I work as a security guard at a cemetery, and I overhear the dead chatting about getting rich quick.

Three minutes after the ancient city cluster in the southwest appeared.

The second large-scale boundary confirmation.

East China Sea.

What was originally a blank area on satellite images suddenly has an island that is nearly 40 kilometers long.

There are lights on the island.

The fifth minute.

The area of ​​that unusual forest in the north has increased dramatically.

According to highway surveillance footage, the actual distance between two toll stations that were originally twelve kilometers apart was stretched to nineteen kilometers.

Seven minutes.

The bluestone steps underground at Linjiang University have completely breached the sports field.

An ancient architectural complex covering nearly two square kilometers is gradually "squeezing" into reality from underground space.

No one mentions "occasional phenomena" anymore.

The national boundary map on Cheng Fang's terminal has turned a large area red.

Lin Ye stared at the screen.

"How many?"

The technician's Adam's apple bobbed.

"Fourteen locations have been confirmed to have experienced entity merging."

"It appears to have entered the fusion phase..."

He paused for a moment.

"Forty-nine places."

And this only applies to China.

Global data is still being updated.

The seven headquarters immediately prioritized on-site communications.

There are only three new commands.

First, at all confirmed demarcation points, rescuing people should be the top priority.

Second, stop unnecessary in-depth exploration.

Third, all localities immediately re-surveyed roads, waterways, population locations, and geological structures.

Even the word "paranormal" is gone.

Because the most urgent thing right now isn't the ghost story.

It's a map.

After reading the order, Cheng Fang immediately turned around.

"The Zangfeng Mountain area will be handed over to the subsequent joint team."

"Group Two, stand by."

Xie Hongyi frowned.

"Are you leaving?"

"This isn't the only place like this across the country."

Cheng Fang pointed to the terminal.

"Nobody's going to get any sleep tonight."

She glanced at the dense cluster of red dots and didn't ask any more questions.

Two thousand years ago, news could travel from one state to another in a few days or a few months.

just now.

A mountain has just descended.

What happened thousands of kilometers away has already reached everyone's hands.

Xie Hongyi clearly hasn't fully adapted to this gap yet.

But she adapted very quickly.

"I can stay and handle things at Cangfeng Mountain."

Cheng Fang looked at her.

"Are you qualified to represent the sect?"

"He does not represent the sect leader."

Xie Hongyi was very direct.

"But at least when one of you asks a question, I can tell them not to draw their swords."

That's useful enough.

Cheng Fang nodded.

Someone will contact you.

Not far away.

The sect leader of Cangfeng Mountain was still standing on the stone steps.

More and more people are following him.

disciple.

deacon.

Elder.

Some people have already come down from the mountain gate, looking at the vehicles, lights, and modern city outside the blockade.

The seven points did not continue to approach.

They did not descend from Cangfeng Mountain.

The two sides were stuck on a line that was invisible to the naked eye during their first contact.

land.

personnel.

Resources.

Identity.

law.

There is not a single problem that can be solved tonight.

Lin Ye, however, knew the answer.

These things are much more troublesome than sword slaves.

The sword slave rushes over; just smash him.

A sect that has lived for two thousand years says, "This has been our mountain since ancient times." You can't expect Qin Zhao to talk to them about property rights with explosives.

The communicator suddenly rang.

"Linye."

Cheng Fang forwarded a video to him.

"Look to the southwest."

Lin Ye clicked on it.

The footage was taken from a high-altitude drone.

It was a truly ancient city.

It's not some kind of ruin.

The city wall is intact.

The city gate is intact.

The houses are densely packed together.

There were even people running around on the streets with livestock.

Judging from the clothing, it clearly belongs to a certain ancient period.

And outside the city.

Modern highways are interrupted by newly added terrain.

Vehicles on both sides have been brought to an emergency stop.

The strangest place was at the city gate.

Hundreds of ancient people are standing there.

They looked at the modern rescue vehicles a few hundred meters away.

Modern people are watching them too.

On either side lies a recently emerged wasteland.

No one moved.

The video has no sound.

It was even more chilling than the sight of a thousand swords flying together at Cangfeng Mountain just now.

Because there are not just a few hundred cultivators here.

They are ordinary people.

elder.

woman.

child.

There were even street vendors.

A complete slice of society was thrown directly into the modern era from two thousand years ago.

Lin Ye asked:

"Has the date been confirmed?"

"no."

Cheng Fang shook his head.

"The language is not yet fully confirmed."

Are there any cultivators inside?

"have."

"How many?"

"That's the trouble."

Cheng Fang zoomed in on the image.

On the city floor.

There were more than a dozen people standing there.

One of the old men in black robes simply raised his hand.

A section of the city wall that had just collapsed due to spatial fusion was re-supported by an invisible force.

Lin Ye looked at it for two seconds.

