Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal

“Ah, this…” Hong Dali pulled on his hair and said, “I had never thought of such a profound question before. I want to be a prodigal, not the most powerful man in the Universe. I am not very good at sports from birth, training in martial arts isn’t my specialty…”

“Since that is the case, then, close your eyes…” Speaking up to this point, a strong light suddenly shot out from the green bird’s eyes and enveloped Hong Dali.

Very quickly, such an image appeared in Hong Dali’s mind.

He was standing in the Universe. With one punch, he destroyed a planet. With another punch, he destroyed a star. He could move in space with his body alone, without any constraints. No one was a match for him. In this Universe, he was invincible!

If a human could have this kind of power, everyone’s reaction would be very different. The green bird gave Hong Dali such a wrong sense of perception, or rather an illusion, in order to test him and see what his true nature was.

Then, the green bird became totally depressed…

The scene changed.

Hong Dali lazily laid on a bed, it was 8 AM in the morning, and a robot came to wake him up. In his usual unwilling manner, he said, “I already said not to wake me up so early…”

“Sorry, Sir. You planned to go out and play today. If you get up any later…” The robot butler reminded.

“Oh…” Hong Dali unwillingly climbed out of bed and mumbled, “How am I supposed to survive like this? I am the strongest person in the Universe, after all. Is there still human rights, is there still laws—speaking of which, where am I supposed to be going to play today…”

The green bird: “…”

Honestly speaking, the green bird here was only a projection. Its true self was a Green Phoenix living on a giant planet in the Universe. It had already existed for more than a thousand years and had a good relationship with the Galaxy Aristocrats. The green bird here was a projection that the Galaxy Aristocrats made based on one percent of its true strength.

Its planet was one of the places where the final trials for the promotion of purple-level to black-level Honorary Aristocrats were held. In the time that it had lived, it had seen countless people and countless strong people.

However, this was the first time that it saw someone as carefree and easily contented as Hong Dali.

The strongest power in the Universe lazying in bed and not wanting to get up!?

The green bird refused to believe this and continued to test Hong Dali’s inner heart and his past.

After it continued to look on, it was again dazed.

In that ball of light, Hong Dali’s past slowly submerged. The person in the image had even rewind back to before he was born…

That was a blue-colored planet, not very big, but very very beautiful.

A city that wasn’t very big, in the mountains to its west.

In a villa on the mountain.

There was a young couple. From their appearance, it could be observed that they were Hong Dali’s parents, Hong Weiguo and Lan Ruoxi.

However, their appearance was much younger than now. If those who knew them could see this, they could definitely tell the time that this scene represented.

18 years ago, before Hong Dali was born.

This was the fifth year after Hong Weiguo and Lan Ruoxi were married, and Lan Ruoxi was finally pregnant…

This was a piece of extremely good news to the Hong Family. But just as Lan Ruoxi was engrossed in the happiness of becoming a mother, she started to frequently become lethargic and her gums often bled too!

At first, Lan Ruoxi wasn’t very concerned about this. Until one day, when they were watching television, Lan Ruoxi suddenly went unconscious. Hong Weiguo hurriedly sent her to the hospital and, after a thorough check, the doctor said with a grave expression, “Mrs. Lan Ruoxi has acute aplastic anemia, complicated with sepsis. This disease is extremely rare during pregnancy and is very dangerous. It is recommended that she go through induced abortion!”

Induced abortion!

For Hong Weiguo, such news was akin to being struck by lightning.

It wasn’t an overstatement to say that this wasn’t a problem about money anymore, but whether they could have this child or not!

Hong Weiguo went back to the ward and wanted to give Lan Ruoxi a smile, but the already 30 plus years old Hong Weiguo couldn’t hold back his tears. Holding Lan Ruoxi’s hand, Hong Weiguo said in a deep voice, “Let’s… Let’s not have this child… We can have another one after you recover. I can’t… I can’t lose you…”

Hong Weiguo had never lied in his entire life.

Lan Ruoxi instantly understood that she was in a very grave and critical situation now. However, she still clenched her teeth and persisted in having the child. “Even if I die, I must give birth to this child! Weiguo, you are aware of our situation. It was not easy for us to have this child. If we don’t have this child this time, we may… never have another chance.”

“I…” Looking at Lan Ruoxi’s eyes, Hong Weiguo nodded and said, “I understand…”

After that, Hong Weiguo’s love for Lan Ruoxi doubled, but the doctor’s words still echoed in his ears.

“If you insist on giving birth, you must protect yourself in normal times and do your best to prevent bleeding. During gestation, you must go through anemia treatment and come to the hospital regularly to do pregnancy health checks… then see if a miracle happens!”

A miracle… would it happen?

