Support? What support could a chef call? Could he call upon a formidable army?
The Hourglass of Time and Space was something that could only be met but could not be sought. It was the divine artifact of the universe, a top-grade consumable treasure, and there were not many of them out there.
If it were not for helping Soul sit on the throne of Void City, the Soul Demon Universe probably would not have used it at all, which had twisted space and time and brought in a fearsome army of Soul Demons.
So, what support could Bu Fang call?
Many people in the restaurant were confused. Marquis Lang Gu and a few others, however, had absolute faith in Bu Fang, mainly because he had created too many miracles. Wasn’t Lord Dog and Er Ha the support that he had called for?
Lord Dog glanced at Bu Fang. His face froze slightly when he saw Bu Fang produce the golden recipe. ‘It seems that he’s going to cook the dish in that recipe… Is he trying to summon Heavengod Destruction?’ Lord Dog thought to himself. He could not help but feel a little excited.
Of the five Heavengods of the Chaotic Universe, except Heavengod Transmigration who had fled to the Soul Demon Universe, only he and Er Ha had awakened. Heavengod Destruction and Heavengod Space had not returned yet.
When the Temple of Heavengod Destruction appeared not long ago, Lord Dog had guessed that Heavengod Destruction was about to return. As for when he would return, it would depend on when Bu Fang cooked that dish. So Lord Dog trusted Bu Fang when he said he was going to call for support.
Outside the restaurant, the rumble continued. The Soul Demons seemed to be having fun. They kept attacking the restaurant, but it stood unmoving like a mountain. Its defense was not something that these Soul Demons could break.
Bu Fang lifted the curtain and stepped into the kitchen. He began to prepare to cook.
At this moment, the shaking of the restaurant almost completely disappeared.
Inside the kitchen, Bu Fang took out the golden recipe. A golden glow swirled over it. It was the aura of the God of Cooking’s recipe, and he was very familiar with it.
The dish for Lord Dog’s recipe was Sweet ‘n’ Sour Ribs, and the dish for Er Ha’s recipe was spicy strip. He wondered what kind of dish this recipe would produce?
‘Heavengod Destruction should be a domineering existence, right? A monstrous being who could destroy the heavens with a punch, exterminate the earth with a kick, and shatter the stars with a lash of his tail…’
Bu Fang tried to imagine Heavengod Destruction’s appearance. The corners of his mouth lifted, and then he shook his head. If truth be told, he was really curious about this Heavengod.
Of the five Heavengods, which one was the most destructive? Heavengod Destruction, of course. Since he held the Law of Destruction, which was the supreme Law of the Universe that represented destruction, his destructive power was naturally unparalleled.
Bu Fang did not start cooking immediately. He leaned back on the stove, closed his eyes, and began to simulate in his spirit sea the way the dish was cooked as written in the recipe.
Time went by slowly.
The dish in the God of Cooking’s recipe was amazing. Even Bu Fang could not guess what he was cooking until he had done it himself. He had to simulate the cooking method in his spirit sea, and he would only begin cooking after making sure the method was correct.
The simulation would consume a tremendous amount of energy. Bu Fang had depleted his mental force when he fought the army of Soul Demons earlier, but much of it had recovered now. Therefore, he would not face too much difficulty in cooking the dish.
The kitchen was silent. Bu Fang closed his eyes, and energy slowly swirled around him.
Outside the restaurant, the Soul Demons continued to roar and hiss. However, they did not seem to be as noisy as before. Duchess Yunlan and Duchess Nightmare frowned. Through the windows, they could see that many Soul Demons seemed to have left the restaurant’s boundary and were flying toward the distance.
“Dammit! They are heading for the Queen’s palace!” Duchess Nightmare cried out, her pupils narrowing.
“While we are hiding here, Soul cannot wait to ascend to the throne…” Duchess Yunlan sighed.
The restaurant’s defense was invincible, but while it stopped the Soul Demons, it also trapped them inside. Duchess Yunlan and Duchess Nightmare exchanged a glance and saw the grave look in each other’s eyes.
The Queen of Curses’ palace was the most important place of Void City, and they could not allow those Soul Demons to set foot in it. As dukes, they had the responsibility and obligation to safeguard that holy site. Both of them had a look of determination in their eyes. Then, they stepped out of the restaurant together.
Once outside, some Soul Demons immediately hissed and darted toward them. To the two dukes, these Soul Demons were as weak as ants, and they crushed them easily just by waving their hands.
Lord Dog and Er Ha did not go out. Houtu and Nethery were made to stay in the restaurant by the two dukes as well. The main reason was that they did not want to put the two Cursed Goddesses in danger.
The moment the two dukes walked out of the restaurant, they attracted the enemies’ attention. Countless Soul Demons came at them at once. Hovering in midair, Envy Great Soul Overlord led the army and stopped the two dukes.
The strength of the Great Soul Overlord was not weaker than that of a duke, and there were six other such experts in the Soul Demon Universe. Furthermore, the top Great Soul Overlord among them was so strong that his strength was almost approaching that of the Soul God.
Duke-level experts could never resist such a formidable existence. This was also the reason why the Soul Demon Universe could be so fearsome.
Of all the universes, the Soul Demon Universe and the Primitive Universe were the top universes. They could not beat each other in the clash between their top Chaotic Saints, so they had to rely on Void City to break the balance.

However, while fighting the Primitive Universe, the Soul Demon Universe was able to send three Great Soul Overlords to Void City. This suggested that it had the upper hand in this confrontation.