"Stronger than Xie Hongyi?"

"It's impossible to determine at this time."

But then, in the text, all spirits suddenly add:

"At least it's not some outsider."

Lin Ye understood.

population.

monk.

The complete city.

This is no longer a matter of "discovering ancient ruins".

Someone has actually brought the past back.

Just then.

A sudden commotion broke out outside the blockade line.

Several staff members rushed over.

"Something's happened!"

Cheng Fang's face darkened.

Which way?

"Online."

The people present paused for a moment.

The staff handed over the tablet.

Short video platforms have exploded.

The scene of Zangfeng Mountain landing.

Videos of the ancient city.

The northern forests are expanding.

The roof of an ancient building at Linjiang University has been damaged on the school playground.

Everyone took pictures of it.

Some live streams have hundreds of thousands of viewers online.

The comments are so numerous that they're impossible to read.

"Is the cultivation of immortality really here?"

"Is that mountain in the capital?"

"Did someone from ancient times travel through time?"

Does anyone know where I can learn martial arts techniques?

Is the Purple Jade Grass real or fake?

Is it a good time to buy a house in an ancient city in Southwest China?

"The mountain behind my house has just expanded by two kilometers. Would calling the police do any good?"

Even more outrageous is...

People have already started selling things.

[Native soil from Guijie Mountain, 8,000 grams per 100 grams.]

[The "Heavy Energy Bottle" from the Hanging Mountain in Beijing, filled on-site.]

[The ancestral breathing technique, last fifty portions tonight.]

Some people even started live streaming to teach "the first set of radio breathing exercises for the restoration of heaven and earth".

Lin Ye's eyes twitched as he watched.

"Quick enough."

Cheng Fang's face darkened.

"The liar is always faster than the document."

The real problem isn't the scammers.

Below the official public platform.

Just half an hour.

The most frequently asked question has become the same.

Since cultivators truly exist, can ordinary people cultivate as well?

The numbers are still skyrocketing.

One hundred thousand.

Three hundred thousand.

million.

Lin Ye stared at that sentence for a while.

He suddenly realized.

The first thing that changed due to the boundary relocation might not be the map at all.

It is people's hearts.

Previously, the anomalies were classified as seven.

Most ordinary people just watch.

But cultivation is different.

Once someone confirms that ordinary people can also become stronger.

Everyone would want it.

Money can't buy these things.

life.

power.

body.

Even a chance to change one's destiny.

No one is willing to just watch others fix things.

Wanling also saw the screen.

He remained silent for a few seconds, which was unusual.

"This is troublesome."

Lin Ye smiled.

"Are you scared too?"

"I'm not afraid of anything."

Wanling snorted.

What I wanted to say was...

There are too many people in your generation.

"Twenty million people in one city."

"A country with over a billion people."

Even if only one out of a hundred people wants to cultivate...

It didn't continue calculating.

No need.

The numbers are frightening enough.

The program's terminal vibrated again.

Seven new internal notices.

Effective immediately, the public dissemination of unverified spiritual practices is suspended nationwide.

All discovered ancient cultivation methods, breathing techniques, and training materials are undergoing urgent evaluation.

[Establish a research and demonstration group for the basic cultivation system.]

Lin Ye saw the last sentence.

His eyes flickered slightly.

The argumentation group.

This means that the above also knows.

You can't stop it by blocking it.

Just as everyone was preparing to evacuate.

Xie Hongyi suddenly called out to Lin Ye from behind.

"Linye."

He turned around.

She stood inside the blockade line at Cangfeng Mountain.

Her red dress was a little dirty with dust, and her long hair wasn't completely combed.

But she remains sharp.

"Didn't you want to learn movement techniques?"

Lin Ye stopped.

"Are you willing to teach now?"

"It's not about teaching."

"Change."

"Change to what?"

Xie Hongyi glanced at the mountain.

"Help me understand this era."

"I'll give you a set of truly usable movement techniques."

Lin Ye smiled.

"make a deal."

Xie Hongyi then added another sentence.

"Let's make this clear first."

"If you learn slowly, I won't wait for you."

Lin Ye turned and walked towards the car.

"Then you'd better not teach too badly."

Xie Hongyi stared at his back.

The corner of her mouth lifted slightly.

Lin Ye had just gotten into the car.

Cheng Fang then handed him another urgent task.

This is not a boundary exploration.

It's not about seizing the Yin Society.

The mission takes place in the capital city.

An ordinary person who had just been evacuated from the outskirts of Cangfeng Mountain.

I bought the so-called "ancient breathing technique" online.

After practicing for forty minutes.

Out of control in the street.

Six people have already been injured.

Lin Ye looked at the mission description.

A moment later, I closed the Cangfeng Mountain map.

The first real problem of the new era.

They've already run from the mountains into the city.
