Rod originally intended to meet with the Holy Emperor, as he harbored many mysteries and speculations in his heart, which might be revealed partially under the Holy Fire.
Unfortunately, the Holy Emperor was merely "awakened"; the Fire Gate did not open, and he met no one.
The Great Shepherd Leader handed the blessed Fire Spirit Lamp to Rod and said, "You may set off now. As per your request, all members of the expedition team are waiting within the Royal City, with only Solos accompanying you."
Rod nodded, having informed the Great Shepherd Leader that his Spirit Boat could accommodate at most one more person; with more than two people, the divine power consumption would greatly increase, far beyond his current strength to cross a distance of 300,000 kilometers and reach Yanuo.
The best method would be for him to go alone, and once he arrived in Yanuo, he could then open the Teleportation Gate so that no matter how many people wished to come or go, it would not be a problem.
