Gourmet of Another World

Bu Fang looked at the fruit that was emitting a seven-colored light. It was a Fruit of Law, and it was surrounded by a profound aura of Law.

It never occurred to him that the thing sealed in this ancient Heavengod’s inheritance was actually the fruit that could allow an individual to comprehend the Law.

A seven-colored light spread from the fruit, flashing with a peculiar glow and emitting extreme brilliance. The surrounding Divine Chefs were frozen in awe. Suddenly, they all gasped at the same time.

“That’s… Is that the Fruit of Law?!”

“It seems to be… and it’s not an ordinary Fruit of Law.”

“It’s a seven-colored Fruit of Law… A legendary treasure! I’ve heard that eating it will help an individual comprehend the supreme Laws of the Universe!”

The surrounding Divine Chefs were talking noisily as their breathing became faster and faster. No one had expected that the Heavengod’s inheritance would actually be this thing.

“I’ve been told that Fruits of Law can only be encountered but not found. There are records in ancient books that seven-colored Fruits of Law were born in the Chaotic Sea of Laws, and there’s also a saying that they are actually the essence of the Heavengods, which turned into fruits after the Heavengods died. In any case, they’re extremely rare and precious!”

“A seven-colored Fruit of Law can not only help an individual comprehend the supreme Laws, but also enhance an individual’s talent… For a Demigod who is laying the foundation, it’s simply a divine herb!”

The Divine Chefs all stared at the seven-colored fruit with greed and envy on their faces. However, although the Fruit of Law was exposed, it was still wrapped in a seal, so they could only look at it.

The Divine Emperor, standing on the high platform, was breathing rapidly, while the wrinkles on his old face were twitching.

“A seven-colored Fruit of Law! Is this the Fruit of Law that can help an individual comprehend the supreme Laws?!” His voice seemed to be getting a little hoarse. He looked at the fruit, then glanced at Bu Fang. The next moment, his eyes bloomed with radiant light.

‘Mister Bu has already comprehended four of the supreme Laws of the Universe… If he gets this Fruit of Law and eats it, he may well comprehend the last supreme Law… Is he about to create an unprecedented record?! Could he have succeeded in comprehending all the five supreme Laws of the Universe as a Demigod?!’

When the idea came up, even the Divine Emperor himself was taken aback. Anyone who comprehended just one supreme Law was enough to be called a genius, but Bu Fang would have the chance to comprehend five.

Summer thought of that possibility, too. Her pupils constricted, and she did not know what to say. When the miracle was about to unfold before them, they were left with complex emotions that could not be expressed in words.

Bu Fang rubbed his chin and took a few steps back. Looking at the Fruit of Low suspended in the seal, his eyes narrowed slightly. He was also a little bit tempted.

He had no idea how strong he would be once he had comprehended the fifth supreme Law of the Universe. Perhaps, he would have the opportunity to break through to the Heavengod realm!

However, there was no way he could break the final seal today. He could sense its difference, so he did not dare to try it recklessly. Another reason was that he had just broken a seal and was exhausted.

He took out an oyster pancake, shoved it into his mouth, and chewed it. With a crackling sound, oil flowed out of the pancake, accompanied by a delicious aroma.

Bu Fang was naturally eager to get the Fruit of Law, but he did not force it—his desire was not very strong. He took the lead and left the Divine Chef Temple, and then the others also left.

The Xiayi Divine Emperor attached great importance to this last Fruit of Law, so he quickly sent guards to protect the Heavengod’s inheritance.

Word spread quickly throughout the capital that the ancient Heavengod’s inheritance in the Divine Chef Temple contained a precious seven-colored Fruit of Law. Since most people had never seen it, they were curious and amazed.

Ah Mo, who was recuperating in the mansion, got excited as soon as she heard the news. She went to look for Xiao Yanyu but found that the crown princess was not in her room. No doubt she had gone to that restaurant to eat and drink again.

“This is not good. How could Her Highness be so lazy when we have not avenged the Immortal Spirit Divine Dynasty?!”

So, Ah Mo went to Bu Fang’s restaurant and found Xiao Yanyu, who was drinking a bowl of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall Soup.

Being able to drink this familiar cuisine made Xiao Yanyu happy. She had a feeling as if she had returned to the Light Wind Empire. The days she spent eating and drinking at Bu Fang’s restaurant were the happiest times in her life.

