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

Chapter 492 A Large Number of Ancient Scrolls Appear

"Nonsense, is this what your Archangel of Justice looks like?" the elder of the Divine Capital Dojo said irritably.

"What if she got plastic surgery by an evil god?" Elder Bai glanced at him and chuckled. "It's still better than you just making up a female angel out of thin air, isn't it?"

"..." The elder of the Divine Capital Dojo snorted, "How could His Highness Gabriel be a being that can be fabricated at will?"

“Wait a minute, when did your Divine Capital Dojo get a female angel?” Other dojos also raised questions. “I think Elder Bai is right. Don’t assume that just because you see a scroll in the form of an angel, it’s yours.”

"Yes, yes, I also think that this angel is the transformed divine beast of our Divine Beast Gym."

"What kind of transformed divine beast? It's clearly our Holy Spirit Dojo's angel, the Holy Spirit!"

As the various parties arrived one after another, they all spoke in unison, clearly focused on this black scroll of remnant spirit.

The key is that the Divine Capital Dojo does not actually have such a black scroll, at least not on the surface.

This was also the most awkward part for everyone at the Divine Capital Dojo. Their Prince Gabriel, as a hidden black scroll, was known only to the inner high-level members. He had been sitting in the Angel Temple for hundreds of years and had never revealed himself to outsiders.

Unexpectedly, I encountered the remnant spirit of Prince Gabriel in the New Abyss.

Like the Queen of the Underworld at the Demon God Dojo, the remnant spirit of Gabriel before us was clearly also a victim of the evil god during the Cataclysmic Era.

At that time, Prince Gabriel's most valuable possession was a gold scroll.

The fact that they can now display the aura of black scrolls is entirely due to the efforts of generations of people at the Shinto Dojo.

"If you want to interfere, just say so. There's no need for these excuses!"

As soon as the elder of the Divine Capital Taoist Temple unleashed his aura, a Nine-Star Jade Scroll Angel appeared beside him, displaying an unprecedentedly powerful aura, clearly ready to fight to the death for it.

This surprised the elders from all sides.

Judging from the reaction of the elder of the Shen Du Dojo, it doesn't seem like he's lying.

Could it be that the Divine Capital Dojo really has such a hidden black scroll that's kept under wraps?
So what if we have it?

Everyone competes fairly; whoever has the ability gets the prize.

"Heh, Old Liu, do you really think we're afraid of your pathetic birdman?" The leaders of each side displayed their imposing aura and clashed with the people from the Divine Capital Dojo.

Wu Xian, watching from afar, was utterly shocked.

Gabriel? It's Archangel Gabriel!

Moreover, judging from what the Shen Du Dojo said, they seem to have been hiding a black scroll of Gabriel's lineage.

Goodness, so this is the golden age?
Previously, he had no concept of the glory and prosperity of the Golden Age, but now that he saw the remnant spirit of Gabriel appear, he immediately grasped the meaning.

His intuition told him that during that golden age, a number of extraordinary scrolls from his previous life on Earth may have emerged.

However, the vast majority perished in that catastrophe.

The key point is that the Divine Capital Dojo actually has the Black Scroll of Gabriel, which shows that the nine dojos are indeed very well-established.

"Come on, little rascal, let's go join the fun!" Jump Sister exclaimed excitedly. "I want to forge a mechanical angel to play with!"

"..."

Although Wu Xian was somewhat speechless, he still followed.

After all, he was also eager to see the legendary Gabriel.

At this moment, all sides were locked in fierce fighting over the remnants of Gabriel's spirit, especially the members of the Divine Capital Dojo, who were fighting like madmen, which really shocked all the teams.

"No, are you guys really that serious?"

Seeing the reckless attitude of the elder of the Divine Capital Martial Arts Academy, the powerful figures from all sides were somewhat apprehensive.

After all, they are still very afraid of dying.

Although this remnant of an angel is very valuable, it's not worth risking one's life for.

But the people at the Divine Capital Dojo were different; they were truly fighting for their lives!

Especially those young men from powerful families, they were all covered in blood, yet they were still desperately trying to stop the experts from all sides.

"We've already said, this is the remnant spirit of Prince Gabriel. Anyone who dares to lay a finger on it will have to step over our dead bodies!"

The elder leader of the Shen Du Dojo had a ferocious look on his face, as if he was about to fight the group to the death.

Upon arriving and seeing this, Sister Jump calmed down, "What's wrong with the people from the Divine Capital Dojo? Are they all out of their minds?"

"Perhaps His Highness Gabriel is very important to them," Wu Xian said with a smirk.

He certainly knew Gabriel's position among the angels.

At least before Michael appeared, Gabriel was the most outstanding being among the angels.

From a certain perspective, Gabriel is practically a figure of faith to the members of the Divine Capital Dojo.

Christianity, well, its beliefs have always been quite extreme.

In fact, apart from Taoism in China, the beliefs of other religious and mythological systems on Earth in my previous life were quite extreme.

