The Legacy of the Great Foodie Empire (Part One) / Making the Neighboring Herrscher Drool (Part Two)

But for some reason, his searching gaze was pure and unwavering, showing no fear of [the Honkai].

This obsessive obsession made the Final Herrscher recall the eight strongest Fusion Warrior from the previous generation who gathered on the moon to fight against her.

Humans are so interesting...

[God] smiled slightly, raised his hand and touched the man's brow. Under the infusion of golden power, the chaos in Otto's mind exploded.

As the mist rose, the figure he had longed for stood in the courtyard of a castle blending Chinese and Western styles, smiling through tears, reaching out to him...

When the revelation from [God] abruptly ended, Otto, whose consciousness had been restored, was shocked to find that his consciousness had returned to his body.

The bishop paused for a moment, feeling the oppressive aura around him disappear. He placed his right hand on his chest, touching the beating heart inside the cavity, and nodded to the unseen deity.

Kallen... is this our future?

Otto slumped onto the sofa, muttering to himself as he casually tapped on the virtual keyboard, conveying the next steps of the plan to the Helios.

Don't worry, I definitely won't make a mistake this time, and I'll leave you with the most beautiful world...

The blond man smiled faintly, casually toying with the queen chess piece, his expression meaningful.

He needed to talk to God and give up his pride; he needed God's help.

But the world Kallen envisions doesn't require the existence of Honkai...

[The God-Slaying Spear]... He prepared two...

P. S.: By the way, among Beibei Dragon, Ice Pig, Giant Elephant, Twin Gods, and Chi You, which high-level Honkai Beast suffered the most?

If it were a contest of who suffered the most, I'd go with Chi You. He seems to be the strongest Honkai Beast right now. Even the Judgment-class Bebe Dragon got crushed by Welt, which is a bit weak. Chi You, on the other hand, seems to have high HP and defense.

Also, although I'm still a bit far from my target, I should still push myself. From daytime to late at night on April 3rd.

Chapter 648 The Legacy of the Great Foodie Empire (First Update)

In the South China Sea, Nine Netherworld, violent tremors emanated from the depths. A mournful cry, like that of a dying lion or tiger in a desperate counterattack, became the final echo of the last "little biscuit."

Kevin stood atop the Honkai Beast Chi You, drew his sword, closed his eyes, and stretched his limbs. The six crystal cores within his body responded to the reversed absorption, and every cell in his body frantically devoured the scattered Honkai energy around him.

A strange feeling of fullness, like eating, gradually filled the emptiness in his body. A visible vortex of air gradually formed around the man, and purplish-red light spots gradually surged towards this place from the stone walls, rocks, and seawater.

The most significant "nourishment" was undoubtedly the towering corpse of the Judgment-class Honkai Beast beneath Kevin's feet.

As the suction force increased exponentially, the area where Kevin was located exhibited a bizarre spatial distortion, as if he were being enveloped by a black hole.

The light spots that were forcibly plundered here gathered more and more, converging into purplish-red bands of light in all directions, while the surrounding Honkai energy particles became so viscous that they resembled flowing water.

As the python's swallowing power swept across the surroundings, the scene that seemed like a divine miracle vanished completely.

Only the gradually crumbling corpse of Chi You beneath Kevin's feet, eventually turning into dust and scattering, silently testifies to the horror of this pervert.

Hmm, I'm about a third back in form, not bad. Finality, I'll have a fighting chance...

Kevin clenched his fist slightly, let out a soft sigh, put the Skyfire Greatsword back into the Spatial Rift, looked down at the scattered points of light around him, and couldn't help but feel a little wistful.

Actually, he didn't want to take action against Chi You so soon, for two reasons.

First, it affects concealment.

Most of the Nine Netherworld were inside Chi You's belly, and the energy fluctuations of this Judgment-class Honkai Beast easily concealed the Herrscher auras that the three of them had concealed.

In addition, with all sorts of Honkai creatures nearby and layers of nested magic arrays, even if the Final Herrscher wanted to investigate, it would probably be impossible to pinpoint their location for a while. This is practically a safe house sent from heaven.

It's incredibly difficult to even spot gold on the beach, let alone the energy fluctuations of the three Herrscherization beings, which are remarkably similar to those of Honkai creatures.

This is the essence of the saying "hiding trees in the forest and water in the sea."

Having occupied the Nine Netherworlds and gained the Void Authority, Kevin's situation could be reversed, giving him more room to maneuver and teleport.

Moreover, according to the account of Lian Shan, the "chief engineer" of the Nine Netherworlds, on the nearby stone tablet, although the layout of the buildings here was mainly to trap Chi You, the operation of the magic array within it cleverly employed the strategy of using one's own weapon against him.

Simply put, most of the magic arrays actually operate through the dissipated Honkai energy of Chi You himself.

Once Chi You dies, the secrecy and security of the Nine Netherworld will be greatly reduced, especially since the three of them had previously pulled out the Xuanyuan Sword, a pillar of support.

Kevin wasn't sure how long the Nine Netherworld could last after all this, and the hasty actions might affect his next plan.

