However, after takeoff, Senju felt relieved. A map unfolded on one of the spaceship's screens, continuously expanding as the flight progressed.

On another screen, an image of Earth appeared, and Senju realized that the entire planet seemed to be wearing two small white caps, with only the middle part remaining blue.

Chapter 303 Planets and Fairies

“This is a beautiful planet,” Swan said, gazing at the pictures with fascination. Compared to the gray and barren world he had known, this place was as dazzling as a jewel. “Could you show me around?”

“Of course, Your Excellency the Great Sage,” Thousand Hands then flew around following Swan’s directions.

While Thousand Hands and Swann were gathering intelligence on Earth, William and Ctholly went to find Asya and the others. Normally, the two would be quickly exposed if they were inside the airship, but everyone was busy building the camp, and William and Ctholly were wearing high-class military uniforms, so no one paid them any attention.

William asked several soldiers passing by, but none of them knew anything about Athena and Ren. So the two decided to go find Gray Rock Skin first, since as a first-class military officer, he should know about the fairies.

When Gray Rock Skin saw the two of them, he was surprised. "Neither of you are on the list of this survey team. Why are you here?"

“Ah, through various means,” William said vaguely. “Well, anyway, we’re here because we have something to discuss with Athena and Ren.”

“They’re in the lounge now,” Gray Rock Skin said, then looked seriously at Chtholly. “According to the rules, Fairy Soldiers cannot leave Floating Island No. 68 at will.”

“Of course we know that, but Chtholly is no longer a fairy soldier,” William replied firmly from the side, “so it’s her freedom to go wherever she wants.”

“I see. I’ve received the report too, but it’s still hard to believe,” Gray Rock Skin said, looking at Chtholly. “It seems the number of fairy soldiers has been reduced to five again.”

"Wait, five people?" William asked, puzzled, and started counting. "Ctholly, Nephren, Esther, and Tiathe, isn't that four people?"

"Ah," Chtholly exclaimed from the side, "By the way, William doesn't know yet."

"What?" William looked at the two people beside him who had expressions of understanding. "Am I wrong?"

“No, there are five of us now, not counting me. William has only been in the warehouse for a month, so he might not know. We also have two other partners,” Chtholly said with a mischievous smile. “Landoruko Iseri Hestoria and Noft K. Disperatio.”

“Disperatio?” William’s attention shifted to something strange. “Um, is this the holy sword that Noft uses?”

"Well, as you know, our fairy soldiers' names are meant to be paired with suitable ancient weapons. What's wrong with Noft's ancient weapons?" Chtholly asked, noticing William's sudden dejection.

William shook his head. "It's nothing. Maybe I'm overthinking it. By the way, where are they now? I'd like to see them."

“They are on a mission on the ground now, like the two goblin soldiers,” Grayrock Skin said from the side, “but there are many dangerous beasts in the ground world, while it is very peaceful here.”

“Is that so?” William’s expression turned sour, but when he saw the worried Chtholly beside him, he forced a smile. “Don’t worry, I just thought of something. By the way, let’s go see Athena and the others.”

The two then bid farewell to Gray Rock Skin and headed towards Athena and the others. Although there were guards at the entrance, they had received orders not to stop them.

After knocking on the door, a wary Athena appeared inside. She was then pleasantly surprised because it was someone she knew, and she happily led the two of them into the house.

"Lian, look who's here!" As soon as Asya entered, she called out playfully to Nephren. Nephren slightly raised her head, and William raised his hand in response, "Yo, Lian, how's it going here?"

“Very good,” Nephren replied softly. The two newcomers looked at her.

The table was covered with snacks and comics, and her eyes twitched slightly. "This is really nice. Are there any enemies here?"

"Forget about enemies, there isn't even a single bug," Asya said, lying dejectedly in her chair. "I heard someone caught some bugs here, only to find out they were brought over from an airship. It was a complete false alarm. Thanks to that, we can only rest here now."

“Well, let’s just treat it as a vacation. The last mission was quite tiring,” Chtholly smiled beside her. “Lan and Noft went up to the surface, and it’s not as leisurely as it is here.”

