In an instant, heaven and earth changed color.
Majestic, brilliant golden dragon qi rose from behind her, ultimately condensing into a towering phantom.
The phantom wore a crown with twelve tassels and a dragon robe, his gaze overbearing.
The First Emperor, Ying Zheng!
The mere manifestation of the phantom silenced the entire battlefield.
The next second, the First Emperor and Su Fu raised their hands simultaneously, then brought them down—
The true Great Wall descended from the void!
No longer a phantom of sparks, but a real, mighty fortress spanning the land of China.
Bricks like iron, beacon towers like swords, golden light like a dragon—it merged with the Great Wall within the instance.
The phantom wall of sparks instantly transformed into a true, heaven-spanning—Eternal Great Wall.
Light and shadow interwove, dragon majesty vast!
“Boom—!”
The Black Tide that had been frantically battering instantly burned as if by raging flames, then turned to ash!
At the same time, Shen Yan’s voice rang out:
[The “Unity of Purpose” state has been activated! Faith Power ×10.]
[All participants in the Great Wall Vigil area: Ability increased by 500%, negative status resistance increased by 500%.]
[Faith power has condensed. The Eternal Great Wall (Mythos Form) descends!]
Almost simultaneously, more anomalies didn’t even have time to struggle before they evaporated.
The previously fearless, endless terrifying offensive—before this true “mythical Great Wall”—
Was utterly pathetic.
On the projection map of Chinese civilization, within an instance that embodied the concept of the Great Wall, Su Fu’s summoned [Eternal Great Wall] divine power exerted several times its normal effect.
And under the buff of the “Unity of Purpose,” it kept skyrocketing, reaching an absurd level of power.
The Black Tide that had once made everyone despair—now before this wall, no matter how many came, they were eradicated!
And there was no sign of weakening.
The remaining anomalies finally felt unprecedented fear.
They let out screeches filled with terror and unwillingness, stopped their frenzied charge, and began… to flee backward.
You want to run?
“Those who offend China—”
Su Fu raised her hand slightly and pushed it forward toward the panicked black tide.
“—though far away, shall be punished!”
In that instant, the Great Wall actually advanced directly!
It came alive like a giant dragon rising from the ground, actively crushing toward the fleeing anomaly tide!
The moment for the counterattack had arrived!
Before, it was the overwhelming black wave chasing the tiny human defense line, wildly eroding it.
But now, the opposite.
A golden divine dragon spanning heaven and earth chased the panicked black ocean, crushing it mercilessly.
Wherever the golden light passed, black energy completely dissipated.
The front fled fast, but the pursuit was even fiercer.
The once-sky-darkening Black Tide now looked utterly pathetic.
Everyone who witnessed this was first momentarily stunned, then deeply shocked, and finally their battle intent blazed anew.
“Charge—!”
“Kill—!”
Everyone launched the final assault against the scattered remnants of the anomalies.
With the Eternal Great Wall, the battlefield situation completely reversed.
The Black Tide retreated step by step, while the others pressed forward, hunting everywhere.
“Hahaha! So satisfying! So exhilarating!”
“Go! Wipe them out completely!”
Even General Huo Qubing, leading his remaining cavalry force, joined the rout!
He stood on his horse, silver armor stained with blood, spear tilted, gazing at the majestic golden wall with undisguised shock.
The Great Wall!
This was China’s Great Wall!
At that moment, Su Fu waved her hand again.
The entire wall trembled violently. Golden light gathered, forming a colossal dragon phantom that spanned heaven and earth.
The dragon soared into the sky, opening its mouth wide enough to swallow the sun and moon, piercing through the core of the Black Tide and biting down fiercely.
“Boom—!”
The Black Tide, like a bursting dam, was split open by the dragon, rapidly crumbling and disintegrating.
The brutal final battle that had lasted for hours finally came to a complete end.
The remaining anomalies, like stray dogs, were at last wiped out entirely.
The golden dragon-like Great Wall gradually dimmed its radiance and disappeared into the void.
Only the scarred, wounded Great Wall remained.
After the battle, Yanmen Pass was a mess.
The test takers had exhausted their divine power, slumping onto the ground, panting heavily.
They looked at the battlefield. The wall was battered but still stood tall.
The smoke of gunpowder had not yet cleared, but sunlight had pierced the clouds, sprinkling a golden layer on the mottled bricks.
A miracle… This was truly a miracle.
They had actually… held this Great Wall.
No, not just held.
They had created a real, never-falling Great Wall of will.
