"No, no, no, there's no need to panic!"
"We still need half a year to prepare, we're just informing everyone in advance!" said the lizard man hastily.
He performed a unique gesture of courtesy: "There's nothing else. I wish our human friends can overcome the anomalies outside."
"May we all endure in this harsh world, prospering forever!"

The lizard people carefully anticipated the uncertain future, taking this step requires a lot of courage.
On the human side, there was a small stir.
Fate ahead is diverging at a crossroad.
Civilizations hiding in the Safe Zone and those leaving it will face entirely different destinies.
The Rize Civilization, originally technologically inferior to them, is going to open the Safe Zone even earlier, causing a subtle sense of tension among everyone.
Once falling behind, there's a risk of being permanently left behind.

"Look at others striving together in unity, while we are a scattered mess!"
