Undersea, a sinkhole, a restricted area.
Amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood, Xuan Tu sat atop the Kraken sea monster with his eyes closed.
A black longsword lay beside him.
The sword's blade was as clear as water, unstained by a single drop of blood.
The sea monster's tentacles lashed out in the sea of blood, snatching up the dead sea monsters and throwing them into its mouth.
Within that enormous eyeball, the pupil curved into a joyful, wavy shape.
Every time its master goes on a killing spree, its gluttonous feast arrives.
So many delicious foods laid out in front of it, letting it choose whatever it wants, how wonderful!
In the sea of blood, a massive figure silently slid over.
Xuan Tu's eyes suddenly opened, and his dark pupils turned blood red.
The color, which should have been intense and fiery, was set in his eyes, yet it conveyed an endless sense of coldness and desolation.
Like two blood-red abysses.
He didn't move, but the sword did.
Like piercing through clouds and breaking through the moon, it instantly tore through space and reached the face of the attacking sea monster.
It pierces through the eye socket and finally emerges from the tail.
The sea monster slid forward for hundreds of meters due to inertia, and its massive body suddenly split open.
It was actually cleaved in two by that sword.
Only then did the giant eyeball realize what was happening. It stretched out its two tentacles, wrapped the two halves of the sea monster's body around, and stuffed the whole thing into its mouth.
Xuan Tu reached out and caught the sword that flew back.
The sword gleamed coldly, reflecting his expressionless yet beautifully radiant face.
Two blood-red pupils, tinged with endless madness.
Yet beneath his madness, he was also lucid.
He was calculating with a clear mind when the Heavenly Demon Gu planted in his soul would mature.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he looked toward the void.
Through the vision of the split soul within the anklet on Xin Sui's body, he saw a green secret realm hidden in a hazy mist.
Shui Duoduo's presence disappeared around that area. Could it be that he hid in this secret realm back then?
Xuan Tu took out a crystal card and sent an instruction to Ferro, who was in charge of city affairs in place of the deputy city lord.

Above the greenway maze.
Xin Sui expressed his doubts to the system: "In the novel, the Greenway Maze appeared quietly, or it was discovered by chance later. Why is there such a big commotion now?"
The butterfly effect she caused shouldn't affect the way the secret realm is born, right?
[Did you forget that Shui Duoduo entered the maze before?]
He attempted to subdue the Realm Pearl—this thing is equivalent to the crystal core of a strange beast, the spiritual seed of an ability user. Once subdued, the secret realm would be under his control.
[The secret realm, of course, refused, so it deliberately made a high-profile appearance to attract more people, hoping to use them to deal with Shui Duoduo.]
While Xin Sui was talking to the system, quite a few people arrived one after another.
Some people, upon seeing the entrance to the secret realm, impulsively rush in without considering the potential dangers inside.
Some people, however, did not rush in and instead watched from the sidelines.
Before long, the Secret Realm Supervision Bureau arrived and took control of the entrance to the Secret Realm.
Unlike the ghostly giant ships that appear in inland seas.
The inland sea is unclaimed land, so the secret realms that appear on it naturally have no owner.
Whoever is the strongest can take it for themselves.
But the Greenway Maze is different; it appears on Turtle Island.
Turtle Island is Xuantu's territory, so this secret realm naturally belongs to Xuantu.
Of course, if Xuan Tu's strength is weak and he cannot protect him, then that's another matter.
In the apocalypse, it's not uncommon for secret realms that originally appeared on one's own territory to be taken away by others.
But who is Xuantu? Who would dare to steal his things right under his nose?
Those who went in first were hoping to seize resources before the regulatory authorities arrived.
Of course, once they're released, they'll definitely be taken away by the regulatory authorities for a "lecture."
If they can get out.
Three days later, Xin Sui was informed by the system that Shui Duoduo had successfully subdued the Realm Pearl.
The entire secret realm is now under his control.
She returned to the Greenway Maze.
In just three days, the area outside the maze had transformed into a bustling market.
Various trading stalls and tents were gathered together.
The place was bustling with noise.
She also saw many food stalls.
It seems the trend of enjoying good food is spreading very quickly.
It shouldn't be long before they leave Bright City and spread throughout the apocalypse.
A long passageway was built at the entrance, and regulatory officials were stationed at the entrance.
There were fully armed guards on both sides, all carrying guns, which was quite intimidating.
There were also scattered guards patrolling around.
This area has now become a well-organized camp.
Xin Sui landed on the ground and came to the end of the line.
The queue stretched like a long dragon, and after only a short while, many more people arrived.
Fortunately, the procession moved forward quite quickly, with the crowd continuously shifting forward.
A member of the regulatory bureau shouted from both sides of the line: "After our bureau's investigation over the past few days, the Greenway Maze, which is the secret realm in front of you, only allows ability users at the Great Star Realm and below to enter."
"The rest of you can leave the group now; don't make any pointless attempts."
"Those who meet the entry requirements, log in to the official website of the Secret Realm Supervision Bureau and look at the document at the top—'Green Path Maze Secret Realm Entry and Exit Agreement,' do you see it?"
"Click in and read it carefully, select the access method, and then sign and submit."
Xin Sui glanced through the document and found that it contained only two core points.
1. Once inside, you are responsible for your own life and death.
2. You need to pay to enter the secret realm.
There are two ways to pay: one is to pay an entry fee of 100 crystal coins before entering.