Secondly, while taking supplements too early may help restore combat power, it also increases the risk of exposure and attracts the attention of the Final Herrscher.

The Nine Netherworld has accumulated five thousand years of Honkai energy, so concentrated that high-purity Honkai energy crystals grow in the mountain caves, making it a five-star health resort.

This place not only contains delicious cookies like Judgment-class Honkai Beast, but also countless Honkai Beasts and Honkai zombie.

Sirin was a pioneer in the specialized technique of devouring her own kind to power herself.

Therefore, they have no worries about food or clothing, and there is no need to rush. With just a little effort, they can basically return to their peak condition.

Now that a large chunk of grass has been gnawed away from the rabbit's burrow, the next steps must be taken with even greater care.

However, drawing the Xuanyuan Sword and purifying Ji Lin caused Chi You to awaken prematurely. To avoid this little cookie causing even greater trouble, I had no choice but to act decisively.

Kevin's thoughts drifted back as he casually glanced around. His sensitivity to space made him notice something jarring about the stone wall behind Chi You's remains.

After he used the hilt of his sword to pry open the withered vines, he discovered a hidden door hidden beneath. What might be left inside, concealed by the Honkai Beast Lian Shan?

A moment later, the three people and one soul gathered here. Ji Lin inserted the Xuanyuan Sword into the groove and opened it. The breeze stirred up by the pressure difference between the inside and outside rushed towards them, and what entered their nostrils was a rich and mellow fragrance.

As the group stepped inside, they discovered that this natural stone cave was ingeniously designed.

Due to the operation of the formation, the airflow is normal, and a freshwater stream, formed by the purification of water drawn from the deep sea, meanders and loops, dividing the open space into several nurseries.

The plants cultivated inside are incredibly diverse, with all sorts of shapes and sizes, many of which are now extinct.

"What's this?"

Following the alluring fragrance, Murata Himeko curiously pointed to a plant in the nursery with blue flowers and leaves resembling chives, and asked Ji Lin about it.

"In the southern Que Mountain, there grows a herb that resembles chives but has green flowers. Eating it prevents hunger and is called Zhu Yu. It tastes quite good..."

What about this one?

"Jia Guo, it's sweet and sour..."

Sirin's curiosity was also piqued, and she asked the teachers around her for advice. Before long, she learned about novel plants such as Di Xiu and Kang Mu.

All of them were plants recorded in the Classic of Classic of Mountains and Seas. It seems that the Honkai itself is indeed a good medicine to promote the evolution of species. Kevin looked at the bamboo slips and silk books that had rotted into dust on the shelf and felt very sorry.

Fortunately, some of the Jade Token and oracle bone dictionaries were easy to preserve, which was some consolation.

The man then stored these precious artifacts in the Spatial Rift, intending to decipher them before returning them to the Shenzhou government, as a way of contributing to the verification of the history and culture of this land.

China's civilization has a history of at least five thousand years, which is an undeniable fact and cannot be refuted, slandered, or have fallacies spread by certain "professors" in the Western historical community.

At this point, as the two curious children pressed her for answers, Ji Lin gradually revealed her true abilities. Although she knew some plants like the back of her hand and provided detailed and realistic descriptions, there were also many things she didn't know.

This left Sirin and Himeko, who held a slight reverence for the mythical figure before them, utterly bewildered.

Kevin recalled his memories of being in another world, and combined this with the plants and their characteristics that Ji Lin had just become familiar with, and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

All the animals that Ji Lin could name had one thing in common—they were all big eaters...

So, it turns out that the great foodie gene of the Chinese Empire has been passed down from ancient times by your ancestors?

Kevin's gaze was strange, but in the end he didn't act rashly and reveal Ji Lin's dirty secrets to Himeko and Sirin in front of him.

The three walked and stopped intermittently, and while suppressing their auras to briefly evade the Final Herrscher, they witnessed Lian Shan's skillful hands.

The nurseries, stone chambers, pavilions, and sculptures along the way all possess a rustic charm that draws inspiration from nature and is naturally formed.

Unfortunately, with the passage of time, most of the buildings and collections have become dust of history.

"Brother, look!"

Suddenly, Sirin pulled Kevin's right hand and excitedly pointed ahead. The people who were searching couldn't help but focus their attention in this direction, and were simultaneously stunned.

Chapter 649 (Section 679) - The Neighboring Herrscher is So Greedy He'll Make Him Cry (Two Updates)

In the center of the asymmetrically arranged flowerbeds and nurseries, surrounded by a stream, stands a statue carved entirely from pure white jade, holding the Xuanyuan Sword, gazing ahead with an air of heroic spirit.

The three exchanged furtive glances, their gossipy nature igniting slightly, and they couldn't help but follow Ji Lin's footsteps, moving closer to the jade statue to examine it more closely.

After circling halfway around with complicated thoughts, Ji Lin's gaze was drawn to the stone tablet directly in front of him, where ancient characters resembling tadpoles came into view.

