Jin Luosha originally hailed from a lineage of merchants, but her family was destroyed when she was young, and she was adopted by Chen Xuanfeng. Naturally, she didn’t fully master the intricacies of commerce and profit, but her early exposure and a bit of inheritance in her bloodline still gave her some business acumen. After seeing mountains of goods stacked high in several towns, she couldn’t help but ask Chen Xuanfeng if the orcs had any plans to revive the trade routes.

Chen Xuanfeng was also aware of this.

"Alas, the profits from the north-south trade routes are well-known to all, but as long as the Radiant Temple stands, even if we orcs are unable to further expand our territory, the Mercenary Empire still cannot unilaterally open trade routes to the orcs. Otherwise, they would surely become the enemy of the entire human world. Even if we were to bribe their key ministers and sway the royal family, it would be futile. As for the trade routes beyond the desert, people have been searching for them for hundreds of years, and in the end, only two routes remain: the sea route and the underground world. The underground world is a non-starter; not only are the roads rugged and unable to support large-scale cargo transportation, but one also has to face threats from dark elves and various underground creatures. If one is unlucky enough to run into a black dragon on its rounds, even a caravan of thousands would be doomed. As for the sea route, the Lion Tribe has been trying to open a maritime trade route since they conquered the Viking Empire, but not to mention the obstruction from the southern navy, the 'Death Triangle' that lies across the sea route is simply impassable. Therefore, neither can replace even one ten-thousandth of the role of the north-south desert artery."

The so-called "Death Triangle" is a deadly zone in the western sea of the Mainland, formed by the "Isle of the Undead," the "Devil's Sea," and the "Maelstrom of the Sea Eye," standing in a tripartite balance. The "Isle of the Undead" and the surrounding hundreds of kilometers of sea are teeming with countless ancient undead, and it is said that even dragon liches and death angels reside there. Even a great lich like the "King of the Undead" would be considered a newcomer. Not even the Radiant Temple dares to challenge them, for fear of provoking one or two super ghosts that no one can handle. The "Devil's Sea" spans over a thousand kilometers, perpetually shrouded in fog with countless reefs and undercurrents, and is said to be home to many mysterious monsters, making it impassable even for birds to fly through. If these two places still offer a glimmer of hope, the last place, the "Maelstrom of the Sea Eye," is utterly hopeless. It is a massive whirlpool dozens of kilometers in diameter, formed under the influence of an unknown force, with a core area of several square kilometers of a sea eye void. The immense force not only engulfs the sea surface within a hundred kilometers but also stirs the clouds, forming a towering tornado of clouds that reaches the heavens. Unfortunately, this sea eye is located between the "Isle of the Undead" and the "Devil's Sea," so any fleet trying to bypass this "Death Triangle" and its related danger zones must be prepared to detour three thousand kilometers of sea route. Even our orc's several aquatic orc teams do not have this capability, let alone humans.

"Brother, there is actually another way," Jin Luosha thought for a moment and suddenly said, "In the Styx Tower of the Twelve Sages, there are still a few teleportation arrays that can be used, but the destination coordinate arrays are damaged. Two of them are in the southern Mainland. As long as the external arrays are repaired, the passage can be reopened. Although the flow capacity is not large, if used to transport valuable goods, wouldn't it be better than the desert trade artery?"

Chen Xuanfeng couldn't help but laugh, "Silly girl, don't forget that only your power can activate that teleportation array. Although your current power is no longer a concern, it would still be a loss to bear large-scale material teleportation. The time and mana of a mage of your level are more precious than gold. Besides, do you plan to stay in the 'Styx Tower' as a professional teleportation mage in the future?"

"Hehe, Jin Luosha is not that stupid, but brother, you don't know, actually, that teleportation array can be driven as long as there is enough power, not necessarily mana, so holy power can also work. Moreover, if the power is not withdrawn after activation, it will continue to consume and remain open, so there's no need to stay by its side all the time." Seeing that Chen Xuanfeng was still unclear, Jin Luosha continued to explain, "Although these conditions cannot be met by Jin Luosha now, it will be different if I become a holy swordsman with the help of the 'Holy Lance Quenelion' in the future. Holy fighting spirit is also a form of holy power, enough to support the magic array, and unlimited energy consumption is exactly the ability of a swordsman. The magic array forcibly extracting energy will not cause a physical burden, so in the future, Jin Luosha only needs to lose half of her fighting spirit energy to keep the teleportation array open for a long time. Anyway, Jin Luosha is not good at martial arts, so instead of becoming a fool like Hein who only knows how to squander power, it's better to use the power in a useful place, right? And it's not forever unchanging; the power can be withdrawn at any time."

"Jin Luosha, don't make random suggestions. Establishing the 'Heaven of Saint Love' was a last resort. Now, I just want you to be happy every day. Such military and state affairs naturally have others to think about..."

"Okay, brother, okay, Jin Luosha is also very interested. At least let's go find the ruins of those space teleportation arrays first, so we don't have to run so far in the future. As for whether Jin Luosha will need to contribute in the future, let's talk about it later, okay?"

The girl used her coquettish skills, her snow-white little hands pulling on Chen Xuanfeng's arm and shaking it back and forth, finally wearing him down until he agreed to explore a certain hidden ruin together. However, since Jin Luosha had only read about it in the Styx Tower's documents from hundreds of years ago, finding the location that had long been buried in history in today's environment would be of no use even with the cultivation of a swordsman. In the end, they could only seek help from experts in this field—the Adventurers' Guild.

When the stable authority of a nation is shaken, civilian martial power will flourish doubly. This is true whether it is the Central Plains Great Song of Chen Xuanfeng's previous life or the Xinghai Continent of this life.

Therefore, despite the blocked trade routes, the adventurers gathered on this road have instead become more numerous. The chaos of war has provided them with a fertile ground for freedom. As various countries focus their efforts entirely on the orcs, the control over these civilian martial forces has naturally been greatly reduced. Moreover, warriors who have lost their countries and fled from the west, mercenaries originally responsible for protecting caravans on the trade routes, and passionate youths from all over who are eager to resist the orcs have all joined the ranks of adventurers, injecting powerful new blood into this originally mediocre class.
