Battle Through the Heavens: There Are Always Rebellious Disciples Who Want to Deceive Their Master — Section 7

"Host, please understand that the top-tier Resurrected True Body is unique and belongs solely to you. You may also only use the top-tier Resurrected True Body."

What???

Were his ears malfunctioning?

Was the system trying to force a sale on him?

Was it not giving him any room to choose at all?

Was this how anyone did business?

He had not examined the top-tier Resurrected True Body closely before, because its price alone had startled him.

But now that things had come to this, he had to take a good look at the difference between the top-tier version and those ordinary versions.

Why did it belong only to him?

And why was its price so absurdly high?

What exactly was the system up to?

The ordinary Resurrected True Bodies all seemed to have been made from the same mold, and there was no limit to their quantity!

But after examining them carefully, he discovered something terrifying: those Resurrected True Bodies were identical to his body from before he transmigrated?

Could that top-tier Resurrected True Body be his own body?

Wasn't using his own body to make money going too far?

Could his death in his previous life have been caused by the system?

And now that he had transmigrated, did he still have to work for the system?

What sin had he committed to deserve this?

What was hidden behind all this?

"System, you must explain clearly what this top-tier True Body is all about!

Don't you dare tell me it isn't my body from my previous life!!!

I've already checked. Every mole on that body, even every single hair, is familiar to me. That is absolutely my body!

You're making me pay to buy my body from my previous life. Isn't that a little too shameless?"

If the system wanted him to work for it, it could just say so outright. He could not resist anyway, so why take such a roundabout approach?

If conflict arose between him and the system, could this journey through another world truly continue?

Give me liberty, or give me death!!!

"Host, please trust the system's professional integrity. Your death had nothing whatsoever to do with this system!

This system only bound itself to you after you died suddenly. This system guarantees it upon the honor of the system!

As for the Resurrected True Body, it does indeed belong to you!

You are a transmigrated soul. Ordinary Resurrected True Bodies cannot bring you back to life at all. Only the top-tier version—your original body—can resurrect you!

There is one more thing: the system and the host share both glory and ruin!!!"

You were strong, so you had the final say!

Everything you said was right. He would not argue!

Emotionally speaking, Su Mu still chose to believe the system.

Things had already reached this point. The system seemingly had no reason to fool him anymore.

Why would it go to so much trouble just to weave such a lie?

More importantly, he did not dare offend the system completely. What if he enraged it, and it ended up killing him?

His current condition was indeed terrible, but it was still better than being dead!

He was actually quite afraid of death!

However, there was one thing Su Mu could never accept!

Resurrected True Body?

"System, I can accept everything else you said, but I absolutely cannot accept the price of the Resurrected True Body!"

The system really knew how to do business. It was bad enough that he had to buy his own body, but it had even set an astronomical price. What did it take him for?

Did he really look that much like a sucker?

Calling his system a shady shop almost sounded like praise.

Sure enough, it was a heartless thing. Otherwise, it would never have set such a price!

How had that outrageous price even come about?

Was it not afraid that he would quit?

It was only an ordinary mortal body, not the body of a Dou Emperor. Was such a high price really necessary?

This was killing him!!!

"Host should understand that bringing your body from the original world into the current world cost no small price.

Moreover, this system has not even charged you for storing your body. Host should be satisfied with the current price!"

Thanks a damn lot!

Who asked you to transport my body here? You might as well have just let me die!

Why did you make me transmigrate here?

Was it just to find yourself a tool?

The system truly was unreliable!

"You said it yourself: preserving my body costs an enormous price. Why not just give me the body now?"

Why spend so much to preserve his body?

He was thinking about the system, too.

If he could not gather enough Admiration Value in the future, then the system would only waste resources preserving his body for nothing. What would be the point?

Storing something not only took up space, but also wasted resources. Why not just use it directly?

"System, if it really comes down to it, I can buy it on credit!

But if I buy it on credit, you can't raise the price. You should lower it instead, since I'm helping you save resources!"

At first listen, that did seem to make sense.

"Impossible. So stop thinking about it."

Before Su Mu's fantasy could go any further, the system rejected it outright.

Its tone was exceptionally firm!

Everything was negotiable. What was so bad about it? They could discuss it slowly. Why reject him so urgently?

At worst, he would take a loss and spend a few more points of Admiration Value!

"Even if I gave it to you, could you use it?"

There was even a faint trace of mockery in the system's tone.

???

Was it mocking him?

Su Mu could not understand it. It was his own body—could he not enter it?

If he really could not enter it, then it definitely would not be his fault.

The system had to be up to something!

But why bother?

"Does the host believe that after passing through two worlds, your body truly has not changed in the slightest?

Back then, this system paid a considerable price to bring your body from the original world into the Battle Through the Heavens World.

Before your strength reaches the level of a Dou Emperor, host should stop thinking about such nonsense!

This system has not charged you extra storage fees, so please be content!"

This host really gave it no peace of mind!

It was only a tiny system, not some merchant skilled at doing business. Why could the host not be more considerate of it?

The system was suffering!

It only wanted to develop in the direction most beneficial to itself. What had it done wrong?

For the sake of this damned host, it had received no return at all, yet had already made enormous sacrifices.

Who knew what it had paid in order to preserve this body properly?

The host's brain was not bad either, so why could he not use it where it mattered?

What use was his shabby body sitting here?

The cost of preserving a body was no small matter. In the future, it had to make the host work harder and earn money quickly. Otherwise, how could its sacrifices be justified?

Even though it was only a system, it still felt that life was not easy!

The system fell completely silent, and Su Mu quieted down as well.

Going by what the system said, it did seem to make some sense.

For his body to have been preserved, the system must have paid quite a price.

He just did not know what the system had done to his body to make its price so high.

Believing it was one thing, but accepting it was another.

Who could understand the feeling of seeing his own body yet being unable to touch it?

Could he really gather nearly ten digits' worth of Admiration Value?
