Gourmet of Another World

The seal was broken, and the spiritual energy had returned!

This was what the people present had been waiting for. They had rehearsed for a very long time for this event, hoping that they would be prepared when the spiritual energy returned and that its impact on mortals would be reduced.

Bu Fang was holding the divine sense ribbon in one hand, the other end of which linked to the Vermilion Bird. His attention now was not on the woman, though, but on the huge spinning black hole in the distance.

It was a shocking sight to behold. The water was spinning, turning into a huge black hole. Rumbling filled the air as water flowed into the hole as if it was being devoured.

Patriarch Penglai, Count Dracula, Poseidon, and the others were extremely excited. As they watched, their bodies shivered. They all knew what this meant, and they were aware of the significant impact the revival of spiritual energy had on the entire world.

A pillar of spiritual energy that almost took physical form erupted from the black hole, thrusting straight through the clouds and poked a hole in the sky. A thunderous rumbling sound exploded as the calm sky began to ripple like the surface of a lake.

“This is…” Patriarch Penglai looked up. All that was left in his eyes was the shocking scene. It was like the real work of the Gods!

At this moment, the sky turned colorful, and the whole Earth seemed to shake. There were other pillars of light shooting up into the sky at three other places on Earth. Those were the three other poles of Earth. Bu Fang was at the south, and the other three were at the north, east, and west.

Like a giant beast who had been lying dormant for a long time, the entire Earth seemed to wake up at this moment. The colorful sky was very beautiful. Suddenly, it began to rain. Colorful rainwater fell from the sky and turned into a curtain that veiled the whole world, bringing everyone a stunning visual impact.

“A spiritual energy rain! A real spiritual energy rain!” Patriarch Penglai burst out laughing. He spread his arms and let the rain fall on his palms. “I can feel it now… I can feel that the Immortals are returning!” He had never looked so excited. Taking off his hat, he bathed himself in the rain. When the water touched his skin, it was absorbed by his pores and then turned into wisps of rising steam.

Dense spiritual energy diffused across the air. All the people spread their arms, and they felt an overwhelming sense of physical and mental pleasure. Some people had not figured out what was going on, but they had a strong desire to shower themselves in the rain.

The Earth’s crust was moving, causing a violent tremor. At this moment, the ordinary people showered in the rain gave a cry of surprise. They found that their bodies began to change. Some had pointy horns grown out on their heads, some had eagle’s wings spread out on their backs, and some people were surrounded by swirling water.

For a moment, the people who had showered in the rain all possessed peculiar abilities! Their innate abilities had awakened!

“All mortals are the descendants of Gods, and they inherited the Gods’ innate abilities and powers… However, during the long years of reproduction, these abilities and powers had gone into a deep sleep in the depths of their bloodlines and would require stimulation to wake up… And this spiritual energy rain is the key to wake them up!”

There was a deep look in Poseidon’s eyes, and he laughed. He no longer wanted to fight Bu Fang for the immortal robe. The spiritual energy had recovered, and a great era was about to come. He needed to go and welcome those returning Gods!

A boom rang out as the sea under Poseidon’s feet exploded, turning into a long bridge of water. Standing on it, the water wriggled and pushed him toward the west at great speed. In just the blink of an eye, he was gone.

Patriarch Penglai gave Bu Fang a deep look. After that, he stepped on the clouds and sped away as well, heading toward Hua. Dracula and the Great Wizard also left hurriedly with an impatient look on their faces.

The spiritual energy rain made them understand that the real great era was coming. Those Gods, as well as Heaven Immortals and Immortal Kings who had left Earth, would probably begin to return soon!

The humans who had acquired special abilities were overjoyed. As they were close to the point where spiritual energy gushed out, they were the immediate beneficiaries. They all had a look of pure excitement that could not be concealed!

Yu Ge was surprised. He felt that his cultivation had improved significantly, breaking through the shackle of an Earth Qi cultivator and rushing into the level of a Heaven Qi cultivator! Was this the so-called fated encounter?

Chief Luo, Xiao Ai, the monk, and the other superhumans were astonished as well because their powers began to grow by leaps and bounds. They thought it was a gift from God!

The recovery of spiritual energy made the crowd’s amazement at Susanoo being killed disappear. Now, these people were immersed in the joy of having their abilities awakened.

Bu Fang stepped on the water. He glanced at them, and his expression remained unchanged. Was acquiring special abilities something to celebrate? Not really. The greater the power, the greater the danger and the harder it was to return to normal life. These people were too… young and naive.

He gave the huge hole a deep look. He could feel a terrible aura lingering in that black hole, and a sense of pressure coming from another universe. He could not believe that the sleeping place of the Artifact Spirit hid so many secrets.

The Artifact Spirits sealed wormhole portals, which connected to different universes. Now, one of the portals had opened. Bu Fang wondered if this was a good thing. In any case, he felt responsible to do something. He took a deep breath and fixed his eyes at the hole.

Suddenly, a violent rumbling sound echoed out. It woke the people from their joy, and they all jerked their heads around to look at the hole. Then, they saw… A terrifying creature was crawling out of it! The next moment, a bestial roar thundered, shaking everyone’s soul!

