Chapter 1839 - The God of Cooking and the Queen of Curses (2/2)

Their conversation continued. Eventually, Nethery seemed to be convinced.

The days went by.

Bu Fang’s consciousness seemed to be gradually extracted and was watching everything from the perspective of a bystander. And he finally managed to see the God of Cooking’s appearance.

He was a very ordinary middle-aged man, without a handsome appearance nor any memorable features. He was a man who would blend with others once he was thrown into a large crowd of people. However, a man like this wanted to rush to the pinnacle.

The two lived a life that was truly like a divine couple.

Gradually, the God of Cooking’s aura reached a limit. It was like a bucket that was finally full after a drop of water was dropped into it every day for a very long time.

On that day, the God of Cooking finally made his choice.

Nethery, or rather, the Queen of Curses, leaned against the cabin’s door as she watched the God of Cooking slowly step into the sky. She wanted to witness the latter take the last step.

The God of Cooking said that he would use the Emotional Path to step to the pinnacle, and the Queen of Curses was looking forward to it.

She had given up everything she had to become an Ancestral God. She believed that the God of Cooking could step to the pinnacle with the Emotional Path, and then… they would be able to continue their life as a divine couple.

To her, the improvement of the cultivation base was merely a spice for life.

The Queen of Curses could not step to the pinnacle with the Emotional Path. However, she knew how to be satisfied. With her current cultivation base and life, she was content.

Bu Fang looked at the God of Cooking in the sky and felt something was not right. In the past, he had thought that there might be an old-fashioned love story between the Queen of Curses, the God of Cooking, and Soul God.

Now, it seemed that Soul God had nothing to do with their relationship. After all, the couple had been living a happy life, and Soul God had never shown up.

Bu Fang frowned. He did not think it was that simple…

In the sky, the God of Cooking began to break through the Ancestral God realm.

‘Did he succeed?’

If Bu Fang remembered it correctly, the God of Cooking did succeed. However, he chose the neutral approach between the Emotional Path and the Ruthless Path. It was a… very bad solution.

Suddenly, Bu Fang’s expression changed.

On the ground, the Queen of Curses, leaning against the door and watching expectantly, was taken aback as well. She stood up anxiously, her beautiful face full of incredulity.

“Didn’t you say that you will step to the pinnacle with the Emotional Path?!” the Queen demanded.

In the sky, the God of Cooking did not seem to hear her. He continued to make the breakthrough, extracting his emotions wisp by wisp. It was as if his emotions and desires were chopped off by an invisible knife.

Bu Fang focused his eyes. ‘Here it comes…’

The Queen of Curses was fuming—she felt as if she had been cheated. With her realm, she knew very well that if the God of Cooking stepped on the Ruthless Path, their life as a divine couple would be gone completely.

Therefore, she wanted to stop him.

The gentle Queen of Curses transformed. The terrifying power of the curses erupted out of her, sweeping in all directions and exploding.

RUMBLE!

Her aura rushed into the sky, fell like waterfalls, and surrounded her. The dreadful power of the curses spread, engulfing the beautiful farmland in an instant. The river dried up, the trees withered…

Soon, the warm, gentle scenery was gone. The place looked exactly like the first time when Bu Fang had set foot here.

Bu Fang frowned. Sure enough, this woman was not Nethery… Although she had Nethery’s face, she was the real Queen of Curses!

A suit of black armor wrapped up her body. Her hair kept waving and rolling upward, while a black cloak slowly streamed down her back…

She was exuding a heroic bearing that awed the universe. This was the real Queen of Curses!

In the sky, the God of Cooking had chopped off his seven emotions and six desires. He had become cold, indifferent. Darkness began to devour him.

However, he did not chop off everything. There was a wisp of emotion left. He wanted to use this wisp of emotion to break through to the ultimate realm.

But… an accident happened.

The seven emotions he had chopped off converged in the void, turned into a terrible demon, and began to devour him, tearing and biting at his body.

The God of Cooking screamed. The Ruthless Path and the Emotional Path began to shake his will like crazy. He needed to choose between the two.

The Queen of Curses was growling. She felt the cold of being betrayed… However, she still harbored a wisp of anticipation. But, very quickly, her wisp of anticipation disappeared…

In the sky, the God of Cooking was gradually covered and wrapped in darkness. The seven severed emotions turned into seven sinful forces that entangled his body.

The seed of emotions was burning strong, but it was devoured in just a flash.

