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

Chapter 497 A Grain of Dust

A terrifying divine aura descended upon the new abyss, causing the flesh and blood of the flesh-and-blood demon god to tremble and convulse.

Even the overall framework of the evil realm showed signs of breaking.

It's important to understand that the Mechanical God Realm and the Holy Spirit God Realm are not ordinary god realms these days.

With one being under the protection of a true god and the other being integrated with the Twenty-Eight Constellations, the overall structure of the divine realm has been optimized and integrated to the extreme.

The immense power and might of heaven and earth are no longer comparable to what they were before.

In particular, the ancient starry sky stretched out by the Seven Mansions of the White Tiger terrified the evil god.

"What? How is this possible..."

The incredulous voice of the demon god echoed through the chaotic evil realm.

Although I had already suffered a similar blow at the dimensional rift before.

But the feeling right now is completely different from before.

The framework of his painstakingly constructed evil realm appeared incredibly fragile in the face of the power of those two divine domains. If it weren't for that trace of the origin of heaven and earth supporting him, his evil realm would likely have been crushed on the spot by the power of those two divine domains.

"Impossible. How could the method conceived by those people back then possess such power?"

At this moment, the demon god seemed to fall into a state of self-doubt.

When he was banished, the Divine Realm was still just a theoretical framework and had not yet been built.

But now, a thousand years later, the "divine realm" that those people dreamed of back then seems to have truly come true.

In particular, the White Tiger Holy Spirit summoned by the Seven Constellations of the White Tiger possessed power that was beyond his comprehension.

At the same time as he was shocked, the White Tiger Holy Spirit and the World-Destroying Divine Light simultaneously bombarded the pillar of light heading towards the point of penetration of the Evil Realm.

boom! boom!
The pillar of flesh and light seemed to have suffered some kind of severe blow, instantly dimming and stopping.

The entire abyss of flesh and blood began to tremble violently, as if the endless flesh and blood filling the abyss had lost some kind of support in an instant.

Meanwhile, Wu Xian and his group had already jumped into the flesh-and-blood tunnel dug by the corpse beetles and scarabs, and evacuated the scene.

"That was... the power of the Four Saints?"

The Corpse Ancestor was clearly shocked by the aura of the White Tiger Seven Constellations.

“That’s right.” Wu Xian nodded slightly.

"This world is truly mysterious and wondrous," General Jiang Chen, the Corpse Ancestor, remarked, seemingly lost in thought.

The God of Wealth expressed his deep empathy for this.

In his view, even the gods and Buddhas from the Heavenly Court would be completely bewildered by the mysteries of this world and question their very existence.

"Wait, why are there also the auras of the Four Saints ahead?" Corpse Ancestor Jiang Chen looked ahead in surprise.

"Really?" Wu Xian was secretly surprised.

After all, so far, only he can control the power of the Four Heavenly Spirits.

If we had to put it into words, the strong members of the Holy Spirit Dojo can also, to some extent, invoke and borrow the power of the Four Spirits of Heaven.

Could it be that Xu Cunxin has arrived with the main force of the Holy Spirit Dojo?

The next second, the endless flesh and blood in front suddenly exploded, blasting many corpse beetles away.

Old Master Wu Mingchang was like a terrifying cannonball piercing through flesh and blood, forcing his way in from the other side of the flesh and blood. The extremely compressed spiritual power around him outlined a phantom image of a white tiger.

Like a tiger breaking free from its cage.

The key point is that the old man's tiger-shaped spirit image has actually begun to show some of the aura of a "white tiger".

Clearly, the old man has made a significant breakthrough in his understanding of the White Tiger Scroll concept.

The already powerful old man became even more powerful with the blessing of the White Tiger Spirit Elephant.

Even the Corpse Ancestor Jiang Chen was quite shocked by the old man's power.

Jin Mingjie and Miao Youyou were also quite frightened, especially Jin Mingjie, whose eyes were full of disbelief as he looked at the old man, with a mixture of complexity and fear in them.

"Grandpa, what brings you here?" Wu Xian asked in surprise.

"The power of the evil realm suddenly began to stir, and I vaguely sensed the fluctuation of Xian'er's power. I thought you had encountered trouble."

Seeing that his grandson was safe and sound, Wu Mingchang's terrifying aura gradually subsided.

"My grandson is fine, but that evil god is in for a rough time," Wu Xian joked, then his expression suddenly turned sad. "It's a pity about Mayor Chen..."

Upon hearing this, a hint of regret flashed in the old man's eyes. "Let's go back and talk about it later."

Soon after, under the old man's strong leadership, the evil infiltration point was successfully withdrawn back to Yaoyang City.

At the infiltration point, all sides were on high alert, including many club members who were shocked and curious to see Wu Xian return.

"Where are the other parties? Why are there only you?" the old man asked, his brows furrowed.

"It's a long story," Wu Xian shook his head and sighed, "They should be able to withdraw normally from the front lines."