"I waited ten years in vain, but my beloved is gone forever. Now I hear of rampant Honkai and chaos Shenzhou..."

"Therefore, this monument is erected as proof that Lian Shan's departure will, for the sake of his clan and people, avert the collapse of the dynasty and ensure the eternal stability of China!"

This deeply embedded message carried an indescribable sense of resolve and ruthlessness. Ji Lin lowered his head and looked at the plate of "jade cake" that had shrunk into a ball in front of the stone tablet, his expression somewhat dazed.

She remembered that when she saved the boy who was gathering herbs in the mountains and being chased by Honkai Beast, he was just a healer in the Shennong tribe who was dedicated to helping people and curing diseases.

Furthermore, it was a plate of jade cakes picked from the cinnabar tree that won him her heart (proof of his foodie nature), thus solidifying the marriage alliance between the two tribes.

Unexpectedly, more than ten years later, even those who treat illnesses will have to pick up swords and fight for their lives.

Judging from the traces left by Jiuyou, this departure is a final farewell.

A deep sorrow filled Ji Lin's heart. He lightly touched the words with his fingertips, bent down, and wanted to lean closer to express his longing. Unexpectedly, his eyes met from behind, where he saw two strange grooves and a pattern-like line.

This is...

"... yin script!"

Amidst the confident reply, Ji Lin looked up in surprise and was astonished to find that Kevin had somehow moved to the back of the stone tablet and was carefully examining his discovery.

The term "intaglio" refers to the recessed characters or patterns engraved or cast on seals or other objects, which often subtly convey certain information.

Since ancient times, this kind of custom has been prevalent in China. Kevin has a good memory and can roughly recognize the oracle bone script he saw in the Nine Netherworld. Therefore, it can be basically determined that these are some scribbles, which are ancient characters carved in intaglio.

After quickly confirming the details, the man decisively cut his right index finger, smeared the blood onto the intaglio pattern, then tore off a piece of the lining from his white clothing, pasted it on, and made a rubbing.

"Translate, translate, what does it mean?"

Ji Lin took the piece of cloth and softly read out the contents of the two lines.

"Mount Buzhou... Pangu Tomb..."

"The pattern on this looks like a map, but it's not entirely..."

Wait a minute? The Pangu Tomb?! Lian Shan is actually connected to this thing!

Kevin looked surprised, but he noticed that Ji Lin also looked confused when he mentioned the words "Pangu Tomb," as if he didn't understand their meaning or location, and obviously wouldn't get any answers from him.

Could it be that Lian Shan has discovered the secret of the Pangu Tomb? And those who can summon Lian Shan, the patriarch of the Shennong, are probably few and far between.

If we use a process of elimination, Ji Lin and Fu Hua, who have no memory of this, are clearly not included. That leaves only the twin girls Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu...

Kevin smiled, his eyes narrowing. The humiliation of being cornered in a dark room by the Final Herrscher had slightly subsided, and he felt somewhat pleased.

"Look what I found!"

Just as Kevin and Ji Lin were examining the patterns on the cloth, Murata Himeko, who had been wandering around, smiled mysteriously and walked out of a stone chamber, carrying a clay pot in each hand.

Once everyone had gathered in front of the pavilion, Murata Himeko broke the seal on the earthenware jar, releasing a rich and mellow aroma. After only a few breaths, Sirin's face flushed and her eyes sparkled.

"I never expected to find wine in a place like this! And it's a top-quality wine that's been aged for a thousand years!"

"I knew it! There was a familiar smell in the air when we first entered. After searching all these stone chambers, we finally brought out this batch of good stuff. You're in for a treat!"

The red-haired female drunkard sniffed, couldn't help but rub her hands excitedly, took out a few ceramic bowls, washed them clean, and impatiently poured out a glass of Amber- aged wine, handing it to Kevin first.

"I'm saying, it's been five thousand years, is this still drinkable? Maybe we should just forget about it..."

Kevin, who wasn't particularly good at drinking, naturally frowned and politely declined.

"Don't worry, back in the Youxiong Clan, Lian Shan brewed this kind of wine for me. Not only are the ingredients rare, but it can also be preserved for a thousand years..."

Ji Lin licked her cherry lips, her nostalgia mixed with a hint of eagerness.

In ancient times, food was scarce, and wine was a rare treat. Even Ji Lin, as the Young Lord of the Youxiong Clan, could not satisfy his appetite for long.

Lian Shan, who was skilled at whetting people's appetites, once used various rare plants and fruits from the Classic of Classic of Mountains and Seas to improve Du Kang's recipe and brewed some fine wines specially for her. Even now, Ji Lin still finds it hard to forget.

Kevin glanced at the two people and the ghost staring at him expectantly, took the ceramic bowl, took a small sip, and helplessly rubbed his forehead and waved his hand.

"Forget it, since we're avoiding it anyway, let him drink if he wants, but don't let him get too drunk, lest he cause trouble..."

Thus, the three women, who all had a deep affection for wine, immediately agreed to bring out all the fine wines that Lian Shan had stored in the stone chamber.
