Both sides were very cautious, neither daring to act rashly.
If they fought, a minor issue could escalate into a significant problem.
They both suspected that the other could rapidly transport troops, which would undoubtedly lead to a prolonged and unending battle.
As ti slipped by, however, such a deadlock was not sustainable.
Christopher, who was not patient, could not stand the stalemate and was the first to speak, "Ye Wudi, according to international rules, a newly erged Secret Realm within the jurisdiction of a region belongs to that region. This Secret Realm falls under the Northern Bear Federation. You should hastily take your troops and leave, and I can pretend nothing happened."
This statent gave Ye Wudi so information.
"Your jurisdiction? It is clearly within our jurisdiction!" Ye Wudi retorted.
Enraged, Christopher said, "This Secret Realm is three hundred kiloters from the border of Lindong City. According to international convention, it belongs to the Northern Bear Federation. How can it be yours? Or are you claiming the entire Northern Snow Domain as your jurisdiction?"
The information was even more evident, and Ye Wudi understood.
The Secret Realm was three hundred kiloters away from Lindong City and had an entrance, which is why they could enter the Secret Realm so quickly.
But then, Ye Wudi was puzzled, as the Secret Realm from their side was also three hundred kiloters away from Northern City.
Multiple entrances in one Secret Realm were not strange and frequently encountered.
However, the energy fluctuation map of this Secret Realm was only so extensive; it could not cover the entire Northern Snow Domain. How could both sides be rely three hundred kiloters away with nearly ten thousand miles between them?
Another issue was that after they entered the Secret Realm, they hadn’t explored deep and, within a few hours, encountered people from the Northern Bear Federation.
A few hours were not enough to traverse the tens of thousands of miles between them.
Even if they had set off simultaneously, that still accounted for five thousand kiloters, impossible to cover in just a few hours.
Where did all that extra distance go?
Shrinking Ground?
"Could it be that we’ve encountered a teleporting-type Secret Realm?" Xiao Zhan quietly said to Ye Wudi.
A teleporting-type Secret Realm, as the na suggests, features transport capabilities.
But that is rather exaggerated. The real aning is like this situation, a fixed distance that requires completing the whole distance in other ways.
However, entering the Secret Realm considerably shortens the journey.
Ordinary Secret Realms present a single Dinsion Space. When a Secret Realm decays, so parts disappear directly, so unstable parts rge with reality.
Such teleporting-type Secret Realms are rare.
Ye Wudi replied, "It seems so. It’s just not clear whether it’s a dual-point or multi-point teleporting Secret Realm."
A dual-point has only two entrances, a multi-point has several entrances.
Dual-point is less troubleso, multi-point more so.
"In such a case, to whom does the Secret Realm belong?" Xiao Zhan asked, not very clear on this aspect.
Ye Wudi said, "If it’s a dual-point then it depends on where the two entrances appear. If both are in our jurisdiction, then naturally it still belongs to us. But if they appear in another jurisdiction, then it depends on the negotiations above."
After Ye Wudi spoke, he then said to Christopher, "The entrance to this Secret Realm is also three hundred kiloters away from Northern City. I now suspect this is a teleporting-type Secret Realm. How about we fully explore the Secret Realm first to determine how many entrances there are before making a decision?"
Upon hearing this, Christopher instantly understood everything.
After briefly considering, he made a decision, "Alright, then let’s finish exploring the Secret Realm before making a decision."
Imdiately, he dispatched drones to scan and reconnoiter the entire Secret Realm while also arranging for the troops to find a strategically advantageous spot to camp.
No matter how many entrances there were, they were definitely going to station in the Secret Realm for the upcoming period.
Until the higher-ups reached a decision.
On Ye Wudi’s side, the sa asures were taken.
Imdiately deploying drones for reconnaissance.
The Secret Realm was not very large but not small either, categorized as a dium-sized one. However, the resources within were considerable, but correspondingly, the Demon Beasts were also fearso.
The drones detected several spots with intense energy fluctuations, daring not to approach too closely, only circling nearby and recording the locations.
The exploration took about a day’s ti.
After one day.
Ye Wudi passed the information to the higher-ups, requesting their instructions while also keeping a copy for himself.
"From the current situation, it looks quite good. There are only two entrances, which ans we just need to negotiate with the Northern Bear Federation."
Several people gathered in the temporary command center; Ye Wudi, looking at the data images, analyzed with everyone.
Currently, except for Ye Anu staying back at Northern City, most of the others had co.
Hose and others from Xiao Zhan’s side had also arrived, even Liu Xin had co.
They were now watching the screen, analyzing.
To prevent unforeseen troubles, it was necessary to first understand all the information about the Secret Realm, including any hidden dangers. And this was sothing Hose and his team were good at.
Xiao Zhan glanced at them, then said to Ye Wudi, "Most likely, the situation will be that the Northern Bear Federation will co-exploit this Secret Realm with us, right? The entrance is too close to them; they definitely won’t give the entire Secret Realm to us."
Ye Wudi nodded, "We also don’t trust giving it all to them. Giving them the Secret Realm is like handing them a knife to hold against our neck, ready to strike at any mont."
Since the anomaly, the relationship between the Longxia Federation and the Northern Bear Federation had beco diocre due to the obstruction of the Northern Snow Domain.
Even because of Longxia Federation’s inherently advantageous geographical position, there was a feeling of animosity.
Thus, this negotiation might not be easy.
Soon, the higher-ups sent a ssage telling Ye Wudi not to act rashly, just to stabilize the scene, as they had already started contacting the senior managent of the Northern Bear Federation.
Ye Wudi certainly would not act rashly, but seeing the situation, it was unclear how long it would take for results to erge.
At night.
Xiao Zhan returned to the temporarily constructed dormitory.
He called Liu Xin over.
"How is it, is there anything we need in this Secret Realm?" Xiao Zhan asked.
New Secret Realms generally ca with new products.
Xiao Zhan did not know the use of these products, but Liu Xin would.
Xiao Zhan called her over to see if there was anything in the Secret Realm that could extend life.
Liu Xin nodded imdiately, "Yes, and the quality is not bad. If collected entirely, it could be used for a very long ti."
"Isn’t there sothing more impressive?"
"The volu of videos is too large; it would take a while to go through them all to know."
Xioa Zhan sighed in resignation, "If only I could combine your brain with Hose’s, he could scan everything in minutes."
