The emergence of the Temple of Heavengod Space shocked everyone. However, it was a fact that Heavengod Space had not returned yet.
Even Lord Dog was puzzled.
By rights, only the return of the Heavengod would cause the broken Temple of Heavengod to appear, just like how Er Ha’s awakening had triggered the return of the Temple of Heavengod Life.
Bu Fang was not bothered by that. Instead, he was slightly surprised by its emergence, for he could now enter it and learn more about the way to travel to Void City.
The one hundred years had made Bu Fang much more composed. However, he still remembered clearly the scene when Nethery was taken away. He had promised her that he would go to Void City to look for her, and now it was almost time for that promise to be fulfilled.
The ruined temple appeared on the land of the Chaos Space with an ancient and broken aura, standing naturally as if it was there since the beginning of time.
Bu Fang and Lord Dog stood before it. They exchanged a glance. Then, without hesitation, they stepped into the temple together.
The inside of the Temple of Heavengod Space was empty. The air was filled with the Law of Space, and the Law of Space had stacked the void so many times that it turned it as boundless as an ocean.
However, Bu Fang had mastered the Law of Space. Although Lord Dog was not strong in the Law of Space, he knew a little bit about it. With a thought, they shortened the distance, walking through broken pillars and collapsed walls.
The Temple of Heavengod Space stored the most complete and detailed information about the universes. This was what Lord Dog had told Bu Fang. They should be able to find the ways to travel to Void City here. Lord Dog also told him that a long time ago, Heavengod Space was in charge of banishing ancient Heavengods.
The library was not hard to find. A dust-covered stone door was pushed open, and behind it was the library. A creak echoed in the quiet temple, and dust fell off. The man and the dog stepped through the door.
They were greeted by a boundless starry sky filled with countless bright stars. The library was actually a star chart. Lord Dog walked in it with his elegant cat-like steps. He came before a star, caught it with a paw, and gave it a yank, pulling out a book.
It was a thick book with an old cover that almost fell to pieces. After briefly flipping it, he tossed it aside. The book floated up into the air and turned back to a star.
Lord Dog kept walking and searching. “If my memory serves me well, the book about Void City is among these countless stars…” he said. “Let’s take our time to find it.”
Bu Fang nodded. He was not in a hurry, though—he had his own way. As the only Heavengod who mastered the five supreme Laws of the Universe, his ability was considered the combination of the five Heavengods’ abilities.
His mental force spread. Before his eyes, all the veils disappeared, and dots of light spun rapidly. Every star seemed to be alive now, and their breaths seemed to contain the essence of the Laws.
Bu Fang lifted his hand. Light began to swirl in his palm. The next moment, he discovered a dim star, one that was the dimmest and the least conspicuous among all the other bright stars.
He reached out and grabbed the star. Soon, he pulled out a thick book, which was formed by the swirling Law of Space.
“You found it?” Lord Dog leaned over, fixing his eyes on the thick book in Bu Fang’s hand.
Bu Fang nodded, sat cross-legged down, and opened the torn book with great care. Suddenly, the scene in front of his eyes changed. He saw a huge city floating in the starry sky. It was built atop a floating meteorite, with the power of the curse wound around it like countless chains.
Outside the city, the ground was covered with bones. There were skeletons of huge dragons, winged men, Heavengods, and all kinds of beings from various universes and worlds. Each of the skeletons emitted mighty energy. Without a doubt, they were people with lofty status when they were alive.
Looking at it from afar, the city seemed to be constructed atop bones and skeletons. It filled the hearts of those who glanced at it with dread.
“So this is Void City…” Lord Dog exhaled deeply as if he was trying to breathe out the shock in his heart.
Bu Fang nodded. According to that noblewoman, Void City was very strong, and its Queen was even stronger than a Chaotic Saint. He was not sure if he could save Nethery from her clutch.
Most importantly, the Queen of Curses hated chefs. This had virtually added a ton of difficulty to what he was going to do.
Bu Fang continued flipping the book. The pages were the introduction of Void City. Heavengod Space had traveled to many universes and recorded countless starry paths, so he must have been to the land of exile too.
In fact, Heavengod Space was a traveler. He made a note of the places he had traveled and written an introduction and evaluation for every place.
After reading for a while, Bu Fang found the starry path that led to Void City in the book. It required him to construct an array. After all, the city was in another universe, so if he wished to go there, he would need an array. The noblewoman who took Nethery away also descended through an array.
Although the array was profound and complex, Bu Fang managed to memorize it with just one glance. Its complexity was nothing compared with the Gourmet Arrays, so he would have no problem constructing one.
He closed the book and exhaled. The book turned into a stream of light and returned to its original position.
“Have you really decided to go to Void City?” Lord Dog looked at Bu Fang and asked in a serious voice.
The danger of Void City was self-evident, and Heavengod Space’s book had stated that as well. For chefs, it was an even deadlier place. Chefs were almost extinct in that city!
“The world is huge. It is always good to travel more,” Bu Fang said with the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.
They left the Temple of Heavengod Space. Lord Dog did not persuade again. He knew what kind of a place Void City was, but he also felt Bu Fang’s determination. He knew it was useless for him to persuade.
