Sam doesn"t know that there was almost a war in the realms far away from where he was currently.

He was busy doing something in the divine dimension at this moment.

He is currently operating the production unit and making something for the journey. This is a design he came up, on a whim and it uses the spikes of the Sea urchins he got from the Charbhum realm.

By now, Sam has already given a major portion of the resources he got to the various research departments and that includes the stingrays and the Sea urchins. He only kept half of these with him in the divine dimension.

He even gave away some emerald tortoise sh.e.l.ls to see if any researchers can come up with something.

Along with that, he gave the crops he brought from here, rice grains, sugar cane, fruits, and many others. The final thing he gave away is a research project that never got to finish in the Charbhum realm.

It is about the plywood made from the baga.s.se. This is a special wood and it has some great properties that would make it a good armor and its performance will be enhanced when it was worn by a wood elemental user and if it is an elf who wore that, then it would be best fit.

But he already earned enough and he didn"t manage to take this out in time. But he is not worried. It wouldn"t go to waste.

Charbhum realm is not a single realm, it is a subordinate realm and there is a superior realm that controls it.

His organization that is currently growing is going to enter that higher realm soon enough and then he would use this as an entry token. He gave this to researchers to come up with an efficient production method.

After two days, the design and manufacturing are complete and Sam came out. He went to meet the trio and gave the instructions to them and also told them to prepare for the long journey.

Even though they insisted that they would come to Nike with him, he firmly rejected. He doesn"t know what awaits him in that world. He cannot take them and make their group a bigger target.

He already realized G.o.ds, don"t necessarily play fair all the time, in fact they have highest tendency to play dirty as n.o.body other than their peers dares to question them.

And that questioning wouldn"t be enough to shake their arrogance and confidence in their own actions as they are too full of themselves and there is little possibility that their peers will attack them.

If only Sam knew what Gambler did when he was targeted by Hou Yi and Indra.

Sam finished his preparations and he contacted Arman and Arkiv.

This is the first time Sam was given a proper coordinated location. Even though he felt that there might be something happening there, he didn"t worry too much. He still decided to use the same location.

He met with Arman and Arkiv and all three of them decided to move right away.

Sam used the dimensional drifter and disappeared from his office while the remaining two used their dimensional crossers to move, all three of them disappeared in an instant.

Planet Nike.

It is an afternoon at the moment.

In a city carved out of rocks in the middle of lush vegetation, there is a large temple in the center which is also made of the same brown rocks as the city.

Inside the temple, there is a middle-aged man standing around seven feet tall with black wings on his back.

In front of him is a statue of G.o.ddess Nike

He knelt down on the ground as he prayed for some time before leaving the temple. Outside the temple, there are a bunch of young men waiting for him. They are also people of feathered race and they have different colored wings.

"Are all the preparations made for their arrival?" The middle-aged man asked.

"Yes, sir. We have surrounded the forest areas you mentioned and we even laid the formation you gave us. As long as they enter that forest, it would be hard for them not to alert us and nigh impossible to escape from us."

"Don"t let your guard down. We were told not to use the superior cultivators, everyone should be a Pre-transcendent stage cultivator. Even early-stage transcendent stage cultivators are not allowed to make a move when he is outside the inner circle of the city. Only when he comes into the inner circle are you allowed to make a move and even then you have to hold back from killing them.

Also, try your best to not kill them, we were told that there would repercussions if we didn"t do that. Alert all the Pre-transcendent stage cultivators, the people that come here are not at all ordinary, so be alert."

"Yes Sir."

The group dispersed. The Middle-aged man took one last bow towards the temple before leaving to do his duties.

At this exact moment, in the forests of the city, Sam appeared out of nowhere.

As soon as his feet touched the ground though, he felt a bit suffocated and he felt like his whole body froze in the spot.

He was stunned and stumped at the same time.

He tried to take something out of the divine dimension and the spatial rings, but it didn"t work. They are not reacting. His energy is still flowing but it almost felt like mercury flowing through his body.

He felt heavy and restricted at the same time, with great difficulty he activated energy vision and was not so surprised anymore as he detected the spatial lock formation around him.

At this moment, several feathered beings came out of their not-so-good hiding spots.

There is both male and female cultivators and they sized Sam up.

One of the people who is on the younger side looked at Sam in contempt and spoke to the woman who seemed to be the leader of the team.

"Captain, is he really as powerful as our Sire said? He fell for the trap easily."

The woman looked at him coldly and said.

"Shut up."

Then she looked at Sam and spoke.

"You must be Sam. We are ordered to stop you from pursuing your goal. We were also ordered to try not to kill you if it is unnecessary, but it is not completely out of bounds.

If you stay put here with us for a while, there would be no problem at all. If you try to get into the deeper parts of the city, then you would have to deal with the transcendent stage cultivators. Since we already knew of your arrival, then it is impossible for you to finish your task. Stay with us for the rest of the year calmly and we might even let you train for some time and you can return from where you came from."

Sam looked at her calmly and smiled. Even though he is unable to move, he is not exactly worried. The spatial lock is only holding him in place along with the access to the spatial rings and treasures, but not for the elements and their usage. He still has a chance.

"Are you new to this kind of stuff?" Sam asked as he looked at the woman up and down.

She looked at Sam with a frown but still nodded.

"I have some experience with capturing people and me actually quite good at this, let me give you advice.

You never tell your whole plan to the person you captured. If you do, then you are giving him a chance to formulate his own plan to escape.

You never tell him that he has too many chances to live, you have to emphasize the ways he could get killed and constantly remind him so that he stays put in fear."

He looked at them with a smile and was surprised to see they are all listening intently.

But it might them being attentive to whatever he does.

Sam raised his aura all of a sudden.

"It is useless, the formation makes your energy flow dense. You would feel enormous pain. Just give up."

Sam just smiled and his aura rose wildly.

First golden flames came and tried to spread around. But they are restricted as soon as they spread around a radius of two feet.

"I already told you, it is useless. You only damage yourself and the weaker you are the more pressure the spatial lock puts on you."

The golden flames went back and different energy that is completely unfamiliar to the group around them is being released from his body.

"Why are you so concerned with me? Are you afraid that you would be punished if something happened to me?"

Sam asked with a faint smile as energy riled up. They couldn"t understand where all the energy is going and what is happening, but they looked at Sam carefully.

"So, now tell me what would happen to you if I commit suicide? Would your superiors believe you didn"t kill me?"

As soon as he asked this question, the atmosphere became tense.
