“Because you’re no ordinary chef…” Suiren’s voice lingered in Bu Fang’s ear.

Bu Fang could not help but roll his eyes. He was certainly not an ordinary chef. In fact, his cooking skills had long since gone beyond the imagination of mortals. Even so, he was still far from the level he had always dreamed of, so he was not too proud. To him, being humble was very important.

“Ever since there has been life in the world, there has been food, and all things between heaven and earth can be turned into food. This is what a Saint once told me, and I’m passing it to you now.” Suiren chuckled. Then, he put his hands behind him and turned to look at the cave.

Two figures sat cross-legged in the depths of the cave. Their aura was vigorous as if connecting heaven and earth, and they were suppressing the demonic energy in the cave.

Standing next to Suiren, Bu Fang seemed to think of something, and he asked, “Senior, is the enemy you speak of the Soul Demons?”

Tongtian had completed his breakthrough. He had yet to consolidate his Great Path, but at his level, he no longer needed to do it in a hurry. After becoming a Saint of the Great Path, he was immortal and had unlimited time to do whatever he wanted to. He could consolidate at a later time.

He landed in front of Bu Fang and Suiren with a grave face. The matters in the world were very esoteric and complicated. When an individual was in the world, it was like being in a mountain and not being able to see what was going on in the distance. After he became a Saint, Tongtian finally jumped out of the confines and was able to see more.

He took a deep breath and looked at the monstrous demonic energy in the cave. The two figures sitting in it were Saints of the Great Path too, he had no doubt, but in his perception, their aura was like the light of a firefly and seemed to be on the verge of dying off.

“Soul Demons? Yes and no…” Suiren sighed and looked somewhat distressed. He took out another piece of flesh cut from the thigh of a top Numbered Soul Demon, shoved a wooden stick through it, and prepared to grill it over the campfire. However, he suddenly remembered that he had already given the fire to Bu Fang.

“Hey, lad, lend me your fire,” he said, turning to Bu Fang.

Bu Fang hurriedly snapped his fingers. The evolved divine fire, or what could be called the sacred primordial fire, suddenly appeared at his fingertip, then fell to the ground and turned into a campfire.

Suiren sat down in front of the cave entrance and began to grill the Soul Demon meat. “I don’t know how many more meals of Soul Demon meat I can eat… So I’ll eat while I can. We all have to cherish what we have now,” he said.

Both Bu Fang and Tongtian were slightly taken aback by his emotional words. They could hear a hidden message in what he said.

“Why do you say that, Your Excellency?”

“Senior…”

Bu Fang and the Sect Leader spoke at the same time. Suiren glanced up at them, then pointed to the cave while he was grilling the meat. “Those two old fellows in there are suppressing the enemy,” he said. “But as time goes by, the enemy is getting stronger, and an even stronger enemy is awakening…

“I don’t know how much longer they can hold off the enemy. When they collapse, I’ll have to take their place. Over the years, I’ve killed countless beasts that had crossed the line, and I’ve eaten them all. The enemy eats people, and I eat the enemy. This is the circle of life, and it goes on endlessly.”

Suiren laughed.

“Lad, you have to be careful when you cook on the Ancestral Planet. Don’t be targeted by the enemy that is about to awaken. As a chef, you are their nemesis,” he said in all earnestness.

After that, he removed the Soul Demon meat that had become purple from the fire, then began to tear off chunks of flesh with his fingers and ate them with enjoyment.

“Your Excellency… Why don’t you leave here and go to the Primitive Universe to ask for help? We don’t even know…”

“The Primitive Universe? The Ancestral Planet is the birthplace of the human race and connects all the major universes. Do you see those black holes? Behind each hole is a vast universe. Even though the Gods and Immortals have moved into different universes, they’re probably having a headache to deal with the enemies now,” said Suiren.

“In these past years, as the Ancestral Planet’s spiritual energy was sealed, the cosmic passages had stopped working, thus impeding the advance of the enemy. However, with the recovery of spiritual energy, they began to operate again. I fear the enemy will attack in great forces… You guys should go back as soon as you finish your business.”

Tongtian was in a daze. After a while, he frowned and said, “Does Your Excellency mean that the Saints of the Primitive Universe are also fighting against the invading enemy?”

“Yes… How else could there be only one such weak Saint of the Great Path return after the Ancestral Planet’s spiritual energy is restored?” Suiren smacked his mouth.

Bu Fang fell silent.

“Lad, go back as soon as you’re done with your business… Protect yourself and develop your strength carefully. Perhaps in the future, we will need you to fight that strongest enemy.” Suiren stuffed the whole piece of meat into his mouth and said while chewing, “After all, you are not an ordinary chef.”

‘Does he know that I’ve returned from the Chaotic Universe?’ Bu Fang took a deep breath. Suiren’s glittering eyes made him wordless for a moment.

A rumbling sound could be heard coming from inside the cave, and the demonic energy was surging. Suddenly, the aura of the two Saints, which were faint and weak as fireflies, became extremely powerful.

A Taiji symbol appeared above the head of one of the Saints, transforming into an array that held up against the impact of the demonic energy. However, the Saint’s body was trembling slightly. Meanwhile, countless divine herbs appeared around the other Saint, and then they also transformed into an array.

