La0o9\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Proofreader: Arya\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You mean, if I want to unlock the new function of the War God System, I need to accept the call of the Bramble Birds?” Gu Qing Shan asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Correct] the System answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s great” Gu Qing Shan smiled, “not only will I get treasures from helping the Bramble Birds, I’ll also become stronger, it’s a win-win”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Incorrect] the System replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Bramble Birds are an extraordinary mystical creature, the worlds and items precious enough to be kept by it are also extraordinary]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[When such precious worlds run into any problems, the Bramble Bird would always choose to deal with it alone before anything else]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[If it doesn’t do that and instead call for outside help, then some sort of unimaginable danger must be involved in that world]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That certainly makes sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The System continued: [Furthermore, so as to receive the treasure of the Bramble Bird, it is very easy for large-scale bloodshed to happen between participants—— as countless of examples from history can prove]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan’s smile went away completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only needed to think about it briefly to understand how dangerous it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Does the Bramble Bird ignore the killing of fellow participants?” Gu Qing Shan asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Survival to the fittest is a law of nature, and the Bramble Birds agree with it]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That is… not simple” Gu Qing Shan muttered in a low voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Indeed, as the Bramble Birds are mystical creatures of the Mystic Zones, not even powerful Combatants are willing to mess with them for no reason]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Please proceed with caution]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, I’ll make sure to be on my guard when I go” Gu Qing Shan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[No, you still cannot go yet]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why not?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Only living beings of the 900 million World Layers are qualified to accept the call of the Bramble Birds, but you belong outside of the 900 million World Layers, a person of a Scattered world]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“People of the Scattered worlds aren’t qualified to accept their call?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Correct, you must obtain a universally recognized identity within any of the 900 million World Layers to be able to accept their call]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Universally recognized?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Correct, only then will that world accept and form a link with you, recognizing you as one of its people]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…How do I get universally recognized?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[At least 1\u002F3rd of the people of a world must accept your identity]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Gu Qing Shan carefully thought about what that meant, he felt amazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You need to have an official identity to be able to accept the call of the Bramble Birds!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides the Justice Iron Fist Club, I’ve never been to any other world, and getting universally recognized in a foreign world is easier said than done!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder the System wanted him to think of a way to remain here, then still asked if he wanted to stay or not after he received permission to stay for one day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are only a total of 2 people in the Justice Iron Fist Club.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it should be the easiest Super Dimensional world to be universally recognized in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——how many secrets does the System know exactly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan closed his eyes and thought for a long while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I need to become a member of the Justice Iron Fist Club… but both Barry and Kitty don’t want to involve someone else in their debt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While he was thinking, all the lights in the club shut down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Barry pulled a monster out from the club by its leg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look, today’s spoils” Barry triumphantly declared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He brought the monster in front of Gu Qing Shan and Kitty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitty stopped her writing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She leapt from her chair, looking at it excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The powerful devil who wiped out 3000 civilized worlds, titled [Terminator], was now lying on the ground like a common mob character.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the great devil from before?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While asking, Kitty poked it with her pen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monster didn’t move at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This monster didn’t actually look like a devil, more like a wild boar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only difference was that its four legs were much thicker than normal wild boars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter who it was, if they take a look at it, the first word they’d think of is ‘ham’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitty circled around the monster once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Barry asked: “Can we really eat this thing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We should be able to” Kitty answered: “Chef Cheng of Gourmet soup kitchen once told me that every powerful devil has a certain piece of meat on their body. A top-grade cooking ingredient that is both delicious and beneficial…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Barry and Kitty exchanged looks and swallowed their saliva.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan was speechless as he watched this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly realized something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The space monster that caused these two to have a stomach ache for several days in a row they talked about before was probably also captured the same way as this thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gu Qing Shan, do you think this thing can be eaten?” Kitty turned around and asked him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan looked at the wild boar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——no, the devil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This boar-like devil was still in a near-death state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan had an idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped forward, grabbing the Earth sword from the void of space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let me take a look”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying so, Gu Qing Shan tried swinging the Earth sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the heavy Earth sword connected with the devil’s supposed weak spot – his throat – it bounced back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of Gu Qing Shan’s full-power slash was not able to even finish off a near-dead devil!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Earth sword then told Gu Qing Shan: “This is a powerful devil, you need to pump all the Soul Points you have left into me to be able to slash his throat”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good!” Gu Qing Shan spoke without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Barry who was watching from the side asked: “You need me to do it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll try again” Gu Qing Shan answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An invisible wind flow drifted about Gu Qing Shan before concentrating on his sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Earth sword began to vibrate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was ready to strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan only had 1100 Soul Points left, which he used up just now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Barry and Kitty raised their brows a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would’ve thought, the power we felt from this young man wasn’t his true strength at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So his true strength requires Soul Points to be used.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soul Points… is a type of origin power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While being so weak, he could already control and use Soul Points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seems like we need to re-evaluate him outside of his cooking and cocktail mixing skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The brother and sister thought that briefly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If we want to eat it, I’ll have to prepare it right away after it’s dead, otherwise the ingredients won’t be fresh anymore”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan only said that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Earth sword’s blade swung down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His head was severed from his neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boar devil was killed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You’ve used up all your Soul Points]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Despite the massive difference in power, you managed to kill the powerful devil known as Terminator]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You’ve received an excessive amount of Soul Points from the Terminator]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The amount of Soul Points received is too great, the War God System is currently processing the accurate number]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Reminder: With so much Soul Points, you may advance to the next realm right away, or learn the Taiyi Sword Array]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Would you like to advance to the next realm?