The spy's interrogation breaks the deadlock, and the Rebellious God Formation is put into practice.

After The women all unlocked their God-Defying Forms, the core combat power of Nishen Hall was completely established. The probes from three God Realm Lower Gods were easily neutralized. Zhu Zhuqing and Qing Lin had captured five God Realm spies lurking in the Heaven Dou capital alive, and they were now held in the underground interrogation room of Nishen Hall—a place doubly reinforced by Ah Yin's blue silver vines and Kushina's sealing runes. Sacred power could not penetrate it, ensuring the spies could neither send messages nor self-destruct.

At this time on the Douluo Continent, the god-defying order was in a critical stage of consolidation. On the streets of the Heaven Dou capital, the harmonious coexistence of humans and Spirit Beasts had become the norm: a young flower girl placed a woven garland on the head of a deer Spirit Beast, a brawny man in a blacksmith shop worked with a bear Spirit Beast to forge god-defying rune weapons, and even children knew to salute the Nishen emblem, chanting, "Humans and beasts of one heart, protecting the continent." Along the border of the Star Luo Empire, Qing Lin's Ten Thousand Snake Legion patrolled alongside human soldiers, and energy nets woven from blue silver vines covered the border, capable of instantly transmitting an alarm if any abnormal fluctuations occurred. In the God-Defying Academy, rebuilt on the former site of Spirit Hall, Qian Renxue was leading students in drawing god-defying runes. In the eyes of these young Spirit Masters, there was only longing for the future and a firm determination to protect their home.

Su Chen led Qian Renxue and Kushina into the underground interrogation room. In the center of the room, five spies were tightly bound to stone pillars by blue silver vines, their sacred power suppressed by sealing runes, their faces pale. The middle-aged man in a cyan robe leading them was a Middle God spy under the Angel God, named Kyle.

"God Defier, you have no right to imprison messengers of the God Realm!" Kyle forced himself to stay calm, but his eyes could not hide his fear. "The Chief Gods will soon lead a great army to descend and trample Nishen Hall. By then, none of you will have a place to be buried!"

Su Chen gave a cold laugh, and his black God-Defying Soul Power transformed into an invisible palm that gripped Kyle's neck. "No place to be buried? Before asking about others, think about your own end. Speak, what is the God Realm's true plan? Why did they only send you to lurk instead of invading immediately?"

Kyle's face turned beet red, and he struggled to breathe, but he remained stubborn. "I won't tell you anything! The dignity of the God Realm shall not be profaned!"

"Is that so?" Su Chen turned to look at Xiao Yi Xian. "Xiao Yi Xian, let him taste the Power of Ten Thousand Poison Symbiosis—remember, don't let him die too quickly. I want him to speak all his secrets while he's conscious."

Xiao Yi Xian nodded, and a pale green Poison Mist seeped from her palm, slowly enveloping Kyle. The Poison Mist was not lethal, but it could precisely stimulate the nerves, bringing heart-wrenching pain. Kyle's body trembled violently, veins popped on his forehead, and cold sweat instantly soaked his robe. "Ah! It hurts so much! Let me go!"

"Will you talk?" Su Chen's voice was icy, without a hint of pity.

Kyle struggled for a moment, but ultimately could not withstand the torture of the Poison Mist. He cried out, "I'll talk! I'll talk! The three Chief Gods of the God Realm are building a 'Sacred Resonance Array' outside the spatial barrier, and it will take three months to complete! This array can gather the sacred power of the entire God Realm to completely tear through the spatial barrier, allowing the army to enter the Douluo Continent without hindrance! Our mission was to scout the specific abilities of the God-Defying Form, the energy nodes of the God-Defying Grand Array, and the training progress of the God-Defying Academy to prepare for the invasion in three months!"

"Sacred Resonance Array?" Qian Renxue's Holy God-Defying Dual Power fluctuated slightly. "I know of this array. It requires three Chief Gods to personally oversee it and consumes a massive amount of sacred power. Once completed, its power is indeed terrifying."

A hint of solemnity flashed in Su Chen's eyes as he continued to press, "Besides you, are there other spies lurking on the Douluo Continent? Does the Sacred Resonance Array have any weaknesses?"

"There are ten more spies lurking on the borders of the Star Luo Empire and the Star Dou Great Forest, responsible for scouting the movements of the Spirit Beasts!" Kyle's voice carried a sob. "The weakness of the Sacred Resonance Array is... it needs to continuously absorb sacred power and cannot be interrupted midway. Otherwise, the array will collapse and even backfire on the three Chief Gods!"

Su Chen nodded and said to Qing Lin, "Qing Lin, immediately have your snake swarm cooperate with the Nishen Legion to find the remaining ten spies. Capture them all alive; not a single one must be missed."

"Understood!" Qing Lin's Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils flickered with green light as she turned and left.

Su Chen waved his hand, and black God-Defying Power temporarily sealed the consciousness of Kyle and the others. "Kushina, use your sealing power to seal them deep within the interrogation room and send people to guard them strictly. They will be useful later."

