“That beam of light… Someone is making a breakthrough!”

Many people in the capital sensed the aura, and they all looked shocked. In fact, it was the sheer commotion of the breakthrough that shocked them. Judging by its magnitude, they could guess that the person making a breakthrough must be a gifted genius—and even an extraordinary one!

In the sky, two Wheels of Law emerged, looking as if they were on the verge of bursting out an immense amount of energy.

In the palace, the Divine Emperor stood near the door with his hands clasped behind his back. “This aura… belongs to the supreme Law of the Universe. No, it belongs to two supreme Laws…” the Divine Emperor said lightly. “The expert who comprehended two supreme Laws of the Universe should be… Yi’er.”

‘The crown prince?’ The eunuch who stood respectfully at the Divine Emperor’s side was shocked. ‘So it’s the crown prince who’s about to break through to the God realm? Why so soon and…without any signs? With his identity, the crown prince is destined to be extraordinary, and with such an extraordinary identity, it is impossible for him to break through without any signs… Did something happen to him?’

“Come… walk with me,” said the Divine Emperor.

The old eunuch nodded hurriedly.

With his hands clasped behind his back, the Divine Emperor took a step forward, rose into the air, and walked at a steady pace. His robes fluttered in the wind. The old eunuch followed. As someone who served the Divine Emperor, he was not weak. The two of them headed in the direction where the beam of light was shooting into the sky.

From a great distance, they were able to see that the very place where the beam of light thrusting up was none other than Bu Fang’s restaurant.

‘It’s his restaurant again…’ The Divine Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly. He was still somewhat curious about Bu Fang. All the signs, including the fact that he was chosen by Mu Hongzi and could resist the Heavengod’s slap, indicated that Bu Fang was an extraordinary man.

“Let Gold Armor seal off the area and keep people away… The crown prince is breaking through and cannot be disturbed,” said the Divine Emperor. Then, he coughed and pounded his back a few times.

The eunuch quickly left to inform Gold Armor. Before long, one Gold Armor Guard after another descended and surrounded the area around the restaurant, keeping people away.

The crown prince closed his eyes. His hair was waving, and his aura surging as he kept pounding at the higher realm. He had been waiting for this moment for a long time. It never occurred to him that Bu Fang’s dish would become the trigger of his breakthrough.

A genius who comprehended two supreme Laws of the Universe would have a much harder time breaking through than the average person, as it would take him more energy than the average person to break through the shackle.

In the sky, rumbling filled the air. The Wheels of Law were rotating as if in response to something in the great distance. Suddenly, the sky turned transparent. All the stars seemed to emerge at this moment and become very bright. It was as though a supreme existence was watching all these through the connection of Law.

It was an amazing feeling. The crown prince was immersed in it with the Power of Law swirling around him. Meanwhile, the other end of the light beam was connected with the existence. A supreme aura immediately spread out.

“That’s…” All the people cried out in surprise at this moment.

Even the Divine Emperor was narrowing his eyes. “That’s the aura of a Heavengod…” He sucked in a cold breath as an excited look came over his old face. He did not expect the crown prince to be able to attract the attention of a Heavengod. “Is he going to be guided by the Heavengod? This is a rare opportunity!”

Not only the Divine Emperor, but the other people also gasped and exclaimed. It was the first time they learned that a genius who comprehended two supreme Laws of the Universe could be guided by the Heavengod. It sounded incredible, and they could not help but wonder what would happen to a genius who comprehended three supreme Laws.

Many people began to breathe faster and faster as they thought of another existence who was more gifted than the crown prince. Would that genius be guided by a Heavengod as well when he was breaking through to the God realm? Suddenly, their expressions became somewhat strange because they recalled that the genius was severely wounded by a Heavengod. In that case, would the Heavengod still guide him? No one knew the answer.

In the restaurant, Bu Fang sat in a chair, watching calmly. He was not surprised by the crown prince’s breakthrough. As a dish in the God of Cooking’s Menu, how could cola chicken wings not have a unique effect? Even Er Ha’s aura grew stronger after eating it.

