278: I am a lord of level 42!

Chapter 278: This Lord is a dignified Level 42 Lord!

The dog frantically checked his condition, darting to a mirror to look at himself.

After a brief moment of existential doubt, he began to jump around the room.

"Where's the door? Let this Lord out!"

...Wu Xian's forehead was lined with black, and with a slight thought, he manipulated the scroll.

Thankfully, the control was still in his hands.

And so, a strange scene unfolded.

The Great White Dog Di Ting's gaze and consciousness were going elsewhere, but his body honestly walked towards Wu Xian, his mouth filled with panicked curses, "You hateful human, what have you done to this Lord? Release this Lord at once!

Don't kneel, dead leg~ Who told you to lie down?

What are you doing? Don't touch this Lord's dog head!"

Wu Xian gently stroked the Great White Dog Di Ting's dog head, finding the feel quite pleasant. "Xiao Dizi, I said, haven't you made enough fuss?"

"What did you call this Lord?" From Di Ting's adorably clumsy dog mouth came a startled voice, "This Lord is the Underworld Death Dragon Lion, a Level 42 Great Lord of the Eerie Domain, under the great Abyssal Demon Lord!"

"I'm sorry, that whatchamacallit Dragon Lion is dead. You are now my scroll, Di Ting."

"What a joke! How could this Lord die?"

Di Ting's tone grew weaker and weaker as he spoke, the lingering image of being 'transcended' by Wu Xian still vivid in his mind.

Although he was arrogant, he also knew the principle that one must bow one's head when under another's roof. He accepted reality while assessing his own situation.

"Di Ting? What a terrible name. Change it~ Change it, this Lord doesn't like it!"

"The full name is Netherworld Divine Dog - Di Ting."

"Oh, that sounds acceptable," the Great White Dog Di Ting gradually calmed down. "Strange, this Lord is clearly still alive and well, so how did I become your human scroll?"

As a Lord-level shapeshifting Twisted Creature, he had a good understanding of human transcendent scrolls.

He knew that his Divine Core could be transformed into a human transcendent scroll, but that should only be possible after his death.

Moreover, once transformed into a scroll, it usually had nothing to do with his original self.

"I know! You humans must be conducting some monstrous experiment on this Lord, despicable—!" Di Ting began to bare his teeth at Wu Xian.

Unfortunately, with a single look from Wu Xian, he immediately stuck out his tongue and wagged his tail.

"You even know about the Upper Realm people's monster experiments?" Wu Xian couldn't help but become interested.

"Hmph! Of course this Lord knows," Di Ting snorted, "I was captured and taken to your Research Institute back then. Fortunately, this Lord was blessed with great fortune and managed to escape."

Wu Xian was a little stunned by this.

So, this powerful creature from another realm was also connected to the Upper Realm Research Institute?

He then explained the difference between Upper Realm people and Lower Realm people to him.

Who would have thought that Di Ting's next sentence would completely stun him?

"Of course this Lord knows about that so-called Upper Realm, but in this Lord's opinion, you humans are essentially all the same," Di Ting sneered mockingly, "If you were put up there, you'd be even more ruthless than them!"

Wu Xian heard this and was not angered, but merely fell into contemplation.

Perhaps there was never a distinction between Upper Realm people and Lower Realm people in this world, only between people and people.

A hero who defeats a Dragon might, in the end, become a new Dragon.

Many Lower Realm people today are not necessarily Lower Realm people, but merely haven't become Upper Realm people yet.

"You, Xiao Dizi, actually have some thoughts," Wu Xian teased playfully, "It wouldn't be bad to keep you by my side to amuse me in the future."

...Di Ting looked indignant, "Despicable! If you have the guts, kill me—!"

"Alright, it's your good fortune to retain consciousness within Di Ting, so don't be greedy after getting a good deal." Wu Xian stood up impatiently. "Let's go~ It's a good time to test your abilities."

