518: The problem of painting scrolls and casting gods, and balancing accounts.
The Elder of the Zheng Family smiled slightly, "The old geezer from the Liang Family has been here, right?"
Wu Xian smiled without answering.
It seemed that the various noble families of the Demon God Dojo were all well aware of each other.
"A small token of respect, I hope Elder Little Wu will accept it," the Elder of the Zheng Family also offered a sub-spatial bracelet, "My Zheng Family only seeks a copy of Your Highness the Queen of the Underworld. After the matter is accomplished, there will be a generous reward."
"Easy, easy," Wu Xian accepted it happily, "This Junior has had the good fortune to be recognized by the Queen of the Underworld, so I can be considered half a member of the Demon God Dojo. I am very happy to help with such a small matter."
Seeing that things were going so smoothly, the Elder of the Zheng Family couldn't stop grinning.
After a few simple pleasantries, he snuck away.
Wu Xian glanced at the contents of the sub-spatial bracelet; it was on par with the one from the Liang Family.
He decisively pulled out his phone and did a quick search on information about the Demon God Dojo.
There were five major families in total: the Zhang Family, the Wu Family, the Liang Family, the Zheng Family, and the Yin Family.
And the Legacy of the Queen of the Underworld had always been controlled by the Zhang Family and the Wu Family.
This meant that a third windfall was beckoning to him.
But after waiting for a long time, the Elder of the Yin Family never appeared, which left Wu Xian a bit confused.
"Did I overthink it?" Wu Xian wondered, "Or is it that the people from the Yin Family did not participate in this crusade and are not present right now?"
Although a windfall had disappeared into thin air, it was a windfall he had picked up for nothing, so Wu Xian didn't really care.
"But then again, why do these major families value the Legacy of the Queen of the Underworld so much?"
While puzzled, he dialed his Maternal Great-Uncle's number.
"Moving so fast?" Maternal Great-Uncle Feng Xu seemed to have expected it, "I thought it would take two or three days to brew."
"You knew these two families would come to find me?" Wu Xian was surprised.
"It was expected," Feng Xu chuckled and explained, "The black scroll Legacy is too important to the status of the Dojo. It represents not only power but also status and identity."
"The noble families rely on the black scroll Legacy to distinguish their strength and status."
"In the past, the Legacy of the Queen of the Underworld was held by the Zhang and Wu families. Even if the Liang and Zheng families were envious, it was useless. But the appearance of you, a scroll-bearer, undoubtedly created an opportunity for them."
"I see," Wu Xian realized.
"Besides that, there is one crucial factor."
"What?"
Feng Xu smiled with narrowed eyes, "Since the appearance of the Gate of Creation, the source essence of law is no longer monopolized by the Upper Realm, so the matter of God Casting has naturally been put on the agenda by all parties."
"And a black scroll like the Queen of the Underworld that has developed self-awareness is undoubtedly among the most promising to become a True God."
"As long as the Queen of the Underworld can achieve God Casting in the future, the value of this Legacy of the Queen of the Underworld will undergo a qualitative change instantly."
Wu Xian suddenly realized, "No wonder they were so generous. So that's what it was about."
"What prices did the Liang and Zheng families offer?" Feng Xu asked.
Wu Xian explained it simply.
"Just this?" Feng Xu said with displeasure, "Isn't this bullying my little nephew because he's easy to fool? Wait a moment, I'll have a chat with them."
"Uh, this is just the deposit. There is a final payment after the matter is done," Wu Xian hurriedly added.
"Oh, I see~ That's more like it," Feng Xu was finally satisfied, "They still have some sincerity. You can rest assured and accept it; don't refuse free things."
Wu Xian nodded and smiled, then asked, "By the way, Maternal Great-Uncle, after a scroll achieves God Casting, will all the originals and copies become gods?"
"Of course not," Feng Xu explained patiently, "According to the theories of the sages, after a scroll achieves God Casting, it will detach from its scroll carrier and become an independent life form, no longer belonging to an individual."
"From a certain perspective, the Extraordinary Scroll is more like a means of nurturing a True God."
"Then what kind of changes will happen to the related scrolls?" Wu Xian asked.
"At that time, all scrolls will transform into the legendary [God scrolls], directly linked to the power of the corresponding True God, and receive direct blessing and protection from the True God's power."
"God scrolls?" Wu Xian was curious, "What do they look like?"
"I don't know, no one has ever seen one," Feng Xu spread his hands helplessly, "What exactly they look like, we'll only know when the time comes."
"Then is there still a difference in Rank and grade?" Wu Xian asked.
"Of course," Feng Xu smiled, "You can understand the True God scroll as an Incarnation of the True God's power. scrolls of different Ranks and grades correspond to Incarnations of different levels."
