Chapter 340: What A Brilliant Move!
It was as if some invisible mighty force was funding and supporting this great undertaking.
Others might not know, but Wu Xian knew.
It was a mighty force called【Merit】.
It was just that the Underworld Domain currently still lacked many details, and the “processing” process for human lost souls was not yet perfect enough, so this force was not manifesting very obviously.
But Wu Xian clearly knew that this force was crucial to his own future and the entire club’s future.
It was understandable that Yao Xue’er had some doubts at this moment, after all, people always preferred fast-paced, high-return things.
But one day in the future, Yao Xue’er would definitely be glad for this work experience now.
In the midst of his sighing, Wu Xian vaguely sensed something.
He summoned【Ting】 with great interest.
“What’s up?” Little Di Ting was initially full of doubt, but the next second it instantly understood, its gaze turning toward the Abyssal Domain world outside Soul Returning Cliff, “Yo~ Brother Snake is still watching, why not just move right in?”
There was a moment of silence outside Soul Returning Cliff, then a familiar figure slowly appeared, its expression seeming somewhat embarrassed.
Although Soul Returning Cliff was right next to its king-level territory, ever since this human domain outpost appeared, it had often come to “quench thirst by looking at plums.”
Now that it had been discovered, it was inevitable to feel a bit embarrassed.
The key was that this human youth was talent favored by the Great True God, and it didn’t dare to offend him.
Even if it wanted to offend, it couldn’t beat him.
“I haven’t thanked Senior yet for stepping up last time.” Wu Xian politely cupped his fists.
“No problem, clearing the Evil Realm is just my duty.” The king-level great serpent waved its hand with a smile.
“Alright Brother Snake, we know you like this territory, why not just move over directly,” Little Di Ting teased: “You can even come over occasionally to catch up. Ever since following this kid, I don’t even have anyone to talk to on normal days, your little brother here gets quite lonely.”
The king-level great serpent’s expression stiffened slightly, “I have no desire to become a human scroll painting.”
“Senior might have misunderstood something,” Wu Xian hurriedly explained: “There’s no need for Senior to become a painted spirit. If you want to come, you can treat this place as your dao field for cultivation from now on, and by the way, help us watch the place.”
Hearing this, the king-level great serpent was both surprised and delighted, clearly tempted, “Are you serious?”
“Of course.”
“No need for me to pay anything?” the king-level great serpent asked vigilantly.
“If you feel uneasy, you can provide us with some high-level Abyssal Domain materials or the like.” Wu Xian smiled. “You should also be able to sense that our outpost’s scale is now too large, making defense quite difficult. With a great demon like you joining, it would also relieve a lot of pressure for us.”
“Then I’ll move in.”
The king-level great serpent couldn’t hide its excitement and immediately transformed into its true form, diving headfirst into the Oblivion River below, bathing freely.
“You’re not bad, human. Rest assured~ With me guarding, it’s absolutely impossible for other great demons to set foot here even half a step.”
Feeling the wondrous heaven and earth spiritual power in the Oblivion River, the king-level great serpent was thrilled.
“Oh right, there will be some unruly lost souls here in the future, so please drag them into the Oblivion River and devour and refine them then, Senior.” Wu Xian added.
“No problem~ No problem.” The king-level great serpent readily agreed.
It was no stranger to such tasks; it had previously helped the Abyss Demon Lord handle some human lost souls.
……
Time quickly arrived at month’s end.
The new round of special grade extermination competition was imminent, and all the major provincial clubs were eager to try.
Ever since the “Four Gods Version” descended, the league landscape was now in complete chaos.
Wu Xian had long set his sights on this special grade expedition, preparing to have a good showdown with these clubs boosted by the new version.
However, an announcement disrupted Wu Xian’s plans.
The Four Great True Gods, through the alliance headquarters’ channels, issued an announcement to the human world.
Starting immediately, the Abyssal Realm, Spirit World, Green Desert, and Endless Sea Region would only allow scroll paintings of corresponding styles and those possessing related law networks to be used.
The news caused a thousand waves with a single stone.
Human society instantly erupted into chaos.
The good news was that, with the blessing of corresponding divine sculpting power, they could still summon normally in these four otherworlds.
For example, Black and White Impermanence could be used normally in the Endless Sea Region if it absorbed the divine sculpting factor of Tooth of the Sea.
But the problem was, Black and White Impermanence was not compatible with Sea God’s law power, and absorbing it would cause modification and deformation to Black and White Impermanence.
At least on Wu Xian’s side, he definitely wasn’t willing to let his scroll paintings undergo such modifications.
“Real or fake?”
The moment he learned the news, Wu Xian went through the teleportation gate to the teleportation gate’s small island on the Endless Sea Region side.
“Can’t this be summoned normally?”
Looking at his natal flying sword【Laurel Branch】 flying normally underfoot, Wu Xian was secretly puzzled.
Then, he tried summoning the Ten Great Yin Marshals series.
The heaven and earth laws of the entire Endless Sea Region seemed to have added some restriction rules; aside from【Fish Gill Marshal】, none of the other nine yin marshals could be summoned.
The Four Seas Dragon Palace series could naturally be summoned normally.
Besides that, the Laurel Branch being summonable meant appliance scroll paintings were unrestricted.
“This move by the Four Great True Gods is brilliant~!”
Wu Xian exclaimed in admiration; this was clearly forcing human scroll painters and spirit tamers to join their systems.
In the future, scroll paintings without corresponding styles wouldn’t be able to survive in their otherworlds at all.
Unless using divine sculpting factors for fusion modification, otherwise they’d only be able to hang around in dimensional control zones, definitely unable to enter the corresponding otherworlds—going in would be suicide.
“What about God of Wealth?”
While pondering, he tried summoning his natal God of Wealth and successfully summoned the God of Wealth to his side.
“Are natal scroll paintings unrestricted?”
“Or is it because of the Sea Calming Pearls?”
So he decisively teleported back to the club and went to the Underworld Outpost side to test; the natal God of Wealth was similarly unrestricted.
From this, it could be inferred that it was most likely due to natal scroll paintings, after all, natal scroll paintings were one with the scroll painter—restricting natal scroll paintings would be equivalent to directly restricting humans from entering.
At the club, Master Sister and the members were clearly shocked by this news as well.
The internet was even more abuzz because of it.
Especially for groups relying on otherworld output and revenue, this “ban” from the Four Gods directly slashed the earnings of a large number of spirit tamers.
Previously, with just one or two main scroll paintings, they could dominate most otherworlds.
Now, without a main scroll painting of the corresponding style, don’t even think about making a living in these four major otherworlds.
Of course, you could also choose to use the four kinds of divine sculpting factors to perform divine power patchwork modification on your main scroll painting, but currently the output of divine sculpting factors wasn’t high, and mid-to-low tier spirit tamers had a hard time accessing them.
The price of divine sculpting factors would probably skyrocket as a result.
After Wu Xian’s analysis, he seemed to understand something.
The Four Great True Gods were competing for believers and power of faith!
And as the divine sculpting modification crowd expanded, the popularity of the Four Great True Gods’ dojos on the Hero Tower side would also rise accordingly.
It had to be said, this move was truly brilliant.
But there was no way around it; who made them the current true gods.
Moreover, this kind of operation restricting scroll painting types was probably something only true gods could pull off.
