As time went by, the Hidden World Courtyard gradually became brighter, with faint rays of sunlight coming in, indicating that daybreak was near.

Previously, the Secret Realm, which finally appeared dim under the dark clouds, now had a 24-hour day-night cycle. Moreover, on the bank's main operating console, which only he could manipulate, there was now an option to "lock" the current time.

Big Cat's guess was that the Secret Realm became more complete and closer to the Main Plane. That meant that by "manipulating time," they could adjust the local stars, which not only met the needs of rituals, items, and professions, but also adjusted the direction and distance with the "gods."
