Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 1240 - 32: This Is What It Means When Food Is Heaven for the People
Annihilation ultimately couldn’t withstand and fled the battlefield, yet she gained clues about her father from the Black Dragon Princess’s mouth, deciding to reverse time and return to the past to find her biological father and ask the reasons why he abandoned her and her mother to leave alone.
Her act of activating her phoenix lineage to reverse time left a very obvious projection mark on the river of time, a mark which was captured by a certain research institution located in Xiangjiang in a distant timeline, whereupon this led to the development of the "Phoenix Point" related theory.
In the end, the research institution successfully created Phoenix Point using a collider, projecting it back to the past, but the hasty reckless actions led to the emergence of an Omega Rift located at the millennium timeline point.
Thus the origin story of Annihilation on the timeline has officially completed its loop.
In the Real World, altering someone’s fate isn’t this easy, of course.
But here, this is the Great Tide.
No matter whether it is spinach tofu, whether crab and persimmon coexist in harmony, after digestion and operation in the large intestine, they are all the same color, completely indistinguishable from one another.
Chen the Heavenly Monarch reached out both hands and lightly grasped the book.
An eight-foot-long centipede was brutally pulled out of the book by her barehanded.
Upon leaving the story at that instant, the centipede was confused.
Why am I a centipede?
Why did I turn into a centipede?
When someone describes a building looking like shorts, it doesn’t mean it really is a pair of shorts!
Did you learn Chinese? Do you know what the word "describe" means?
The big centipede was full of grievances, and when it saw the boiling pot of oil beside it, it felt even more aggrieved.
Isn’t this... is this correct?
Where is its logic? Where is its reasoning? Where is the pepper salt?
With a loud sizzle, the vibrant centipede was tossed into the pot by Chen the Heavenly Monarch, instantly sparking a flurry of bubbling oil flowers.
However, Chen the Heavenly Monarch didn’t stop there; she turned around and fished out a bird egg with a golden shell from the book, about the size of an ostrich egg.
This was the true purpose of her journey.
"Wait a minute!"
A voice from the phoenix egg sounding slightly panicked spoke: "Professor Chen, I am willing to join the Penglai Sect!"
"No need to be so polite; one phoenix is enough in Penglai."
"I really mean it... Chen Yajing dare to touch, believe it or not, I will come to find you now?"
"Oh? Then it’s a deal, don’t renege!"
Chen the Heavenly Monarch was not only unafraid but instead her eyes glowed, hungrily swallowing: "Lord of millions of flesh, quite the title, but how to cook it and what taste would it have, I wonder." 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
Her greedy gaze pierced the void, exchanging glances with the phoenix on the distant shore.
Annihilation’s expression subtly changed.
This person is odd.
In the cultivation system of the Twelve Laws, once one is advanced through the Dharma Sect of Righteous Path, it will evolve into twenty-eight pathways, corresponding with the twenty-eight constellations in the Star Disc Plan.
Among them, Garrison Soldiers Dharma Gate advances to Yulin Forbidden Army, then one could choose either General of Cavalry or Garrison General routes, respectively corresponding to the Horn Golden Dragon and the Jiao Wood Flood Dragon in the twenty-eight constellations.
Chess Herald Dharma Gate advances from Astrologer to Prophet, then one could choose either Dragon Tiger Heavenly Master or Imperial Astronomer routes, corresponding respectively to the Tail Fire Tiger and the Jishui Leopard in the twenty-eight constellations.
Advisor Dharma Gate advances from School Official to Yellow Gate Order, having as many as three paths to choose from.
Corresponding respectively to the Land God of Di Earth Racoon.
The Flower God corresponding to the Heart Moon Fox.
And Stove God corresponding to the Room Sun Rabbit!
People! Regard! Food! As! Heaven!
When these five radiant golden characters appeared behind Chen the Heavenly Monarch, even Annihilation couldn’t help but be secretly startled.
She turned out to be a Stove God!
What worldview, outlook on life, values, I don’t care about all that.
The billions of people in Huaxia’s heart quest, gathered merely into these five words.
——People regard food as heaven!
Filling the belly is the first need, the primary recognition.
Then ask how to eat, whether it is tasty, or whether the untasty ones can be turned into medicine.
