My Masters Have Gone Mad! They Want Me to Treat Tribulations as Snacks?

As soon as Tongtian Jiaozhu spoke, Yuanshi Tianzun's face instantly darkened.

"Third Brother! You're causing trouble again!"

He lowered his voice and reprimanded, his tone filled with anger.

"Didn't you see how dangerous it was just now? If anything had happened to Lin Shen, could you have taken responsibility?"

"But he's fine now!"

Tongtian Jiaozhu retorted, puffing out his chest.

"Look at him, he clearly hasn't eaten enough! As his masters, we can't let our disciple go hungry, can we?"

"That doesn't mean he can eat anything!"

Yuanshi Tianzun was so angry his words became blunt.

"Is Calamity Fiend Qi food? Is your brain full of muscle?"

He truly couldn't understand his third brother's thought process.

Wouldn't any normal person, after seeing what just happened, be filled with lingering fear and want to quickly bring their disciple back to Kunlun Mountain to hide him?

But this guy, he actually asked if his disciple wanted another bite!

"I..."

Tongtian Jiaozhu was rendered speechless by the retort.

Although he was carefree, he also knew his second brother was making sense.

It had indeed been quite scary just now. If it weren't for Little Lin Shen's extraordinary talent, any other creature would have long since perished.

Lin Shen, listening to his two masters argue from the side, felt extremely anxious.

Third Master was right!

I just haven't eaten enough!

That one bite just now was, at most, an appetizer.

Looking at the vast expanse of dark "clouds" in the sky above the battlefield, he was so tempted his mouth began to water.

The taste, spicy and tingly with a hint of sweet aftertaste, was simply a delicacy!

He quickly extended his chubby little hand and tugged at Tongtian Jiaozhu's sleeve.

Then he pointed to his own little mouth, and then pointed to the distant battlefield.

"Yiya! Yiya ya!"

He used all his strength to express his craving.

His round, big eyes were filled with longing for the delicious food.

Seeing Lin Shen's appearance, Tongtian Jiaozhu instantly gained confidence.

"Eldest Brother! Second Brother! Look!"

He held Lin Shen up in front of them.

"It's not that I want him to eat it, he wants to eat it himself! As elders, we must respect the child's wishes!"

Yuanshi Tianzun: "..."

He looked at Lin Shen's gluttonous little cat-like appearance and was momentarily speechless.

He couldn't understand why any creature would develop an appetite for Calamity Fiend Qi.

This defied the supreme principles of the Heavenly Dao!

Taishang Laojun watched from the side, a glint of wisdom flashing in his eyes.

He didn't participate in his two brothers' argument but was rapidly deducing everything.

Lin Shen's consumption of the fiend qi not only caused no harm but was beneficial.

This indicated that Lin Shen's body, or rather his unique Origin Qi, possessed a "transformation" ability that they could not comprehend.

It could convert the foul Calamity Fiend Qi into the purest energy.

If this deduction was true...

Then what did Lin Shen's existence mean for the entire Primordial World, for this Calamity?

A thought, so bold it made him tremble, surfaced in Taishang Laojun's heart.

His gaze towards Lin Shen instantly changed.

No longer was he merely looking at a precious disciple.

It was more like looking at a supreme treasure that could alter the very structure of heaven and earth.

"Second Brother, Third Brother, cease your quarreling."

Taishang Laojun spoke slowly. His voice was not loud, but it instantly silenced the arguing pair.

He reached out and took Lin Shen, looking at him gently.

"Lin Shen, tell me, after eating that thing, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

Lin Shen shook his head, patted his round little belly, and let out a burp.

"Then... do you want to eat more?"

Taishang Laojun asked again.

Lin Shen's eyes instantly lit up, and he nodded his little head like pounding garlic.

Seeing this, Taishang Laojun had already made up his mind.

He took a deep breath and said to Yuanshi and Tongtian.

"Since Lin Shen wants to eat it and it's harmless to him, then let him eat some more. It won't hurt."

"Big Brother?!"

Yuanshi Tianzun looked at him in shock.

He never expected his usually steady elder brother to agree to the third brother's absurd idea.

"Second Brother, listen to me."

Taishang Laojun's eyes became incredibly deep.

"We both know that the Calamity is the operation of the Heavenly Dao, and as long as the malevolent energy doesn't disappear, the Calamity will not end."

"All beings in the Primordial World will perish in this catastrophe."

"But what if... Lin Shen could devour all of this malevolent energy?"

Taishang Laojun's words struck Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu's minds like thunder.

