Chapter 477: Promoted to the Eighth Ring and Became the God of Cookery

Asgard, Valhalla.

The glittering golden palace stands on the vast plain. Its walls are lined with shiny spears and its roof is covered with golden shields. It is extremely magnificent.

Outside Valhalla, the shining Glashir tree cast mottled light and shadows. A young man in white lit a bonfire under the shade of the tree. A pot of thick soup was sizzling on the fire, and a rich milky aroma wafted in the air.

This was the ceremony for Ye Zhi to be promoted to the God of Food. The Black Knight, Brunhilde, and Kylya did not dare to disturb him and just watched silently.

The mythical beasts that already lived in Valhalla, out of curiosity, slowly gathered around Yeats.

"The last time someone cooked a feast in Valhalla was when Anderlimnir, the cook, was alive." The goat Hellend chewed the grass on the ground and said with some nostalgia, "The feast he cooked was not only loved by the heroes, but also by the gods... The god of abundance also said that as long as Ander is still in this world, no living creature in this world will suffer from hunger!"

Yeats stirred the spoon, allowing the divinity of the "Minerva's Fountain" and the "Helen's Milk" in the pot to fully blend, and said, "What do you mean?"

"The God of Food possesses a spell called [Feast of Heroes], which can conjure up a table of sumptuous dishes out of thin air. Unlike those human mages who use sleight of hand to deceive their stomachs, this table of dishes is created from nothing and truly exists."

Goat Hellend said slowly: "The taste of this table of dishes will become the most delicious existence in the memory of the eaters. If you don't eat it for a meal, you will be greedy..."

At this point, the goat Hellende's mouth was already dripping with saliva, and he sighed:

"It's a pity that the God of Food had bad luck and died during the Ragnarok. My old friends and I haven't had a taste of the [Feast of Heroes] for a long time!"

Yeats picked up the knife and cut the "Heart of Sahlimnir" on the chopping board into pieces, looking thoughtful.

I see, the God of Cookery added ice to the food!

The God of Cookery ritual is not complicated. It involves using several mythical ingredients from Valhalla and one mythical ingredient prepared by the trial-takers themselves to cook a feast.

As long as this banquet can be recognized by the [Law of Food] itself, it can draw out the original runes of this world from the World Tree and allow the trial-taker to be promoted to the position of God of Food.

Now, the most difficult part of collecting ingredients has ended. All you need to do is use your talent and concentrate on cooking! In the sky, a bright moonlight flickered like silk, leaving a silver-white light band. A snow-white winged tiger was walking on the moonlight. On the tiger's back, the goddess of hunting Artemis suddenly realized something and cast her eyes in the direction of Valhalla, with a flash of surprise in her eyes.

"Hmm? There's still a mortal breath!"

Artemis took off the hunting bow on her back, a glimmer of vigilance flashed in her eyes, and she drove her white tiger mount towards Valhalla.

Before she was halfway there, Artemis sensed three completely different auras of true gods: Brunhilde, the guardian of the North, the Black Knight, the god of strategy, and Skach, the queen of the night, all looking in the same direction, as if waiting for something.

Artemis and Skage serve the goddess of moonlight and the goddess of darkness respectively. The two have fought each other many times, but they always stopped at the right time. The intensity of the fight depends on the two main gods.

In addition, Asgard was not a suitable battlefield, so Artemis took the initiative to emerge from the clouds and greet the three true gods.

"My Lords, I am Artemis, the goddess of hunting and the forests. I have a question for you... What are you waiting for?"

Artemis has wheat-colored skin, wears hunting clothes, a quiver on her waist, and a short bow in her hand, full of wild vitality.

Seeing the God of Hunting appear halfway, the Black Knight and others exchanged glances and decided not to hide it.

After all, the news that Yeats came to Asgard was already known to all the gods. Moonlight and Dark Night did not care because he was chosen by them. Yeats' intentions would be known to the gods sooner or later, so it was better to tell the truth from the beginning.

