Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal

Becoming Weiwu’s brother from a different tribe!

Hong Dali was extremely happy to hear Black Flood Dragon Wuwei’s words. He laughed and said, “Haha. Since that is the case, I will not stand on ceremony. Brother Wuwei!” He said this most sincerely.

Hong Dali, the animal lover, had a new friend!

“Brother Hong Dali!”

“Brother Wuwei!”

At the bottom of the lake, one human and one flood dragon cheered happily, both in a joyous mood.

They continued laughing happily for a while, then the Black Flood Dragon suddenly said, “Brother, we’re here. This is where the Bright Moon Air Concentrating Grass grows. Brother, get ready, I will open my mouth in a while. Once you all get out of my mouth, quickly pluck the Bright Moon Air Concentrating Grass and eat it. This way, you can survive in the water and not die from suffocation.”

“Okay, no problem, haha!”

Once he could feel Hong Dali and the others in his mouth, the Black Flood Dragon laughed and said, “Brothers, get ready.” After that, he opened his mouth that was more than ten meters long.

Those from the Holy Beast tribe would never easily agree to become sworn brothers with humans. In contrast, once they became brothers, they would be totally sincere. Hong Dali would never doubt the sincerity of the Black Flood Dragon Wuwei. Most importantly he really had no fear of water, so when the Black Flood Dragon Wuwei opened its huge mouth, Hong Dali immediately rushed forward. He immediately saw several giant blades of grass which glowed faintly with a blue light in front of him.

It was a giant grass about 30 meters high, divided into three sections. Each section had three huge leaves. At the top, was a crystal clear fruit. However, when Hong Dali and others saw the fruit, they were immediately flustered.

It was definitely a good fruit. There was no doubt that it was the fruit of the Bright Moon Air Concentrating Grass. The problem was, this blue faintly glowing fruit was just a little too big. The entire fruit was at least three meters tall. How were they to eat such a humongous thing?

Just as Hong Dali was wondering what he should do, he heard the Black Flood Dragon chuckling. “Brother, I was too happy earlier and forgot to tell you that the Bright Moon Air Concentrating Grass you see is just an illusion. Its actual size is just half a meter high. This 30-meter-tall version is just an illusion it created to protect itself. The real grass is at the root end of the illusion. You just have to try looking there and you will see.”

Hong Dali was at a loss for words.

The millions of living things in the Universe were indeed amazing. This Bright Moon Air Concentrating Grass was so amazing that it was actually able to protect itself using such a method.

Hong Dali and the rest immediately swam toward the bottom of the lake whose depth was unknown. They soon reached the root portion of the Bright Moon Air Concentrating Grass and stretched out their hands toward it.

Sure enough, when Hong Dali’s hand swept out, he immediately caught a small grass about one finger’s width thick.

Hong Dali felt upward along the grass’s stalk and soon felt a small circular fruit. With a gentle tug, the huge illusion of the Bright Moon Air Concentrating Grass immediately disappeared. Hong Dali looked down and there was a little blue fruit, about the size of a thumb, in his hand. Glowing with a faint blue light, it was crystal clear and beautiful.

Everyone looked at each other. Hong Dali nodded, and the few of them ate the fruit without hesitation.

Even Acka ate one.

They swallowed the fruit of the Bright Moon Air Concentrating Grass.

Instantly, they felt their bodies relax. A surge of warmth radiated from their core and galloped away with the waves. All 2 million pores on their skin were overjoyed, exhaling and inhaling.

At the same time, the System’s voice said—

“There is no effect when the host eats the Bright Moon Air Concentrating Grass’s fruit, but the lackeys get an upgrade.”

Eh? There’s no effect when I eat the fruit, but the lackeys get an upgrade when they eat it? So mystical?

The System explained. “An ordinary person can only gain the ability to breathe underwater when they eat the Bright Moon Air Concentrating Grass’s fruit. However, as the lackeys of a prodigal, they need more power to protect the prodigal, thus the upgrade.”

“The ability to breathe underwater can be used. At the same time, the pores all over them are able to slowly absorb the universe’s dark energy to strengthen their bodies.”

Damn! This upgrade was powerful!

Hong Dali’s eyes opened wide in awe.

Absorb the universe’s dark energy. This was a practically invincible ability, okay?

While practicing Secrets of Dark Energy, a person could only absorb dark energy to strengthen his body after he had increased all his attributes to 1,000. However, they could start absorbing dark energy right away with their current attributes. This way the threshold of the Stellar-Level would not exist for them at all!

Why was it hard to become a Stellar-Level? Because the threshold was too high!

All attributes had to be 1,000. People gave their all to raise their attributes to 700 or 800 and then the attributes finally got too hard to add. For example, a Black-Level Honorary Aristocrat with all attributes at 500 would be able to practice Secrets of Dark Energy. He eats some natural herbs and uses equipment that adds attributes, but hits a bottleneck at 800 plus points. They probably needed a lot of manpower, material, and financial resources to push up the final 200 attribute points.

Why was it so much harder to become a Stellar-Level then a Planet-Level? It was because resources were scarce.

But things were different now. They were able to absorb dark energy before attaining Stellar-Level. The rate at which their attributes increased…

In particular, Hong Dali’s lackeys also had the Lackey Halo which doubled all their attributes—this was practically in defiance of the natural order, okay?!

Levis and the others were ecstatic.

At this moment, the Black Flood Dragon next to him whistled and said, “Haha, look at how relaxed my brothers are in the water. I guess Bright Moon Air Concentrating Grass must have taken effect. Congratulations, brothers.”