“What… What is that?!”

“It looks horrible… So huge!”

“Is that a… goat?!”

All eyes widened and stared at the huge goat’s head poking out of the black hole. A black aura was emanating from it.

“Isn’t this the… the mythical God of Death in some small country?!” Chief Luo cried out in shock.

As the director of the State Supernatural Agency’s Jiangdong branch, he knew far more things than the average person. Ever since the emergence of people with special powers, he had carefully studied the ancient myths and legends of many countries. He found that those Gods he had studied were very similar to superhumans. They could be said to be superhumans with stronger abilities and powers!

The huge creature that was crawling out of the black hole now had the head of a goat and the tail of a scorpion, which, he knew, was a legendary God of Death!

Bu Fang’s eyes flickered. The creature that was about to crawl out of the black hole had a very strong aura, which was even stronger than Poseidon. He raised a brow, sent out his divine sense, and was surprised to find that it could cover a wider range now. It was as though the recovery of spiritual energy had reduced the suppression that was put on him.

He did not spend too much time thinking about that, though. Loosening his grip on the divine sense ribbon that bound the Vermilion Bird, he stepped on air and bolted forward.

In the distance, the humans had woken up from their joy and were now enveloped by an aura of death. Even then, they were terrified to see that Bu Fang had sped away and floated over the head of the huge creature crawling out of the black hole.

The huge goat’s head was raised. Bu Fang did not know which country’s mythical god this creature was, but under his divine sense, he found that the fellow was teleported here through the wormhole portal, and many others were waiting in a line behind him.

He also discovered that the wormhole’s source would change. In other words, the universe behind the creature would only exist on Earth for a very short time, so the creature must crawl out of the black hole as quickly as possible. That got Bu Fang thinking about a lot of things.

‘Perhaps ancient Hua mythological figures were also teleported to Earth from other universes?’ Bu Fang raised his brows. It was a bold idea, but it was possible. ‘Perhaps when this universe disappears, the next universe to appear in the black hole will be the one to which the ancient Hua Immortals went?’

The more Bu Fang thought about it, the more likely it was. However, the most important thing for him to do now was, of course, to send this creature with a goat’s head back to where it came from.

“Damn mortals… Your God of Death is returning to Earth! Get out of the way!” the creature roared as his scarlet eyes fixed on Bu Fang. He had a goat’s head, the body of a man, and the tail of a scorpion. His aura was much stronger than that of Patriarch Penglai and the others, and he was more arrogant than them.

‘He asked me to get out of his way?’ The corner of Bu Fang’s mouth twitched. If it were not for the fact that the fellow only had a goat’s head, he would have killed him and made a roasted lamb out of him. As for now…

Bu Fang took a deep breath and raised his Taotie Arm. A vast amount of spiritual energy gathered around his fist as he thrust it at the goat’s head.

“What a stupid mortal! Scram!” The goat-headed creature glanced at Bu Fang with contempt. Then, he threw his head back, slamming his pointy horns toward the mortal.

The horns and Bu Fang’s fist collided. In the face of the Fiend God, Bu Fang was as tiny as a fly. However, as soon as his punch struck, the horns broke and shattered with a deafening boom! A great force exploded out, and for a moment, the entire Earth was shaking!

The Fiend God felt half of his head was crushed as the tremendous force threw him back into the black hole.

“NOOOOO!”

“I will be back!” the goat-headed creature growled as he was being pushed back through the hole.

All the people were struck dumb. Chief Luo shivered violently and thought to himself, ‘That’s the God of Death in the myths of a small country! A real God! I can’t believe Bu Fang actually knocked him back with a punch!’

Bu Fang clapped his hands. Looking at the black hole with its activity slowed down a little, he breathed a sigh of relief. What he did could only halt the black hole for a while and had no significant effect on the overall situation, but at least he had tried his best. After all, he was the one who created the black hole.

Suddenly, he heard a sonorous bird cry ringing out in the distance. That gave him pause. He turned to look in that direction and saw the woman was afire. The next moment, she broke free from the restriction of his divine sense, spread her wings, turned into a blazing Vermilion Bird, and sped into the distance.

‘She’s trying to flee from me!’ Bu Fang thought, the corner of his mouth twitching.

“You should all leave here now… This place is no longer safe,” Bu Fang said as he glanced at the crowd. After that, he stepped on air and chased after the Vermilion Bird.

Chief Luo and the others were frozen to the spot. Yu Ge, on the other hand, was shocked. “That blazing bird… Why does it look like… the divine beast who guards the South in Hua’s myths? The Vermilion Bird?” he said stupidly.

A rumbling sound rang out from the black hole, and a vast amount of spiritual energy kept gushing out of it. The people who had witnessed what just happened understood that dangers were approaching, so they all rushed toward the Jewel. Once all the people were on board, the cruise ship let out a piercing air horn and began to sail toward the coastline of Hua.

Everyone on the ship realized that the world was about to change significantly. However, what they did not expect was that not long after the cruise ship began to move, they witnessed the transformation.