The silver-haired Valkyrie had a stern face and a cold voice, and said indifferently: "There is a ceremony ahead, please turn back... You cannot pass through this place."

"Ritual?" The confusion in Artemis' eyes became more and more obvious, and there was a strong curiosity in her voice. "A mortal, holding a ritual in Asgard? What ritual? Tell me about it!"

The hunting goddess is lively and active by nature, like a wild leopard in the jungle, and her curiosity is as strong as that of a cat.

The Black Knight's voice was hoarse, like the clanging of swords and guns, and he said in a low voice:

"Yeats is performing a god-eating ritual."

Suddenly.

Artemis' eyes widened in surprise.

How could she not know Yeats's name? The reason why the Moonlight Goddess and the Dark Night Goddess had been fighting these days was Yeats!

Of course, these two goddesses have been fighting since they were born, and the reasons for each fight are different. Yeats is just an excuse for the time being.

But it was extraordinary for a mortal to be so remembered by the gods! Moreover, Artemis had personally met Ye Zhi, who had successfully hunted the epic beast [Hydra], which made Artemis quite satisfied. She had originally thought of continuing the cooperation and looking for him to hunt epic beasts again...

But when I turned around, I found that this mortal was about to achieve godhood and become equal to me?

"How did he know the details of the God-eating ritual?" Artemis turned into a curious baby. "You guys don't look weird at all, and you're willing to protect him?"

I don’t know what the relationship between Ye Zhi and these three true gods is... During his own promotion ceremony, he could call upon the three true gods to come and protect him!

Skach was not impressed by Artemis. Seeing that Yeats' promotion ceremony had reached a critical point, he immediately made a gesture to silence Artemis.

Artemis looked at Scach's cold eyes and knew that now was not a good time to ask questions.

Then, Artemis joined the Black Knight and others, looking up at Yeats under the shade of the tree.

However, a long table was set up, on which was placed cheese made from goat Herend's milk, shining with a golden glow; a whole golden egg was placed in the steel ring of the shell opener, and the egg custard inside was crystal clear like jade; pork chops and liver were roasted until crispy, garnished with spices, and exuded an incomparable meaty aroma...

Sniff... Artemis couldn't help but say, "What a nice smell!"

The goat Herend and the rooster Gullinkenbe nodded in approval.

"Wow... It's almost the same as the feast made by Ender himself!" said the rooster Gullinkenby in surprise.

Goat Helend closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "A familiar breath... I heard the vibration of the Law of Food!"

These two mythical beasts, as companions of the God of Food during his lifetime, are the ones who understand the laws of food best.

Even the two of them recognized Yeats. Artemis felt strange and stared at Yeats intently, secretly amazed.

Ye Zhi...you won't really become a god today, will you?

Then he will break the record for the shortest time from a mortal to a true god! "The first three dishes for the feast are ready." The Black Knight whispered, "Ye Zhi should only be missing the last dish."

With Ye Zhi's level of seven rings, it is indeed a bit tricky to cook with eight-ring ingredients. It is not easy to suppress the raging magic in the mythical ingredients.

If it were any other trial-taker, even with Arenil's blessing, the risk of failure would still be extremely high... If they were not careful, the fire would not be enough or the magic power would be lost, and they would not be able to cook the most perfect product, and thus lose the recognition of the Law of Food!

In fact, obtaining Arenil is a prerequisite for passing the God of Food ritual. In order to allow the younger generation to successfully obtain godhood, the God of Food specially opened a back door in the Arenil trial, allowing the younger generation to familiarize themselves with the three mythical ingredients in advance.

Because of his experience in the Trial of Arenil, Yeats was quite adept at handling the golden eggs of Glinkenby, the milk of the goat Hellend, and the meat of the divine pig, and he cooked out finished products of perfect quality without much effort.

When it came to the last part of the ceremony, cooking the mythical ingredients she had prepared, Ye Zhi knew that it was a critical moment. Facing the huge Demon Starfish on the chopping board, she took a deep breath.

"This starfish is..."

Artemis' eyes flashed with surprise, and said:

"The true form of the Lord of Plunder?"

