Chen Nian returned to the headquarters.

After a quick wash, he prepared to go grab a meal.

From clearing out Demonic Evils in Binhai District to annihilating the Eternal Life Cult stronghold, he had been working non-stop without a single grain of rice entering his stomach.

Chen Nian changed into a set of clean casual clothes and headed toward the headquarters' cafeteria.

The night was deep, but the headquarters was brightly lit, with staff members hurrying past from time to time.

However, the atmosphere today seemed a bit different.

As he walked down the corridor, everyone he encountered would subconsciously stop in their tracks the moment they saw his face clearly.

Their movements were uniform, and their faces bore an indescribably complex expression.

There was shock, awe, and even a hint of fanaticism.

"It's Special Commissioner Chen!"

"Oh my god, it's really him in person."

"He's back from Binhai District."

Whispers rose from behind him. People deliberately lowered their voices, but in this quiet corridor, they were still clearly audible.

"Did you see those videos? It's simply not something a human can do."

"I saw them. That sky-covering thunder... the entire port was purified. It's too terrifying, and too strong!"

"I heard that several Fourth-Tier powerhouses at the scene didn't even dare to move a muscle under that kind of heavenly might."

"It's more than just not daring to move; it's said that one Senior almost couldn't stay standing on the spot."

Chen Nian didn't pay much attention to these discussions. He maintained his pace and walked straight ahead.

However, along the way, he encountered many other Special Agents.

They all, without exception, bowed and greeted him.

"Greetings, Special Commissioner Chen!"

"Special Commissioner Chen, thank you for your hard work."

They held themselves with extreme humility, their words full of heartfelt respect.

This wasn't the attitude one showed toward a junior or a colleague, but the awe felt when facing a truly top-tier powerhouse.

Chen Nian could only nod slightly in response, his footsteps never pausing.

He just wanted to fill his stomach as quickly as possible right now.

However, the moment he stepped through the cafeteria doors, the originally bustling cafeteria instantly fell into a dead silence.

Hundreds of gazes converged on the doorway in unison.

Everyone who was eating, getting food, or talking froze mid-action.

A second later, starting with someone unknown, everyone—whether they were ordinary logistics personnel or powerful combat personnel—all stood up from their seats.

They just stood there, gazing at Chen Nian with eyes full of pilgrimage-like reverence.

Chen Nian: "..."

Isn't this display a bit too exaggerated?

Ignoring the eerie scene, he walked straight to the service window.

The chef behind the window was also full of admiration, asking respectfully, "Special Commissioner Chen, what would you like to eat?"

"Anything, as long as it's filling," Chen Nian replied calmly.

"Alright! Alright!"

With unprecedented enthusiasm and efficiency, the chef quickly piled a large tray full of food for him, with meat stacked like a small mountain.

Carrying the tray, Chen Nian found a random empty seat and sat down.

As soon as he sat, a large area around him immediately cleared out; no one dared to come close.

He didn't care, burying his head and finishing the food on the tray like a whirlwind sweeping through clouds.

His speed was extremely fast, but his movements were not crude.

Ten minutes later, the tray was empty.

Chen Nian put down his chopsticks and, under the still-awed gazes of the crowd, stood up and left the cafeteria.

Only after his figure completely disappeared from the doorway did the deathly silence in the cafeteria break, instantly exploding into a mountain-shaking wave of discussion.

"My god, I didn't even dare to breathe just now!"

"Is that the legendary Special Commissioner Chen? His presence is too strong!"

"I finally understand why he's called the 'god of war of donghai.' This pressure... I feel like he's even more terrifying than facing a Fourth-Tier Fiend!"

...Back in his dormitory, Chen Nian closed the door, shutting out all the noise from the outside world.

He lay directly on the bed and took out his phone.

The moment the screen lit up, countless push notifications and messages popped up instantly.

He swiped through the screen; the trending lists on major online platforms were almost entirely dominated by the same name.

