Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal

In the star sector near Faerie Star.

Once Hong Dali’s Faerie Star VIP spacecraft started a Space Oscillation, they were instantly discovered by a guard, who promptly reported to his superior. “Reporting to headquarters, a VIP spacecraft has just departed from Faerie Star. Please give orders.”

High Nobles headquarters, lower-level parliament.

Parliament member Ma Tiancheng instantly opened his eyes. “Hurry and ask the respected Green Phoenix if the person who left is Hong Dali! If so, ask about where he’s headed now. Hurry!”

Hong Dali, this killer had too many secrets on him. They could not afford to make a mistake.

Soon, a small spacecraft landed in front of Green Phoenix’s cave. A few High Noble guards hurriedly entered the cave.

“Respected One.” A guard asked, “Were the ones who just left Faerie Star Hong Dali and the rest?”

“Yes.” Green Phoenix nodded. “They successfully helped the Black Flood Dragon Wuwei break through his limitations and transform into a dragon. By the rules of my Faerie Star, Hong Dali had the right to become a VIP. I will not meddle in your humans’ affairs. I just acted according to the agreements.”

“Understood.” The guard was aware of the agreement between the respected Green Phoenix and humans. She was not a subordinate to any human. As long as her actions were reasonable, nobody could be displeased with her—furthermore, he was just a small guard. He was not worthy. Hence, he just asked a crucial question. “Respected One, please tell us about where Hong Dali is headed?”

“His home planet.” After she said that, Green Phoenix slowly closed her eyes.

She meant that the conversation was over.

“Farewell.” The guard left once he got his answers.

Soon, the ten Top Operatives on Beta Planet received news about Hong Dali leaving the Faerie Star.

“Hong Dali is returning to his home planet?” The silver-haired man smiled touched his chin. “That makes it easier. Since he cares so much about his home planet, I’ll see what he uses to negotiate with us.”

Home planets were usually people’s biggest weaknesses.

On the silver-blue super-planet, everyone related to Hong Dali was evacuated. Throughout the entire process, the ten Top Operatives also sent their subordinates to investigate and supervise. However, nobody expected the results of the investigation.

Everyone had evacuated before they arrived. The final targets all pointed towards the direction of Hong Dali’s home planet.

That made it too easy for the Top Operatives. As long as they surrounded Hong Dali’s home planet, they knew that his surrender was only a matter of time. That was why the silver-haired man did not pursue the Galaxy Aristocrat’s responsibilities. Otherwise, just the one rule about letting the murderer’s family get away was enough to destroy them.

…

Time passed quickly. Over two days went by in an instant.

Somewhere near Earth’s star sector.

A luminous spot first appeared in the Solar System. Then, a dozen, tens, and finally all of the spots appeared from the dark sky of the universe. There were exactly 100 spots!

100 Fifth-Order Stellar-level space carriers!

“Reporting to Captain, we have entered the star sector of the target.” The soldier reported to the captain. “Please give us the orders, captain.”

“We’ve reached?” The captain looked at the continuously spinning Earth in space. He sighed lightly. “It’s a beautiful planet. It’s a shame that it’s about to be covered in the flames of war… Spread the orders, Team 1 to Team 10 will be entering the target planet to control the situation.”

“Yes!”

Soon, countless small-sized spacecrafts flew out from 100 Stellar-level Space Carriers. Within dozens of minutes, the small spacecrafts all flew into Earth’s atmosphere layer.

However, once they entered the atmospheric layer, they instantly felt that something was wrong!

The entire planet had obviously already been ransacked once. Judging by the signs, it looked like the proud work of the Zergs.

“Report, Captain!” The soldier rushed back into the captain’s office. “The target planet was invaded by the Zergs. Not many lives are currently found on the entire planet.”

Zergs! It was a blessing that the Zergs did not eat the entire planet. What else could be left?

“What?!” The captain was stunned. “What you mean is that nobody exists on this planet?!”

“Yes, Captain.” The soldier nodded.

“Something is off.” The captain touched his chin and talked to himself. “A planet raided by Zergs. Did we waste our trip?” He thought for a while, then waved his hands. “Deploy our surveillance spacecrafts! Check every corner of the planet. We’ll see if we dig up something.”

“Yes!”

Soon, countless small spacecrafts flew out of 100 Fifth-Order Stellar-level space carriers. These small aircraft were designed to be reconnaissance spacecrafts. Each spacecraft had a search radius of ten kilometers. With all the surveillance spacecrafts in use, they could probably examine the entire Earth’s surface within minutes.

