Chapter 1687 - Lord Dog Begs You… (2/2)
“Our sleep is not as simple as it might sound. Back then, we five Heavengods joined forces to fight a palm from outside the Chaos Space. With the help of arrays, we managed to stop it and even cut it down. However, Heavengod Transmigration… he betrayed us at the last moment.
“That old thief used his Formless Transmigration divine ability and threw the four of us into the Transmigration. We were very weak after the battle… So our Heavengod bodies were destroyed, and we fell into a deep sleep. I also don’t know where they are now.”
The divine ability of a Heavengod was naturally terrifying. As soon as the Formless Transmigration was unleashed, the four Heavengods could not resist it and plunged into the Transmigration.
This made things a little tricky. Perhaps a blade of grass on the ground in some remote corner of the Chaotic Universe was the reincarnation of one of the Heavengods…
“The arm must have fallen into the hand of that old thief. It is an evil thing and belongs to a supreme being… Heavengod Transmigration had betrayed us because he wants to acquire the supreme power beyond the Heavengod realm.
“He knew that we would not allow such an evil thing to stay in the Chaos Space, so he…” Lord Dog sighed. “Countless years have passed, and he may well have found a way to get his hands on that supreme power. With his current state of mind, this may be a disaster for the Chaos Space.”
What Lord Dog said caused everyone’s face to turn pale, while Bu Fang’s face grew graver. Ever since Heavengod Transmigration guided the Soul Demons to slaughter the Chaotic Universe, Bu Fang had had some speculation.
The arm Lord Dog mentioned might well belong to the Soul God, and the supreme being who crushed the Heavengods’ Temples back then was very likely to be the Soul God, who was still sleeping now!
Things were getting trickier. Bu Fang picked up a slice of meat and was shoving it into his mouth when Lord Dog looked at him and said, “Come with me, Bu Fang.”
That gave Bu Fang pause, but he stood up all the same and followed.
Er Ha had wanted to follow as well, but as soon as he rose to his feet, he saw Lord Dog wave a paw at him. It scared him so much that he quickly sat back down. “This mangy dog is such a bully!”
The corners of Bu Fang’s mouth lifted slightly, but he did not say anything. ‘Yes, Lord Dog is bullying you, but he got the strength. What could you do?’
The man and the dog walked inside the ruined palace. Lord Dog led the way as he walked toward the depths of the building.
Soon, they came to a door. Lord Dog stood up on his hind legs, pressed his paws against it, and pushed it open. Then, he walked through it. Bu Fang followed.
The moment he stepped through the door, Bu Fang felt as if he had walked into the passage of time. Countless images flew past in his eyes.
“Hmm? Where is this?” Bu Fang asked.
“This is the secret of the Temple of Heavengod Time…” Lord Dog sighed.
There was an array inside the chamber. Bu Fang was stunned when he saw it, for it was made up of millions of tiny light dots, which he was no stranger to. They looked exactly the same as the tiny light dots that appeared whenever the System teleported him to somewhere else…
Lord Dog had tried that kind of teleportation once, so he looked at Bu Fang with a complicated face. “See those light dots? Do you find them familiar?” he asked.
Bu Fang nodded with an odd look on his face.
“The array in every Temple of Heavengod is constructed by a supreme being. However, this array could not resist that palm…” Lord Dog sighed again. “The aura of this array is very much like your aura… This is the reason why the few of us had decided to share our Causality Thrones with you,” he said.
The importance of a Heavengod’s Causality Throne was self-explanatory. It was impossible for a new Heavengod to be born unless a Heavengod fell, leaving the Causality Throne vacant.
Of course, Bu Fang was an accident, an exception.
“We feel that only you can help us.” Lord Dog said.
As he touched the array, Bu Fang felt a sense of familiarity. It was not a Gourmet Array, but they were similar to each other.
“How can I help you?” Bu Fang asked, puzzled. Helping these Heavengods would not be easy. Would they ask him to kill Heavengod Transmigration?
With his current strength, even if he used up all his trump cards, he was at most as strong as the average Chaotic Saint, about on the same level as Suiren.
Heavengod Transmigration, on the other hand, had become a Heavengod for countless years and even drawn the souls of half of all the living beings in the Chaotic Universe into the Transmigration. His strength was so strong that he could be said to be the strongest Heavengod ever.
Bu Fang did not have any special ability that could allow him to deal with such a mighty existence.
Lord Dog shook his head. “Of course, we have no intention of sending you to your death.” He wagged his tail, then raised his paw and waved it before Bu Fang’s face. The next moment, a golden sheet emerged.
Bu Fang froze as soon as he saw the paper. “This is…”
Lord Dog nodded. “Yes, this is a recipe. Do you know why we let you come to the Chaos Space, even when doing this would hurt our very root? The reason is simple. You are a chef. You are the only man who could understand this recipe and cook the dish!
“This is the recipe left behind by the supreme being who constructed this array!” Lord Dog said with emotion.
Bu Fang narrowed his eyes. This was the God of Cooking’s Menu. It had been in his spirit sea for so long that he could not have mistaken it.
“There are a total of five recipes… I have one, and each of the other Temples of Heavengod has one as well. Of course, that old thief has one as well…
“You are the only one in this world who can cook these dishes. I have a feeling that once you cook all of them, the calling branded at the depths of our souls will make the Heavengods who had fallen into the Transmigration… return!
“Bu Fang boy… I’ve been wild all my life, and I’ve never begged anyone. This time, I beg you… In the name of Sweet ‘n’ Sour Ribs, Lord Dog begs you to help us!”
The corners of Bu Fang’s lips lifted as he gave the golden recipe back to Lord Dog.
“You don’t have to beg me… We’ve been fighting side by side for so long, starting from the Light Wind Empire to here, the Chaos Space…
“Your trouble is my trouble… I will help you. Don’t worry.”
Bu Fang clasped his hands behind his back, his eyes sparkling. Cooking had never frightened him. In fact, he was curious about the identity of the other few Heavengods. Who exactly were they?
