Li Yao had no more concerns after part of his life essence, together with Ding Lingdang's seed, was delivered to the refrigerated warehouse of the Glorious Sunlight Group. He had made a deal with them that the frozen goods would be retrieved and mixed if anything happened to him or Ding Lingdang.
In the few days that followed, Li Yao travelled in the Heaven's Origin Sector, the Flying Star Sector, and Blood Demon Sector and visited his friends and acquaintances.
The journey through space would be a long and dull one. Even if everything went well, it would take at least thirty to fifty years. If there were any setbacks, it would not be surprising at all if he spent seventy to eighty years. It was even possible that Li Yao would find absolutely nothing after a hundred years of searching, in which case, Li Yao would still activate the star beacon, return to the federation, and prepare to fight against the expedition fleet from the Imperium.
