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

Chapter 503 City Lord Wu, Governor Wu

"Harmonious integration?" Wu Xian was secretly surprised.

I originally thought that after the underworld was integrated, it would only be able to absorb the power of heaven and earth from the ghost realm to a certain extent, while enjoying the nourishment of the power of heaven and earth from both sides.

Now it seems that it's not that simple.

“That’s right,” Uncle Feng Xu said solemnly. “It seems that Xian’er’s Scroll of Heaven and Earth is quite powerful. It is completely unaffected by the understanding of various other dimensions, and there is no need to build a Dimensional Gate for isolation later.”

Wu Xian clicked his tongue and nodded.

To put it simply, "Huaguo Mountain" will no longer need to be spatially isolated from the dimensional rift like other cities.

Even without isolation, the power of the three other dimensions—the Insect Realm, the Mechanical Wasteland, and the Ghost Realm—cannot penetrate this area.

We can maintain direct connectivity and coexist harmoniously in the future.

"Let's take some protective measures," Wu Xian pondered. "After all, there will be a large number of ordinary people who need to settle down in the future."

“That’s true,” Feng Xu nodded knowingly. “I’ll have the Ministry of Construction draft a plan later.”

As the two chatted and laughed, the elders from all sides could no longer hold back their laughter.

The gazes directed at Wu Xian were filled with disbelief and awe.

What defines talent? This is what talent is all about!

Looking at Wu Xian in front of him, and then at his own juniors, it's truly a case of "no comparison, no harm."

"Old Feng, you've really picked up a precious little grandson!"

The ancestors from all sides were filled with emotion; it would be a lie to say they weren't envious.

If their own younger generation had such a promising member, they would be able to die with a smile on their face, too lazy to even extend their lives.

Even the Zhao family patriarch was no exception; his eyes were practically overflowing with admiration and envy.

His gaze shifted, then he looked thoughtfully at Xue Lingling beside him.

Given the quality of Xue Lingling's two excellent scrolls, it's certain that she will return to the Realm of the Dead.

Instead of relying on Xue Lingling's relationship with Wu Xian, they should try to gain more benefits from the subsequent development of this new world.

Although they don't know much about this new area yet, these old guys can naturally see that it has huge development value.

Most importantly, this new world seems to have bypassed the control and authority of the upper world.

This is very important!
"Not bad, not bad at all, worthy of being our son-in-law of the Necromancer's Guild." The Zhao family patriarch laughed and praised him on the spot.

This scene completely stunned Xue Lingling and Wu Xian.

Even Zhao Qinghe, one of the younger members of the group, was driven to depression by it.

When the patriarch said this, it was clear that he wanted to build a good relationship with Wu Xian, which naturally put Wu Xian in an awkward position.

But this is not the point.

The key point is that this new world rooted in the human world was actually Wu Xian's creation.

That's absolutely outrageous!
Isn't it said that the human world cannot create domains? How did it suddenly become possible?

Could it be that Wu Xian has connections with higher-ups?
That's right, that must be it, otherwise there's no way to explain it.

Considering Wu Xian's mysterious identity as the second-generation rich kid of the association, perhaps it was because he was connected to the upper echelons that his identity was hidden before.

The more Zhao Qinghe thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed, and he secretly thought to himself that he was truly a genius.

But if that's the case, wouldn't that brat Xue Lingling be essentially climbing up the social ladder?
Thinking about this, Zhao Qinghe felt increasingly unwilling.

It should be noted that although the glory days of the upper echelons are over, their influence and power over all parties still exist.

Uncle Fengxu rolled his eyes as he listened, thinking to himself that the Zhao family patriarch was shameless.

However, it must be acknowledged that Wu Xian's relationship with Xue Lingling will definitely affect the relationship between the Undead Dojo and the Association in the future.

The elders from all sides understood this, and couldn't help but feel envious.

Of course, the founders of the Mechanical Dojo and the Holy Spirit Dojo are exceptions, since their families have always had a very good relationship with Wu Xian.

So, the patriarch of the Holy Spirit Dojo also started to imitate him, saying, "As expected of Elder Wu of our Holy Spirit Dojo, he really brings honor to our Holy Spirit Dojo!"

The same attempt to ingratiate oneself and build rapport yielded completely different results.

When the Zhao family patriarch tried to get close to him, Wu Xian just smiled politely and didn't bother to respond at all.

But at this moment, the patriarch of the Holy Spirit Dojo had to respond seriously, "Junior Wu Xian greets Senior Xu."

This person is the grandfather and maternal grandfather of Xu Cunxin, the eldest disciple of his direct lineage. Even according to seniority, he is his elder.