The Black Knight nodded and said, "Ye Zhi cooperated with us to kill the Lord of Plunder... The Lord of Plunder's laws belong to me, and his divine body belongs to him."

Artemis turned her head in surprise and looked at the Black Knight, just enough to conceal her shaken expression.

So... the Black Knight's laws of war are already complete, and it is possible for him to reach the level of the Nine-Ring God of War?

She said that Yezhi cooperated with her... But how did Yezhi do it? Artemis was puzzled, so she had to suppress her confusion and continued to observe Yezhi's ritual process.

Compared with the first three ingredients, processing the Demon Starfish requires much more effort... Ye Zhi first removed the petrification on the starfish, and then used his divine power to forcibly erase the remaining divinity on the starfish. This step alone consumed a lot of Ye Zhi's energy.

A centipede is still alive even after death. The starfish with a hundred arms and legs is still struggling even though it is dead. The three holy swords in the mortal world cannot even cut off the arms and legs of the starfish with one stroke. Ye Zhi then takes out the Silver Oak Sword and uses it as a kitchen knife.

Silver Oak Sword: "..."

Thousands of years ago, he killed the God of Light who had the potential to become the God-King.

Thousands of years later... who would have thought that it would be used as a kitchen knife by humans?

Artemis was also speechless, wondering if Ye Zhi was wasting the artifact... Then she thought, wouldn't the God of Cookery use a kitchen knife? Ye Zhi activated the Flame of Judgment with his left hand, roasting Arenil and burning the cauldron until it was red. With his right hand, he threw the starfish's tentacles into the boiling spring water, his eyes fixed.

"Spirit of Food, no need to act, open it for me!"

With the blessing of talent, Ye Zhi's movements became even faster, and every process was extremely precise.

The aura of laws in the invisible realm spread out in ripples, as if new laws were responding to the call and taking shape.

Sensing something strange in the divine world, the goat Hellende's eyes flashed with shock, and he exclaimed: "His compatibility with the Law of Food... is even better than Ander's!"

The laws were born along with the runes at the beginning of creation, and do not belong only to the God of Food himself.

When Ye Zhi finished the last dish, a majestic divinity suddenly surged in the divine realm, and the surrounding planes of space were shaking.

Artemis was stunned and asked, "Is this... a success or a failure?"

Almost at the same time, two incarnations of divine consciousness descended from the two major divine realms of Asgard. One was silver-white and wrapped in a long white veil, and the other was made up of purple shadows and covered with a black cloak.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The two figures were unclear, and they both stared at Ye Zhi who was in the center of the ceremony, and sighed softly.

"Let's temporarily cease fire...what do you think?" said the Goddess of Darkness.

"Open the plane and let the branches of the world tree in... This is my divine choice after all." The Moonlight Goddess said calmly.

The goddess of darkness said nothing, but just waved her hand. Then a crack appeared in the sky, and a golden halo fell from it. A vibrant golden branch stretched out from the crack in the sky and landed in front of Ye Zhi.

The next moment, the moonlight and shadows disappeared, leaving only the cold words of the Goddess of Darkness.

"I want to reiterate again...you are the latecomer!"

Artemis looked up, feeling odd.

Well... these two sisters are going to fight again! Anyway, since the branches of the World Tree have descended here, doesn't that mean...

Artemis looked at Yeats, who seemed exhausted and had his eyes closed, and couldn't help holding her breath.

Ye Zhi's ritual was successful, and he really got the approval of the Law of Food? ! The rooster Glinkenbi flapped his wings and flew to the golden roof of Valhalla. He looked up at the branches of the world falling from the sky, dumbfounded: "Rune! Runes falling from the tree!"

"For nine days and nine nights, Odin hung upside down on the tree, and the laws and runes fell one after another."

The goat Hellend sighed long and respectfully:

"Yeats Bronte, you are such a mortal, you also make the runes shine because of you!"

Even though they were mentally prepared, when they saw the branch of the world tree descend and a golden rune emerge from the branch, the gods were still greatly shocked.

