Whew~

Rumble~

The impact of the meteorite breaking through the atmosphere became increasingly noticeable, as if even the earth itself was trembling.

The skeleton army, lacking independent thought, continues its relentless climb towards the mountaintop, oblivious to impending destruction.

Chang Shengtian, transformed into Black Scaled Great Serpent, carried Lu Bai straight to the foot of the mountain at an astonishing speed.

However, Lu Bai was still not satisfied. He patted Chang Shengtian's head scale and urged him on.

"Faster!"

The impact of a meteorite with a diameter of one kilometer can easily release more than the explosive energy equivalent of one billion tons of TNT.

This will inevitably trigger a chain reaction, such as climate change, volcanic eruptions, crustal movement, and even rupture.

It is no exaggeration to say that a meteorite impact of this size would be an absolute global catastrophe.

However, the most terrifying part is that...

There are at least one hundred meteorites of this size in the sky.

Upon seeing the sheer number of meteorites, Lu Bai instantly realized that it was impossible to escape the blast radius.

He decisively chose to pull Chang Shengtian up, letting it carry him down the mountain to seize the last chance for survival.

A massive Black Scaled Great Serpent, tens of meters long, swam through the air, and beneath its enormous shadow, one could occasionally see fighters fleeing in panic.

A meteor shower, a devastating natural disaster, descended, plunging the area around Yanghu Zi Mountain into complete chaos.

Some of the fighters were fleeing for their lives, while others were racing against time to try and reach a temporary agreement. Even though Lu Bai rode past so ostentatiously on his Black Scaled Great Serpent, few people paid any attention to him.

But there is some good news, to be fair.

At least these deathmatchers are no longer hiding their true identities, which makes it easier for Lu Bai to select the right groups.

As the Black Scaled Great Serpent flew, lines of small text continuously appeared on Lu Bai's retina.

[Data file detected, read now?]

[Data file detected, read now?]

After all, the ability to read data cannot be stored in its entirety; it must either be retained or discarded.

Therefore, Lu Bai didn't have time to carefully read the descriptions of these abilities. No matter what abilities he acquired, he just skimmed through them.

To increase his reading speed, he even used [Flash Time].

[Three Harmonies Great God (Silver)]?

[The Great Swordsman's Flying Slash) ]?

[Probability Prediction (Lottery)]?

After looking around, none of them seemed very useful, so they were ruled out.

The silver one doesn't even need to be read.

[Light Speed Regeneration (Color)]... wait, huh?

Lu Bai carefully read the description of this ability.

[Light Speed Regeneration (Color): Ultimate recovery ability; regardless of the severity of the injury, it can instantly heal itself. The cost depends on the severity of the injury.]

It's somewhat useful, but unfortunately, it's only good for self-defense.

What Lu Bai wants now is not self-preservation.

If his only goal was to survive this meteor shower, with so many abilities available, he could easily assemble a set of abilities sufficient to get him through this crisis.

He's rather greedy; what he wants now is to try and quell this disaster.

During the time that Chang Shengtian carried him around, a large number of meteorites gradually approached the Earth's surface.

The booming sound from above was so loud it made people's eardrums ache.

Perhaps it was psychological, but Lu Bai even felt that the surrounding temperature had risen significantly.

"Little... Little White, do we still want to continue?! Or should we hurry up..."

Chang Shengtian couldn't control his trembling voice in this situation.

If Lu Bai hadn't insisted, it probably would have already fled for its life.

"Don't speak, continue searching for the Reincarnated Demon."

Lu Bai's gaze never left the ability panel, thanks to the lack of negative emotions.

In moments like these, his heart is at peace.

With Lu Bai's attitude so firm, Chang Shengtian had no choice but to grit his teeth and endure it.

More and more deathmatchers are noticing that they have lost their abilities, and in addition to feeling despair, they are also feeling utterly bewildered.

"Etc!"

Chang Shengtian flew over a dirt slope, where several fighters gathered.

As before, after reading their abilities, Lu Bai quickly determined whether they were useful.

One of the more unusual abilities caught his attention.

[Scrap Recycling (Color): Based on the law of causality, anything that is subjectively conceived by humans or has been abandoned can be considered waste, and anything that is waste can be recycled.]

This ability...

Lu Bai immediately recalled the Silver Ability he had seen before but had not yet read.

[Three Harmonies Great God (Silver): A unique lifestyle of the lower class, living a life of idleness and complacency, not affecting others, but all personal property they possess is considered worthless and worthless.]

Lu Bai suddenly slammed his palm down on Chang Shengtian's crown. "Go back the way you came, to the path on the west slope."

With the meteor shower imminent, Chang Shengtian's hopes were entirely pinned on Lu Bai.

No matter how bizarre the request was, it couldn't be bothered to question it anymore.

The enormous Black Scaled Great Serpent decisively turned around in mid-air and sped to the location Lu Bai had indicated.

Fortunately, the fighter with the [Three Harmonies Great God] ability hadn't gone too far.

[Data file detected, read now?]

"Read."

In Lu Bai's temporary save slot, only the [Full Map Vision] option was retained.

[Death Note] and [Your Name Is Li Si] have been replaced by [Scrap Recycling] and [Three Harmonies Great God].

At this moment, the fastest falling meteorite in the sky has approached within a kilometer of the ground.

The most optimistic estimate is that there are only a little over ten seconds left before the object hits the ground.

"Xiao Chang, take off and get me to the meteorite."

Upon hearing this, Chang Shengtian's vertical pupils involuntarily turned to Lu Bai, completely bewildered. Had he lost his mind?

"There's no time to explain."

Lu Bai's calm tone somewhat soothed Chang Shengtian's anxious and uneasy state of mind.

"... Fine, I'll just risk my life with you."

Chang Shengtian cursed and swore as he rose into the air like a rocket.

A meteorite with a diameter of one kilometer can only be truly appreciated in its enormous size once you get close.

The intense heat generated by the friction between the meteorite's surface and the air is enough to melt iron.

Even from a great distance, the scorching heat caused the ends of Lu Bai's hair to curl slightly.

Upon reaching the direct base of the meteorite, our view was completely obscured, and we could no longer see the night sky; our pupils reflected the firelight.

"We can't get any closer."

Chang Shengtian roared.

That's enough.

Lu Bai pressed his right hand on Chang Shengtian's scales to stabilize his body, while the Great Serpent Phantom in his left hand sped away.

These released meteorites are ownerless.

As long as you can touch it, you nominally own it.

The Great Serpent Phantom, formed from Mana, struggled to extend towards the meteorite's surface despite the thousands of degrees of heat.

The moment he touched her, a smile involuntarily crept onto Lu Bai's lips.

As it turned out, his idea was correct.

"Recycle."
