Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal

Hehe, that’s more like it. You have to tell me some things if you ask for my help, right? Otherwise, how could I help you even if I wanted to?

What the heck, I’m a prodigal. What situation could make me willingly prepare to help out?

“There’s something very important for the Dragons.” Dyke slowly said, “Every time a Dragon King appears, the elemental powers carried by him could be shared with a Chosen One.

“In other words, if you help the Dragon races produce their new Dragon Kings, you’ll obtain the corresponding elemental abilities!” Dyke’s expression now reminded Hong Dali of a devil tempting someone to sin. “If you can help all the Dragon races produce their Dragon Kings, you’ll be able to control everything in real life. Control Fire! Control Ice! Control Earth! Control Wind! You can even control the Holy Light! You can possess limitless power! What do you say? Are you not attracted by the huge benefits?”

Control Fire! Control Ice! Control Earth! Control Wind! Even control the Holy Light!

What amazing powers are those? I’ll be able to travel anywhere in the universe without worry then, right?

Hong Dali decisively shook his head. “No…” Hm, that’s the style of our big prodigal…

“Why?” It was Dyke’s turn to be surprised. “Such powers, such strength, yet you don’t want to do it?”

“With great powers come great responsibilities. Have you never heard of that?” Hong Dali lazily sniffed. “If I turn into that, just think about it. If anything happens, people will say ‘Big Bro Dali come and help us solve it!’ If enemies come, ‘Big Bro Dali come and help us kill them.’ What will life’s meaning be then? I just wish to quietly be a prodigal!”

Hearing this, everyone instantly nodded.

This was inevitable. Everyone here was part of Hong Dali’s close family and friends group. Tang Muxin just wanted Hong Dali to be excellent, but she did not want him to turn into a god. She would not be able to follow in Hong Dali’s footsteps then. Li Nianwei just wanted to stay by Hong Dali’s side. Perhaps a little passion or kisses every now and then. However, if Hong Dali had to travel around the whole universe in the future, how could she tag along?

As for Lin Chuyin, she did not care. She agreed with whatever Hong Dali said. There were only two rules in her mind. Number one, Hong Dali was always correct. Number two, if anything went wrong, refer to rule number one.

Wang Mo, too. What huge ambitions could you expect a nine years old child to have?

The only person who was not part of the family and close friends group was Jiang Qianxue. However, she did not want Hong Dali to do it too. After all, people always changed. If Hong Dali became a god, could he still be her friend? She only had one friend in Hong Dali…

They could not be blamed for their thoughts. Everyone was like this. It was acceptable for family and friends to mature and develop slightly. However, if they suddenly became a god and the most powerful being in the universe, nobody could accept that.

There had to be an adjustment period, right?

“I see, that makes sense too.” Dyke touched his chin. He understood their thoughts when he looked at their expressions. He did not say much. He could only sigh and shake his head helplessly. “Sigh. I thought that we were fated when I saw how handsome you were. Looking at it now, maybe my eyesight was off…”

Once he said that Hong Dali instantly changed his expressions.

“That’s enough.” Hong Dali slapped his thigh. “I’ll do it!”

What the heck. I can tolerate others saying I’m trash, or I have no ambitions. However, I can’t tolerate people saying that I’m not handsome!

In this day and age, how could you survive if you weren’t handsome?!

Tang Muxin and the rest stared with wide eyes—Even this kind of tactic works?!

“Hahaha, good, good.” Uncle Dyke excitedly grabbed Hong Dali’s shoulders. “I knew that you won’t disappoint! Hahahaha! Good, great!”

“Don’t give me the useless stuff please.” Hong Dali extended his hand and rubbed his fingers together. “Uncle Dyke, you’re the Seven-Colored Dragon King. Erm, there should be some kind of benefits, right? Please don’t tell me you’re poor. If that’s the case then I’ll leave now!”

Who was that in front of him now? That’s the Seven-Colored Dragon King! The Seven-Colored Dragon King who led the Dragon races against the enemies from the parallel universe 10,000 years ago!

Only a ghost would believe that he did not have some good stuff!

Since he was going to help the Dragons, he might as well get some free benefits. He was a prodigal, and the Dragons had such a large pool of assets and wealth. He might as well make good use of all that money!

“Of course, there are benefits.” Mister Dyke smiled and said, “However, I can’t give you anything as this is just a virtual world.”

