The delicacies of the heavens begin with obtaining gem meat.

Chapter 150 The Gift of Arceus

Upon realizing that Arceus was about to leave, a thought flashed through Jiang Yan's mind.

This is Arceus!

The creator god who created the Pokémon world!

Now that we've run into each other, we should definitely try to befriend each other.

Such an opportunity is once in a lifetime and should not be missed!

If he truly gains Arceus's approval, even if he encounters other divine beasts, they will likely spare him trouble out of respect for Arceus.

Almost instinctively, Jiang Yan called out to Arceus, who was about to leave: "Respected Arceus, please wait!"

Arceus stopped, its green eyes once again landing on Jiang Yan, a hint of doubt in them.

Jiang Yan composed himself, quickly composed himself, and said respectfully.

"I have been to many worlds and have collected quite a few ingredients from other worlds. These ingredients may be of some use."

Jiang Yan wasn't sure if the ingredients in his hand would attract Arceus's attention, but he was determined to give it a try.

Upon hearing Jiang Yan's words, Arceus's calm gaze flickered slightly, but he said nothing. However, Jiang Yan knew that he had made the right bet.

Without further hesitation, Jiang Yan opened the "Food Restaurant" and a large amount of ingredients appeared in the space.

Gemstone Meat, Flame Dragon, Green Dragon, Pufferfish Whale ———

Arceus's gaze swept over the ingredients from another world, a clear glint flashing in his eyes.

In Arceus's perception, these ingredients contained a special energy that this world had never seen before.

Furthermore, their life forms are completely different from Pokémon, and they are full of mystery.

These unique energies could perhaps be used to create entirely new Pokémon, or even new types.

Arceus glanced at Jiang Yan again, but made no move. Half of the ingredients in front of Jiang Yan vanished into thin air.

One-third of the gem meat was gone, only two pufferfish whales disappeared, the massive green dragon vanished without a trace, and most of the fire dragons remained.

Watching the ingredients being taken away, Jiang Yan couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache; they were all things he had painstakingly collected! Every single one was hard-earned.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Although I felt bad, I felt much more relaxed.

He who takes a bribe is bound to do his bidding; he who eats another's food is obligated to do his bidding.

Arceus taking his ingredients meant that the two had at least some interaction.

In the future, this creator god will most likely not bother him again in the Pokémon world, nor will he easily eliminate him.

Trading some food for safety in the Pokémon world is a worthwhile deal!

Just as Jiang Yan was secretly rejoicing, eighteen legendary stone tablets emitting different lights suddenly appeared around Arceus!

Fire, water, grass, electricity, superpowers, dragons, evil—eighteen elemental stone tablets surround Arceus, each containing immense power.

The next second, the eighteen stone slabs simultaneously emitted a dazzling light, and eighteen completely different but equally powerful energy beams shot out from the stone slabs, converging in mid-air into a dazzling seven-colored stream of light, like a shooting star, flying straight towards Jiang Yan!

Jiang Yan's pupils suddenly contracted, and his body instinctively wanted to dodge, but he forcibly restrained his instincts.

Jiang Yan knew very well that if Arceus wanted to kill him, he wouldn't need to use the eighteen legendary stone tablets.

This beam of light is definitely not an attack!

Suppressing the pounding in his heart, Jiang Yan stood straight and motionless, letting the dazzling light shine on him.

The flowing light brought no pain; instead, it was like warm spring water, slowly merging into Jiang Yan's body, flowing through every cell and seeping into the depths of his soul.

Jiang Yan could clearly feel that his body, soul, and even his senses were undergoing earth-shattering changes.

Before he could fully appreciate the change, a Pokémon egg radiating a soft glow suddenly appeared out of thin air in front of him.

Jiang Yan reacted almost instinctively, quickly reaching out and carefully cradling the Pokémon egg in his arms.

The eggshell is warm and smooth, exuding a faint sense of life.

But this is not the end.

Just as Jiang Yan was holding the Pokémon egg, filled with doubt, the remaining Flame Dragon suddenly transformed into a blazing red streak of light and flew into the Pokémon egg in his arms without any hindrance, completely merging into one.

The Pokémon egg suddenly glowed brightly, then slowly calmed down.

Jiang Yan looked down at the Pokémon egg in his arms, feeling the changes in his body, and then looked up at Arceus.