I glanced at the Book of Life and Death and found that the old man's lifespan was running out, but fortunately, he had already had a lot of his lifespan restored by the Longevity Pill.

"There's no need for formalities among family," the Xu family patriarch said with a beaming smile. "Come visit our Holy Spirit Dojo often. The younger generation down there is quite interested in your Twenty-Eight Constellations."

"I'll definitely when I have time," Wu Xian replied politely.

Such differential treatment left the Zhao family patriarch somewhat embarrassed.

But as a seasoned veteran, his thick skin has long been honed to perfection, so he naturally wouldn't lose his composure over such a small matter like a young person.

So what if you don't like me? You're still my future son-in-law from the Necropolis.

Then, the elders and leaders from all sides came up one after another to exchange pleasantries, showering Wu Xian with compliments, which made Wu Xian a little embarrassed.

Wu Xian was somewhat puzzled by the flattery of the various leaders.

It's just creating a new world, is it really necessary to fawn over him like this?
Could it be that these senior figures are also interested in the Scroll of Heaven and Earth?

His great-uncle, who was standing nearby, clearly noticed his confusion and secretly explained through telepathy, "These old bastards are cunning. Right now, this new world of yours is like a blue ocean, and they all want to get involved and invest in its development."

Upon hearing this, Wu Xian suddenly understood.

However, this matter does indeed require the assistance and cooperation of all parties.

After all, given the current vast scale of Huaguo Mountain, it's impossible for them, the Underworld Club and the people of Yaoyang City alone to develop it.

Even with the involvement of associations, it is difficult to quickly reclaim and build the land.

Moreover, this new area can't be developed in isolation, can it? It will eventually need to attract investment and bring in various stakeholders.

"Alright, I understand your little schemes," Uncle Feng Xu joked. "The most important task right now is to defeat the evil realm and the evil gods. As for the matter of this new world, we can discuss it later."

"Yes, yes, the threat of the evil god is the most important thing." The various patriarchs echoed in agreement.

While agreeing, he didn't forget to flatter Wu Xian, saying, "It won't be long before we have to address Little Wu as City Lord Wu."

"Hey~ with the scale of this new world, I guess we should call him Governor Wu."

"Yes, yes, Wu is in charge." The elders from all sides joked and laughed.

Wu Xian felt a sense of helplessness, and a touch of regret and bitterness welled up in his heart.

If Mayor Chen were still here, that would be great.

From now on, we can just hand over the administrative matters to Chen Shilong.

But now, Mayor Chen has forcibly retired, and as the creator of this new world, he can't back down even if he wants to.

"By the way, with Xiao Wu in charge, what will this new land be called? Will it be called Flower and Fruit Mountain?" The elders from all sides discussed it with great interest. "Although it's a good name, it's not quite appropriate for a province."

"Let's call it New Yaoyang City for now," Wu Xian sighed sadly.

The people of Yaoyang City present couldn't help but feel saddened. Although they couldn't fully empathize with the situation, they could understand the feelings of the people of Yaoyang City at that moment.

Humans are, after all, nostalgic.

……

Somewhere on the front line of Huaguoshan New World.

Jin Mingjie and Miao Youyou witnessed the birth of this new world.

Compared to Miao Youyou's startled and incredulous reaction, Jin Mingjie remained much calmer.

"My God, Master, why do I feel like this new world of Wu Xian has a bit of an upper-class feel to it? Is it just my imagination?" Miao Youyou was unable to calm down for a long time as she experienced the wonder of this new world.

“It can indeed be compared to the upper world,” Jin Mingjie said, looking around at the vast new world with mixed feelings, “but it is much better than I expected.”

"Do you also want to create such a brand new world in the future?" Miao Youyou's eyes sparkled.

Jin Mingjie smiled slightly, neither confirming nor denying, "It's just that some key things are still missing."

"What is that?" Miao Youyou asked, puzzled.

Jin Mingjie smiled without saying a word, a complex look flashing in his eyes.

In fact, he came to Yaoyang City for the origin of heaven and earth, but he couldn't find any clues.

Until the moment this new world rose from the ground, he clearly realized that this origin of heaven and earth was no longer his.

Or perhaps we were never meant to be together from the start.

……

Wu Xian, along with the various groups, arrived at the infiltration point of the evil realm.

The former infiltration point of the evil realm has completely stopped penetrating. It has now become a bottomless cave of flesh and blood, unable to grow and spread in all directions. In fact, under the power of heaven and earth of Flower Fruit Mountain, it is constantly showing signs of shrinking and healing.

However, the demon god is clearly still putting up a brave fight.

As for the dimensional rift, it's guarded by the Taotie, so the flesh and blood of the demon god can no longer cross it.

