Ten thousand I am across the heavens

Once Lanno becomes the core of the formation and seals his opponent, it often means that he himself cannot get out either, and he will also have to spend a long time in the seal.

Those who helped him set up the sealing formation would also be trapped inside, unable to escape. However, they were determined to do so; as long as it protected the normal course of history, this price was entirely worthwhile. They also believed that as long as history proceeded normally, even without them, the future would still be incredibly bright.

The Ghost Demon Lord couldn't understand why anyone would choose to perish together with someone else, even if it meant being sealed away.

However, this guy was also very clear that if he had really been sealed for hundreds of years, he would most likely be dead when he came out.

If the Shanhe Republic had been established normally and developed for several hundred years, given its current accumulated resources, it would have been captured like a wild animal in that era. It would likely have had little power to resist.

Unfortunately, he has suffered injuries, which has greatly reduced his speed, making escape impossible.

At this point, the Heavenly Court showed no intention of finishing off the enemy. They saw this as the perfect opportunity to watch the two sides fight it out while they themselves profited. Their greatest desire was for the Invisible Guardian and the Ghostly Demon Lord to perish together. Therefore, with both sides evenly matched and potentially mutually weakened, the Heavenly Court naturally wouldn't intervene.

At this time, the Heavenly Court was unaware of the true power of the Invisible Guardians. They had no idea what kind of technology these people possessed, or the sheer number of them. They assumed that the few hundred people before them were all they had. However, according to normal understanding of secret organizations, having several hundred immortals was already an absurd feat.

With the seal reinforced, the 108 immortals and the Ghostly Demon Lord fell into a deep slumber, disappearing from the material world. The turmoil that had affected nearly half the continent finally ended, and history returned to its normal course. Although the Heavenly Court was investigating the whole affair, trying to understand what had caused the Ghostly Demon Lord's sudden outburst, what had ended him, and what the powerful force hidden in the dark side of the world—a force that even the Heavenly Court couldn't control—had yielded little result. The Invisible Guardians' technological advantage was still quite significant in this era. As long as they acted discreetly and concealed themselves, even the Heavenly Court, the most powerful force on the continent, would find it difficult to uncover their origins. Furthermore, each of them was actually in a period of rapid growth. Becoming an immortal was merely the first step for them; cultivating the development of their internal immortal apertures was the most crucial step in their growth. Even without breaking through to the seventh rank, they still had hundreds or even thousands of times the potential for improvement. Not to mention that the number of Invisible Guardians would actually increase slowly. Those whom they saved, if they received a satisfactory evaluation… They will also be transformed into invisible guardians, maintaining the normal course of history and taking in even more people who died in accidents.

In this timeline, the Ghost Demon Lord broke the seal prematurely; the seal could only hold him for a little over 50 years thanks to his own skills and talent. While breaking the seal weakened him considerably, the weakening of those who sealed him, such as Lanno, was even greater. Once the seal was broken, it was impossible to suppress the Ghost Demon Lord.

However, the moment the seal was broken, the Ghostly Demon Lord's divine sense spread out and he immediately realized the gravity of the situation. He was still in the Southern Frontier, and above it floated a massive aerospace city—the Mechanical City, the largest Immortal Gu House in history. He had been born just as history had predicted. This also meant that the Mountain and River Republic had been established, just as history had envisioned. Although it hadn't yet reached its peak productivity decades later, even in this era, its productivity still far surpassed that of the entire world.

A convenient teleportation system spans the entire continent, connecting this vast landmass, comparable to the surface of a gas giant, and the number of powerful figures constantly flowing through it is countless. The threshold for most high-tech industries is immortality, and the overall immortality rate among the citizens is as high as 1%. This is even slightly higher than the level in the original history. Even ordinary immortals are like ants to a ghostly demon lord. But when this number reaches hundreds of millions, it is still a terrifyingly suffocating figure. Moreover, among so many immortals, there are always a large number of those at the seventh or eighth level of cultivation. He is currently located in the Southern Frontier, and the only thing he wants to do is escape as quickly as possible. Only by fleeing to other realms can he have a chance to continue developing. Staying here, before he has grown stronger, he will be captured alive in a matter of minutes. His fate then will be far worse than being sealed. There is still hope that the seal will be broken one day. But once he is captured, there will probably be no chance of being released.

The moment the thought of escaping crossed his mind, alarms blared all around him. Then the entire land seemed to come alive.

The Ghostly Demon Lord realized at that moment that he had completely stepped into a trap. The entire area where he was now located was probably alive. That is to say, this land was alive. All the soil had been modified by nanomechanical devices. Every single stone could move freely and be alive.

This was a nightmare for him. It meant that every inch of land was mobile. The entire world was his enemy.

Almost the instant he reacted, a massive number of powerful individuals instantly teleported over. In other places, long-distance teleportation would require the preparation of teleportation arrays or ancient battle formations.

However, due to the underdeveloped infrastructure here, teleportation is simply a matter of going to a teleportation station. Over short distances, some people can travel at extremely high speeds. And there's always a teleportation station within a hundred kilometers. Therefore, upon detecting an anomaly, the most powerful individuals can instantly teleport to their location using the teleportation facilities.

In an instant, dozens of seventh-rank experts gathered, and three eighth-rank experts arrived at the scene. This all happened within a few seconds.

The earth rose rapidly, forming mountain range after mountain, enveloping the area into a vast basin. The mountains continued to grow upwards, attempting to cap the area and ensure no one could escape.