Hong Dali grinned. “Thank you, Brother Wuwei.”

“Brothers.” The Black Flood Dragon nodded its huge head and suddenly said, “I can’t wait, I feel the changes happening in me already. I will let you, my brothers, witness the moment when I evolve into a Green Dragon!”

“Brother, you…” Hong Dali rejoiced. He quickly asked, “You can evolve into a Dragon now?”

The Black Flood Dragon laughed and said, “After listening to your advice earlier, I feel enlightened. Now I feel my body undergoing drastic changes, this should be it. Hehe, my Brothers managed to eat the Bright Moon Air Concentrating Grass which was able to transform its appearance and I am about to evolve into a Dragon. This is really double happiness, double happiness, haha!”

Hong Dali said with a smile, “It’s also a joy to be able to become Brother Wuwei’s brothers from a different tribe. It’s triple happiness.”

The Black Flood Dragon laughed and stirred up a huge whirlpool at the bottom of the lake, but sent out a tendril of his essential vitality to protect Hong Dali. He said, “In that case, I’m going to begin!”

Hong Dali was naturally very happy. Just as he was about to speak, Levis murmured suddenly. “Transform appearance… transform appearance…”

Saying that Levis suddenly remembered the words written in the Fourth-level of the Secrets of Dark Energy, Sense of Energy.

“To look at flowers in the fog, to look at the moon in the water, the dark energy flows through you smoothly, Sense of Energy successful!”

“To look at flowers in the fog… to look at the moon in the water…” Levis muttered then suddenly laughed happily and said, “Haha, Young Master, Brother Wuwei, it seems I have another surprise for you!”

The Black Flood Dragon, who was about to evolve, suddenly stopped and asked curiously, “What surprise does my brother have for me?”

Hong Dali asked, “Brother Levis, are you going to make a breakthrough and level up?”

“I should be,” Levis said, smiling and making a fist and palm salute to the Black Flood Dragon. “Thank you, Brother Wuwei, for enlightening me. There was something I didn’t understand before while training, but now I have figured it out.”

The Black Flood Dragon did not quite understand what he said, but it knew that he must have accomplished something. It was immediately overjoyed and said, “Hahaha, Brothers, you really are geniuses. Congratulations, my brother!”

The few people and one Black Flood Dragon looked at each other, then started laughing ecstatically, like a group of children who just got their favorite toys. Hong Dali even ran out of breath laughing. He said, “Brother Wuwei, are you ready?”

The Black Flood Dragon swam joyously in the water. It nodded vehemently and laughed. “I’ve been ready for a while.”

“Brother Levis, what about you?” Hong Dali looked at Levis again.

“Same, same!” Levis laughed.

“In that case, begin!”

With a loud cheer, Levis closed his eyes and retreated deep into his thoughts.

To look at flowers in the fog, to look at the moon in the water.

Transformed appearance.

There seemed to be no connection between the three on the surface, but in actuality, they were closely connected.

To look at flowers in the fog, to gauge ability by performance, this was the truth.

To look at the moon in the water, to gauge ability by one’s looks, this was the illusion.

Transformed appearance, to hide the truth within an illusion, an illusion within the truth.

Truth and illusion.

Hard to decipher what is real and what is an illusion.

What is real and what is an illusion, hand in hand.

The Dark Energy in the universe flowed, sometimes real, sometimes illusionary, unimpeded.

Slowly entered all the cells in the body.

Two million pores on the body, exhaling and inhaling.

Ebb and flow.

Exhale for out, inhale for in.

The speed between breaths sped up, the dark energy entered and exited. It instantly flowed through the entire body, an energy that could not be rejected or guarded against by the non-physical self. This surge of dark energy could have blasted Levis into powder without leaving a single trace.

But Levis controlled the incredibly powerful dark energy and, working together like a thousand creeks and a hundred rivers feeding the seas, the cells in his body absorbed as much of it as it could, smoothly directing the flow.

All rivers ran into the sea, accumulation yields greatness.

It flowed through all the cells in the body, and finally exited through the pores on the body and merged with the waters of this 300-km-long Ze An Lake.

Virtual, for circulation. Reality, for absorption.

Between the illusion and reality, the mighty dark energy coursed through his body.

His dark energy control was now even more precise.

On the other hand, the huge body of the Black Flood Dragon was rapidly shrinking.

1,000 meters Black Flood Dragon!

500 meters Flood Dragon!

100 meters Green Dragon!

The huge skull, which was almost 20 meters in diameter at first, was now only about 3 meters square. A crystal clear white horn jutted straight out from its forehead, pointing forward, and a pair of jade-like antlers curved majestically to the rear. The originally crafty face had also become majestic. Two long dragon whiskers conveyed a feeling of quiet and inner peace.

The inky scales which covered its body had become dark green, and its abdomen was covered with pearly white scales. It had six legs, four in front and two at the back. The upper torso was covered in creamy white feathers and a pearly white dorsal fin ran down its back. Its dragon tail was in four parts of different lengths tipped by long golden feathers. It was a sight to behold.

It could be visible or invisible, it could be small or huge, short or long. The spring equinox ascends the heavens, the autumn equinox descends into ground. Absolute power over the weather, omnipotent. This was a Dragon.

The Black Flood Dragon kept Hong Dali’s words in its mind. He maintained the purity and goodness in his heart all the way and finally completely broke through the bottleneck, becoming what he was now. A real Dragon, bringing goodness to all in the world, adept at transformation, able to control the weather!

Encountered the storm and evolved into a dragon.

The Real Dragon was born!

Green Dragon!

The Water within the Five Elements.

A godly creature!
