Chapter 1539 - The Divine Emperor’s Compensation (1/2)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the majestic palace of the Xiayi Divine Dynasty…
The Divine Emperor sat on the throne, his brows furrowed as if something was bothering him. He had just survived the Heavengod Tribulation, which should have been a joyous event, but for him, there was something 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 informed through a special voice transmitting method, King Pingyang came as fast as he could. He was somewhat 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 me, and I feel somewhat guilty. I’ll give you some 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 someone 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 seemed to be on the verge of shattering, he twitched the corner of his mouth. He was really badly hurt this time.
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 extremely 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 Menu. The only thing missing were the four Artifact Spirits, and for a moment, 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 moments 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, some 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 time being. He looked like an ordinary man now, but ordinary meant rubbish. The Heavengod’s force clung to him like a maggot to a piece of rotting meat.
Bu Fang focused his eyes. The next moment, a seven-colored fruit emerged 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 timely help.
A Fruit of Law should be able to let him comprehend another Law, and it was highly likely to be a supreme 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 supreme 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 came back to him. In just a flash, he was in the same Sea of Laws.
Walking leisurely through it, he soon came 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 supreme Law of the Universe.
He now possessed four supreme 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 time, had comprehended so many supreme Laws of the Universe? An individual who had comprehended four supreme Laws could no longer be called a gifted genius!
The fact that Bu Fang had comprehended three supreme 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 supreme Law of the Universe. His heart was no longer full of surprises and excitement—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 time, he had comprehended the Law of Life. It was unexpected but understandable. It was the same supreme 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 somewhat sad. Yes, he had comprehended four supreme Laws of the Universe, but so what? Without his God of Cooking Set, cooking became boring. He sighed. He found himself getting a little emotional lately. The destruction of the God of Cooking Set saddened him.
