"The Hengsha Federation?"
Hearing the name, Chen Xi felt a surge of joy.
Though she had suspected as much, hearing the answer confirmed still felt like winning the lottery.
The Lamenter was also set to descend in the Hengsha Federation, which meant she could save at least three months of travel time, possibly more.
After all, this world was unimaginably vast. Even with only two federations between them, the distance was still immense.
Fortunately, they were currently in North Wind Territory, on the very edge of the Black Moon Empire, with only the Spark Empire between them and the Hengsha Federation.
Once they left Huangsha City, in the Spark Empire's far northeast, they would reach the border between the Spark Federation and the Hengsha Federation.
The Spark Federation was now completely empty. Perhaps the Hengsha Federation's Legends and Transcendents had already settled in its northeastern region.
At their current strength, they would probably need only two months to reach the Hengsha Federation if they traveled at full speed.
The only problem was—
"Why is it only 280 days?" Chen Xi asked, puzzled.
That didn't match what Ailin had said about a major delay at all.
The Lamenter's usual descent cycle was three to six months. Nine months was hardly a significant delay.
Seeing her puzzled expression, Ademos replied with certainty, "That is indeed what I foresaw."
"Is something not adding up?"
The accuracy and timing of the Lamenter's descent were of great importance.
The more time they had, the more people he could rally and persuade among the Tier 6 Transcendents of other federations and empires, so they could join forces to attack the Lamenter and eliminate this threat once and for all.
Chen Xi thought for a moment, then told him about the discrepancy.
"I see..." Ademos nodded thoughtfully.
