Chapter 1826 - The Number One Barbecue in the Starry Sky! (2/2)

Suiren’s eyes were misty. As he chewed the roast meat, he thought of many things in the past. Back then, he was still a youth who walked across the Ancestral Planet. The whole world was dark, and he, with the forwardness of youth, had brought the first ray of light in the darkness of the night on the planet!

With the passage of time, the youth had grown into a gray-haired old man now. Suiren swallowed the meat and sighed. Unbeknown to him, he had lived for such a long time.

He sniffled, stuffed another piece of roast meat Bu Fang had placed in his bowl into his mouth, and wiped his greasy beard with a hand. He was filled with happiness.

“My barbecue skill is no longer as good as yours… Under the starry sky, you won’t find a person whose barbecue tastes better than yours… I guarantee that!”

Suiren wiped the wetness at the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand. Bu Fang’s cooking skills were growing too quickly. He was already a superb chef in the past, but Suiren could still beat him with barbecue. But now… Suiren thought he’d better just focus on eating.

Wushuang was eating the roast meat as well. He felt the passage of time and recalled the hundreds of years he had spent with Bu Fang. That filled him with mixed emotions.

Whitey grabbed a piece of roast meat, opened its mechanical mouth, and placed it inside. Its mechanical eyes lit up in an instant, and a pinkish hue seemed to creep across its white metal face. It clapped its huge hands to praise the deliciousness of the meat.

Bu Fang smiled and continued to cut the bird thigh. One piece of roast meat after another was cut and placed in the bowls. As the meat continued to cook over the fire, its aroma grew stronger, and its texture grew more tender.

Suiren was satisfied. The three of them had a hearty meal. The happiness of enjoying great food was one of the purest emotions of human beings.

After they had finished the meat, Bu Fang took out a jar of fine wine and filled a cup for Suiren. Nothing beats a cup of wine after eating barbecue. Suiren thought this was one of the happiest moments in his life.

When they had had their fill, Bu Fang brought up the important topic. “Before Soul God was sealed, he seemed to be looking for something in the Ancestral Planet. Do the human emperors know what that thing is?”

Suiren took a sip of wine and stroked his beard. “Soul God can only return to this world after collecting all his body parts… What do you think he is missing?” he asked.

“One of his arms was in the Chaotic Universe, and his lower body was sealed under Void City. His head, upper body, and another arm were in the Primitive Universe and the Soul Demon Universe… What is he missing?” Bu Fang did not know the answer.

“He’s missing a heart.” Suiren took another sip of wine, then lay down on his side. The firelight flashed on his face.

“A heart? Soul God is missing a heart?” That gave Bu Fang pause. “Why does he need a heart when he is walking the Ruthless Path?” he said, frowning.

“The heart is the source of power. Whether it is the Ruthless Path or the Emotional Path, they cannot exist without the heart… Therefore, it is impossible for Soul God to spare Earth.” Suiren sighed.

Only with the heart could one be ruthless. A person without a heart had no emotions, and he would never be able to reach the pinnacle. In fact, ruthlessness was also a kind of emotion.

Suiren’s words sent Bu Fang into deep thought. Obviously, he did not expect this. In that case, where was Soul God’s heart hidden on Earth? He did not know. Perhaps he should go out and find it?

“Don’t waste your time. You won’t find it… It can only be found by Soul God himself after he wakes up.” Suiren seemed to see through everything.

Bu Fang nodded and stopped thinking about this. Wushuang and Whitey were eating roast meat to the side. They were not strong enough to interfere in these problems.

For the next few days, Bu Fang stayed in the cave and cooked various delicacies. Suiren was so happy and satisfied that he did not want to let Bu Fang leave. However, he knew that Bu Fang would certainly leave. It was impossible for him to stay here forever.

Finally, after one month, Bu Fang took his leave with Whitey and Wushuang. Suiren stood at the entrance to the cave with his hands clasped behind his back as he watched them leave. He sighed. He was going to spend his days without meat again.

…

Time flew. Another few hundred years had passed. The atmosphere between heaven and earth was beginning to change.

The Soul Demon Universe, which seemed to be sealed, was beginning to stir. Soul Demons were sighted in the world once again.

The seven Great Soul Overlords who were sacrificed by Soul God were all replaced, and their minions had appeared in the Primitive Universe, the Chaotic Universe, and outside Void City. Many lesser universes were wiped out by them.

Everything of the Soul Demons was given by Soul God. So even though he had sacrificed the seven Great Soul Overlords, they still held him as their supreme leader. Their ultimate goal was to resurrect Soul God, who was the soul of all the Soul Demons!

…

All that was left of the dish suspended in the starry sky outside Pangu Pass was a small piece that anyone could finish in one gulp. The monstrous power of the Great Sins swirled around it like a great monster, and a terrifying aura was making the whole universe shake.

Triggered by the aura, the arrays around the dish were emanating mighty power. A round black bead had formed beside the dish, and streams of black smoke could be seen swirling inside. Suddenly, the bead transformed into an eye.

The crimson eye stared coldly at the outside world, at Hangu Pass.

“Where is that damn chef?!”
