I am a living immortal.

The world in the painting.

When Su Mu saw this scene, she knew the whole story. This evil dragon was already powerful, and if it was allowed to occupy the world in the painting, the consequences would be unimaginable.

No wonder the City God wanted to suppress the chaos in the underworld even if it meant suppressing it. Fortunately, the City God was away for a short time and no major disaster occurred in the outside world. The only person who had made some progress was encountered by Su Mu and killed by chance.

Su Mu's arrival attracted many people's attention.

The monsters are restless.

In the world of the painting, the City God's team is not at home, so naturally they are no match. I think it was Shen Qiu who depicted the statues of gods in the City God Temple before.

With Shen Qiu's help, the evil dragon was trapped.

Facing the group of monsters ready to make a move.

A golden light suddenly flashed in the black carp's eyes, and a low dragon roar came out of its mouth.

The beasts were frightened and trembled, not daring to move forward.

The authority of the water god and the dragon's might attracted the attention of the demon dragon hiding on the mountain.

It struggled to wriggle its body, trying to tighten the chains. The dragon scales were covered in blood and flesh, and the wriggling flesh seemed to have a great attraction to the group of beasts in the painting.

A strange beast has already come forward to bite.

However, within a few breaths, he died suddenly and turned into a pool of ink-like substance, which was absorbed by the demon dragon, and the wounds on his body also healed a little.

The huge and ferocious head of the demon dragon appeared from between the mountain peaks. Its eyes opened slightly and stared at the black carp beside Su Mu.

In the eyes of the demon dragon, the black carp is only the size of dust.

But it has a strong presence.

Actually, this demon dragon is not a real dragon, but a dragon in a painting that has transformed into a demon by using the dragon energy of the dynasty to open its own eyes. It is also a miracle.

Lifting his eyelids had exhausted all the dragon's strength. His eyes were full of greed but helplessness. He lightly exhaled a cloud of mist, and then there was no movement. Out of sight, out of mind.

The pressure from the entire City God team made him breathless.

Su Mu ignored the demon dragon.

In just a few steps, he brought the black carp to the City God Temple on the top of the mountain.

Looking at this crumbling City God Temple, it seems that the City God does not have much advantage in the battle with the evil dragon.

Su Mu did not come up to kill the evil dragon because he wanted to consider what state the City God was in at the moment, so as not to kill the entire City God team with one sword.

The mountain was overgrown with weeds, as if it had been deserted for a long time.

The people in the temple seemed to sense something and turned around to look. Their faces were extremely thin and unrecognizable, their hair was withered, and their skinny fingers were tremblingly filling in the portrait of the City God with a brush dipped in some gold powder.

I didn't look carefully outside.

But now it seems that the City God must have suffered great damage in the battle with the evil dragon. In the painting, the golden body of the god is covered with cracks.

Upon seeing this, Su Mu immediately stepped forward, held Shen Qiu's hand, and introduced strands of spiritual energy into his body.

Shen Qiu regained some of his vitality.

If he had come a little later, Shen Qiu would probably have turned into a pile of bones in the painting.

Su Mu took out some food and water from his purse.

Shen Qiu's hoarse voice was like the caressing of dry bark: "Thank you, brother."

Then he started eating it bit by bit.

Su Mu sat quietly.

The black carp swam to the side of the City God's portrait, examined it carefully, and swallowed a golden bubble.

The bubble caused a ripple on the surface of the statue, merged into it, emitted a burst of light, and then fell into darkness.

Heili turned around and looked at Su Mu in confusion.

Without waiting for Su Mu to explain, Shen Qiu put down the cake in his hand and said, "The City God fought with the evil dragon, and the golden body of the god was completely shattered. Several Yin and Yang messengers were permanently transformed into stone statues in order to capture the evil dragon."

"What exactly happened here, and why did you become like this?" Su Mu asked.

"Oh, it's a long story." Shen Qiu sighed softly.

"When I felt I had hit a bottleneck in my painting, I went into seclusion, and this is the picture I painted."

"To create this magnificent landscape painting, I spent nearly a year contemplating it and several months preparing it, pouring nearly all my energy and effort into it. I spent the first half of my life observing the world's landscapes, and in the second half I am preparing to integrate all that I have observed, creating a masterpiece that will surpass all others, both ancient and modern."

"I painted day and night for three days."

"But no one expected that the day the painting was completed, it would attract unusual events."

"That day, a dragon roared in the sky. A demonic dragon, accompanied by a group of beasts, rode the wind and thunder and plunged headfirst into the painting, attempting to occupy a place within it."

"The artistic conception of the landscape in the painting has changed since that day."

"But I can't do anything about it, and I don't know what they are doing either."

"until………"

Su Mu could roughly guess what would happen next.

"Until the demonic aura surged to the sky, attracting the attention of the day and night patrols?"

"Yes!" Shen Qiu took a sip of water.

"However, Day and Night Patrol was no match for the demonic dragon and was... swallowed in one gulp."

"It eventually attracted the Li'an City God and a group of underworld officials."

"The two sides fought for several days in the painting. The City God transformed the temple into a golden light, and the Yin messenger shrunk the demon dragon by throwing his chain.

"Then how did you get trapped here?"

"Me? I was dragged into the battle between the two sides. At first, the City God was able to protect me a bit, bringing me some wild fruits from the paintings to satisfy my hunger. But later, I fell into a deep sleep, and my wakefulness time became shorter and shorter until I completely stopped waking up half a month ago."

"I was trapped on the top of a mountain, and the mountainside was full of wild beasts."

"I'm grinding gold into powder to repair the City God portrait, but unfortunately, the effect is not obvious. Sigh..."

Su Mu finally understood.

Looking at the golden body full of cracks, Shen Qiu's filling was actually of some effect. The City God used this method to delay his own injuries, and it was only with Shen Qiu's repairs that he could hold on for such a long time.

He had never repaired this Shinto golden body, and he didn't even understand its components or how to repair it.

Lost in thought.

Shen Qiu did not disturb the man's thoughts and ate the remaining cakes.

Wait, that shouldn't happen.

He remembered that the City God Temple in Li'an was still open, which showed that the faith had not been cut off. If the faith had not been cut off, the City God would definitely not be in such a half-dead state.

He glanced at Shen Qiu inexplicably.

Shen Qiu didn't understand what was going on and smiled back.

The painting made by this person may be more amazing than imagined. The painting becomes a world in itself. Shen Qiu may not just be starving. It seems that he is not lying. He has really integrated all the energy and spirit of his first half of life into this painting.

Just based on this work, Su Mu looked at Shen Qiu with new respect. It was something that most people couldn't do.

However, he figured out a solution.

If the City God did not accept the beliefs in the City God Temple, then those beliefs should still be in the City God statue. The accumulation of so many beliefs should be enough to repair these cracks.

"I'll be back as soon as I go."
