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

Chapter 475 Corpse Ancestor - Jiang Chen
After some thought, I decided to preserve Jiang Chen's original style.

After all, it was a scroll meant to fight against the evil god. Compared to the hidden dangers and perils of Jiang Chen, the threat of the flesh and blood demon god is now clearly more serious.

The progenitor of zombies truly lives up to his name.

As soon as he began to write, and the ideas in his mind were just beginning to take shape, Wu Xian was enveloped by an ancient aura of death.

The power emanating from Jiang Chen seems to be attempting to invade Wu Xian's body in this way.

Fortunately, the God of Wealth's wealth was strong enough to temporarily ward off the corpse energy.

As the drawing continued, the power within the corpse energy also grew stronger.

At the last minute, it was clear that even the God of Wealth was starting to feel the strain.

At this point, the power of merit is needed.

Even with the protection of merit, the power from Jiang Chen was still unfazed, showing no fear of the power of merit and constantly resisting it, attempting to penetrate Wu Xian's body.

That's what makes zombies so powerful.

They are beings who are not recognized by heaven and earth, and who defy the heavens.

It is itself resisting the suppression and sanctions of various forces of heaven and earth.

Or, one could say that all kinds of forces of heaven and earth are their enemies.

In a sense, they are the same as Zhou Qi's Netherworld Demon, ignoring rules and authority. No matter who it is, any force that stands in their way will be ruthlessly eliminated by them.

Of course, Nüba is an exception.

Among the four great corpse ancestors, Nüba is the only one worthy of serious attention and respect.

The other three can all be categorized under the "devil's" table.

Ultimately, under the protection of merit, the drawing of Jiang Chen was successfully completed.

The corpse energy raging around Wu Xian seemed somewhat unwilling, and finally, under the power of the laws of heaven and earth, it merged into the painting paper, condensing and shaping into a golden scroll.

【Corpse Ancestor - Jiang Chen】

Version: Original (with gold embroidered border)

Grade: Gold Axis

Painting Spirit: ★★★
ferocity: 17
Innate Traits: Immortality, Bloodlust, Remnants of an Ancient God

"He's aggressive right from the start?" Wu Xian clicked his tongue in surprise.

Jiang Chen truly lived up to his name; he had already developed a powerful ferocity from birth.

Of course, the main reason is that the quality of the Flesh and Blood Demon God's materials is high enough; it is a god-level material in itself.

In other words, other corpse ancestors drawn later could also possess properties that are more advanced than spirituality from the outset.

It seems that high-level divine scrolls can now be made more accessible.

Although it is of a "fierce" nature, it is of a higher nature and cannot be compared with spiritual scrolls.

After the zombie scrolls became more widespread, it felt like other "lower" scrolls that were still at the "spiritual" level could be phased out.

Of course, everyone has their own area of ​​expertise.

In many specific situations, we still have to rely on other picture scroll series.

For example, the zombie scroll would definitely not be able to handle the work in the underworld.

While pondering, he summoned [Corpse Ancestor - Jiang Chen].

A dense aura of death surged from the scroll, transforming into a zombie figure shrouded in the heavy aura.

"Jiang Chen looks like this?" The God of Wealth's will expressed doubt. "Isn't that guy the remains of a Hou?"

"Have you met Jiang Chen in person?" Wu Xian asked with a smile.

"not at all."

“That works,” Wu Xian said with a smile. “I decide what my scroll looks like. It will look exactly as I say it does.”

The God of Wealth was stunned and speechless.

To be fair, this mysterious world of scroll painting doesn't seem to have any strict restrictions or standards in this regard. For example, the image of Wu Xian's natal God of Wealth is quite different from his real appearance.

But for now, it seems that it will not have any impact on his power.

It wasn't just him; the Twenty-Eight Constellations of the Dou Department were even more outrageous. A group of old men and women had turned into a bunch of handsome men and beautiful women right here.

Even the underworld gods were romanticized by Wu Xian.

Wu Xian carefully examined the graceful general before him and was quite satisfied.

After all, he didn't know what Jiang Chen looked like, so he directly borrowed the appearance of "Jiang Chen" from a certain Chinese comic in his previous life, a total crazy beauty.

Of course, compared to his image in the previous Chinese animation, the Jiang Chen in front of him is obviously more ferocious and terrifying.

Although it was just a painting spirit without consciousness or intelligence, its empty and ferocious eyes revealed a feeling that sent chills down Wu Xian's spine.

It was as if those eyes were deliberately staring at him, fierce and terrifying.

"No, no, I feel like this guy has some kind of consciousness!"

Wu Xian felt a chill run down his spine from that gaze, and a bad premonition began to form in his mind.

The God of Wealth also fell into deep thought, "Given the characteristics of zombies, this possibility cannot be ruled out."

