Gourmet of Another World Chapter 1378 - The Chaotic Universe

Chapter 1378 The Chaotic Universe“A Tree-claw True Dragon?”Bu Fang saw the little dragon lying in front of the restaurant door at a glance. It was indeed a little dragon, with a body just slightly larger than a tiger. When compared with Yellow Spring Great Sage’s Illuminating Dragon, it was so much smaller. Lying on the ground, that Illuminating Dragon was as lofty as a great mountain.

He narrowed his eyes, remembering that Divine Dragon had told him that every Three-claw True Dragon was a Demigod. ‘In other words, this little dragon is a Demigod? But… If it’s a Demigod, why didn’t it appear in the previous battle?’ Bu Fang had many questions in his mind, but he was in no hurry to ask them. He knew this girl must have something to say.
The girl was nervous. She had not seen so many people for a very long time. After being locked up in Alpha’s warship for so long, she had somewhat forgotten how to communicate with others. However, she had to pluck up courage for Xiao Long. Now that she was in a strange place, the little dragon was her only friend.
She glanced around and rested her eyes on Bu Fang. Then, while holding her hands together nervously, she made a deep bow to him. “How… How do you… do… Can you… Can you give me one of those purple fruits? Xiao Long will die without Purple Dragon Fruit.”
Her voice was pleasant to the ear, but her words slightly stunned everyone.
Tian Cang looked at her, frowning. When he was in that warship, this girl led him to Er Ha, so he thought he should say something now. However, before he could open his mouth, Lord Dog had already pointed out a paw, and a purple fruit immediately flew into the girl’s hand.
“Your dragon is… cute. Lord Dog likes it,” Lord Dog said, sticking out his tongue and licking his lips.
The girl paused, somewhat dumbstruck. It was as if she never thought that she would get the fruit so easily.
“That’s a Three-claw True Dragon, isn’t it? That makes it a Demigod… Why would it die without this purple fruit?” Bu Fang was in no hurry to walk into the kitchen now. Instead, he walked back out and asked the girl.
The girl took a deep breath. She knew she had to answer the question, so she fell silent for a moment as if she was considering the words she was about to say.
“None of these Three-claw True Dragons raised by Alpha are Demigods because their incubations were hastened. Alpha got dragon eggs from smugglers and then hatched them into little dragons… He raised them to sell in the Divine Dynasty, where many high officials like to eat dragon meat…
“The meat of Demigod dragons is too expensive. Alpha couldn’t get them, but he could afford to raise this kind of Three-claw True Dragons. Xiao Long will stay alive as long as it is fed regularly with Purple Dragon Fruit. Otherwise, the side effect of hastened incubation will kill it instantly.”
As she said that, the girl’s face grew sadder. In Alpha’s warship, she was the one who helped him raise these little dragons. She had handled everything, from hastening the incubations to feeding them regularly, so she knew the importance of Purple Dragon Fruit to them.
Bu Fang understood at once. No wonder he could not sense the Demigod aura from this little dragon. It turned out that the incubations of all the little dragons on the warship were hastened, which resulted in a significant drop in their cultivation base. However, their meat was the real dragon meat…
There would be no slaughtering without its trade. It was a famous quote in his previous life, which seemed to apply to this world as well. Those in the upper echelons would go to great lengths to eat dragon meat.
“The dragon eggs were stolen from Dragon Valley… These little dragons are innocent,” the girl said as tears glistened in her eyes.
Bu Fang nodded.
Seeing that Bu Fang had no more questions for her, the girl came to the little dragon’s side and gave the Purple Dragon Fruit to it. The little dragon still looked a little wary, but dragons were clever creatures, so it quickly opened its mouth and devoured the fruit.
It did not take long for the weak little dragon to recover. Soon, it began to flap its wings happily, emanating a Nine-revolution Great Saint aura.
“Thank you… Thank you…”
The girl put her palms together and kept bowing at Bu Fang, Lord Dog, and the others. She was really grateful for their help.
“You worked for Alpha? What’s your name?” Tian Cang asked softly. He was always gentle with girls.
The girl glanced at him, blushed, and answered in a low voice, “You can call me Ah Zi. I’m from Xiayi Divine Dynasty, a slave Alpha bought from the slave market…”
A slave?
The expression of everyone present changed, and they looked at her with sympathy. The fate of a girl would always be miserable when she was a slave.
“I was a subject of the Great Goddess World until Xiayi Divine Dynasty invaded us. It is too formidable for us to resist. After the war, many of our people were sold to the slave market of the Divine Dynasty…” she said sadly.
It was the first time the crowd heard about the great worlds outside the Netherworld, so they were very curious.
Tian Cang looked at the girl with pity, then he took a chair and set it in front of her. “Sit down and tell us slowly… We mean you no harm. This will be your second home from now on,” he said.
Bu Fang looked at the gentle Tian Cang with a stunned face. ‘Is he trying to pick up this girl?!’
