Chapter 281: Evil Realm Infiltration
Subsequently, Kun Youniang, who had successfully advanced to Emperor-level, inevitably had to return to the Insectoid Otherworld.
Xue Zhengying, this Beloved Consort, naturally found it inconvenient to follow due to the need to guard the Underworld Outpost.
The young couple parted reluctantly, but they knew what mattered most.
“Once This Emperor handles matters on the Insectoid Realm side, This Emperor will come to reunite with Beloved Consort,” Kun Youniang comforted Xue Zhengying, then turned to Wu Xian, “Little brother, find time recently to go to the Insectoid Realm, collect those few Earth Veins, and remember to bring little brother along.”
“Got it.” Wu Xian smiled and nodded lightly.
After seeing Kun Youniang off, Little Di Ting appeared even more saddened than Xue Zhengying.
After all, it was rare to meet such a confidante Older Sister who understood its “hardship.”
“Alright, just focus on being a good Little Di Ting; it’s definitely better than you wandering in the Abyssal Domain alone.”
After bidding farewell to Xue Zhengying, Wu Xian looked at Little Di Ting, who was listless beside him, feeling secretly helpless.
“Freedom is gone; what’s the use of being strong?” Little Di Ting huffed.
“Who said that? In the future, when divine power and scrolls unite, won’t you be free?” Wu Xian laughed.
“Heh,” Little Di Ting smiled faintly, “When have you humans ever achieved that?”
“No no no, I’m different from other Scroll Painters,” Wu Xian laughed: “Have some faith in bro, and don’t you think Ting’s power is perfectly compatible with you?”
“What’s the use of compatibility?” Little Di Ting raised an eyebrow.
“Is there a possibility that bro’s Scroll Painting Concept is that flower identical to you?” Wu Xian teased.
Little Di Ting chuckled, clearly not taking the words seriously.
Back at the club.
The Endless Sea Teleportation Gate side had been built almost completely, entering the late-stage debugging phase.
Many Yaoyang City residents came to watch the excitement, after all, it was Yaoyang City’s first time establishing a connection with the Endless Sea Region.
Wu Xian leisurely arrived at the City God Temple side, observed and sensed for a bit, then looked at Little Di Ting beside him, “The time to show your value has come; help me listen.”
“Listen to what?” Little Di Ting was baffled.
“The Heaven and Earth Laws here feel off; there’s suspected infiltration of power from your Other Dimension, I’m not too clear on the specifics,” Wu Xian said seriously: “With your ability to perceive the Three Realms and discern all things in the world, you should be able to find the problem.”
“Where’s the Otherworld infiltration?” Little Di Ting looked around in doubt, “This Seat, as a Great Demon of the Ghost Domain, can’t even recognize what Otherworld infiltration looks like?”
“Just listen when I tell you to; where’s all that nonsense coming from.” Wu Xian said impatiently.
“Fine~ fine, who let This Seat fall to this point?”
Little Di Ting sighed grudgingly, tilted its ear and crouched to the ground, using this new Law Framework’s power for the first time, which was quite interesting.
Thump thump thump…
That sensation of perceiving the “heartbeat” of Heaven and Earth made it secretly amazed.
Soon, Little Di Ting detected something amiss and furrowed its brows in doubt, “Why does it feel like your city’s Scroll Painting Power is about to collapse? But this side seems to be stabilized by that temple’s power.”
“…” Wu Xian was speechless, “Listen to the key points!”
Little Di Ting obediently wagged its tail and lay on the ground, continuing to listen.
Moments later, its shaking tail paused slightly, and it said in surprise and doubt: “No no, why is there Evil Realm aura too?”
“Evil Realm?” Wu Xian was puzzled, “Evil Other Dimension?”
“No no no, where’s any Evil Other Dimension,” Little Di Ting explained: “Evil Realm is what those Evil God Scroll Painters among you humans impose on our various Otherworlds, similar to your Otherworld Outpost.