Subconsciously, their gazes turned to the figure standing against the wind.
If before, their feelings toward Su Fu were awe, curiosity, and a forced understanding…
Then now, for Su Fu, who had turned the tide, they felt only admiration.
A Nan’s voice was hoarse. “I’ve never fought a battle so stifling yet so exhilarating.”
“China,” Lin Zhao said, his expression complex and hard to read, “what kind of existence is it?”
Mu Wei smiled. “Brilliant, tenacious, and unbelievable.”
“But such a brilliant civilization… yet only Su Fu remembers. Really, it’s such a pity.”
“But then, the Great Wall we worked so hard to repair, she also has it!”
A Nan muttered.
“And it’s ten thousand times stronger than the one we repaired!”
“This bad woman! Hiding such a strong trump card until the last moment!”
“Made me think we were really going to be doomed!”
Although he said that, he knew very well in his heart that if it weren’t for her, they might have died in the Black Tide long ago.
If not for Su Fu, how could they have condensed the Will Great Wall at the final moment?
And witnessed this miraculous victory that was worthy of being recorded in history?
He sighed deeply and said softly, “You win.”
There was no longer any hostility, only admiration.
Lady Baiya stood by the broken battlements, gently stroking the shattered bricks.
‘Is this the Great Wall?’
‘Is this China?’
She suddenly felt a little jealous of Su Fu.
Envious that she came from such a civilization, envious that she remembered such history.
So humans too could build such miracles with their flesh and blood.
That was the deepest and most magnificent will to protect.
At that moment, the Shen Yan system notification sounded:
[Shen Yan Announcement: The trial area “Great Wall Vigil” has met the clearance conditions!]
[Congratulations to all test takers. With your unyielding will and unity of purpose, you have successfully guarded the Great Wall of Ten Thousand Li and passed on the undying torch.]
[Your deeds have transcended the trial itself. The torch burns because of you.]
[All-platform announcement: The Great Wall Vigil dungeon has been successfully completed through the joint efforts of test takers Su Fu, Bai Ya, A Nan… and a total of 125 test takers!]
[Generating a review recording of the Torch Road trial based on your comprehensive performance in the dungeon…]
[This message is for other test takers in the “Foggy Orphan City” and “Winter Is Coming” dungeons: continue to work hard and strive to clear!]
[Warm reminder: Since other “Torch” trial areas have not yet been cleared, all test takers will remain in their respective dungeon spaces temporarily.]
[Wait until all “Torch” trials are finished for unified settlement and teleportation.]
As soon as this announcement was made, the entire online channel instantly exploded.
[Oh my god! Great Wall Vigil cleared already?! How long has it been?!]
[What the heck?! Did you Great Wall team use cheats?]
[Direct jump to 100% clearance? Was that last 10% boss a paper tiger?]
The test takers of [Great Wall Vigil] saw the shock of the other dungeon test takers and felt great.
[Haha! Want to know what we went through?]
[To put it simply, an epic final battle that shook the heavens and earth, darkening the sky, and eclipsing the sun and moon!]
[Let me show you the aftermath: Video [click to view]]
[Looks so tragic. Your Great Wall is beaten to that state, and you still managed to defend it?]
[How did you do it! Tell us quickly!]
[Heh, wait until the Shen Yan system releases the full trial recording, then you’ll know.]
[Then you’ll see just how awesome our [Great Wall Vigil] team is!]
[Our story here can’t be finished in three days and nights! In short, it’s super mind-blowing! You’ll definitely regret it if you don’t watch!]
[Really? You’re exaggerating that much? If it’s not that impressive later, it’ll be embarrassing!]
[I guarantee it’s mind-blowing, super epic! I bet a million contribution points!]
[Beacon smoke, a dragon soaring into the sky, the Black Tide collapsing! Keywords for you!]
[Wow, you’re going all out! I’m kind of looking forward to it now.]
[But by the way, that Great Wall you repaired for so long didn’t seem to do much, did it? It still got smashed to pieces.]
[…Bullshit! What do you know!]
[Without the Great Wall, we wouldn’t have had our final victory!]
[I won’t explain. Wait for the recording. You’ll be shocked when you see it!]
[What’s that? So secretive. I’m curious.]
The test takers of the other two dungeons naturally couldn’t understand the emotional transformation of the Great Wall test takers.
Su Fu found it quite amusing to see the two sides arguing fiercely in the channel.
But watching for too long got boring.
It would be more interesting to watch together during the public execution.
Just then, Chesia said to Su Fu angrily, “You bad guy!”
