Chapter 1

Intense pain throughout his body, a splitting headache, a mouth full of blood, and the sensation that his stomach was about to burst... these were all that Li Yu felt at this moment.

At first, he assumed it was a nightmare, but gradually, the realism of every sensation intensified, crazily ravaging and torturing his soul.

Finally, in a moment of trance, he opened his eyes, and in the next instant, he saw his own unimaginable situation:

This was an old brick and mud room. In front of him was a greasy, rough, and filthy wooden table, which was almost stacked with a large number of bowls and plates, a total mess of leftovers and cold, congealed, fishy grease mixed with scraps covering everything.

And on the floor lay two incredibly miserable, tattered corpses.

One was a male corpse, bare-chested, ugly in appearance, with a broad nose and a rotten mouth, covered in grease, looking exactly like a butcher who had worked at a chopping board for years. Now, his whole body was covered in claw marks, and his abdomen had been sliced open, with fatty intestines oozing oil spilling all over the floor.

The other was a female corpse, plump and sturdy, her face thickly plastered with greasy powder, her cheeks painted with rouge, wearing a green top and a red skirt. She was not beautiful at all, but rather vulgar and fierce. Her method of death was slightly better; it seemed her neck had been snapped by force.

And as for himself, his condition was no better.

He was actually placed in a large water vat, soaking in some kind of pitch-black, cold, viscous liquid. His limbs had been broken, at least half of his bones were shattered, and he could barely move below the neck, forced to smell the nauseating stench in the room.

At the same time, in his mind, fragments of terrifying and horrific scenes were flashing back:

First was the butcher who was now a corpse on the floor. He saw himself, while still alive, constantly grabbing various bizarre, fishy, and foul-smelling raw foods from those bowls and plates, forcefully stuffing them into his original body's mouth. The movements were extremely rough, with meat scraps and residue flying everywhere, and juices bursting and splashing.

While stuffing, the butcher kept muttering in his mouth:

"Good child, eat more, eat until you're full."

"Good son, eat one more bite, just one bite."

"Good child, just endure a little longer. Once the forbidden egg in your belly hatches, you will become a Child of the Forbidden God. By then, not only can you live forever, but your father and mother can also eat your flesh and officially ascend to become 【Cuisine People】."

"By then, our whole family will have a good life. Don't be ungrateful; these foods are rare items. You know how hard your father and mother worked to collect them."

"In this Wanfu City, if you can't become a Transcendent, you live worse than pigs or dogs. Whether your father and mother can get ahead depends entirely on you."

These words were shocking enough to make Li Yu fall into a stupor.

But there was something even more horrifying: the woman, the female corpse, was dancing crazily, constantly chanting a creepy song that seemed to have been adapted from a poem.

At the beginning, he only heard:

"In a year of great famine, people sell themselves as meat in the market, known as Cuisine People..."

The rest was blurry, but every word that came through felt like a red-hot iron skewer, piercing straight into his original body's brain, constantly stirring, actually making him develop an infinite appetite even while he was about to burst from overeating.

There were even related hallucinations, abnormally realistic, making saliva surge wildly in his mouth.

The craving for human flesh was even more uncontrollable.

Finally, the bloodshed erupted.

In that crazy and evil atmosphere, the original body suddenly went mad, leaping out of the vat. His hands turned into black-armored sharp claws, and two scarlet eyes grew side-by-side on his forehead. An indescribable non-human malice appeared, and he spat out a meat tentacle several feet long from his mouth, covered in meat buds, revealing rows of fine, dense teeth as it rolled.

In the blink of an eye, the original body disemboweled the butcher and snapped the red-skirted woman's neck with his tentacle.

But soon, he seemed to wake up again, struggling and wailing as he lay back into the vat, and began to self-mutilate.

During this process, the original body would occasionally emit low murmurs and delirious babble, and occasionally wail miserably. Finally, after there was nothing left to mutilate, he spat out a large mouthful of pus and blood and completely fainted in the vat.

"Did I transmigrate? Or am I in a nightmare?"

"What Cuisine People, what parents eating meat? Where is there such a transmigration?"

"Wake up quickly!"

Li Yu, having finished watching the scenes from before his death, was almost going crazy at this moment.

Transmigrating inexplicably was already an incredibly terrible thing, and these images directly caused infinite panic to rise from the bottom of his heart, his sanity reduced to zero.

Just as Li Yu's eyes were wide open and he was about to faint, a large amount of memory fragments suddenly surged into his mind like a tidal wave.

An incredibly tragic and unimaginable life, belonging to the original body, began to merge with him.

He had no proper name and was called "Dog Cub" by those parents, the pair of male and female corpses on the floor before him.

He had been raised in the small dark room before him since childhood, had not seen many outsiders, and had always been fed various bizarre, fishy, and foul-smelling foods.

He was even suddenly stuffed into this water vat by his parents to begin thorough captivity, and every so often, he had to experience that terrible scene just now.

Even a fool could react and know that these parents were not good people, but likely extremely vicious perverts.

