The fairy pointed to a set of teleportation tokens that simply read "Return Home" and a system screen flashed in front of Liam with the option to choose his default home.
Liam stared at the screen, his eyes wide. "If a planet is currently still in the process of integration, I can still select it as home?" He asked the fairy as he contemplated his various options.
"Ah. Integration essentially hides the planet and offers a protection barrier from outside forces. So this won't be possible unless you have at least the status of a Lord in the world and you have lived in the world for a considerable period of time." The fairy rubbed his chin and explained. "Also, in this case, you might be randomly teleported to somewhere inside the world and not exactly the system shop. That is the best we can do."
Liam grinned. This was enough! This was more than enough for him!
He quickly tried to select his default home as Earth and lo and behold it actually worked.
Liam sucked in a big breath of air and let it out. It felt good to catch a break once in a while. Of course, the big number next to the option made his heart ache a little.
He needed 1 trillion middle-grade mana cores as payment each time he availed of this return home teleportation token from the system shop.
Besides, from what Dante continued ranting, teleportation between two worlds had an immense effect on one's soul and he simply wouldn't be able to jump willy-nilly from one world to another. These were big decisions that needed to be made carefully. At least it was good to know that he had this option available to him.
Liam signaled to the others and had them also select their default return points. Dante watched the group enviously. "How did that damn priestess let you off?" He scoffed.
"You want to know?" Liam walked closer to Dante. His face was serious as if he was going to reveal some deep-rooted secret that he had buried in his heart for a long time. He then opened his mouth. "It's because I am handsome."
The next second everyone became silent in shock. After that second of complete silence, Rey and Madan immediately broke into laughter, laughing so loudly that their saliva was spewing out everywhere. Lan Deming also couldn't control himself and ended up laughing with the two. Dante's face turned ugly.
"Bro, you seem to be in a good mood today." Rey wiped the tears on his face and put his arm around Liam, giving him a head bump.
"Mmmm. I am indeed." Liam hummed. Though it was expensive, finally some things were starting to work in their favor.
With a smile, he then silently returned to the teleportation tokens screen and started reading through the descriptions of what options were available to them.
Frostfell Depths: An icy world of harsh, unforgiving tundra and deep, dark oceans. The dominant inhabitants are a hardy race of frost giants, renowned for their crafting and battle prowess. The sea is said to hide underwater cities filled with treasures and ancient magic. The dangers are the extreme cold, ice beasts, and the ever-looming threat of giant war parties.
(Code Red, Highly Dangerous)
Ceravat Empire: One of the ten Empires that control more than one world in the Xicta sector of the Myriad Realms. The Empire is ruled by the Ceravat family and even though many races co-exist in the worlds under the Empire, the dominant powers are beastkin.
The environment ranges from bustling metropolitan cities to serene magical academies situated in tranquil environments to warring borders. Visitors are advised to be aware of the political tensions and the Empire's strict laws and customs.
Travelers are warned to respect local laws and authorities and to avoid unwittingly getting involved in local disputes or power struggles.
(Code Orange, Neutral)
Twilight's End: One of the ten Empires that control more than one world in the Xicta sector of the Myriad Realms. The Empire is ruled by Emperor Binam. The only residing race is undead but the Empire welcomes all races with open arms.
The Empire is also connected to the other Undead Empires in other sectors of the Myriad realms which provides a wonderful opportunity for inter-sector travel. (Code Red, Highly Dangerous)
Liam's face twitched. Wonderful opportunity? More like a death wish! If one looked closer at their description, it pretty much stated that everyone who stepped foot in that world lost their soul and was instantly converted into an undead!
Was this a joke? Why would anyone want to go there?
More importantly, he did not think that the undead had such a strong presence in the Myriad realms, going as far as having their own Empire and control of worlds. It was no wonder that they tried to invade their world too and erected an array capable of turning their whole world into a nether oriented world.
Pass. Liam did not plan on visiting this one any time soon. He was indeed curious about the undead Empire and he was pretty sure he would be immune to their usual conversion if he ever decided to go. However, he did not plan on being at odds with the Undead Empire and the Divine Empire at the same time. He would be glad if he was not already on the radar of the big shots of this place.
The fact that this Empire was connected to the other undead Empires in other sectors was enough of a red flag for him to avoid this place for the time being.
Liam's previous happy mood was completely gone when he once again realized the real depth of the shit they were in.
He slapped himself on the forehead as he realized something obvious. The divine temple high-priestess need not even lift her finger to take action.
If she simply happened to let slip information about him to the entire myriad realms...