Evil Realm is like a dog-skin plaster, very disgusting, very hard to remove; I didn’t expect your Human World to have this thing too.”
Hearing this, Wu Xian was startled inwardly, “Infiltration from Evil God Domain Scroll Painting?”
At this moment, Wu Xian instantly sorted out his thoughts.
“I knew those Evil God Scroll Painters had no good intentions.” Dark light surged in Wu Xian’s eyes.
At least in his impression, he had never heard of any【Evil Realm】 appearing in the Human World.
This showed that due to the Upper World’s blockade and monopoly, Evil God Domain Scroll Paintings, like Normal Domain Scroll Paintings, also couldn’t take root in the Human World.
“So they’ve set their sights on Yaoyang City’s juicy piece?”
As mentioned before, Yaoyang City and the surrounding few cities were like licenses issued by the Upper World before its monopoly.
They could bypass the Upper World’s blockade to establish Scroll Painting Domains rooted in the Human World.
The Earth Temple and City God Temple could utilize this, and naturally, the Evil God Scroll Painters had also eyed this.
But currently, the Evil God Scroll Painters hadn’t formally integrated; it was more like covert preparation, waiting for the day Yaoyang City collapsed, which would be when they established the first Evil God territory in human history.
“You just said the City God Temple’s power has stabilized the surrounding area, right?” Wu Xian confirmed.
“Correct, at least after this city collapses, the range within a few hundred meters can hold out for a long time; it just depends on whether it can withstand the distortion and Otherworld infiltration afterward.”
Wu Xian understood.
If he wasn’t wrong, it was precisely because the Earth Temple and City God Temple stabilized this area that the Evil God Domain’s infiltration manifested in this eerie way.
Since the effects of the City God Temple and Earth Temple were confirmed, there was naturally no need to cooperate with the Evil God Scroll Painters.
A phone call “summoned” Mayor Chen Shilong over, and he briefly explained the situation.
Upon learning that the Evil God Scroll Painters were secretly infiltrating Yaoyang City via Evil Realm, Chen Shilong panicked and blamed himself, his face turning pale, “Damn it, I should have thought of it; how could those wicked guys cooperate with me properly!”
“Don’t rush; it’s not clear yet how exactly they’re infiltrating,” Wu Xian pondered: “Since the cooperation is still ongoing, why not play along and defeat them one by one.”
“Good idea,” Chen Shilong’s eyes lit up slightly, “Though I’m not clear on the exact locations, over these years I’ve roughly mapped their general positions and activity areas; want to do it with the Association?”
“Sure, but best not to make too much noise, to avoid leaking the news and causing public panic.” Wu Xian pondered: “Also, Mayor, you can secretly relocate some ordinary residents.”
“That’s easy,” Chen Shilong said: “Recently we’ve been aiding brother cities with Earth Temple Farms; we can use that to transfer some residents.”
“Good, you go explain the situation to President Cui first; see if we can probe more details.”
Chen Shilong didn’t waste words and hurriedly went to the Association to discuss with Cui Wenxuan.
Meanwhile, Wu Xian had Little Di Ting continue probing the Evil Realm situation.
“By the way, what’s the difference between that Evil Realm and our outposts?” Wu Xian asked curiously, “From what you said, your Otherworldly Beings seem to really resent Evil Realm.”
“The difference is huge,” Little Di Ting explained: “Your humans’ Scroll Painting Concepts originally derive from the various Otherworlds; Domain Scroll Paintings are also a kind of completion and shaping of our Otherworlds’ Heaven and Earth, not a bad thing.
But Evil Realm is different; it’s pure distortion, pure destruction, even dragging nearby Otherworldly Beings into becoming neither human nor ghost, completely losing themselves and turning into claws of Evil God Power.
The key is Evil Realm can erode our Otherworlds’ Heaven and Earth Power; even if eradicated, it takes an incredibly long time to gradually recover, totally disgusting anyway.”
