523: NPC Taibai Jinxing in the dungeon

Chapter 523: copy NPC - Grand White Golden Star

And judging from the God of Wealth's reaction, he clearly hadn't heard of the saying 'Zi Shu Kai Tian'.

From this, it can also be seen that the world where the Will of the God of Wealth resides leans more towards the Journey to the West and Investiture of the Gods backgrounds that are well-known in later generations.

As the saying goes, to study Chinese mythology, Journey to the West and Investiture of the Gods are two insurmountable mountains.

Thinking of this, Wu Xian couldn't help but ask indirectly, "Speaking of which, who created heaven in your world?"

"Naturally, Great God Pangu created heaven," the God of Wealth said without hesitation.

Wu Xian understood.

It must be said that the concepts of creation and heaven-opening are undoubtedly excellent questions for confirming the mythological background.

As long as it's clear who opened heaven, the mythological background can immediately be confirmed.

Since Pangu opened heaven in the God of Wealth's world, it clearly leans more towards the mythological background of the Investiture of the Gods, because in the worldview of Journey to the West, it was Lao Jun who opened heaven.

However, the God of Wealth's next sentence completely bewildered him.

"But there are also other theories, such as Azure Dragon opening heaven, Ying Long creating the world, Tai Yi opening heaven, Hao Tian creating things, Dao Ancestor opening heaven, the Three Pure Ones creating the world, Nuwa opening heaven, Fuxi opening heaven, and so on; it's truly a matter of widespread debate," the God of Wealth added, "And I, for my part, believe more in the Pangu opening heaven theory."

"No... huh? You..." Wu Xian was completely stunned. "Aren't you a mythological figure? In your Heavenly Court, can the creation of heaven and earth have different versions?"

The God of Wealth smiled slightly and said meaningfully, "Well, this involves the struggle of Dao traditions, and it's not easy to explain to you in detail. In short, it's quite troublesome."

"This, this, this..." Wu Xian found it inconceivable. "So, in your world, all legends of creation exist simultaneously?"

"That's one way to understand it."

"Then which one is true?" Wu Xian asked, puzzled.

"There is no distinction between true and false; all the Great Gods are supreme beings within their respective Dao traditions," the God of Wealth said mysteriously, "So the point is not who opened heaven, but who do you believe in?

Whomever you believe in, you are following their Dao tradition."

Wu Xian became more and more confused the more he thought about it. "This, this, this... is it reasonable?"

"It's normal to not understand," the God of Wealth said, "After all, human thinking and divine thinking are two different concepts. When you merge with me in the future and attain godhood, you will understand what I am saying today."

Wu Xian was still completely bewildered and couldn't understand.

This led him to have a belly full of confusion about the God of Wealth's world.

He even began to doubt the authenticity of the God of Wealth.

Could it be as the God of Wealth said, that a Mortal's mind and thinking cannot yet comprehend the world he described?

"Eh~ can it be understood as a multiverse?" Wu Xian suddenly thought of something.

"Yes," the God of Wealth pondered, "But this concept is still a bit too one-sided. I don't know how to describe it to you specifically. Forget it, you'll naturally understand when we merge in the future."

"Alright then."

Wu Xian shook his head helplessly, but a storm had already raged in his heart.

He originally thought the scroll world was chaotic and absurd enough, but he didn't expect the world of the Will of the God of Wealth to be even more absurd.

Perhaps a Mortal's perspective and thinking can never truly understand the world of gods?

Snapping back to reality, the group had already arrived in front of the Water Curtain Cave.

Monkey Brother was training and playing with a group of monkey descendants.

"Little Master, the little benefactors are here." Monkey Brother joyfully greeted them.

"Is Monkey Brother... training soldiers?" Wu Xian asked in surprise.

Monkey Brother chuckled and nodded, "I saw that the Netherworld has many Netherworld Soldiers, which looks quite impressive. Since the children are idle anyway, why not train them to show the might of my Flower Fruit Mountain."

Wu Xian was speechless and was about to inquire further, but Monkey Brother had already triggered the next part of the plot.

"Oh right, Little Master, yesterday an old official came to find I, Old Sun," Monkey Brother suddenly said, "He said he thought I, Old Sun, was incredibly capable and talented, and wanted me to go to heaven to serve. What do you think, Little Master?"

"Grand White Golden Star has been here?"

Wu Xian was slightly startled, realizing that the flow of time in the copy was different from the outside.

"He was a very amiable old official, always smiling," Monkey Brother said with a laugh.

... Wu Xian quickly reminded him, "Don't keep calling him 'old official' in the future. Show some respect and call him 'old immortal.' Don't be fooled by his kind face and smiles; he's not to be trifled with if he really gets serious."

Monkey Brother nodded obediently, "Since Little Master says so, I, Old Sun, will naturally keep it in mind."

"As for going to heaven to serve, you definitely have to go," Wu Xian said with a squinting smile.

