Endless cheers.

Unparalleled delicacies, as long as one is willing to eat, their appetite will always be satisfied.

Ah, is this the paradise that the hellish demon gods told me about?

Taotie was about to be moved to tears.

Before, when happily eating hotpot with the hellish demon gods, they told Taotie that there was a place called paradise, where everyone wanted to go, where there was an endless supply of milk, and the rivers flowed with honey.

Most importantly—

There were countless roasted bird wings.

Some even had twelve wings that could be roasted and eaten.

When saying these words, the demon god whose true form was an ox even shed tears. He spoke very sincerely, even willing to point out the path to paradise for Taotie. Taotie was very grateful, and then carved out its kidneys.

"Okay, three hundred and sixty-fourth round! Bring the next dish up faster, faster!"

"The greatest ritual is about to be completed!"

As Taotie swallowed the roasted chicken wings, the people surrounding him became even more excited. Their expressions were agitated, and an abnormal fanaticism appeared on their faces. Strange patterns appeared on the ground around Taotie, emitting strange energy fluctuations.

Clearly, this was itself a part of a strange sacrificial ritual.

Taotie shouted, "Bring up the next round of dishes, quickly!"

Soon, a large portion of food that looked and smelled delicious was placed in front of him. He had never seen such delicious food. For a moment, his appetite was greatly aroused. He opened his mouth and swallowed the entire portion in one gulp. Then, Taotie's expression froze.

The expression on his face was as if he had been punched hard in the stomach.

How could it be possible... how could it be possible...

To make a dish even more unpalatable than charcoal?

Who?!

Taotie stiffly raised his head.

He saw a familiar face, with a warm and heartwarming smile, white hair falling down, softly saying, "Is it delicious? If it's delicious, eat more..." Taotie's eyes widened. That lingering shadow followed closely, leading to a bodily instinct.

Ugh...

Taotie's stomach churned.

Wei Yuan, without changing his expression, directly poured the remaining dishes into his mouth.

Then, he used magic to directly lock Taotie's mouth.

Taotie's forehead twitched.

He actually swallowed these things.

Even Wei Yuan was amazed. This was something that even Yu wouldn't eat. In Yu's black history list of dishes, its position was second only to Charcoal-grilled Bifang bird.

This guy... perhaps he could become good friends with Yu.

If anyone was willing to eat the food made by Yu, then no matter who it was, Yu would befriend them.

"Do you know why I'm here?"

Wei Yuan asked.

"I know..."

Taotie immediately cowered, "I'm sorry, I was too arrogant."

"I was too caught up in eating and forgot to contact the human world."

"Don't blame me, the food started it..."

Taotie's mouth twitched, mumbling indistinctly. At this moment, Wei Yuan suddenly noticed a slight difference. The Qi dynamic changed and flowed, and the bricks under the entire street emitted a black and red Qi. The clouds in the sky rolled down in layers.

Wei Yuan raised his eyes.

He saw the clouds in the sky suddenly pressing down, and a huge, ridiculously large moon appeared.

Taotie had finally completed this so-called ritual of regional god.

"Ah, ahahahaha, the Venerable God has descended!"

"Great God, you are the greatest King of Gluttony, representing the ultimate desire, the ultimate power..."

The people around who participated in the ritual all knelt on the ground, cheering loudly in a strange prayer song. With the song, the street seemed to turn into a sacrificial ground. Red chains appeared, directly binding the contestants in this so-called gluttony competition, including the chef Wei Yuan who had stepped onto this place.

"These are the chains of body and mind."

"Only those who sincerely wish to become followers of the Gluttony God can open them."

"Give up, outsider!"

Along with a faintly insane laughter, the moon in the sky turned black. Then a huge, ferocious god like a sea beast slowly fell, with hideous tentacles, twisted fleshy whiskers, and barbed whip-like tentacles spreading across the entire sky, emitting a power that interfered with the souls of living beings, twisted their perceptions, and drove them mad.

An unseeable, twisted ferocity.

As if even space was being polluted by it, Wei Yuan sensed—

This was the power of Gui Xu.

One of the Four Fiends, the one that Hundun had joined. After being provoked by Kai Ming, he imprisoned the Heavenly Maiden.

Representing the concept of chaos and madness.

Seeing the appearance of the god they had believed in for over a thousand years, the believers here became even more fanatical, constantly chanting the name of the sacred. Just as that god, exuding powerful pressure, slowly descended, making the sky turbid and dark, and filling the air with stagnation,

Taotie, as a sacrifice, suddenly uprooted a willow tree.