“That makes sense. I wonder how Lan and Noft are doing. They would be so surprised if they knew you were still alive, Chtholly,” Asya laughed, seemingly imagining their surprised expressions.

“You have such a twisted sense of humor,” Chtholly shook her head helplessly. “But Lan is too…”

"Don't worry, although I don't know how it is, the guard duty is still quite easy," Athena said nonchalantly.

However, while Athena and the others were chatting here, Landoruko and her group also arrived at a ruin to carry out guard work. Grik's exploration team came for this ruin, although the environment there was much harsher than here.

Meanwhile, Thousand Hands and Swan also began their return journey. By flying around the Earth several times, Swan constructed a magical map that looked like a globe made of projections, which could be freely enlarged and shrunk.

He took out a crystal ball and put the map inside, intending to use it as a reference for future exploration.

Senju looked at the dignified old man and didn't know how to start a conversation. The old man's dignified expression throughout the journey made Senju dare not joke. By the way, the old man was a near-hero in his day, similar to William, which means he was also someone who could kill a Star God.

“Thank you so much for showing me this place and giving everyone new hope,” the Great Sage said to Senju with respect. Senju hurriedly waved his hand, “Don’t say that. I just don’t want this world to fall into silence. I hope it can return to its prosperous state.”

“I have also seen that there is not much life left on this beautiful planet, so I assure you that I will make it full of life and vitality,” the Great Sage assured him.

"Well, I'm leaving this place to you. I hope for a bright future," Senju said solemnly, then thought of something, "By the way, now that the beasts are no longer a threat, could I recruit those fairies?"

“Without beasts here, the production of goblin soldiers will also stop,” Swan said with a hint of guilt. “So when people all live here, the goblins’ mission will be complete, and then they will be free.”

Chapter 304 The Thousand Hands Who Don't Take After-Sales Service

Senju was still somewhat dissatisfied with Swan's vague answer, but seeing his guilty look, he didn't say anything more. The treatment he received was very high, enough to attract fairies, as long as no one stopped him.

The two then headed toward the headquarters where Gray Rock Skin was located. Along the way, Swan was still savoring the speed of the spaceship he had just witnessed. "Your spacecraft is really fast, but the color isn't very good. It would have been better if it had been painted white."

“Well, if the Great Sage likes it, we can make an exchange. I’m also very interested in magical items,” Thousand Hands said, looking at the Great Sage expectantly, hoping he would bring out some precious magical items.

“Then I’ll trade my airship for these three amulets,” Swan said, pulling out three pieces of iron from his person. “Destiny Guardian, Time Displacement, Plane Barrier—these are all top-tier treasures, even more precious than ordinary holy swords.”

“Oh,” Thousand Hands exclaimed in surprise. It sounded amazing. Then Swan explained, “Destiny Guardian can resist spells like curses, Time Displacement can make people jump out of this time period to avoid powerful attacks, and Dimensional Barrier is a spatial wall to deal with long-term attacks. These will activate automatically as long as you wear them.”

"This is such a convenient item! Is it alright to give me such a precious amulet?" Thousand Hands quickly took it, then watched as Swan laughed heartily. "It's alright, I am a great sage, I will make more whenever I have time."

Then he stopped laughing, "And after coming here, there will be no more wars for a long time. What I'm worried about is whether there will be a scene of various races fighting each other in the future."

“It seems very likely. After all, they are intelligent life forms, and fighting is basically in their nature. Moreover, there are also…” Thousand Hands suddenly realized that he hadn’t told Swan about those powerful weapons before sending him here with people. It felt like he had led the people of the floating continent into a fire pit.

"What else?" Swan asked seriously when he saw Thousand Hands suddenly freeze. "Is it related to the extinction of species here?"

“That’s right, I’m talking about the weapons made by the humans here – nuclear bombs. The original principle is to obtain endless energy through nuclear reactions, but they are even more powerful when made into bombs,” Thousand Hands said worriedly. “In that case, many years later, life here will repeat the same mistakes.”

"What kind of weapon is that? Are there any ways to counter or defend against it?" Swan asked seriously. He only understood that it was a powerful bomb, but he didn't understand what it was.

What is it.

