Chapter 1841 : Nethery Ascended the Throne
“What happened?” Lord Dog walked over and asked Bu Fang.
They could sense the changes in Void City, but they looked confused even now and had no idea what happened.
In the distance, Cursey was cheering because she had her own body now. She had always been the Queen’s clone, and now, she had become a living person.
“Some trifle between the Queen of Curses and the God of Cooking,” Bu Fang put his hands behind his back and said faintly. He did not hide anything from Lord Dog.
The universe where Void City was located was a dead universe. It had died in the battle with Soul God countless years ago, so all that remained of it was a city suspended in space, which had become a place of exile for all the universes.
Originally, it was impossible for such a large universe to have all its living things perished and unable to reproduce life. But after the battle with Soul God, the Queen of Curses was disheartened, and her power of the curses spread through the entire universe, causing all the dead planets to lose any possibility to recover their vitalities.
This was also why Void City was the only place with living beings in the Void Universe for so many years. And the living beings here were mostly from the other universes.
The only living beings born in the Void Universe were the Queen herself, the three dukes, and all the Cursed Goddesses.
Nethery was born in the Void Universe. This was her birthplace.
After this incident, the Void Universe would no longer be a dead place. With the Queen of Curses’ heart knot untied, the universe would produce countless living beings in the future and be restored to its former prosperity and glory.
And Void City would no longer be a place of exile. Of course, this was Bu Fang’s idea.
Under Bu Fang’s will, the exiles in District D were released from Void City. They were allowed to wander to all the planets that had recovered their vitalities. Without the entanglement of the power of curses, these planets were able to produce life.
To these exiles, this was, in fact, a gift. They had all committed crimes in the past and were banished to Void City. And now, they could wash away these crimes by producing new life.
The gates of District D opened with a crash.
Countless exiles rushed out of Void City frantically. They turned into shooting stars and fell onto different planets. They had ended their numbing life in the gloom and doom of Void City and began a whole new future.
In Bu Fang’s eyes, he seemed to see a Void Universe pulsating with life. Of course, compared with the Primitive Universe and the Chaotic Universe, the Void Universe could only be considered as a newborn.
Everything started all over again.
...
Nethery had become the Queen of Void City.
Under the escort of the three dukes, she sat on the throne of the queen.
The nobles of Void City all bowed excitedly at her. Because with the Queen, Void City had a soul, and this soul was the most difficult to replace.
Bu Fang, Lord Dog, Er Ha, and the others watched the inauguration ceremony from down below. They were inexplicably relieved.
The once ignorant Netherworld woman had grown up to be the ruler of a universe. They were filled with mixed emotions as memories came back to them.
Cursey bid her farewell to Bu Fang and the others. She had obtained Nethery’s permission and was planning to wander the Void Universe.
Of course, Cursey’s cultivation base was not weak. After all, she was once the Queen of Curses’ clone—she was strong enough to travel the universe alone.
She knew that although she had a human body now, she was, after all, considered a newborn person. She needed to see more things to supply her with more emotions, and only then could she grow into a truly complete person.
Bu Fang had some inexplicit feelings as he watched Cursey step on a spirit boat and disappear into the starry sky.
The universes were boundless, and the worlds were limitless. No matter ruthless or emotional, everyone was growing.
Mu Hongzi took Summer and his background music on a tour of Void City.
Today’s Void City was fully grown with colorful flowers and leaves. It was very beautiful. Although the architecture remained the gloomy style of the Queen of Curses, it was at least a place worth visiting.
An ancient city floating in the cosmos with a story of vicissitudes, perhaps Void City would become the eternal legend of the Void Universe.
...
The inauguration ceremony was over. It was time for Bu Fang and the others to leave—they needed to go to Earth.
The matter of Void City was now solved, and the real tricky thing was on Earth.
Soul God had gone to Earth to find his heart. If he did find it, it would be a nightmare for everyone—the Primitive Universe, the Chaotic Universe, and the Void Universe would live under his shadow.
Ever since Bu Fang learned that Soul God was born out of the God of Cooking’s evil will, he always had a strange feeling. Strictly speaking, Soul God was the God of Cooking. He might only know that his heart was on Earth. As for exactly where it was, he might not be sure.
In the past, the God of Cooking had taken Soul God’s heart and brought it back to Earth, but no one knew where he had hidden it.
In fact, Soul God was a poor guy. He was a person without a soul. Severed of seven emotions and devoid of six desires, he was actually about the same as a puppet.
No... He was worse than a puppet.
Whitey was a puppet, but it lived happier than Soul God. There was nothing comparable.
“It’s time to go to Earth.”
When Bu Fang brought out the idea, Lord Dog, Er Ha, Shrimpy, and Foxy all said that they would go with him. He did not expect that, so he had an odd look on his face.
“You don’t care about the Chaotic Universe anymore?”
The four modern-day Heavengods were in charge of everything in the Chaotic Universe. Was it really good that they just left like this?
