The years are like wine, the more they settle, the more fragrant they become.

People are sometimes like this as well. The more they settle, the greater the changes, and such changes often bring greater charm to a person.

Li Chen doesn’t feel that the years that added themselves to him have bestowed any particular charm.

But it must be said that over the years, he has indeed changed a lot.

Previously, Li Chen didn’t have much ambition or aspirations, content to be in a city that was neither too big nor too small, wandering around joyfully every day, sipping wine, smoking a cigarette, and teasing pretty girls.

However, as time and experiences passed, Li Chen’s demeanor changed a lot.

He is still himself, Li Chen is still Li Chen, but compared to before, he has gained a bit more maturity and depth.

"But I am still me, not anyone else." Li Chen smiled slightly, setting up the grill, and happily started roasting legendary delicacies.

"I have some wine here." Seeing Li Chen seriously barbecuing, Leng Yao quickly said from the side.

"Wine, huh." Li Chen nodded: "I gave it up a long time ago, but an occasional taste isn’t bad."

Li Chen wasn’t just grilling chicken; he somehow managed to find plenty of meat, sharing it with others to grill as well.

Seeing the things Li Chen handed out, Leng Yao couldn’t help but feel speechless.

Aren’t these creatures from the Ancient Battle Realm?

Moreover, what shocked Leng Yao even more was that these native creatures from the Ancient Battle Realm, even after death, still retained a powerful aura, at least possessing the strength of formidable Ferocious Beasts with Soul Realm powers.

From any angle, Li Chen seemed like just a Domain Realm, yet in his eyes, Soul Realm creatures were merely food...

Thinking about the Supreme Treasure Li Chen possessed, Leng Yao quickly came to terms with it.

Of course, he didn’t know that the grilled meat Li Chen brought out wasn’t from being killed by a Supreme Treasure, but was instead slain outright by Li Chen himself.

Although having just killed many people and eating immediately might be off-putting, once these true rarities were grilled, a peculiar fragrance immediately engulfed everyone’s noses, as if they had forgotten the bloody scenes from before.

Especially the martial artists of the Heaven Realm, many of whom were already fasting, but upon smelling this fragrance, couldn’t help but be tempted, rushing to Leng Yao’s side, grabbing a large piece, and feasting upon it heartily.

Li Chen and the others were on the other side, and since there wasn’t much Eight-Treasure Chicken, he divided it among those around him, knowing if he shared with Leng Yao and the others, he’d have nothing left to eat himself.

"You... do you carry these things with you?!"

Seeing Li Chen take out various bottles and jars from his ring, Christina couldn’t help but be speechless.

Although she had never used such items, from the aroma alone she could tell these were seasonings.

But regardless, when the layers of seasoning were sprinkled over the roasted Eight-Treasure Chicken, the alluring fragrance made her mouth water even more.

"When you’re traveling, you must be a little prepared." Li Chen smiled. He had kept these items in the ring for a long time now, luckily without a flow of time concept inside, or else after so many years, they’d surely be unusable by now.

Only Yang Xin couldn’t help but want to laugh while looking at Li Chen.

She was different from the others, having known Li Chen from way back.

She knew which place Li Chen claimed to have come from, Huaxia, one of the most famous food capitals on their planet.

They even have a saying: "Food is the god of the people."

Eating is something you never forget, no matter where you are.

Li Chen had traveled so many places, through years of hardships and dangers, he indeed might’ve changed a lot, but changing one’s nature is quite challenging.

"I mean, why is a Demon like you fighting us over food? Hey, hey, hey! Slow down, that drumstick is mine!"

Once the Eight-Treasure Chicken was done, Christina swiftly snagged a drumstick and went off to taste it slowly on her own.

Only after Christina walked away, did Zhang Shutong finally ask Li Chen: "What’s your plan next?"

"Plan? Li Chen leisurely cooked slices of chicken, handing them over to Tian Yi and Yang Xin, and said slowly: "I don’t have a plan. What to do next will depend on those folks’ own choices." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Tian Yi had already been drooling, and upon receiving the Eight-Treasure Chicken from Li Chen, revealed a happy smile.

"Those people won’t let things rest," Zhang Shutong calmly said.

"I know." Li Chen shrugged: "After all, I possess a Supreme Treasure, something everyone in the Four Realms covets."

"Since you know, why..."

"It’s already exposed, so there’s no point in hiding it." Li Chen casually replied: "Besides, in the Regretless Mountain Range, everyone’s cultivation is suppressed to the Domain Realm. Besides that..."

Saying this, Li Chen grinned at Zhang Shutong, flashing brilliantly white teeth: "As long as they’re at the Domain Realm, no matter how strong they are. No matter how many come, I’ll kill them all; it’s not an empty boast."

"But you’ll have to leave the Regretless Mountain Range eventually." Yang Xin sighed softly from the side.

"When it’s time to leave, I’ll have my way." Li Chen smiled mysteriously at the few people around him.

Hearing Li Chen’s words, the two could only follow his lead helplessly.

When the soldiers come, a general is sent; when water rises, earth covers it. For now, they could only take one step at a time.

They crossed the Three Births River, and after doing so, everyone experienced an eternal dream, or rather, each person’s dreams were different.

Li Chen didn’t ask what they experienced in their dreams, nor did they ask exactly what Li Chen experienced.

But some things, Li Chen remembered firmly in his mind.

"Past life, future life, what is it really about?" Li Chen pondered slightly.

The dream was different from ordinary dreams, too real, too shocking. Rather than calling it a dream, it was more like a reincarnation.

At this thought, Li Chen’s body trembled slightly.

"Could it really... be reincarnation?"

Thinking about reincarnation, Li Chen couldn’t help but recall the people he met in the dream.

Did those people truly exist?

Did Guangming’s Reincarnation Dao truly succeed in the end? Did he achieve the Palm Realm?

What about Zhuo Wuju, Jun Zhixin, those people, what happened to them in the end? Did they die in battle, or did they hide within the eternity of time?

Li Chen felt that maybe it would take a very, very long time for him to untangle this mystery.