“I don’t know any of that. I only know that nuclear bombs are very powerful, and people affected by them will basically die,” Thousand Hands said, shaking his head. Then, thinking of the Mushroom People’s activities, he breathed a sigh of relief. “Fortunately, the Mushroom People are now handling the dangerous nuclear bombs on Earth, and the two sides cannot communicate using different languages, so there’s no need to worry about anyone discovering the manufacturing method.”

“That’s not necessarily true,” Swan said with a serious expression. “Since it exists, it will be discovered sooner or later, so I need to prepare in advance.”

"Well, that's definitely a long time from now," Senju said, regaining his composure. Maybe he'd be off to another world in a few days, and the people here wouldn't be his concern anymore.

With mixed feelings, the two arrived at Gray Rock Skin's workplace and saw Shion and Gray Rock Skin discussing a problem there. Senju, on the other hand, made an excuse to go to Asya's room to see if William and the others had arrived yet.

Upon entering Woods, Senju found William and Chtholly already there, chatting happily. Asya saw Senju enter, she quickly called out, "Senju, I remember you said you'd take me on a tour of the space. When are you going to keep your promise?"

"Huh, did I say that?" Senju was full of question marks, but then he looked at Asya's sullen face and had no choice but to admit it, "Yes, yes, I said it, you can now!"

“No need to rush, after all, we’re at work right now,” Athena smiled contentedly, but looking at the snacks and comics on the table, there was no work atmosphere at all.

“Alright, you can come anytime you’re free,” Senju reluctantly agreed. “But the area inside is huge. Which part do you want to see? Mountains, rainforests, deep sea, snowfields, caves—it’s all there.”

“Hmm~” Asya fell into thought for a while before speaking, “The first place I want to visit is that mountain that looks so tall and has several layers.”

“Mountain? You mean city?” Senju thought for a moment before realizing. “It’s a huge place with all sorts of fun things to do. Aiseya really has good taste.”

“Well, such a big building, everyone noticed it at first glance,” William complained from the side, and then asked Senju, “But it has developed really fast. I remember it was very small at first.”

"Well, I went through all sorts of hard work to create this size. To put it bluntly, it's much bigger than the entire floating continent," Thousand Hands said proudly from the side. "Now you can't even see the boundary, which means it's infinitely big."

“Uh, that sounds so fake,” Asya looked at Senju with suspicion. The three people next to her nodded in agreement. No one mentioned the matter of using Senju’s space to raise the people on the floating continent.

After all, the people just discussed it, and neither the Thousand Hands nor the people on the Floating Continent would agree. One reason was that their things had been occupied, and the other was that they were worried that their lives would be in the hands of others.

"Really?" Senju hurriedly explained, but then looked at the four of them and seemed a little discouraged. "Never mind, you'll find out when you visit later."

“Yes, we’re looking forward to it,” Nephren said, a rare occurrence for her to speak. Everyone around her nodded in agreement. Then William added, “It’s about time now, so we’ll head back now and come see you again next time.”

"Okay, come earlier next time," Asya said goodbye to the group with a smile. Senju let the two of them enter the space before leaving. The guards outside were always surprised as to why two people were suddenly missing from the room.

A while after leaving, Thousand Hands received a message that the Great Sage wanted to see him. Following the instructions, Thousand Hands went to Gray Rock Skin's workshop and saw Swan saying goodbye to Gray Rock Skin. "I'll leave the situation here to you. I will gradually transfer the people from the floating continent here."

Then he saw Thousand Hands come in. "I'll need your help when I get back this time. Also, please take the spaceship there. My airship will be delivered in a few days."

Chapter 305 Undercurrents

"Uh, okay, let's set off now," Senju said, slightly surprised, but immediately agreed. He simply put the two groups in different locations.

However, contrary to what Thousand Hands had imagined, Swann returned alone this time. His disciples were still working here, and the new spaceship made it easier for him to go back.

After imagining it, Thousand Hands and Swan arrived at the portal. Swan looked at the portal with great interest and asked Thousand Hands about its workings, but Thousand Hands didn't understand either, only that it was usable.

Swan didn't ask any more questions. After entering the Thousand Hands' space, the Thousand Hands also returned to its original world through the door. As the Thousand Hands disappeared, a group of people immediately ran out to measure various data.

