Stifal's efficiency was quite high. Not long after Fang Zheng went around various worlds, dealt with all his affairs and returned to his bedroom, the voice of the crystal skull rang out again.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting, Mr. Fang Zheng."

"Yo, you got it done?"

"Because this transaction was quite unexpected, it took some time."

Stifal's voice sounded a little muffled.

"But before we sign the agreement, I hope you can comply with the following points, otherwise, I will not be able to sign the agreement."

"you say."

"First of all, I hope that you can go alone on this trip, Mr. Fang Zheng, instead of traveling with a large group like before."

"Why?"

Fang Zheng of course understood that Stefal was referring to the last time he took Touma and Sa back to the Love World and brought half of the fleet. But he didn't understand why Stefal specifically mentioned this point, after all, according to Fang Zheng's idea, he might have to bring the entire Azure Fleet this time.

"Because the planes and spaces over there are very complex, just like the waves of the sea, we cannot completely resist the waves of space. Although as plane merchants, we have the ability to find the correct passages and doors in the complex and entangled space and open them, this does not mean that we can manipulate the door at will. Sometimes, the time to open a door is only a few seconds or even a moment. If you bring too many people, then we will need to face the danger of abandoning some people at some point and letting them be swallowed by the space fault... By the way, if you want to rescue those companions who are missing in an unknown space, you will have to pay extra."

“…This is indeed a problem.”

After hearing what Stefal said, Fang Zheng decisively gave up the idea. Just as Stefal said, Fang Zheng was not in the mood for such a clichéd flashback scene as "You go quickly, I'm fine", and he did not want to waste time traveling through an unknown space fault to save people... So the best way was not to bring anyone with him.

"What else?"

"I know that you are a very powerful god, Mr. Fang Zheng, but I hope you try not to use your divine power during this journey."

"Why is that?"

Hearing this, Fang Zheng became even more confused. It was understandable that he didn't bring anyone with him, and it would be more convenient for him to do it alone. But wasn't it a bit difficult not to use his divine power?

"Although we, the Planar Merchants, never take risks, we also know a lot of information. Generally speaking, in such a place of death, the planes and worlds inside must have been distorted and destroyed long ago. And the gods who protect them will also die... but they will not really die."

"oh?"

"Just as dead mortals will transform into undead creatures out of their desire to survive, the death of a god is not so easy. Even if its believers are destroyed, its divine domain is defeated, and it itself becomes the remnant of the astral world. But this does not mean that a god is completely extinct. They will roam the border like undead creatures, craving for those vibrant beliefs and divine power... I know you are a very powerful god, but believe me, Mr. Fang Zheng, there are many gods as powerful as you in the astral world, and even they will flee in panic once they encounter those ancient fallen ones."

"Okay, I'll try my best."

I have to admit that the scene described by Stefal still made Fang Zheng feel cold. After all, just thinking about the scene of a huge god degenerating into an undead creature... well, that's enough to creep you out.

It would be even worse if he came for me.

"But...what about magic?"

"I'm sorry to tell you that the effect of magic will gradually weaken in the outer world. In many cases, you won't even be able to cast spells. In short, please pay attention to this."

"This is really tough, but luckily I have a solution."

But fortunately, Fang Zheng is good at both science and magic, and he has to be good at both. He can't use divine power, so he just prepares some Duoliu Zheng.

And aren’t there Restia and Esther?

"The last point is..."

"What?"

"I'm not sure if I can take you to your destination, Mr. Fang Zheng. After all, I've never been there, so..."

"Don't worry about that, I can take care of it."

Fang Zheng possesses the Seal of Order, so he can naturally tell which is the core activation area.

"Then I have no problem."

"I do have a question."

Now it was Fang Zheng's turn to ask questions.

"Isn't there a safer route?"

According to Stifal, the uncertainty of this journey was so great that Fang Zheng was a little nervous. In addition, the Star Realm was a spiritual world, and the role played by machines was basically zero. For example, when Fang Zheng traveled to the Star Realm before, he always brought the Blue Fleet with him. The reason was that the mental model was at least a soul body. If it was just a simple warship, it would be no different from scrap metal in the Star Realm and could not be moved at all.

