After the battle ended, Gu Sheng stood silently on the battlefield, gazing at the devastation and the fallen comrades surrounding him. His heart was heavy with grief and regret, but he understood that this war was necessary. For the future and peace of the Human Clan, they had to persevere to the end!

"Brothers, rest in peace," Gu Sheng whispered softly, his eyes filled with resolve and determination. "We will continue to fight until the Holy Demon Clan is completely driven out of our homeland!"

As the situation gradually stabilized, Gu Sheng retreated from the fierce battlefield. He took a deep breath and summoned his Grass Vine Demon Soul. The vine stretched over seven thousand meters, lush and vibrant, exuding immense life force and corrosive power.

"Leader Su Xian, Elder Wen, come to me. I will use the vine to heal your wounds," Gu Sheng spoke with a voice that, though small, carried immense strength.

Upon hearing his words, Su Xian and Wen Mingyan approached Gu Sheng. Gu Sheng controlled the Grass Vine Demon Soul, gently wrapping it around their wounds. The vine seemed almost alive, lightly wriggling at the injured areas and releasing green spiritual energy.

"What a comforting feeling," Su Xian murmured, sensing her wounds quickly healing.

Wen Mingyan also expressed amazement: "This vine possesses such miraculous healing abilities!"

Before long, the injuries of Su Xian, Wen Mingyan, and the others were healed. Without resting, Gu Sheng once again released a massive amount of vines, spreading across the battlefield like an army. These vines not only corroded remnants of Holy Demon Clan soldiers but also emitted green spiritual energy to heal the wounds of allied forces.

"What's happening? These vines are healing us!" a soldier exclaimed in surprise.

"It's Gu Sheng! He's helping us!" another soldier shouted excitedly.

With the aid of Gu Sheng's Grass Vine Demon Soul, the morale of the Human Clan's alliance soared. Meanwhile, Holy Demon Clan soldiers fell one after another under the corrosive power of the vines. This shift in fortune quickly led the Holy Demon Clan to collapse, scattering in all directions.

In the following months, the Human Clan began a campaign to eradicate the Holy Demon Clan. During the campaign, Gu Sheng's Grass Vine Demon Soul proved to be invaluable, serving both as a weapon to destroy enemies and a tool to heal allies. Under Gu Sheng's leadership, the Human Clan alliance advanced rapidly, forcing the Holy Demon Clan into a desperate situation.

Finally, thanks to Gu Sheng and his comrades' efforts, the passage between the Holy Demon World and the Human Clan World was once again sealed. The war ended with a decisive victory for the Human Clan.

"We won!" Gu Sheng raised the Seven-colored Jade Maiden Sword high and cheered loudly. His voice echoed across the battlefield, uplifting the hearts of everyone present.

"Brother Gu Sheng, you are the hero of our Human Clan!" Wen Mingyan exclaimed, patting Gu Sheng's shoulder with excitement.

Su Xian also walked over, her eyes shimmering with gratitude as she looked at Gu Sheng. "Thank you, Gu Sheng. It was your leadership that brought us victory."

Gu Sheng smiled faintly and shook his head. "This victory belongs to all of us. Without everyone's efforts, we couldn't have defeated the Holy Demon Clan."

With the passage sealed and the defeat of the Holy Demon Clan, the Human Clan entered a peaceful era once again.

As the Holy Demon Clan retreated and the passage was sealed, the Human Clan celebrated a long-awaited period of peace. Amid the jubilant atmosphere, Empress Zishuang decided to host a grand victory banquet to honor the heroes who had made outstanding contributions during the war.

The banquet was held in the palace's grandest hall. The hall's opulent decorations and dazzling lights reflected the royal family's prestige and authority. Inside, the hall buzzed with chatter, as heroes from all walks of life gathered with joy etched onto their faces.

"Her Majesty the Empress!" announced the usher loudly. Empress Zishuang gracefully entered the hall, dressed in a magnificent imperial robe and adorned with a glittering crown, exuding both majesty and elegance. Her appearance was immediately met with thunderous applause and cheers.

