Void City?

Lord Dog’s words startled Bu Fang slightly, and he frowned. He knew the name. It was the city where the noble lady who took Nethery away came from.
He never thought he would hear it from Lord Dog.
How much do you know about this city, Lord Dog?
he asked, taking a deep breath.

You mean Void City?
Lord Dog paused. He was surprised that Bu Fang would be interested in this place.
I don’t know much about it. It is a forbidden and powerful place. Since ancient times, many ancient Heavengods and even modern-day Gods were banished to this city, and they remain there to these days,
he said.

There should be records about Void City in the Temple of Heavengod Space. Find the temple, and you will learn more about it. Besides, if you want to go to that city, you need the temple’s help.

The Temple of Heavengod Space has the most complete and detailed map of the universes.

Bu Fang fell silent.
Er Ha leaned over and said,
Bu Fang young man, why do you want to go there? That is not a fun place.


Nethery is taken away, and the lady said she’s from Void City,
Bu Fang said, his face expressionless. He had not told Lord Dog and Er Ha about this, and their pupils constricted as soon as they heard that.

The Cursed Goddess… Void City… Is Nethery chosen by the Queen of Curses?
Lord Dog sighed. If that was the case, things would be tricky to handle. The relationship between Void City and the Chaotic Universe was not good.
However, they did not think too much. They descended and landed on the ground.
The surroundings had turned into ruins. The Temple of Heavengod Life, however, had fully restored, thanks to Lord Dog’s Law of Time.
Lord Dog’s gaze swept around. All the ancient Heavengods, God Kings, and God Emperors lowered their heads guiltily as his eyes met theirs.
Heavengod Transmigration had abandoned them and even destroyed their admiration for him. Now, these Heavengods chose to unreservedly submit to Heavengod Time.
What came next was simple. Under the pressure of Lord Dog’s aura, all ancient clans bowed their heads. If truth be told, they were overjoyed to submit to Heavengod Time.
This was not the end, of course. These experts of the ancient clans needed to atone for the sins they had committed in the past.
Lord Dog, as Heavengod Time, could easily see every major event of the Chaos Space in history by looking into the river of time. The experts of the ancient clans shivered, for they knew that their sins would soon be discovered by Heavengod Time.
Lord Dog cast his gaze into the river of time. The more he looked, the more his face grew uglier!
You bastards!
He snorted coldly, and a terrible aura spread from him.
The group of God Kings and God Emperors shuddered. A fuming Heavengod was a dreadful being, and what he would do to them was even more terrifying.
As for how Lord Dog would punish them, Bu Fang did not know. It had nothing to do with him. In any case, he could clearly feel Lord Dog’s anger.
Many experts of the ancient clans who had committed the most heinous crimes were sent into the jails in the Chaos Space by Lord Dog. Once Heavengod Space returned, they would be banished to Void City.
Some experts who had committed monstrous crimes were instantly wiped out by Lord Dog. The Law of Time fell over them. Tortured by the endless time, these experts decayed and rotted away.
…
With the recovery of Lord Dog’s cultivation base, the Temple of Heavengod Time gradually restored to its original appearance. It was not as magnificent as the Temple of Heavengod Transmigration, but it was still a grand building.
As the number one spokesperson for Lord Dog, Yun Tianyi’s status had soared to a great height in the Chaos Space. The mighty experts of many ancient clans did not dare to offend her.
The punishment of Heavengod Time had completely purged the sins in the Chaos Space, and the foul atmosphere that pervaded the air seemed to clear away. The Gods who lived here cheered for the changes.
Now that order was restored, Lord Dog and the others had more important matters to solve.
In the depths of the Temple of Heavengod Time, a round stone table was placed. It was surrounded by figures now. The table was huge, and the figures that surrounded it were all the top experts in the Chaos Space, including Lord Dog, Yun Tianyi, Er Ha, Bu Fang, and several ancient Heavengods of some powerful ancient clans.
They sat around the table with serious faces, discussing matters including the recovery of the other Heavengods.

