"Hahaha, you don't need to worry about my business. Are those three people behind you new here? By their look and outfit, they don't seem to be from Canglan Star."

The man questioned, with his legs on the table, casually glanced at Baiyu and the others.

However, Baiyu had cast an illusion technique on Shi Yixian and Qiong Jiu.

To outsiders, their faces appeared shrouded in a mist, making it difficult to discern their true features.

This isn't unusual.

In the universe, there are many ways to conceal one's appearance, and most people have a few tricks up their sleeves; it's nothing surprising.

"They're major clients. I'm taking them to meet the boss. Is he in the back?"

Xiao Mot lowered his voice.

The man nodded. "The boss is in the back discussing business with others. You should be fine going now."

With this reply,

Xiao Mot didn't hesitate and led Baiyu and the others toward the back door.

They went up several flights of stairs.

The trio arrived on the sixth floor of the tavern.

The hallway was lined with numerous closed wooden doors, but at the end was one door that looked quite different from the others.

Xiao Mot knocked on the door with a pattern of three long and one short taps.

Soon,

the door swung open, and a burly man, as robust as a bear, emerged and scrutinized Baiyu and the others.

Just as he was about to speak,

he suddenly felt dizzy, unable to remember what he wanted to say, and staggered back.

In the room,

between two sofas stood a long table with a technological feel.

A metal box was placed on it.

At the moment, two middle-aged men sat on the sofas, conversing about something that seemed to be a transaction.

The sudden intrusion of three people.

Instantly froze the atmosphere.

Click.

The man on the sofa wanted to draw his gun but was stopped by an invisible force, preventing the thought from forming.

Given Baiyu's current level of spiritual strength,

dealing with Martial Artists of this level didn't require physical action; mere spirituality could alter their thoughts and intentions.

He wasn't specialized in this art.

Otherwise, even High Tier Meteor or Eclipse Moon Realm individuals would be affected.

Baiyu's spirituality spread out, quickly controlling the room's situation, leaving everyone with confused expressions.

Baiyu gazed at the two middle-aged men sitting opposite each other on the sofas.

These were the highest-ranking individuals in the room.

The one on the left, according to Xiao Mot's memory, was the "Iron-handed Jack" he spoke of.

Baiyu forcibly read his memories.

Though it would cause brain damage to the subject, the man was the murderous and trafficker leader of a gang.

Even if he killed him outright, it wouldn't matter.

From his memories, it was evident that Iron-handed Jack controlled the region's gray business.

Canglan Star is a neglected planet in the Chaotic Star Realm, under the Augustine Clan, but lacking scarce resources, it serves only as a port planet for passing merchant ships.

Hence, on this planet,

the forces from the Human Galactic Imperial and Augustine Clan are scarce.

Anarchy prevails here.

Even the Planet Governor of Canglan Star is merely a third-generation member of the Augustine Clan, protected as long as they pay sufficient protection money.

Therefore, there are many gangs like Iron-handed Jack on this planet.

Yet,

Iron-handed Jack seems to rely on someone, having a higher-level controller who occasionally gives him tasks.

These memories, however, were vague.

Even deep memory reading provided little useful information.

Baiyu abandoned the idea of digging deeper into their memories, turning to Qiong Jiu and Shi Yixian: "Continuing recklessly won't benefit us; we should hide here and understand the situation before planning further.

The people on the Legendary Ship don't need to disembark for now."

The two nodded, evidently agreeing with Baiyu's decision.

In an unknown situation, acting blindly would be extremely dangerous.

...

During the following days, Baiyu settled quickly, familiarizing himself with everything.

To be honest,

The Galaxy Imperial's knowledge base was immense, and even through Spirit Realm traversal, leaving this Star Realm was challenging.

Numerous planets form a Star Realm.

Numerous Star Realms form a Nebula.

And finally, it's the Galaxy.

A tiny planet is like a drop of water in such a massive group.

Each planet,

Has its unique customs, language, and various affairs.

To understand them entirely is a colossal task, nearly impossible in a lifetime.

Baiyu only chose the essentials.

Books covering imperial forces, distribution, and common knowledge.

This information was cheap, and Baiyu accessed it with Iron-handed Jack's account, spending little to browse databases connected to countless planets.

Integrating into this world,

is quite simple; obtaining an account connected to the Galactic Imperial's main database grants access to most human-populated places.

However,

Many "Primitive Planets" remain undeveloped or undiscovered.

The vast Galaxy hides many secrets.

Not everywhere has been explored.

The universe's dark depths harbor too many mysteries.

"Besides needing an identity account, there's also the issue of beliefs."

Baiyu glanced at the mechanical reader in his hand.

Continuing to gain insight into this expansive empire's common knowledge.

Seven Gods Church.

Still stands tall.

Preaching on respective territories with distinct zone divisions.

Places like Blue Star, where all seven beliefs exist, are rare; a planet may have two or three overlapping beliefs, but often one dominates.

Moreover,

Apart from the Galactic Imperial's center, a unique continent within the Star Sea hosts all seven beliefs concurrently; elsewhere, typically only one Divine Spirit belief prevails on a planet.

Baiyu was transported by Scar God's scar.

Hence, generally,

Surrounding planets all worship Scar God.

"In the Galaxy Imperial, joining a church offers many conveniences, including access to church teleportation gates, supplies at church facilities, resource mobilization, and protective help when endangered.

Scar God... its primary doctrine is war and conquest; as a believer, I can choose a 'Cleaner' role."

Baiyu contemplated his next steps.