“Your Highness… Come with me!” Ah Mo found Xiao Yanyu and said through clenched teeth. ‘Her Highness is too weak and shy of character. How is she going to carry the Empress’s long-cherished wish with a nature like this?!’

Xiao Yanyu’s mouth was still stuffed with the chicken feet of the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall Soup. She did not expect Ah Mo to be in such a hurry. She hurriedly finished the soup, narrowed her eyes, and let out a satisfied breath. Then, she was pulled out of the restaurant by Ah Mo and headed for the palace.

Bu Fang wiped the water off his hands and walked out of the kitchen. He gave Ah Mo a puzzled look as she hurried away, then returned to the kitchen to continue cooking.

He had handed over the cooking of stinky tofu to the Titan crown prince.

Stinky Tofu had become a best-selling dish due to its potent power over Soul Demons. Some people bought stinky tofu and sent it to the front line, while others bought it and ate it themselves, enjoying it without feeling the stench.

Therefore, Bu Fang’s turnover was going up and up. He felt that he would soon reach a tipping point. This made him more and more excited.

In the Xiayi Divine Dynasty’s palace…

The Xiayi Divine Emperor was reading the war report from the front line. Perhaps because of the stinky tofu, the Soul Demons’ attack had weakened. A stalemate had formed between the two warring sides, and the divine dynasty had even recaptured several lost great worlds. Everything seemed to be moving in a good direction.

“Your Majesty, Protector Mo of the Immortal Spirit Divine Dynasty requests an audience.”

The shrill voice of a eunuch interrupted the Divine Emperor’s reading of the war report. He looked up and nodded.

A few moments later, Ah Mo hurried into the great hall with Xiao Yanyu.

The Divine Emperor put away the report and smiled at the two visitors.

“Protector Mo, are you used to living in the Xiayi Divine Dynasty’s capital? What happened? Why are you so anxious to see me?”

Ah Mo glanced at the crown princess. When she found that Xiao Yanyu was narrowing her eyes as if she was still savoring the taste of the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall Soup, she was a little speechless. She turned to look at the Divine Emperor. She felt that she must seize the best opportunity for her crown princess because the Empress had said that she was the hope of all mankind!

“Your Majesty… I have something to ask of you!”

“What is it, Protector Mo? Tell me.” The Divine Emperor smiled and nodded. He was very kind to them because he felt sorry for their loss of their Empress.

“I was told that a precious seven-colored Fruit of Law has been found in the Xiayi Divine Dynasty… I have a rude request. I hope Your Majesty can gift the Fruit of Law to my crown princess…” Ah Mo said.

In fact, when she said that, she also felt a little embarrassed. Then, she saw the Divine Emperor furrow his brows.

“Your Majesty… I know this request may be a little unreasonable. However, the crown princess is really the hope of all mankind. The Soul Demon is coming with great force, and if the Heavengods still do not show up, there is a real possibility that mankind will be wiped out. So, Your Majesty, for the sake of the greater good, I implore Your Majesty to give this Fruit of Law to my crown princess…”

The Divine Emperor’s face grew slightly cold. He did not expect Ah Mo to come to him for this matter.

“The Fruit of Law is not the property of my imperial clan, so I can’t give it to you. It belongs to the Divine Chef Temple, so you should go to their Lord Temple…”

His face relaxed a little as he threw the responsibility to Bu Fang.

“The crown princess has already comprehended four of the supreme Laws of the Universe, and she is the hope of all mankind. All we need to do is give her one more Fruit of Law, and she will be able to comprehend all five of the supreme Laws. In time, she would surely attract the attention of the Heavengods… And when she grows up, she will certainly become a Heavengod!” said Ah Mo. Her eyes were wide and filled with confidence in Xiao Yanyu.

“Four of the supreme Laws of the Universe…” The Divine Emperor’s face became slightly odd. “Mister Bu also comprehended four of the supreme Laws of the Universe… And he is much more gifted. In fact, I think the hope of all mankind is him…” he said seriously.

Ah Mo’s face froze. She knew the Divine Emperor would say that, but she still had to fight for her crown princess.

“Yes, Bu Fang is very good…” Xiao Yanyu nodded in agreement with the Divine Emperor.

This made Ah Mo a little angry. ‘My crown princess is really a bit silly!’ She was trying hard to get the benefits for Xiao Yanyu, but the crown princess was pushing the benefits away. How could she be so biased toward an outsider?

“Your Majesty, if you give my crown princess the Fruit of Law, I am willing to serve the Xiayi Divine Dynasty for ten thousand years!” Ah Mo gritted her teeth and said.