However, the dish did not have much effect on him. His eyes were as calm as the water in an old well, as though he had gotten used to this. He watched as the crown prince made the breakthrough, sensing the towering aura and the beam of light. “The Heavengod’s guidance?” he muttered, narrowing his eyes.

His God of Cooking Sets were destroyed by the Heavengod. Bu Fang had not forgotten that—he would settle scores with whoever did that. He had never been a generous and forgiving person.

The crown prince’s breakthrough soon came to an end. His aura began to surge; the aura of the Heavengod, which was the guidance, rushed into his body and made him grow stronger like a butterfly that had just emerged from its cocoon. There was a qualitative difference between Demigods and Gods.

Suddenly, one Law after another bloomed like flowers around him as many ordinary Laws were being comprehended by him. His cultivation base began to soar rapidly. At last, when he comprehended nearly five hundred Laws, it stopped increasing and stood firmly at the peak level of a mid-grade God. He opened his mouth and breathed out a puff of turbid energy.

Bu Fang looked at the crown prince, somewhat absentminded. Suddenly, the System’s serious voice rang in his head, which made him shudder uncontrollably.

‘Attention, Host. You have a temporary task…’ the System said.

Bu Fang’s eyes focused. ‘It’s coming! It’s finally here!’

‘Temporary task: Please go to the Titan Divine Dynasty and acquire its Cornerstone Divine Artifact, the Titan’s Heart. Task reward: A fragment of the God of Cooking Set, a God of Cooking’s divine power liquid drop.’

Bu Fang had been looking forward to this moment for a long time. At last, he was going to get the last fragment of the God of Cooking Set! The System had told him that if he wished to fix the God of Cooking Sets, he would have to gather all the fragments and summon the last God of Cooking Set. He had been eager to know what was the last God of Cooking Set, and now, he finally had the chance to meet it!

He breathed a sigh of relief. ‘So I need to go to the Titan Divine Dynasty and acquire the Titan’s Heart… Wait a minute, that’s the Titan Divine Dynasty’s Cornerstone Divine Artifact, and the System actually asked me to acquire it?’ Usually, the System would not give him such an unreasonable task because the Titan’s Heart was owned by someone.

‘System, that’s not very good, is it?’ Bu Fang frowned.

‘The System’s arrangement has its own rationale. Host will understand when the time comes…’ said the System.

Apparently, there was something the System was not telling Bu Fang. However, he did not ask further. Perhaps it did have its own reason. ‘Could the Titan’s Heart help fix the God of Cooking Set?’ He furrowed his brows, wondering.

After thinking for a while, he glanced at the crown prince, who was still immersed in the improved cultivation base, then turned his eyes into the distance. With a thought in his mind, the void before him tore apart…

Outside the skyscraper, the Divine Emperor turned to look at the void beside him. The next moment, Bu Fang slowly walked out from there.

“Your Majesty…”

“Long time no see, Mister Bu.” The Divine Emperor looked at Bu Fang and smiled like an amiable grandpa. He was always friendly toward this little chef.

“Are you getting better, Your Majesty?” Bu Fang asked, twitching the corners of his mouth slightly.

The Divine Emperor nodded and said, “Yes. With the calamity gone, I feel so much more relaxed than before. Thank you for giving Yi’er the chance. Otherwise, I have no idea how much longer it would take him to break through to the God realm. Just tell me what you need, Mister Bu.” He seemed to have guessed that Bu Fang was here to ask him questions.

“What does Your Majesty know about the Titan’s Heart?” Bu Fang put his hands behind his back and asked.

“The Titan’s Heart?” That gave the Divine Emperor pause. He glanced at Bu Fang, puzzled as he did not expect this question.

“It is the Titan Divine Dynasty’s Cornerstone Divine Artifact, and it is enshrined in their Divine Temple. The Titan’s Heart is a very high-level divine artifact, even higher than the Xiayi Divine Dynasty’s three divine artifacts. Some said it is a treasure left behind by their ancient Heavengod.”

