Land of the Gods.

The Battle God, sitting on his throne, was having a headache.

“Battle God, how can you abandon Nerva as your successor and choose the man called ?”

“What kind of existence is the Battle God? The Battle God will protect the Land of the Gods for a long time.”

“Battle God, he is a foreigner. Tell us! How can a foreigner lead the gods and protect the Land of the Gods?!”

“The Battle God’s Descendant has to unite all of humankind and even rule and control those that have rebelled against us, gods! Do you think that man can do that, Battle God?!”

“Food God? The Food God is nothing but a god that loves to eat! The worst part? He’s nothing but a Continental God! He’s less influential than the previous generation Sword God, Valen!”

The gods all kowtowed in front of him and shouted one after another. They had been doing this for days, but it seemed they were not getting tired yet.

The Land of the Gods was turned entirely upside down when Minhyuk established his and the Battle God accepted him as his successor. Just like they said, the Battle God had to lead all of the gods to battle if the Land of the Gods was ever left in danger.

However, the main reason they kept on pestering the Battle God here was that these gods did not want to acknowledge a mere Continental God like the Food God,specially when the Battle God’s Sword was there. Why did the Battle God accept someone like him as his successor, who was nothing but a child compared to Nerva?

“This lord chose him because I have seen a much greater potential in him than in Nerva.” The Battle God had uttered these words a hundred times over.

However, the gods, who believed only what was presented to them, did not listen to him at all. Thus, the words of the Battle God held no sway with them since they were determined not to listen at all.

Then, the man who led most of these gods stepped forward. “Battle God!”

The Battle God frowned. The man’s name was Bentley, the . Bentley was very influential among the gods. He was the god who created almost all of the dungeons in the present world.

“How about asking the Food God to go to ?”

“...!”

“...!”

“...!”

All of the gods, including the Battle God, were quite surprised by the suggestion.

What kind of place was the Argalis Dungeon? The Argalis Dungeon was not created by Bentley but by the Third Generation God of Dungeons, Evas. Evas was a master who made remarkable and outstanding dungeons of the highest quality. According to the records, Evas gathered several gods to create this dungeon, which resulted in bigger and better rewards for the dungeon. However, none of them knew about the dungeon’s rewards yet.

What did that mean? Simple.

The gods could live for eternity. Since they did not age, the only way for them to die was if they were killed. In other words, their physical body had to be damaged.

All forty promising, excellent, and continental gods in the Land of the Gods, that challenged the Argalis Dungeon had died inside.

“Just watch. Whoever comes out of this dungeon one day will be able to receive the praise and recognition of all of the gods. Not only that, they would also be able to gain a lot there. Perhaps they could also receive whatever they longed for inside that dungeon.” Bentley recited the words that the Third Generation God of Dungeons Evas had said when he looked at the Argalis Dungeon for the first time.

Many were tempted to try the dungeon mainly because of those words that Evas had left behind. However, those who tried their hardest all failed to conquer it.

“However, if they fail then everyone would witness their fall.”

Unlike the people and gods of this world, the foreigners were immortal beings who could come back to life even if they died. Bentley knew that foreigners would face huge penalties if they failed to conquer a dungeon.

“What Sir Bentley says seems to be the most reasonable solution.”

“Argalis Dungeon, huh? Argalis Dungeon is like the tomb of the gods. I will recognize him if he can come out of that place safely.”

The Battle God pondered for a bit as he listened to their words.

The Battle God was fully aware of that fact. However, he did not know if Minhyuk could successfully escape that dungeon. If he could, then these gods would no longer have anything to say.

Then, the Battle God said, “Is the God of Reputation here?”

“Yes, I’m here, Battle God.”

The God of Reputation was a god who could reward players and NPCs through various achievements, titles, and the like.

The Battle God ordered him, “If my successor comes out of that dungeon safely, then you must prepare a title ”

“...”

The God of Reputation was rendered speechless. The Argalis Dungeon was a place that even the gods could not break and clear. What kind of title should he prepare if the Battle God’s Descendant cleared it?