As expected, some news came back after half an hour.

“Captain, we found plenty of humans on the target planet. However, these people are the oldest.” The soldier reported. “I found out quite a lot of information from the old folks. They provided some invaluable information.”

“Hm, what information?” The captain hurriedly asked.

The soldier said, “They said that all the humans on this Earth have evacuated and stopped living here.”

“All gone?” The captain instantly understood. “Gather all the old people and place them under control. What the heck. Seems like we wasted our trip. I’ll report to my superiors now!”

…

Soon, the silver-haired man on Beta Planet received news of everyone on Earth migrating.

“You dare to bullshit me with fake intel!” The silver-haired man was outraged. “You dare to lie to a High Noble?! Tell me, what’s going on! If you don’t explain this clearly to me now. Your Beta Planet will cease to exist!”

“Sir, please calm down!” Jiang Dongliu hurriedly walked forward. “Hong Dali’s home planet’s coordinates are these indeed. However, we did not expect everyone on his home planet to migrate at the same time.”

“Bullshit!” The silver-haired man said quietly, “You know that’s not what I’m asking for! I want to find out where the people on his home planet went! I want results! You have one hour. If you can’t find any information, go and die!”

The silver-haired man was angry. He felt like a monkey being fooled by Hong Dali.

Of course, no matter how smart he was, he would never expect Hong Dali’s background being affirmed by this poor old man acting weak in front of him.

It was actually not his fault. Nobody at that position would expect his subordinates to dare to lie to him.

This was like a central party member visiting a small county. Who would expect that a tiny little county official would dare to operate behind his back?

Of course, no matter how hard they tried to mess around, the dust was beginning to settle now. They could no longer drag it on any further. From now on, everything depended on Hong Dali’s actions.

“Sir.” Since Jiang Dongliu put on a sad face, Li Xuancheng had to act as the pandering Aristocrat. “My grandson recently attended an auction. On that auction, there was supposedly a habitable, unmanned planet for sale. It was bought by Hong Dali. What do you think, can it be…”

“Unmanned planet?” Before Li Xuancheng could finish, the silver-haired man already figured it out. “Give me the coordinates to the unmanned planet. Hurry! I’ll leave now!”

“Okay!” Li Xuancheng and Jiang Dongliu shared a look before leaving.

“Old Li, I didn’t expect you to be so cooperative.” Jiang Dongliu smiled. “It’s a rare occurrence.”

“No shit.” It was Li Xuancheng’s turn to give a bitter expression. “Hong Dali killed Malone and three Top Operatives. How can us Galaxy Aristocrats escape unscathed? The ten trillion Dimu Dollars will be nothing compared to the countless unfair treaties we will have to sign, right? If Hong Dali really has the strength to go against the High Nobles, maybe we can still live a good life.”

His words were not wrong.

A compensation of ten trillion dollars was only child’s play to them. The High Nobles would not be solely after the money.

As the highest rulers of the Dimu Star Sector, what they sought was dignity. Absolute power!

Anyone who dared to lay their hands on a High Noble had to suffer huge consequences! Such consequences must be huge losses for any star system. Only then would the message be loud and clear!

Hence, the ten trillion Dimu Dollars were only the appetizers. Who knew how many resources would be seized later on. No matter what, it was certain that it would be a huge amount.

However, if Hong Dali really had the strength to go against the High Nobles, everything would be different.

You’re coming to the Milky Way to find troubles with me? Sure. Then don’t blame me when I go screw up your High Nobles headquarters! Even you High Nobles can’t take this kind of consequences, right?

That was why Li Xuancheng stood on Hong Dali’s side this time. He was gambling. If he won, everything would be simple. If he lost, nothing would really change—he still had to pay the compensations and sign the unequal treaties.

No matter how he looked at it, this gamble was worth it. What if he was right?

“Hehe, seems like you gambled correctly this time.” Jiang Dongliu smiled. The two of them left the room and circled around for formalities. Soon, they returned. Once they entered the conference room, Jiang Dongliu put on a bitter expression. “Sirs, we have just conducted a check. Hong Dali has already erased the coordinates of the planet that he purchased!”

“What?!” The silver-haired man instantly stood up. “The coordinates were erased?”

“Yes, Sir.” Li Xuancheng played along. “Apparently, the man in charge of this and his whole family have been transported away. Nobody knows of their whereabouts and we are unable to contact them. He probably took a huge bribe from Hong Dali and went into hiding.”