Duchess Yunlan fought the Great Soul Overlord in midair. She became serious as her moves sent terrifying blasts across the sky. Under the impact of the energy, many Soul Demons were turned into mere skeletons.
Duchess Nightmare flew away, heading toward the Queen of Curses’ palace. The importance of the palace was self-evident, and she naturally needed to safeguard it.
Alone, Duchess Yunlan stopped Envy Great Soul Overlord and even faced numerous Soul Demons. She was in a disadvantageous position. Suppressed by so many Soul Demons, she seemed a little out of breath, but she still tried to hold on strong against the enemies.
…
The atmosphere in the restaurant was somewhat stagnant. Marquis Lang Gu and others hesitated for a long time. Their aura was weak, mainly because they had consumed too much energy in the previous battle. However, how could they sit idly by and do nothing when Void City was on the verge of destruction?
After hesitating for a long while, Marquis Lang Gu and others rushed out of the restaurant. In just a flash, they were engulfed by countless Soul Demons. Although they were stronger than any single Soul Demon, their enemy’s numbers were too great. They were completely overwhelmed.
…
Inside the restaurant, Bu Fang finally opened his eyes. Wisps of white smoke rose from the top of his head, which were produced after his spirit sea rotated at high speed. His eyes flashed. With a shake of his hand, the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife fell into his grip and began to spin in his palm.
After hundreds of simulations, Bu Fang finally cooked the dish. That gave him confidence.
The air was filled with a humming sound as ingredients flew out. Following an intuition, he started cooking. His eyes were as calm as still pools.
A large chunk of meat emerged. It was the meat of a top Great Soul Overlord, the very ingredient that the Pride Great Soul Overlord had turned into. Using an ingredient of this level to make the dish was just right. It was the perfect ingredient to summon Heavengod Destruction.
Holding the kitchen knife with one hand, Bu Fang cut the meat at high speed on the chopping board. The meat was quickly minced and diced, scattering across the chopping board. He also chopped up some spirit herbs and spirit ingredients.
That was not all. He then took out another piece of Soul Demon meat with a bone in it and minced it, flesh and bone. After that, he mixed the meat with other ingredients, put it into the wok, and began frying it.
Sizzle!
Bu Fang tossed the wok, and the ingredients tumbled inside. The golden oil bubbled noisily and flickered under the bright lamplight. He did not look like he was cooking with top-quality ingredients. Instead, they looked like some extremely ordinary ingredients.
He swung the Qilin Transmigration Ladle, spreading out the ingredients that had been piled up in the wok. Then, he sprinkled some soy sauce, making the dish a little darker in color. The rich aroma of meat and vegetables erupted from the wok and lingered before his nose.
Bu Fang’s movements were not slow. Soon, the ingredient left the wok and was poured into a porcelain bowl. In fact, he still did not know what he was cooking, but he had a rough shape of the dish in his mind.
When he took out the large heap of minced meat, which he had chopped up with hundreds of thousands of slashes, his mind became clearer and clearer.
Following the description in the recipe, Bu Fang relied on his senses to wrap up the fried ingredients with the meat paste as if he were making dumplings.
Was he making Divine Seal Dumplings? Bu Fang shook his head. No, it was not Divine Seal Dumplings. As the meat paste was kneaded into a ball, the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably. He was not making dumplings but meatballs.
At this moment, Bu Fang’s mind was getting clearer.
Although the cooking method was fundamentally different from that of Soul Demon meatballs, Bu Fang could confirm now that this thing was Soul Demon meatballs.
One meatball after another appeared and rolled across the stove. Each of them seemed to be restless, with powerful energy surging in it.
Bu Fang poured oil into the Black Turtle Constellation Wok and mixed it with the Law of Destruction. Strands of destructive forces swam in the oil, making it seem as if the wok was containing countless dragons.
He put the kneaded meatballs into the wok. The Law of Destruction immediately leaped over and wrapped them up. Soon, the surface of the meatballs began to turn golden brown, the meat gradually stiffened, and the rich aroma of meat drifted out. The meaty aroma seemed to penetrate deep into the soul. Bu Fang’s eyes could not help but light up.
All the dishes he cooked according to the God of Cooking’s recipes in the past were served in bowls. However, this dish was served in a… basket. Looking at the basket of golden Soul Demon meatballs, Bu Fang did not know what to say.
At this moment, he seemed to have guessed many things. ‘Could Heavengod Destruction be…’
Tiny holes appeared across the spoon of the Qilin Transmigration Ladle, and Bu Fang used it to scoop up the golden Soul Demon meatballs, which were still dripping with oil.
An aroma of fried food wafted out of the kitchen. It smelled delicious and made everyone hungry. Houtu, Nethery, and others were puzzled, wondering what Bu Fang was cooking at this time. Didn’t he say he was going to call for support? Where was the support?
Meanwhile, Foxy was twisting restlessly in Nethery’s arms. Her fur had begun to turn blood-red by itself, her eyes watery. Holding her head with her little paws, she seemed to hear something calling her in the depths of her head.
The little fox covered her face with her paws. What was wrong with her? Could she be a little more reserved? Could she not be so excited whenever she smelled the aroma of food? She had to control herself!
Foxy’s tails wagged excitedly. Suddenly, the tinkle of a bell rang out in the restaurant. The kitchen’s curtain was lifted, and a skinny figure walked out from it.
Foxy’s eyes lit up instantly. In a flash, she jumped out of Nethery’s arms, turned into a stream of light, and sped toward the figure that had just walked out of the kitchen!