Heavengod Transmigration had betrayed us and fled. He had given up the Transmigration, so we now have one extra Causality Throne. Since there is no new Heavengod who can inherit it… Bu Fang will temporarily hold it,
Lord Dog said, gazing at everyone.
As Heavengod Time, his aura was mighty, and it spread across the whole place.
No one dared to say anything. Bu Fang was a Heavengod who had comprehended the five supreme Laws, which included the Law of Transmigration. Therefore, nobody objected to that.
Bu Fang had wanted to refuse it. He just wanted to cook and not become Heavengod Transmigration. This was not his cup of tea. However, Lord Dog told him in a serious manner that the Transmigration was crucial to the Chaos Space.
Heavengod Transmigration managed the cycle of life and death of the entire Chaotic Universe. It would be fine if the Causality Throne was left empty for a short time, for the Transmigration could adjust itself. But once it was vacant for too long, the Transmigration would collapse.
Once that happened, countless souls would wander the universe and turn into cosmic energy. This would lead to the constant reduction of lives in the universe. Therefore, the Causality Throne of Transmigration could not be left vacant.
Bu Fang reluctantly accepted it. But he told them that once they found a suitable candidate, he would immediately give up the throne.
Lord Dog nodded and agreed to that. Then came the time to vote. Unsurprisingly, everyone voted for Bu Fang. Just like that, he became the supreme… Heavengod Transmigration.
Apart from this topic, they also discussed the recovery of Heavengod Space and Heavengod Destruction.
No one knew where they were. When they were sent into the Transmigration, Heavengod Transmigration had sealed their memory. Their strength was weaker than that of Heavengod Time, and their life force was not as insane as that of Heavengod Life. Therefore, no one had any clues to their whereabouts.
Lord Dog had returned, and he wanted the Chaos Space to return to its former glory. So, he had to find the other two Heavengods. But it was no easy task to find them. After they were reincarnated, they might be a blade of grass or a rock.
Even if they were reincarnated as humans, to find them among the countless people in millions of small worlds across the Chaotic Universe was no different than finding a needle in a great ocean.

I think they might be just around us…
Er Ha said with a spicy strip dangling from his lips.
Think about this. Even reincarnated, Heavengods should still attract each other. Just look at Lord Dog and me… We are so deeply attached to each other.

Lord Dog rolled his eyes.
Who said we are deeply attached to each other?
Regardless, what Er Ha said got him to think. Then, he narrowed his eyes, which seemed to flash as he glanced at the snoozing Bu Fang, as well as Foxy and Shrimpy who sat on his shoulders.
If the two Heavengods had reincarnated into someone they knew, would they be related to Bu Fang? Whether it was Lord Dog or Er Ha, they both had an inseparable bond with him.
They could make Bu Fang the starting point to tackle the matter. The two Heavengods were lost in thoughts. Yun Tianyi and the experts of the ancient clans all nodded in agreement, their hands touching their chins. Their intuition told them that the two Heavengods were right.
Bu Fang woke up with a start and felt a chill run down his back.
Why are you all looking at me like that?
He glanced at everyone with an expressionless face.

Hehehe…
Er Ha grinned, rubbing his hands.
Bu Fang narrowed his eyes.
I don’t like that obscene smile. Don’t ask me for spicy strips for one year.

Er Ha was dumbstruck.
Lord Dog told him about their analysis. Bu Fang was doubtful. Could that be real? He only had Foxy, Shrimpy, and Whitey with him now. Whitey was a product of the System, so it could not be a Heavengod. That left them with Foxy and Shrimpy. Could these two little ones be… Heavengods?
The meeting was soon over—many things in the Chaos Space needed to be fixed. Foxy and Shrimpy were made to stay by Lord Dog. He wanted to study if these two little ones were the reincarnations of the Heavengods. As for Bu Fang, he went to the Temple of Heavengod Transmigration, led by Yun Tianyi.
Bu Fang had the Law of Transmigration, so he quickly took control of the temple. As he walked inside, he could not help but sigh with emotion. Heavengod Transmigration had lived a good life for countless years.
Yun Tianyi introduced every part of the temple to him. When he opened the treasure pavilion, he saw mountains of shining treasures, all of which were rare and precious. Inside the divine herbs pavilion, a myriad of sentient divine herbs was flying back and forth. The pills pavilion, the library, and all the precious treasures of Heavengod Transmigration were now his.