After a thousand years... finally a mortal has ascended to the realm of true god again! Ye Zhi was as tired as a cook who had prepared a big banquet. His throat was smoking and he had no appetite at all. He raised his eyes and saw a rune falling from the tree branch of the world, shrouded in golden light, flying towards him.

"The symbol of the law of food is actually..."

Yeats murmured, "Salt?"

A whole piece of golden salt, containing the breath of law, fell into Ye Zhi's palm.

Goat Helen looked at Yeats's palm, with a hint of envy in his tone, and said slowly: "Salt is one of the most precious things in nature. Many creatures rely on it to survive."

"The origin of this salt block can be traced back to the beginning of creation." Goat Hellend was like a wise man, with a deep gleam in his eyes.

"The first person born in this world was Ymir, the ancestor of giants. Along with Ymir, Odumbra, the cow, was born—"

"The cow Odumbra was the first animal to appear in this world. Its milk fed the ancestors of giants and gods, and this cow survived by licking the salt on the ice."

"The salt of the law of food is the same thing as the salt that gives life to the cow."

Goat Hellend looked at Yeats, his tone unconsciously filled with excitement.

"With the Law of Food, you can even...give this world new life!"

at the same time.

The golden salt block slowly sank into Ye Zhi's palm.

There was a roar in Ye Zhi's mind, and his soul was shaking. An unprecedented experience swept his soul into it with the momentum of a flood! The eight-ring divine domain is more than a hundred times larger than the seven-ring domain, enough for Ye Zhi to transfer the entire Golden Lion Kingdom into it.

Everything about the law of food emerged in Yeats' mind, like an enlightenment, and a great deal of enlightenment came into his mind! The law of food can be seen in the prayers of people at the table, the prayers of famine victims, the joyful dances at the harvest dinner, and many other scenes related to food.

With the help of the law of food, Yeats can also bring miracles to the mortals who pray to him across an entire plane.

These miracles include but are not limited to: creating a sumptuous dinner, directly exerting one's will, and feeding the hungry people in the entire village with a piece of bread...

There is a miracle called five loaves and two fishes.

Just five loaves of bread and two fish were enough to feed nearly 10,000 disaster victims.

This miracle can also be accomplished through the law of the God of Food! Artemis murmured, "I can't believe... he really succeeded!"

"To ascend to true god with a mortal body." Brunhilde's eyes flickered. "It is truly a great feat!"

"It will take some time for Him to digest the Godhead." Skach looked at Ye Zhi, who was standing still under the shade of the tree with his eyes closed, digesting the Godhead, with a gentle look in his eyes, "We will wait here."

Day and night passed, seven days and seven nights passed quietly.

Under the shade of the tree, a little bird was perched on a tree stump, singing melodiously. Suddenly, it felt the "stump" vibrate, and it spread its wings and flew away.

Ye Zhi opened his eyes, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he exhaled deeply.

Finally succeeded.

Ye Zhi felt the endless power surging in his body and a smile appeared on his face.

Promoted to Eight Gods, became the God of Cookery! The first thing that came into view was the cold and beautiful face of the Queen of Shadows, with gentle eyes.

"You finally woke up, Yeats." Skach said softly, "How do you feel?"

"I feel..." Ye Zhi said truthfully, "very hungry!"

The worry on Skach's face was replaced by a touch of joy, and he smiled and said, "I'll get you something to eat!"

"Need not."

Ye Zhi tried to use the law of food, with his palm facing the long dining table, and cast the spell "Feast of Heroes".

The empty dining table was suddenly filled with steaming delicacies, emitting an enticing aroma. The energy contained in them was enough to satisfy the gluttonous stomachs of the gods!

Sensing the movement, Artemis, Brunhilde and the Black Knight all rushed over and looked at Ye Zhi who was emitting the aura of the Eight Rings, with strange colors flashing in their eyes.

"Dear seniors, let's eat first."

Ye Zhi smiled slightly, then looked down at the world, with a sharp light flashing across his eyes.

"Then... I have a few accounts to settle in the material plane!"