"But that Stable Master isn't a good job," Monkey Brother said with a hint of resentment. "That Old Jade Emperor thinks I, Old Sun, am uncultured, but I, Old Sun, have studied and traveled in the human world for many years, alright?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Xian couldn't help but be a little confused.

That's right~ Monkey Brother had studied and traveled in the Mortal world, a thoroughly cultured monkey.

How could he not know what a Stable Master does?

"As the saying goes, even a small official is still an official," Wu Xian chuckled, "The key isn't the size of the position, but the opportunity."

"Opportunity?" Monkey Brother asked, puzzled.

"You should know, there are many good things in the Heavenly Court, hmhm~!" Wu Xian hinted wildly.

The intelligent Monkey Brother immediately understood, "Little Master is right, I, Old Sun, was being too narrow-minded. When that old immortal comes tomorrow, I, Old Sun, will immediately go to heaven with him to take up the post."

"That's excellent." Wu Xian nodded with satisfaction.

At the same time, he noticed a key point: Grand White Golden Star would come to Flower Fruit Mountain tomorrow.

This meant that he would be able to see the legendary Grand White Golden Star in the Flower Fruit Mountain copy.

Although it definitely wasn't the real Grand White Golden Star, it was still rare to see the Grand White Golden Star NPC in the copy.

All this time, besides monkeys, there were only various monsters on Flower Fruit Mountain, and no other immortals were seen at all.

When Monkey Brother went to seek a master, he just disappeared for a period of time and no one knew what he experienced.

Now that he could finally see some new faces, he naturally had to stake out the place properly.

So, he immediately led the Club members to stay in Flower Fruit Mountain, blending in with the monkey troop of Flower Fruit Mountain, patiently waiting for Grand White Golden Star's arrival tomorrow.

"God of Wealth, what do you think the Grand White Golden Star in the copy looks like?" Wu Xian couldn't help but anticipate.

... The God of Wealth said grumpily, "You're asking me about the Domain copy you drew yourself?"

"Uh, you mean Grand White Golden Star will look like how I imagine him?"

"Otherwise?"

"Alright." Wu Xian smiled awkwardly.

After all, Flower Fruit Mountain was his creation, and all the background concepts and plot outlines were constructed by him.

Therefore, all people and things appearing in the Flower Fruit Mountain copy were generated based on his thoughts and subconscious.

"By the way, is Grand White Golden Star very powerful?" Wu Xian asked curiously.

"Of course, he's much fiercer than me in a fight," the God of Wealth said without hesitation. "However, that old fellow is amiable and doesn't like to fight, getting along well with all parties in the Heavenly Court."

Wu Xian nodded with a 'tsk tsk' sound. After all, he was a Martial God who primarily dealt with warfare among the Nine Luminaries; he was by no means as simple as he appeared.

Speaking of which, the two painting spirit remnants left by Mayor Chen were still in his possession.

Is it possible that the copy materials dropped by Grand White Golden Star could repair the two Yaoyang Divine Guard remnants?

But if Grand White Golden Star is the copy BOSS, it doesn't seem easy to defeat him.

Time passed quickly in the copy.

Before they knew it, day had turned into night, and it was the next day.

Wu Xian and the Club members waited near the Water Curtain Cave with great anticipation for the old immortal's arrival.

Soon after, an amiable old man with a flowing white beard arrived on a cloud, smiling as he exchanged greetings with Monkey Brother.

"Is that the envoy sent by the Heavenly Realm to recruit our Monkey Brother?" Xue Qingyang and the others were excited. "He looks quite amiable."

"He seems easy to bully," Du Yifan mused.

"If we kill this old immortal, I feel like we could get some really good copy materials."

Right now, they were pushing the plot, so it wasn't convenient to fight Grand White Golden Star.

But when the sixth-tier Flower Fruit Mountain opens later, they won't need to follow the plot and can completely treat Grand White Golden Star as a BOSS to conquer.

"Easy to bully?" Wu Xian shook his head with a bitter smile. "If you think that, you're too naive."

"What, that old man is very strong?" Xue Qingyang asked in surprise.

"Not just very strong, even if it's just a spirit body condensed from a Tier 6 copy, it's not easy to defeat him," Wu Xian explained. "You can think of this old immortal as an old generation War God from the Heavenly Realm who has now retired behind the scenes."

"War God?" Du Yifan and the others exclaimed in surprise. "That old man?"

The crowd really couldn't connect that old man with the flowing white beard to the words 'War God'.

Meanwhile, Wu Xian was pondering a serious question.

"God of Wealth, do you think the consciousness of Grand White Golden Star here is related to the Grand White Golden Star in your world?"

Speaking of which, Wu Xian had always been curious about the consciousness of copy characters.

Not just Grand White Golden Star's consciousness, but also Monkey Brother's and the consciousness of the great demons of Flower Fruit Mountain.