Why is there no food ingredients pavilion?
Bu Fang twitched his lips.
Yun Tianyi did not know how to answer. Heavengod Transmigration was not a chef, so why would he need a food ingredients pavilion?
They opened up the underground palace. The tapping sound Yun Tianyi’s heels made as they contacted the ground echoed in the empty air. A strong smell of blood greeted them, and they both frowned at the same time.
Bu Fang snapped his fingers. A divine flame emerged, illuminating the whole underground palace and revealing everything. They paused.
In front of them was a huge pool of blood. Broken chains, souls, and bones of Heavengods and Gods floated inside. It was like a jail that trapped all the souls. Countless souls knelt along the edge of the pool, crying soundlessly at Bu Fang and Yun Tianyi.

How could he do this…
Yun Tianyi’s eyes were red. She sensed many bones and blood of Heavengods from the Yun Clan. Back then, the Yun Clan was captured by Heavengod Transmigration, and many of her people were slaughtered.
Bu Fang sighed. The Law of Transmigration swept out and sent all those souls into the Transmigration. When they drifted into the Transmigration, these souls wept tears of joy. For a moment, the sound of weeping filled the underground palace.
Bu Fang was silent as he watched. Suddenly, the God of Cooking Sets emerged. Glass-like grains of rice fell over him, while different ingredients floated around him.
Inside the underground palace and facing the eerie pool of blood, Bu Fang began to cook. It was a heavy dish. At least, Bu Fang cooked it with a heavy heart.
The ingredients flew, and smoke and fire filled the air. Soon, porcelain bowls filled with rice glowing like crystals were pushed out, drifting across the void. The aroma pervaded the palace and seemed to turn into a peaceful tune. It was as if a supreme being was chanting sutras to clean the hatred in these souls.

What is this…
Yun Tianyi pressed her lips together and asked Bu Fang with a heavy heart.

This is the rice of redemption…
Bu Fang said as he gave each of the souls a bowl of rice that could clean the hatred in them before sending them into the Transmigration.
The drifting souls were surrounded by the aroma. They squatted before the bowls and ate with relish, their faces filled with intoxication.
The divine energy of these souls had been extracted by Heavengod Transmigration, and they were now shapeless souls. They no longer had the ability to affect reality, so they could only eat the essence of the rice of redemption but not the actual rice itself.
When they had eaten to their fill, Bu Fang unleashed the Law of Transmigration and opened up the Transmigration. One contented soul after another flew into the gray vortex.
Suddenly, Yun Tianyi’s eyes turned red. She lifted her hands and tried to touch the souls in front of her. The pair of souls, a man and a woman, seemed to smile at her.
Their hatred had been cleaned after eating the rice of redemption, and they would be reincarnated several years later after flying into the Transmigration.

Thank you…
Yun Tianyi said to Bu Fang, wiping tears from the corners of her eyes. The pair of souls was her parents. They were deluded by hatred, but the rice had restored their sanity. They could now fly into the Transmigration with peace and would not be turned into ashes.
Bu Fang nodded in silence. Sometimes, he was amazed by the magical effect of delicious food. The rice of redemption he cooked with an impulse filled him with emotions.
After witnessing this scene, Bu Fang finally understood how miserable life was under the rule of Heavengod Transmigration.
That Heavengod Transmigration deserved a thousand deaths. Even though he had fled to Void City, Bu Fang would not spare him. He would avenge these poor souls.
They left the underground palace. Bu Fang stood at the center of the temple, and for the first time, he saw the Transmigration that belonged to Heavengod Transmigration.
The gray vortex that he saw once slowly unfolded in front of him like a beautiful painting, spinning in midair. A stream of mental force flowed out of his spirit sea and merged with it.
Suddenly, Bu Fang’s pupils constricted. He saw a lot of things in just a flash…
