In the majestic palace of the Xiayi Divine Dynasty...
The Divine Emperor sat on the throne, his brows furrowed as if sothing was bothering him. He had just survived the Heavengod Tribulation, which should have been a joyous event, but for him, there was sothing even more disturbing.
Although Bu Fang said they were just taking what they needed from the situation, he did not think so. For him, Bu Fang was injured because of him, and those cooking utensils were destroyed to fend off the Heavengod’s slap. This made him feel a little guilty.
He leaned sideways in the throne, stroking his chin. After the threat of the calamity was gone, he had taken a magic pill that temporarily suppressed the aging of his physical body, so he now had the mood to consider other matters. After thinking for a while, the Divine Emperor turned to a young eunuch standing respectfully at the side and said, “Xiao Fu, summon King Pingyang.”
The eunuch paused briefly, then bowed and left the great hall.
After being inford through a special voice transmitting thod, King Pingyang ca as fast as he could. He was sowhat excited and flattered that he was the first person the Divine Emperor summoned after the calamity.
“Hu Pingyang... I know you have a good relationship with Mister Bu. I’m going to give you a task now...” The Divine Emperor cleared his throat after saying that.
“This old subject will complete the task at all costs!” Hu Pingyang bowed and said.
“Good... Mister Bu’s cooking utensils were destroyed because of , and I feel sowhat guilty. I’ll give you so money to gather the best cooking utensils in the divine dynasty... If those Heaven Divine Chefs are willing to sell their utensils, pay them and send the utensils to... Mister Bu,” the Divine Emperor said.
He had been paying close attention to Bu Fang, and he knew this little chef was soone highly valued by Mu Hongzi. Moreover, Bu Fang had saved him once. So, he did not skimp on spending money on Bu Fang.
That gave King Pingyang pause. He did not expect the Divine Emperor to value Bu Fang so much. It was not easy to demand the best cooking utensils from those Heaven Divine Chefs, but if he could not get them, he could just pay them with money. Having money definitely made things easier, and the divine dynasty was very rich.
...
In the restaurant’s kitchen, Bu Fang sighed and picked up the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife. Before, the knife glowed goldenly and would let out a dragon roar whenever he picked it up, but it was dull and had lost all its luster now, looking just like a shabby kitchen knife.
With a thought, his divine sense surged and rushed into the knife. A humming sound rang out, and the knife flickered with a faint light.
Crack...
Suddenly, Bu Fang’s expression froze, and he hastily stopped injecting his divine sense. Looking at the kitchen knife, which had gained an extra crack and seed to be on the verge of shattering, he twitched the corner of his mouth. He was really badly hurt this ti.
In his spirit sea, the four Artifact Spirits had fallen into a deep sleep in the fog and would not respond no matter how he summoned them. The once lively spirit sea was now extrely quiet.
The power of the Heavengod’s slap was terrifying, and it had seriously wounded Bu Fang. However, his spirit sea was still perfectly fine because of the God of Cooking’s nu. The only thing missing were the four Artifact Spirits, and for a mont, he could not quite get used to it.
‘System, is there any way to fix the God of Cooking Set?’ Bu Fang sighed and asked the System. However, the System did not answer. Apparently, it did not know how to solve this problem either.
The divine sense could not fix the God of Cooking Set. If he sent his divine sense into them, it would further damage them. “What should I do?” Bu Fang was distressed. A few monts later, he put these cooking utensils away, since he could not think of a solution now.
He frowned, and his eyes grew serious. With a thought, he began to examine the condition in his body. Although the Heavengod’s slap was fended off, so of its force remained in him.
“A Heavengod is... truly mighty.” The corner of his mouth twitched, his eyes narrowing and gleaming coldly. There was an invisible force constantly destroying his body. However, the Heavengod skeleton had withstood the destruction and kept his body in a stable state for the ti being. He looked like an ordinary man now, but ordinary ant rubbish. The Heavengod’s force clung to him like a maggot to a piece of rotting at.
Bu Fang focused his eyes. The next mont, a seven-colored fruit erged in his hand. It was the Fruit of Law. After completing the task, he had received this fruit as a reward. To him, it was a tily help.
A Fruit of Law should be able to let him comprehend another Law, and it was highly likely to be a supre Law of the Universe. Bu Fang even wondered if he could conjure up a miracle to help the God of Cooking Set recover if he managed to comprehend all five supre Laws of the Universe.