In fear of harming the fetus, Lan Ruoxi didn’t go to the hospital regularly to do anemia treatment but instead bought nutritional supplements to enrich her blood. As the days went by, not only did the number of times of her gum bleeding increase, even the bruises on her body increased too.

This situation persisted for more than four months. One day, when Lan Ruoxi was resting, she suddenly felt a movement in her womb! This was the first time that she felt fetal movement, she was so excited that she wasn’t able to sleep properly for a few days!

Every night, she would lie in Hong Weiguo’s arms with a blissfulness face and say, “This child is our hope and also the continuation of my life. No matter what pains I have to go through, it will be worth it as long as I can give birth to our baby!”

As Hong Weiguo saw this, his heart hurt.

But he also knew that his flesh and blood was in Lan Ruoxi’s womb.

The days after that got even more difficult.

Not long later, the bruises on Lan Ruoxi’s body had connected into a huge patch. Just a soft touch on the skin and blood would seep out through the poles. Because of her longing to give birth to this child, she would often have the same dream: A white and clean child standing in front of her calling her “Mother”. This dream had been supporting her and helping her to persevere.

However, Lan Ruoxi’s body gradually lost to the invasion of the disease. One morning, after she had breakfast, she actually vomited a large mouthful of blood! Just as she was feeling frightened, she suddenly felt her baby softly moving for a bit inside her womb.

At that moment, she seemed to hear her child saying, “Mother, don’t be afraid!” She instantly calmed down and felt an extraordinary strength inside her body. However, she knew that for the health of her child, she had to go for blood transfusion therapy.

That day, when Hong Weiguo brought the doctor home to do the blood transfusion, when the doctor saw her situation, he was extremely shocked. “You actually bore with this until now? You are really amazing!”

At the same time, the doctor told her: “In order to prevent bleeding, it’s best that you do a natural birth because it is very easy to bleed heavily during cesarean delivery.” Under the doctor’s advice, she started actively controlling her food intake to prevent the child from growing too big and become difficult to give birth to.

Those days went on for more than a month.

One night, after Lan Ruoxi had dinner, she suddenly felt that her stomach was very uncomfortable.

After she went to the toilet and relieved herself, when she stood up, she was astonished! The toilet stool was full of blood!

This time, Hong Weiguo was really scared silly!

After he sent Lan Ruoxi to the hospital, Lan Ruoxi’s first words weren’t to ask about her own condition, but instead asked for the condition of her child!

Very quickly, the result of the ultrasound inspection was out. The doctor looked at the report and breathed a sigh of relief. He said, “I really didn’t expect that the life of this child is so tough!” The situation was that the baby was safely sleeping inside her womb now!

Only after she heard this did Lan Ruoxi let out a long breath.

However, although there wasn’t anything wrong with the baby, Lan Ruoxi’s illness had worsened, causing her internal organs to bleed.

“This time, you must consider yourself lucky.” The doctor looked at Lan Ruoxi and solemnly said, “Our advice is that it’s better to abort the child. If not, it will easily cause danger to your life.”

However, Lan Ruoxi softly rubbed her belly and with a blissful smile on her face, she gently said, “The child is already so big now, how can I be so vicious as to abort him? Even if I die, with this child, he will become the continuation of my life! Next time, seeing this child will be akin to seeing me…”

Hong Weiguo’s face was flooded with tears.

Unfortunately, after they went home, Lan Ruoxi’s condition worsened. One morning, when she was relieving herself, she realized that her stool had blood in it. After she came out of the washroom with a face pale, Hong Weiguo knew that she had bled again.

“Ruoxi.” Hong Weiguo hugged Lan Ruoxi tightly in his arms and as his tears rolled down his face, he said, “If you are not around anymore, I… how am I supposed to live on by myself… If there’s really no other way, let’s just…”

Lan Ruoxi’s tears blurred her eyes. She tightly bit her lips, not knowing what to say.

She knew that Hong Weiguo loved her a lot, and she loved him too. She was indeed really afraid of what would happen to Hong Weiguo if she didn’t make it…

Yet, just at this moment, she felt another fetal movement again. It was as if she could hear the baby objecting. “Mother! Don’t leave me behind!”

Lan Ruoxi’s tears instantly flooded out. “This child is my life, I cannot lose him! Weiguo, let me give birth to him!”

The end result was that Hong Weiguo could only compromise.

And yet, at this moment, a miracle happened…

After that incident, Lan Ruoxi’s body condition wasn’t as had as they anticipated. The number of times that she coughed blood got fewer and fewer. Every time after she went to the toilet, Hong Weiguo would stare at her face for a long while to see if her face was whiter than before she went in. If it was, that would mean that she had bled again. However, after several observations, he realized that she practically didn’t bleed anymore.

This caused Hong Weiguo to be very surprised, yet at the same time very uneasy.

Because he was afraid that this was her final burst of life before she died, just like how a flower would gloom to its fullest before it wilted.