Wu Xian understood and continued to ask, "Listening to you, it seems that God Casting for a scroll does not mean that a single scroll transforms into a god?"
"That's right. The scroll is just an egg. After nurturing a True God, the eggshell will still be preserved," Feng Xu nodded, "But the scroll that nurtured the True God will also exist as the True God's mortal body, having direct command and dispatch rights over the True God."
"Mortal body?" Wu Xian looked strange, "Can't the True God forged by a scroll appear directly in the human world?"
"Of course not."
"Then where will they go?"
"To the Domain Outposts corresponding to their background," Feng Xu said, "At that time, the True God will establish and create their own Dojo in the relevant Domain Outposts, just like the Four Great True Gods today."
At this point, Wu Xian finally fully understood the development path of the Extraordinary Scroll.
Feng Xu continued, "Therefore, your competition with the Demon God Dojo in the future is essentially a question of where the Queen of the Underworld will settle in the future."
"I see."
In the end, it's just like having a child.
He and the Demon God Dojo are both nurturing the child [Queen of the Underworld]. Whoever gives birth to it first, the child belongs to them.
And God Casting is essentially registering the child.
It can be seen that the True God forged by a scroll is not summoning a True God from another world directly to this world, but rather registering a new account in the scroll world.
"No wonder it's trapped here," the Will of the God of Wealth pondered, "Looking at it this way, it seems like our side and the scroll world are connected, but in reality, they can never communicate?"
"As of now, yes." Wu Xian sighed helplessly.
He also understood the thoughts of the God of Wealth.
As a True God's will who accidentally descended from another world, although it had good development prospects here, it ultimately hoped to merge and connect the two accounts in the future.
At that time, it could "return home in glory" and show off in front of old colleagues and old leaders.
But from what is known so far, the two sides are like completely independent regions and servers, and they do not communicate.
"Forget it, if we can't go back, we can't go back," the God of Wealth sighed, "Becoming a saint through Karma here is the same."
After chatting with Maternal Great-Uncle Feng Xu, Wu Xian specifically went outside the Club to take a look, but did not find any sign of the Yin family.
It seems that this third windfall was not meant for him after all.
After returning to his room, he immediately started working on his own business, refining the mushrooms produced by the Great King Fungus into a large batch of Rank 4 longevity pills in one go.
Each one could provide nearly two years of Lifespan.
Then, he summoned the book of life and death》 to sort out the bad accounts of Lifespan during this period.
The Club members and Yaoyang City citizens who had been resurrected before were all hanging on by a thread with one or two months of Lifespan, and now it was time to make up for this deficiency.
Although he had misappropriated quite a lot from the Zhao family, the gap was truly too large, and the little Lifespan from the Zhao family couldn't make up for much.
"Good grief, after averaging out so many Rank 4 longevity pills, each person can only get three years and nine months of Lifespan."
So-called, you don't know until you settle the accounts; you get a shock when you do.
"How long will this take to make up?" The more Wu Xian thought about it, the more his head ached.
"I told you earlier, just let the Monkey come over and settle the accounts. Simple and brutal," the God of Wealth laughed.
"..." Wu Xian was secretly helpless, "But you also said that this bad account cannot disappear into thin air. Someone has to wipe the butt. Now that the Heavenly Court has not been built yet, will doing this affect the future establishment of the Heavenly Court?"
"Hiss~" The God of Wealth pondered, "Your worry is not unreasonable."
"So, let's just make it up slowly," Wu Xian sighed, "Anyway, the Great King Fungus is ready-made, but the current production can't keep up."
At this moment, the God of Wealth seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly transformed into the natal god of wealth scroll and appeared in front of Wu Xian, "Your words reminded me. The Heavenly Court hasn't been established here yet!"
Wu Xian was confused, "What do you mean?"
"My meaning is, the Heavenly Court doesn't exist at all," the God of Wealth's eyes shone, "The lower-level bad accounts are the responsibility of the upper-level to wipe the butt, but now this world has no Jade Emperor, and no Heavenly Court system and order."
Wu Xian was stunned for a long time, and seemed to understand something. A strange light appeared in his eyes.
A moment later, Wu Xian and the God of Wealth looked at each other and looked up at the sky at the same time.
"Is your deduction reliable?" Wu Xian was inexplicably excited.
"Rest assured, absolutely no problem!" The God of Wealth was enthusiastic, "Whoever is the leader covers the bottom. Our leader hasn't taken office yet, so this bill will naturally be counted on the current leader."
Hearing this, Wu Xian's breathing gradually quickened.
That's right, they suddenly realized that this bad debt could not be counted on the future Heavenly Court order at all.
How can the bad debts of the previous dynasty be counted on the future new dynasty?
In other words, the bad debts that Brother Monkey settles later are very likely to be directly counted on the "Heaven" of the Upper Realm. As for how "Heaven" will wipe out this debt, that's none of our business.