Holding the colorful fruit, Bu Fang opened his mouth and gave it a bite. The juice splashed, and the pulp slid into his mouth instantly. A humming sound rang out while the familiar feeling and process ca back to him. In just a flash, he was in the sa Sea of Laws.
Walking leisurely through it, he soon ca to the depths of the sea, where a strong aura of Law was spreading. Bu Fang felt he had gotten used to it. A beam of light flashed, and then he opened his eyes. There was no ripple at all, and it was so quiet as if he had just drunk a glass of water. However, he had comprehended another supre Law of the Universe.
He now possessed four supre Laws, but he remained calm, almost emotionless. He was already used to it, but if the others were to learn this, it would most likely cause a great storm. Who, since the beginning of ti, had comprehended so many supre Laws of the Universe? An individual who had comprehended four supre Laws could no longer be called a gifted genius!
The fact that Bu Fang had comprehended three supre Laws was already enough to shock the whole Chaotic Universe, and now... It was simply terrifying. Of course, no one knew yet that he had comprehended the fourth supre Law of the Universe. His heart was no longer full of surprises and excitent—he was as calm as if he had just drunk a glass of water.
Frowning, he lifted his hand, and the profound Power of Law rushed out of his palm. This ti, he had comprehended the Law of Life. It was unexpected but understandable. It was the sa supre Law Er Ha had comprehended, which gave him the ability to resist being beaten.
With a thought in his mind, the Law of Life spread out with a humming sound and seeped into his flesh, trying to expel the force the Heavengod had left in him. He had not been able to do it, but he managed to suppress the force that was causing him pain. “Never mind, I’ll go slowly.”
Bu Fang felt sowhat sad. Yes, he had comprehended four supre Laws of the Universe, but so what? Without his God of Cooking Set, cooking beca boring. He sighed. He found himself getting a little emotional lately. The destruction of the God of Cooking Set saddened him.
He took out one food ingredient after another, washed them, and then cut them into appropriate sizes. Bu Fang had no way to use the power in him, so he could not use his energy to materialize cooking utensils. As a result, he could only cook with the basic utensils in the kitchen, which were prepared by the System.
Inside the wok, oil was sparkling and bubbling. Bu Fang added the cut dragon ribs into the wok. A sizzling sound filled the air as white forms tumbled over the oil. He grabbed a pair of chopsticks and stirred the ribs. A short while later, he scooped out the ribs and placed them in a blue-and-white porcelain bowl. After that, he sprinkled the seasonings, added the sweet-and-sour sauce, and began to mix them by stirring. Soon, a bowl of steaming Sweet ‘n’ Sour Dragon Ribs was ready.
Bu Fang brought the bowl of Sweet ‘n’ Sour Dragon Ribs up to his nose, sniffed at its aroma, and gave a deep sigh. It was hard to cook without his own cooking utensils. It was like when soone who was used to driving a fancy car suddenly drove a van—there was always a slight feeling of discomfort and a hint of sadness.
Carrying the bowl, Bu Fang walked out of the kitchen. All the people in the restaurant perked up.
“This aroma... It’s the Sweet ‘n’ Sour Ribs!” Lord Dog’s eyes lit up, and he rose to his feet under the Path-Understanding Tree, his fat jiggling. His figure flickered, and the next mont, he was standing on a chair with his front paws placed on the table. He could not wait to eat.
Bu Fang placed the bowl of Sweet ‘n’ Sour Ribs before Lord Dog and said, “Eat, eat...”
Lord Dog’s mouth watered. It was his favorite Sweet ‘n’ Sour Ribs! Without hesitation, he buried his face into the bowl and began to attack the ribs.
At so point, Er Ha ca to Bu Fang’s side and said seriously, “Bu Fang young man, cheer up. You are the man who wants to beco the God of Cooking, so your pursuit of spirit should be higher than the pursuit of material things!”
Bu Fang glanced at him, twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, and said, “What you said makes sense. From today on, you will no longer get spicy strips.”
Er Ha’s face froze in an instant. “Well, we do need to pursue the basics... Bu Fang young man, I feel sorry for what you’re going through. Let’s grieve together!” He quickly raised a hand and covered half of his face, his eyes full of unutterable sorrow.
