As time passed, the sky-high dust gradually dissipated.

Revealing a massive crater over a hundred meters in diameter, seemingly formed by a meteor impact.

Lv Bai swung his hand as he walked out of the crater.

When the people saw the scene inside the crater, a wave of ecstatic cheers burst forth.

This image also spread across the globe through the live broadcast.

For a moment, major cities boiled over, human civilization lights continued burning, and nobody would feel less than thrilled.

Everyone saw that since the arrival of the bizarre threats, the gloom was to be swept away starting this moment.

Live broadcast audiences were so excited that they jumped up, smashing whatever furniture they grabbed as if venting their long-held repressed emotions.

Though the sky was still bright, some couldn’t wait to ignite fireworks.

Meanwhile, online, the excitement was exploding.

Everyone was talking about Lv Bai, praising his heroic deeds.

If anyone dared to question the title of Guardian God now, they’d be shot down with thousands of comments.

Of course, Lv Bai knew that the matter wasn’t entirely over.

At the very least, he still had to figure out a way to deal with the strange threats spread across the globe, one by one.

Luckily, Lv Bai wasn’t without clues concerning this issue.

With a quick move and a few leaps, he returned to the rooftop.

Ignoring the reverent and fervent gazes from the people on the rooftop, he bent down to pick up the mirror that a bizarre black-winged entity had thrown to the ground.

The cloud patterns on the back of this mirror had an ancient charm, but some gaps unfortunately marred its beauty.

Lv Bai weighed it in his hand, then took a mirror fragment from his pocket, compared the edges of the gap briefly, and pieced it together.

The mechanical prompt of the Deathmatch System rang out just in time.

[Ding!]

[Current Death Arena Node appeared.]

[Death Fighters who acquire the Node will receive double points reward]

[Real-time positioning for the Node completed. (Click to view)]

...

[Ding!]

[Current Death Arena Node acquired.]

[Double points reward countdown—]

[23:59:59]

...

Although Lv Bai’s face wore the usual smile, he wasn’t overly surprised inwardly.

In fact, for him now, the "Node" was merely icing on the cake.

Even without the "Node," he could still vanquish the bizarre threats.

It was merely a matter of time.

Lv Bai had just attached the Cloud Mirror to his chest and wrapped it securely with a cloth strip.

Minister Zhang jogged over, gratefully extending his hands to grab something but feared his actions might be too abrupt and offend Lv Bai.

He had to clasp his right hand with his left hand, sincerely saying, "Master Lv, I must represent all the people to express our gratitude to you."

Lv Bai quickly hid the title on his head, replacing it with "Innocent Smile," maximizing his affinity.

"No need to thank me, it’s what I should do."

Even in front of the live broadcast cameras, Minister Zhang had no intention to hide anything.

He straightforwardly said, "If you have any needs, just say them; as long as we can fulfill them, we will."

Perhaps over time, some may feel dissatisfied, as such is human nature.

But at this current juncture, no one would object, not even a tiny voice of dissent in the live broadcast rooms.

After all, objectively speaking, Lv Bai’s actions had indeed safeguarded all humanity, no matter the reward he wanted, it pales in comparison to the survival of human civilization.

"This is fine as it is."

Lv Bai waved his hands and added, "If there must be a request, then I hope you can complete the post-disaster reconstruction work as soon as possible, minimizing the adverse situation for the people."

He spoke thus to quickly achieve his target task, though others didn’t know that.

So upon hearing this, Minister Zhang and the surrounding high officials couldn’t help but grow solemnly respectful.

In their view, such noble and selfless character deservedly matched the title of Guardian God.

Minister Zhang promptly thumped his chest and assuredly said, "Rest assured, I will oversee the process to ensure no man-made issues arise."

"Well, let it be for now; I’ll go deal with those remaining bizarre threats."

Lv Bai threw out these words and, without waiting for Minister Zhang and others to respond, vaulted over the railing and swiftly departed.

...

It’s worth mentioning that Lv Bai claimed he was going to tackle the remaining bizarre threats.

In reality, he was searching for Death Fighters, hoping to grab some more points.

[Ding!]

[Points +12, current points: 58, current rank 1/37]

While gaining points, he also incidentally resolved some bizarre threats.

He took two laps around the containment center and could finally say that he was the only Death Fighter left there.

The entire process posed no difficulty to him.

After all, Death Fighters conspicuously carried large titles above their heads, a craft poorly suited to the real world, visible from afar, unable to escape.

With the Overbearing Power that Lv Bai possessed, the biggest challenge was actually acting before the Death Fighters committed suicide.

Regarding the dozens of remaining Death Fighters, they were indeed hard to find.

Having not come to the containment center initially, they were certainly dispersed and hidden away, and who knew where they hid.

To seek them all out, the time and effort required might be considerable.

Fortunately, Lv Bai wasn’t obsessive-compulsive; if luck allowed him to find them, he would take care of them effortlessly, without being hindered.

If he never encountered them before this round of Deathmatch ends, it’s no big deal.

With mastery of the abilities Load and Restore, which were both Black Level, other titles and talents were inconsequential.

...

"I know you can communicate, you’d better not play dead."

Lv Bai hovered steadily in mid-air across from a menacing eyeball larger than his whole body.

Perhaps having seen Lv Bai beat down the bizarre black-winged entity with such Overbearing Power, after a moment of silence, the menacing eyeball reluctantly responded.

The eyelid barely twitched, expressing a rather human emotion of bewilderment.

"You bizarre beings have special ways to communicate, right? I hope you now notify all bizarre beings, I offer you two choices..."

Lv Bai spoke as he removed the Cloud Mirror hanging from his chest, cheerfully saying, "...First choice, willingly come in the next two days, live inside this mirror.

Second choice, if they opt not to survive, I’ll personally find and eliminate them."

The menacing eyeball seemed sluggish in reaction, shivering only after a while.

Seeing this, Lv Bai’s smile grew kinder, unbeknownst when he’d wielded a Yama Blade.

"Don’t worry, just honestly notify them, okay?"