It's important to understand that the consciousness of zombies is born from corpses, which are inanimate objects.

A special consciousness that arises where consciousness should not exist.

Under normal circumstances, the spirits depicted in the scrolls have no consciousness; they are merely projections and vessels of divine power.

However, the power of zombies cannot be judged by common sense, especially top-tier zombies like Jiang Chen.

"Little Dizi, hurry, hurry, hurry!"

Wu Xian hurriedly summoned Xiao Di Zi to conduct an in-depth investigation and confirmation.

Not long after, Xiao Dizi's ears twitched slightly, and he exclaimed in surprise, "It seems that there really is a trace of intelligence and consciousness growing and condensing, but it is still in a weak chaotic state."

"Hey Lao Wu, what new gadget have you come up with this time?"

After confirming it, Wu Xian and the God of Wealth couldn't help but feel secretly alarmed.

The good news is that Jiang Chen's intelligence and consciousness are currently in the gestation and formation stage.

The bad news is that there will always be a day when unity is born.

"It's alright," the God of Wealth reassured in a deep voice, "After all, you didn't give her any opportunity to take advantage of you during the drawing process. First, borrow her power to fight against the evil god, and then make a decision after the matter is settled."

If he behaves himself, let her stay here; if he doesn't, just destroy him.

Have faith in the wonders of this strange world.

Wu Xian understood.

Since the copyright is in his hands, he naturally has the right to completely destroy it in this world.

The most urgent task at hand is to fight against the flesh and blood demon.

Coming to my senses, I drew several authorized copies in one go and installed them in several [Scroll Master] machines. The canned meat and blood produced by Sister Jump has also been delivered over one after another.

The entire production line can be started simply by pressing a switch.

Of course, at present, the Scroll Master can only produce the silver axis version of the scroll, but even the silver axis [Jiang Chen] is enough for the club members.

Moreover, like the evil creatures of the underworld, this thing can evolve and transform on its own.

At this time, club members scattered throughout Yaoyang City were gradually summoned back to the club to receive the Silver Axis copy of Corpse Ancestor Jiang Chen.

With a massive supply of [Spirit Feeding Pills], you can directly upgrade to Silver Axis Six Stars and form combat power.

"The Ancestor of Corpses - Jiang Chen?" Du Yifan looked at the new scroll in his hand. "The ancestor of zombies?" "You're not wrong to say that," Wu Xian said, speechless. "The Bloodlust ability of this scroll is extremely effective against flesh and blood, and it can also evolve and improve by absorbing blood, just like the Netherworld Beasts."

Its combat strength is also quite formidable, belonging to the "three highs" category: high health, high defense, and high attack.

"So powerful?" The club members were both surprised and suspicious.

If someone else said that, they would definitely think it's bragging.

But the great vice president is different.

"No, no, shouldn't it be spiritual? What is this malevolent energy?" Soon someone noticed the anomaly in the new scroll.

Zhou Qi, who had just returned, was astonished upon hearing this. "What's going on? Wasn't it said that advanced-grade materials were rare? How come they're suddenly becoming commonplace?"

It's important to know that it wasn't easy for the Nether Centipede to develop its ferocity before.

However, the new scrolls released by Wu Xian immediately possessed the advanced quality of ferocity.

"I can only say that the flesh and blood demon god is still quite valuable," Wu Xian explained with a light laugh.

Creating a high-quality scroll painting is quite difficult. Not only must the concept be excellent, but the materials used in its production must also be of high quality.

Unfortunately, the flesh and blood demon god was "merciful and compassionate" and sent over such a great benefit.

Advanced zombie scrolls are bound to become widespread and ubiquitous, but such a situation is rare and difficult to replicate in the future.

"Higher properties? What are those?" Everyone was completely confused.

Wu Xian and Zhou Qi gave a brief explanation, which shocked the club members.

Although I didn't understand it very well, it sounded really impressive.

Subsequently, the club members were summoned one after another to experience the power of Jiang Chen's scroll, and they were all shocked and gasped.

"Holy crap, this aura, these numbers, this power, my ass!"

"It feels like it's not even in the same league as a regular spiritual scroll."

"Let alone silver scrolls of the same level, I'm afraid many gold scrolls might not be a match for our new scroll."

"The key is that it can also devour and evolve like a ferocious creature from the underworld."

"Hahaha, with this scroll, what's there to fear from those flesh and blood demons?"

"Quickly, quickly, upgrade the Spirit Feeding Pill to six stars! I'm going to go on a killing spree!"

Watching the club members excitedly depart, Wu Xian felt completely satisfied.

As for the issue of the development of [Jiang Chen]'s consciousness, it does not exist in the copy scroll, nor even in the authorized original.

