The will of the mainland creates a barrier, and the remnants of the divine realm are expelled.

The golden rift in the sky closed completely, and the Three Supreme God Kings were sealed within the sword of bonds. The suffocating pressure of the God Realm receded like a tide. Above the Douluo Continent, sunlight pierced through the clouds, casting down ten thousand rays of golden light. A massive rainbow spanned the sky, and the air was filled with the fresh scent of Life Power.

Su Chen hovered in mid-air, the sword of bonds in his hand humming. Three golden specks of light flickered on the blade—these were the three sealed Great God Kings. He could clearly feel that their divine force was being slowly absorbed by the sword of bonds, transforming into power to protect the Douluo Continent.

The women gathered around him, their faces wearing tired but relieved smiles. The continuous battles had taken a massive toll on them, and their spirit power had dropped to its lowest point. However, looking at the cheering creatures below, the sense of accomplishment washed away all their fatigue.

"Brother Su Chen, we've finally completely defeated the God Realm!" Xiao Yi Xian's voice was filled with excitement. Her face was still stained with a bit of dust, but it couldn't hide the light in her eyes.

Su Chen gently stroked her hair and wiped the dust from her cheek: "Yes, we finally won."

Just then, from all directions of the Douluo Continent, countless rays of green light suddenly surged out. These lights, like fireflies, converged in the sky, gradually condensing into a massive green barrier that enveloped the entire Douluo Continent. Ancient runes appeared on the barrier, radiating dense Life Power and protective power.

"This is... a protective barrier formed by the will of the continent?" Shock flashed in Ah Yin's eyes. She could clearly feel that this barrier contained the will of the entire Douluo Continent, condensed from the collective belief of the continent's living beings. "As long as this barrier exists, no force from the God Realm will ever be able to set foot on the Douluo Continent again!"

Hinata's God-Defying Byakugan slowly opened. She carefully examined every part of the barrier, a look of surprise and joy appearing on her face: "That's right! This barrier is connected to our Power of Bonds and to Brother Su Chen's God-Defying Power. It is truly indestructible!"

A flash of realization crossed Su Chen's eyes. Looking at the green barrier, a warm current surged in his heart. This barrier represented the Douluo Continent's creatures' longing for freedom, their belief in protecting their home, and more importantly, their recognition of him and The women.

"Living beings of the Douluo Continent," Su Chen's voice resonated through heaven and earth, filled with power, "this barrier was forged by your beliefs! From this day forward, it will guard our home and our freedom! The scum of the God Realm will never dare to set foot in our home again!"

The millions of creatures below erupted into earth-shaking cheers, the sound like thunder echoing through the world. People brandished their weapons, and Spirit Beasts let out deafening roars, collectively celebrating this hard-won victory.

At that moment, several disheveled figures appeared at the edge of the barrier—the remnants of the God Realm who had luckily escaped earlier. They looked at the green barrier, their eyes filled with despair and indignation.

"No! We can't just go back like this!" a God Realm Enforcer's voice sounded crazed. "We are people of the God Realm! How can we lose to a bunch of ants from the mortal realm?"

Another Enforcer's voice was filled with fear: "But... that barrier is too powerful. We can't break through it at all!"

"Break through?" Su Chen's voice was cold and sharp. His figure instantly appeared at the edge of the barrier, the sword of bonds pointed at the group of remnants. "You scum still want to break through the barrier? Wishful thinking! Today, I will let you know the consequences of betraying the Douluo Continent!"

His body turned into a black-gold stream of light, charging toward the remnants. The sword of bonds carried world-destroying power, and wherever the sword-light passed, the air was torn asunder.

The faces of the God Realm remnants turned pale, their bodies trembling. They didn't dare to oppose Su Chen at all.

"Run! Hurry, run!"

The remnants turned into streaks of golden light, attempting to flee the Douluo Continent.

"Want to run? Too late!" A cold killing intent flashed in Su Chen's eyes. With a light swing of the sword of bonds, countless black sword-lights shot out, instantly striking the bodies of those remnants.

The remnants let out shrill screams as their bodies were consumed by the sword-light, turning into a sky full of light specks.

Su Chen slowly withdrew the sword of bonds. He looked into the void beyond the barrier, his voice cold and sharp: "Listen, scum of the God Realm! From now on, the Douluo Continent is independent of the God Realm and will not be manipulated by any force! If anyone dares to set foot on the Douluo Continent again, they will be killed without mercy!"

His voice was like a great bell, echoing through the void and reaching every corner of the myriad worlds.

Inside the barrier, the creatures of the Douluo Continent erupted into earth-shaking cheers once again.

Su Chen slowly landed on the ground. The women gathered around him, looking at his tall and straight figure with eyes full of love and admiration.

"Brother Su Chen, you're amazing!" Zi Yan threw herself into Su Chen's arms, acting coyly. "I knew you could defeat all the enemies!"

Su Chen gently rubbed her hair, a gentle smile appearing on his face: "Silly girl, this wasn't my achievement alone; it was an achievement for all of us."

He turned to Ah Yin and asked, "Ah Yin, when will Xiao Wu's soul wake up?"

A hint of solemnity flashed in Ah Yin's eyes. She pondered for a moment before saying, "Su Chen, Little Sister Xiao Wu's soul is symbiotic with yours. To wake her, we need two types of power: one is a sufficiently dense Life Power, and the other is the Power of Bonds from all of us. The Spring of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest contains the densest Life Power. As long as we take Little Sister Xiao Wu's soul there and add the Power of Bonds from all of us, we will surely be able to awaken her."

Joy flashed in Su Chen's eyes. He tightly grasped Ah Yin's hand: "That's great! Ah Yin, thank you!"

Ah Yin shook her head, a gentle smile appearing on her face: "No need for thanks. We are family."

Joy also flashed in the eyes of the other women. They were all looking forward to the moment Xiao Wu would wake up.

"No time to lose, we're going to the Star Dou Great Forest right now!" Su Chen's voice was urgent. He was already impatient to see Xiao Wu.

The women nodded one after another. Their bodies turned into streaks of light, flying toward the Star Dou Great Forest.

Su Chen's body also turned into a black-gold stream of light, following closely behind. His heart was filled with anticipation, looking forward to the moment of reunion with Xiao Wu.

In the direction of the Star Dou Great Forest, a green light shot into the sky—that was the direction of the Spring of Life.

There lay the hope of awakening Xiao Wu.

There lay the future of the Douluo Continent.
