Being stuck on that planet was not their long term plan, but leaving the star system was not going to be easy. The Divine Storm around Star Cluster X did not show any signs of abating, and while the stars looked peaceful, as soon as Hao Ren left the system's gravitational sphere, it would trigger an energy surge within the area.
