Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Goddess of Wisdom stood near the edge of the cliff, letting the wind blow her skirt and long hair as if she had turned into a statue.

She was a God, he was a Human, but the God required the Human to take care of her now—this couldn’t be helped, she had been a god for too long and had forgotten how to be a human. For example, she had even forgotten how to eat.

“Sister Goddess, time to eat.” Hong Dali picked quite a lot of wild fruits from the forest. He broke a thick-shelled one into two and used them as bowls to hold water. He carried it to her and said, “There’s a good saying that says humans are iron and rice is steel. If we don’t eat our meals, we will go very hungry. You’re not the same as before now. If you don’t eat, you really will die.”

Speaking of which, the fruits in this unknown dimension were indeed quite delicious and sweet. It also had the effect of warming the body. Plus there was water from the lake that could be used for drinking too. Other than not being able to see anyone else, the conditions were quite nice.

“Thank you.” The Goddess said these two words subconsciously, even to her own surprise. The last time she thanked someone was when her father was still alive. That was a really, really long time ago.

“Ah, there’s no need to be so polite. Come, eat this fruit first.” Hong Dali passed her a fruit that was already washed and sat down. Then, he smiled and said, “Luckily, I was an orphan in the past and depended on myself for everything. If not, I wouldn’t know how to take care of someone else.”

“Aren’t you afraid that I will kill you after I recover my powers?” The Goddess of Wisdom softly opened her mouth and took a small bite. Then, she softly said, “I’m at my weakest now. If you want to kill me, there’s no better chance than this.”

“We shall talk of future things in the future.” Hong Dali didn’t mind about this at all and said, “If I wanted to kill you, I wouldn’t have saved you when space collapsed at that time. Ah, things change really fast in this world, who can know what will happen in the future? If I killed you, I wouldn’t be able to go down by myself. Even if I managed to do so, I would be alone and wouldn’t even have someone to talk to. What’s meaning in such a life?”

“Oh…” The Goddess of Wisdom muttered in reply, then continued to eat the fruit and didn’t say anything more.

“Sister Goddess.” After finishing eating the fruits, unable to keep still, Hong Dali said, “Let’s think of something to play. If not, I will surely die from boredom if we just sit here all day and do nothing.” Saying so, he stood up and looked around. Very quickly, he beamed with delight and said, “Sister Goddess, shall we play Gomoku?”

“Gomoku? What’s that?” In the past, it wasn’t a problem for her to be alone quietly for millions of years. But now, with Hong Dali at her side, if he didn’t do anything, she would also feel for no apparent reason. Hearing that Hong Dali wanted to play Gomoku, she curiously asked, “How do we play that?”

“Simple. Each of us makes a few chess pieces, then the first one to make five in a row wins.” The rules of Gomoku were very simple. Hong Dali introduced it very simply and the Goddess of Wisdom quickly understood it.

Then… Hong Dali got very depressed.

For the first round, the Goddess of Wisdom won. For the second round, the Goddess of Wisdom won. For the third round, the Goddess of Wisdom still won…

“I don’t want to play this anymore, let’s play something else!” Hong Dali was depressed. He had forgotten who she was—the Goddess of Wisdom. Wasn’t he seeking death by playing this game with her?

“Let’s flick stones!” Hong Dali excitedly said, “I was really good at this when I was small!”

“Oh.” The Goddess of Wisdom insipidly replied.

10 minutes later…

“I give up!” Hong Dali was really depressed. He had forgotten again who this person in front of him was—the Goddess of Wisdom who had trained for billions of years. The stone she flicked could even do turns!

“Forget it, you’re too strong. I can’t outplay you. I shall go and bathe now!” Hong Dali sniffled. He was really seeking depression to play with the Goddess. He sweated quite a lot when searching for food just now, it was suitable for him to go and bath now.

“Oh.” The Goddess of Wisdom didn’t think too much at first. Bathing was human activity. Being a god, she didn’t need to bath. Yet, she quickly shouted out in shock and covered her eyes, angrily asking, “Hong Dali, what are you doing!?”

The current Hong Dali had already taken off his upper shirt and was preparing to remove his pants. He felt strange and asked, “I’m taking off my clothes. If not, how am I supposed to bath?”

“You big rascal, how can you be so shameless!?” The Goddess of Wisdom was so shocked that she didn’t dare to put down her hands. She turned around and asked, “How can you strip in front of me? You think I don’t dare to kill you!?”

“Then, am I supposed to bath with my clothes on!?” Hong Dali’s face was full of depression as he said, “You can just walk away and not look, right? At the beach of my home, the women all wore three-point swimwear, men only wore one-point swimwear. Oh my, there isn’t one-point swimwear here, I might as well just wear zero-point swimwear…”

Zero-point swimwear naturally meant not wearing anything…

“I’m going to kill you!” The Goddess of Wisdom couldn’t tolerate it anymore. Waving her staff, a white flash of light shot towards Hong Dali. Then, the sound of something heavy falling into water sounded. Hong Dali’s mouth, the cause of her depression, finally shut up.

“This person…” The Goddess of Wisdom let out a long breath. Although they had even done the most intimate thing, after all, she was a Goddess—noble and holy. Previously, she had no choice. But now, if Hong Dali wanted to do that to her again, then…

Thinking up to this point, she suddenly thought of how he took care of her. His attitude was always quite good-natured and had never crossed the line. Although cheeky on the mouth, he had never said anything that was too much for her too. Therefore, she was slightly softer in her attack.

Yet, just as she was thinking about this, a splashing sound sounded and Hong Dali excitedly said, “Sister Goddess, I discovered something! A very good thing!”

“What is it that made you so excited.” The Goddess of Wisdom didn’t dare to turn around and only said, “There’s fish inside the water?”

Hong Dali was dazed. “How did you know? Alright, you’re the Goddess of Wisdom, indeed. Nothing can be hidden from you. There’s fish inside the water, very big fish. We can have something delicious to eat now. I will try to catch a few and make grilled fish for you tonight!”

This person, I wonder what’s his brain made of. His thoughts jump too randomly.

“Ah, this isn’t right!” Hong Dali suddenly exclaimed in surprise, “I remember I can’t swim, why am I able to swim so freely after entering the water?” As he thought of this, Hong Dali violently realized something. “This is Elemental Affinity, the skill that the System gave to me. It can still be used!?”

This realization was really important. Hong Dali instantly dived into the water again.
