Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal

Panda Novel

Hong Dali wanted to squander his wealth, but a problem arose. He was stuck in the light beam and could not escape! If he could not go out, there was no way he could squander any wealth! However, his Health points were going down at the rate of one point per hour!

He only had a hundred Health points. Previously, he was careful and saved up an additional ten attribute points. In other words, he could hypothetically endure a maximum of a hundred and ten hours. After that, he would be a dead man!

Damn!

As Hong Dali thought about it, some strange information entered his head and began fusion with him!

It was a very weak consciousness. Its sentences were fragmented but accompanied by an overwhelming amount of murderous aura.

“This is…” Hong Dali was stunned. The consciousness was not full. It was fragmented. However, Hong Dali felt a strange but enduring sensation from the consciousness.

“You are…” Hong Dali exclaimed.

Boom!

Just as he said that a loud noise erupted in his head. His consciousness then entered a place full of chaos.

It was a surreal chaotic dimension filled with blood mist. In the center of the blood mist stood a flickering, looming shadow figure.

The shadow seemed weak as if a gust of wind could knock it down. When Hong Dali got closer though, he was stunned by the appearance of the shadow.

That was… himself?!

“I am… Hong Dali…” The shadow’s voice was muffled and fragmented. “Are you… Hong Dali too…”

“That’s me, you are…” By then, Hong Dali understood everything. “Are you the original owner of the body?”

“Yes… it’s me…” The shadow was blood red from head to toe. It stumbled and smiled at Hong Dali. “It makes me… really happy… to meet you… I… I was always weak… I thought that… I would never be able to… give back to my parents… but… you are here now… I’m glad…”

“I…” Hong Dali rushed forward and held the shadow. “I’m really sorry, I didn’t mean for things to be this way. I… I didn’t want to take your body…”

“No… don’t say sorry…” The shadow hugged Dali and murmured, “I should be the one… saying thank you…

“I couldn’t bear to… leave this world without my parents… even though I was weak, I… I didn’t want to leave them… even though they called me trash… still… I just wanted to stay by my parents’ side… that’s all… but even that wish… couldn’t be fulfilled… I… I was lost… until you showed up…

“I’m so glad… that you were… able to come… my body got healthier, I could… slowly rest. Finally, I could… regain some consciousness…

“Still… it was not enough… my consciousness is too weak. To be able to see you… is my limit…”

“You can do it, you definitely can do it!” Hong Dali hugged the shadow tightly and said, “Your parents are still fine! Don’t you want to see them with your own eyes? I can give you the body back! I don’t belong in this world, I never belonged in this world!”

“That’s… not important anymore…” The shadow said with a smile. “You respect my parents. I knew… all about that… you’re good, very good… I’m glad that someone as pure as you is staying in my body now…

“I’ll rest easy, knowing that you are here…”

“You got it! You can trust me!” Hong Dali yelled, “I will take care of your parents, don’t worry!”

“Yes, I know.” The shadow showed a satisfied smile. His body began to fade. “I’m content knowing that you will take care of my parents. The Heavens are good… to me…”

“No! Don’t disappear! Hang on, you need to hang on!” Hong Dali yelled at the top of his lungs. “Don’t disappear! Don’t disappear!”

“Heh heh, you are… a good person…” The shadow smiled and said, “The murderous aura here… is strong… but you don’t need to be afraid… I’m a goner so… let me help you… absorb the aura… you are a good person, you can’t… can’t be distracted by the murderous aura here…”

The shadow’s body turned a darker shade of blood red, his facial features began to blur as well.

These were symptoms of him absorbing the murderous aura. He was being assimilated by the Emperor Beetle’s giant murderous aura.

Once he absorbed all of the murderous aura, he would fully die and leave this world.

Two Hong Dalis, two equally kind-hearted people.

And now, one of them was going to disappear.

“System!” Hong Dali yelled, “System, save him, save him! Don’t let him die!”

“I.. am really… a failure…” The shadow mumbled, “Take care of my parents… Xinxin is a good… girl, it was my fault for being too weak… that she always despised me.”