‘What a poser!’ Bu Fang thought as he looked at Er Ha.
Life went on without the God of Cooking Set. However, the business of the restaurant had beco better. Perhaps because of Bu Fang’s fa, and possibly the Divine Emperor’s promotion, the restaurant’s business was booming. Every day before dawn, there was already a long queue at the door, and the whole top floor of the skyscraper was packed with people.
Bu Fang’s revenue had increased a lot, and his sorrowful mood was slightly eased when he looked at the increasing figures.
...
The Titan Divine Emperor had returned to the Titan Divine Dynasty and made big changes to his howorld. When the news was reported to the Xiayi Divine Emperor, he could not help but frown. ‘When did he co here?’
Even though the calamity was over, the Xiayi Divine Emperor was in no mood to relax. He knew that a terrible disaster was waiting to happen. Those horrible creatures multiplied faster and faster, and they grew stronger and stronger like a demon in the dark, ready to turn into a dreadful storm and bring the entire Chaotic Universe a monstrous disaster.
The Divine Emperor of the Immortal Spirit Divine Dynasty had sent another emissary group to discuss the terrible creatures and bring the news back. Now, all three divine dynasties were on alert. The Titan Divine Dynasty even built a defensive line to keep out the investigation and entry of the other two divine dynasties, as if it had completely isolated itself.
This strange behavior puzzled the two divine dynasties, but they did not probe further. According to the news they obtained, the Titan Divine Emperor’s warship was attacked by those terrible creatures when he was on his way to the Xiayi Divine Dynasty. All the experts on the warship were killed, including his favorite general, Tai Shan. The Divine Emperor was the only survivor. This tragedy plunged the whole divine dynasty in grief.
...
King Pingyang’s face bead with excitent. He ca to the skyscraper owned by the Luo Family, pushed through the crowd, and arrived in front of the restaurant. Then, he stepped through the door. He was not here to dine but to see Bu Fang.
The Divine Emperor asked him to collect the best cooking utensils, and he had finally completed the task after working hard for so ti. He had convinced those divine chefs with his glib tongue and spent a significant amount of money to gather all these utensils. So of them ca from top-grade Earth Divine Chefs and so from Heaven Divine Chefs. These were all the best cooking utensils in the Xiayi Divine Dynasty, and they were considered supre utensils even in the whole Chaotic Universe.
‘That should ease Mister Bu’s grief!’ he thought.
Bu Fang wiped his hands with a piece of clean white cloth, walked out of the kitchen, and looked suspiciously at King Pingyang, who appeared to be very excited. “What do you want?” he asked.
King Pingyang looked at Bu Fang and said gently, “I’ve sothing good to show Mister Bu. Please do not blink, Mister Bu.” He rubbed his palms, then, with a thought in his mind, shafts of bright light thrust out from his hand. The next mont, a bright blue kitchen knife erged, exuding a very powerful aura. This was a top-grade kitchen knife.
“This is a cooking utensil that His Majesty had bought from a Heaven Divine Chef for millions of source stones, and His Majesty asked to give it to Mister Bu, hoping that it would ease Mister Bu’s grief,” said King Pingyang.
The eyes of the people around them were attracted. The kitchen knife was too beautiful, so much so that it dazzled their eyes.
Bu Fang paused for a mont. ‘He’s giving this kitchen knife to ease my grief?’ Narrowing his eyes, he reached out a hand and grabbed the blue kitchen knife.
Rumble!
As soon as he grabbed the kitchen knife, Bu Fang felt a blue whale growling at him in it. ‘Oh? How dare a re Artifact Spirit growl at ?’ His divine sense surged slightly, and the true-form of his divine sense sitting over the God of Cooking’s nu imdiately opened its eyes. In the next instant, the pressure that contained the God of Cooking’s aura exploded out of Bu Fang, and a beam of light shot straight at the blue whale.
The Artifact Spirit’s growl ca to an abrupt stop. Then, it gradually scattered away without even making a sound.
King Pingyang looked at Bu Fang expectantly. Suddenly, his face froze. He heard a cracking sound, then found that the blue kitchen knife in Bu Fang’s hand... was covered with cracks.
‘What the f*ck... That’s my own millions of source stones!’ King Pingyang shuddered as he tried his best not to howl. His old bones seed to be making a cracking sound as he felt a pain in his heart.