"There's no connection," the God of Wealth analyzed, "It's more like a virtual, pseudo-consciousness in an illusion, but subtly related to the hidden power of Grand White Golden Star in this world, which makes this world mysteriously unusual."

"Can we farm him as a BOSS later?" Wu Xian asked tentatively.

"Of course," the God of Wealth said enthusiastically, "I also want to stretch my muscles with that old fellow."

"Are you confident?" Wu Xian's eyes lit up slightly.

The God of Wealth said confidently, "He's not Grand White Golden Star himself, just a spirit body condensed from a copy. What's more, our current combat lineup is so luxurious; just the Four Great Corpse Ancestors alone will be enough for him to handle."

Upon hearing this, Wu Xian's eyes brightened instantly.

Although Grand White Golden Star was strong, the cards in his hand were not bad either.

Especially the Four Great Corpse Ancestors he recently created, who were not only extremely impressive but also had all the advantages of time, place, and people, developing faster than each other.

And when the fight breaks out, Monkey Brother will definitely stand with them.

What to do? He was already a little impatient.

The only troublesome thing was that the Tier 5 Flower Fruit Mountain copy required a lot of otherworldly energy, which was not easy to accumulate.

Also, if it wasn't for pushing the plot, there shouldn't be a need to frantically devour the Eerie Domain... uh... the heaven and earth power of the Netherworld.

"No, after this promotion, I can directly open a Tier 6 copy!"

Wu Xian suddenly thought of something.

The next Tier 6 copy would inevitably be the stage where Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals come to suppress Flower Fruit Mountain.

At that time, not only Grand White Golden Star, but also those old friends and colleagues from the Heavenly Court could be farmed as BOSSes, and it wouldn't even affect the plot progression; it would be a convenient thing to do.

While Wu Xian was excitedly envisioning, Monkey Brother had already followed Grand White Golden Star in his "Ascension," disappearing into the blue sky and white clouds.

Before leaving, Monkey Brother didn't forget to look back at Wu Xian and the others.

And with Monkey Brother's Ascension to his post in heaven, the Flower Fruit Mountain copy also experienced drastic changes in heaven and earth. The entire copy space began to blur and dissipate, and faintly, a scene of Monkey Brother returning from the Heavenly Court seemed to appear.

The next second, the group was teleported back to the Club copy hall.

At this point, the Flower Fruit Mountain Domain officially upgraded from five stars to six stars.

At the same time, this New Heaven and Earth of Flower Fruit Mountain also exhibited a violent surge of heaven and earth power, shrouded in auspicious light and swirling with immortal mist.

The entire New Heaven and Earth of Flower Fruit Mountain was bathed in a magnificent heaven and earth phenomenon.

After the phenomenon, the terrain of the New Heaven and Earth of Flower Fruit Mountain did not change much, but its overall territorial scale expanded significantly. These expanded areas were clearly no longer within Flower Fruit Mountain.

Instead, they were territories derived and expanded based on Old Madams name's optimization.

In addition, the Spiritual Qi in the New Heaven and Earth of Flower Fruit Mountain was also a bit denser than before.

Various Immortal Plants and immortal fruits began to grow, further advancing on the path of becoming a blessed land.

The Netherworld projection above the Club had long since dissipated.

The various onlookers naturally witnessed the transformation and promotion of this new heaven and earth.

Feeling the denser Spiritual Qi in the air and the magnificent heaven and earth phenomenon, they were all momentarily lost in thought.

Wu Xian felt the changes in the New Heaven and Earth of Flower Fruit Mountain through the heaven and earth origin.

"Good heavens, this wave directly borders several neighboring brother cities."

No, no, to some extent, it seems to have encompassed many surrounding cities.

It's just that those surrounding cities are independent heaven and earth modules, so they haven't temporarily integrated into the New Heaven and Earth of Flower Fruit Mountain.

And this expansion of Flower Fruit Mountain has fundamentally encompassed many surrounding cities within its territory.

"This is the rhythm of gradually growing into Dongsheng Shenzhou!"

Wu Xian sighed with emotion, flying above the Club and surveying this land.

The Four Great True Gods also gathered around Wu Xian by coincidence, their hearts unable to calm for a long time.

After this transformation, the potential and value of this new heaven and earth continued to rise.

If it continued to transform like this, it might truly grow into a brand new heaven and earth order.

"Why do I feel like this place can already withstand our power?" Tooth of the Azure Sea carefully sensed it, surprised.

Azure Tree King pondered and nodded, "At least for a light spar, it shouldn't be a problem."

Previously, this new heaven and earth could only withstand their True God descent.

But after this transformation, it could already withstand them exerting a certain amount of power here.

A moment later, various groups also gathered around, offering congratulations and trying to get closer to the Four Great True Gods.

Wu Xian's gaze fell on the young brother Zhang Bo in the Demon God Dojo team. "Your Highness Demon Lord, this is the young brother Zhang Bo I mentioned to you."
