Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal

Panda Novel

After the whole cave was lit-up, they could finally see the place properly.

This dome-shaped metal fortress looked like half of a ball, and according to the researcher’s observation and calculation, below it was another half. Which means to say that it was really just in the shape of a ball which half was buried in the ground.

As for the underground cave itself, it was also shaped like half of a ball too, just that it was much bigger.

Using an image to describe this, it was like a hardboiled egg—the underground cave was the egg white while the fortress was the egg yolk…

“Found it!” Very quickly, a researcher shouted, “There are words here!”

“Where, where is it!?” Hearing that words were found, it was only possible that it was left behind by the owner of the fortress. Everyone hurriedly gathered around the person who found it and lifted their heads. At a part of the cave wall that was ten meters high, words the size of a fist were engraved on the solid wall. It was a puzzle how the owner of the fortress actually managed to do such a thing…

“Brother Deca, what words are that?” Hong Dali asked, “They look quite similar to the Chinese characters, but I don’t recognize a single one of them…”

“Wait, let me take a look.” Deca looked at the words for a while, nodded and said, “It’s the Universal language, let me read it to you.”

Then, he started reading—

“My name is Mo Tianji, I am a high-rank Galaxy Warrior from the noble Beta Planet. At the same time, I am also the overall champion of the 118th division Solo Mecha competition in East Milky Way.

“I have been dominating in the East Milky Way for my whole life, been through thousands of battles and never lost before.

“In my final battle, my opponent was the number one warrior in Central Milky Way, Duan Xuan. We battled on top of Mount Taiyi for three days and three nights, but I lost to him by half a move in the end.

“I have been conceited for my whole life and never admired anyone before. But I must admit that I admire his magnanimousness and breadth of mind. As for how high our martial arts are, that’s not important, it was never on our minds before. After the battle, I deeply feel that I was living like a frog in a well. If this continues, my path of training in the martial arts will hardly make any more progress, so I left the competition and traveled throughout the Milky Way.

“Unfortunately, I was unlucky and met with the Zerg army during my travels. After a fierce battle, the Zerg army destroyed the space oscillation system in the Thunder Angel, and in the end, I ended up here.

“To think that I have been living in glory and fame for my entire life, but in the end, I could only live through my final years here in lonely bitterness, how pathetic and sad is that!

“After the battle with Duan Xuan, I knew that I was far from being invincible in my martial arts, but also definitely not just average. Fearing that if I pass away like this, there wouldn’t be anyone to inherit my martial arts, that would be a pity. Therefore, I went out of the mountains to search for a successor, at the same time leaving behind my inheritance in four places on this Planet. This includes the Immium alloy, Five Element Wheel, Thunder Angel, and this Venerable Mecha.

“If someone is able to find this place and recognize these words, he shall be the fated one to inherit the things here. I hope he can use my teachings and win fame and glory with it again.

“Also, only a person who is able to use the martial art ‘Earth-Shattering and Sky Shocking Fist’ should operate the Venerable Mecha. If not, he wouldn’t be able to even use 1/10,000 of the power of the mecha. Remember this!”

This was a large piece of information.

After Deca finished reading everything on the wall, he took in a deep breath and then looked at Hong Dali. “Dali, simply speaking, you have really obtained a treasure this time. And a large treasure at that!”

“Yup.” Hong Dali wasn’t surprised at all. “Speaking of which, my luck seems to be quite good—what treasure did I obtain?”

The Bureau Chief hurriedly focused on recording all of this down. This rascal Hong Dali is always very carefree and leisure, I have to help him remember all of this. If not, he will definitely forget about it…

“If I am not wrong.” Deca touched the words on the wall. “This Mo Tianji should be that most legendary person in the Milky Way Virtual Mecha Combat Competition.

“Mo Tianji is his real name, but not many people know of this name. He has a nickname that all of the mecha combat enthusiasts in the East Milky Way know of.

“He is called Invincible East!

“He was born into a family of Galaxy Warriors, and his father was skilled in all kinds of close combat techniques. Yup, simply speaking, those martial arts manuals and techniques that are sold for a high price in the Galaxy Virtual Network are from his family.”

Hearing Deca say this, everyone was astonished.

Doesn’t that mean that those martial art manuals that could be exchanged for tens of live planets are all from this Mo Tianji’s family!?

