The journey from the Jobri System to the Lago System had no direct hyperspace route connecting it. To avoid the planets where the Kilik Swarm bred, Sefrans Tann and Selendis had to plot a circuitous course.
The waypoints along this route had to change constantly, because hyperspace routes in the Unknown Regions were inherently complex and ever-changing.
Within the fleet, every Kingdom of Dawn warship had a Holy Advent Cult navigator aboard. To align with the missionary work in Chiss territory, Holy Advent Cult navigators were also called Skywalkers.
In truth, the Chiss leaned toward rationalism and had little interest in religion. That was why, despite the Illumine Kingdom of Kilji having existed near Chiss territory for so many years, it had never managed to spread its Light God Cult into Chiss territory.
But the Holy Advent Cult was different. The reason it had managed to put down roots and flourish in Chiss territory was precisely because of the Skywalkers.
Chiss territory originally had very few Skywalkers, and their lives were short. Most died young from excessive physical strain at or before the age of thirteen. This was the fundamental bottleneck restricting the Chiss from exploring and expanding through the Unknown Regions.
So, when the Chiss discovered that the Holy Advent Cult could mass-produce Skywalkers and even resolve the issues of their physical condition and lifespan, the rational barrier in their hearts began to crack. Their attitude toward the Holy Advent Cult shifted from rejection and wariness to acceptance, even dependence.
Now, more than 90 percent of spacecraft travel in Chiss territory relied on the Holy Advent Cult's Skywalkers!
Moreover, the Holy Advent Cult was preparing to carry out a Population Census in Chiss territory together with Governor Shien Morabito. Shien Morabito was naturally very willing to push this forward,
