Traveling Is a Troublesome Matter

Upon hearing Holan's words, Andres's heart sank, and he began to think about how to respond.

Generally speaking, Middle God shouldn't get too far from Hell; most likely, he'll either be killed by bandits or join a tribe or some other faction along the way.

Therefore, news cannot spread too quickly. After all, even in the original era, with places like the Demon Castle where information could be sold, it would still take hundreds or even thousands of years for a message to spread throughout Hell. In this era where maps are scarce, news spreads even more slowly.

But it's better to be safe than sorry, so it's still good to prepare in advance.

"Leighton, talk to Babatonde and see if you can set up a Boulder Guard Magic Array here at Iron Saber Gorge," Andres said.

"Okay," Leighton replied. His Fire God Clone was in the Dylan Plane and could contact Babatonde.

"Babatonde's Boulder Guard Magic Array is quite good. Let's see if we can improve it so that even Highgod can activate it," Dup said excitedly.

Both being researchers of Magic Array, Dup was very interested in Babatonde.

"Dup is Highgod. If he can successfully activate the Boulder Guard magic array, and the defensive power of the Magic Array can reach ten times that of Highgod Power, then the defense of Iron Saber Gorge should not be a problem," Andres thought to himself.

He planned to take Dup to Somuo City, where Dup had been before and could be of great help.

However, he will leave behind Dup's Water Element High God avatar in case of any unexpected events in Iron Saber Gorge or the Dylan Plane.

After all, Iron Saber Gorge is now his territory.

In case anything happens in the Dylan Plane, as long as Iron Saber Gorge is under his control, he can return at any time via the Plane Teleportation Array.

Next, he learned in detail from Holan about Hamid's group and the situation of the forces near Iron Saber Gorge.

Hamid had nearly a thousand Middle God under his command, and even more Demigod. At this time, most of these God-level expert were collecting Soul Essence in various Material Plane.

"Send them all back. There's no need to invade the Material Plane anymore," Andres ordered Holan.

He had no intention of killing so many lives in the Material Plane, and there must be many geniuses and strong people in the Material Plane now. In the original work, many of the Sovereign who obtained the Sovereign Spark came from the Material Plane, and the strongest of them was the Destiny Sovereign Ofu.

Andres doesn't want to clash with these geniuses right now. His priority is to cultivate and improve his strength while trying to obtain the Innate Divine Ability of the Four Divine Beasts in order to prepare for the struggle for the Sovereign Spark.

"Yes." Upon hearing Andres's order, Holan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. They didn't want to fight in various Material Plane. After the battle in the Dylan Plane, they dared not underestimate the life on the Material Plane. If they encountered a genius like Andres again, they might perish.

Suddenly remembering something, Holan asked, "My lord, occasionally life forms from the Material Plane come here through the Teleportation Array. What should we do with these life forms? Hamid used to tell us to use Soul Control on them and bring them under our command."

Andres thought for a moment and said, "Forget about Soul Control. Tell them about the dangers of Hell and invite them to join. If they are willing, they can join; if not, let them fend for themselves."

"Yes." Holan bowed and accepted the order.

After making the arrangements, Andres planned to set off for Somuo City.

"My lord, I'm all ready." Seeing that Andres was about to set off, Holan quickly called over a Blue-robed Strongman.

The burly man arrived in front of Andres and transformed into a giant blue dragon, its scales crackling with arcs of electricity.

"My lord, his name is Clark. His true form is Thunder Dragon, and he excels at speed. He will take you to Somuo City," Holan said.

Andres looked at the blue dragon in front of him with great surprise.

This Clark is not Metal Life, but Thunder Dragon at the level of a Middle God!

"Could it be that there are no Metal Life in this era?" Andres wondered to himself.

In the original story, Metal Life were the preferred tool for Hell Expert to travel.

Metal Life are extremely fast. The most ordinary Metal Life can fly about a million miles a day, a speed that far exceeds that of Demigod and is even faster than that of ordinary Middle God.

Better Metal Life can travel four to five million miles a day, faster than most Highgod.

Moreover, the Metal Life can change its internal shape at will, allowing many people to live and cultivate inside it in a very comfortable way.

Andres had not anticipated that there were currently no Metal Life in Hell.

He observed the expressions of Dup and the others and found that they all seemed natural and did not find anything strange.

Andres asked indirectly, "When traveling in Hell, do you fly on your own?"

"Yes." Holan paused for a moment, seemingly not understanding why Andres would have such a question.

"Of course, sir, you don't have to fly yourself; you can just sit on Clark's back."

"It seems there really are no Metal Life, at least not here in Iron Saber Gorge," Andres thought to himself.

Since there was nothing there, Andres stopped thinking about it. He flew to the back of the Thunder Dragon and sat down, while Dup's Death God Clone sat behind Andres.

Dup Divine Sense communicated with Clark, telling him the direction of Somuo City.

The Thunder Dragon "Clark" flapped its wings and flew rapidly eastward.

The Thunder Dragon was incredibly fast, the Hell landscape rushing past below, the wind whistling in their ears.

Clark used his divine power to form a shield in front of him, protecting Andres from the oncoming gale.

"Master, Hell is extremely dangerous. Iron Saber Gorge is tens of millions of miles away from Somuo City. My Highgod avatar is not here, so the journey may not be peaceful. Please be prepared," Dup said to Andres.

"Good."

Andres has the memories of the original story and is mentally prepared for the cruelty and danger of Hell.

He also consulted with Holan and Dup and learned that in this era of Hell, although there were not as many powerful beings as in the original story, there were still quite a few Middle God and Demigod, and some Highgod as well.

Hamid and Dup were both powerful Highgod near Iron Saber Gorge.

Traveling tens of millions of miles, you're bound to encounter many powerful individuals.

If Dup's Highgod avatar were present, others would still be wary, but the three of them are currently only Middle God, and they will definitely become targets for some bandits.

"Swish swish"

A series of whooshing sounds rang out as more than a dozen figures blocked Andres two companions' path.

"Hahaha, you three, hand over your Space Ring, or else—"

Before he could finish speaking, a dozen pale blue Wind Blade pierced through the dozen or so figures, shattering their heads and causing their Godhead to float out.

Andres released a divine power, pulling all the Godhead and Space Ring in front of him and storing them in his Space Ring.

"I didn't expect to be caught by bandits so quickly." Andres shook his head helplessly.

These dozen or so bandits were all ordinary Middle God, whom he could kill with a flick of his wrist.

They would travel for two or three days at a time, or as long as half a month, before being attacked.

Most of those who attacked them were Middle God, but they also encountered Highgod three times. However, these were all ordinary Highgod, and Andres successfully killed them all, increasing his wealth by three Highgodhead.

Three years later, Andres finally saw a giant city that spanned a thousand miles.