A top-grade God King at the Xiayi Divine Dynasty’s service for ten thousand years would be a great help. Unfortunately…

“If you want the Fruit of Law… You should go to Mister Bu. I can’t give it to you since it is not mine,” the Divine Emperor said casually.

After saying that, he waved his hand. A eunuch flicked his whisk and sent the two visitors away with his shrill voice.

Reluctantly, Ah Mo took the crown princess and left the palace.

“Ah Mo, Bu Fang is really good…” Xiao Yanyu said, looking at the unhappy Ah Mo.

The Protector looked at the crown princess and saw that her eyes were full of confidence. It was not confidence in herself, however, but confidence in Bu Fang…

She sighed. ‘My crown princess is a bit silly… What should I do?’

On a sacred mountain in the Immortal Spirit Divine Dynasty, large, dark figures loomed in midair outside a magnificent, exquisitely built palace. Each of these figures was a powerful Numbered Soul Demon. Black smoke diffused from their bodies, turning the divine dynasty’s capital, which was like a paradise, into a land of Soul Demons.

In the palace’s great hall, Soul Thirteen sat on a high seat. His whole body had turned silvery-white, and behind him was a pair of unfurled silver insect wings, which clanged and burst with sharp energy at every move.

He turned his head slightly, and his neck made a clicking sound. In front of him were many hazy black balls, which imprisoned many people, including the listless Lord of the Phoenix and the Immortal Spirit Empress, who was left with only her divine sense form.

“A phoenix can rise from the ashes… Although it was killed several times by me, it still kept coming back to life… What a tough creature.”

Soul Thirteen rested his chin on his palm as the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. His scarlet eyes were fixed on the phoenix in the black ball. Suddenly, a black phoenix emerged from behind him, spreading its wings and uttering a melodious cry.

He opened his mouth, and the phoenix immediately swooped down and rushed into it, where it was completely absorbed… After a few moments, he wiped his mouth and felt his aura grew stronger.

Meanwhile, a black aura spread in the black ball. The listless phoenix’s clear eyes gradually become blurred. Soon, they turned scarlet, and a fierce, savage look filled them.

A pained look appeared on the face of the Immortal Spirit Empress, who was suspended next to the phoenix. Looking at the demonized phoenix, she felt a stab of pain in her heart.

“Well, this demonized Lord of the Phoenix can make up for my loss of the Dragon Emperor, who I’ve spent great effort to demonize…” Soul Thirteen grinned. Then, he rose from his seat. A terrifying black aura erupted from him, rolling and surging, while great pressure was weighing down on the void until it was on the verge of collapsing.

His eyes suddenly turned scarlet. With a flash of his figure, he appeared before the black ball and stared at the Empress.

“Hehehe… Do you know why I didn’t kill you?” Soul Thirteen said, staring at the Empress.

The Empress in the black ball spat angrily. ‘Damn these Soul Demons!’ She was filled with grief. ‘Is there no one in the Chaotic Universe who can stop them? Can they already do whatever they like? This Soul Thirteen’s strength has already far surpassed the Emperor realm and is very close to that of a Heavengod… It’s a nightmare for the entire Chaotic Universe!

‘Why haven’t the Heavengods of this Chaotic Universe appeared? Do they really want to stand by and watch humanity perish?’

Soul Thirteen shook his head, then opened his mouth and breathed out a puff of black smoke. His forehead slowly cracked open into what looked like an eye. The next moment, he reached a silver claw into the black ball and grabbed the Empress.

“An Emperor-level divine sense is the perfect candidate to witness the moment I become a Soul Overlord! You should feel proud!” Soul Thirteen grinned, his voice cold.

Rumble…

Outside, dark energy began to gather over the palace and turned into a huge vortex. All the Numbered Soul Demons’ breathing became faster and faster as they looked respectfully at the sky.

“It’s starting… Soul Thirteen is going to break through to the Soul Overlord realm!”

“Hehehe… The humans in this world will soon be completely reduced to our food!”

“I wonder which of the Seven Sins Soul Thirteen will become the Overlord of?”

At this moment, the whole Chaotic Universe was also undergoing a dramatic change.

Everyone’s heart seemed to beat faster as if a boulder had pressed down on their chests and made them gasp for breath. At the same time, the Gods who had comprehended the supreme Laws of the Universe found that their Power of Law began to boil out of their control.

It was as if they were angry and uneasy at the same time…
