The changes in the entire Chaotic Universe made everyone a little panicked. Many people were looking up at the sky, where the void was bubbling like boiling water. The sight made their hearts beat faster and faster.
“What’s that? What’s going to happen?”
Many people exclaimed in a panic.
The Xiayi Divine Emperor stood in front of the magnificent palace, watching the changes in the sky with no joy or sadness. His heart was filled with a horrible feeling that made his pores shrink. He had never felt anything like this before. In fact, he did not feel this even when he was transcending the Heavengod’s Tribulation.
He knew very well that something big was about to happen, and it could cause a major change in the entire Chaotic Universe. He also knew that there was only one possibility—a new Heavengod or an expert of the equivalent level was going to be born.
“Is Soul Thirteen going to become a Heavengod?” The Xiayi Divine Emperor’s pupils constricted, and his face looked a little depressed. “A Heavengod… Why is there no restriction on the Soul Demon breaking through to the Heavengod realm? There are only seats enough for five Heavengods, so if a human being wants to become a Heavengod, he would have to get rid of an old Heavengod first…”
It was extremely difficult for humans to become Heavengods. Even the Xiayi Divine Emperor, who had transcended the tribulation, was far from reaching this realm. That was why he always thought that this thing would not happen. But now, it was beginning to happen.
Soul Thirteen was about to break through to the Heavengod realm. He had always thought that this Soul Demon had reached the limit of his strength.
“The Heavengods won’t let him become another Heavengod so easily…” The Divine Emperor’s eyes sparkled with hope. In his heart, he still believed in the Heavengods of this Chaotic Universe.
In the restaurant on the top floor of the Luo Family’s skyscraper, Bu Fang was lying in a recliner, looking up at the sky that had changed color, his face devoid of emotions.
Nethery sat on the deck of the Netherworld Ship, swinging her long fair legs and looking at the sky like Bu Fang. In a corner of the restaurant, Er Ha was chatting happily with Luo Sanniang’s girlfriends.
Everything seemed just as it had always been.
Bu Fang took a deep breath and sat up in his recliner. For some reason, he was always feeling a little uneasy inside. He exhaled, stood up, and went into the kitchen.
The restaurant was open today as usual.
…
In a luxurious mansion in the Xiayi Divine Dynasty’s capital…
Ah Mo looked up, her eyes seemingly rippling. As she looked at the sky, a feeling of despair spread through her heart.
“The Soul Demons’ attack is about to begin… I wonder if the Xiayi Divine Dynasty can hold them off? Her Majesty said the crown princess is the only hope for mankind…”
With eyes gleaming with determination, she clenched her fists, stood up, and walked in the direction of Bu Fang’s restaurant. She had already found out that the so-called Lord of the Divine Chef Temple was actually Bu Fang.
If she wanted to maximize the crown princess’s talent, she must acquire the seven-colored Fruit of Law. Only with the fruit could the crown princess comprehend the fifth supreme Law of the Universe, become a peerless genius, and save humanity from complete annihilation.
“No matter what, I must find a way to get that chef to agree.”
Ah Mo’s eyes became very sharp as she left the mansion and flew toward Bu Fang’s restaurant.
…
Meanwhile, in the imperial palace of the Immortal Spirit Divine Dynasty…
Soul Thirteen stood where he was. In front of him, the demonized Lord of the Phoenix was shaking in the black ball. Even the Immortal Spirit Empress was struggling, but she could not break free from Soul Thirteen’s grasp.
The Soul Demon’s eyes narrowed slightly as if he was in deep thought. Suddenly, his eyeballs moved, and he slowly lifted the Empress upward. At the same time, his forehead split open, revealing a slit.
The Empress kept struggling, but she was firmly pressed onto Soul Thirteen’s forehead, slowly seeping into the slit that had opened up…
As soon as the Empress was completely pressed into the slit, the aura around Soul Thirteen began to boil. The corners of his mouth twitched as the last little dark shade on his insect scales vanished. With a flash of light, his body seemed to be coated with a layer of mercury, turning completely silver.
Rumble!
The next moment, a deafening rumble echoed out in the sky, and then a bolt of lightning the size of a man’s arm came crashing down from high above toward the palace.
Soul Thirteen focused his eyes and burst out laughing. His voice seemed to have a strange power, for it spread in an instant and reached the ears of every Soul Demon.
These Soul Demons instantly became very excited. They waved their fists and roared with excitement as their insect scales opened up and spewed out black smoke. The moment they had been waiting for a long time was finally coming!
Soul Thirteen… was about to break through the Soul Overlord realm!
Boom!
Bolts of lightning kept falling. Soul Thirteen’s forehead glowed as he spread his arms, his insect scales glistening silver. Bathed in lightning, he looked very comfortable, so much so that he wanted to moan.
This was the punishment from the Will of this Chaotic Universe. Now that he was going to become a Soul Overlord, he naturally alarmed the Will of this Chaotic Universe. Still, Soul Thirteen had confidence in himself. He was not afraid at all, even though the punishment was terribly powerful.
Boom! Boom!
Lightning continued to fall, each with a dreadful force comparable to the full-power blow from a high-grade God King. However, none of them could cause even the slightest harm to Soul Thirteen. The defense of the silver insect scales on his body was too strong.
He closed his scarlet eyes and was comprehending the most profound mystery of this Chaotic Universe.
