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

Chapter 431 The Threat of the Demon God
An astonishing aura of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth spread out, causing the four True Gods to be greatly alarmed.

The way they looked at the Mechanical Dao Ancestor was as if they had seen a ghost.

“That scroll…” Canghai Zhiya exclaimed in surprise and doubt, “What a profound aura of law!”

"No wonder he was able to severely injure the heavens; this god of mechanical creation is indeed extraordinary."

"Perhaps this is the true meaning of God?"

Even the Azure Tree King and his companions could not hide their amazement.

Compared to the will of the "foreign" true god, the God of Mechanical Creation, the four native true gods who had just been born were ultimately too immature.

In terms of strength and ability, they are certainly not inferior.

The main difference lies in their level of understanding and their knowledge of the laws of heaven and earth.

In fact, the will of the God of Mechanical Creation is indeed powerful, but at least half of the mysterious aura it is displaying at this moment comes from the "Dao Ancestor".

Buzz~!

The heaven and earth shook.

Strange phenomena appeared in the sky as the Mechanical God Realm descended upon the insect realm's dome, tearing through the void as it arrived.

The enormous "mechanical planet" slowly opened up like a hamster ball, vaguely revealing a massive mechanical entity.

"Thank you all for your help," came the majestic voice of the God of Mechanical Creation from the Mechanical God Realm. "The current chaos is caused by me, and I will do my utmost to help."

As he spoke, streaks of fleeting data characters rained down from the Mechanical God Realm.

The fleeting data characters seemed to be imprinted with the aura of some great Dao of Heaven and Earth, enveloping the battlefield of the evil realm.

Wu Xian and his group watched all this silently from below, all they could do was wait.

Time passes minute by minute.

The four true gods gradually frowned, seemingly joining forces with the god of mechanical creation to repair some kind of cosmic law.

The area of ​​the Evil Realm Battlefield has also begun to shrink without anyone noticing.

However, as the battlefield of evil realms shrank, the "evil" aura within grew stronger, as if another force was resisting the repairs made by the true gods.

"Something's wrong! Something's not right!"

The voice of the God of Mechanical Creation, filled with astonishment and unease, echoed from the mechanical divine realm above.

The four true gods clearly sensed something was wrong and quickly stopped their repair work.

Wu Xian and his group were on tenterhooks.

"What happened?" Wu Xian asked hurriedly.

“The situation is much more serious than we expected,” the Azure Tree King took a deep breath. “The evil aura seems to have completely merged with the power of heaven and earth in this area, and our repairs are being transformed into repairs and improvements to the evil realm.”

Upon hearing this, Wu Xian was greatly surprised.

To put it bluntly, if we want to repair this eerie area, we must also repair the original, nascent evil realm.

"Can't it be removed?" Wu Xian frowned.

“It’s unlikely,” the Abyss Lord shook his head bitterly. “Unless the creator of the entire world is resurrected, there is no way to get rid of it.”

"Even the God of Mechanical Creation can't do it?" Wu Xian thought to himself, feeling a headache coming on.

The God of Mechanical Creation sighed softly: "In my original world, or in the Mechanical Wasteland, perhaps it would be possible, but in the Insect Realm, even with the help of the Dao Ancestor's understanding of the Great Dao, it would be difficult to eliminate it."

Wu Xian looked surprised and uncertain. "Does that mean we can only sit and wait to die?"

“Not necessarily,” the God of Mechanical Creation pondered. “While we can’t eliminate it, we can temporarily seal off this area and postpone the crisis for a while.”

"How long will it be postponed?" Wu Xian asked.

"not sure."

"..."

Ultimately, with the combined power of the God of Mechanical Creation and the four true gods, the entire evil battlefield was sealed away. The crisis was temporarily resolved.

But everyone knows that this is a time bomb that could explode at any moment.

The true gods, concerned for the world, tore open small dimensional rifts around the battlefield of evil realms, connecting them to their own dimensions.

He also dispatched some of his powerful demon subordinates to guard the area.

Eventually, a special dimensional fusion zone was formed around this evil battlefield.

If the current order of the world is like a slowly collapsing dam, then this evil battlefield is like an anthill on that dam.

"Who exactly is pulling the strings behind the scenes?" Wu Xian wondered.

"Those powerful evil gods hiding in the shadows," the Azure Tree King said solemnly, "we only vaguely sensed their existence after we attained enlightenment."

"A true god-level evil god?" Wu Xian was secretly shocked. "Does that mean there were already true god-level evil gods before you?"

“That’s right,” Canghai Zhiya nodded and said, “Although they cannot be recognized by the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, they do possess god-level power. Perhaps they can be called demon gods.”

The Azure Tree King said with a complicated expression, "Thinking about it carefully, it's not surprising. After all, the growth and development of evil gods don't have as many harsh conditions and restrictions, and they grow up faster than us."

Over the years, many evil gods have been secretly born.

The Sky Emperor Spirit added, "I even suspect that some demon gods already existed before the upper levels were created."

“It’s not impossible.” The Azure Tree King nodded thoughtfully.

Wu Xian was filled with doubt and surprise, "Why have I never heard of the existence of these evil gods?"

“Those evil god scroll painters among you humans are essentially people who have been summoned by evil gods,” the Azure Tree King explained. “It’s just that those evil gods are very well hidden, seemingly hiding in the outer void, and rarely intervening in the current order of heaven and earth.”

Or perhaps, it was the sages who created the upper world who expelled them and isolated them to some extent?

Upon hearing this, Wu Xian couldn't help but grimace.

"In other words, as the order of the world spirals out of control in the future, we may very well have to face those evil gods?"

The four true gods exchanged glances and remained silent.

I originally thought that after the order of heaven and earth went out of control, all I had to do was face the monsters bred by those disordered forces.

I never expected to have to face those powerful demon gods.

From this perspective, the "Heaven" side really can't be destroyed so easily; it still has some value.

Or rather, we cannot directly destroy "Heaven," but must take a more gentle approach to resolve it.

In this regard, there is a special being called the God of Mechanical Creation, who can make things possible.

After all, the "Heaven" was originally built on the incomplete divine power template of the God of Mechanical Creation. As the God of Mechanical Creation grew stronger, it was naturally able to "possess" him.

The key point is the threat of evil spirits that will be faced in this process.

Judging from this crisis at least, those evil gods lurking in the shadows have begun to stir.

No, judging from the evil god scroll painters around Yaoyang City, the hand of the evil god has probably already reached in.

Throughout human history, there has never been a shortage of "evil god scroll painters".

This also shows that the evil god has never given up its covetousness of this world, and has been relentlessly searching for various opportunities.

"To be on the safe side, let's keep Jianmu here permanently," Wu Xian said thoughtfully, looking at the Azure Tree King.

After all, it can stabilize the power of heaven and earth to a certain extent, and delay things as much as it can.

“That’s what I think too,” the Azure Tree King nodded. “Speaking of which, the Jianmu tree has developed quite well under my careful care during this period. However, for some reason, there are occasional fluctuations of unknown power emanating from the Jianmu tree.”

It didn't seem like the power of the Jianmu tree itself, but rather a peculiar aura that permeated through the Jianmu tree's power.

As the one who drew the Jianmu tree, do you have any clues?