“Don’t worry... Isn’t Yanyu there? When heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a great man, it always first frustrates his spirit and will...” Er Ha grinned, then added, “If she wants to become Heavengod Transmigration, these are all the things she has to go through.”
On a rare occasion, Lord Dog did not refute Er Ha this time. Instead, he nodded seriously.
Bu Fang had a feeling that these people were using Xiao Yanyu. He wondered if he had made the right decision by recommending her to be Heavengod Transmigration.
To Bu Fang’s surprise, Mu Hongzi and Summer also joined the team to Earth...
Mu Hongzi sighed with an emotional look on his face. “It’s been years since I last went back. It’s time to renew my background music...”
Bu Fang had nothing to say about that.
Rumble!
With a flick of his finger, white dots of light began to emerge around Bu Fang, enveloping all his old friends.
In the distance, Nethery held the hem of her luxury gown that represented the Queen of Curses and ran wildly toward them...
With a humming sound, streams of light surged, wrapped up Nethery, and disappeared completely.
The three dukes were dumbfounded. The Queen of Curses... had slipped away on the second day after her inauguration?!
...
When Bu Fang and the others descended on Earth, it had been completely transformed into a battlefield. Soul Demons traveled across the globe, while the Heavenly Guards of the Celestial Court were fighting them.
These Soul Demons were Soul God’s remnant forces. They reproduced too fast. Given enough time, they would be transformed into another great army.
Bu Fang glanced around the battlefield. War was always cruel and bloody. That was, of course, if he was not in that war.
Facing the countless Soul Demons, Bu Fang cooked a dish on the spot. The fragrance of the dish spread out and lingered throughout the entire Ancestral Planet.
Soon, the Soul Demons on the Ancestral Planet vanished like summer snow.
Shrill whistling sounds echoed out. The next moment, Tongtian, Yuanshi Tianzun, and the other experts appeared at Bu Fang’s side as if they had teleported over.
Bu Fang, holding the dish, looked indifferently at them.
“Soul God and the seven Great Soul Overlords are gone... We can’t find them. They haven’t shown a trace.” Tongtian’s face was grave.
Some ordinary Soul Demons were solved, but Soul God was the real threat. However, since he descended on Earth, he had not shown up again. This, to them, was not good news. After all, if they allowed Soul God to find his heart, he would have gathered all his body parts and become an Ancestral God. At that time, none of them would be his match.
“Don’t panic. Soul God hasn’t found his heart... In fact, he also doesn’t know where the heart is. He’s looking for it now,” Bu Fang said and put his hands behind his back. However, he furrowed his brows the next moment.
Essentially, Soul God was the God of Cooking. If anyone could find the heart, it would be Soul God, for he was the person who knew the God of Cooking best. Even the Queen of Curses did not know the God of Cooking as well as Soul God did.
In fact, Bu Fang had been thinking and guessing where the heart was hidden. During the thousand years when Soul God was sealed, he had visited Earth, but he did not find any clues. He even wondered if Soul God’s heart was actually on Earth.
However, based on the situation that Soul God tried to devour Earth after he had gathered most of his body parts, his heart was certainly on Earth.
And... Why did Soul God not choose to devour Earth now?
Bu Fang frowned once again. Perhaps Soul God had made further guesses about where the heart was hidden.
“So, the pressing matter now is to find Soul God,” Bu Fang said.
The God of Cooking had retired on Earth. Where was he most likely to hide Soul God’s heart?
‘In fact, Soul God’s heart is the God of Cooking’s heart...’
Bu Fang seemed to have suddenly thought of something. He raised his hand. His divine sense surged, and energy converged into an image before him.
He was no stranger to the image.
‘The sky is gray, and the wilderness is boundless... A lush grassland, a wooden cabin... This seems to be the place where the God of Cooking and the Queen of Curses lived...
‘I see... The place they lived was on Earth?!’
Bu Fang’s eyes lit up. He seemed to have captured some important information.
The aging God of Cooking was walking the Emotional Path. That meant he probably missed everything there until he died. It was very likely that he brought Soul God’s heart to where his bones were buried, which was also the place where he had lived with the Queen of Curses.
The memories of that place were very important for the Queen of Curses, and they must have been equally important for the God of Cooking...
Bu Fang shook his hand and let the others look at the image carefully.
“Find this place on the Ancestral Planet. Soul God must be searching for it as well. We must find it before he does...” Bu Fang said.
The eyes of Tongtian, Yuanshi Tianzun, and the other experts lit up at the same time. After that, they gave out the orders, turned into streams of light, and spread out across the globe.
Lord Dog, Er Ha, and the others had also gone to search the place. Mu Hongzi, on the other hand, visited his hometown with Summer while searching for the place.
Nethery and Whitey followed at Bu Fang’s side.
Although a clue was found, Bu Fang was still frowning. It seemed to him that something was wrong.
Soul God was too quiet, so much so that it was a little bit strange. He hoped he was not thinking too much.
