Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal

Three hundred years ago, after the Gamble of Will.

It was dusk after the rain, the air was humid and fresh. But Ji Zining’s mood was as cold as winter.

She stood on the top of the mountain. The cloak representing Galaxy Aristocrat fluttered with the wind whistling.

Yin Family, Yin Haoyun.

“Zining,” Yin Haoyun said gently. “To be honest, I’m jealous of Ye Hantian. Although he is dead, he has your everything. In your heart, I am nothing compared to him.”

“We have a good relationship since we were young.” Zining smiled. “I’ve always treated you as my brother. You should understand.”

“I do.” Yin Haoyun nodded. “Hence, I don’t want to make things difficult for you. You should know about the Gamble of Will. It’s not so easy to win it. After all, I’m the one who fixed the rules.”

“I understand.” Ji Zining sighed and said helplessly, “I’m afraid we won’t be able to see each other in the future...”

“That’s right. I can help you this time,” Yin Haoyun turned around slowly and looked into Ji Zining’s eyes. “but I can’t help you forever. I deliberately fought for the Gamble of Will. Otherwise, your future... Ah, forget it. Let’s not talk about it.”

He looked into the sky and closed his eyes briefly. “It will not be easy to lead the life of a vagrant. You might encounter all kinds of suffering. But, Zining, don’t be blinded by hate. It was not the Elders’ choice to do this. The most important thing was for people on the Beta Planet to multiply. Each and every person on Beta Planet is precious. They would not have done this if given a choice...”

“No! I hate them. I’ll hate them for life!” Hearing the mention of the Elders, there was no hesitation on Ji Zining’s part. “Even if I died, I will continue to hate them! What did Hantian do wrong? What wrong did Hantian’s planet do?! They killed them just like that! They did not even give me a chance to beg them! I refuse! I refuse to concede defeat!”

“Aye, poor thing...” Yin Haoyun wiped the tears from Ji Zining’s face. He comforted her gently. “I know this hatred cannot be resolved in a short time. I won’t make it hard for you. But remember, don’t be blinded by hatred. Since you won’t forgive the Elders, one day, when you become powerful, don’t make it too hard for other ordinary people. They are innocent.”

“Okay, I promise!” Ji Zining gritted her teeth and nodded.

When she finished speaking, Yin Tianzong, who was in the Thunder Angel, mumbled to himself and rubbed his chin. He thought for a while and suddenly shouted, “Oh my God, Yin Haoyun is my grandfather’s grandfather’s grandfather! Who would have thought we are related in this manner.” He alighted from Thunder Angel and hugged Ji Zining’s leg. “Sister Zining, please take care of me!”

“Brat!” Ji zining shook her head and smiled. “If I didn’t know the descent of the Yin Family was here, would I talk to everyone so nicely? I owe Haoyun one, I’m just returning the favor.”

“No, no.” Yin Tianzong whined. “Take care of me, at least...” Then, Hong Dali’s Granzon lifted him up. Hong Dali said, “Ignore them, Sister Zining. Please continue...”

“En.” Ji Zining composed herself and said—

“Later, as I was wandering about in the Milky Way, I met the mutated Zergs...

“Originally, I was prepared to die. I did not even resist. I only thought, since my vow with Hantian was to fight the Zergs and forge our death certificates, I thought of just dying like that. But what happened next was out of my expectation.

“I did not die. I was sucked and mutated. I was to become a Zerg Knight. At that point, I thought it would be good to become a Zerg Knight. I wouldn’t be myself and I could take revenge on them... Who would have thought, I became a leader more advanced than Zerg Knights, the Queen of Blades...

“At that moment, I was in despair. Hantian was dead, I wanted to die but couldn’t. I became neither human nor ghost. I wanted to return to take revenge. But when I thought of my parents—they brought me up, after all...”

Ji Zining took in a light breath. Hong Dali and the others were silent.

She had experienced such a terrible thing. This was not something that could be easily conceived by everyone. How much hardship had she suffered...

“I wandered alone in the universe...” Ji Zining smiled bitterly. “Time meant nothing to me, I did not have the concept of time. Perhaps it was one hundred years or maybe two hundred years... As I wandered, I found this planet unintentionally. Which in your words, is Earth...”

Ji Zining came to Earth previously! Why did she come here? What did she do?