“Well, I’ve said what I need to say. I’m going to continue guarding here. You guys should go now.” Suiren glanced at the cave and stood up.

Looking at him, Tongtian frowned. “Your Excellency, you can leave with us… Where there’s life, there’s hope. Besides, I can ask my master for help. He is a Chaotic Saint, so he’ll definitely be able to solve this crisis.”

“There’s life, there’s hope? Haha… Unfortunately, I’m the emperor of the human race. Behind me is the Ancestral Planet, the birthplace of humanity. Countless people need me to protect them. Anyone can retreat but not me.”

Suiren burst out laughing. He wiped the grease off his lips, then turned and walked into the cave, sat cross-legged on the ground, facing the black hole. He no longer moved as if he had turned into a stone statue.

The Sect Leader’s gaze became much deeper as he looked at Suiren’s back, and his face was filled with admiration. Suiren’s willingness to sacrifice for humanity impressed him greatly.

As Bu Fang and Tongtian looked at the cave with complicated expressions, the void twisted and distorted, and everything in front of them gradually turned into a boundless universe. Finally, the cave that floated in the clouds disappeared.

“Let’s go, fellow Daoist Bu,” Tongtian said, his voice full of rage.

Bu Fang nodded, then flew toward Earth with him. Before he left, he turned to look at the empty void and activated his God of Cooking’s eye.

The cave immediately appeared in his eyes. He could see three figures that looked tiny but gave off an aura like that of a giant sitting cross-legged in it, resisting the demonic energy that was strong enough to destroy heaven and earth.

His eyes narrowed. Suddenly, he felt that the burden on his shoulders had become even heavier. He had one more reason to become the God of Cooking now.

…

“Fellow Daoist, I’ll now return to Penglai to organize the Immortals who have returned. The Ancestral Planet is the birthplace of the human race. I am not a talented person, but now that I have become a Saint, I am not going to back down easily. The human emperor is at the forefront holding off the enemy, so I will be his backup and guard the Ancestral Planet.

“If an enemy comes, I will kill one enemy! If a group of enemies comes, I will kill the whole group! I will show them that the wrath of a Saint of the Great Path can bleed the stars!

The Sect Leader sat on the back of his Kuiniu, hovering thousands of miles above the ground, his whole body emitting a strong murderous air. With his fiery temper, he could not watch Suiren resist the enemy alone. Therefore, he would stay on Earth, and once Suiren could not hold the front line, he could still resist the enemy’s invasion from Earth.

Bu Fang took a deep breath and glanced at Tongtian, thinking that his straightforward temper was cute. “Don’t worry. With the three emperors guarding the front line, the enemy won’t be able to get through so easily. Besides, I once killed a Soul Overlord, and they’re not too strong,” he said.

“I hope so!” Tongtian burst out laughing. Then, he rode the Kuiniu and sped away, disappearing into the horizon.

After he had gone a long way, the Sect Leader’s face grew very unsightly. Perhaps because of his lower rank, Bu Fang could not see it. Tongtian was a Saint of the Great Path now, and because of his solid foundation, he was one of the top Saints. Therefore, he could tell the state of the three emperors.

He knew that the situation was not good, but he would still stay on the Ancestral Planet. If the front was lost, he would certainly lay down the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Array on Earth and kill all the invading enemies.

…

Bu Fang landed in Jiangdong City. His mood was a little heavy. He might not be able to sense the state of the three emperors, but he knew that Soul Demons were not so easy to deal with. There were Soul Overlords above Numbered Soul Demons, and there were seven of them in the Soul Demon Universe.

However, that did not mean that there were only seven Soul Overlords. Soul Demons like Soul Thirteen had invaded other universes. They slaughtered, multiplied, and evolved, and eventually became new Soul Overlords. So, Bu Fang had no idea how many Soul Overlords were out there.

Moreover, on top of these Soul Overlords was the Soul God! According to Bu Fang’s guess, the Soul God should be at the same level as the God of Cooking he wanted to become so bad.

“This is so stressful!” Bu Fang did not know since when his path to become the God of Cooking become so stressful. He felt that he could not take a wrong step because once he did, he would be wiped out, and it would be a nightmare, a nightmare for all the universes.

Bu Fang stood in the street with a grave expression, deep in thought. Traffic and hurrying pedestrians were all around him. Everything on Earth looked so peaceful and beautiful. However, what was hidden behind this beauty was the coming slaughtering.

“Hmm?” Suddenly, Bu Fang narrowed his eyes and turned to look into the distance. There, a blond man with huge sunglasses was talking to a tall, shy-looking beauty.

Bu Fang raised his brows when he sensed the man’s aura.

“Goldie!” he yelled. But the blond man did not respond. “Golden Dragon!” he shouted again. The man remained unmoved. He narrowed his eyes, and fury flashed in them.

“Nicholas the Handsome Dragon…” Bu Fang shouted in a deep voice this time.

The blond man jerked his head up and pulled down his sunglasses. “Who? Who’s calling this handsome dragon?!”
