Rebirth Of The Godly Prodigal

"That"s right." The Old Elder nodded and said, "Originally, we won"t have to worry even if he doesn"t want to make the climb. However, there"s only one week left before people from that side come to visit. I know that there"s another Chosen One on the other side. If Hong Dali is discovered by him then, he won"t be a match for him in his current condition."

"That"s right." The Second Elder agreed and continued, "Chosen Ones always fight the moment they meet. Furthermore, as they all possess unique abilities given by the Dimension Master, they will discover each other"s presence once they"re within a certain distance from each other. There"ll be no hiding then. We didn"t know this before, but if Hong Dali really gets murdered by that side"s Chosen One…"

"That"ll be huge trouble!" The Third Elder nodded and said, "Chosen Ones are different from us ordinary humans. Our abilities are all traceable, be it talents or items or other wild encounters, they always come from somewhere. It"s different for the Chosen Ones. For instance, abilities like Hong Dali"s Second Gear. Most Chosen Ones will possess similar abilities. Dali has no advantage compared to them!"

The compet.i.tion amongst the Chosen Ones for the position of the Dimension Master was especially intense.

Things were still fine here, as this was their turf, after all. However, the Battle of the Chosen Ones that only occurred once every 10,000 years was the real crucible and battlefield. Chosen Ones from 1,000 Astrals would be sent there to fight until the last man was left standing. The survivors from the first round would rest and recuperate for ten years before fighting the others again.

By then, no matter how lucky Hong Dali was, if he still did not train to strengthen himself, he would probably have a tragic ending.

"Dali is obviously shocked by the news. It doesn"t seem like the best time to pile all this information on him now, as that will only increase the pressure he feels. Let"s think of a way to send him away for a while in the next few days." Fergos touched his chin and decided. "At the minimum, he can"t meet that group of people next week. As for the Astral Combat Compet.i.tion in six months, I believe Dali will have figured it out then…"

"That"s the only way." The three Elders looked at one another and nodded at the same time. "Dean, we can only rely on you to convince Hong Dali."

"I"ll try my best." Fergos nodded.

…

On Hong Dali"s side, he was feeling a little confused as he walked inside the Divine College.

I"m fine with my own System. I"m used to it, after all. However, I suddenly became what Chosen One? Seems like I have to go fight with the other Chosen Ones, or face my death. Why? My System is the Great Prodigal System! Prodigal! Do prodigals need to go fight others on a battlefield?

My System is indeed pretty magical, but there"s no link between this and that!

You give me a Great Prodigal System and ask me to risk my life? That doesn"t make any sense. The System has never given me any warnings either. My system isn"t the combat type, alright?

Actually, it was no wonder Hong Dali felt so depressed.

It was as if everyone else were given Kevlar and submachine guns for a battle while Hong Dali only received suits and dollars…

Fight what?! How to fight?! Use dollar bills as my ammo?

Just as Hong Dali was feeling depressed, he suddenly heard the System"s voice. Things were different this time!

System—

"Host has obtained information about the Chosen One. a.n.a.lyzing the Host"s status. Please wait…"

Eh? What"s going on? Maybe the System knows I"m about to fight and is giving me some abilities? Explosive abilities? Super Saiyan? Superman system? Hulk? Tesseract? Transformer?

Soon, Hong Dali realized that he was thinking too much, way too much…

System: "Host status a.n.a.lysis completed. Host"s current condition: Strength: 100, Agility: 100, Reflexes: 100, Health: 100, s.e.xual capability: 100. Cla.s.sification of Host based on base attributes: Non-combat personnel. Unsuitable for Chosen One. System is initiating the upgrade. Please wait…"

What the heck. What the heck?! What does that mean? I"m not suitable for the Chosen One? Do you mean that I"m just a piece of trash waiting to die? I have wives. Several of them! You can"t play me like that!

Hong Dali was depressed.

There was too much information today. I just became part of the Shenglong Royal Family. Then, within the blink of an eye, I"ve become a Chosen One. In another instant, I will need to go risk my life on a battlefield!

Hong Dali was not afraid of fighting ordinary people. After all, he had plenty of life-saving ultimate moves now to go up against any normal warrior.

However, the Chosen Ones were different—basically, all Chosen Ones had their own personal Systems! How would you know what their systems were like?

Normal martial arts Systems that would provide training manuals were still fine. What if there were stronger bloodline Systems that allowed the Host to transform into Superman? What if they allowed the Hosts to become Super Saiyans? How would he fight them then?!

Hong Dali was not trying to build others up and bring himself down. n.o.body knew what kind of weird Systems the Dimension Master created.

