Chapter 271: City God Temple

Indeed, after the video connected, Tattoo Bro and Xu Lu’s figures could still be seen.

“How is it, Disciple? What do you think of Tattoo Bro’s human Domain Scroll art?” Wu Xian teased.

“It’s truly miraculous,” Xu Cunxin couldn’t hide her astonishment, “When I first saw it yesterday, I almost thought an Upper Realm person had come down.”

“Upper Realm person?” Wu Xian was surprised.

Xu Cunxin explained, “This situation of integrating scroll power into oneself is quite similar to the Cultivation methods of the Upper Realm, but now that I understand it, it’s clearly not quite the same as the Upper Realm.”

“Oh, oh,” Wu Xian smiled knowingly, “I have a question I’d like to ask you.”

Hearing this, Xu Cunxin couldn’t help but feel a little apprehensive, “It is my honor to help you with your doubts.”

“It’s like this,” Wu Xian pondered, organizing his words, “There’s one thing I’ve always wondered about. All the major Otherworld can be integrated and shaped by Domain Scrolls, so why can’t the dimension where we humans reside?”

“Are you referring to Domain Scrolls that developed by relying on the Laws of Heaven and Earth in the human world?” Xu Cunxin asked hesitantly.

“Exactly.”

“That’s probably not possible,” Xu Cunxin mused.

“Why?”

“It’s most likely related to the Upper Realm,” Xu Cunxin sighed lightly, “The Upper Realm controls the last pure land of the human world, and it seems to have also imposed a certain degree of blockade and restrictions on the Laws of Heaven and Earth in the human world.”

“I see,” Wu Xian suddenly understood.

So, it turns out the Upper Realm had sealed and monopolized it with special means all along?

No wonder only they could establish so many new cities.

And Yaoyang City, as one of the original cities established before the “monopoly,” naturally wasn’t valued by the Upper Realm.

But looking at it from another perspective, weren’t these original cities like Yaoyang City equivalent to having their own “licenses and permits”?

Given this, starting with 【Yaoyang City】 was undoubtedly a good way to bypass the Upper Realm’s monopoly restrictions.

After ending the call with Xu Cunxin, he immediately immersed himself in the drawing of the City God Temple.

In short, he would first fill Yaoyang City with Earth God Temples and City God Temples.

After a day and a night of effort.

Finally, by noon the next day, the drawing of the 【City God Temple】 was completed.

Unlike the Sea of Consciousness imprint of the Earth God Temple, while the City God Temple also formed points of incense and faith light around the periphery of the Sea of Consciousness, it also condensed the city god’s scroll imprint within the six bureau meritocrats System of the 【Netherworld Divine scroll】.

At this point, after the Ten Yama Generals, only the two from the 【Reincarnation Department】 remained in the higher-level six bureau meritocrats.

The beautiful girl version of Meng Po had also already received the enthusiastic sponsorship of pure-hearted college girl Xiao Yu.

But there was no rush for now; he would wait until Xiao Yu’s father arrived... Holding the City God Temple scroll, he went out to find a suitable location for it in the city.

Unlike the Earth God Temple, which had a farm function and was suitable for placement in deserted rural areas, the City God Temple was more suitable for placement in bustling urban areas.

He contacted Mayor Chen Shilong, asking him to scout and plan some locations and land in advance for the subsequent placement of City God Temples.

After much thought, Wu Xian decided to place his 【original】 City God Temple on the land near the Club.

This area already belonged to the Underworld Club, so there was no need to inform anyone.

Buzz~!

The exquisite City God Temple model ascended into the air, rapidly enlarging and gradually merging with the aura of Yaoyang City’s Heaven and Earth scroll.

The surging power inevitably attracted some members of the Club to come out and watch.

The City God Temple slowly landed, looking at first glance like an ancient county yamen, with two stone lions at the entrance and an Yin Official in Netherworld official robes enshrined inside.

“It doesn’t feel like there are any special changes?”

Wu Xian curiously investigated the surroundings, and there was no purification effect on the land like with the Earth God Temple.

