3 Chapter 1: Crossing Over Before Mou Bei's Due Date_2

Sure enough, it was just an artificial intelligence that could only act according to instructions without even trying to dissuade him.

"Apply for it!"

Shu Guan gritted his teeth and said. After that, his weary body collapsed onto the bed.

That's how the world worked sometimes. You knew the poison was right in front of you, but life forced you to swallow it.

"Tell me the result tomorrow."

Then Shu Guan closed his eyes, regardless of the result, he just wanted a good night's sleep.

At that moment... he transcended.

The transition was sudden and unexpected.

...

Shu Guan felt his body plummeting downward as if the mattress beneath him had suddenly disappeared.

Panicking, Shu Guan opened his eyes, only to find that he was no longer lying in his own bed nor was he in his cramped apartment.

Around him floated soft white clouds.

The situation was rather bizarre.

One moment, he was comfortably lying in his bed, then in the blink of an eye, he was suddenly in the sky.

... A dream ...

... But he hadn't fallen asleep yet ...

... Sudden death ... He wondered if he deserved heaven ...

... Could it be... time-travel? ...

Countless guesses flashed through Shu Guan's mind in an instant.

As a generation brought up on web novels, Shu Guan thought that what he was experiencing now resembled time-travel.

In that moment, he felt a sense of relief.

Good, tomorrow he wouldn't have to repay Mou Bei!

That was Shu Guan's first reaction at the time.

Anyway, he grew up in an orphanage and had just broken up with his girlfriend after a two-year relationship.

In his former world, there seemed to be nothing or no one he couldn't let go of.

However, after the initial excitement had worn off, Shu Guan finally became aware of his current surroundings.

The next moment, a scream of terror escaped his lips.

At this point, it seemed like he was falling rapidly from a high altitude.

Would he fall to his death right after transcending?

A sense of ridiculousness surged up in Shu Guan's heart.

However, he didn't notice that he had just screamed, but not a sound came from his mouth.

Just as he was free falling from the sky without feeling any weightlessness.

Of course, during such a situation, an ordinary person wouldn't have thought of these things.

After the initial excitement, Shu Guan's mind was now filled with terror.

He plunged rapidly through the cloud sea.

Below lay a range of continuous mountains, their peaks piercing the clouds like sharp swords aimed right at him.

Instinctually, Shu Guan raised his hand to shield his eyes.

But this action didn't help him at all. He could still see the sword-like mountain peaks rapidly approaching him.

Where are my hands?

Shu Guan looked down in confusion, wanting to see his own body, but found that he could see nothing at all.

His hands had vanished, as had his body.

Was it a soul traversal?

Shu Guan sensed something.

So all his fears and tensions instantly vanished, and Shu Guan was happy again.

... Goodbye, twenty-five years of shitty life ...

Without a hint of nostalgia, Shu Guan bid farewell to his past self in his heart and prepared to embrace a new life.

With a joyful heart, he fell into the mountain range.

...

Shu Guan saw a small stream.

On the clear water, there floated a wooden tub, in which lay a newborn baby covered with a blanket.

As for his own body, no, his soul, it was now plummeting toward the baby.

Is he supposed to transfer his soul into this baby?

Wouldn't this starting point be too low?

Putting aside the fact that he had turned into a baby after transcending, he wondered about how tough the years ahead would be. If you let me transcend as a prince or wealthy heir, I'd grit my teeth for a few years, but after that, at least there would be hope.

But the little one drifting in the stream was clearly an abandoned baby, surrounded by desolate mountains and wilderness. This was clearly a hellish start!

In his last life, he was an orphan; was he destined to repeat the same fate in this life too?

These thoughts flashed through Shu Guan's mind.

At this moment, Shu Guan finally landed above the baby's head, and he got a clear look at the baby's face.

What the fuck.

And then, Shu Guan couldn't help but burst out in expletives.

Because the baby was simply too fucking ugly.

It wasn't that his facial features were hideous, but this baby's entire body was covered in red, pus-filled blisters, including the face, which was densely packed. Many of the blisters had burst, leaking pale yellow pus.

This was undoubtedly a severe pain, especially for a newborn baby.

Thus, the baby in the tub had its limbs constantly kicking while emitting heart-wrenching cries.

Amid the ear-piercing wails, Shu Guan's soul descended into the baby's head.

Shu Guan had read many time-travel novels. According to those stories, the next step would be to obtain the host's memories.

"A tide of memories surged into his mind."

That's usually how the beginning of those time-travel stories went.

The transcender would then learn the host's identity, name, and what kind of world they had ended up in.

Unfortunately, Shu Guan was now in the body of a newborn baby, and the infant's mind was completely blank.