In an instant, everyone’s attention was on her!

“You came to Earth...” Hong Dali asked anxiously, “to do what?”

“Ah, nothing much.” Ji Zining smiled. “This planet is beautiful. Although it’s a little small, it’s a pretty planet—the most important thing is that it was still in the age of ancient civilizations. Technology was completely absent. I couldn’t bear to destroy this place. After all, although I’m the Queen of Blades, I have no malicious intention against other planets, especially this primitive planet that has not even been connected to the Galaxy Virtual Network.”

Ji Zining looked around gently. Although they were in a desert, in her eyes, it was so beautiful...

“At that moment, I was thinking, what a beautiful planet this is. If Hantian did not die, I would retire here with him, adopt a few beautiful children, and live happily for the rest of our lives. Wouldn’t it be wonderful?

“It’s a pity. None of those could be done anymore. We can’t turn back time, can we?

“So, I planted a small seed here. It will grow slowly and germinate slowly. One day, it will grow up. That will be when I will return...”

Wait, this is too much information.

This Queen of Blades, Ji Zining, left a seed on Earth one to two hundred years ago. When this seed was fully grown, it would be the time she returned.

And now she’s back. Her purpose...

“Oh my God! Sister Ji Zining!” Hong Dali was really good at flattering. By calling her “sister”, he managed to pull their relationship closer. “The seed that you mentioned, is it... Sister Xiao Yi?!”

“Har?!” Hearing that, everyone was shocked!

Zerg Queen Zhang Yi, was the seed Ji Zining left behind?! In other words, she was Ji Zining’s descendant?!

“That’s right.” Ji Zining waved at Thunder Angel. “Your name is Xiao Yi? Come here, my... descendant...”

Everyone was blown away!

The Zerg Queen, Zhang Yi, was just fond of bug genes. In the beginning, everyone thought that this was just a special hobby of hers. Who would have thought that she was really a descendant of the Zerg! A descendant of the Queen of Blades?! God, how many secrets are we hiding on Earth?! Mo Tianji! The descendant of the Queen of Blades! Dali beans! All kinds of magical things...

Treasures, Earth was full of treasures!

The Thunder Angel slowly transformed and a conveyor belt linked to the ground.

After all, with the Queen of Blades and Emperor Beetle here, if they really fought, it might not be safe even in the Thunder Angel. They might as well face them and talk matters out...

Hence, Zhang Yi came down on the conveyor belt.

She soon arrived before Ji Zining.

“Such a beautiful child.” Ji Zining raised her hand which was full of scales and slowly touched Zhang Yi’s face. “You look so much like me when I was younger...”

This world was simply too crazy! Who would have thought that the Ji Zining who was exiled would become Queen of Blades? The Zerg Queen Zhang Yi who appeared on Earth was actually her descendant!

Although Ji Zining did not specifically explain the details, one could guess what happened...

Simply put, Ji Zining left a seed with Zerg genes on Earth. Somehow it was planted in a person on Heavenly State on Earth. And this person’s descendant carried Zerg genes—

God, didn’t that mean that Zergs knew the Earth inside out from the start?! It was only because of Ji Zining that they did not attack Earth!

Which meant Ji Zining had been protecting Earth all long?!

Damn, could there be less information?! This was too much—but thinking about it again, this got interesting. Dali had connections even with the Zergs now?!

Zhang Yi was shocked. She did not know what to greet this predecessor who stood before her. She couldn’t possibly call her “old ancestress”...

“I... how should I greet you?” Zhang Yi’s face turned red, her heart beating fast. Her combat power was strong, but this was not something that could be settled by force. Besides, the person standing before her was her predecessor. “Am I really your descendant?”

“Just call me ‘Sister,’” Ji Zining said gently. “Although you carry the genes which I planted on Earth, you are not considered my offspring. So you can just call me ‘Sister’. That sounds more affectionate.”

“Sister Zining.” Zhang Yi giggled as she hugged Ji Zining’s arm. “Then... what is your motive for coming to Earth...”

“I’m here for a special reason.” Ji Zining looked at the Granzon that Hong Dali rode on. “How about you come down and we can talk? Although your mecha is made of Immium ore and has a very strong defense. But if a war really breaks out, you might be fine, but the others won’t be as lucky—So, don’t worry. I really just want to talk to you properly, okay?”