“Since you’ve decided to go, I’ll let you bring those ancient Heavengods, God Kings, and God Emperors who had done many evil deeds under Heavengod Transmigration there as well. They’re supposed to be banished…”
After thinking for a while, Lord Dog pushed the task to Bu Fang.
Bu Fang gave him a sideways glance. ‘This fat dog has changed… He knows how to order me now.’ However, he did not reject it. He also needed an excuse to go to Void City.
When he returned to the restaurant, Bu Fang called up Whitey, Foxy, and Shrimpy. He was going to Void City, and he would bring them with him.
Foxy had the Soul Demon meatballs now, so her strength was not weak at all. As for Shrimpy, he purely took it as a mascot now.
The news that Bu Fang was ready to leave soon spread through the Chaos Space. Er Ha came with his golden spicy strip. After briefly expressing his reluctance to part from him, he asked for some spicy strips.
Bu Fang did not deny his request and gave him all the spicy strips he had. Er Ha wanted to go with him, but he rejected the idea. After all, Er Ha was Heavengod Life, and he needed to manage the Chaos Space.
After telling his regular customers about his situation and saying goodbye to them, Bu Fang began to construct the array.
The power of the Law of Space swirled, and soon he made the array that would bring him to Void City. With the diagram drawn by Heavengod Space, constructing this array was very easy for Bu Fang, especially at his level.
The clank of cold chains filled the air as Lord Dog arrived with the group of people sentenced to exile. Their eyes were dull, lifeless. As soon as they learned that they would be banished to Void City, they had lost all their hopes. As the veterans in the Chaos Space, they naturally knew the terror of that place. It was a place of no return.
They had thought that they would not be banished, for Heavengod Space had not returned yet. But little did they know that the stinking chef could bring them to Void City as well. For a moment, these ancient Heavengods, God Kings, and God Emperors all stared venomously at Bu Fang.
Bu Fang ignored them. He took the chains and threw them to Whitey. He put Whitey in charge of these people, while he continued to seriously draw the array.
In today’s Chaos Space, no one except Bu Fang dared to say his comprehension of the Law of Space was the best. As he worked, the transport array gradually took shape in the Temple of Heavengod Space.
Bu Fang took out many gemstones, which could provide a tremendous amount of energy enough for him to complete a cosmic jump.
Many people in the Chaos Space were watching. They felt a bit upset about Bu Fang’s departure. After all, his cuisines were too delicious. However, they were also excited by the opening of a path leading to Void City, for that meant the once glorious Chaotic Universe was about to return!
An innumerable amount of energy accumulated and soon turned into a beam of light, shooting straight into the sky. The array began to rotate, emitting a brilliant light. A rumbling sound echoed out as the light beam rushed into the chaos, twisting it and turning it into a deep, dark entrance filled with terrible destructive force.
Bu Fang knew that the entrance would lead him to Void City. He patted Whitey’s belly, then glanced at Lord Dog, Er Ha, and the others, and nodded.
All the people looked serious as they watched Bu Fang leave. The next moment, he took a step forward. The Law of Space spread under his feet, and he soared into the sky, turned into a silver stream of light, and plunged into the twisting void in a flash.
Whitey yanked its huge palm. The group of exiles staggered as they were pulled toward the entrance. Many people howled and wailed, refusing to go. However, their voices were soon swallowed by the twisting opening.
The light beam scattered with a buzz, and the Chaos Space became quiet again. The people were in a trance. Looking at the void, no one said a word.
Lord Dog sighed. ‘Now that Bu Fang is away, I won’t be able to eat Sweet ‘n’ Sour Ribs for a long time…’ he thought to himself.
Er Ha felt somewhat lost as well, and he thought he must be frugal with the spicy strips.
“Let’s hope Bu Fang boy will be able to rescue Nethery safely…” Lord Dog said.
“It won’t be easy… You know the temper of those people in Void City. They are always hostile toward the Chaotic Universe…” Er Ha pulled out a spicy strip and held it between his lips.
They did not say it, but they were worried about Bu Fang.
…
The transport speed of the array was very fast. Traveling between universes was an uncomfortable experience. Even with Bu Fang’s fleshly body, he still felt the squeeze of powerful spatial forces. He did not know how long the uncomfortable feeling lasted, but he was suddenly freed from it.
The clanks of chains echoed out. Behind Bu Fang, Whitey’s metal wings spread as it clutched the chains that bound the group of exiles, whose faces were filled with horror and eyes fixed on Bu Fang.
Bu Fang raised his hand and sensed the universe where Void City was located. His mental force spread, covering a great distance in just a flash.
He froze. This was a broken and dead universe. The stars in the starry sky were mostly ruined, lifeless. Between stars, he saw many flying ancient ships, and each of them seemed to be guarded by a Saint of the Great Path.
And at the center of the region covered by Bu Fang’s mental force, a huge, magnificent city floated in the starry sky. It awed and was plundering the energy of the entire universe. Outside the city, the ground was covered with bones. This was Void City!
Bu Fang’s mental force sensed the city from across a great distance. Suddenly, terrifying mental pressure exploded out of the city, which made Bu Fang’s expression change slightly!
“How dare you spy on Void City… You are courting death!”
An extremely powerful mental force poured over, following the track of Bu Fang’s mental force and approaching him with killing intent! Whenever this mental force passed, all the ancient ships burst apart!
