Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal

Chapter 1286: Eyes

Soon, the rain and wind stopped. Everything was peaceful.

Hong Dali laid next to the Goddess of Wisdom. At this moment, he was feeling strange.

He couldn’t put his finger on his exact mood. Perhaps it was excitement. After all, the one who had taken over his body was one of the highest level Gods in the entire universe. He never dreamed such a thing would happen to him one day.

Truth being said, he was a little depressed. Actually, it was more than a little. It was a lot. After all, everything that happened was not his intention. He was just a kind child and he did not willingly force himself on the Goddess—however, he was not very much against everything that happened either. If it were not for the accidental development of things, he would probably be a vegetable now.

All in all, Hong Dali got the better end of the deal—after all, not everyone got to kiss a beautiful goddess...

The real problem now was the Goddess of Wisdom’s expression at this point in time.

He couldn’t be sure what her expression meant. She was calm, calmer than Hong Dali expected.

Actually, Hong Dali knew that the Goddess of Wisdom wanted very much to kill himself now. The problem was that she was unable to—the last thing the God of the Underworld did was to use his divinity to completely destroy the Goddess of Wisdom’s power.

That meant, the Goddess of Wisdom now only had the power of a Planet-level warrior.

From being a goddess to becoming a woman, this huge change made it impossible for the two to come to terms with it in a short time—if this matter was made known to others, it would certainly shock them. They would gape so widely their jaws would hit the ground.

“To be honest, I didn’t expect things to become like this.” Hong Dali lay on the ground in the space-time anomaly, looking up at the turbulence of roaring above his head. He murmured, “You wanted to turn me into an idiot, but you didn’t succeed. Now that we’re in this situation, I don’t know if I should console you. If I console you, I would really be an idiot. If I don’t console you, that would make me... that. So you...”

“Stop talking.” The Goddess of Wisdom sat up and smoothed her clothes. Being able to move again, her eyes could now also open because her divinity had been completely imprisoned.

They were extremely beautiful eyes. The same black as Hong Dali, dark and unfathomable as the starry universe. They were also deeply soulful. If the Goddess of Wisdom was flawless before, with her eyes open, she was perfect.

If one looked too long at her eyes, his soul would be drawn away by them.

“You can open your eyes? Your eyes are so beautiful!” Hong Dali exclaimed. After finally seeing the Goddess of Wisdom with her eyes open, Hong Dali felt for a moment that perhaps the God of the Underworld did something good. The Goddess of Wisdom was indeed a stunner that could captivate any man. The premise was that she did not have her goddess powers.

“Don’t talk to me, think about how we can survive first.” The Goddess of Wisdom did not answer Hong Dali’s question. Her attitude was unusually calm. She neither killed Hong Dali as soon as she could move nor was there any sorrow.

This made Hong Dali feel even more uneasy—women acting unexpectedly calm after a major change in their life were extra scary.

As expected, things did not surprise him, because he had heard the rest of the words uttered by the Goddess of Wisdom. “My power is gone, this space-time anomaly will not be able to sustain itself for long and will soon completely collapse. I don’t know where we will appear after the collapse. If we’re lucky, we will appear on an inhabited planet. If we’re unlucky, we will appear in the core of a star and die immediately.”

The Goddess of Wisdom’s words made Hong Dali shiver.

If the space-time anomaly collapsed, the consequences would be unimaginable.

However, at this time, the power of the Goddess of Wisdom had been sealed, and Hong Dali was not as powerful as she was. So, the result was obvious.

“Crackle—” The time-space anomaly began to crack. Like cracking glass, it emitted a crackling sound. The sky above began to distort and the ground cracked.

Seeing that the entire space was about to collapse completely, Hong Dali no longer had time to consider his actions. His body burst into a golden light, transforming into the Star Knight plus Second Gear. Then, he pulled the Goddess of Wisdom into his embrace. A rumbling sound was heard and then the space-time anomaly created by the Goddess of Wisdom completely collapsed...

...

On Prison Star.

The people of the Hong family all sat together. Hong Weiguo and Lan Ruoxi were back to back. They looked up at the sky above their heads and took a deep breath.

Hong Weiguo took out a cigar, stuck it in his mouth, and muttered, “Ruoxi, do you think our Dali will be able to pull through? The opponent is the Goddess of Wisdom, one of the highest leveled gods in the universe...”

“I hope so.” Lan Ruoxi’s eyes shimmered with tears and her tone was unsure. “Dali is quite strong. But this time, his opponent is too strong. If he’s gone, then I... I also...”

“Trust him.” Hong Weiguo smiled bitterly. “I’m his father. Like any father, my greatest hope in this life is to be the best support for Dali. Unfortunately, this child is growing too fast. I can’t keep up with him. Haha...”

“You have done well enough.” Lan Ruoxi turned around, hugged him gently, and said, “My man must be able to carry the earth on his shoulders. My son won’t fall down easily. It’s just the Goddess of Wisdom, isn’t it? With our Dali’s intelligence, ability, and luck, he’ll definitely be fine. Didn’t Mr. Tang Zhen say that something must have changed inside? Otherwise, the Goddess of Wisdom would not have called for reinforcement.”

“Hope so, hehe.” Hong Weiguo nodded and suddenly asked, “Ruoxi, then, is there anything we can do to help Dali? I don’t want him to have to worry about anything when he returns.”

“Let’s lay a good foundation for what comes after.” Lan Ruoxi kissed him softly. “This will be our task, it must be done well.”

On the other side, Tang Muxin looked at Tang Zhen, her small face full of worry. She asked in a small voice, “Mr. Tang Zhen, do you think Dali is... is alright now? When will he come back?”

“Well, This Tang cannot say for sure either.” Tang Zhen shook his head and helplessly said, “After all, the other party is the Goddess of Wisdom. Even if the Devil really stands on the side of Brother Hong, victory will not come easy. But I believe with Brother Hong’s intelligence, he should have no problem with self-preservation. As for when he will return, we can only wait and see...”

“Sister Xiaoyi,” Li Yang looked at Ling Xiaoyi with a worried expression on his face. He said miserably, “Will Young Master be able to overcome the dangers this time? Young Master is such a good man. If something really happens to him...”

“Relax, Young Master has exceptional luck. Nothing bad will happen.” Ling Xiaoyi didn’t know what to say. In the end, she could only comfort him with those words. However, she was not so confident.

As for Li Nianwei, she sat quietly in a corner and just kept praying for Hong Dali, praying that he would return safely.

...

Everyone on Prison Star was worried about Hong Dali. Our prodigal son Hong Dali was not dead!

“Where am I?” After being in a coma for an indeterminable length of time, Hong Dali finally woke up. “It seems to be a nice place. I should still be alive...”