“…”

This time, Stifal was silent for a long time.

"Originally, there was. If you wanted to take a safer route, Sigil City, the capital of all gates, would be a good choice."

"But?"

Fang Zheng knew that it was definitely not a good thing. Stifal did not choose this path for himself, and there must be some difficult problems involved.

"There are two reasons. First, any god is strictly prohibited from entering Sigil. Second, not long ago, a powerful being tried to break into Sigil by force, but was blocked by the Lady of Pain. The two sides fought, and as a result, Sigil was half destroyed. It is currently completely closed, and no one is allowed to enter..."

"……All right."

Fang Zheng was at a loss.

Although this trip was full of constraints and difficulties, Fang Zheng was not completely unable to solve these problems. For example, weapons. Although the Star Realm could not use purely mechanical creations, simple weapons were still lethal. In addition, Fang Zheng also asked his own Queen of Insects for a few eggs - since he could not use giant ships, cannons and multiple turrets, it would be nice to have a sea of ​​insects to clean up the land. Moreover, the fungal blanket of the insect swarm also had the function of suppressing the spread of chaos and order, and the effect was also very good.

Of course, Fang Zheng did not forget to take the two girls with him and put them in his backpack.

In the end, Fang Zheng got a key and a star map that came out of the crystal skull's mouth.

"This is a key that merchants in our dimension often use. When you find the right door, this key will automatically light up, and it will guide you to open the door to the place you want to go, and then bring you into that dimension. Of course, this key is not completely accurate, but this is the only help I can provide. Finally, I hope you can come back safely."

"Don't worry, I'm sure."

Before leaving, Fang Zheng naturally said hello to the other girls and said that he was going on a long journey. The girls were not surprised by this. Xiao Hei and Illya even pestered Fang Zheng to go with them, but considering the trouble of the journey, Fang Zheng refused their request.

Illya seemed very disappointed about this, but she still obeyed obediently. Instead, Xiao Hei made an unspoken gesture to Fang Zheng and said to him with a smile, "You must bring back a few more sisters this time"... Well, Fang Zheng said he would try his best.

The reason why everyone was so calm was because of Fang Zheng's way of acting. Although he would stay in other places for a long time every time he went out, because of the Time Dragon's ability to manipulate time, Fang Zheng actually did not stay away for long in the eyes of everyone.

For example, if Fang Zheng goes from point A to point B and stays at point B for a hundred years, and then returns to point A, Fang Zheng can set himself to jump directly from the timeline to one week after his departure. In this way, in the eyes of others, Fang Zheng just went on a business trip for a week and then went straight home, and naturally there will be no feeling of being separated for many years.

And because Fang Zheng is the Time Dragon, as the only existence in time and space, he will not cause the paradox caused by time travel like Tokisaki Kurumi. No matter which timeline Fang Zheng jumps to, there will only be one of him, and there will not be a situation like Harry Potter or other worlds where one has to be careful not to be discovered by the self in the timeline at that time.

This is also the reason why Fang Zheng can have a large harem without being overwhelmed. The title of time management master is not undeserved.

After saying hello to his little girls, Fang Zheng left the Tiandao Palace. At the same time, in front of the crystal skull, a blue portal was already waiting there.

"I will let this bone box accompany you, but I'm sorry, for safety reasons, I will not be joining this trip."

"I understand that businessmen are not risk takers."

Fang Zheng was not surprised by Stefal's answer. He nodded and looked at the portal in front of him.

"I have set the initial coordinates to the outer world... I need to remind you again, Mr. Fang Zheng. This is not just an adventure, a journey. In a sense, it is a smuggling... You must hold your breath and hide yourself carefully to survive the obsessions of those crazy death gods and the space storms. Not to mention the giant beasts and greedy races living in the starry sea. Even a plane merchant will not easily risk stepping into such a chaotic place."

"I'm ready. I think... it shouldn't be a problem."

Fang Zheng once again took a look at the various items stored in his space, including transportation, weapons and ammunition, food supplies...

Well, that should be fine.

"Then...I wish you all the best."

At the same time, the oval blue portal disappeared instantly.