#god of war of donghai Chen Nian#

#One Man is a Natural Disaster, Thunder Purifies Binhai Port#

#Eternal Life Cult Annihilated#

#Dragon Kingdom's New Guardian God#

Behind every hashtag was a deep red "Explosive" tag.

He casually clicked on the most popular hashtag.

Inside was an edited video. The quality was a bit blurry, clearly filmed with a phone by someone in the distance.

In the video, a massive Fiend was rampaging at the port, its body blotting out the sun and sky, radiating an aura of despair.

Just then, a golden light shot up into the sky.

It was him.

In the video, he was as tiny as an ant, yet the prestige erupting from his body made the entire world lose its color.

And then, came the scene destined to go down in history.

Endless thunder descended from the heavens, forming a vast sea of lightning that enveloped the massive Fiend along with thousands of smaller demons in the port.

The video abruptly ended at the moment the lightning was at its most brilliant.

But that world-destroying sight was already deeply branded into the heart of every viewer.

The comment section had long since exploded.

"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! Besides 'holy crap,' I can't say anything else!"

"I'm numb. This really happened? Our Dragon Kingdom actually has such an Immortal-like figure?"

"To the person above, I'm a Binhai local, I can testify that all of this is true!"

"From today on, don't call him 'bro,' call him 'God'! God Nian! My new faith!"

"Waaa, so handsome. What kind of Immortal-like big brother is this? I want to marry him!"

"Dragon Kingdom's God of War! Who agrees with this title, and who opposes?"

Due to his actions during this period, the people of the entire Dragon Kingdom had noticed him.

His popularity was currently skyrocketing, with all sorts of fanboys and fangirls appearing.

As long as it was about him, the heat was very high.

Moreover, even his name had spread.

Now, almost everyone in the Dragon Kingdom regarded him as an idol.

Chen Nian scrolled past these fanatical comments with a blank expression.

Then, he clicked on another notice officially released by the Spiritual Energy Bureau.

[Major Announcement: The evil cultivator organization Eternal Life Cult, which has plagued the Dragon Kingdom for many years, was completely annihilated today. Its leader and core members were all killed. Hereby, the Spiritual Energy Bureau pays its highest respects to the primary contributor of this operation, Special Agent Chen Nian!]

The level of shock in the comment section below this announcement was even greater than before.

"??? Is something wrong with my eyes? Or my brain? It's Master Chen Nian again?!"

"Wait a second, let me sort this out... It means that Master Chen Nian just finished clearing out all the Demonic Evils at Binhai Port today, and then, feeling like he hadn't had enough fun, he ran off and wiped out the Eternal Life Cult's nest in one go?"

"Oh my god! Is this something a human can do? Accomplishing two major feats worthy of going down in history in a single day?"

"The Eternal Life Cult! That malignant tumor that troubled our Dragon Kingdom for so many years! It's just... gone? Flattened by one person?"

"god of war of donghai? That title is too small! This is clearly the Dragon Kingdom's sea stabilizing divine needle!"

"Powerful, lonely, a one-man army! Even novel protagonists wouldn't dare be written like this!"

Looking at titles like "god of war of donghai" and "Dragon Kingdom's Guardian God" on the screen, Chen Nian shook his head helplessly.

What is all this nonsense.

These people are really getting better and better at making up nicknames.

However, he didn't have much of an issue with it; he was even somewhat satisfied in his heart.

Fame is something superficial, but when it reaches a certain level, it can bring tangible convenience.

He turned off his phone and casually tossed it aside.

Now was not the time to overthink these empty titles.

To him, the top priority was always only one thing.

And that was to continue becoming stronger.

With a thought, a light blue translucent panel that only he could see instantly expanded before his eyes.

However, when he saw that long string of staggering numbers in the points column, even Chen Nian's pupils couldn't help but contract slightly.

Holy cow!

Isn't this a bit too exaggerated!
