There was some distance from Eternal Heaven's storage site to the entrance of the War God Hall. It was impossible to predict what the other side might do along that stretch, and it could not be observed from outside.

This would deepen the Federation's hatred and wariness toward Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect. If Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect truly stole Eternal Heaven, the Federation would likely have to reconsider whether to continue carrying out the special operation against them.