The two instantly understood their elder brother's meaning.

If Lin Shen could truly feed on the Calamity Fiend Qi, wouldn't he be a walking "Calamity purifier"?

As long as he was here, the power of the Calamity could be continuously weakened.

The casualties of the Primordial World's inhabitants would be reduced.

Perhaps... this catastrophe could even be ended early!

This idea was too crazy, and too tempting!

Yuanshi Tianzun's breathing became rapid.

He had always taken it upon himself to elucidate the Heavenly Dao and act in accordance with heaven's will.

If he could quell the Calamity in this way and save all living beings, what immense merit that would be!

Tongtian Jiaozhu's face turned red with excitement.

He thought more directly: If all the malevolent energy was eaten by his disciple, what would the Dragon, Phoenix, and Kirin tribes have to fight for?

No one would have to die, and everyone would be happy!

Moreover, his disciple could eat his fill!

This was simply a perfect thing!

"Big Brother is right! Let's do it!"

Tongtian Jiaozhu slapped his thigh and said excitedly.

"Let's go and lure all that malevolent energy over so our good disciple can eat his fill!"

"Don't be rash!"

Taishang Laojun immediately stopped him.

"This matter requires careful planning."

"We still don't know Lin Shen's limit for devouring malevolent energy. If we act too hastily, it might harm him."

"Then what should we do?"

Tongtian Jiaozhu asked anxiously.

"Let him try a small amount first."

Taishang Laojun pondered.

"We will stay here and guard him."

"Let him lure the malevolent energy himself. He can eat as much as he can."

"We will observe carefully from the side, and if we notice anything amiss, we will stop him immediately."

This proposal was steady and feasible.

Yuanshi Tianzun pondered for a moment and also nodded in agreement.

Thus, the three top figures of the Primordial World reached a decision that would seem absolutely insane to outsiders.

They were going to proactively let their precious disciple devour the extremely poisonous Calamity Fiend Qi.

Lin Shen was unaware of the complex psychological activities of his three masters.

He only knew that his masters seemed to have agreed to let him continue "eating"!

He kicked his little legs happily in Taishang Laojun's arms.

Impatiently, he poked his little head out and looked towards the battlefield in the sky again.

There was still plenty of "food" there!

He took a deep breath, puffed out his cheeks again, and aimed at another smaller cloud of malevolent energy.

"Eat!"

Another black pillar of energy roared through the air.

Thousands of miles away, the Demon Ancestor Luohu, who was observing in secret, saw this scene and his eyes turned red.

Again?!

Still again?!

Stealing his food right in front of him?

This is too much!

Three Pure Ones, you are going too far!

Luohu trembled with rage, his demonic energy surging wildly within him.

He could barely suppress the urge to attack.

He watched as the malevolent energy he had coveted for so long was once again swallowed by that little thing.

And then... nothing happened.

Luohu's Dao heart was completely in turmoil.

He had cultivated the demonic path for countless eons and knew the terror of Calamity Fiend Qi.

It was the embodiment of the world's negative emotions, a symbol of destruction and finality.

But that little thing treated it like food?

What kind of monster was this?

An unprecedented sense of crisis washed over Luohu.

He realized that if he allowed that little thing to keep "eating" like this, his plans, which he had schemed for countless years, would be completely ruined!

No!

He couldn't wait any longer!

He had to find a way to capture that little thing!

Killing intent flashed in Luohu's eyes as he frantically began to think of a countermeasure.

With the Three Pure Ones guarding nearby, a direct confrontation was impossible.

He needed to find a way to lure them away!

Meanwhile, on the other side, Lin Shen contentedly finished his second "snack."

He let out a satisfied burp.

His body felt warm, and his cultivation had improved by a sliver.

This feeling was amazing!

However, this one tasted a bit different from the last.

The last one was spicy, but this one was sweeter, with a faint fruity aroma.

It seemed that different types of malevolent energy tasted different?

This was like a giant buffet!

He licked his lips, ready to continue and eat his fill of today's "buffet."

But just then, a crisp mechanical voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

[Ding! Detected that the host has officially stepped into the Primordial World and is facing a Calamity.]

[Newbie Protection Period has ended, Newbie Gift Pack is being distributed...]

[Newbie Gift Pack: Primordial World Safety Protection Plan!]

Lin Shen was stunned.

Newbie Gift Pack?

There was such a thing?

So the System had been silently protecting him all along.

He was just wondering what this "Primordial World Safety Protection Plan" was.

The next second, he felt his body turn into a bottomless black hole!
