Chapter 314: High-difficulty Mission
Sky Green Tree King is definitely an honest person, worth befriending deeply.
“Senior, rest assured, this junior will definitely help you revive your old friend.”
After thanking Sky Green Tree King again, he finally left the Green Desert under Kun Youniang’s pulling.
When passing through the dimensional rift, he even felt a bit reluctant to leave.
In contrast, Kun Youniang beside him was already breaking out in cold sweat from fear. “Little Xianzi, you really are…”
“What’s there to fear? Sky Green Tree King is clearly an approachable old senior.” Wu Xian calmly teased with a smile. “Once I restore that old friend of his, we’ll have latched onto this big tree.”
Kun Youniang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. “A True God-level old friend—could that be an ordinary great demon? How could it be casually restored with a scroll painting concept?”
Not just her—even that Sky Green Tree King probably didn’t expect Wu Xian to actually restore his old friend.
After all, scroll painting concepts also vary in difficulty.
And restoring Sky Green Tree King’s old friend was undoubtedly the highest difficulty scroll painting concept.
A normal scroll painting concept involves imagining from scratch and free creation.
Using the law network of 【divine power fragments】 as inspiration and framework to conceive a relatively compatible scroll painting concept—this is also why jade scrolls are so difficult.
The key is that black wood isn’t even 【divine power fragments】.
It’s equivalent to just the tip of the iceberg of a law network, and moreover, a “chaos” version of the law network.
The reason otherworldly great demons turn into catastrophe-level or world-ending level is because the development of their law network goes awry, causing them to lose themselves, with power out of control—like a state of deviating from the path.
Therefore, the law network in that black wood is not only scarce but also carries erroneous law network versions.
It’s like taking a small segment from a jumble of true and false clues, then asking you to brain supplement the complete clue chain.
In Kun Youniang’s view, this was almost an impossible task.
“Looks like Second Sister-in-law has no confidence in me.” Wu Xian asked with a smile.
“…” Kun Youniang shook her head.
This was no longer a matter of confidence—it was simply unrealistic.
Little did she know, the Wu Xian before her was no ordinary person to begin with.
Wu Xian was too lazy to argue with her. Once he got that black wood out later, Second Sister-in-law would naturally understand.
On the way back to Pansi Cave Outpost, Wu Xian couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Right, Second Sister-in-law, what do those ancient era, pre-era, post-era, new era prefixes mean for the otherworldly True Gods?”
“It seems related to the development direction of our divine power cores.”
Wu Xian pondered.
In plain terms, the law networks naturally developed by otherworldly great demons don’t have just one direction—they might correspond to several “standard answers” simultaneously, each answer matching a different “era” path to becoming a god.
Or perhaps not just otherworldly great demons—human scroll painters’ concepts might also contain multiple possibilities.
Even Wu Xian, this transmigrator with his own system, might not have just one direction in his scroll painting concept.
After all, Chinese Mythology Legends are inherently a messy account, with the same mythological figure having several different versions of stories.
Back at Pansi Cave, Wu Xian couldn’t help but secretly observe that spiritual youngster centipede spirit.
According to Kun Youniang, the spiritual youngster currently showed no abnormalities.
“Maybe I’m overthinking it.”
Wu Xian chuckled wryly. No problem was naturally best.
He then used the outpost teleportation device to return to the Underworld Club.
It was already noon the next day, nearly a full day since the fourth True God had successfully proved the Dao yesterday.
Human society had gradually calmed down from the initial panic.
It seemed humanity’s subconscious had already accepted the existence of otherworldly True Gods.
This could be seen from the various public opinions online.
When the Three Gods were born, the internet was filled with a despairing atmosphere of “humanity utterly defeated.”
But now, many humans had quietly accepted these otherworldly demon gods—at least so far, the demon gods hadn’t done anything excessive to humanity.
It was just the changes in heaven and earth laws that brought some minor troubles to humanity.
For instance, the frequent rat plagues appearing in various places, the undead monsters being hard to kill, and the ocean system monsters having greatly increased combat power.
Some groups worshiping True Gods had even emerged.
Right now, with the Hero Tower’s sixtieth floor update imminent, spirit tamers everywhere were curious about the changes to the Hero Tower and what the True God blessings specifically were.
At Alliance Headquarters, many top players had already begun challenging the Hero Tower, though no specific news had leaked out yet.
“Vice President, just now there’s a gold scroll order specifically naming you.” A staff member came to remind him. “They’re waiting over in the rest area.”
Wu Xian nodded in understanding and strode toward the rest area.
From afar, he saw Hu Yanfei’s familiar figure. “Yo~ Brother Hu Yan, have you come around?”
“…” Hu Yanfei twitched the corner of his mouth. “You’re overthinking it. I’m just here purely to exchange gold scrolls.”
“Oh, like that?” Wu Xian thought it was a pity inwardly.
He then glanced at the two gold scroll exchange vouchers in Hu Yanfei’s hand and inwardly clicked his tongue.
Good grief, how much money did this guy spend?
Completely ignoring destiny, he hard-pulled two gold scroll portions.
“Are the materials ready?” Wu Xian asked with a smile.
“No.”
“Then what are you doing at my place?” Wu Xian was amused.
Hu Yanfei said irritably, “I saw on your official website that two lower-tier gold scroll vouchers can be exchanged for one upper-tier gold scroll. I’m interested in your star constellation series, so give me the material requirements first today—I’ll go gather them.”
“Got it,” Wu Xian said in realization. “To be honest, the star constellation series might not suit you. I have a small series here—want to try it?”
“Small series?” Hu Yanfei looked odd. “I’ve already spent so much money—don’t pit me again, okay?”
“How could I? Brother Hu Yan is a big customer of our club—I wouldn’t pit anyone else before you.” Wu Xian enthusiastically recommended. “Truth be told, the first moment I saw Brother Hu Yan, I felt you were extremely compatible with this small series.”
With that, he summoned the four little Gods of Wealth and showed them to Hu Yanfei.
“Will it work?” Hu Yanfei seemed somewhat worried.
“Relax~ These aren’t in the card pool—they’re our treasured private stock,” Wu Xian said with an eager smile. “Oh right, these four gold scrolls are from the same series as this one I commonly use.”
With that, he also released his Natal God of Wealth.
The instant he saw the God of Wealth, Hu Yanfei immediately decided. “You should have said so earlier—just this series!”
Though he didn’t know the level of the four little Gods of Wealth, he had some understanding of 【God of Wealth】’s level.
“By the way, Brother Hu Yan, are you sure you won’t join our club?” Wu Xian couldn’t help asking again.
“This…” Hu Yanfei hesitated. “Maybe I can consider it.”
Before, he definitely wouldn’t have considered it—after all, his family was wealthy and didn’t need to risk his life at the club. Whatever scroll painting he wanted, he could just spend money for it.
But nowadays the world changed daily, and his family’s financial strength was starting to struggle, forcing him to rethink his future.