Thinking of this, Wu Xian even felt eager to try.
Originally, he wanted to rely on the Great King Fungus to slowly work and produce milk to pay off the debt. After realizing this, not taking the opportunity to make a profit would be letting himself down, and letting down Brother Monkey's subsequent five-hundred-year prison sentence.
At this moment, Wu Xian's reverence for Brother Monkey had reached its peak.
He immediately closed his eyes and felt the current accumulation of otherworld energy in [Flower Fruit Mountain], and he could soon start the next stage of the plot.
Early the next morning, the Club members and staff had just started work.
Wu Xian couldn't wait to issue a call in the group, urging them to collect otherworld energy for [Flower Fruit Mountain], and let the Underworld Outpost make relevant drills and preparations.
Times are different now.
When Brother Monkey went to the East Sea last time, Flower Fruit Mountain had not yet been shaped, and the Four Seas Dragon Palace had not yet merged into the New Heaven and Earth of Flower Fruit Mountain.
But now, the Underworld Outpost has been integrated into this new world.
Therefore, when Brother Monkey goes to the Underworld, he is likely to appear directly at the Underworld Outpost.
Although everyone is an old acquaintance of Brother Monkey, the necessary procedures must still be followed. At that time, Wu Xian will go down personally, cosplaying King Qinguang, and then hand the book of life and death》 to Brother Monkey to play with.
The plan is perfect!
As for the war in the Flesh and Blood Abyss, there hasn't been much movement from the Evil God side. It has completely fallen into a state of giving up, and the coalition forces basically have no pressure.
Moreover, the moment the New Heaven and Earth of [Flower Fruit Mountain] was born, the Flesh and Blood Abyss was destined to be unable to invade again.
The future will also be a long tug-of-war. You can occasionally go over to punch the clock and lend a hand, no need to pay too much attention, unless the Evil God starts to counterattack or makes some big moves.
Time flew by, and two days passed.
The land reclamation and construction of New Yaoyang City were still in full swing.
And the otherworld energy of the Flower Fruit Mountain Domain, thanks to the overtime efforts of the Club members, reached the conditions for starting the next stage of the plot.
Here, special thanks to the Eerie Domain and the Endless Sea for their generous sponsorship.
For the opening of the next stage of Flower Fruit Mountain, these two great otherworlds also provided a lot of heaven and earth power.
Early in the morning, the Club members who were concerned about Brother Monkey's growth had gathered and were full of expectations.
Master also took time out of her busy schedule to witness this historic moment together.
"Haha, is everyone ready?" Wu Xian looked around at everyone with a big laugh.
"Don't worry~ The script and lines are all memorized," Du Yifan and others gestured, "But then again, will releasing water like this really not affect the development of our Underworld Outpost?"
Wu Xian waved his hand and smiled, "Don't worry, Brother Monkey is smart."
Master was full of curiosity, "Are you sure Brother Monkey will descend on the Underworld Outpost?"
"Nine times out of ten." Wu Xian analyzed rigorously.
After all, the key prop book of life and death》 is still in his hands, and the Netherworld Domain copy doesn't have this thing.
And the key plot of Brother Monkey going to the underworld is to modify the book of life and death.
So only by descending on the Underworld Outpost can he possibly come into contact with the book of life and death》, and the plot can move forward.
Of course, this is just his current speculation.
How the subsequent plot will be pushed, and how the flower fruit mountain instance will operate, are still unknowns.
Everything will be handled according to the situation.
"Are you ready?" Wu Xian took a deep breath and spoke solemnly.
The Club members looked at each other and nodded one after another.
Wu Xian stopped talking nonsense, and with the power of the heaven and earth origin, he activated and opened the next stage of the flower fruit mountain instance.
Buzz~!
The space at the entrance of the flower fruit mountain instance in front of him became restless, and the space vortex swirled rapidly.
"My go, what's going on?" The Club members exclaimed.
Wu Xian was also shocked by the scene in front of him.
Just by opening the next stage of the instance, the power of heaven and earth in the entire New Heaven and Earth of Flower Fruit Mountain began to become restless, and a series of mysterious heaven and earth phenomena began to appear above the Club.
"Holy crap, it is, it is..." Du Yifan and others rushed out to check at the first time, and reported back in disbelief, "It seems to be the phantom of our Underworld Outpost."
"What?"
Wu Xian exclaimed in surprise and flew out to check.
I saw that above the sky of the Underworld Club, rosy clouds lingered, Yin Qi permeated, and it communicated and outlined a projection from the Underworld Outpost, just like a mirage.
"Is it really going to descend on the Underworld Outpost?" Wu Xian was secretly excited.
But what the hell is this projection phenomenon of the Underworld Outpost in front of me?
Is this a live broadcast?
