Li Wentian and the Great Demon traveled with Chen to Opera Star, a peaceful entertainment planet where violence was forbidden and visitors were welcomed with extravagant performances. After ten days stuck in a traffic jam, they chose to land at the star harbor, which offered free entry and consumption vouchers.