After arriving here, Senju first released Ctholly and William. "Hey William, take Ctholly out first. Swan is inside."

"Ah, I understand," William said, not wanting Shion to discover that he had wandered off, and quickly went outside through the iron gate opened by Senju.

After seeing the two run far away, Thousand Hands opened the entrance to the space for the Great Sage, who slowly walked out. "Is the teleportation over? This is amazing technology."

"You're too kind," Thousand Hands said, shaking his head guiltily. "By the way, William is right here. Would you like to meet him?"

"Forget it, this time..."

"But there are many things to take care of, so let him rest here for a while," Swan shook his head, then a hint of guilt appeared on his face. "Besides, I caused this tragedy, and I find it hard to face these children."

"Then I'll take you outside. And how to pilot the spaceship..." Senju was a little troubled. The method was simple, but the language barrier was a big problem.

“Don’t worry, I’ve checked. Your spaceship is a purely mechanical construct. I can control it with metal magic,” Swan said smugly, his figure fading as he stood there. “By the way, illusion magic is also very useful so the children won’t find out.”

"Oh, please teach me this technique!" Thousand Hands exclaimed from the side, then heard Swan cough a few times. "I didn't use it for anything bad, cough cough. Okay, let's leave here first."

With a tacit understanding, Thousand Hands led Swan away from there. After a while, the two arrived at a slope, where Swan finally revealed himself. "Let's stay here. I'll modify the spaceship first, and then go back for further processing."

“Okay,” Thousand Hands placed the small spaceship on the slope, and Swan chanted a spell. After the spaceship shook for a while, it quieted down and then floated gently.

"What kind of magic is this?" Thousand Hands asked curiously. Swan replied happily, "This is a metal-based activation spell. It can give simple intelligence to mechanical creations that are pierced by magic, making them easier for people to control. However, the success rate for magical items has always been very low. I never used it on my original airship."

“I see,” Thousand Hands looked at Swan with some anticipation, then laughed for a while. “Don’t worry, there are operators on the airship, and the magic related to illusion, metal, and those that remove control from fairies will be sent over as well.”

"Thank you so much," Senju said excitedly. Then Swan left in his spaceship. Where Senju couldn't see him, Swan sighed bitterly, but his expression immediately returned to seriousness.

Two or three days later, Senju saw Swan's airship arrive. However, after getting his hands on it and taking a look around, Senju found that he had no interest in using the airship. Apart from its good appearance, it was basically useless. Moreover, he didn't want to care about the operators on it, since they were cat maids, not cat-eared maids.

Thousand Hands made a copy of the airship and kept it as a keepsake. Then he gave William the right to use the airship so that it would be more convenient for him when he went out to buy groceries.

After passing the troublesome matters to others, Senju began creating memory crystals for his new magic. Although he couldn't use the newly learned magic for the time being, he already had a concept of it. He casually tossed the fairy control magic to Nigoran for her to break, and then went off to play.

During these past few days, no airships from other factions have appeared, seemingly still preparing supplies and personnel. Thousand Hands waited leisurely here, and in the meantime, he began practicing various small magic tricks. With the power of the Star God, he discovered that he could already use some basic magic, such as lighting fires with his fingertips and chilling drinks.

Just when Senju thought he could spend his days leisurely here, Nigoran suddenly ran out and pulled him into the house. Before Senju could think much about it, he saw two people with worried expressions in the house.

"What happened, William?" Thousand Hands asked from the side, judging from their panicked appearance, something serious must have happened.

William slowly began, "The tiger ear grass conducting research on the ground was attacked by beasts, and the Winged Army headquarters has ordered us to send people to rescue it."

"Is it Chtholly who should go?" Senju's expression also turned serious. Chtholly was no longer considered part of the Winged Army, yet they still gave this order.

“It wasn’t me,” Chtholly slowly shook her head. “The person they wanted to expel was Tiathe.”

“Tiathe, how is this possible?” Senju was also somewhat stunned. Sending a ten-year-old girl to the battlefield was simply too crazy. Although Chtholly and the others were only thirteen or fourteen years old, he said coldly, “In that case, just report back to headquarters that we have no one to send.”
