“However, this also comes with a price.”

Felix sighed, a sadness evident on his face, as he said, “The people of this country will expend their life force to maintain the barrier’s maximum operation, so a lot of people will definitely die in this war.”

At the same time, Moter, the reincarnation of Lucius, sat quietly by the window in his study, his fingers unconsciously caressing a map on the table. It depicted the land soon to become a battlefield. His gaze occasionally fell on familiar place names, a complex emotion indescribable in words—apprehension and unease about an unknown fate—surged in his heart.

In the room, the lamplight flickered, casting a warm golden hue on everything around, but it failed to dispel the chill in his heart.

He tried flipping through a few ancient tomes, hoping to find a hint of tranquility, but the pages seemed to dance with brutal descriptions of past wars, burdening his mood even further.

Moter put down the book, clasped his head in his hands, and closed his eyes.

“I really am different from Lucius. If it were him, he would never resent the arrival of war.”

His thoughts ran wild like an untamed steed, unceasing in their fervor. He thought of his family, worried about whether his performance would bring shame to the Fischer family, fearing deep down that war might bring not only the glory of victory but also endless sorrow and separation.

“How could I be so weak…”

Moter’s heart was filled with unwillingness to leave his loved ones, especially his gentle wife. They were supposed to share life together, yet now they faced separation, riddled with uncertainty about the future.

In fact, since getting married, he realized that he had become increasingly weak…

Perhaps it was Elena who had changed him…

Moter startled slightly, suddenly realizing what he shared in common with Lucius, for the Lucius of the past had also been changed by his loved ones…

He stood and paced back and forth in the room, each step echoing his inner struggle and contradiction.

Finally, he halted, his gaze resolutely fixed on the darkness outside the window.

He knew that no matter the turmoil and tension, he would have to stand up and face the coming war, for the sake of his Fischer family, to meet everything that lay ahead.

——

The barrier activated.

It was a massive crimson barrier that in an instant enveloped the entire Seven Luminaries Mainland on the Ouden Continent.

Within this realm shrouded by the crimson barrier, the prayers of the people were incessant, resembling a grand and moving symphony, with each note bearing the weight of hopes for the future.

Somewhere in a city near the Imperial City, an elderly priest stood at the forefront of a crowd. He held an ancient magic wand, his eyes closed tightly, his lips moving silently, leading the people in a solemn prayer ceremony.

His voice was calm and forceful, as if it could pierce the clouds and reach the sky:

“O great Gods, please hear our humble request, beneath this crimson canopy, we seek your protection, let your radiance illuminate our path, guide us toward victory and prosperity!”

In the crowd, a young mother clutched her child tightly, tears shimmering in her eyes, as she whispered softly, “May my child grow up healthy, far from illness and disaster, may his future be filled with light and hope.”

Not far away, an old man, with the support of the youth, knelt on the ground, trembling. His voice was weak but heartfelt:

“O God, I have lived through countless trials, witnessed the rise and fall of the Seven Suns, now in this critical moment, I pray for you to bestow on us wisdom and courage, let us protect this land that we deeply love!”

And in the fields of the countryside, farmers put down their tools and formed a circle, together they prayed:

“`

“May this land forever remain unspoiled; our enemies unable to take our soil. Let our crops grow strong and our harvests be bounteous, may we no longer suffer the pain of hunger and poverty!”

In the streets and alleys of the city, craftsmen, merchants, scholars, and people of all professions stopped their work. They gathered together to express a shared longing:

“May our nation always be strong, as impregnable as this crimson barrier!”

These prayers fused into a powerful force, traveling through the crimson barrier and reaching towards the distant sky, as if bearing witness to the resilience of the people of the Seven Suns Empire.

An indescribable power quietly coalesced in the air!

This was not a tangible material force, but a mental power that originated from the depths of the soul. It transcended the boundaries of age, gender, occupation, and status, intimately connecting the hearts of every supplicant.

Beneath the reflection of the crimson barrier, people seemed to feel each other’s fear, worry, hope, and expectation. Ultimately, this force came together in a powerful surge of spiritual power that broke the chains of the physical world, becoming an inexhaustible force sustaining the Imperial Barrier!

At this moment, in the Capital of the Seven Suns Empire, numerous powerful beings from all directions had gathered. They were strong warriors filled with strength, spellcasters adept in magic, all of them looking up to witness something astounding!@@novelbin@@

“Look at the barrier; it’s undergoing some kind of change!”

“It is said to be a fearsome barrier laid down many years ago by an ancient Quasi-god, only to be modified by generation after generation of Heavenly Enlightenment for what it is now!”

An unprecedented change was quietly taking place on this ancient and mystical land—the Crimson Barrier bloomed in the sky like a resplendent flower, enveloping the entire city, while the diligent prayers of the people, like trickling streams converging into a sea, formed an immeasurable spiritual force!

Under the influence of this power, the strong ones within the Imperial City seemed to be infused with new life.

Their breathing became more steady, their power of bloodline quietly climbing without notice, their life force becoming more robust and resilient under the nourishment of prayer, and each swing of their swords seemed to be able to sever the constraints of space; spellcasters felt the spiritual power within them boiling, as if with a light flick of their fingers, they could release a spell light far more brilliant than ever before!

The immense power provided by the Crimson Barrier not only strengthened their power of bloodline but also ignited the belief deep in their hearts. At this moment, there was no more fear in people.

Even faced with the legendary Heavenly Enlightenments, they remained filled with the conviction to fight to the death!

Under the backdrop of the Crimson Barrier, the night sky of the Capital of the Seven Suns Empire appeared exceptionally dazzling.

And beneath this starry sky, the numerous Monarchs of the Seven Luminaries Mainland exchanged glances, their eyes flashing with the same light—the longing for victory, the unwavering belief to defend this land!

Members of the Fischer family also felt their strengths rapidly increasing.

Felix was astonished, staring at the barrier, and muttered to himself:

“The original creator of this barrier must have been an unimaginably fearsome being, perhaps only a Quasi-god of that level could endow the barrier with such effects. With the recent enhancement, even an Extraordinary Exponent of low-level Monarch rank could stand a chance against a mid-level Monarch.”

He paused, a trace of shock in his tone:

“No wonder, no wonder the powerful Lorne Empire has never dared to attack the Seven Luminaries Mainland, because I can’t even imagine to what extent that God of War would be strengthened under a barrier of this rank?”

Darren also keenly felt the massive enhancement of strength. Although his spirituality power had not increased, the enhancement of mental power and life force was evident.

He couldn’t help but laugh out loud, looking toward his son Felix, and said, “If that God of War Emperor really succeeded, the power he would possess under this barrier’s enhancement would truly be ‘invincible’… Of course, that’s not taking into account those false gods and the real Gods.”

“All in all, the situation is quite clear, what we need to do now is to buy time! No matter what, we must give our current allies enough time to break through successfully!”

“And when that time comes, victory will be ours!”