After Wu Xian's brief explanation, the old man's expression turned strange.

"The remnants of an ancient scroll?"

“That’s right,” Wu Xian nodded. “Those people from all sides are like madmen, scrambling for things inside. But right now, the Demon God’s power is waning and it’s starting to go berserk, so the people from all sides probably can’t stay here any longer.”

“I see,” the old man said with a strange expression. “No wonder those old guys from all sides have been rushing over there these past two days, as if they couldn’t wait to storm in.”

So, the Abyss of Flesh and Blood has now become a treasure trove?

Wu Xian nodded and smiled, "At least for all the forces involved, yes."

"By the way, what's the situation now?" Wu Xian asked seriously.

"Everything is fine," the old man said, "but there's a bit of trouble at the front. The fungal demon you cultivated is purifying the evil power in its own way, giving rise to many evil mushroom monsters. All the major forces are currently there suppressing the evil monsters."

In addition, that little girl from the Holy Spirit Dojo has arrived and is currently suppressing the rebellion on the front lines alongside the Xue family girl.

"A strange mushroom monster?" Wu Xian was secretly surprised.

After asking around, I finally understood what had happened.

In the words of some club members present: "The King Mushroom has now become the focus of attention for people all over the world."

With the help of associations and various media outlets, the reputation and status of the giant fungus among humans have been elevated to almost unbelievable heights.

Although Wu Xian was quite curious about the situation there, he had something more important to do right now.

Soon after, Jump Sister led the members of the Mechanical Gym back to the main battlefield of the Mechanical Gym.

Jin Mingjie and Miao Youyou also rushed to the front line with great enthusiasm.

"That little guy seems a bit off."

The old man frowned as he watched Jin Mingjie's departing figure, lost in thought.

“Brother Jin’s situation is indeed quite special; he is a being possessed by the will of a true god,” Wu Xian explained.

"No wonder."

Wu Mingchang suddenly realized, but a hint of doubt remained in his eyes.

After exchanging a few brief pleasantries with the old man, Wu Xian immediately headed to the various temples throughout Yaoyang City to search for and collect the city's primordial essence. Land God Temple Farm No. 1.

The Land Temple Farm, which once helped Yaoyang City solve its food crisis, now serves as the rear base for the Demon God Gym.

Wu Xian's sudden appearance inevitably surprised and aroused curiosity among the crowd at the Demon God Dojo.

At the same time, a powerful mental force also locked onto Wu Xian.

"..." Wu Xian frowned slightly.

It's clearly their own territory, yet they still have to accept the Demon God Dojo's inspection and surveillance. It's disgusting.

On his way to the No. 1 Earth God Temple, two figures, one old and one young, blocked Wu Xian's path.

"Brother Wu, long time no see~ Didn't you go deep into the abyss with the main force?"

"Brother Zhang?" Wu Xian was slightly taken aback. "Why are you here too?"

Indeed, the young man in front of them was Zhang Yao, whom they had met at the Mechanical Dojo Invitational Tournament, the one who drew the prototype of Apollo.

This person was not seen in the previous Demon God Gym team, so he must have arrived later.

“I was held up by something earlier,” Zhang Yao said familiarly. “How could such an important event be complete without me, Zhang Yao? It’s a pity I arrived a little late and missed the right time.”

After saying that, he enthusiastically introduced the old man to the side, "Grandpa, this is Wu Xian, whom I have mentioned to you many times."

"Hello, young man, I am Zhang Heng," the old man squinted at Wu Xian, seemingly quite interested in him. "I am also an old acquaintance of your great-uncle."

Wu Xian bowed politely and clasped his hands in a gesture of respect to his elders.

Zhang Yao couldn't help but say with great interest, "I never expected this! It turns out Brother Wu is a member of the association. When I first heard this news, I thought I had misheard."

Wu Xian smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything more.

Wu Xian always felt a little guilty when facing this senior elder of the Demon God Dojo.

After all, the remnant spirit of the Queen of the Underworld is still in his hands, but fortunately, the Demon God Dojo is unaware of this for the time being.

"Old Man Tingfeng revealed that there seem to be quite a few puppets made of ancient scrolls inside the abyss. I wonder if that's true or not?" Old Man Zhang Heng asked with great interest. "Speaking of which, didn't our group come out with you, young friend?"

“Indeed, a large number of ancient scroll puppets have appeared, and all the teams are scrambling for them,” Wu Xian explained. “However, the situation inside the abyss is quite chaotic right now, and all the teams should be on their way out.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Heng's aged face could not hide his joy. "Has any of the lost remnant spirits of my Demon God Dojo appeared?"

"I think so, but I didn't pay attention to the specifics. After that, we parted ways with all parties and focused all our efforts on rescuing the mayor."

Zhang Heng nodded knowingly, without suspecting anything.

Upon learning that the various teams were also on their way back, the grandfather and grandson could no longer contain their excitement and prepared to head to the front lines to meet them.