“Tell us about the outside world. What is the Divine Dynasty, and what are great worlds?” Tian Cang said, patting the girl on the shoulder.
She was actually very beautiful. Her eyes were big, and her eyelashes were long, and when they blinked, they seemed to talk. Free of Alpha’s control, the girl was much more animated.
“Yes… Speak slowly. We’re listening. And don’t worry, we don’t mean any harm,” Bu Fang said, nodding.
The girl breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that.
“This place of yours is a newly formed great world, so you probably don’t know anything about the Divine Dynasty. The world we all live in is actually called the Chaotic Universe. It is vast, filled with countless experts and Gods. However, apart from the unknown depths, the Universe is controlled by three Divine Dynasties…
“The three Divine Dynasties are Xiayi Divine Dynasty, Immortal Spirit Divine Dynasty, and Titan Divine Dynasty. Each of them is composed of countless great worlds, and in those great worlds are countless small worlds… They are what formed the Chaotic Universe. Oh, great worlds are divided into first-class, second-class, and third-class…
“Since your great world has just been formed, it can only be called a third-class great world,” Ah Zi said.
When she had finished, Nethery brought her a cup of sweet and sour plum juice. After thanking her, she brought the cup up and took a sip. Her eyes lit up in an instant, and she finished the rest of the juice. She had never drunk such a delicious drink, and she felt as though all her weariness had gone at that moment.
She seemed a little embarrassed at being the center of attention, but now that her thirst was quenched, she went on.
“The starry sky we are in right now belongs to Xiayi Divine Dynasty, and my homeland, the Great Goddess World, is located in Immortal Spirit Divine Dynasty. I was captured with many of my sisters because of the war.
“Also… The rulers of Xiayi Divine Dynasty are Celestials, the rulers of Immortal Spirit Divine Dynasty are Immortal Spirits, and the rulers of Titan Divine Dynasty are Titans… In each of the three races, there are Heavengods who master the strongest Laws of the Universe, supreme beings who walk among the Chaos and travel outside the Universe,” Ah Zi said enviously.
Bu Fang and the others were shocked by what she said, while Tian Cang sucked in a cold breath, his pupils constricting.
Great worlds, Divine Dynasties, the Chaotic Universe… These names sounded so abstract and profound. They finally realized how small they were. In the face of the Chaotic Universe, the so-called Great Saints were like specks of dust.
“Are Heavengods one level above Demigods?” Lord Dog suddenly asked in his magnetic voice.
Ah Zi gave him a strange look and shook her head. “Above Demigods are Gods. Although they are Gods, anyone who has comprehended a complete Law can be called a God. Heavengods are one level above Gods, and they master the strongest Laws of the Universe.”
Lord Dog nodded thoughtfully.
Many people were curious about what she meant by the strongest Laws of the Universe, but they did not ask her.
Ah Zi seemed to read their minds, and she explained, “The Power of the Laws is also called the Laws of the Great Path. There are many of them, as many as three thousand, but only a few of them are the strongest Laws…
“Destruction, Life, Transmigration, Time, and Space are the five strongest Laws that everybody knows now… As for the rest, I do not know.
“Each of these strongest Laws corresponds to a Heavengod… Therefore, Heavengods are supreme.”
With that, she said no more, for she had told Bu Fang and the others everything she knew.
The crowd fell silent.
Ah Zi understood very well the impact of her words. Just like a frog in the well that suddenly realized the vastness of the world, a moment of silence was necessary.
Bu Fang soon recovered himself, and he glanced indifferently at Ah Zi. He had been thinking about the level of the so-called God of Cooking mentioned by the System. He still could not quite figure it out even after hearing what she said. Was it a God or a Heavengod?
He had a strange feeling. It was as if there was a curtain of fog in front of him, and as long as he could lift it, he would be able to understand everything. So he concluded that the God of Cooking was not far from him. But then, the corner of his mouth twitched. He was nothing but a Nine-revolution Little Saint now. There was still a large gap to cross before he could become a Demigod, and an even greater gap to become the God of Cooking…
In any case, at least he was no longer confused.
After sorting out his mind, Bu Fang seemed happy. He glanced at the crowd and said, “I’m going to cook something.” With that, he lifted the curtain and stepped into the kitchen.
Lord Dog had recovered himself too, and his mouth began to water.
‘Cook?’ Ah Zi blinked, and she pursed her lips as she watched Bu Fang walk into the kitchen. ‘Right, this is a restaurant. I wonder how the dishes cooked by this chef would taste compared with Ah Zhuang’s? He can’t be better than Ah Zhuang… Before Alpha hired him with high pay, Ah Zhuang was the main chef of a restaurant in the capital of Xiayi Divine Dynasty. How could a chef in this remote region be better than him?’
Ah Zi had tasted the delicacies cooked by Ah Zhuang many times, and she still could not forget their delicious taste.
‘The cooking skills of this chef of a third-class great world… Well, I better don’t hope for anything delicious…’
