Nofilia was quite beautiful in the first place. Now that she had just cried and suddenly smiled, she looked even more beautiful. Although not comparable to Tang Muxin and Li Nianwei, she was still definitely a beauty.

Momentarily, the breathing of the surrounding students all quickened.

“Ah, it’s what I should do.” Hong Dali blushed and scratched his head, then smiled and said, “It was just on the way, hehe.”

At the side, Tang Muxin helplessly shrugged and said, “It’s over, she has fallen at least 30%.”

“I fear it’s more than that.” Li Nianwei smiled and hugged Tang Muxin. “The Young Master’s charisma isn’t low.”

“Alright, all of you can disperse now.” Fergos waved his hand and the students instantly all left and returned to their classrooms. Fergos and the three old men looked at the environment in the classroom and said, “Yup. Everyone, rest for the rest of today. Ask someone to fix this place up. Hong Dali, come with me with a while.”

“Ah? Me?” Hong Dali pointed at his nose and asked, “Is it to receive punishment?”

“A little.” Fergos smiled and said, “You will have to compensate for the destroyed stuff. But I remember that you liked to squander, this might be just what you want?”

“Hehe, you are the best, Dean.” Hong Dali hurriedly transformed back to his normal self, laughed and walked over to Fergos. “Compensating and such stuff is what I like to do most.”

Cheers for being a prodigal! If I don’t compensate the school, how am I supposed to earn attribute points!?

Since things here had been settled, Hong Dali followed the Dean and the other three old men to the Dean’s office. After they went in, the Dean locked the door, frowned and thought for a while. Then, he said, “Dali, take a seat first.”

“OK.” Hong Dali didn’t know what they wanted with him and felt a little perturbed. He sat down and waited for the Dean to speak.

“Yup, it’s better if you say it.” Fergos looked at the Third Elder.

“Yup, let me say it.” The Third Elder Arnold had a long white beard and a sun hat on his head, looking quite weird. But what he said next caused Hong Dali to be really surprised. “This Second Gear of yours, how did it come about?”

What the heck, this old fellow can actually tell that there’s something strange with the Second Gear?

Hong Dali’s head went numb. But at crucial times like this, he could keep his calm. He instantly smiled and scratched his head, then said, “Haha, it doesn’t have any origin or anything like that, it’s just an ability I came up with for some explosive power.”

“Hehe, then what about that sledgehammer?” Arnold looked at the Light Stone Venom Ice Sledgehammer and said, “It isn’t easy to create this fellow, right? According to the environment at that moment, you probably controlled five elements and created it on the spot?”

This old fellow knows everything, impressive!

“Yup, this is indeed true.” Hong Dali knew that he couldn’t hide this and nodded. “I created it on the spot.”

At this moment, although Hong Dali looked very normal on the surface, he felt quite strange inside.

According to what these old fellows said, they have obviously interacted with the System before? Or understood it? But this should be impossible, right? Do they know of the System?

“Yup, Dali.” At this moment, Dean Fergos spoke, “No matter what elixirs you eat, it won’t have any effect on your body, right? Also, you said that your occupation is to be a prodigal. At that time, I already felt that you might be the person that I anticipated, but I wasn’t sure yet. After I saw the fight between you and Bei Yuanqing, I’m finally sure now.”

Hong Dali finally became solemn.

He had a faint feeling that he might possibly learn of some extremely astonishing news today. And this news was related to the System in his mind!

“Yup, don’t be surprised yet, my child.” Fergos smiled very gently, then stood up. The other three all stood up too and the four of them walked up to Hong Dali, then actually kneed down on one leg!

“Dean, you guys are...” Hong Dali was astonished by their actions.

What were they doing?

The four of them looked into Hong Dali’s eyes and gradually said, “Divine College’s Dean Fergos, Big Elder Walker, Second Elder David, Third Elder Arnold, greets The Chosen One.”

“The Chosen One? What’s that?” Hong Dali was dazed. He was The Chosen One? What exactly was this about?

After greeting Hong Dali, the four of them went back to their seats and Fergos finally started to explain. “In the vast universe, there are many Astrals like ours, so many that you can’t even count them. And this is just but one dimension. Outside of our dimension, there are still many parallel dimensions, and each of them has countless Astral-level universe kingdoms.

“The universe is infinite and endless. In the history of the countless universes, generations and generations of mighty beings appeared. And all of these mighty beings have infinite and endless power. They can create and also destroy universes. And according to a small part of the information that we obtained, for such dimension mighty beings, we address them as Dimension Masters.”