"By the way, Brother Wu, what brings you here all of a sudden?" Zhang Yao asked abruptly. "Is there some difficulty that requires the assistance of my Demon God Dojo?"

"No, not at all," Wu Xian shook his head and smiled, pointing towards the Earth God Temple. "Right now, the infiltration of the evil realm is intensifying, so I came to maintain and check on the Earth God Temple."

Upon hearing this, the grandfather and grandson immediately became interested.

All parties naturally noticed the peculiarity of these temple scrolls in Yaoyang City. Today, these pure lands in Yaoyang City, untouched by bloodshed, are entirely supported by these unique temple scrolls.

"I must say, Brother Wu's temple scroll is truly remarkable; it actually withstood the invasion of the evil realm." Zhang Yao exclaimed in amazement. "Moreover, the form of this scroll is simply unheard of and unseen before."

"This special scroll was created by chance," Wu Xian said, half-concealingly, "originally intended to improve the land in Yaoyang City and plant some food crops."

Elder Zhang Heng could not hide his admiration. “Young friend, this scroll is indeed unique and has great potential for promotion. Let’s talk about it later. My Demon God Dojo would also like to import a batch.”

"No problem, no problem," Wu Xian replied politely.

Fortunately, the grandfather and grandson were preoccupied with the remnants of the ancient scroll and did not pay much attention to the local temple.

Soon after, the grandfather and grandson left excitedly, and Wu Xian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He strode over to the Earth God Temple and probed around for a long time, but couldn't sense any aura of the origin of heaven and earth.

All I can say is that Mayor Chen has been keeping things very well hidden.

The key is that such an amazing thing as the origin of heaven and earth was hidden in his scroll, yet he was completely unaware of it.

Logically speaking, after the origin of heaven and earth is integrated into the scroll of the Earth God Temple, his divine image should definitely have a reaction.

Therefore, this source of heaven and earth was not directly integrated into the earth god temple, but was hidden in some corner of the earth god temple.

This is when the benefits of owning a dog become apparent.

"Come on, Little Dizi, show some spirit!"

After Xiao Dizi appeared, he immediately began to listen and investigate.

After a moment, he wondered to himself, "Was we deceived by Mayor Chen? Or has the very essence of heaven and earth been stolen?"

"Even you can't detect it?" Wu Xian's heart tightened.

Good heavens, could it really have been stolen?
Suddenly remembering something, he slapped his forehead and said, "How could I have forgotten about this?"

Then, with a slight thought, he summoned the spirit of the Earth God painting inside the Earth God Temple.

Although the spirits depicted in the Earth God temples don't have much self-awareness, they can be considered to have some "intelligence" thanks to the incense offerings.

After Wu Xian's description, the Earth God suddenly understood. He then took a speck of dust from the food and miscellaneous items offered by the many believers in the Earth God Temple and handed it to Wu Xian.

"..."

Wu Xian and Xiao Dizi stood there dumbfounded, while the God of Wealth, unable to contain his bewilderment, appeared beside them.

Three pairs of eyes were fixed on a tiny speck of dust in front of them, so small that it was almost invisible without close inspection.

"Hey, Earth God, are you sure?" the God of Wealth asked incredulously.
The Earth God nodded and said, "Mayor Chen once came to pray for the people and gave a grain of dust to me to be enshrined in the temple. He said it came from a grain of dust that originally came from Yaoyang City."

Upon hearing this, the two people and the dog stared at each other even more intently.

Judging from this statement, the so-called power in Yaoyang City must be nothing more than this speck of dust.

The problem is, no matter how they investigate and sense it, it is just an ordinary grain of dust, without any power.

"Mayor Chen isn't joking with us, is he?" Xiao Dizi asked with a strange expression. "But isn't this joke going a bit too far?"

According to the local earth god, there does seem to be an invisible force that has been secretly helping him maintain the order of the surrounding world.

"No, no, we must be opening it wrong."

With a confident expression, Wu Xian pulled out the domain scroll of [Huaguo Mountain] while his brain was working at high speed.

Does it mean we have to be integrated into the scroll of the Heaven and Earth Painting?

Then, using spiritual power, he manipulated that speck of dust, slowly bringing it closer to the domain scroll of the Flower and Fruit Mountain scroll.

Then a magical scene happened.

That single speck of dust actually merged into the domain scroll, transforming into an invisible force that integrated into the framework of the power of heaven and earth within the domain scroll.

There is no change in the aura of the divine image and the scroll.

I could only vaguely feel that the Flower and Fruit Mountain scroll in my hand had become a little heavier.

"Is this the origin of heaven and earth?" Wu Xian looked at the God of Wealth beside him in disbelief.

The God of Wealth looked embarrassed, with an equally incredulous expression. "Don't look at me like that, I've never seen anything like this before either. Logically, it shouldn't be like this. Perhaps the origin of this world is rather special?"