He jumped directly into the air.

No, you plan to…

Wei Yuan stiffly raised his head, his pupils contracting. He saw Taotie take a deep breath, and then, with a gulp, directly turned his mouth into one that could swallow a small mountain. Then, in an instant, he swallowed that twisted, tentacled, and mentally interfering fiend god.

The clouds that had just been like the end of the world were directly washed clean in one breath.

The sky returned to clarity.

The fanatical atmosphere just now instantly solidified, turning into a deathly silence. The expressions on the faces of the fanatical believers were as if they had pressed the pause button. The smiles had not yet left, but had already turned into the most direct blankness and daze.

Clap.

Taotie landed on the ground and burped: "Full..."

"You are really too kind."

He held the wrinkled, wooden-like high priest's hands, with sincere gratitude on his face, and shook his hands heavily: "Really, giving me food is already very appreciated. Since I'm here, you even brought such good takeaway. Although the taste is a bit stinky, it's actually okay after eating that dish just now."

"I..."

In the sound of cracking, Wei Yuan broke free from the scarlet chains and reached out to press Taotie's shoulder.

"Hmm?"

Taotie subconsciously turned his head.

Wei Yuan took a breath, stepped forward, and slammed his right fist with full force into Taotie's stomach. The enormous, pure physical power erupted, causing Taotie's abdomen to cave in and his back to arch. A viscous airwave exploded, as if directly penetrating Taotie's body, stirring up a storm, and directly piercing through the clouds in the sky.

Taotie's eyes widened, and he rolled his eyes directly.

"Don't eat everything, spit it out for me!"

"That thing isn't clean. You dare to eat things from Gui Xu?"

"Quick, spit it out."

"Wah, vom..."

…………………………

Under the bombardment of the fist inherited from Buzhou Mountain, Taotie vomited for the second time in shame.

When the fiend god was spat out, it directly shrank in size. Wei Yuan turned his hand and swept his fingers across, directly smashing all the so-called venue on this entire street. Then, he carried Taotie and the fiend god directly to a hidden place, and arranged an array to conceal the energy.

Then, he threw the trembling fiend god who had not yet recognized the situation on the ground.

"From Gui Xu?"

"Mm... mmm."

The fiend god subconsciously nodded, looking around.

Shudi, Hudi, a white-haired man, and Taotie lying on the ground, retching.

He finally decided to nod honestly.

"Are the small worlds on Gui Xu's side so evil? I thought it was a force at least on par with Da Huang and Kunlun..." Wei Yuan looked at Shu Hu next to him, meaning, such evil things, didn't the indifferent Heavenly Emperor of Da Huang join forces with the stubbornly stubborn Lu Wu to destroy this place?

Shu Hu shook his head and murmured, "That's not right, Gui Xu only acts in secret."

"Overall, it's at most neutral, not to the point of doing such a thing..."

"What evil sacrifice?! We in Gui Xu don't do this..."

The fiend god stretched out a tentacle to protest.

Wei Yuan pointed to the sacrificial altar over there and the Taotie being comforted by the demon beast: "Weren't you planning to select the person with the largest food intake and then eat him?" The fiend beast originally wanted to be furious, but after looking at the row of fierce people surrounding it, it had to protest: "No!"

"I'm just selecting."

"Besides, why would I eat someone who just ate so much stuff?!"

He retorted: "If you want to eat something, can't you just eat delicious food?"

"Why eat what others have eaten?!"

"Besides, it was clearly that guy over there who ate me, okay?!"

He was furious.

Wei Yuan and Shu Hu over there exchanged a glance, discovering some abnormality, and the corners of their mouths twitched. "Then what is this ritual of yours..." The fiend god exhaled a breath, his expression solemn, "This involves the secrets of my Gui Xu, I can't possibly..."

Clap.

Wei Yuan snapped his fingers: "Taotie, time for dinner."

"Hmm?! Where is it..."

Taotie, who was retching, got up and wiped the corners of his mouth.

The fiend god's expression froze, and he subconsciously said, "I can't possibly not tell you..."

"This, this is actually a selection."

"Selection?"

"Yes, selection..."

The tied-up fiend god's voice trembled:

"...It's a task issued to me by the Gui Xu Venerable One, to select talented guys in the small world and take them away."

Shudi wondered: "Being able to eat is a talent?"

The fiend god said: "In the path of martial arts, being able to eat is a talent."

The expressions of the two emperors Shu Hu slowly sank, losing their original ease and joking. Wei Yuan paused slightly and said, "Is there a problem?"

