Sanguang Heaven was an extremely distant place. Even traveling at the speed of light would take three days.
Covering such a distance at sublight speeds would take even longer. At one-tenth light speed, it would take a month; at one percent, nearly a year; at one-thousandth, around ten years...
Therefore, the Successors remained unhurried, even leisurely, as they dealt with the pursuers chasing them.
Several faster-than-light organisms set off at an unhurried pace, arriving several light-seconds away from Enkelei and the others at faster-than-light speeds, constantly luring them onward.
The pursuers had somehow distorted light, making it difficult to spot them through illumination alone. However, this was not much of a problem for the Successors. The pursuers themselves emitted heat, and heat was an infrared radiation source. Combined with the empty cosmic environment, they were like torches in the night. Only a blind man could fail to see them.
Besides infrared and microwaves, the faster-than-light organisms also had gravitational waves and even high-frequency electromagnetic radar, all of which could pinpoint their exact locations.
Enkelei and the other, brimming with confidence in their own power, did not believe the Successors were deliberately luring them forward. Thinking they had concealed themselves perfectly, they continued chasing the faster-than-light organisms.
Enkelei and the others pursued them for a long time. The tedium of covert pursuit made Enna, whose patience was not especially good, the first to grow restless.
"Enkelei, we can't keep chasing them like this. Do you have any good way to catch one of those unknown things?"
Enkelei fixed his gaze on the faster-than-light organisms several light-seconds away for quite a while before rejecting Enna's suggestion.
"They're too far away. We can't guarantee that we'll catch one."
"These unknown things seem to be heading somewhere. Keep pursuing them and don't let them