What the heck! Dimension Master! What kind of tempo is this? That’s the legendary creator of worlds?

Hong Dali stared in bewilderment. From what the Dean said, he was connected to a creator of worlds? The level he was facing had instantly been lifted until it exceeded the sky’s limits, didn’t it!?

“Don’t be surprised yet, my child.” Fergos smiled. “The Dimension Master spends most of his time in slumber. And to protect the normal development of the universe, every time he wakes up, he will arrange numerous special skills and spread them to each corner of the universe and let them slowly grow from the lowest planet level and slowly advance upwards. If in the process, they unfortunately die, they can only blame themselves for not being strong enough. And obviously, Dali, you are quite powerful. But don’t be over-confident or proud of yourself, there are still countless obstacles waiting ahead of you.”

It looks like the main show is coming!

As expected, what Fergos said next was the most alarming. “I have mentioned just now that the Dimension Master spends most of his time sleeping. Each time he sleeps, he might possibly sleep for as long as a few thousand or over 10,000 years. Of course, this isn’t important, what’s really important is that the Dimension Master isn’t eternal. They are more like the mighty beings from a higher dimension, all-knowing and almighty. And when they are going to enter eternal slumber, they will start searching for a successor.

“The successor of the Dimension Master is called The Chosen One. And very obvious, there isn’t just one Chosen One. This means to say that you will need to fight with countless Chosen Ones and kill a path through them to the end. If you can do so, you will become the next Dimension Master and be able to control time, space, everything.”

When Fergos finished saying this, the entire room went completely quiet.

Hearing that, Hong Dali stared in bewilderment.

This System was actually thrown out by the Dimension Master? I’m a Chosen One? I must fight with countless Chosen Ones? Kill all of them and become the next Dimension Master!?

What the heck, I am a prodigal! A prodigal! I don’t want to do these kinds of stuff! I just want to live happily and peacefully with worries, marry my wives and have kids and live the rest of my life happily ever after! What the heck has The Chosen One got to do with me!?

“I reject! I don’t want to do this!” Hong Dali resolutely shook his head and said, “Why would I want to do something so tiring? What’s good about being a Dimension Master? Sleep every day? Sleep for thousands of years? What use is there in that? if I can’t live happily, what difference is there from just being a dead person?”

Actually, what Hong Dali said wasn’t wrong.

Imagine if he really killed through the other Chosen Ones and stood at the top and became a Dimension Master, then what next?

Sleep every day for thousands of years, then wake up spending days that he would know what would happen beforehand? This was just like spoilers! Since he knew everything and there wasn’t any secrets to him in the universe anymore, what point was there in living such a life?

This was akin to watching Detective Conon—the murder case had just appeared, but someone had already told them who the murderer was...

1What the heck, the reader would directly throw the book on the floor, wouldn’t he!?

“This...” Hearing Hong Dali’s refusal, the four of them were stunned.

Hong Dali was actually unwilling to become a Dimension Master, an all-knowing and almighty God? What was this fellow’s brain made of? If such a good thing landed on someone else’s head, that person would definitely wake up laughing, yet this Hong Dali actually wasn’t willing!?

“Dali, don’t you want to consider properly first?” Fergos hurriedly said, “That’s a Dimension Master, after all, the highest ruler in this universe. You might possibly...”

“I refuse, I just want to be a prodigal!” Hong Dali twitched his lips in disdain and said, “It’s exactly because our lives are filled with uncertainty, there are family and friends around us, that’s why there’s meaning in living. If we are all-knowing and almighty, it may look very good, but being alone, and life is only left with sleeping and working, without even a person to talk to, I may as well not become such a person. I refuse, I absolutely refuse!”

As Hong Dali spoke up to this point, he dissipated the elemental energies in the sledgehammer into the wind and walked out of the room, closed the door and left chicly.

After Hong Dali left, the four old men were really at a loss of what to do. They looked at each other, all of them still not being able to react.

After all, Hong Dali was The Chosen One. That was what the Dimension Master in this universe arranged. Yet, with such good conditions, in the end, he didn’t even want to become this highest being in the entire universe?

Such a matter caused them to have some trouble accepting this. Of course, it wasn’t just this. What really caused them to be depressed was another matter—as mentioned just now, there wasn’t just one Chosen One, but countless!
