My ex-girlfriend thought I was poor, so I made 100 million by betting on stones.

Sima Shan looked around and said, "Very good, you have all done very well. You can step outside now."

"Yes."

These people immediately understood Sima Shan's meaning, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation.

This means that Sima Shan is about to activate this unprecedented and unparalleled top-level barrier.

The area covered by this barrier will directly encompass the entire China, Southeast Asia, and the South Asian subcontinent.

This place, which once housed billions of people, will soon become their kingdom.

As these people left.

Only Sima Shan remained on the empty plain.

Sima Shan's body was also trembling slightly with excitement.

He looked up at the sky.

There's still half an hour left.

In another half hour, it will be completely daylight.

At that time, I ended that old era.

Sima Shan waved his hand casually.

All the sand and dust on the ground were cleared away.

He sat on the ground, cross-legged, closed his eyes to rest, and waited for the time to come.

Time passed second by second.

Sima Shan sat upright in the center of the formation, his eyes closed and his expression solemn.

When the first ray of sunlight pierced through the clouds and landed precisely on the mountaintop platform he had leveled, his spiritual energy suddenly surged.

"The time has come."

The deep sound seemed not to come from the throat, but rather to resonate with the ground beneath their feet, causing the gravel at the edge of the platform to tremble slightly.

He formed a complex and ancient hand seal in front of his chest, and as his fingers flew, the afterimages almost merged into a dark ball of light.

He began chanting obscure and difficult-to-understand incantations, each syllable heavy as a mountain, carrying a wild and untamed aura. It was no longer human language, but more like the primal sound of tectonic plates colliding and squeezing together.

boom!

Centered on him, a visible dark golden ripple suddenly spread outwards.

It didn't rush towards the sky, but rather, like a heavy torrent, it crashed into the ground.

The entire platform, no, the entire mountain, shook violently, as if a sleeping giant had been forcibly awakened, groaning under the strain.

The earth's veins have been activated.

The array bases, which were set up in countless hidden corners of China, Southeast Asia, and South Asia, were simultaneously activated by the powerful spiritual energy emanating from the depths of the earth's veins.

In the east, atop Mount Tai, a seemingly ordinary, rugged rock suddenly illuminates with intricate patterns, its light shooting straight into the still-dim sky, merging with the dawn and connecting with the fortunes of the mountains and rivers of Shandong.

In the west, deep within a valley frozen for millennia in the high mountains, an array engraved beneath the ice radiates a blazing white light, melting the thousand-year-old ice and releasing a cloud of spiritual energy mist that is quickly absorbed and transformed by the array, becoming part of the barrier's framework.

In the south, deep within the ancient forests, a giant tree, long dead and over ten meters in diameter, has its bark peeled away, revealing luminous patterns spreading like blood vessels, frantically draining the remaining life force and energy of this tropical rainforest.

In the north, at the junction of grassland and desert, the ruins of an ancient underground city are illuminated by scattered lights among the broken walls, which quickly connect to form a huge network of light covering several kilometers, absorbing the vastness and desolation of the barren land.

The central array base where Sima Shan is located has now become the eye of the storm in the entire energy network.

A dark golden pillar of spiritual energy shot up from the top of his head, disappearing into the sky. But after reaching a certain extreme height, it crashed into an invisible dome, crashing back and spreading wildly in all directions along a predetermined arc that covered half the continent.

hum!

A deep, long, and omnipresent hum resounded throughout the world.

This is not a sound, but a tremor that directly affects the soul level of all life.

Countless survivors, hiding in various corners, felt a sudden heaviness in their hearts, as if the sky had shrunk, the air had become thick, and an invisible shackle had been quietly placed around the neck of the world.

At the edge of the barrier, the survivors on the predetermined boundary witnessed a sight they would never forget.

On the distant horizon, a translucent, dark golden light curtain, stretching to the heavens and connecting to the earth, is slowly but irresistibly rising from the edge of the land! It is not vertical, but rather has a perfect arc, like the edge of an inverted giant bowl, slowly closing towards the sky.

Wherever the light curtain passed, the clouds were pushed aside and torn apart, the light was refracted in an eerie way, and the distant mountain scenery was distorted and deformed.

Birds and beasts scattered in panic, but the moment they touched the light barrier, it was as if they had crashed into the hardest wall. Some fainted and fell, while others were directly annihilated by the barrier containing the power of rules into the most basic energy particles, which were then integrated into the light barrier, making it more solid.

The earth is groaning.

Near the boundary, the vegetation loses its luster and turns yellow at a visible rate.

It's not simply withering, but rather a kind of "existence" being extracted; color, vitality, and even a part of the stability of "reality" are all being lost and flowing into that ever-rising magnificent light curtain.

The light curtain rose higher and higher, converging from all directions toward the zenith where Sima Mountain was located.

Above the southwestern center, a dark golden vortex has formed, slowly rotating and devouring energy flows and fragments of rules from all directions.

At the center of the vortex, runes could be faintly seen appearing and disappearing, which was the manifestation of Sima Shan's will and the prototype of the new laws he had set for this world that was about to be isolated.

Sima Shan's figure was almost invisible in the increasingly bright light; only his majestic, godlike voice, aided by the power of the barrier, faintly echoed between the soon-to-be-isolated world.

"The old order crumbles, chaos descends. This realm must be destroyed, to become the foundation of a new world. The laws are redefined, all things return to order. In my name, I seal the borders! I forsake the realm!"

"start!!!"

The final shout was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, or the spark that ignited a prairie fire.

Rumble! ...

The continental plates seemed to have shifted an inch. The light from all the array bases reached its peak at this moment, and then, from the outside in, like a zipper being pulled up, the light curtains that rose from all four sides collided, connected, and merged in the very center of the sky!

An unprecedented dark golden arc of light, covering an area of ​​tens of millions of square kilometers, flashed across the sky.

Immediately following, an extremely thin, almost invisible but undeniably present membrane appears.

Centered on the zenith, it instantly spread across the entire sky covered by the barrier, then quickly sank down, perfectly combining with another layer of power membrane rising from the depths of the earth to form a complete, spherical, enclosed body.

The sky seemed to have dimmed slightly, and the world seemed to have lost some of its vibrancy.

The sound of the wind seemed to be filtered out, becoming muffled.

The sounds that were faintly audible in the distance from other parts of the world have completely disappeared.

An absolute, suffocating silence and sense of isolation enveloped this vast land.

Sima Shan's super barrier is complete.

Sima Shan, having exhausted the power of the dragon vein, opened his eyes again.

He looked at his masterpiece and smiled.

"In the next moment, I will speak to the world!"

Sima Shan's eyes were filled with smugness and madness.
