277: Listen carefully

Chapter 277: Di Ting

“Strange images?” Wu Xian was baffled. “How strange?”

Du Yifan stammered, organizing his words. “I don’t know how to describe it. It’s definitely not a scene from our human world; it’s more like a scene from another dimension.”

“Otherworldly scene?” Wu Xian was surprised.

“Hey, hey, hey, over there ~ it appeared again!” Du Yifan pointed not far away. “And it vanished in an instant.”

Afterward, Wu Xian asked Du Yifan to describe it in detail, and the more Wu Xian listened, the stranger it became. “Similar to a Dimensional Mirage?”

“Almost,” Du Yifan said, “but it’s more like the perspective of otherworldly monsters observing us during a Dimensional Mirage, appearing and disappearing intermittently.”

Hearing Du Yifan’s explanation, Wu Xian became even more curious.

Could it be a materialized manifestation of dimensional erosion?

After some thought, he communicated with the city god in the City God Temple through the divine scroll.

Then, using the city god’s power, a special vision that only Du Yifan could see appeared before his eyes.

In Yaoyang City, there were wandering human Souls everywhere, aimless and without a destination.

Some wandering Souls, due to the long time without guidance, were almost completely dissipating into the world.

But that wasn’t the point; the point was those peculiar “Dimensional Mirage” images.

After observing for a moment, the situation Du Yifan described vaguely appeared not far away.

A scene seemingly from another dimension flashed by, and some unsettling monsters and landscapes could vaguely be seen, but it didn’t look like a scene from the Mysterious Abyss, nor a scene from the Zerg dimension.

It was different from all the otherworldly scenes he currently knew.

“Interesting. Could it be that some new dimension is slowly infiltrating?”

However, ever since the disaster a thousand years ago, all the dimensions that could invade had basically done so, and there had been no news of any completely new dimensions arriving late.

Afterward, Wu Xian specifically went to Earth God Temple Farm to observe.

As he expected, these strange phenomena also appeared around the Earth God Temple, though much less frequently.

He called Mayor Chen Shilong to discuss it, but Chen Shilong was also completely at a loss, having no clue.

But Wu Xian was not in a hurry.

After returning to the small villa in North District, he single-mindedly began to create his first Jade scroll... Provincial capital, Dongfeng City.

With the update of the Three Gods Version, there was now a constant undercurrent in the provincial capital.

As a spokesperson for the Upper Realm masters, Chairman Wang of the Divine Dog Club felt this especially strongly.

He could clearly feel that their Wang Family’s “appeal” to all sectors of society had weakened. Although various Family forces still feared the Wang Family and gave them Face, it was clearly not like before.

Especially the Wang Family of the Ink Jade Bamboo Forest, they seemed to be considering collecting rent for the Ink Jade Bamboo Forest Cultivate cabins.

It was obvious that the Wang Family had likely become associated with one of the “Three Gods.”

Fortunately, the Upper Realm was still the Upper Realm, and its rule remained strong.

Moreover, from the information the master had previously revealed, the Upper Realm was already taking steps to deal with the so-called Three Gods.

And what their Wang Family needed to do was to obediently work for the master and, by the way, find a way to bring that kid Wu Xian under their wing.

“Damn it, how did they manage to create the Farm?”

This was also what he understood the least and what bothered him the most.

Logically, without “technical assistance” from the Upper Realm, it would be very difficult for Scroll Masters in the Lower Realm to create Cultivate soil.

He originally wanted to discuss this with several major grain merchants in the province but found that these grain merchants were all looking distressed.

“What’s wrong? Why are you all so distressed? It can’t be that you’ve been impacted by the small amount of grain exported from Yaoyang City, can it?” Wang Zhi’s expression was strange.

“Chairman Wang, you don’t know, but our several Farms are almost driven crazy by the recent rat plague.”

“Rat plague?” Wang Zhi was stunned.