Shudi nodded and said, "There is a problem... and a big problem..."

He asked Wei Yuan to step aside and said, "Kid, do you remember what I said before?"

"In different worlds, because of the different gravity, melting points, explosion temperatures, and even those so-called formulas, mechanical creations will have errors, but the strength of the body will not weaken just because you change the world, right?"

Shudi said slowly, "And the same is true for the talent for cultivation and combat."

"A cultivator who can achieve the unity of man and sword in a small world will be the same when he goes to your human world, and even when he enters Da Huang, he may be able to kill people thousands of miles away with his sword. There are people whose own limits are delayed by the limits of the world."

"For example, in your human world, in the era when mystery is gradually disappearing."

"Zhang Sanfeng and Wang Chongyang."

"If their talent were in the age of the gods, their strength would definitely reach a higher level, but they had to die."

"And that Xuan Zang."

Wei Yuan was silent for a moment, then realized: "You mean... Gui Xu is selecting geniuses from countless small worlds in this outer sea of the age of gods and taking them to Da Huang?! This is..."

"Accumulating strength, or as you people in the human world say."

Hudi said: "In the era when Da Huang and Kunlun are competing, Gui Xu is silently building up its forces."

"And this means that Gui Xu is ready to launch another war of the three realms."

"Let's go, ask again."

Shu Hu walked over and pulled the fiend god over, "After selecting talents? Put them in one place for training? Or send them to a spiritual land for cultivation?" The fiend god still didn't want to say, but glanced at Taotie over there.

'Master, are you still not full?' the demon beast asked.

"No, I was quite full at the time."

Taotie rubbed his stomach: "I'm just hungry again."

He turned his head, and a pair of black eyes stared at the fiend beast gloomily.

His tongue licked his lips.

What can't be eaten?

Besides the human race, he wanted to roast and eat the Golden Crow.

The fiend god's goosebumps rose, and he turned his head stiffly, suddenly becoming docile.

"They won't directly give them resources, because there have been situations before where they gave resources and found that the subordinates they raised were useless." The fiend god honestly said, "So they will use a merit system. In the three realms and eight wastelands, in countless worlds, there are battles happening all the time, there will be opportunities."

"Let these geniuses from the small worlds go to Da Huang to gather intelligence for Gui Xu, complete some simple tasks, and collect resources, and then use the merits they have made to exchange for different treasures, such as cultivation methods, such as secret realms. Through this kind of training, on the one hand, we in Gui Xu will not eat empty salaries and can make a little profit."

"Earn a little."

"On the one hand, it can also train them."

The fiend god complained:

"If we in Gui Xu don't rely on the small worlds, then we just have a big ditch. What's the use of a ditch? It doesn't grow anything, so we can only rely on this to earn a little. Otherwise, when our Gui Xu Venerable One and the Heavenly Emperor Queen Mother sit there, we all feel that the boss's head is emitting poor light."

Hmm... it feels a bit miserable.

Miserable my ass!

This guy is clearly a transcendent mercenary group spanning countless worlds.

Collecting geniuses from various small worlds, and then putting them into battle in different small worlds, plundering natural treasures, and collecting intelligence.

The more it rolls, the bigger it gets. Is this a pyramid scheme?

The difference is probably that it can really grant transcendent qualifications.

Wei Yuan pondered for a moment and said:

"Have you been to the human world? I mean, do you have people from the human world among your subordinates?"

"Yes!"

The fiend god answered without suspicion:

"The human world is a place separated by King Yu. Theoretically, the creatures of Shenzhou are more adaptable to the power of Da Huang and Kunlun than the creatures of small worlds, so we will select some people with special qualifications, extract their souls, and put them into small worlds for the so-called reincarnation ritual, for my use."

"After all, intelligence from the human world is also very important..."

"Of course, these people are needed."

"As long as we give them tasks, they can better complete the purpose."

The two emperors Shu Hu gasped and looked at the chattering fiend god.

They all took a step back.

……………………

Da Huang – A merchant caravan.

Recently, Da Huang has been plagued by chaos, and the caravan has also hired some guards with combat power.

A young man with short black hair, carrying a sword, looked at the people in front of him and lowered his head.

He fell into deep thought.

My name is Dai Xiu Neng, from a small world called Li.

Actually, I am a transmigrator.

From a non-transcendent world called Shenzhou.

I am now completing the highest-level mission of Gui Xu.

Originally, there was no problem.

But in the team I joined.

There is a young man named Ying Zheng.

Holding a sword called Tai'a in his hand.

I don't know why.

I'm a little panicked...
