The Fire Realm Eatery was bustling with activity despite the heavy snowfall, filled with numerous guests.
Inside the kitchen building, Suo Zi was focused on cooking. Over two decades had passed, and he had become one of the head chefs of the Fire Realm Eatery. After all, the owner, 'Black Butcher,' rarely cooked himself, leaving it to the main chefs and numerous disciples.
"Alright, take them all up," Suo Zi said, having completed a Fire Realm Feast.
"Yes," a waiter waiting nearby immediately took the famous 'Fire Realm Feast' to the customers.
Suo Zi relaxed.
As a head chef, he was responsible for some important dishes, while ordinary dishes could be left to his junior apprentices.
"Becoming a head chef has significantly increased my Chaos Crystal earnings. A few more cycles, and I'll have enough resources to attempt a breakthrough," Suo Zi thought, filled with anticipation for the future as he counted his growing savings.
"Senior Brother Suo Zi, your brother is here, asking for you," a voice came from outside the kitchen building.
"Okay," Suo Zi replied and walked outside. As a head chef, he wasn't too busy.
Suo Zi walked familiarly to a hall where dozens of guests were seated. Suo Yun was seated in the main seat.
"Suo Zi," Suo Yun called out.
Suo Zi walked over.
"Today, I'm hosting a banquet for my brothers in the building," Suo Yun said with a laugh. "You have to cook yourself! Our Thousand Mountains Building brothers all love your cooking."
"Palace Lord's brother's skills are well-known to us."
"Thank you, Brother Suo Zi!"
The surrounding guests laughed. Those invited by Suo Yun were almost all Void True Gods from the Thousand Mountains Building.
Suo Zi smiled familiarly, having long grown accustomed to dealing with guests. "I'll definitely satisfy everyone. I'll go cook now."
"Go ahead and get busy. Come and drink with us when you're done," Suo Yun instructed.
"Okay," Suo Zi immediately left the hall.
"Palace Lord Suo Yun, why don't you have your brother join my Thousand Mountains Building?"
"Palace Lord Qiu, you don't know, my brother just wants to follow his master to learn the culinary arts and doesn't want to come to the Thousand Mountains Building at all," Suo Yun said. The members of the Thousand Mountains Building ate, drank, and chatted in the hall. 'Suo Yun,' one of the thirty-nine Palace Lords of the Thousand Mountains Building, was clearly of high status.
Suo Zi returned to the kitchen building and looked at the transmission token that contained a detailed menu. He assigned some simple dishes to his junior apprentices, but he had to personally handle many of the main dishes.
"Suo Yun has completely changed in the twenty-odd cycles since we came to Huyang City," Suo Zi thought. He had grown up with Suo Yun in the tribe, so he could sense the changes in Suo Yun within Huyang City. "It's hard for me to tell which of his words are true anymore."
"He often comes to the Fire Realm Eatery, not because of me, but to have a chance encounter with God Monarch Luo He," Suo Zi knew this very well. "He was recruited by the dark force Thousand Mountains Building and promoted to Palace Lord because of God Monarch Luo He."
In the twenty-odd cycles, Suo Zi welcomed and saw off numerous guests. He could sense the invisible influence of God Monarch Luo He.
Because of God Monarch Luo He, many Eternal True Gods were willing to come to the Fire Realm Eatery.
Because of God Monarch Luo He, the Fire Realm Eatery had expanded several times over, and business was much better.
Because of God Monarch Luo He, he, Suo Zi, was also being heavily cultivated by the owner.
"God Monarch Luo He is here," suddenly, the waiters of the Fire Realm Eatery became excited, passing the message to each other.
"God Monarch Luo He is here?" Suo Zi also looked outside the building and saw Luo Feng, Mo Luosa, and Moyu Qingyan descending in the distance. The owner, 'Black Butcher,' had already taken the initiative to greet them.
...
"Your Honor," Black Butcher said enthusiastically and respectfully.
He had also come to the Origin Continent by breaking through reincarnation. He struggled hard to get to where he was today. Because Luo Feng liked to come to the Fire Realm Eatery, his life had improved significantly. In these twenty-odd cycles, he had been able to quickly accumulate resources.
He didn't care about being humble; he was afraid of not seeing hope. In the past, he had been running the eatery for a long time, and he had been squeezed by dark forces. Most of the time, he didn't earn much, and he even lost money when he was unlucky.
The good life of these twenty-odd cycles had accumulated more wealth than all the previous time combined, naturally allowing him to purchase resources to assist in his cultivation.
"Black Butcher, your Fire Realm Feast is getting better and better. I crave it after not coming for a while," Luo Feng said with a smile.
"It's my honor that Your Honor likes it. I'll cook right away and try to do even better," Black Butcher said, grinning with a simple smile. "Supreme Venerable Shang and the others are at the usual place."
Luo Feng nodded and flew towards the familiar secret building.
During the flight, some waiters of the Fire Realm Eatery saw Luo Feng and were very respectful, and many guests were also respectful, including the respectfully flattering 'Suo Yun.'
"That's Suo Yun. He actually joined the dark forces. He and Suo Zi... are on completely different paths," Luo Feng thought, able to remember all the faces with a glance.
Luo Feng paid quite a bit of attention to Suo Zi and Suo Yun.
After all, they were the first batch of creatures he had saved when he came to the Origin Continent, and they had come to Huyang City at the same time as him. Luo Feng was still very much looking forward to their future development.
But joining the dark forces was something Luo Feng didn't like.
"Whoosh."
