The Sky Had Dawned

"I... I'm still alive?"

"It's Guardian God!"

"Great, our Guardian God has finally arrived."

"We're safe now, right?"

After a brief moment of shock, the crowd gradually erupted into excitement.

After all, with such a strong promotion from the authorities, very few people are unfamiliar with Lu Bai, this "Guardian God."

Moreover, in the previous pitch-black environment, the people had already despaired and thought they were about to be killed by a strange entity.

Not only were they alive, but their "Guardian God" was also right beside them. Amidst their fluctuating emotions, no one could hear what Lu Bai was saying.

Of course, as people excitedly approached Lu Bai, the influence of Lu Bai's titles made them feel as if they couldn't breathe, but they were too excited to notice this for the time being.

Seeing the agitated state of the crowd, Lu Bai had no choice but to press his hands down to signal everyone to quiet down.

Once the crowd had regained some of their composure, he said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, everyone. I've dealt with the strange occurrences nearby."

At least they can still use the Spirit Bomb; there's no need to ruin their persona.

Before he could finish speaking, the crowd erupted in cheers once more.

However, this period of good fortune did not last long.

Amidst the excitement, it was hard for the crowd not to notice the oppressive feeling that the title evoked.

The concept of momentum, though seemingly abstract, is undeniably real.

Because the three titles that Lu Bai is currently wearing have not been changed or hidden, people can even still smell the strong stench of blood.

His originally harmless smile now had a chilling quality that became increasingly unsettling the more you looked at it.

If one didn't know that Lu Bai was the official Guardian God of humanity, this sense of oppression would be even more eerie than anything else.

For some reason, the people present gradually became tense, and the smiles on their faces visibly stiffened.

Some people even leaned forward and carefully took a few steps back.

Lu Bai quickly realized this, but he was too lazy to hide his title any longer.

I simply borrowed a phone from an office worker in front of me, then turned and left.

After watching Lu Bai leave, the people present dared to breathe a sigh of relief, a wave of fear washing over them, even though they didn't know exactly what they were afraid of.

After some time, the high-ranking officials and staff who had been unconscious at the Temporary command center gradually woke up.

Using the borrowed phone, Lu Bai learned about the current situation at the containment center from them, then sped up again and headed towards the next direction where strange activity was suspected, while also dealing with any combatants along the way.

However, the sudden change disrupted his plans.

As he drove along under Act Under Cover of Darkness, he glanced up and noticed a crack that had appeared in the night sky above, trembling slightly.

"Is this also a kind of eeriness?"

Lu Bai looked up at the sky and muttered to himself.

Due to the distance, it is difficult to accurately determine the length of the gap, but one can vaguely sense that it is alive.

After hesitating for a moment, Lu Bai raised his hand and condensed a Spirit Bomb the size of a car, then threw it toward the crack.

To his surprise, the Spirit Bomb he threw got closer and closer to the crack, and just when it seemed about to hit it, it just wouldn't strike.

It is neither stagnant in place, nor deflected by some force.

The Spirit Bomb continued to fly towards the target under Lu Bai's control, and its speed did not decrease, but it just couldn't hit the target.

This phenomenon also gave Lu Bai a strange, inexplicable sense of déjà vu.

Being able to sense that something seems wrong, but being unable to pinpoint the cause, this confused perception is absolutely maddening.

Lu Bai frowned, slowly raised his right hand, and a blue-white light emanated from his palm.

He prepared to try throwing another Spirit Bomb.

However, he wasn't given that chance.

Because this crack in the sky suddenly split open.

No, to be precise, it didn't crack...

Instead, open your eyes!

It was a gigantic eye embedded in the sky.

This eye wasn't very attractive; it looked rather menacing, like the eye of a middle-aged man who hadn't slept for two days straight, with bloodshot veins clearly visible on the whites of his eyes.

In addition, the sky brightened the moment that eye opened.

In an instant, the world seemed to turn from midnight to dusk, and Lu Bai could even see the fiery clouds stretching across the horizon.

Not only that, even the areas he had previously blackened with [Ink Dye] were dispelled and allowed to see the light again after this eye opened.

It's worth mentioning that the blackness wasn't completely erased, but rather gradually faded.

Several fully armed soldiers stood on the roof of the makeshift command center, staring wide-eyed at the eye in the sky.

"What happened?"

"What is that?!"

"Quickly, go and inform the Captain."

In fact, with such a big commotion, the higher-ups already knew about it without needing to be notified.

The high-ranking officials, who had just woken up, leaned against the window, gazing at the scene in the sky, equally astonished.

In all their years of dealing with the supernatural, this was the first time they had encountered something so bizarre that even celestial phenomena could be reversed.

"What kind of sequence should we assign to this strange phenomenon?"

Perhaps numbed by the series of unexpected events that Second Company tonight, Captain Mao, despite his shock, still had the mind to consider such matters.

Unfortunately, no one answered him.

What should we do now?

Someone asked this question in an almost dreamlike tone.

Without prior arrangement, everyone present turned their attention to Minister Zhang.

In the past, no matter how difficult the situation, Minister Zhang was always able to come up with an effective solution.

Whether it's attacking, analyzing, or even abandoning a portion of the population.

At least the decision has been made, and they know what they need to do.

But now, Minister Zhang is also caught in a state of confusion.

He didn't understand the point of humanity's struggle.

Faced with such a bizarre phenomenon that can even control the alternation of day and night, hiding anywhere is useless.

Minister Zhang turned around, met everyone's gaze, and shook his head with some difficulty. "... Let's contact Master Lu first."

"Consider it daytime, sleep is nighttime."

Lu Bai didn't have high hopes, so he casually threw the half-condensed Spirit Bomb in his palm towards the eye in the sky. "The eye of the Candle Dragon?"

At this point, he smiled unconsciously.

"No wonder it felt somewhat familiar."

That is the same power as [Flash Time], the power to manipulate time.

However, compared to [Flash Time], which can only pause time for 0.5 seconds, the power of the Dragon of the Candle's Eye can be said to be time itself in a sense.

Lu Bai pondered for a while, but he really couldn't think of any way he could influence time.

"Since things have come to this, let's take out the suicide fighters first..."
