Gourmet of Another World

‘Are you willing to accept the test?’ The System’s serious voice rang in Bu Fang’s head, rumbling like thunder.

Bu Fang frowned. ‘I’ve absorbed the energy of an alien race? Could it be the black figure that went into my spirit sea just now?’

After thinking for a moment, he replied seriously, ‘No.’

The System seemed speechless. After that, Bu Fang paid no more attention to its voice. He raised his head and rested his eyes on the huge painting that was unrolling in the sky.

Compared to the task of cooking a dish from the God of Cooking’s Menu, he felt the painting was more important. If he was right, the location where the ancient Heavengod died would be revealed when it was fully unrolled. Then, this trip’s task would be almost completed.

Rumble!

A huge amount of blood churned in the sky like a sea, and in the middle of that was an unrolled painting, which presented a vivid image.

Bu Fang focused his eyes and saw a large map on the painting. A red line was drawn across it, leading to a location, which attracted everyone’s eyes as if it possessed some magic power. He frowned.

The gatekeeper was also staring at the map, his wrinkled cheeks shivering. “‘That’s… Is that the lair of the existence ranked top on the Blood Beast King List?!” he said in a trembling voice.

As a famous figure on the God King List who had explored the ancient Heavengod’s relic for nearly ten thousand years, the old man was very familiar with everything here. He knew every place like the back of his hand, and he could find the right ways even with his eyes closed.

However, the place pointed out on the Heavengod’s Note was where he dared not to explore. That was the lair of the existence ranked number one on the Blood Beast King List, a forbidden zone for all living things. Even the average Blood Beast King would not dare to get too close there because once they accidentally intruded, they would be greeted by death.

“Why is the Note marked out at that location?” Bu Fang was puzzled.

The gatekeeper’s cheeks trembled, and he stared at Bu Fang as if he was looking at an idiot.

“The Note contains the location of the Heavengod’s treasure in this relic. Surely you’re here for the Heavengod’s treasures, such as the Heavengod’s divine power, Laws, and equipment,” the old man said as he pointed at the painting in the sky.

“Now, the Note has told you everything. The place the red line leads to is where blood once shed and the location of the Heavengod’s treasure… Do you have any idea how many people are searching for this Note? It never occurred to me that the real Note is with this fellow…”

The gatekeeper’s face was slightly flushed with excitement.

“There are seven Heavengod’s Notes. Six are fake, and only one is real… I can’t believe the real one is here! Now, with the location of the Heavengod’s treasure revealed, a bloody storm will soon descend upon the relic!”

His words shocked everyone, but soon, all eyes were gleaming with passion and excitement.

A Heavengod’s treasure! Heavengods were the supreme existences of the Chaotic Universe. There were only five of them now, each corresponding to one supreme Law of the Universe. Of course, there were many more Heavengods in ancient times.

The Note did not stay in the sky for long. Soon, it began to gradually crumble. Perhaps Tian Qiu had acquired it to attract humans, so he did not open it. Now that it was opened, it quickly vanished, together with all the blood that filled the sky.

Eventually, everything was gone, and the sky was bright and clear once again. The people looked at each other, and then their eyes turned red. Even the geniuses from the Immortal Spirit Divine Dynasty looked excited.

The location of the ancient Heavengod’s treasure was exposed. It was an opportunity for everyone. Even though they were weak, if they could acquire just a little bit of the treasure, it should still benefit them greatly! They exchanged glances and saw the excitement in each other’s eyes.

The high-grade God Kings were the most excited group, as they were the ones most likely to get the treasure.

An uproar broke out in an instant as all the experts sped away toward the distance, rushing to the location that was marked on the Heavengod’s Note.

Even the gatekeeper was tempted, but when he thought of that place, the heat in his heart died down as if a bucket of water was poured onto it. The place was just too… dangerous!

However, when he gave it a second thought, he realized that it was for that tiny chance that he had come to this relic. It just did not make sense for him to back away now when the chance had finally appeared.

He breathed out a long sigh, gave Bu Fang a deep look, turned, and flew away. He was going to chase his dream.

Bu Fang stood where he was. The City of God Kings was in ruins after the battle, and all the people had left after learning the location of the treasure from the Heavengod’s Note. Only Luo Sanniang and Summer stayed behind.

Foxy jumped up to his shoulder, stuck out her tongue, and licked his face. Then Luo Sanniang and Summer walked over and looked at him.

“Why don’t you go to the place marked on the Heavengod’s Note?” Bu Fang glanced at them and asked.

Summer smiled nonchalantly. “So what if I go? With my strength, I won’t be able to get anything.” She did not bother herself with things beyond her control. She knew her limit.

