Daniel turned to Envy with a curious expression. "Do you know how large the influence of the Qin Empire was in the Curtained World?"

Envy fell into a pensive silence for a few moments before responding.

However, they likely have more sway over the Curtained World in East Asia and their homeland. As for Russia and Southeast Asia, they are contested territories between the Sect of the Qin Empire and the Hightower," Envy explained, pausing to allow the information to sink in before continuing.