Judging from the current performance of the people at the Divine Capital Dojo, they're already getting the hang of it.

"Even if it's important, it doesn't have to be like this, does it?" Jump Sister said, unable to understand. "Look at the way they look at each of them, they're like they're possessed."

"Perhaps for them, dying to protect Prince Gabriel is an honor?" Wu Xian calmly analyzed. "Moreover, as far as I know, Angel Scroll should be quite good at resurrection."

"Resurrection? Like your underworld?" Jump Sister asked in surprise.

"More or less." Wu Xian nodded.

"No wonder." Jumping Sister clicked her tongue and nodded.

With the Shen Du Dojo currently in such a frenzy, people from all sides are gradually losing interest in competing for it.

The other party is risking their life, why are you still fighting with them for it?
However, the angel scrolls from the Divine Capital Dojo were somewhat outmatched by Gabriel's remnant spirit puppet.

Moreover, due to their inner awe and worship, the members of the Divine Capital Dojo felt somewhat restrained when besieging Gabriel's remnant spirit.

Although they also displayed some other types of light-themed scrolls to deal with the situation, they were ultimately no match for the remnant spirit of Gabriel.

In this situation, everyone involved was somewhat speechless.

Why not let others get involved when you clearly can't win?
Just as Wu Xian was pondering whether or not to ask the Corpse Ancestor to make a move, several powerful auras at the level of black scrolls appeared one after another in various parts of the Blood and Flesh World.

For a moment, all the teams were both surprised and suspicious.

The entire battlefield instantly descended into chaos.

Each team rushed towards the scroll puppet that was related to them, as if each was looking for its own mother.

Wu Xian stood there in disbelief, looking around at the black scrolls and remnants of spirits, his heart unable to calm down for a long time.

With just a quick glance, he recognized many elements of the remnants of the scroll.

For example, the Peak Gym is chasing and besieging the Moon Goddess, the Demon Gym is chasing Hermes, the Necromancer Gym is chasing Orochi, and the Holy Spirit Gym is chasing Hela...

In addition, there are powerful beings that do not belong to the previous mythological system.

In short, at this moment, all parties involved had completely gone into a frenzy, forgetting their goals and mission.

Only Wu Xian, the Mechanical Dojo, and Jin Mingjie remained relatively calm.

Seeing everyone so carried away, Wu Xian felt a sense of helplessness.

In his view, he could probably not count on these people, and he would have to rely on himself to rescue Mayor Chen.

Thus, while everyone was driven mad by the remnants of the ancient scroll, Wu Xian, along with the members of the Mechanical Dojo and Jin Mingjie, had already set off towards the core of the Evil Realm. Using swarms of corpse beetles and scarabs to clear a path, they marched straight to the heart of the enemy.

"Thank you for your help, Brother Jin," Wu Xian said to Jin Mingjie. "Let me know if you need anything in the future."

"You're too kind," Jin Mingjie waved his hand and smiled. "Speaking of which, Brother Wu's scroll depicting a rooster crowing is of great benefit to me. It can be released later to unleash even greater power for me."

"The Pleiades Star Lord, huh?" Wu Xian chuckled softly, "Easy to say!"

Looking at Miao Youyou on the side, it's clear that she has already obtained the remnant spirit of the Cat God - Bastet. With the guidance of Jin Mingjie, the true god who possessed her body, repairing it is naturally not difficult at all.

What surprised Wu Xian even more was that the true god power within Jin Mingjie's body also greatly benefited the Cat God's repair.

It's important to understand that a scroll is ultimately just a scroll; it cannot directly borrow the power of the relevant deities.

Even if the Cat God is related to the God of Ra, it can only affect the construction of the divine image at most, and cannot directly affect the Cat God's scroll carrier.

To put it bluntly, extraordinary scrolls can only be forged through spiritual matter and spiritual structures.

Just like the will of the God of Wealth, it can only improve and optimize Wu Xian's series of divine diagram laws and patterns, but cannot directly participate in the production of the scroll.

Moreover, it's someone else's scroll-making process.

Therefore, Jin Mingjie's current situation is somewhat contrary to common sense.

"Brother Jin's power can directly intervene in the creation of the scroll?" Wu Xian asked curiously.

Jin Mingjie chuckled and nodded, "My situation is rather special, so of course, the effect of intervention is limited."

Wu Xian clicked his tongue in amazement.

The body possessed by the true god was indeed quite different from those who were called by the true god.

"What does the God of Wealth think?" Wu Xian secretly discussed with the God of Wealth.

“That makes sense,” the God of Wealth analyzed. “After possession, it’s no longer just a matter of will descending. Judging from this person’s situation, the power of that god of lair has also descended upon this world to some extent.”

It's quite reasonable that power could be used as material for a scroll painting.

Wu Xian nodded slightly.

To put it bluntly, a normal true god's will only manifests here in consciousness; their power doesn't come directly.