It was not that easy to become a Soul Overlord. Just as there was a limit to the number of Heavengods in this Chaotic Universe, there was also a limit to the number of Soul Overlords. Moreover, becoming a Soul Overlord required the Sin bestowed by the Soul God.
If Soul Thirteen wanted to become a Soul Overlord, he would have to acquire the Sin. Only in this way could he become a true Soul Overlord.
If he were still in the Soul Demon’s original Chaotic Universe, it might be very difficult for him to succeed. However, the Seven Sins of this Chaotic Universe had never been occupied by any Soul Demon at all. Therefore, it was actually very easy for him to become a Soul Overlord.
Rumble!
The lightning bolts were getting stronger and stronger. Soul Thirteen was always on guard. Ever since he knew there were Heavengods in this Chaotic Universe, who were not weaker than Soul Overlords, he had been very careful. Except for the one time when he struck out at that stinky chef, he had been careful to develop his power and tried not to attract the attention of those Heavengods.
Even though the Heavengods never appeared, that did not stop Soul Thirteen from being afraid of them. If he wanted to become a Soul Overlord, he needed to know how to follow his heart.
The whole imperial palace of the Immortal Spirit Divine Dynasty seemed to be on the verge of becoming a sea of thunder. In the heart of this sea of thunder, Soul Thirteen felt his strength growing and becoming so much stronger than before. It was a qualitative change that perfectly fused his Soul Demon’s will and his flesh.
Rumble…
After a long time, the bolts of lightning finally disappeared. All the Soul Demons were watching feverishly.
Soul Thirteen’s silver wings spread open as if to envelop the entire universe. His eyes turned scarlet, and his will spread out in all directions.
A humming sound filled the air as he began to chant under his breath. His tone was respectful, and his language was complicated and mysterious. As he chanted, his body radiated a wave of devotion.
The surrounding Soul Demons all knelt on the ground and watched respectfully at the transformations that were taking place in Soul Thirteen.
One by one, black balls of energy emerged around him. They represented the power of the origin, which seemed to be forcibly extracted from this universe. They did not belong to this universe, but they came from this universe.
Soul Thirteen opened his eyes, grinning, and looked at the seven black energy balls hovering around him. How he wished he could devour all seven of them, but he could not. They were the Power of the Seven Sins. He could only absorb one of them and then become a Soul Overlord with that one. He could not touch the second Sin—the punishment for greed was more than he could bear.
He did not dwell on it for long. He raised his hand, jerked it out, and grabbed one of them. The black energy ball swirled, dispersed, then slowly burrowed into every pore on his body.
After a while, a vertical eye gradually took shape on his forehead. As it turned, a monstrous, sinful aura burst out of it!
“The Seven Sins: pride, jealousy, rage, laziness, greed, gluttony, and lust… Any one of these Sins could make me a Soul Overlord, and I’ve chosen…”
Soul Thirteen’s eyes widened. His mouth began to grow larger at a rate visible to the naked eye, and his throat seemed to turn into a bottomless pit. Then, a terrible hunger consumed him in an instant.
“I, Soul Thirteen… choose to be a… Gluttony Soul Overlord!”
…
The color of the sky changed.
The restaurant closed for the day. Looking at the growing turnover, Bu Fang did not feel the slightest bit of relief. Instead, he felt a vague worry lingering within him. He frowned and sighed. Putting his hands behind his back, he left the restaurant.
He quietly came to the ancient Heavengod’s inheritance.
Heavengods were the strongest beings in this Chaotic Universe. By rights, they should have shown up after those Soul Demons created so much trouble, but they did not. Could it be that the Heavengods do not care about the lives of the living beings in the Chaotic Universe? With their strength, any one of them was capable of wiping out those Soul Demons in the blink of an eye.
Bu Fang was only a chef, but every man was responsible for the survival of the universe. He felt that since he lived in this world, he needed to contribute his power.
Looking at the Fruit of Law in the seal, he focused his eyes. He could sense something unusual in this matter.
Were the Heavengods unable to make a move because of some restriction, or were they deliberately not making a move?
‘Are they restricted from making a move?’ Bu Fang twitched the corner of his mouth. He still remembered the slap the Heavengod had given him, which proved that they were not restricted from making a move. ‘Then why on earth are they not showing up?’
Bu Fang frowned and stepped into the seal.
Rumbling filled the air as the seal began to rotate.
…
In the Great Netherworld, a huge tree towering into the clouds swayed its branches as if it were lashing at the stars. A figure could be seen sitting on one of the branches, dangling his legs as his eyes looked out into the depths of the vast Chaotic Universe.
A stream of cloudy yellow liquor was poured into a cup. The man, who was as beautiful as a woman, slowly poured the wine from the cup into his mouth.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk… good wine!”
Mu Hongzi lightly shook the jar in his hand, causing the wine inside to produce a splashing sound. He took a deep breath and then exhaled, his breath smelling of alcohol.
“Looks like it’s about to start… I wonder if that boy Bu Fang will survive this calamity. If he can’t make it through, there’s nothing I can do… In the worst-case scenario, he would just have to be reincarnated again.”
Mu Hongzi smiled, and his beautiful face seemed to burst into a blaze of light that caused the stars to become darker.
“What do you think… Myriad Treasure?” he said.
Under him, the Immortal Tree swayed gently as if in response, its leaves brushing against each other to fill the air with a rustling sound.
