Chapter 277: Dile Listening
“Strange scene?” Wu Xian was baffled, “How is it strange?”
Du Yifan hemmed and hawed as he organized his words, “I don’t know how to describe it, but it’s definitely not a scene from our human world; it’s more like a scene from some other dimension.”
“Otherworld scene?” Wu Xian was surprised.
“Hey hey hey, over there~ it appeared again!” Du Yifan pointed not far away, “And it disappeared in the blink of an eye.”
After having Du Yifan describe it in detail, Wu Xian grew increasingly puzzled, “Like a dimensional mirage?”
“Pretty much,” Du Yifan said: “But it’s more like the perspective from which otherworldly monsters observe us during a dimensional mirage, faintly visible.”
Hearing Du Yifan say this made Wu Xian even more curious.
Could it be a manifestation of other dimension erosion taking physical form?
After some contemplation, he communicated with the City God in the City God Temple via the divine diagram.
Then, borrowing the City God’s power, a special vision that only Du Yifan could see emerged before his eyes.
In Yaoyang City, human souls wandered everywhere, aimless and without a destination.
Some wandering souls, unguided for too long, were on the verge of completely dissipating into heaven and earth.
But that wasn’t the point; the point was that peculiar “dimensional mirage” scene.
After observing for a moment, the situation Du Yifan described faintly appeared not far away.
A scene suspected to be from another dimension flashed by, vaguely showing some eerie monsters and sights, but it didn’t resemble the abyssal realm scene, nor the insectoid dimension scene.
It was different from all the other dimension scenes he currently knew.
“Interesting, could it be that some new other dimension is slowly infiltrating?”
But ever since that disaster a thousand years ago, all the other dimensions that could come had already invaded, and there hadn’t been news of any brand-new other dimensions arriving late.
Afterward, Wu Xian deliberately went to observe around the Earth Temple Farm.
As he expected, similar strange scenes appeared around the Earth Temple, just much less frequently.
After a phone call with Mayor Chen Shilong to exchange thoughts, Chen Shilong was also baffled and had no clues.
But Wu Xian wasn’t in a hurry.
After returning to the North Street District Small Villa, he focused single-mindedly on creating his first jade scroll.
…
Provincial City, Dongfeng City.
With the Three Gods Version update, there was now a constant undercurrent of unrest in the provincial city.
The Divine Dog Club, as the spokesperson for the upper layer master, felt this particularly keenly.
He could clearly sense that their Wang Family’s “charisma” toward various sectors of society had weakened. Although the various family forces still feared their Wang Family and gave them face, it was obviously not like before.
Especially the Wang Family over at Ink Jade Bamboo Forest, who seemed to have some intention of collecting rent for the Ink Jade Bamboo Forest cultivation pods.
It was obvious without thinking that the Wang Family had likely already hooked up with one of the “Three Gods.”
Fortunately, the upper layer was still the upper layer, and their ruling power remained.
Moreover, from the information the master had previously revealed, the upper layer was already taking action against those so-called Three Gods.
And what their Wang Family needed to do was to obediently serve the master and also find a way to incorporate that kid Wu Xian.
“Damn it, how exactly did they manage to create the farm?”
This was also the situation he understood the least and had the biggest headache over.
Logically speaking, without “technical assistance” from the upper layer, scroll painters in the lower world would have a hard time creating planting soil.
He had wanted to discuss it with the major grain merchants in the province, but found them all frowning in worry.
“What’s going on? All of you looking so glum? It can’t be that you’re impacted by the bit of grain exported from Yaoyang City, right?” Wang Zhi’s expression was odd.
“President Wang doesn’t know, but nowadays all our families’ farms are nearly driven mad by the recent rat infestation.”
“Rat infestation?” Wang Zhi was stunned.
He had recently heard that rat infestations were occurring nationwide; the ordinary rats originally living in the human world were now mutating into monsters, causing considerable impact on ordinary people’s lives.
“Do you have any good methods to deal with the rat infestation over there? As long as it can be solved, the price is negotiable; in the future, whatever happens, we’ll fully cooperate.”
Wang Zhi furrowed his brows in thought, “A mere rat infestation is nothing to fear; later I’ll chat with the Miao Family in neighboring Ziyang Province.”
Although their Wang Family didn’t get along well with the Miao Family, at a time like this, they would still stand on the same front.
“Miao Family?” The major grain merchants were overjoyed.
Just as they spoke, a few dispatched squads returned defeated, leaving Wang Zhi stunned.
“What? So many people couldn’t even get a single data core?”
“President, it’s really not that we’re incompetent; it’s that those otherworld monsters’ offensive was too fierce—we nearly died there.”
“Ah?”
…
Yaoyang City, North Street District.
Wu Xian took his time, meticulously carving out every step.
Not to mention~ this divine power fragment seemed to enhance the connection effect with the corresponding god.
He had originally thought that this Underworld Divine Dog had too high prestige; even with incense added, it wouldn’t be easy to reach, but unexpectedly, the conceptualization was so effortless.
It could only be said that this divine power fragment was truly compatible with the Underworld Divine Dog.
Unknowingly, the scroll painting imprint in his mind had taken shape, and the scroll painting under his brush had reached the final stage.
Heaven and Earth Laws swirled and gathered, heralding the birth of this extraordinary scroll painting.
“Damn it, who is disturbing this seat’s sleep?”
The sudden voice in his mind made Wu Xian’s heart skip a beat.
What’s the situation?
Could it be like with Sister Tiao and Yu Boling, connecting to the summons of Ting, this true god?
“Dare I ask, are you the Underworld Divine Dog, Ting, under Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?” Wu Xian suppressed his inner excitement and inquired with his mind.
“Who is speaking? Where is this seat? Oh no, oh no, did those two humans kill this seat?”
“…” Wu Xian’s forehead went black.
Amid disappointment, he was both shocked and suspicious.
After all that, it turned out to be the lingering consciousness of that sinister man?
Hadn’t that guy been completely transcended? How could consciousness still remain in the divine power fragment?
“Huh~ it seems heaven and earth power is reshaping this seat; could it be the great Lord of the Abyss, Death God of the Abyssal Domain? Haha, I knew I didn’t follow the wrong person; great Lord of the Abyss, your subordinate has important information to report!”
As the sinister man rambled in his mind, black lines popped on Wu Xian’s forehead.
At the same time, the heaven and earth laws of the forming scroll painting also surged.
A jade axis scroll painting slowly condensed, with golden threads flying to mount it into a scroll.
Looking at the jade axis scroll painting slowly floating into his hand, Wu Xian was still in deep bewilderment and confusion.
The good news was getting a peculiar scroll painting with consciousness; the bad news was that this consciousness was a bit off.
Underworld Divine Dog – Ting

The final result had no issues; it was just that this result had a slight unexpected flaw.
After some hesitation, he slowly unfurled it, summoning the Ting Painted Spirit.
Amid divine light and rosy glow, an auspicious beast “Big White Dog” with a tiger head, lion tail, single horn on its head, and qilin four feet condensed into being—neither dragon nor dragon-like, neither tiger nor tiger-like, neither lion nor lion-like, neither dog nor dog-like; its appearance was bizarre yet somehow harmoniously coordinated.
Nine-colored lights swirled around its body, majestic and extraordinary, the perfect image of a divine beast auspicious beast.
But upon clearly seeing the scene before it, a dazed and stiff expression appeared on its adorably silly face, followed by a fragrant outburst: “Great… fuck… what’s the situation?
It’s you, you damn human, you you… what did you do to this seat?”
