Chapter 698: This Fierce Beast is a Foodie
"Cigar?" The beast had never encountered human life, so naturally, it had never seen such a thing. However, for some reason, the faint aroma wafted into its nostrils, calming its tense nerves significantly.
The burly man took the cigar and, as if possessed, placed the burning end into his mouth.
"Whoa, is your original form a PPD?" Fang Jueyu quickly pulled the cigar from his mouth, "Bro, you're smoking it backwards..."
"Hiss!" The man took a deep breath, and a look of intoxication appeared on his face. Strangely, the intense pain in his head seemed to dissipate considerably.
"I always feel a bit out of place without something in my mouth," Fang Jueyu, who didn't have a smoking habit, pulled out an Alpine lollipop and popped it into his mouth.
"Here, chew on this!" Fang Jueyu casually tossed a Demigod's bone to Ergou. It was a bone he had collected into his spatial storage device when the Purple Crystal Skeleton shattered bones with its divine power in the ruins.
A man and two beasts sat together in harmony.
"Human, what's your background?" The man finally regained his composure, "Why is there the will and power of a Divine Sovereign in your body?"
"What exactly is this Divine Sovereign you're talking about?" Fang Jueyu heard these two words from the man for the second time but didn't know if it was a realm or a person.
Xiao Yi had said that the end of science is theology. He had guessed that above Demigods might be gods. Could the so-called Divine Sovereign be these gods? For a moment, Fang Jueyu's mind was a bit chaotic.
"Never mind, I won't lie to you anymore," Fang Jueyu guessed that the man might not know how long he had survived in this Root Universe and might know something about Wanshen Manor.
Fang Jueyu recounted how he entered Wanshen Manor and then, by coincidence, arrived at the so-called God's Graveyard. The man's eyes glowed as if considering the credibility of these words.
Clearly, this explanation was much more believable than the stuff about Calabash Brothers or Pirates, and he could fully understand it.
"You humans are always like that, fond of mutual slaughter, unlike us, who are more candid and harmonious."
Fang Jueyu had almost nothing to say in response to the man's remark. These things had always been humanity's inherent flaws. Compared to humans, beasts did indeed seem much purer.
"Hmph, regardless, since you've found this God's Graveyard, I can't let you leave here," the man said. "I know you have the protection of the Divine Sovereign's power, but as long as I don't lay a hand on you, that power won't attack me. Besides, being alone here is quite lonely, so why not stay and keep me company, hahaha!"
"This damned panda, sometimes stupid, sometimes smart," Fang Jueyu had indeed tried to activate the golden figure's power again, but nothing happened. It seemed that it would only protect him in life-threatening situations.
Although he would be transported out after the exam, there were still more than two years until the end. Everyone else was furiously improving their strength and gaining points, while he was stuck here with no progress and might even miss the Cosmic Federation School's quota.
"Host, something big has happened!" Xiao Yi suddenly said.
"Check your ranking in the Cosmic Federation entrance exam!"
"What?" Fang Jueyu remembered his previous rank in the top 1000, but now his name was nowhere on the list, and he couldn't find it no matter how hard he looked.
"What's going on?" Fang Jueyu panicked.
"Host, even for a Demigod, their power is limited. The mark left on you acts almost like a signal transmitter, used for evaluation and positioning. When you return to the material universe, this thing is also necessary."
"Now it seems you're in a signal-dead zone, and when the exam ends, you probably won't be able to leave this place."
"What?" Hearing this, Fang Jueyu panicked. Was he going to spend a lifetime in this cursed place with that damned panda? He'd rather just swallow it whole.
If he couldn't return, wouldn't his family be worried sick?
"No, I have to find a way to get out of here!" Fang Jueyu fell into deep thought.
Suddenly, a gurgle came from the man's stomach. He patted his belly and abruptly vanished into the void of the God's Graveyard.
Moments later, he reappeared beside Fang Jueyu.
"Boom!" Two beast corpses crashed to the ground. They were two Controller-level beasts, each over ten meters long, with only one wound each, killed with a single blow. To the Demigod-level beast, these Controller-level beasts were merely food.
The man revealed his true form once more and started tearing into the two corpses.
"Glug, glug!" Two Life Crystals rolled out from the corpses, catching Fang Jueyu's eye. If Mohe absorbed the energy from these Life Crystals, he might immediately break through to a Divine Ability User!
But with the beast watching, Fang Jueyu dared not make any rash moves. It couldn't kill him, but it could make him suffer easily.
"Hmph! Turning grief into appetite! Eating this stuff doesn't even make you nauseous!" Perhaps out of spite, Fang Jueyu pulled out a pack of instant noodles and, using Cosmic Source Power, created a flame to cook it.
"Tsk tsk tsk, Earth's things still smell the best!" Although there was no impact, these things were so popular and enduring on Earth for a reason, and the aroma quickly spread, making Fang Jueyu's saliva unconsciously start to flow.
"Huff huff!" The panda beast was enjoying its feast on the two beast bodies when it caught a whiff of the enticing aroma.
Honestly, while the beasts' meat contained abundant energy, it had a bloody taste and no other flavor, only serving to sustain life.
Ever since coming to the God's Graveyard, it had never left, nor had it tasted human food. Smelling the instant noodles for the first time was akin to the beginning of love.
"Hm, pfft! What is this stuff?" It tossed aside the two remains and transformed back into human form, cautiously approaching Fang Jueyu, careful not to tip over the pot of noodles.
"What's that thing? Why does it smell so good?" The man stuck a finger in his mouth and sucked it, almost drooling, a sight hard to associate with the mighty, fierce Demigod beast from moments ago.
"This is instant noodles, a special product of our divine riches civilization!" Fang Jueyu pulled out a pair of chopsticks and slurped.
"Can I have a taste?" With his strength, the man could easily snatch the pot of noodles from Fang Jueyu, but he was afraid of spilling it in the scramble and thus was extra cautious.
"Is this guy actually a foodie?" Fang Jueyu was astonished. "Hey, take it, take it, just don't bother me!"
Fang Jueyu handed over the pot of noodles, cooked another batch, and pulled out a bag of spicy sticks to munch on.
"This is so delicious! I've never eaten anything so good in my life!" The man slurped up the noodles in no time, drinking even the soup to the last drop.
"Such fragrant flavor!" His eyes fell once more on the spicy sticks in Fang Jueyu's hand...