“Can you not mention Xinxin at this point?” Hong Dali shouted, “I know she is good! But you’re the one who’s not good! If you keep this up you will fade away!”

“I’m not… afraid…” The shadow said quietly, “I… got to see you treat those around me well… I… am content…”

“This world… is so beautiful… so many pretty animals… so many scenic views… colorful plants… they are all lives… all adorable… you… must not… be affected… by the murderous aura…”

“I know, I know!” Tears streamed down Hong Dali’s face. “Just hang on, you must hang on!”

At this time, the shadow’s face became increasingly blurry, almost disappearing.

Luckily, the System’s voice suddenly sounded!

“Host soul and original body owner’s soul synchronization has reached a hundred percent! Beginning fusion!”

Fusion?! Oh my god, I can fuse with the original body owner’s soul? That’s amazing! Such a kind soul, how can he possibly disappear? How?!

The System continued—

“Soul fusion has begun, the Great Prodigal System is upgrading, please wait…”

The blood-red shadow in Hong Dali’s embrace, the original owner of the body, began to fade and fuse into Hong Dali’s own body.

At the same time, countless memories appeared in his brain.

“Daddy, mommy, look! That butterfly is so beautiful…”

“Daddy, why can’t I run? All the other kids can run for fun, but I find it hard to even walk, sob sob sob…”

“Mommy, am I sick with something? I can’t lift anything up, I’m so tired every day…”

“Daddy, mommy, you don’t have to carry me all the time, I can walk, I can still walk by myself…”

“Mommy, I bought you ice cream and spent five hundred yuan. They all said that I am a prodigal son, but I think that only an expensive gift can show how much mommy means to me…”

“Daddy, I threw my phone again today. They called me a useless piece of trash who is good at nothing. I was so angry that I threw my phone. They were all so scared! Humph, humph, like father like son, if they call me trash, isn’t that calling you and mommy trash too? So I spent thirty thousand yuan and found someone to give them a beating! Ah, of course, it was just to intimidate them, they didn’t actually hit them! After all, health is something to be cherished. You shouldn’t hurt others, right…?”

“Mommy, I spent all my money! Ah, it wasn’t much, actually. There was a little puppy and it was such a poor thing. It was limping and struggled more than I did. I took pity and thought, my body can’t be cured, but its body can! So I spent fifty thousand yuan and found someone to help me take care of it. That guy was so happy, he must like puppies too, right?”

“Ah, you call me a prodigal son? So be it, as long as my parents don’t have to worry about me, I’m okay with anything, hee hee…”

Countless memories appeared in his brain. Hong Dali stood still as tears streamed down his face.

Family, the original owner’s childhood memories, each scene represented deep-rooted familial ties. They merged completely together with Hong Dali’s own memories.

Hong Dali was still that Hong Dali. However, he now possessed one more thing.

The one thing that he had always been dreaming about.

Family.

His heart was warm.

Hong Weiguo, Lan Ruoxi. Hong Dali did indeed view them as his birth parents, but after all, he was missing something very crucial.

Childhood memories.

Without that, he was always missing something in his heart.

Now, everything was different.

Hong Dali felt that the whole world had changed now that he possessed all his childhood memories.

His own childhood in the orphanage only included one old lady who took care of him. Everything else was simple repetition. There were no activities. Everything was done to ensure survival…

The fusion had completed, and the System’s voice was heard.

“Fusion success, original memories merged, temperaments suitable. Host’s current condition: well, no signs of discomfort.”

Phew, the fusion worked. I am now a happy kid with his own parents, wahahahahaha!

What the System said next made Hong Dali depressed again.

“Warning, the Emperor Beetle’s murderous aura is extremely strong. Hopefully, the Host can be determined and remain unaffected by the murderous aura. Otherwise, the Host will be obliterated.”

After that, the System’s voice disappeared.

Hong Dali took a glance at the blood-red murderous aura mist around and gulped. “I, probably, maybe, possibly, won’t get affected…”

Although he said this, he had absolutely zero confidence in his heart.
