[The Secret Realm has been quiet for so many years, why are they suddenly rushing to evict people?]
[Could it be that there’s been so movent from the enemies in the Otherworld?]
[Damn it? Are we going to start fighting again?]
[My God, we finally had peace for so many years, and now we have to fight again?]
[Haven’t we always suspected that the enemy has secret passages within the Secret Realm? That’s how they withdrew their troops in the past. It would be normal for them to show up again after all these years; we’ve been preparing for this all along.]
[Right, all our neighboring countries have been taken by the enemy. Over the years, they must have assimilated the land and population. With their rear secure, they’re probably ready to make a move on us. Without taking us down, they will also feel uneasy.]
[ 1 to the person above, that’s exactly what I’m thinking. They can’t break through our defense lines, so they have to take advantage of the Secret Realm to sneak in.]
[Heh, East Ridge Secret Realm is now allowing exit but not entry. If the enemies really do co out from there, wanting to invade East Ridge City, do you think they won’t be able to return to the Secret Realm once they leave it?]
[Wow, what a unique perspective from the person above.]
[Very likely, person above.]
[Right now, I’m just worried about how long it will take for the people inside to notice sothing’s wrong and start evacuating as quickly as possible.]
[Don’t worry, it will be quick. There are people entering and exiting the Secret Realm every day. It’ll only take a day to realize that no one’s coming in anymore. Plus, with the shortage of supplies, once the people from the small towns in the rear converge with those from the frontline camp, they will surely organize everyone to withdraw together.]
[Just afraid that those inside will overthink it, assuming sothing’s happened outside and not dare to leave because none of the scouts sent out have returned.]
[Although this idea carries a tragic feeling, I can’t help but want to laugh.]
[Go ahead and laugh, I’m already laughing.]
Ye Nai didn’t bother brushing her teeth or washing her face; she simply lay there scrolling through her phone, and after checking various platforms, she ca across this uniquely angled speculation. She instantly perked up.
Yeah, what’s going on with the Secret Realm now?
The enemy was definitely planning to use the Secret Realm for a new invasion. Having killed twenty-one with her own hands, she had no doubt about this possibility.
After digging up fifty altars, the Secret Realm underwent changes, and she had no idea what was happening. She could only suppress her feelings and watch silently for developnts.
She got up and brushed her teeth.
Yu Qing ca ho from work and also brought up the topic at the dinner table, but right now the entire country was waiting, waiting for their own people within the Secret Realm to realize sothing was wrong and evacuate in ti. So after a few exchanges, the conversation couldn’t go on.
Late at night, after putting her mom and little sister to sleep, Ye Nai entered the Secret Realm to check on the situation.
With just over an hour left until the start of a new day, the anomaly in the Secret Realm had been going on for a day and a night. Ye Nai casually used Space Teleportation underneath the highway, heading to various small towns in the rear to observe.
She also stealthily checked out Town No. 2, not directly in the town but appearing in the wilderness outside, observing through a telescope.
Town No. 2 served as a communication hub within the Secret Realm and for relaying ssages to the outside, particularly with Town No. 1. Normally, this town aid to be unobtrusive. Those entering the Secret Realm would simply pass by without stopping.
But at this mont, Town No. 2 was filled with people, clearly having detected sothing unusual.
Ye Nai rembered the netizens’ comnts. Now that there was no communication between the inside and outside, and those who left the Secret Realm couldn’t return, the feeling for a large number of people inside would have been quite delicate.
But she didn’t have the ability to inform everyone that the Secret Realm was now exit-only. She just thought to herself that it would be great if the Secret Realm could actively evict the people within.
No sooner had this thought ford than a miniature map of East Ridge appeared in her mind, rapidly expanding to show the hunting squads scattered across the wilderness as points of light.
Then, one by one, these points of light disappeared, all reappearing in the nearest small towns to their prior locations.
Even though it all happened so suddenly, everyone was a bit stunned.
And except for themselves and their personal belongings, everything else had been left behind—the prey they were tracking and the vehicles parked in the distance all remained in the original location.
"What the fuck, what’s happening?"
"What’s going on? How did we suddenly end up back in the rear town?"
Just as the team was still bewildered, the military and civilians in the town, who had been observing for a day, spotted their sudden appearance and imdiately crowded around to ask what had happened.
"Hey, hey, what happened to you guys? How did you suddenly show up? Where did you co from?"
"We don’t know either! We were hunting, and then everything spun around, and here we are!"
"Ugh, my head’s spinning..."
"Bear with it, bear with it."
"What’s happened to you now?"
"There’s been an accident—no one and no vehicle has entered the Secret Realm from Zone 2 for the entire day, and none of the scouts have returned."
"Then you suddenly..."
Everyone was talking over each other, exchanging information, when they saw one after another fighter appearing out of thin air on the highway—dressed in various outfits and equipped like private military teams.
So the words spoken earlier were repeated once more.
All the rear towns in the Secret Realm experienced the sa situation, with every scattered team across the vast wilderness forcibly sent back by the Secret Realm.
Ye Nai looked at the shrinking map, noticing that after the wilderness’ light points had disappeared, there was a pause of a few minutes before a second batch of light points lit up, slightly fewer in number, but all marking the positions of frontline camps.
The frontline camps, which were built relying on the support of the rear towns, ant the warriors’ transfer distances were short, so they didn’t experience the disorienting dizziness and nausea. They just sat on the ground, took a few breaths, and recovered.
When they arrived, they also varied in attire—so wore vests and were barefoot, so held cooking spoons, and only those on duty at their posts were fully ard.
The military barracks in the town imdiately took their own people in to explain in detail.
Now everyone was utterly confused.
It was only after the rear towns communicated with each other that they realized this was not an isolated incident, but it was the sa for all towns.
The existing clues indicated that the Secret Realm had lost contact with the outside world, and no one who went out had returned.
The Secret Realm had also consolidated all the scattered private military teams and frontline camps in the wilderness and sent them to the towns.
No matter how incredible it seed, the existing clues indeed pointed to one result.
"Is the Secret Realm driving people out?!"
"The Secret Realm is driving people out!"
"Can the Secret Realm drive people out?"

"Why would the Secret Realm drive people out? Is it controlled by soone, or is the Secret Realm itself alive, conscious?"
One major trait of Blue Star humans is their rich imagination, especially in Dahua Country with its extensive history. As long as they did not scare themselves to death, they dared to imagine anything terrifying.
Once this line of thought diverged, it only made them feel even more of a chill down their backs.
The leaders of the military barracks in various towns held a telephone conference and discussed for several hours before making a decision.
Since they had lost contact with the outside world, and didn’t know what the outside situation was or whether it was safe, but the Secret Realm was driving people out, it seed likely that the outside was safe and that it was rely the Secret Realm itself that was acting up.
Although they did not understand why the Secret Realm, which had been quiet for so many years, had suddenly beco active, there was no ti for them to think it over; they were running out of supplies and had no choice but to evacuate.
