In the Fifth Star Ring, the passage of time was calculated by means of the little vortexes that would appear in the red aurora in the sky. When 1,000 vortexes appeared, it counted as one year. After that, the aurora vortexes would disappear, and a new year would begin.

At the moment, there were 753 vortexes in the red aurora.

Xu Qing was currently looking up at the vortexes. This was the thirtieth vortex-day in which he had been traveling. If he traveled at this speed in Revered Ancient, he would have been able to go from the imperial capital of humankind all the way to Sea-Sealing County. But here, he was still on the border of the south of the Fifth Star Ring.

The lands were still swampy. The Fifth Star Ring was massive.

At least I’ve finally reached my destination.
