Because of the divine intervention brought by the Mountain Elder, Byron's objectives for this visit have deviated significantly from the initial plan.
Instead of a simple alliance with the Fire Worship Empire and seeking an opportunity to interfere in the affairs of the Holy Spirit Sect, it has transformed into a plot to seize the Three Religions Sacred City and become the Holy Spirit Sect's "Caliph," on par with the Pope.
Of course, it is only possible when he ascends to the Sixth Order and becomes a genuine Holy Spirit, allowing him to rely on the Rank of the Creator's Trinity to appoint a true [Caliph].
For now, it remains just a phase of his "fake it till you make it, shell up for listing" plan.
Thus, Byron and his grand fleet stayed in the Fire Worship Empire for another three days to arrange the follow-up plans. Only after the western branch of the Demonic Banquet Council was on track did they begin their return voyage.