Luo Sanniang had the same attitude. She could have a fantasy like others, but… could fantasy feed her? Besides, she had a feeling that something major was about to happen in the relic.

The storm caused by those fearsome creatures and the Heavengod’s Note would bring about a terrible purge in the relic, and countless experts would fall. She felt she was safest to stay by Bu Fang’s side. It was her intuition. After all, Bu Fang had brought her too many surprises.

Bu Fang nodded. He could understand their thoughts. However, he had to go there. That could be the key to his completion of the System’s task, which required him to devour the Laws left behind by the Heavengod with his Divine flame. He wondered how strong the flame would become when he completed the task?

Suddenly, his stomach growled again. The corner of his mouth twitched. With a thought in his mind, he took out another dragon leg. Like before, he roasted it with the Divine flame until it was charred on the outside but still tender and juicy inside.

The three of them sat cross-legged down in the city while waiting for the dragon meat to cook. Summer and Luo Sanniang were drooling with the aroma in the air. There would always be delicious food to enjoy when they followed Bu Fang. Summer knew this very well because she had tasted the Blood Phoenix, and now, she was about to enjoy the Thunder Dragon’s leg!

Luo Sanniang’s cultivation base was too weak, and she was full after eating just a little bit. The meat came from a top-grade Blood Beast King, after all, so the energy contained in it was extremely terrifying. Summer ate slightly more than her, but Foxy alone devoured more meat than the two of them combined.

As for the remaining dragon meat, they were all finished by Bu Fang. The fact that he was a Demigod but could eat so much without being blown into pieces by the energy was nothing less than a miracle.

After eating to their hearts’ content, the three people and a fox left the City of God Kings, joining the rest in heading toward the place marked on the Note.

…

The news of the real Heavengod’s Note was found soon spread. Before too long, most of the God Kings in the relic had learned about it. Everyone was rushing madly toward the location in hope of acquiring the chance left behind by the Heavengod. They did not attach any extravagant hope to getting the treasure, but… what if luck struck? Fate was a thing that no one could predict!

Of course, there were also sensible people who recognized that their cultivation base was weak and choose not to go there. Instead, they seized the opportunity of having less competition to obtain more good things in the relic.

With almost all the experts heading to that place, the competitors in other places would be fewer. So the treasures and herbs left behind had become the possessions of these experts.

It was not exaggerated to say that a major storm was imminent.

…

At the dangerous zone of the relic…

A black hole emerged, and a man carrying a long sword on his back stepped out of it. He had a graceful air of a deity. With a thought in his mind, the sword rose into the sky, then he jumped up on it and began flying toward the place marked on the Note.

He was Yu Qiu, the top Sword God of the Xiayi Divine Dynasty and the one who ranked third on the God King List.

Meanwhile, at the head area…

A mountain was blown apart from inside and turned into a huge pit. A bald man walked out of it with gleaming eyes, leaving behind a deep footprint on the ground with every step. He was Xuan Kong, an expert with an incredibly tough fleshly body who ranked second on the God King List.

Loud whistles rang without end in the relic as one expert after another sped toward the location marked on the Heavengod’s Note.

…

In an icy cold pool surrounded by bones…

A few bubbles emerged on the smooth surface of the pool. Then, a black dog floated up, left the pool, and shook the water off his body. Holding a glinting Heavengod bone, the dog belched and strode away with cat-like steps.

In addition to human experts, many Blood Beast Kings were stirring as well. These fearsome beings ripped through the air and blotted the sky with their colossal bodies as they headed toward the same location. Even though that was the lair of the existence ranked number one on the Blood Beast King List, they were fearless when it came to seizing the rare chance.

…

In the assembly point of the safe zone…

The beacon fire was swaying. Tai Fei stood over the city, covered in blood. A cold look came over his face as he stuck out his tongue and licked his lips.

“Of the five Soul Overlords’ thrones, I, Soul Thirteen, have taken one right now!”

A hint of a smile brushed his lips. Behind him, corpses littered the safe zone, and numerous Soul Demons slowly raised their heads, their eyes flashing red…

…

In the capital of the Xiayi Divine Dynasty…

The door of the Divine Chef Temple opened, and Nethery walked slowly out of it. She wore no shoes, and her fair feet glowed with turquoise light. Over her head, a strange power similar to that of the Laws was moving slowly. Her cultivation base had grown stronger again.

Inside the palace, the old Divine Emperor opened his cloudy eyes. His gaze focused and seemed to have looked through the void at Nethery, who was shrouded in a turquoise light from top to bottom.

“The Cursed Goddess… awakened?”