Ludicrously off the mark!
Annihilation was dumbfounded. At this point in time, how could there be a Stove God here?
This is the third year of Ming Country, not the thirty-third year of Ming Country.
Where did you cultivate to gain this Taoism?
Upon seeing Chen the Heavenly Monarch reveal her identity as a Stove God, she knew the egg she painstakingly nurtured was not going to be preserved.
"Though the new government has only been established for three years, from the moment the British opened the national gate and the Black Tortoise Fleet was annihilated, countless people have fought fearlessly, sacrificing their lives for a full sixty years. Are billions of flesh rare with us?"
"Kids like you, growing up overseas, only glimpsing the contents of history books, can understand what cultural heritage of a race means?"
Chen the Heavenly Monarch smiled, cracking the phoenix egg, and the golden yolk flowed out.
"Zhuang Xiaodie has already joined the Penglai Sect, becoming a registered disciple of Immortal Academy. If you truly return sincerely, leaving this origin of your past life is enough, we will surely protect you well."
"As for what Western immortal bird, white-cut boiled salt is delicious oh!"
The golden yolk was poured into the oil pot through a filter, instantly puffing up and maturing in the scorching hot oil.
Egg can be cooked in a hundred ways, this is Guizhou fried egg.
Frying the egg yolk into a convenient noodle cake shape, paired with snail noodle soup, it is the ultimate delicacy of the mortal world.
"Let all the children return."
Seeing that the centipede and the egg pancake in the oil pot were cooked just right, Chen the Heavenly Monarch said to Zhou the Heavenly Monarch.
Zhou the Heavenly Monarch waved his hand, and all the various visions around instantly disappeared.
Ji Yan, Xu Changge, Yin Nan, Li Mumu, and Xiaodie were instantly pulled back into the Real World.
The five were either covered with blood stains or billows of smoke, clearly indicating they hadn’t led any peaceful lives at each respective timeline they traversed.
If not for the careful selection of these elite disciples, they could hardly withstand the sweeping Space Tide, perhaps not even remembering themselves upon return.
Out of nowhere came Chen the Heavenly Monarch carrying a large sea bowl with noodles, placing the centipede and fried egg on top, pouring a large spoonful of fragrant sauce, handing it to the bewildered Xiaodie.
"Today is your birthday, specifically made noodles for you, hurry and eat while it’s hot!"
"Uh?"
Xiaodie stared blankly, completely unresponsive.
Who could bear this? One moment watching parents perform live barbecue, and next suddenly being yanked back, having cake slathered over your face, while someone sings happy spinach potatoes beside you...
What’s going on?
"Quickly eat!"
Chen the Heavenly Monarch urged again: "If you don’t eat now, someone will come to snatch it, listen to my instructions, sip the soup first, bite the centipede then eat noodles, next bite the egg and eat noodles."
Xiaodie’s mind hadn’t yet caught up, mechanically following Chen the Heavenly Monarch’s guidance, she awkwardly took a couple bites.
The steaming noodle broth rushed into the stomach, exploding in a complex taste indescribable by words in the mouth, with countless things beyond her current brain capacity flowing into her mind.
Before she subconsciously took a third bite, Chen the Heavenly Monarch snatched the noodle bowl back.
"Alright, tasting is enough, the rest belongs to me."
"Huh?"
Xiaodie was dumbfounded.
Wasn’t it said this was a birthday noodle, made for me?
The other four stood by stunned.
Others were fine, but Li Mumu witnessed for the first time just how shameless Chen the Heavenly Monarch was.
As for us?
Lady I’m exhausted; had almost traversed time to the end points didn’t even get a sip of hot soup?
Moreover...I left and there are still two people, what about them when I’m gone?
Is this it then?
Where is the victory settlement screen and trophies?
You threw me out like skipping stones, came back without rewards!
Oh wait, the rewards were given ahead.
Chen the Heavenly Monarch handed each a peach.
Although the peaches were indeed delicious, not mentioning this project would be this complex.
Feeling utterly drained.
Watching Chen the Heavenly Monarch huddled in the corner wolfing down the noodles, realizing being duped into working for free, Li Mumu felt extremely drained.
