In the capital of the Xiayi Divine Dynasty…

The sky had returned to normal, but everyone could feel pressure weighing down on their minds.

The Divine Emperor stayed in the palace, somewhat fidgety. Between flipping through the reports, he would stand up and pace back and forth in the great hall. As the monarch of the dynasty, he was under enormous pressure.

Outside, it was late at night. A bright moon was hanging in the sky. However, the moon, which usually looked like a jade plate, was now covered with a layer of bloody glow and looked very eerie.

The Divine Emperor sighed. He changed into ordinary clothes and left the palace. Walking in the sky, he looked down. The capital was brightly lit and bustling at night, with one towering building after another protruding from the ground, making the whole city look magnificent. However, he had no idea how much longer this prosperity would last.

Soon, the Divine Emperor landed in front of the Luo Family’s skyscraper. He wanted to eat something delicious in Bu Fang’s restaurant. When a person was stressed, perhaps eating was the only way to ease his restless mood.

But he had forgotten that Bu Fang’s restaurant was closed at night. Looking at the closed door, the Divine Emperor felt even more depressed. He just wanted to eat something…

Taking a deep breath, he knocked on the restaurant door. The door quickly opened, but it was not Bu Fang who opened it. Since Bu Fang was away, he lost his appetite for food.

Under Nethery’s suspicious gaze, the Divine Emperor put his hands behind his back and turned to leave. He stooped, as if he had suddenly grown much older at that moment.

‘Mister Bu isn’t in the restaurant, so where could he be…’

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed. As a God Emperor, his divine sense was extremely powerful. With a thought in his mind, he looked up in the direction of the Divine Chef Temple. He could sense a distinct wave coming from there.

‘Oh?’ The wrinkles on his face seemed to suddenly come alive. The next moment, he stepped forward, tore the void, and disappeared in a flash.

…

In the Divine Chef Temple…

The void tore open, and then the Divine Emperor stepped out of it. Beneath him was the ancient Heavengod’s inheritance, and it was from here that the peculiar wave came.

‘In the middle of the night… Is someone cracking the seal? How is that possible… After Mister Bu broke the third seal, Summer had ordered that no Divine Chef is allowed to continue breaking it. Is someone disobeying her? In the Divine Chef Temple, her orders are still somewhat… useful.’

The Divine Emperor clasped his hands behind his back and looked around curiously. Suddenly, his eyes focused and looked down, then his breath quickened as he discovered that one of the two remaining seals of the inheritance had been broken.

At this moment, Summer emerged next to the Divine Emperor. She gave him a strange look, not understanding why a man like him, who needed to handle so many things, would appear in the Divine Chef Temple at this hour of the night.

“Shhh.”

The Divine Emperor saw Summer. He suppressed his surprise and put his forefinger on his lips.

Summer froze for a moment, then she turned to look at the inheritance. She noticed the same thing as the Divine Emperor, and she became excited. In the whole divine dynasty, perhaps Bu Fang was the only person who could crack the seals. Was he going to break them once and for all?

…

Bu Fang’s face was cool. In front of him, a dish slowly floated up, flickering with light.

To break the remaining two seals, he had to use the divine power he had learned from the previous seals and combine them with his cooking skills. It was very difficult, so it took him a lot of time to solve it.

For him, however, these remaining two seals were less difficult than the previous tests. This was not only because his divine sense was stronger, but also because his cooking skills were excellent. Cooking was so much easier for him than going through those torturous tests.

He raised his hand and gently pushed it forward. With a crackling sound, the seal that looked like a thin film broke. A gust of wind blew over and ruffled his hair. The next moment, a strong fruity fragrance greeted him and lingered in his mouth and nose, causing his eyes to narrow involuntarily.

“It smells so delicious…”

That gave Bu Fang pause. He did not expect the fragrance of this seven-colored Fruit of Law to be so strong. A little surprised, he walked up to it, stretched out his hand, and grasped it. With a buzzing sound, a peculiar wave immediately spread through his body.

Suddenly, he felt as if someone was spying on him.

‘Hmm?” Holding the fruit in his hand, Bu Fang glanced around in confusion. He was sure that someone was spying on him just now, but he could not sense anyone nearby.

Shaking his head, he looked down at the Fruit of Law. He found that it seemed to be filled with a very strong temptation.

Just then, Summer and the Divine Emperor fell from the sky at the same time and appeared at his side, scanning the interior of the inheritance. The ancient Heavengod’s inheritance had been stored in the Divine Chef Temple for a long time, so they had always been curious about what was inside.

The interior of the inheritance was not narrow. In addition to the Fruit of Law, there were quite a few things in the space, including many books and some strange items.

Summer’s curiosity had already been aroused. She kept walking around inside, touching here and there.

Compared to her, the Divine Emperor was much more prudent. With just one glance, he already had a good idea of the things inside. In the whole space, the most precious thing was still the Fruit of Law, for it could cultivate the talent of the younger generation.

Bu Fang no longer felt the sense of being spied on anymore. He did not dwell on that either. With the Fruit of Law in his hand, he looked at the Divine Emperor and Summer.

“I didn’t expect you to break the seals without informing us in advance.” The Divine Emperor’s tone was somewhat emotional. Looking at the Fruit of Law in Bu Fang’s hand, he was a little envious. It was a pity that he was so old that it would be a waste if he were to have the fruit.

Bu Fang chatted with them for a while. He told them that he had no intention of taking away anything else in the inheritance. Except for the Fruit of Law, none of these things were of any use to him.

Since he had said so, Summer and the Divine Emperor naturally took everything away without standing on ceremony.

After taking everything away, they planned to leave the place. They rose to the sky and walked through the air.

Bu Fang planned to go back to the restaurant, eat the Fruit of Law, and comprehend the fifth supreme Law of the Universe. In this way, he would comprehend all five supreme Laws.

However, just as Bu Fang shot up into the sky, a figure flew over abruptly, stopping in front of him with a monstrous aura.

The Divine Emperor and Summer frowned and looked at the figure that blocked their way with confusion. Through the bloody moonlight, they saw that the figure was none other than Ah Mo from the Immortal Spirit Divine Dynasty.

“The Fruit of Law…” Ah Mo bit her lip and looked at the fruit in Bu Fang’s hand.