"This Lord is a dignified Level 42 Lord, isn't he stronger than this broken dog you created?" Di Ting grumbled.

"Broken dog?" Wu Xian's eyes were playful: "You should be secretly delighted!"

With that, he lifted the restriction between this consciousness and Di Ting's power; otherwise, in his previous state, he would probably have attacked his creator immediately.

"Huh? I was wondering why I had no power at all. So you were holding it all in your hand."

Feeling the power of the painting spirit body of the scroll, "Di Ting" obediently followed Wu Xian out, carefully experiencing it.

"Damn it, you made this Lord's Law Veins so complicated? Do you even understand it yourself?

How much better it was when it was simple? Aren't you just messing around?"

Then, "Di Ting" began to seriously experience the power within that complex Law framework. At first, he even wanted to laugh, thinking that such a chaotic Law framework was purely random and meaningless.

Later, however, he became more and more alarmed, and more and more incredulous.

The entire Law framework was logically self-consistent, orderly, and not a single Law Veins was superfluous or just for show.

Eventually, he was completely speechless, falling into a state of "true fragrance."

From the perspective of their otherworldly Holy Spirits, the Law framework Wu Xian had now created for him was like presenting his ultimate, most perfect future form as a reference answer.

Unfortunately, he was no longer a free Twisted Creature, but a wisp of residual consciousness imprisoned within a scroll.

This human has something special.

At this moment, Wu Xian also inadvertently fell into complex thoughts.

His current situation with "Di Ting" was not unlike a microcosm of the Upper Realm and the Wang Family, was it?

The difference was that the Upper Realm's "transformation" of the Wang Family was intentional, while the appearance of "Di Ting" was purely accidental.

If possible, he absolutely did not want to retain the consciousness of that gloomy man.

After all, for him, it made no difference whether Di Ting had this consciousness or not.

Its only value was that it could help him with some "management."

The moment the scroll was formed, Wu Xian immediately checked the status of this "consciousness." It was directly imprinted within the Law framework of the divine power fragment, and now it was integrated with Di Ting's divine scroll imprint, making it impossible to remove.

"How does it feel?" Wu Xian asked with a smile.

"It's alright, this Lord can barely accept it," Di Ting said, feigning aloofness, "It's a pity that your human painting spirit has too many restrictions. If it were still a Eerie Domain creature body, that would be great."

Wu Xian mused, "Speaking of which, are you different from other Eerie Domain creatures?"

"What do you mean?" Di Ting asked, puzzled.

"Don't you find it strange? Logically, you shouldn't have been able to retain this consciousness, and I didn't perform any extra operations during the drawing process."

Hearing this, Di Ting also fell into deep thought, "Could it be because this Lord is blessed by destiny?"

"Blessed by destiny?"

Di Ting proudly raised his dog head: "You might be scared to death if I tell you, but three years ago this Lord was just an insignificant little Twisted Creature. However, I was born with boundless luck, and I just kept getting stronger until I became a Lord-level big shot.

If I hadn't fallen into your hands, I reckon I would have soon reached the King level under the cultivation of the Abyssal Demon Lord."

...Wu Xian was secretly alarmed.

It seemed his guess was correct; this "Twisted Creature" was indeed somewhat unique.

The problem should lie with him.

As they spoke, he stepped on his Flying Sword and landed at the entrance of the Underworld Club, while Di Ting, surrounded by "Nine Qi," landed steadily beside Wu Xian.

Seeing Wu Xian bring this Great White Dog scroll over, the Club members were naturally curious, and each respectfully greeted Wu Xian.

"You're doing pretty well, aren't you?" Di Ting was surprised. "Are all these humans your subordinates?"

"Something like that."

Wu Xian ignored Di Ting's curious demeanor, ignoring everything, and directly teleported him to the Underworld Outpost.

Since such a strange thing had happened, he naturally had to consult Second Sister-in-law, who was also a great demon from another realm.
