Sam went back to his cottage in the resort so that he can finish his tailoring thing. He has a lot to do in that aspect. He started fixing his coat.

After it was done, he took out the Naga scales he got from the Blood mutants. There are the thing and flexible and have a crystallized structure and appearance.

He took out some Heavenly Silk and fire meteorite sand. He started working on something new. As for why he wanted it, it was not because it is helpful for him. But it is just because, he liked how it looked and it could be an extra layer of protection for the chest part that was not being protected by the coat. He was being constantly targeted there and he has been looking for proper material to cover it.

And after checking the scales of these blood mutants, he finally got what he needed. The scales turned out to be a variant of blood essence and it has more properties than the blood Iron, but it is similar.

From the research records, the more mutation they undergo and the more blood they consume, the larger the scales they have and the scales are there not because they are a part of mutation, they are the output of the extra blood essence that shouldn't be consumed by the body. It will be deposited along with the blood iron on their scales and they grow larger and larger as they continue their evolution through the blood.

Sam was thinking about what to do with them for a long time. But after the ambush of the golems and the Owls, he finally got an idea. He needs an independent shield that could act properly. If it was normal cultivators, he might have been able to use the intimidation and other factors to deal with them and have taken less damage.

But the Golems and the Owls are dumb as rocks and he couldn't use them. He realized that if he get swarmed by a bunch of puppets, he would be having serious trouble. Particularly, when he thinks on his feet and tried to use those dumb things against his opponents and couldn't blast everything around him.

A new gadget could help him to things like that.

But for that, he couldn't do it in a single day, he has to do slowly play with this thing. Because, he is trying to use a method he never tried and has little to do with modern technology. It has too many elements that he never used before and has to practice a lot.

But he didn't go to the divine dimension this time. He just sat in the breeze coming from the beach and tried to think of the ideas.

After finishing the coat and a basic design he went to capital to meet with the emperor.

When he arrived at the meeting, he saw more people than he imagined.

Apart from the emperor and the crown prince, Yodha is also there along with two other men and one of them looked almost Sam as Yodha.

Sam greeted the Emperor and took a seat, before the attendants left and the emperor spoke.

"I think, Lokesh must have explained to you about the Union dimension. I will go straight to the point.

In Naga Loka, there are six planets that has access to this Union dimension and in every planet there would be two entrances to the dimension.

One of them was currently under the joint command of the Six empires and the another one is command of another organization which you would know about it in a few minutes.

The thing is, the Union is as big as an empire and it is hard to explore. And it is divided into layers according to cultivation stages and there are three layers in total.

Nascent, Pre-transcendent and Transcendent.

The layout of the three layers is more or less the same, the only difference being the resources available.

The Union is given to us so that we can improve ourselves and the ancestor who ascended to the higher realms sends some things into the Union so that we can explore, acquire and use them to get better.

Generally, the six planets' cultivators fight for the resources themselves. Did you get a general idea on how this works?"

Sam nodded his head.

"Okay, now I will explain what our problem is.

The layout of the dimension is in such a way that there are some pre-made castles inside that dimension. And every castle was full of various resources. Most of the castles are explored and occupied and of course there are some place which are unexplored.

Currently, of all the explored castles the six planets didn't have much difference in the territory they hold.

At random times, some space cracks appear in the dimension and new resources will enter in one way or another. They might be a tower and trials or a direct treasure for which everyone would fight to death for.

But there are some castles that are occupied by another organization which is also the one that is holding the other gate of this planet.

The organization is called Union sect and it consists of fugitives from all the six planets. This organization houses, the most talented assassins, thieves, frauds and any kidnappers or any other type of criminal you can think of.

And this sect has branches in all three layers and they keep their position in the Union as the base. Not just that, we came to know that they hold the second gate in every other planet and their selection standards are also high.

They offer a great deal of services in all six planets and they also hold some of the most resourceful points within the dimension.

Now, this Union organization is going on a war with the base of our planet and we need you help regarding that."

"What kind of war is it?"

"They are attacking our members as long as they can catch them. Many people died in the past few months, they also occupied some resource points and even ruined our chances in some trials.

The situation is same in all three layers and we have people to make things straight in the Pre-transcendent and transcendent layers, but the Nascent layer which also has the most chaotic mess doesn't have anyone to take care of.

So, I want your help to take care of it."

"Why did it start?"

"Because the sect has plans regarding this from a long time ago and they want to rule the Union dimension from a long time ago.

And they are going after us, because there was a conflict between us due to our territories being close. As for why the rest of the planets don't want to cooperate, they are so sure that they can win this by themselves and they are taking advantage of the situation not just by eliminating us as one of the competitors, they could also gain a measure of the strength the Union sect has.

That is why we are in this perilous situation."

"If I get you out of this, what am I gaining?"

"You can name your terms."

"Okay then, what are you gaining?"

"We are preserving our territory in the Union." The Emperor replied directly.

"And?"

"What do you mean?"

"Your Highness, I am not a three year old. Do you really want me to believe that if I, as a representative of your nation get the Nagas out of this situation, you are not getting anything from the rest of the five nations?"

Everyone in the room is dumbfounded.

"You don't have to know anything related to that. It is your responsibility as a soldier to go in there if you are asked to. The Emperor is being generous by offering you to name your terms. Don't be greedy."

Sam looked at the man who replied and said.

"My dear Minister of Foreign affairs, for your information, I quit being the soldier as of three days ago and even if I didn't, your talk would work on normal soldiers not on me. I would like to what I am helping you getting so that I can demand a suitable price. If you really want to use me for granted and make me a bargaining chip without knowing it, then I am sorry."

"The terms are still under talks and you can name the price after the task is over depending on what we get. But you prepare to leave as soon as possible."

The Emperor replied and Sam shook his hand in agreement and left the room after asking them to compile and provide him any form of information they have regarding the Union dimension and the sect.

For the next three days he stayed in the capital and worked on his new project and waited for the call to go in.

And he is also happy that he doesn't have to think too much about getting what he wants from the other planets.

Two days ago, he was thinking of going to other planets blindly and trying his luck, but now he got himself an opportunity to go there without much problem. He is extremely excited and relieved at the same time.

After three days, the Crown prince and Yodha accompanied him along the journey to the supposed gate that leads him to the Union.