Bu Fang looked at the sky with a complicated expression. He had thought of the opening, but he failed to guess the ending.

Eventually, Soul God had shown up, but… He did not expect him to appear in such a way.

The God of Cooking, covered by the seven emotions, turned into Soul God. He ruthlessly tore the void and left… and became the most terrifying demon in the multiverse.

The Queen of Curses watched with a blank face.

Once again, heaven and earth were restored. Soul God was nowhere to be found in the void. But there was another figure, which was none other than the God of Cooking who insisted on walking the Emotional Path…

Hovering in midair, the God of Cooking gave the Queen of Curses an apologetic glance, then tore the void and left this world. He left her behind.

Bu Fang’s brows furrowed.

Time flew. In the blink of an eye, a century was gone.

Soul God had become the most terrifying demon of the multiverse. He slaughtered an entire universe, which was later called the Soul Demon Universe, and dominated the starry sky.

His next goal was to conquer the Chaotic Universe. He started a war with it, then Void City, and even the Primitive Universe.

His power was unmatched, and he held sway over the multiverse. He fought heaven, earth, and even air! The power of the sins filled every corner of the multiverse!

Just when Soul God’s power reached its peak, an old man appeared in the starry sky. He carried a dish and came in front of Soul God.

There was no flashy battle nor earth-shattering rumbles. The wanton Soul God only ate a mouthful of the dish. The power of the Emotional Path impacted him, and his power disappeared completely.

After that, the experts of various universes struck at the same time, ripped his body, and sealed his body parts in different places. The old man took Soul God’s heart.

The Queen of Curses stood over Void City and looked at the old man.

The once high-spirited and vigorous God of Cooking was now an aging man. He had become a mortal, and he knew that he could only live a hundred years…

He did not talk to the Queen of Curses but just cooked a bowl of fried rice for her. It contained all the memories from when they met in their youth.

Then, the aging God of Cooking, holding Soul God’s heart, disappeared into the starry sky.

And after that day… the Queen of Curses went crazy.

…

Bu Fang watched with a weird expression.

The image had disappeared, and he found himself back in the cabin.

Behind him, an icy aura spread and wrapped around his body like wisps of silk. It sent a shock of chill through him.

Bu Fang sighed and slowly turned around.

Behind him, a woman shrouded in the power of curses was staring at him. Her features were nearly identical to Nethery’s.

“All chefs are bad!” the Queen of Curses said coldly. The icy words spewing out of her mouth were filled with endless resentment and hatred.

Bu Fang did not refute her. After watching the Queen of Curses’ memories, he did not know what to say to this poor woman.

She used to be full of hopes for life, but unfortunately, life had dealt her a heavy blow. All she wanted was to live a simple life with her lover like a divine couple, but darkness had swallowed her life.

The God of Cooking split in two. Half of him was Soul God who walked the Ruthless Path, and the other was the God of Cooking who walked the Emotional Path.

Soul God’s life was endless, and the God of Cooking only lived a hundred years like a mortal. When the time came, his fleshly body decayed, and he perished together with his path.

With the death of the God of Cooking, the life that the Queen of Curses was looking forward to had burst like a bubble. The vows that were once made and the happy and carefree life had all been reduced to nothing.

No wonder the Queen of Curses held such a grudge against chefs. Hatred derived from love always filled one with helplessness.

The power of curses gradually surrounded Bu Fang’s body. Eventually, it turned into a huge black cocoon and completely wrapped him up.

In the distance, Nethery slowly emerged.

The Queen of Curses disappeared in a flash and came hovering at Nethery’s side. She seemed to be whispering to Nethery.

“Take this dagger and stab it into that stinking chef’s body… You will then be able to perfect your Ruthless Path and become the true master of Void City and become the supreme Ancestral God of Curses!

“Quick! Kill this chef! Kill him!”

A black dagger materialized in front of Nethery. The Queen of Curses’ whispering kept ringing in her ear. With a slight dazed look in her eyes, she grabbed the dagger and walked forward step by step.

Gradually, she closed in on the black cocoon, raised the black dagger, and aimed the tip at it…

The cocoon squirmed and turned into Bu Fang’s face.

The dagger floated up and hovered right in front of Bu Fang’s heart.

The Queen of Curses turned into a plume of black smoke and hugged Nethery from behind. Her hands, condensed from the power of curses, held Nethery’s hands and grabbed the dagger…

And pushed it forward bit by bit. Moving a little bit at a time, she pushed the tip of the dagger toward Bu Fang’s heart.
