At last, Ilu, who had been sealed beneath the waters of the Omatikaya Rainforest's rivers, extended his tentacles.
After soaking underwater for so many years, Ilu knew the rivers of the Omatikaya Rainforest extremely well.
Now that he had gained control of the Omatikaya Rainforest, he was using his methods to arrange seals belonging to him.
Unlike the Longevity Fruit Tree, Reverse Growth Stone Pillar, and Deep Pond from before, Ilu's methods were all underwater.

These Seal Nodes would normally appear inconspicuous. It would not matter if one or two were destroyed; as long as the total number of Seal Nodes remained above three hundred thirty-three places, the seal would retain its ultimate integrity.
This was also the lesson Gu Xi's journey of breaking seals had taught Ilu.
Ilu feared that another player like Gu Xi would come along and easily undo every seal along the way.
That was why Ilu wanted to create this cluster of nine hundred ninety-nine seals.