“I see.” Bu Fang nodded. “Does Your Majesty know how to acquire the Titan’s Heart?” he asked the next question, which was what he really wanted to know.

“Acquire the Titan’s Heart?” The Divine Emperor’s expression suddenly became very strange. “It is enshrined in their Divine Temple and guarded by four top-grade God Kings. But now there are only three because one of them is Tai Shan, who had died not too long ago. Even so, it is still not easy to get. After all, it is also guarded by an army, not to mention that there’s the Titan Divine Emperor. Even I can’t get it… unless a Heavengod makes a move.”

The Divine Emperor shook his head. He seemed to have guessed what Bu Fang was trying to do. However, he did not approve of the idea. Bu Fang would be as good as dead if he really went to the Titan Divine Dynasty.

“Also… Let me warn you, something is wrong with the Titan Divine Dynasty these days. It’s dangerous,” said the Divine Emperor. “All the spies I’ve planted there went missing… including a high-grade God King.” He frowned with a rare serious look on his face.

“I’ve been tracking down the news of those strange creatures. According to many of my spies, those escaped creatures had all gone to the Titan Divine Dynasty. So, that place is really not safe these days.”

Bu Fang was slightly taken aback. He had no idea that such a thing had happened as he had been busy with the restaurant. In any case, he still needed to complete the temporary task, no matter what the Titan Divine Dynasty had turned into. Those strange creatures gathered there probably because the defense was not strong enough, and that did not mean that it had turned into their divine dynasty.

The Divine Emperor looked at Bu Fang and smiled. “If Mister Bu wishes to find out more about the Titan’s Heart, you can visit the library in the palace. You will find all the records about it there.” Bu Fang had saved his life, so naturally, he could fulfill such a small request.

Bu Fang nodded. Since he had nothing else to do, he thought he would go there and have a look.

At this moment, the crown prince came up to them. He was still a little excited and even puffed up with pride, but he calmed down after the Divine Emperor taught him a lesson.

Soon, the Gold Armor Guard retreated, and the Divine Emperor also returned to the palace with the crown prince. Bu Fang followed them to the library, read a lot more information about the Titan’s Heart, and then returned to the restaurant.

He began to prepare for the temporary task. He had to go to the Titan Divine Dynasty. After all, the task would give him the last fragment of the God of Cooking Set. Once he completed it, the broken God of Cooking Sets would have a chance to be restored. So, Bu Fang naturally would not give up.

But as the Divine Emperor said, the trip would not be easy. Bu Fang had to be prepared.

Nethery and Lord Dog expressed their intention of following him, but he refused. It was a dangerous trip—he had to go alone. When he rejected them with a firm attitude, they did not ask him further.

Life had returned to normal. Bu Fang ran the restaurant by day and prepared things for his upcoming trip by night. Time was passing by.

The crown prince had broken through to the God realm, but he still came to the restaurant every day to work as a waiter. He was now eager for Bu Fang to cook cola chicken wings again. He was somewhat addicted to it. Meanwhile, he had told others that his breakthrough was related to the restaurant. That shook the whole divine dynasty, and the booming business of the restaurant became even more fiery. Basically, it was full all the time.

At last, on one particular day, the restaurant did not open. A plaque was hung on the door, which wrote… ‘Temporarily Closed.’

…

A humming sound could be heard as motes of white light scattered in the air. Bu Fang, clad in a plain white robe and his long hair tied up with a velvet rope, clasped his hands behind his back and stepped into a transport array. In just the blink of an eye, he was gone, heading toward the Titan Divine Dynasty.

…

In the towering palace of the Titan Divine Dynasty, black smoke filled the air, and a terrible aura blotted out the sky. Suddenly, the Titan Divine Emperor, sitting cross-legged in the great hall, flicked open his eyes, which flashed with a red glow.

“Oh? What a familiar aura… This is… That damned chef? Is he preparing to… deliver himself to me?” The corners of the Titan Divine Emperor’s mouth curled upward, revealing a cold, sinister smile.