Even if they manage to get through, their flesh and blood will be like the "three-no-stick" (a metaphor for something that cannot be touched), unable to contaminate any plant or tree on Flower Fruit Mountain.

"It seems that the danger on our side of the human world has been basically eliminated. Now we should consider turning defense into offense."

"Yes, who would have thought that a mere scroll depicting the heavens and earth would resolve this human crisis?"

"It's all thanks to our young Wu's leadership!"

"From now on, the name of our young Wu in power will surely spread throughout the world!"

"No need for later, it's already a household name now."

Indeed, with live broadcasts from war correspondents and media outlets around the world, the news of the birth of "New Yaoyang City" had already spread far and wide.

Nowadays, battlefield live broadcasts by various media outlets are almost turning into travel live broadcast rooms.

After all, Yaoyang City now looks nothing like a "disaster area"; it's a paradise on earth, a secluded haven.

Only the dimensional rifts and the points of infiltration by the evil realm still hint at the "disaster".

People around the world are filled with curiosity about this new world.

The scenery of Huaguo Mountain is indeed magnificent, and various media outlets are enthusiastically broadcasting tourism live streams about it.

Many people from surrounding cities have already come to visit and travel here on their own initiative.

Meanwhile, netizens from all over the country, unable to fully enjoy the live stream due to limited camera angles, flocked to the [Huaguo Mountain] dungeon near the Alliance Hero Tower to experience it firsthand.

I was just a little driven crazy by the insane difficulty of Flower Fruit Mountain.

Meanwhile, in Yaoyang City, under the arrangement of Chairman Cui of the Association and Old Master Wang of the Military Department, the previously evacuated residents of Yaoyang City have been gradually brought back to this new home.

The people were saddened, but they also knew how hard-won and precious this new world was.

It's better than being homeless and living under someone else's roof.

Thus began a massive era of land reclamation in Xinyaoyang City.

At first, the people thought that this new home lacked everything, but later they discovered that this new home was far more amazing than they had imagined.

Can you believe you can grow crops directly from there?

It can grow anything, and it produces high yields on everything it grows.

For spiritual cultivators, the spiritual energy in the new home is far superior to the spiritual energy aura of the past.

In just a few days, people have already begun to notice the various benefits and advantages of this new world.

Many children from ordinary families, whose families did not have the genes for spiritual cultivation, unexpectedly awakened the ability to cultivate spiritual power after returning to their new homes. The youngest of them was only nine years old.

It should be noted that it is already quite remarkable to awaken spiritual power and cultivate abilities by the age of fifteen or sixteen.

It was at this moment that various forces and the general public gradually realized that the value of this new world was far greater than they had imagined.

Even after the news spread, many people still didn't believe it.

It wasn't until various live streams and videos were posted online that people around the world realized the value of this new land.

As a result, people from many surrounding provinces and cities began to travel long distances with their families to participate in this massive land reclamation effort.

Various forces naturally noticed this and secretly conducted verification and testing, paying increasing attention to this new world.

Especially the elders from all sides, after just a few days, all seemed reluctant to leave.

For some reason, living here is much more comfortable than living at home.

Meanwhile, Wu Xian and the club members were staring at each other on the east coast of Huaguo Mountain, unable to believe their eyes.

There was no way around it; this rock with nine orifices and eight holes looked way too damn familiar.

If a club member hadn't discovered the stone during their exploration, Wu Xian wouldn't have known, and would never have imagined, that this immortal stone could be sculpted.

After all, a domain scroll and a domain outpost are two different things.

For example, the great demons in Flower Fruit Mountain could not have been shaped by the power of heaven and earth.

Moreover, in the storyline at Flower Fruit Mountain, Monkey King had already been born, so Wu Xian hadn't even thought about it.

"What makes Monkey King so special?"

Wu Xian began to analyze and discuss the matter with the equally unbelievable God of Wealth beside him.

“We can’t rule out that possibility,” the God of Wealth analyzed. “Domain shaping cannot create living beings, but the monkey’s true form is not a living being. If I’m not mistaken, it might be related to our grandmother’s optimization and improvement.”

Wu Xian's eyes flickered slightly, expressing his deep agreement.

"Brother Xian, could this stone really give birth to our Monkey King in the future?" Du Yifan and the others asked excitedly.

“It’s not impossible.” Wu Xian frowned in deep thought.

In his view, this stone either doesn't appear at all, or if it does appear, there must be a reason for it.

However, it is highly unlikely that a scroll could be directly conceived within the scroll of heaven and earth.

"Perhaps something like the physical body of Emperor Sui?" The God of Wealth suddenly thought of something.