Deca continued, “Mo Tianji liked to fight since he was young, especially favoring the more vicious moves. In the Galaxy Virtual Network, he was the overall winner for the mecha competition in the 118th division for an entire 36 times. He went through thousands of battles, big and small, and never lost a single one. Of those battles, for 862 of them, he defeated his opponents with a single move. Because of his prowess, for the future competitions, the audiences weren’t concerned with who the overall winner was anymore, instead only caring of who the runner up was. From this, you can tell how strong he is.”

Speaking up to this point, Deca paused for a while before he sighed and said, “Maybe you guys will think that the 118th division competition is only a small competition, but that isn’t the case!

“The whole Milky Way Galaxy is split into five small alliances—North, South, East, West, and Central Alliance. There are over 200,000 plus live planets in the entire Milky Way, and on average, each smaller alliance has 40,000 plus planets.

“In the East Milky Way, there are a total of 128 divisions. Although that looks like a lot, it’s widely recognized by everyone that Mo Tianji is the strongest warrior in the entire East Milky Way!

“He was only being modest when he said that he’s the strongest in the 118th division. In reality, he lost by only half a move to the strongest warrior in Central Milky Way, Duan Xuan, in his entire life!”

Everyone took in a deep breath.

Thirty-six times champion for the competition at East Milky Way, and even made the audiences lose interest in who the champion would be! How impressive was that!

“Although he preferred calling himself combat enthusiast, his opponents all called him Invincible East, and even created a phrase for him, called ‘The Sun comes out from the East, only I am undefeatable!’ In the end, he accepted this and changed his name to Invincible East! In the 36 years that he entered the competition, that was the darkest era in the history of mecha combat, because his attack power is the strongest in the last thousand years of history!

“Sadly, he disappeared after his battle with Duan Xuan. The East Milky Way combat enthusiasts all thought that Duan Xuan secretly killed him or something, but no one could imagine that the truth is that he encountered a Zerg army…”

After he introduced Invincible East to them, Deca took in a deep breath.

Towards such a hero meeting his demise in such a lowly-civilized planet, Deca could only sigh at his fate.

“This Mo Tianji sounds really impressive.” Although Hong Dali was a prodigal, he still felt respect for such a hero-like character. He sniffled, turned around and said to Ling Xiaoyi, “Yup, when we are able to go inside, make a cenotaph for him. But I am not his descendant, so I am not going to kowtow to him…”

“Okay, Young Master.” Ling Xiaoyi was quite supportive of this and hurriedly wrote this down. “We will definitely use the best materials.”

“Speaking of which.” Hong Dali thought for a while and said, “This Invincible East left quite a lot of inheritance behind. Yup, on the cenotaph, just write ‘descendant Hong Dali the prodigal pays his respects’.”

He even wanted to write that he was a prodigal on a cenotaph…

But this was Hong Dali’s style, so no one complained…

“Deca.” The Bureau Chief carefully pondered for a while and suddenly asked, “You said that this Invincible East met the Zerg army in the Universe? What is that about?”

This is an important matter. It looks like other than humans, there are other intelligent beings in the Universe?

“The Zerg race has always been the humans’ enemy.” Hearing the Bureau Chief ask this, Deca hurriedly explained, “In fact, they are the enemies of all other living creatures. In the Universe, the Zerg represents destruction. They normally drift around in the Universe, and if they encounter a planet that has living creatures on it, they will descend onto the planet. Then, within a few days, they will eat everything alive on the planet and then continue to drift around.

“Normally, in the Universe, they are all gathered in the brood. The appearance of this brood is similar to that of a small planet, but it’s not visible from the outside. Only through life scanners and devices can they be discovered. Of course.” Speaking up to this point, Deca shivered and said, “By the time that it is detected, it’s normally too late. Because that would mean that the brood is already close to you.”

Hearing this, everyone sucked in a deep breath.

It looked like even if Deca and his fleet didn’t attack Earth, that didn’t mean that Earth was safe in the Universe… This Zerg race could actually eat all of the living things in an entire planet. God!

“Alright, I don’t think we need to worry too much about this.” Seeing their expressions, the Bureau Chief hurriedly changed the topic. “Then, tell us something else.” The Bureau Chief pointed at the metal fortress. “Is this thing the core of the Thunder Angel? As for that Venerable Mecha, it should be inside this core, right?”

“Probably.” Deca nodded and said, “According to its size, that should be the case. Of course, to know what it’s really like, we will have to really go in and see.”

This is actually the core to activate the Thunder Angel! God, how are we supposed to haul such a large object?

Of course, that isn’t important. What’s important is that this thing is very valuable—that’s all that matters, right?