Luo Feng flew to the secret building.
"Brother Luo He," Shang Tianyan and another Eternal True God, Sang Shuiyun, were already waiting at the door.
Moyu Qingyan was guarding outside the building.
Mo Luosa relaxed and walked alone to a nearby building, instructing Black Butcher: "Arrange some food and drink; you know my taste."
"Don't worry, I understand," Black Butcher immediately arranged everything. After such a long time together, he could feel that this servant 'Luosa' had an unusual relationship with God Monarch Luo He.
Immediately, Black Butcher was full of fighting spirit and began to adjust his mood. He wanted to make a Fire Realm Feast with all his might. After all, 'God Monarch Luo He' was his most important guest, and he had to serve him well.
Suo Yun, who was watching Luo Feng enter the building from afar, narrowed his eyes and pondered.
"Palace Lord Suo Yun, is that God Monarch Luo He?" Palace Lord Qiu looked from afar, with envy and awe in his eyes. As a core member of the dark force 'Thousand Mountains Building,' Palace Lord Qiu was well aware that God Monarch Luo He was the top existence in Huyang City, and the five major families had to restrain themselves in front of him.
"Yes, God Monarch Luo He saved my life back then. If it weren't for the God Monarch, my brother and I would have died long ago," Suo Yun praised.
...
Inside the secret building.
Luo Feng, Shang Tianyan, and Sang Shuiyun sat down separately.
Shang Tianyan said with a smile: "Brother Luo He, when you were looking for me, I happened to be here with Sang Shuiyun at the Fire Realm Eatery."
"You two have a good relationship, always coming and going together," Luo Feng teased.
There were two Eternal True Gods in the entire Huyang City who were infatuated with 'Building Master Dream Flower,' namely Shang Tianyan and Sang Shuiyun. They were said to be rivals in love, but they actually had a good relationship.
"Shang and I were all alone in Huyang City back then, without any attachments. That's when we met," Sang Shuiyun shook his head. "And now, I'm still carefree and unattached, but he's established the Tianyan Sect, painstakingly teaching a bunch of disciples, adding a bunch of burdens, and making himself work hard."
Sang Shuiyun had wings and always had a decadent aura, and his personality was somewhat eccentric.
"I've spent countless efforts on refining weapons, so I have to pass it on," Shang Tianyan said.
"Why do you have to pass on your own skills? There are many weapon refining masters in the entire Origin Continent who are stronger than you. The loss of your weapon refining skills is just a trivial matter," Sang Shuiyun said. "Don't take yourself too seriously; we are just insignificant waves on the Origin Continent."
Shang Tianyan said: "Small waves also have times when they ripple. Someone as decadent as you can't even be considered a wave; you can only be considered dust."
"I'm dust, you're a wave," Sang Shuiyun shook his head. "Actually, even if you want to pass on your skills, you only need to take in a few disciples. Establishing a sect specifically, with the burden of the sect, how can you be truly free? Fortunately, you were lucky and met God Monarch Luo He. Only in the past twenty-odd cycles have you been carefree and free."
"Haha, I have to thank Brother Luo He," Shang Tianyan looked at Luo Feng. "In the past, there were many things I couldn't get rid of, after all, I had to consider the entire sect. Now, the various forces don't dare to go too far."
Luo Feng said: "Brother Shang, if you don't care about the sect, don't care about the disciples, you can be as carefree as Sang Shuiyun."
Sang Shuiyun nodded: "He's just stupid."
"Shut up if you can't speak. I have important things to discuss with Brother Luo He. You can leave first," Shang Tianyan urged.
"I'm leaving," Sang Shuiyun simply said, and then got up and left leisurely.
Luo Feng looked at that Sang Shuiyun.
He could feel Sang Shuiyun's eccentricity. In this world, it seemed that there was nothing that Sang Shuiyun truly cared about, as if he were a passerby in the world.
"You actually became friends with Sang Shuiyun with this temper," Luo Feng said with emotion.
"He's very similar to me," Shang Tianyan said.
"Very similar?" Luo Feng was surprised.
In his opinion, Shang Tianyan and Sang Shuiyun had completely different temperaments. One loved to make friends and painstakingly taught disciples and managed the sect. The other was extremely eccentric and didn't care about anyone.
"In Huyang City, I understand him the most, and he understands me the most," Shang Tianyan said with a smile. "Perhaps that's why we both are infatuated with Building Master Dream Flower."
"I don't understand you," Luo Feng shook his head.
The twenty-odd cycles had also made Luo Feng and Shang Tianyan's relationship extremely good, and the two sides were also compatible in temperament. Luo Feng pitied the weak, and Shang Tianyan also had the temperament of pitying the weak, otherwise, why would he painstakingly teach the disciples?
The two of them ate, drank, and chatted casually, relaxed and at ease.
Suddenly -
"Buzz."
A small universe domain appeared in the Fire Realm Eatery.
Luo Feng and Shang Tianyan both turned their heads to look. Their eyes passed through the walls and saw the owner of the Fire Realm Eatery, 'Black Butcher,' who had just made the Fire Realm Feast. Black Butcher, while wholeheartedly making the Fire Realm Feast, suddenly realized and broke through the last bottleneck.
The source of the law he had mastered naturally formed a domain.
"I didn't expect the owner of this Fire Realm Eatery to break through and become an Eternal True God," Shang Tianyan said in surprise.
"He actually broke through to become an Eternal True God by making a Fire Realm Feast for us. This Fire Realm Feast must be very delicious," Luo Feng was a little hungry.
