Chapter 656: Chapter 231: The Efficiency of the Alliance (Seeking Monthly Votes)

[Liu Qian: They’re out, they’re out, all the explorers are out!]

[Dark Blood Scales: I counted, all search team members are present!]

[Lu Yu: The explorers are out, can the situation on the other side of the cave be made public now? Looking forward!]

[…]

As the one hundred explorers walked out from the cave entrance, the live stream’s chat became active once again.

Although there had been a half-hour wait, the number of people online in the live room hadn’t decreased; instead, it had continuously risen.

As the host, Song Luo’s face showed a hint of curiosity, “According to the plan for this exploration, they were supposed to explore the other side of the cave for an hour before returning. What caused them to come back after only half an hour?”

“It probably isn’t anything bad.” He Qingyang looked at the screen and calmly spoke, “These explorers all seem very optimistic. They must have found something important on the other side, which is why they came back early.”

“I see, we–” Song Luo was about to continue speaking, but his expression paused momentarily.

A hint came through his earpiece.

Heeding the hint, Song Luo couldn’t help but turn his head and exchanged glances with He Qingyang who also received the hint, then he spoke out loud.

“Ladies and gentlemen, we will now announce the results of this exploration.”

The chat in the live stream halted the moment Song Luo’s words fell.

It was as if a wiper had swept away all the messages that blocked the view of the stream.

“On the other side of the cave, there is a different space known as the Secret Realm.” Song Luo took a deep breath and slowly continued, “From the current exploration, there are no living creatures in the Secret Realm, and no other dangers have been discovered for now.”

As he spoke this, the chat in the live stream erupted.

[Shattered Sky: Good that there’s no danger, so do we also have a chance to go in and see?]

[All-Heavens Projection Old Dad: Now definitely not, but maybe later, looking forward to it~]

[Yesterday Online: Located in Zone 1, one foot already on the departing transport, turns out it was a false alarm…]

[…]

Ignoring the various discussions in the chat, Song Luo tried to calm the shock in his heart and continued, “As everyone knows, the Secret Realm contains a concentration of supernatural energy that is richer than the outside world. According to the explorers who entered, the Beast Tamer’s meditation speed in the Secret Realm is eight times that of the outside!”

“With such an enhancement in meditation speed, the alliance can witness the emergence of more powerful Beast Tamers within a short period of time.” He Qingyang took over, smiling, “If further exploration confirms that there is no danger, this could become a very important meditation site for the Yan Huang Alliance.”

At this moment, he was particularly excited because this Secret Realm had opened in the airspace above Zone 1.

As the only university in Zone 1, Jinghua University would undoubtedly benefit from this, gaining a significant advantage over other universities.

“That’s right, and we also know why the explorers came back early!” Song Luo spoke loudly, “It wasn’t because of some urgent matter, but rather, there is a certain time flow differential between the inside and the outside of this Secret Realm. The explorers stayed there for an hour, but only half an hour had passed in the outside world.”

[Never Setting Sun, Never Visible Stars: Time dilation! I’m familiar with this, I often see it in novels!]

[Starry Illusion Dreams: The guy above, old bookworm identified.]

[Torrential Rain Night: If you think about it, wouldn’t that mean going in there is like having a sixteen times meditation speed boost? One year of meditation equals sixteen years for someone else?]

[Nightmare Beginnings: Looking forward to the alliance opening the Secret Realm for public access!]

[…]

“I see some viewers have mentioned whether this Secret Realm will be opened to the public.” Song Luo smiled and turned to look at He Qingyang, “I’m also curious about this issue, could Mr. He please enlighten us?”

“No problem.” He Qingyang nodded slightly, “In the half-hour that passed while the exploration was still incomplete, the Beast Tamer Association had already been discussing this issue. The preliminary result of the discussions is that the Beast Tamer Association will find a way to develop this Secret Realm and gradually open it for public access. Please be patient in the meantime.”

“Furthermore…” He Qingyang smiled slightly, “According to reliable information, the appearance of this Secret Realm is just the beginning, not the end. There may be more Secret Realms appearing in the future.”

“If that’s the case, it’s really great news for everyone.” Song Luo couldn’t help but exclaim, “If anyone notices similar cave passages in the future, please contact the Beast Tamer Association immediately.”

“This exploration was just a preliminary investigation to understand what’s inside. Following this, the Beast Tamer Association will continue to deploy personnel to conduct a larger scale, more detailed exploration to quickly determine the situation inside the Secret Realm.” Song Luo laughed, “This live stream will continue to follow and report on this matter.”

…

“What?!” Qin Yunzhang stood up from his seat in the conference room, his eyes widening in disbelief.

The usually serene man was completely stunned by the news brought back by Lin Su.

“Yes.” Back in the conference room of the Beast Tamer Association, Lin Su nodded slightly, “I’m quite sure that this Secret Realm is a terrestrial realm, and its unique power is related to the Time system. Although we haven’t found the Secret Realm Core yet, it is expected to be the same.”
