For Xiao Ning, the return card and renewal card are useless now; only the teleportation card is useful.
However, the description of the teleportation card's functions was so frightening that Xiao Ning dared not take the risk.
...
[Item Name]: Teleportation Card
Price: 100 points
[Item Description]: One-time use card. After using this card, you can travel to other worlds.
Without world coordinates, you might be teleported into the rear end of an abyssal demon!
...
After a long pause, Xiao Ning gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind.
"Damn it, the timid starve, the bold thrive! System, I want to buy a teleportation card!"
Are you sure you want to purchase the teleportation card?
Yes, confirmed!
No, you pressed the wrong button!
Xiao Ning selected "Confirm," and a golden streak of light flashed past as he entered the system space.
With a thought, he saw a card resembling a playing card floating in the air. The front of the card had three large seal script characters: "Teleportation Card," and the back had the logo of the sign-in system.
Without further hesitation, Xiao Ning's mind stirred, and he silently chanted, "Use the teleportation card!"
As soon as the words were spoken, two options popped up on the system's virtual screen:
[1. You can travel through time in your original body; simply pay 1000 points!]
[2. You can create a clone and travel through time, just pay 1000 points!]
Xiao Ning's eyes widened, and she felt a wave of confusion wash over her.
"What does this mean? There are actually different options? What's the difference between the two options?"
The thought had barely crossed his mind when a sudden realization dawned on him.
The two options provided by the system seem simple, but in fact they are worlds apart.
The first option, "Transmigration of the Main Body," is self-evident; the host will directly travel to the new body, and the system will automatically assign a suitable identity to the host.
The advantage is that you can use your own Grandmaster-level martial arts strength at the beginning of your transmigration, and you can protect yourself in the early stages no matter what world you are facing.
However, the drawbacks are also obvious. Once you encounter someone you can't defeat, it's game over. Just type "gg," the game is over, and you're done for. There's no chance to start over.
The purpose of paying 1,000 points is for the system to assign the host a reasonable identity, ensuring that the host is not detected as abnormal by the Heavenly Dao consciousness of the other world.
The second option, "Cloning and Traveling," means exactly what the name suggests: with the help of the system, a wisp of the soul is separated and travels, while the original body remains carefree in the real world.
Its advantage is safety.
Unless one encounters a powerful being who is proficient in a series of strange and invincible things such as souls, causality, and curses, even if the clone perishes, the main body will remain unaffected.
There are also drawbacks. When a soul clone travels through time, it has to start all over again, from scratch. Moreover, the race of the traveler is random. What if the traveler becomes a pig, a dog, a tree, a blade of grass, or some other non-human? Wouldn't that make them depressed to death?
The points paid for the second option are for protecting that wisp of soul's avatar so that it can safely reach the other world and be successfully reincarnated.
It can be said that both options have their advantages and disadvantages.
"How...should I choose?"
Xiao Ning scratched his head, somewhat at a loss.
He wanted to choose the first option, but he was worried that he would be going to a world with extremely high combat power, and that he would probably die before he could even finish three chapters.
The second option is also not ideal. What if one were to possess a pig? Wouldn't that be like buying a block of tofu and smashing one's head against it to die?
"Damn it, isn't there a way to have the best of both worlds?"
Frustration filled his heart, and Xiao Ning let out a long sigh.
A long time passed.
"Damn it, let's do it! If we die, our eggs will face the sky; if we don't, we'll live forever!"
Xiao Ning made up his mind and decided to choose the first option: transmigrate in his true form. He didn't want to be reborn as a non-human.
May the Three Pure Ones bless us!
As he made his choice with a thought, a golden light appeared out of thin air and enveloped Xiao Ning. The light gradually weakened until it disappeared, as if it had never existed.
But the spot was empty; Xiao Ning had vanished without a trace.
After choosing to travel to the real body, Xiao Ning felt a blur before his eyes, as if he had arrived in an unknown place. After a while, the light returned to his eyes.
When he opened his eyes, he found himself in a square surrounded by a group of men and women of similar age, and the scene was lively and bustling.
Xiao Ning, standing silently among the crowd, observed this unfamiliar world. It wasn't until the scene before this chapter occurred that he suddenly realized that this world was very similar to the opening of Battle Through the Heavens that he had seen before.
Battle Through the Heavens, Xiao Ning remembered that it was a wildly popular online novel back then. It told the story of the genius boy Xiao Yan who, after setting an unprecedented cultivation record for his family, suddenly became a cripple, and suffered a series of setbacks.
Just when he was about to despair, a wisp of soul emerged from the ring on his hand, and a brand new door opened before him, leading to the story of how he eventually achieved the glorious title of Dou Di after arduous cultivation.