“Hm?” Su Fu raised an eyebrow.
Chesia grumbled, “You clearly had a big move like the Great Wall of Ten Thousand Li, but you waited until the very end!”
“And you said you didn’t have enough divine power, but just now you were obviously ridiculously strong!”
Su Fu: “…”
She smiled helplessly: “I didn’t expect the divine power effect to be so good in the Great Wall dungeon.”
“Plus there are bonuses from the Shen Yan system and other test takers.”
“It was all unexpected.”
Chesia continued muttering, “Anyway, you’re really bad!”
Su Fu glanced at her and suddenly smiled.
She said softly, “Tell me, how do you think the Great Wall Vigil dungeon we’re in now was formed?”
Chesia: “?”
“The real Great Wall of Ten Thousand Li probably… was destroyed countless ages ago during the Anomaly invasion.”
“Or rather, it vanished in another form.”
“Maybe this dungeon is built based on the ruins.”
Chesia froze instantly, her eyes wide: “Wh-What?!”
She had been immersed in the joy of successfully protecting the Great Wall, but Su Fu’s words directly brought her back to reality.
The real Great Wall was gone?
“OS… ASOS…”
Chesia’s tears fell: “You really, really are a bad guy!”
Su Fu raised an eyebrow: “…Are you really crying?”
Just as the two were bickering, auspicious clouds surged in the sky, and golden light swirled.
Su Fu: “…”
No way? Is it divine blessing again?
Sure enough, before the figure of the deity appeared, the Shen Yan system’s notification arrived first.

A string of divine powers rained down, directly granting ten beams of golden light to the crown.
Before Su Fu could react, the group chat had already gone wild:
[Scrolling… scrolling?! Again, again?!]
[This familiar formula… this familiar taste…]
[That woman! She’s at it again! Another full set of ten!]
[Another divine power gift pack?]
[Folks! Is this reasonable?! Tell me, are divine powers from the Chinese Pantheon free or what?!]
[Su Fu, you sinner! Can’t you let me clear the dungeon properly? Wuwuwu!]
[Just sent a wave, thought it was over, but here it comes again?!]
[Can’t stand it! Is your Chinese dungeon a wholesale store for divine powers?]
[Other dungeons, can you clear faster?! I really don’t want to see this woman show off anymore! (slams desk)]
[Su Fu: Thanks for the invite. I’m at the Great Wall. Just butchered the Black Tide. The gods stuffed me with ten more divine powers. (dog head)]
[Enough of you above! (angry)]
[Here we are, worried about how to overthrow the evil capitalists, and over there, Su Fu is swimming in divine powers!]
[Like free cabbages, they just keep dumping them on Su Fu alone!]
[How can the gap between people be so big?]
[Cough… calm down, calm down, standard procedure. Everyone sit down, don’t spam 6.]
[That’s right, it’s just normal for Su Fu. Not worth making a fuss. (Although I’m shocked too, can’t lose face!)]
[I suspect you Great Wall Vigil team is collectively humble-bragging! And I have evidence!]
[Exactly! Being carried to victory by a big shot like Su Fu is way too awesome!]
[Wherever Su Fu goes, divine powers follow. Let me have such a good life for two days!]
[…]
Meanwhile, in the [Foggy Orphan City] dungeon.
West London District.
Laiyin was lazily leaning back on a soft velvet sofa, lightly swirling a cup of black tea in his hand.
He watched the “spectacle” on the online channel with great interest.
Augustus stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, outside which was the perpetual gray fog of the Foggy City.
He couldn’t understand: “How could Great Wall Vigil be cleared so fast?”
“Is that dungeon that easy?”
“That shouldn’t be it. With Su Fu there, shouldn’t it be harder?”
“Sigh, I really want to see how they did it with my own eyes.”
Laiyin put down his teacup, stroked his chin thoughtfully, and said:
“Augustus, my dear partner, there’s a problem now.”
“What problem?” Augustus asked instinctively.
“The chips you prepared to win over Su Fu earlier, don’t you think we need to raise them?”
“Su Fu seems… not lacking in divine powers.”
Augustus: “…”
Laiyin stood up, walked to the window, and asked with a smile:
“Are you sure that ‘my Lord’s supreme glory and blessing’ you mentioned can make her willingly join?”
Augustus: “…”
He opened his mouth, wanted to say something to refute, but swallowed it back.
Finally, he could only squeeze a few words out from between his teeth, sounding a bit lacking in confidence:
“First… first find her first!”