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan grabbed the devil’s hand and silently spoke: “Now’s not the time for that, I need some Soul Points to activate [Mystery of All Beings Equal] to look into this thing’s body composition”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The System replied: [To comprehend the mystery of this devil’s body composition, 10000 Soul Points is required, deducted from the Soul Points received]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[To turn into this devil, you need to spend all Soul Points received]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan instantly replied: “I only need to comprehend, not turn into it”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Understood, 10000 Soul Points had been used]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the devil’s head still in hand, Gu Qing Shan closed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a few seconds, he had already learnt the composition of the devil’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he found a miraculous piece of meat that indeed could be eaten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning the boar devil belly up, Gu Qing Shan carefully looked at its body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He found a natural rune formed from the Law of Purgatory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This rune covered the devil’s large ribs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan crouched down and cut off this rib with the Earth sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Purgatory devil soft rib]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The best cooking ingredient found in Purgatory, once cooked appropriately and eaten, it can greatly benefit your constitution and body]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[This is a relatively rare cooking ingredient, unbelievably savory and extremely nutritious]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You’ve used Mystery of All Beings Equal to see the basic composition of this piece of meat, with your cooking skills, you should know full well how to prepare it]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan took the piece of meat and slowly stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This——– can be eaten?” Barry hesitantly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait a moment”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan inhaled deeply and entered a state of absolute focus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Char-grilled beef ribs were his specialty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this wasn’t beef, it was pork—— it was devil’s ribs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he knows every last characteristic of this piece of meat, grilling a devil was still an unprecedented challenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan tapped his Inventory Bag and took out all his cooking utensils.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carefully thinking over every step, only after he had determined the best cooking procedure did he begin to prepare the ingredients.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Barry and Kitty only silently watched him without saying a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could feel Gu Qing Shan’s determination and focus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A delectable alluring scent of food filled the entire Justice Iron Fist Club.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How much longer until we can eat?” Barry’s mouth was watering as he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Only one last minute of grilling left!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan’s hand was turning the meat to cook it while he answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abruptly, a loud ‘pop’ came out from next to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A burly man wearing a cooking apron showed up out of nowhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chef Cheng!” Barry’s expression changed as he called out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For this man to appear, Gu Qing Shan’s char-grilled ribs seemed quite extraordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The burly man with the apron quickly stepped close to the ribs, then stared at Gu Qing Shan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good! Good! You didn’t shame this precious ingredient at all” he sighed out of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, he loudly declared: “Barry, give me this grilled ribs and I’ll consider your debt to me paid”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying so, he reached out wanting to take the ribs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t even think about it!” Barry shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He instantly threw a punch and smashed a hole in space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a hawk catching a baby bird, Barry grabbed and threw the burly man into the hole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Barry you asshole, I curse you to only eat raw space monsters for the rest of your life!” the burly man roared as he was reluctantly ‘escorted’ away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If that really happens, I’ll make you eat them first!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Barry shouted back indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grabbed both sides of the hole in space with his bare hands and pulled them together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hole closed up and disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Barry was finished with that, so did Gu Qing Shan’s grilled devil ribs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan divided the meat into three equal portions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Barry, Kitty and Gu Qing Shan, one for each.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can we eat yet?” Kitty asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan sprinkled one final bit of spice onto the meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now you can” he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them took the ribs in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan stayed still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitty first admired the scent of the ribs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Barry was the first to bite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hoh hoh hoh, hoh hoh hoh hoh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Barry tilted his head up and began to cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bro, what happened?” Kitty was concerned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s so hot!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Barry wiped his tears and told her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan had nothing to say: “It was just done grilling, can’t you wait for it to cool down first”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them waited for a bit more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Barry once again was the first to bite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s so good, to eat something this good, am I dreaming? Someone come smack me awake!!!!” Barry roared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that, Kitty was assured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t hesitate anymore and…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Began to eat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kitty took a few bites at first, but then she also began to silently wipe her tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why? Why do I feel a heartbreaking sourness right at the end of the bite” Kitty muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Because I slathered a thin layer of crushed garlic right at the end” Gu Qing Shan explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No! I also know how to cook, mere crushed garlic definitely cannot reach this level!!” Kitty tapped the plate as she refuted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then listen closely, my crush garlic was actually pickled in vinegar—- this is a secret ingredient, please don’t tell it to anyone else” Gu Qing Shan whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So that’s why!” Kitty sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three mouths, three ribs, ten seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dinner was over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan checked himself a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a miraculous piece of meat, his body really was becoming stronger!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body was now easily as strong as a Martial cultivator of the same level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How unimaginable, among infinite worlds, you really couldn’t use the same cultivation common sense to judge anything accurately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Barry was stunned, and at a bit of a loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This piece of meat really was beneficial to the body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could feel his wound getting better by the second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kitty”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s move away”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you crazy?