But the original body was kind by nature and willing to pay the price. No matter how disgusting and strange the food was, or how terrible his parents' behavior was, he accepted it willingly.

Even though because of this, his own soul was tortured until it was incomplete, neither human nor ghost.

And the last straw that broke the camel's back, causing the original body to completely collapse and go mad, was a conversation he accidentally overheard:

"Master, one more feeding, and we should be able to gather the hundred flavors to let that forbidden egg hatch completely."

"It should be about enough. That little cub has eaten us poor; if he can't transform into a 【Child of the Forbidden God】, I'll chop him up."

"Hey, Master, you said when he's ripe, should we eat him alive or slaughter him before eating? Although this cub was traded for, we've raised him for these years after all, and I really can't bear it in my heart." "Of course, eat him alive, the medicinal effect is best."

"You fierce woman, don't forget, only by eating him can we both ascend to become 【Cuisine People】 and have a chance to leave this Wanfu City and find our child back."

"Is our child really still alive? Back then, we traded children with the neighbors just to survive. We were lucky to meet a Forbidden God cultist, so we didn't eat him. That couple next door didn't have such shit luck; could they endure it?"

"Shut up! Although you and I are not yet true Cuisine People, we often worship the Forbidden God and have been granted strange powers, both having extraordinary spiritual responses. I can sense that our bloodline is still alive, right in the direction of the Qian Kingdom, waiting for us to go and find him."

These conversations were a bit disjointed, but enough for both Li Yu and the original body to understand their meaning.

Panic and anger surged up together.

"So, he didn't care about being treated as a dog cub, didn't feel bad about living in a small dark room since childhood, and didn't collapse even when being raised as a human meat elixir..."

"Only until he knew he was the 'child' of the 'trading children to eat' and that his foster parents planned to find their biological son after gaining power, did he fall into complete despair?"

"He gave up resistance during the last feeding, became alienated and mad, slaughtered his foster parents, and should have succumbed to the cannibalistic desire stimulated by that creepy song, but miraculously resisted? To prevent the evil god's forbidden egg from possessing his body and escaping, he simply mutilated his own body, destroyed his five senses, and wanted to drown in the vat?"

"I didn't expect that, in the end, I would be the one to possess him?"

=9+Shu_Ba

When Li Yu realized this, his heart was full of despair.

Now he was certain he had transmigrated!

Possessing a poor person raised as a spiritual elixir by cultist parents.

It just so happened that the original body was both kind and ruthless.

To prevent the "evil spirit" hatching inside from going out to harm people, he simply turned himself into a human pig.

Li Yu came over, only to experience the torture of starving to death once again.

"Fine!"

"As long as I can go back after starving to death, it's fine. Judging from those images, I'm afraid this shit world is one where evil gods are everywhere and demons run rampant?"

"Hmm? No!"

Just as Li Yu was complaining, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

The original body had clearly poked out his eyes and deafened his ears, so why could he see and hear now?

Also, where did the fragrance come from?

Li Yu suddenly smelled bursts of strange fragrance, an astonishing fragrance he had never smelled before.

You must know that Li Yu came from modern society, and the fragrances he had experienced were incredibly rich, and the results brought by the food industry were far beyond what food in ancient society could compare to.

But at this moment, he felt that this was the most fragrant scent he had ever smelled in his life, even triggering a series of physiological reactions.

Saliva secreted wildly in his mouth, his stomach growled, his whole body flushed, and an uncontrollable appetite surged out.

But very quickly, he discovered the source of the fragrance.

It was himself!

Every pore on his body seemed to have opened, overflowing with wisps of extraordinary fragrance, yet it couldn't drift far, and only he could smell it, to the point where he wished he could eat his own flesh and blood.

In fact, if his limbs hadn't been broken, he was afraid he would have already been driven by instinct to start gnawing on his own arms.

Stimulated by this bizarre situation, some memories that had been deliberately forgotten by the original owner immediately revived in his mind.

Those were scenes that were quite cruel:

After being parasitized by the thing called the "Forbidden Egg," the original body began to be tortured by pain every moment, and began to become very fragrant, a living human meat elixir.

Li Yu smelled the fragrance, and besides the thought of self-cannibalism, he suddenly developed a strong impulse to eat humans.

His gaze immediately looked at the two corpses on the ground.

From within his stomach, a burst of rustling, urging whispers suddenly came, drilling directly into his brain.

In a trance, because of these voices, Li Yu seemed to enter a state of "internal vision."

And so, in the next instant, he saw a scene that made him wish he could mutilate himself again:

His stomach was like that of a woman ten months pregnant, and inside was a scarlet meat ball. Under the thin membrane, there was a face exactly like his own.

Only the expression was indescribably evil.

Millions of egg filaments extended out, completely taking over all his flesh and organs below the brain, and at this moment, they secreted streams of cold, viscous liquid, flowing all over his body.

Numbness and itching came from the shattered bones, his broken limbs seemed to be slowly reconnecting, and he could even clearly feel the flesh of his severed tongue growing in his mouth...

"Not good!"

"This shit thing can even self-repair?"

Li Yu, realizing what was happening, felt terrible.
