The distance from the stargate where they had parted with Ye Li to the Elf Race's core territory was a full 570 million light-years.
Even with a Warp Drive capable of covering ten million light-years per year,
an S1 Level spaceship with a maximum speed of thirty times the speed of light would still need nearly two years to get there by flying alone.
Fortunately, the Human Race territory had long since established a stargate network spanning every major star region.
Through several consecutive stargate jumps, the long journey was drastically shortened.
Just ten days later, the spaceship had entered deep into the Elf Kingdom's territory and was about to reach the Elf Race's home planet.
