Yu Lian stared at Xia Li in utter shock. "So after fusing with the Broodmother Core, even across two million light-years to the New World, the communications delay is at most half a day?"
Xia Li blinked, then her face lit up with delight. "Oh? When you put it that way... Ahaha! That really is how it works, isn't it? I can actually do that now? Ahahaha! Of course! I am the swarm!"
She pointed proudly at the sky again, striking the same "I reign supreme under heaven" pose. Yet something about her expression and tone seemed a little awkward this time, as though she were deliberately trying to hide her embarrassment.
Could it be that you don't understand it either? Yu Lian gave Xia Li a suspicious look.
"They can fold through genetic proteins and use the resonant organs of each lord to vibrate information strings across multiple dimensions. This method isn't particularly efficient. The vibrations of the information strings still have to pass through the Prohibition, what you call the Stargate. But it has the advantage of being low-impact, environmentally friendly, and lossless. Many of the Prohibition School's studies are quite valuable."
To Yu Lian's utter surprise, it was Little Gray who came to Xia Li's rescue. Of course, the person in question couldn't hear or see her while she was making this perfectly reasonable point.
Xia Li had no reason to lie to him now. That meant there really was a Commonwealth fleet striking the Empire's supply lines—and it had even scored quite a few successes.
Of course, if Teacher Yang had arranged it, that wouldn't be impossible.
But hitting the supply lines was one thing. The fleet had actually infiltrated all the way to the vicinity of the Gate of Glory. That still came as quite