Empress Zishuang smiled and waved to the crowd, then took her place at the high podium. Sweeping her gaze across everyone present, she began to speak, "Today, we are gathered here to honor the brave heroes who fearlessly fought in the war and achieved extraordinary feats. Their sacrifices and efforts were the key to our victory."

After pausing briefly, she continued, "First, I will confer the title of Duke upon Gu Sheng, granting him ten estates, three thousand Purple Spirit Stones, one hundred Gathering Spirit Pills, and countless gold and silver treasures."

Hearing his name mentioned, Gu Sheng froze for a moment before stepping forward, kneeling, and saluting. "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your benevolence!"

With a smile, Empress Zishuang helped him to his feet and said, "Gu Sheng, your performance during the war has not gone unnoticed. These rewards are well-earned. I hope you will continue to contribute to the prosperity of the Human Clan."

As Gu Sheng's honors were bestowed, the hall erupted into thunderous applause again. Following this were the commendations of Gu Wan, Lu Biluo, Lin Qingyu, Lin Miaomiao, Mo Buwen, and others. Each received substantial rewards and recognition, their faces glowing with pride and satisfaction.

When all the awards were distributed, Empress Zishuang spoke again. "This victory banquet is not only to honor all of you but also to celebrate the triumph of the entire Human Clan. From now on, we must stand even more united to protect our homeland together!"

Her words were followed by roaring applause and cheers. Everyone felt pride and excitement for being part of this grand celebration.

Then came the festivities. The hall was filled with fine wine and exquisite food. Representatives from various sects and clans raised their glasses to celebrate the arrival of victory and peace. Music filled the hall, and dancers performed captivating routines for the crowd.

Amid the joyful atmosphere, Gu Sheng and his companions finally relaxed, savoring this rare respite and happiness. They knew that although the war was over, the road ahead was long. They were ready to continue cultivating and increasing their strength to contribute to the prosperity and peace of the Human Clan.

At the corner of the hall, Empress Zishuang stood quietly, her gaze deep and determined. She understood the victory had come at great cost and that the future would demand even more effort. But she believed that through everyone's joint efforts, the Human Clan would undoubtedly usher in a brighter future.

"Gu Sheng," Empress Zishuang suddenly called softly.

Gu Sheng turned to her. "Your Majesty, how may I assist?"

"Your extraordinary achievements in this battle have been remarkable. I wish to hear your thoughts on the road ahead," Empress Zishuang said with a smile.

Gu Sheng pondered briefly before responding, "Your Majesty, I believe we should strengthen collaboration and interaction between the various clans and sects. Only by standing united can we better face the challenges ahead."

Empress Zishuang nodded in agreement. "You are absolutely right. Unity and cooperation were key to our victory. I hope you will continue to demonstrate your leadership and contribute to the unity and prosperity of the Human Clan."

Their conversation drew the attention of those nearby, who looked on with approval.

Having received his awards, Gu Sheng began mingling with his old friends.

"Gu Sheng, well done!"

"Duke, the future looks promising!"

Praises poured in like waves, and Gu Sheng smiled and nodded in response, feeling particularly relaxed after receiving the accolades. In this moment, he was undoubtedly the focus of the entire hall. As Empress Zishuang concluded the commendations, the hall grew even more lively. The heroes' gathering officially began, and Gu Sheng eagerly joined the grand feast.

Inside the hall, Jadescent Nectar flowed like rivers, and tables were laden with Immortal Fruits and delicacies. Representatives from various clans and sects came together, their laughter and conversations blending into a jubilant symphony.

"Brother Sheng, congratulations!" Gu Wan strode over, clapping Gu Sheng on the shoulder with a sincere smile. "You made great contributions during this war!"

"Not at all. Without everyone's collective effort, there would be no victory today," Gu Sheng replied modestly.

Lu Biluo also approached, her white robe fluttering like an immortal's attire. "Gu Sheng, your achievements in this battle are indeed remarkable. But don't forget, our competition isn't over yet."