However, he could clearly feel a peculiar energy field forming around the City God Temple, though he didn’t know what it was for.

Above the City God Temple, the city god’s phantom slowly condensed, bowing to Wu Xian from a distance.

The Club members who came to watch the excitement marveled. Although they didn’t understand it, they knew that anything from the Vice President must be extraordinary.

“What a strange feeling,” Du Yifan said curiously, “It’s like a temple from our Netherworld series.”

“Exactly,” Wu Xian nodded with a smile, “In the future, burn incense and worship it whenever you have time, and I guarantee you a long life.”

“Really? Then I must worship it properly,” Du Yifan said excitedly, about to enter the temple to worship.

But as soon as Du Yifan approached the City God Temple, he was enveloped by its power, forming a peculiar imprint that merged into Du Yifan’s Soul Sea of Consciousness.

At this scene, everyone present was dumbfounded.

“What’s going on?” Wu Xian quickly asked, “What just happened?”

“It’s like some kind of Soul contract has been formed with me,” Du Yifan carefully felt the imprint in his Sea of Consciousness, “It gives me authority over some Yin world affairs in the surrounding urban areas.”

Wu Xian was slightly stunned. He hadn’t expected the City God Temple scroll to have such a function.

It seemed to be a direct bestowal of a Netherworld official function and authority upon Du Yifan himself.

In other words, Du Yifan was directly appointed to a position in the Netherworld System.

“My goodness, where did all these strange beings come from?” Du Yifan’s gaze shifted, as if he saw something, “No, those don’t seem to be strange beings? They’re the Souls of our human beings.”

The others nearby were confused, “What Souls? Where are they? Why can’t we see them?”

“There~ there~ there~, so many, can’t you see them?” Du Yifan asked, puzzled.

Everyone looked at each other, shaking their heads blankly.

Wu Xian, however, gradually understood, and patted Du Yifan’s shoulder earnestly, “Work hard, you are now a subordinate of the city god in our human world.”

“Ah?” Du Yifan was both surprised and delighted.

“It’s similar to your Defense Force work, but specifically responsible for handling Yin world affairs,” Wu Xian smiled, “Just guide those human Souls to our Underworld Outpost.”

Du Yifan’s expression was peculiar, and he immediately released Black and White Impermanence to hook and guide the Souls.

Indeed, those human Souls wandering in Yaoyang City obediently followed him.

Seeing this, other Club members went to worship the City God Temple, but unfortunately, they did not receive that kind of “power bestowal.”

However, as these Club members worshipped the City God Temple, the operation of the natal god of wealth’s wealth Qi in the ethereal seemed to change.

This discovery filled Wu Xian with both surprise and joy.

“Little Li, try making a gacha wish to the City God Temple again. You decide what you want to draw,” Wu Xian reminded him.

New member Little Li looked bewildered, then burned incense and worshipped while making a wish.

A moment later, he pulled out his phone to draw cards. A ten-pull hit the target perfectly.

“My goodness~ I really did draw the Ghost King Yin General?”

Seeing this, the other members were both surprised and delighted, and all began to make wishes to the city god. Afterward, they basically all drew their desired scrolls.

Of course, the wishes made at the City God Temple were only effective for the Netherworld series gacha pool.

But this situation subtly sparked an idea in Wu Xian.

“Tsk~ If only the gacha System could be combined with the City God Temple, then would we still worry about the City God Temple not having incense?”

The more Wu Xian thought about it, the more excited he became.

If it were in his previous life, such an absurd operation would naturally be unrealistic.

But this was a world of extraordinary scrolls, where anything was possible.

If the God of Wealth’s Qi operation could subtly affect the gacha probabilities in the virtual network, then combining the gacha System with the City God Temple was also feasible.

After all, the virtual network of this world was originally built upon scrolls.

As Luck would have it, the virtual network of this world was controlled by the Mechanical Dojo, which was a major reason why the Mechanical Dojo, despite being relatively weak, could still rank among the Nine Great Academies.