-

Jiang Yan opened his mouth, as if to ask something.

Arceus, however, clearly had no interest in answering Jiang Yan's question and simply disappeared under Jiang Yan's gaze.

Before Jiang Yan could react, the strange space in front of him vanished like a shattered mirror, and the next second, Jiang Yan landed steadily back in the original forest.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting a warm glow on him. The fresh scent of grass and trees filled the air, and a green caterpillar stared blankly at him.

At the same time, the remaining ingredients also appeared beside him.

Jiang Yan felt relieved and prepared to take the ingredients back to the "Food Restaurant".

Just as Jiang Yan was using the "Food Restaurant", a strange message suddenly appeared in his mind, leaving him stunned on the spot.

The "Food Restaurant" has changed; it has undergone a tremendous and unimaginable transformation!

Originally expanded to a space of 50,000 cubic meters, it has now increased a hundredfold, reaching a full five million cubic meters.

What's even more amazing is that the entire "Food Restaurant" space is clearly divided into two areas.

-

One side still looked familiar, a place where food could be stored for a long time.

On the other side, however, there was an intense, pervasive sense of life, with every inch of space brimming with vitality.

What made Jiang Yan ecstatic and his heart pound was that the oaths and restrictions he had previously made were now completely lifted and disappeared without a trace!

The original abilities of the "Edible Restaurant" have not only not disappeared, but have been strengthened to the extreme without any weakening.

This is no longer a simple storage space; it is clearly a paradise that Arceus himself transformed for him!

Jiang Yan suppressed his excitement and quickly gathered all the ingredients around him into the container.

This made Jiang Yan notice another change: the amount of ingredients consumed was extremely small. Otherwise, he really wouldn't have been able to collect all the ingredients at once.

After collecting the ingredients, Jiang Yan couldn't resist testing the changes at the "Food Restaurant".

His gaze shifted and landed on the baby Rayquaza perched on a tree branch not far away.

The green caterpillar was clearly frightened by Jiang Yan's sudden disappearance and reappearance without warning.

Its round, black eyes were wide open. It lay motionless on the branch, even forgetting to nibble on the leaves around its mouth. It looked completely dazed, which was particularly comical.

Jiang Yan looked at the green caterpillar that he seemed to have a special connection with, and a thought struck him. He tried to use his consciousness to directly put it into the "Food Restaurant", but unfortunately, he failed.

But this was within Jiang Yan's expectations.

He stepped forward, reached out and gently hooked the soft, green caterpillar into his palm, then tried again.

This time, as Nian was depleted, the green caterpillar in his palm instantly disappeared and appeared in the vibrant area of ​​the "Food Restaurant".

To verify the changes in the "Food Restaurant", Jiang Yan grabbed a handful of soil, plucked a leaf, and even uprooted a small shrub, trying to put them all into the restaurant. Without exception, they were all successful!

Whether it's inanimate or living objects, they can all be easily stored without any restrictions.

Afterwards, Jiang Yan immersed his consciousness into the "Food Restaurant" and clearly saw that after a brief moment of panic and confusion, the green caterpillar immediately wiggled its round body and ran to the leaf that had been placed inside, where it began to happily gnaw on it.

Seeing this, Jiang Yan could no longer suppress the smile on his lips.

"Thank you, Arceus!"

Jiang Yan expressed his heartfelt gratitude.

Now, his "Food Restaurant" can be described as a simple yet truly idyllic paradise.

Given time, and with continuous nurturing and improvement, it is entirely possible that it could evolve into a complete and independent little world in the future!

In his excitement, Jiang Yan tried to enter the "Food Restaurant" again. As soon as the thought arose, his body disappeared into the forest and the next moment he was standing inside the "Food Restaurant".

What surprised Jiang Yan even more was that when he was in the "Food Restaurant", he felt as if he had become the master of the place. With a thought, he could control all the items in the space at will.

Jiang Yan, feeling playful, directly used his mind to control the ingredients he had previously stored away. The flames, cooking utensils, and seasonings operated smoothly under his control.

In no time, a fragrant dish was freshly prepared.

After eating and drinking his fill, Jiang Yan placed the Pokémon egg left by Arceus in the very center of the "Life Zone" of the Food Restaurant, and then left the Food Restaurant and returned to the forest.