After dealing with the spies, Su Chen led the Heroines to the core of the God-Defying Grand Array. This array, which covered the entire continent, had only recently been completed and required further fine-tuning to exert its maximum power. At the core, Ah Yin's blue and black blue silver vines reached deep into the ground like roots, connecting with the life source of the Star Dou Great Forest and continuously drawing life energy. Ning Rongrong's Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda floated in mid-air, its golden amplification light enveloping the array. Qian Renxue's Holy Rebel Dualism Power runes were carved all over the edges of the array, slowly reinforcing its resistance to sacred erosion.

"Now, we begin fine-tuning the array," Su Chen's voice echoed through the core. "Ning Rongrong, release the Ten Thousand Times Amplification, focusing on Ah Yin's blue silver vine network to test the transmission efficiency of life energy. Qian Renxue, inject Holy God-Defying Dual Power into the array to strengthen the purification effect of the runes. Xiao Yi Xian, Yun Yun, Xiao Xun Er, and Zi Yan, inject your God-Defying Power into the four corners of the array to test the synergy of the attack modules. The rest of you, distribute yourselves at the various energy nodes to feel the flow of energy and provide timely feedback."

Following Su Chen's command, the fifteen Heroines acted simultaneously. The golden light of Ning Rongrong's Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda surged, and the energy of the Ten Thousand Times Amplification spread along the blue silver vine network. Ah Yin could clearly feel that the transmission speed of life energy had tripled. Qian Renxue's black and white runes merged with the black god-defying runes of the array, forming a two-colored barrier. When simulated sacred power approached, it was instantly purified. Xiao Yi Xian's Power of Ten Thousand Poisons, Yun Yun's World-Breaking Wind, Xiao Xun Er's Heaven Burning Phoenix Fire, and Zi Yan's World-Burning Dragon Flame converged at the four corners of the array, forming a four-colored energy cannon. It precisely struck a distant test target, and the center of the target was instantly corroded, torn, and burned to nothing.

"The energy transmission is very smooth, but there is a slight delay at the energy node on the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest," Ah Yin's blue silver vines fed back information.

"When the Ten Thousand Times Amplification covers a wide range of targets, there is a slight loss of energy. We need to adjust the amplification angle of the Glazed Tile Pagoda," Ning Rongrong said.

"The integration of Holy God-Defying Dual Power with the array can still be improved. I need to inject more power to optimize the rune arrangement," Qian Renxue's Nishen Angel wings unfurled, and black and white light continued to flow into the array.

Su Chen raised his hand and released black God-Defying Power, which traveled along the blue silver vine network to the energy node at the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, fixing the delay issue. "Ning Rongrong, adjust the amplification angle of the Glazed Tile Pagoda by thirty degrees and focus on the main veins of the blue silver vines. Qian Renxue, I will help you stabilize the rune energy; you focus on optimizing the arrangement."

Under Su Chen's coordination, the Heroines each performed their duties, constantly adjusting the array's parameters. As time passed, the energy flow of the God-Defying Grand Array became smoother, and the synergy between the defense, attack, and support modules became more seamless. As the sun set, the light of the array became increasingly solid. The black god-defying runes and fifteen different colors of energy intertwined, forming an indestructible hemispherical barrier that enveloped the entire Douluo Continent.

"Great! With the current array, even a full-strength strike from a High God can be easily blocked!" Xiao Wu's pink and black rabbit ear wings flapped as she cheered excitedly.

Su Chen looked at the perfectly functioning God-Defying Grand Array, his eyes full of satisfaction. "This is not enough. In three months, when the God Realm army attacks, we will be facing three Chief Gods and an army of a hundred thousand. We must raise the power of the array by another level. In the coming days, we will fine-tune the array every day. At the same time, let the Nishen Legion, the common people, and the Spirit Beasts familiarize themselves with the array's operation so they can cooperate with it and exert the greatest power."

The Heroines responded in unison, their eyes filled with determination.

Meanwhile, at the relief house in Cangyun Town, Xiao Ling still sat blankly by the bed, staring out the window with hollow eyes. He was completely unaware of the preparations for war outside or the fine-tuning of the God-Defying Grand Array. He didn't even know that his arch-enemy was putting everything into protecting the continent. Occasionally, soldiers from the Nishen Legion would pass by the relief house, and seeing his state, they would cast looks of disdain—this former genius was now just a waste who needed to be cared for, so redundant that he didn't even qualify to be a backdrop for the God-Defying era.

That night, Qing Lin sent word: the remaining ten God Realm spies had all been captured alive, with not a single one escaping. Su Chen ordered all the spies to be sealed deep within the underground interrogation room to further scout the God Realm's movements through them later.

On the Star Gazing Platform of Nishen Hall, Su Chen stood side by side with the fifteen Heroines, looking at the increasingly bright golden light outside the spatial barrier in the sky. The energy fluctuations of the Sacred Resonance Array were growing stronger, and the sense of oppression hung over the Douluo Continent like dark clouds.

"Three months will pass in the blink of an eye," Su Chen's voice was calm yet firm. "We have prepared ourselves. No matter how powerful the God Realm army is, we will not retreat. This continent is our home, and our god-defying order must never be destroyed!"

"Protect the continent! Protect the god-defying order!" The voices of the fifteen Heroines echoed through the night sky, intertwining with the energy fluctuations of the God-Defying Grand Array to form an invisible oath that resonated in every corner of the Douluo Continent.