This situation only exists in Wu Xian's "original" version.

If I'm not mistaken, the growth of this zombie consciousness should be a special force rooted in the divine image imprint.

"Where's the president?" Wu Xian looked around in confusion. "Why hasn't she come over?"

“I started my seclusion yesterday,” Zhou Qi explained. “Given the current situation, the president is quite anxious. He’s been on the front lines directing things and hasn’t had much time.”

Now that reinforcements from all sides have arrived, the president has begun to quickly devise her strategy for taking over.

Wu Xian understood.

Not only their mentor, but also Zhou Qi and Wang Xiaocong have clearly become more anxious recently.

Everyone is working quietly together to cope with this disaster.

Two days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Now, reinforcements from all sides have established positions throughout Yaoyang City, integrating into this protracted war against the evil god, and under the unified command of the association, they have set up dense defenses.

At least in Yaoyang City, apart from the infiltration point of the evil realm, the disaster situation in other areas has been brought under control.

On the other side of the dimensional rift, a frontline position has been established under the leadership of the association.

After leaving the club, Wu Xian headed straight for the front line of the dimensional rift.

Without the suppression of the [Taotie], the "tumor" over there would probably have deteriorated beyond recognition.

Along the way, the number of monsters ravaging Yaoyang City decreased significantly, and reinforcements from various forces could be seen everywhere, mostly composed of young people.

The saying goes, "Do what you are capable of."

If we really send these young people to the front lines, they'll only be cannon fodder.

As for the second front line at the infiltration point of the evil realm, it was personally guarded by Grandpa Wu Mingchang.

On the battlefield of Yaoyang City, the club members who had received the new scrolls had already begun to wreak havoc and show off everywhere.

The young people from all sides were completely stunned.

In the past two days, the giant bug and big mouth at the Peak Dojo have been fully equipped, which has greatly boosted the combat power of the Peak Dojo members and made them stand out in battle.

And with the help of various live broadcasts, it won the recognition and applause of countless people.

It is said that the number of people signing up for the petition on the official website of Shiraishi Zidlan Football Club has exceeded 10 million and is still rising rapidly.

Making money is secondary; the key is the fame and reputation gained.

The higher-ups at Dengfeng Dojo are overjoyed these days, frequently posting updates and Weibo posts on their official website and official account, along with some handsome photos of Shiraishi Qi, making him the center of attention.

In addition, the Legendary Gym performed admirably in this disaster battle, after all, Beast-type Pokémon have a great advantage in devouring flesh and blood.

Furthermore, the enhancement of bloodline power by physical strength makes the "athletes" of the Divine Beast Gym even more courageous in battle.

The performance of the Mechanical Gym was also impressive, especially the "Mechanical Ascension" maneuver, which garnered significant attention and discussion from netizens around the world.

In comparison, the other major acrobatic venues were clearly overshadowed.

Although they have produced many excellent scrolls and new items, they still cannot compare with the Peak Gym.

Today, wherever the rescue workers from Dengfeng Dojo go, they are the focus of attention, and war correspondents from various media outlets are more willing to point their cameras at the people from Dengfeng Dojo.

In short: the big bug and the big mouth ate to their hearts' content, and the audience enjoyed watching it too.

Many netizens are clamoring to watch "mukbang" (eating broadcasts) on various live streaming platforms and in live streaming rooms.

In short, the rescue team from the Peak Dojo has been incredibly impressive these past two days, walking with an air of superiority.

Not long ago, the members of the Peak Dojo, who were scattered throughout the battlefield, were gradually overshadowed by the Underworld Club.

Viewers who were originally watching mukbang videos were also drawn to the impressive scrolls displayed by the Underworld Club.

"What the hell? Such a powerful aura!"

"It's just a silver scroll, why does it possess such a powerful aura and strength?"

"Holy crap, holy crap, such a huge chunk of flesh was sucked dry in the blink of an eye?"

"Tell me this isn't true! Waaaaah, I can't believe it!"

"It looks like some kind of zombie-themed scroll painting? The kind that sucks blood."

"Wait, when did zombie-themed scrolls become this overpowered?"

"As far as I can remember, the most impressive zombie scroll painting right now is probably Bai Gongzi's Mummy series, right?"

"By the way, who are those people? Which dojo's prodigies are they?"

"They don't seem to be from the dojo; they seem to be local combatants from Yaoyang City."

"Are there such experts in Yaoyang City?"

"You guys don't understand, do you? The Yaoyang City Underworld Club is incredibly popular in our Tianfeng Province right now, with all sorts of scrolls being ridiculously strong."

"The Underworld Club? I remember now, that guy who showed off at the Mechanical Dojo Invitational Tournament!"

"Yes, yes, that's the guy~ We affectionately call him 'Wu Dog'."
