The spell's range covers the entire territory of China? Hand it over to the state.

Kunlun Palace, Villa No. 1.

Sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, dappling the dark red solid wood floor. In the spacious Chinese-style living room, a purple-gold incense burner emitted wisps of smoke, mingling with the aroma of specially supplied Da Hong Pao tea in the air, creating a mellow and tranquil atmosphere.

This tranquility stands in stark contrast to the clamor on the other side of the screen.

On the giant screen, the image still flickered occasionally due to residual electromagnetic interference, but overall it was clear. The background noise was the howling sea wind over the South China Sea and Lin Weiguo's booming voice that he simply couldn't control.

"Sir, can you hear me? Hello? This lousy signal! I'm making those guys in the technical department write self-criticisms later. They mess things up at crucial moments. If this delays my chance to report good news to you, I'll kick their asses!"

Long Yi sat on the mahogany sofa, stroking a purple clay teacup in his hand, a smile playing on his lips. He said irritably, "Alright, Lao Lin, stop howling. Are you afraid the whole world won't hear you bragging? I'm just asking you, have you caught everyone yet?"

"Everyone's here! We absolutely have to be here! If even one's missing, I, Lin Weiguo, will twist my head off and let you kick it around like a ball!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Weiguo shifted the camera to the side. The scene instantly zoomed out, revealing a string of damaged Western warships tethered together by heavy towing cables in the background. Those once majestic and invincible steel behemoths on the high seas now resembled a group of wilted eggplants, their hulls tilted, billowing black smoke, drooping and consuming exhaust fumes as they followed the Zhenhai.

"Reporting to the commander, all the 'illegal structures' have been packed up and are being hauled home. As for the foreman George who led the way..." Lin Weiguo's tone became mischievous, and he deliberately lowered his voice, like an old man sharing gossip at a village entrance, "The army doctor just took a look at him. Apart from some dehydration and mental confusion, he's fine. It's just that his pants... tsk tsk, they're soaked with urine, and the smell is a bit pungent. I'm worried that the smell of that pickled vegetable brine will pickle our deck."

Long Yi couldn't help but chuckle, and said with a laugh, "You old geezer, you never say anything serious. He's a four-star general, at least give him some face."

"Give him face? Then who's giving me face?" Lin Weiguo's eyes widened, then his face quickly changed to a fanatical expression. "Commander, you weren't there, you can't understand the shock! Su Guoshi's move... was truly divine!"

He gave a thumbs up: "The golden wall slammed into the sea, and all that bullshit shockwave and lava tsunami was suffocated without a sound! I've been a soldier my whole life, fought countless battles, and I've never felt so proud of myself!"

Lin Weiguo became increasingly agitated as he spoke: "Let me be frank, sir. I used to only admire you, but now I have to add another. Su Guoshi's abilities are so great that awarding him the title of 'National Guardian Master' wouldn't be an exaggeration!"

Su Yun, who was sitting on the side single sofa, was blowing on the floating leaves on the tea. Hearing this, she paused slightly, looked up, and had a helpless smile on her face.

"Commander Lin, please don't flatter me too much. It's because our country has a deep foundation, and I'm just using it as an opportunity to do what's appropriate."

Upon hearing Su Yun's voice, Lin Weiguo on the other end of the screen immediately dropped his joking demeanor, his tone becoming unusually respectful: "Sir Su, you're being too modest. If it weren't for your opportunistic actions, all of us thousands would probably be fish food today. If you can't bear this title, who in the world can?"

Seeing this, Long Yi tapped the table at the right moment, interrupting Lin Weiguo's torrent of flattery: "Alright, stop with the bootlicking. Comrade Su Yun can hear you and knows what's going on. Hurry up and bring him back. Don't let him drift on the sea, lest things get complicated."

"Yes, sir! Mission accomplished! We'll transport you back intact!" Lin Weiguo saluted and then cut off the communication.

The living room fell silent again.

Long Yi put down his purple clay cup, turned to look at Su Yun, and smiled even more broadly, with a hint of teasing: "Look at Lin Weiguo, he's always been so arrogant, never giving an inch to anyone. He fought his whole life, and now in his old age he's become your little fanboy. I bet if you ordered him to demolish the Pentagon right now, he'd be carrying a satchel charge and charging to the front lines for you."

Su Yun also thought of Lin Weiguo's change in demeanor, shook his head and smiled: "Commander Lin is a man of true character. Besides, if he hadn't put on a show to lure the enemy, I wouldn't have had the chance to test my skills."

At this point, Su Yun's gaze drifted slightly.

The system panel, visible only to him, rippled through the air like waves.

The Great Wall: A National Treasure

[Description: Starting from Lintao and ending in Liaodong, it stretches for over ten thousand miles. It is a wall built of flesh and blood, the upright backbone of the nation. A thousand years of wind and frost have not broken it, and the eternal sky has protected the land.]

[Effect: Passively triggered. When the border is attacked (including but not limited to physical, energy, and law-based attacks), it automatically materializes into a conceptual barrier.]

[Defense Mechanism: Internally, it triggers the "Peace and Prosperity" effect, absorbing all shocks and calming the public's fear; externally, it triggers the "Rejection" effect, absolutely blocking all damage judged as "Invasion" until the nation's fortune is exhausted.]

[Current cost: 10 mana (already deducted), Maintenance cost: 0 (compensated by the faith of 1.4 billion citizens and the natural ley lines).]

[Note: As long as the wall stands, the nation stands. Want to come in? First, ask this vast land if it will allow it.]

Looking at the domineering nickname, Su Yun couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Sometimes, the way the system talks can be quite engaging.

The upper limit of this skill doesn't actually lie in his current level, but in how much history this land beneath his feet holds, how much blood has been shed here. The richer the history, the more unbreakable this wall becomes.

The so-called "miracle" is nothing more than the weight of five thousand years being released in a single moment.

"What are you thinking about?" Long Yi's voice interrupted Su Yun's thoughts.

The old man was observing Su Yun's expression with great interest, as if trying to discern something from the eighteen-year-old boy's face.

Su Yun snapped out of her reverie, her fingers lightly tapping the sofa armrest. The relaxed expression on her face slowly faded, replaced by a deep composure beyond her years.

"Elder Long, don't you find this strange?"

"What's strange?" Long Yi also stopped smiling and leaned forward slightly.

He understood Su Yun. Although this young man appeared gentle and easygoing on the surface, he was actually a man of great wisdom and would never speak carelessly at a time when celebrating victory.

Su Yun pondered for a moment: "The US probe is codenamed 'God's Hammer.' A second before it pierced the sea level, my 'Yunmengze' domain had already completely taken over the physical rules of that area. Logically speaking, its oscillation program had no chance to start."

"You mean..." Long Yi's eyes narrowed, and his hand holding the teacup froze in mid-air.
