussion with her mentor, she came out of the president's bedroom and happened to run into Wang Xiaocong, who was at the club selecting suitable materials.

"How's your understanding of those principles I shared with you last time?" Wu Xian asked curiously.

“I have gained a lot of insights,” Wang Xiaocong replied excitedly. “By the way, Brother Xian, I was just about to discuss your views on astrology with you.”

"Astrology?" Wu Xian was taken aback and stunned. "Why are we suddenly talking about this?"

Wang Xiaocong said with great interest: "To be honest, I felt that your Twenty-Eight Mansions system was very magical a long time ago, so I had the idea of ​​studying the stars. Recently, I have been studying how to integrate the concept of stars into my tool design."

Upon hearing this, Wu Xian was startled. "Is there any progress?"

“Of course I do,” Wang Xiaocong immediately pulled out a bunch of sketches, all of which were celestial patterns, leaving Wu Xian stunned. “These celestial patterns… you just made them up out of thin air?”

Some of these constellations look so familiar.

It's important to know that there are no stars in this world, at least not after the dimensional cataclysm.

“Of course not,” Wang Xiaocong explained, “A large part of it comes from some ancient books and materials that the old man found, which contain information about ancient starry skies and constellations.”

"Really?" Wu Xian couldn't help but become interested.

Wang Xiaocong wasn't stupid either; he immediately took out some ancient books and materials and handed them to Wu Xian to look through.

Wu Xian was increasingly alarmed as he looked at it. "Where did it come from?"

"I don't know, the old man didn't say for sure either, it seems like he came from the Tiangong Martial Arts Academy," Wang Xiaocong said.

"Tiangong Martial Arts Academy?"

Wu Xian's expression was strange; it seemed that Old Master Wang Fengnian did indeed have some connection with the Tiangong Martial Arts Academy.

As for these ancient books and materials, they were more like clues to him. The content itself wasn't of much use to him, since they were all materials he already had from his previous life.

Looking at Wang Xiaocong's sketches again, they include everything from weapons and armor to magical artifacts.

"I feel your idea is feasible, but it's not cool enough," Wu Xian commented thoughtfully. "And your conception and utilization of celestial phenomena are not very good either."

"Please give me some pointers, Brother Xian," Wang Xiaocong said humbly, seeking guidance.

“Well, take my Twenty-Eight Mansions as an example. I used the concept of star gods to deify them,” Wu Xian pointed out indirectly. “So you can completely deify these celestial phenomena and use them as the background for your artifacts. This will make the effect of the artifact scroll even more powerful.”

"To deify the stars?" Wang Xiaocong's eyes flickered, as if he were deep in thought.

When it comes to giving pointers, it's important to stop short of revealing the key points.

The rest is up to him to figure out.

Arriving at the City God Temple outside the club, Du Yifan had essentially absorbed the entire Yaoyang City defense force, granting them spiritual powers from the temple. This wasn't just happening in Yaoyang City; similar incorporation was underway in neighboring cities with City God Temples.

With the addition of the defense force, the souls of the dead in the city were generally properly sent to the City God Temple.

Then, they were sent to the [Underworld] outpost via the City God Temple.

"How's the mission with the Abyss Demon Lord going?" Wu Xian asked Du Yifan as he stepped forward.

"The souls of the dead from all walks of life in Tianfeng Province are being systematically transferred to our Yaoyang City and several neighboring brother cities," Du Yifan reported. "The True God Senior is quite sensible; he didn't just dump them all on us at once."

Wu Xian understood.

Since the last discussion with the Abyss Demon Lord, the Abyss Demon Lord has assigned the task of settling the souls of the dead throughout Tianfeng Province to Wu Xian.

These days, everyone at the Underworld Club has been extremely busy.

Because there is no corresponding divine power, the entire underworld system has to be operated manually.

The collection of souls at the City God Temple is only the first step; the underworld outposts also need to follow suit.

They were teleported to the gates of hell.

Zhang Zihao and another club member, along with the Ox-Head and Horse-Face guardians, stand at the gates of hell, extraditing and verifying countless souls.

On the road to the underworld, the souls wander aimlessly. It's best to arrange for some people to guide them so they don't get lost.

On the Wangxiangtai (Viewing Home) platform, the departed souls inevitably weep, creating a powerful atmosphere.

There's no need to manage Evil Dog Ridge and Golden Rooster Mountain afterwards; we can just skip them. After all, there aren't any creatures unique to the underworld like evil dogs and golden roosters at this outpost.

Without the trials of Evil Dog Ridge and Golden Rooster Mountain, Wild Ghost Village was naturally deserted.

Next, they arrived at the Hall of Bewitching Souls, where the souls began to confess their sins.

Then, under the shadowy guidance of the club members, he was escorted to Fengdu City for trial.

After going through a series of stages where their functions were not yet fully developed, they were eventually placed in various ghost fortresses and became ghost citizens of the underworld outposts.

Currently, only a very small number of souls meet the criteria for reincarnation.

So, at the Resurrection Cliff and the Bridge of Helplessness, the young version of Meng Po has already been arranged to be in place, and the task of customizing the pure and innocent Xiao Yu has also been completed, and she has been sent over.

The holder of Meng Po's power at the underworld outpost is none other than Yao Xue'er, her obedient disciple.

Occasionally, a few lost souls would come and, thanks to the special abilities of Miss Meng Po, would drink Meng Po's soup.

Meng Po

Version: Original (with gold embroidered border)

Grade: Gold Axis

Painting Spirit: ★★★★

Spirituality: 89
Innate Trait: To end this life, experiencing all flavors of life, from sweet to bitter, spicy to salty, and to be reborn as a soul.

The souls that drink Meng Po's soup become dazed and confused, as if they were reborn. Then, with the combined efforts of Miss Meng Po and the underworld's outpost, they are sent to the Bridge of Helplessness to enter the cycle of reincarnation.

It's just unclear whether these souls can truly be reincarnated after being put into the next life.

Seeing Wu Xian approach, Yao Xue'er couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Master, what's the point of us wasting manpower and resources?"

"It does have some meaning, doesn't it?" Wu Xian asked with a smile. "At least you, Meng Po, will get a significant boost."

Not only Meng Po's scroll, but all the scrolls in the underworld that perform their duties can be fundamentally optimized and improved.

If there is a soul resonance, the level of resonance can be greatly enhanced, and some people have even activated the [Fate Mark].

Most importantly, the scroll depicting the [Underworld] realm is also constantly being improved under the operation of this series of functions, and the veins of the laws of heaven and earth are slowly growing.
