Chronicles of Divine Cuisine

There are three thousand great paths, and each is different. This novel unfolds in a wholly new world, where flavor and the Dao merge. In modern society in the 21st century, mythology has not vanished. It survives in secret. The ancient pantheons of the East and the West have forged a fragile divine pact. Unbeknownst to mortals, they compete through their agents, and the victor will shape the laws of the world for the next millennium.

The fundamental conflict between Eastern and Western mythologies is that the East values “harmony between heaven and humanity” and “peaceful coexistence,” while the West favors “conquering nature” and “the individual above all.” This contest is about to reach its conclusion in the modern age.

The cultivation system has three tiers, each divided into three realms. The Mortal tier comprises the Delicacy-Seeking Realm, the Qi-Gathering Realm, and the Embryo-Condensing Realm. The Supernatural tier comprises the Hundred Flavors Realm, the Heartfire Realm, and the Soup-Forming Realm. The Great Dao tier comprises the Banquet-Birthing Realm, the Dao-Bearing Realm, and the Returning-to-Truth Realm.