Hong Dali looked like he wanted to punch someone. Although Dyke was the Seven-Colored Dragon King, he still had to sweet talk Dali. “Don’t worry, don’t worry. You know that the universe is divided into the virtual universe and the real universe, right? Things that I can give you in the virtual universe don’t mean much. Only the things given to you in the real universe are actually useful.”

“How can I find you, then?” Hong Dali frantically said, “It’s not a good habit to write blank checks, uncle!”

“Of course, it’s not a blank check.” Dyke smiled and said, “My place is known as a distortion in the space-time continuum. You won’t be able to enter under normal circumstances. However, there are other ways too. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have looked for you.”

“If you wish to come, you need to head to the Silver Spirit Planet and look for the Green Phoenix.” Dyke discreetly looked at Acka. “I trust that you’ll definitely want to go there. Right?”

Huh? Look for Sister Green Bird? Hm, that’s a good idea.

“Alright.” Hong Dali was finally satisfied. “So when I meet Green… Sister Green Phoenix, I’ll come to find you then. It’s a deal. I won’t do it if I don’t receive the benefits. Hehe, as such a powerful Dragon King, your gifts won’t be ordinary items, right?”

“You’ll be satisfied.” Dyke nodded. “Since we’ve reached an agreement, should I send you out to continue the competition?”

“No!” Hong Dali decisively shook his head. “I hate all the killing and fighting. Let’s take a break first. Hehe.”

…

Outside, on the competition field.

They had searched for Hong Dali for ages. They even dug three kilometers deep into the ground. Yet, they still could not find Hong Dali. Li Tianxing was really curious about where Hong Dali was hiding.

Of course, his curiosity was insignificant compared to his rage.

“You’re quite brave. You couldn’t find Hong Dali, so you formed an alliance against me instead?” Li Tianxing looked at the hundreds of mechas in front of him. “Are you so naive that you think you can beat me just because you have more people?”

“We’re really sorry.” One person from the crowd smiled and said, “There’s no other way. We won’t get anything from you if we can’t find Hong Dali. Since we can’t defeat you on our own, we rather group up to increase the odds. It’s better than waiting for our deaths. Won’t you agree?”

“That’s smart, it’s a good plan.” Li Tianxing did not deny it. He smiled coldly. “Fine, this is good too. I can settle all of you in one shot. It’ll be the top hundred to top ten advancement stage after this, anyways. I don’t believe that Hong Dali can continue to hide then! Since that’s the case, all of you can die now!”

…

Outside, in the audience stands.

“Look! Li Tianxing’s side is starting their battle! Oh my god, Li Tianxing’s kill count continues to rise! Look!” Countless audience members stood up. They pointed at Li Tianxing’s kill count on the holographic projection and stared in bewilderment. “59 kills! It changed, it changed again, it’s 68 kills now! He’s continuing the massacre! 81 kills!”

“This Li Tianxing’s Team Annihilation, they’re indeed powerful.” Another person said, “Their whole team has killed over 300 mechas in the blink of an eye. Terrifying!”

“Yea, we barely said a few words, yet their total kill count went from a few dozen to over 300. They’re way too strong!”

Inside the VIP Room where the young Galaxy Aristocrats were.

“This stage of the competition is about to end. Li Tianxing still looks to be the champion. It’s terrifying!”

“His mecha is way too powerful. Nobody could cause any harm even at this stage. So many of them formed an alliance against him, yet they could barely cause a scratch. Furthermore, his mecha has self-recovery functions. What a shame.”

“Yep, with the protection from the four other mechas in his team, Li Tianxing’s mecha will probably make a full recovery soon, right?”

“Yes, for sure. I’m just curious. Why didn’t the Young Master Wuhen and the rest take the golden opportunity just now to attack? Team Salf Alliance ranked third also stayed put. What’s going on?”

“They must have some other plans. Forget it. Look, the final results of this stage are out!”

Everyone in the room turned to look at the giant holographic projection outside. It was true, the final list for the top 100 contestants had been displayed!

Only twenty teams remained. There were 100 people left!

First place: Team Annihilation. Leader: Li Tianxing. Total team mecha kills: 326.

Second place: Team Magic Armor Godly Mechas. Leader: Feng Wuheng. Total team mecha kills: 135.

Third place: Team Salf Alliance. Team Leader: Moncasio. Total team mecha kills: 106.

Fourth place…

Fifth place…

Twentieth place: Team Dali. Team Leader: Hong Dali. Total team mecha kills: 0!

The legendary, most mysterious Team Dali, who was the best at hiding, still had zero kills at the end of the stage!