He had recently heard that rat plagues were appearing all over the country. Those ordinary rats that originally lived in the human world were now mutating into monsters, causing a considerable impact on the lives of ordinary people.

“Do you have any good methods to deal with the rat plague? As long as it can be solved, the price is negotiable, and we will definitely cooperate fully with you in the future.”

Wang Zhi frowned and thought for a moment. “A small rat plague is nothing to fear. I’ll talk to the Miao Family from the neighboring Ziyang Province later.”

Although their Wang Family and the Miao Family didn’t get along well, at a time like this, they would still stand on the same front.

“The Miao Family?” The major grain merchants were overjoyed.

As they spoke, several small teams that had been sent out returned defeated, which made Wang Zhi dumbfounded.

“What? So many people couldn’t even get a data core?”

“Your Excellency Chairman, it’s not that we’re incapable; it’s just that the otherworldly monsters’ offensive was too fierce. We almost died there.”

“Ah?”

...Yaoyang City, North District.

Wu Xian was unhurried, meticulously carving every step.

Don’t mention it ~ this divine power fragment seemed to also enhance the connection with the corresponding True God.

He originally thought that this Underworld Divine Dog’s status was too high, and it would be difficult to reach even with incense offerings, but he didn’t expect the conception to be so easy.

It could only be said that this divine power fragment was indeed compatible with the Underworld Divine Dog.

Unconsciously, the scroll imprint in his mind had taken shape, and the scroll under his brush had also reached its final stage of drawing.

The Laws of Heaven and Earth circulated and converged, signaling the birth of this extraordinary scroll.

“Damn it, who is disturbing this venerable one’s sleep?”

The sudden voice in his mind made Wu Xian’s heart skip a beat.

What’s going on?

Could it be that, like Sister Tiao and Yu Boling, he had connected to the summons of the True God, Di Ting?

“May I ask if Your Excellency is Di Ting, the Underworld Divine Dog under Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?” Wu Xian suppressed his inner excitement and asked with his mind.

“Who is speaking? Where is this venerable one? It’s over, it’s over. Was this venerable one killed by those two humans?”

...Wu Xian’s forehead darkened.

Amidst his disappointment, he was both surprised and doubtful.

So, after all that, it was the lingering consciousness of that eerie man?

Hadn’t that guy been completely absolved? How could his consciousness still remain in the divine power fragment?

“Hmm ~ it seems the power of Heaven and Earth is reshaping this venerable one. Could it be the great Lord of the Abyss, the Eerie Domain God of Death? Haha, I knew I followed the right person! Great Lord of the Abyss, your subordinate has important information to report!”

As the eerie man mumbled to himself in Wu Xian’s mind, black lines appeared on Wu Xian’s forehead.

At the same time, the Laws of Heaven and Earth that formed the scroll had also surged forth.

A jade-green scroll axis slowly condensed, and golden threads adorned it into a scroll.

Looking at the jade-axis scroll slowly falling into his hand, Wu Xian was still in a deep state of bewilderment and confusion.

The good news was that he had obtained a unique scroll with consciousness; the bad news was that this consciousness was not quite right.

The final result was fine, but this result had a slight, unexpected flaw.

After some internal struggle, he slowly unfolded it and summoned the Di Ting painting spirit.

Bathed in divine light and auspicious glow, an Auspicious Beast “big white dog” with a tiger’s head, a lion’s tail, a single horn on its head, and Qilin’s four feet condensed into being. It was neither Dragon nor tiger, neither lion nor dog, with a strange appearance yet somehow harmoniously proportioned.

Nine-colored Qi circulated around its body, majestic and extraordinary, truly the image of a Divine Beast and Auspicious Beast.

However, after seeing the situation before it, a bewildered and stiff expression appeared on its amiable Face, and then it spoke profanities: “Great... I’ll go... What’s going on?

It’s you, you detestable human! You, you... what did you do to this venerable one?”