Luckily, the System finished its upgrade quickly. Once Hong Dali understood what the System said this time, he was completely shocked!

He first listened quietly to the System"s voice. Then, he was elated. Finally, he jumped up in joy!

"Wahahahahahaha! Looks like my luck is indeed decent. Hahahahaha! I am invincible!"

No wonder Hong Dali was so happy. The System treated him so well!

System: "System upgrade completed. As the Host"s current conditions are not suitable for battles, side branches have been opened: Hard Work Mode, Enjoyment Mode."

"Hard Work Mode: Everyone wants to become better. Hard Work Mode will grant the Host access to more combat attributes and combat abilities. However, once Hard Work Mode is selected, the Host must attend the Battle of the Chosen Ones. It is a battle to the death. The winner will become the Dimension Master. The losers will die."

"Enjoyment Mode: As the Host"s previous completed missions are all non-combat enhancement missions, Enjoyment Mode has been unlocked. If Enjoyment Mode is selected, the Host will not be detected by the systems of other Chosen Ones unless the Host actively engages in battle. Enjoyment Mode will select an Enjoyment Dimension for the Host. Once the Host enters the Enjoyment Dimension, all abilities will be removed. They will be converted into a ma.s.sive amount of cash for enjoyment. Once the Host returns to the current dimension, his abilities will return. No changes will occur."

Two choices. If it was anyone else, they would probably be caught in a dilemma. They would hesitate between continuing to strengthen themselves and happily remaining a prodigal. However, there was absolutely no issue for Hong Dali!

He had no ambitions. He simply wished to happily live with his wives, his family, and friends.

As for things like becoming the Dimension Master, they held no value to Hong Dali!

"Enjoyment Mode. I choose Enjoyment Mode!" Hong Dali chose Enjoyment Mode without any hesitation. "This is it. Hehe, what crude battles? What Chosen One battlefield? What does all that have to do with me?"

System: "Host has chosen Enjoyment Mode. Entering the adjustment phase. Please wait…"

The adjustment began just like that. I wonder what the adjustments will be like. Anyways, I"m not afraid of it, it won"t really be a problem.

The System soon finished its adjustments. Hong Dali finally knew what this Enjoyment Mode was about…

System: "Enjoyment Mode adjustments completed. The Host has to spend ten attribute points to summon the Dimension Door. Once the Host enters, he will only retain his base attributes. All other abilities will disappear."

"The host will receive Achievement Points for all side missions completed in the Enjoyment Dimension. Achievement Points can be converted into this Dimension"s various abilities."

"Cooldown time for the Enjoyment Dimension is twenty-four hours. The Host can only stay in the dimension for twenty-four hours at maximum in one trip. If the Host chooses not to return to this dimension after twenty-four hours, the Dimension Door will be closed permanently and the Host will be obliterated."

"Enjoyment Dimension is a low-technology dimension. No high-tech equipment from this dimension is allowed to be brought into the Enjoyment Dimension. Otherwise, the Host will be obliterated."

"The Host can bring a maximum of fifteen people into the Enjoyment Dimension at any one time. Special reminder: The people brought along can retain part of their original strength. However, they will only be 30% more powerful than ordinary people. In addition, no technological items, equipment, and weapons from this dimension can be brought in."

"Do not influence any policies in the Enjoyment Dimension. Otherwise, the Host will be obliterated."

Soon, the System finished its introduction about all the warnings and precautions. Hong Dali was so comfortable now—I love this Enjoyment Mode. Wahahahaha, I love to enjoy things. As for killing and fighting, to h.e.l.l with that!

Ding. A new option appeared on Hong Dali"s System interface—Dimension Door.

"Hm…" Hong Dali inhaled deeply. What will this Enjoyment Dimension be like? Maybe I should check it out now?

Hm, people"s plans were usually in conflict with reality. Just as Hong Dali was planning his trip, he suddenly heard a hoa.r.s.e female voice. "Eh, you didn"t fall to your death? Not bad. It"s noon. Let"s eat together."

Hong Dali turned around. Who else could that be apart from Gu Feifei?

Gu Feifei was indeed a mysterious figure. Her strength was way above Hong Dali"s expectations—after all, Bei Yuanqing was someone only a little weaker than his Star Knight in Second Gear. Yet, he had no chance against Gu Feifei.

Why was that so?

Hong Dali was extremely curious. Now that Gu Feifei invited him to lunch, he had to agree. "Sure, sure. Where should we go? It"s my treat."

"Follow me." Gu Feifei turned around and led Hong Dali out.