The Battle God did not explicitly answer the clamoring gods. However, the fact that the God of Reputation was tasked to create an exceptional title just for the foreigner to receive was enough of an answer.

The God of Reputation rushed out to prepare for the title.

***

These were the notifications that Minhyuk heard when he returned to his office. All of this was thanks to the efforts of the Great Spirit of Earth Rend and Rumble. Rend even readily offered to protect Rumble as they worked on the field.

Of course, Minhyuk handed the pickaxe to him and spoke.

Just like that, Minhyuk could seduce Rend with his sugar-coated words and successfully .

Minhyuk thought, a small smile lingering on his face. He finally let go of the burden in his heart and let go of the operations of the Beyond the Heavens Empire to his friends and vassals.

At that moment, he remembered the words that Helenia had told him before. She had graciously offered to give him a reward if he could defend against her attacks. Perhaps she only offered such an enticing offer because she stood in a very high position.

Minhyuk quickly pulled out the notification window and scrolled through the countless notifications that he had not had time to check before.

When Minhyuk saw this, he could not hide his disappointment.

As Minhyuk expected, Helenia was a woman he did not like from the beginning to the end.

His weapons and defensive artifacts were already excellent enough, and the same was true for his gold. The profits that he had made from the other kingdoms and empires before were more than enough to support the Beyond the Heavens Empire for quite a long time. Since that was the case, the only appropriate reward for him to choose was the third option.

“I choose the .”

Normally, Minhyuk would have hesitated when choosing between his two classes. He would have probably thought, But that was not a choice for his own sake.

Minhyuk believed that he had yet to discover all of the Food God's skills. Of course, he already had quite a lot of the Food God’s skills in his possession. He had the Food God’s Cooking, Create a Recipe, Ingredient Search, Everyone’s Delight, Inversing Giddiness, Allurer’s Cooking, and many more. However, Minhyuk never thought that it was already the end.

And perhaps there was a power there that would help Minhyuk enjoy his dishes more.

“Food God.”

If others heard him, they would be very shocked by the choice that he made.

“...?”

Minhyuk could not understand for a moment. The quest had just been created, but it was completed right away. However, it did not end there.

“Wait! This… no way?!” Only at this point did Mihyuk understand what was happening.

Minhyuk thought,

Among all of the quest types, linked quests had much better rewards compared to ordinary quests. This was because linked quests required much more time and were more challenging to clear. Also, if, for example, a linked quest was divided into three parts, one could not continue on to the next quest if they failed at the second part. Because of that, the rewards for the last part of a linked quest would always be far greater than the rewards of a regular quest.

However, Minhyuk was now skipping all of the quests related to the Food God that he had to do initially. Of course, the rewards also kept on piling in. It was simply amazing.

Finally, the quests came to an end.

The only thing that was different was that the description had changed into a video. At this point, Minhyuk noticed, ‘This quest probably has one of the Food God’s powers,

Minhyuk had just assumed this but based on the rewards he obtained from the skipped linked quests earlier, there was a high chance that his assumptions were correct.

Then, Minhyuk said, “Start the video.”

At the same time, the scene in front of Minhyuk changed. Everything around him turned dark as a middle-aged man's soft and gentle voice rang in his ears.

Although darkness completely covered his vision, Minhyuk felt like he could see the man's face for some reason. The man must have been excited and delighted at the thought of being able to meet other gods. He must have thought that he could now show the other gods that even though was the most mundane and trivial thing in one’s life, it could be considered the most incredible and unique.

The darkness slowly faded away only to reveal Ravier’s figure. Ravier was being surrounded and pointed at by many other gods.

Minhyuk felt like he also fell on the ground, his view changing and getting closer to the cold marble floor.

At the same time, he heard and saw the gods laughing at him.

Minhyuk’s eyes opened and closed just like how Ravier opened and closed them back then. Minhyuk’s vision shook as many gods mocked and laughed at him. Then, a god approached him and poured wine over his head. At the same time, the name of the god appeared in his head.