Take the God of Wealth for example. The power he can control and manipulate here comes entirely from Wu Xian's natal God of Wealth scroll, or rather, the divine diagram and laws of his natal God of Wealth.

But Jin Mingjie was different. After the possession, the power of the God of La seemed to be directly transferred into Jin Mingjie's body through some means.

It's like a force that doesn't belong to this world.

Given Ra's status, it's reasonable that his divine power could be used as material in the form of spiritual matter.

rustling...

The carrion beetle swarms and scarab beetle swarms are still digging.

Soon after, Miao Youyou opened her eyes with a sigh of relief. The remnant spirit of the cat god beside her had been successfully repaired and transformed into a genuine golden scroll cat god.

However, since it was just repaired, its rating is only around three stars.

This is when the power of the [Spirit Feeding Pill] becomes apparent.

Since they were there to assist him, Wu Xian naturally didn't mind providing some Spirit Feeding Pills for free.

As a result, the newly repaired Golden Scroll Cat God was immediately promoted to Golden Scroll Six-Star and displayed extremely strong power and energy fluctuations.

"Thank you very much, Brother Wu." Miao Youyou expressed his gratitude in an affected manner.

"Of course," Wu Xian waved his hand dismissively, then casually asked, "Speaking of which, what version of this scroll fragment is it after it's been repaired?"

“It is naturally the original.” Miao Youyou said with a smile.

Wu Xian understood; after all, it was public domain copyright, so the original version was definitely unlikely.

"What about the copyright of the divine image?" Wu Xian pressed further.

“It has already been projected and imprinted into my sea of ​​consciousness from the endless void of laws,” Miao Youyou, who is also a scroll artist, naturally understands Wu Xian’s curiosity. “If there is no second cat god, then you will be the temporary holder of this copyright.”

Upon hearing this, Wu Xian completely understood the workings of the remnant spirit in the scroll.

“However, Brother Wu’s remnant spirit of the Queen of the Underworld is rather special,” Miao Youyou added. “As a black scroll of the Demon God Dojo, the Queen of the Underworld’s copyright mark has been completely preserved by the Demon God’s Domain.”

Wu Xian nodded and smiled, naturally understanding what Miao Youyou meant.

Theoretically speaking, as long as he can repair and further improve the Queen of the Underworld, he can directly obtain the original copyright of the Queen of the Underworld from the Demon God's Realm.

Unless the original creator were to come back to life, which is clearly unlikely.

As he spoke, Jin Mingjie's expression suddenly turned serious. "They should be here soon."

Xiao Dizi had also detected the aura of the evil realm and excitedly exclaimed, "Found it! Mayor Chen's aura is inside, but..."

"But what?" Wu Xian hurriedly asked.

“Although he is still alive, his body and spirit have been destroyed,” Xiao Dizi said sadly, “only his remaining consciousness remains.”

"..."

Wu Xian took a deep breath and fell silent.

Meanwhile, Sister Jump was furious. "That damned demon god, I will grind him to dust one day!"

"Please accept my condolences," the God of Wealth sighed softly, trying to comfort him. "As long as there is still a trace of consciousness left, there is always a glimmer of hope."

But there is only a sliver of hope for resurrection.

The destruction of form and spirit means that both the physical body and the soul have been destroyed, and the subconsciousness has only been forcibly imprisoned by the evil god.

This situation is beyond the control of the underworld.

Even if Grandma Feng Li completely perfects the Goddess Nuwa, it may not be able to bring Chen Shilong back to life.

It's only possible if Grandma's goddess Nuwa can become a true god in this world.

But even if the remaining consciousness is forcibly sealed, it will eventually continue to dissipate.

Whether Chen Shilong's consciousness can last until that day remains to be seen.

Alternatively, merit could be used to reshape Chen Shilong's soul, but such a heaven-defying operation would inevitably require a massive amount of merit.

He currently lacks that level of merit.

“I can help this person’s lingering resentment slow down its dissipation, and even allow it to survive in another way,” Corpse Ancestor Jiang Chen said coldly, “but it requires his heartfelt cooperation.”

Upon hearing this, hope rekindled in Wu Xian's eyes.

Zombies can develop consciousness that shouldn't exist, so they can naturally help Chen Shilong's lingering resentment turn the tide.

But the price is that Chen Shilong will become a zombie, doomed to eternal damnation, never to be reincarnated.

"Then I'll leave it to the Corpse Ancestor!"

Wu Xian took a deep breath, a murderous intent surging in his eyes.

So be it, zombies or not. At least it will allow Chen Shilong to remain, instead of completely disappearing from this world.

boom!
Amidst the dense swarm of corpse beetles and scarabs, a hollow gap quickly appeared, and an eerie aura of the evil realm rushed towards them.

The parasites of the association's parasite elders can no longer venture here, except for the Corpse Beetle Elder, who, with the help of the Corpse Ancestor, can still reproduce and multiply here.
