Yan Bing's smile carried complex and unfathomable emotions that Lu Ning could not understand.

Yan Bing didn't say anything more and turned to leave the house.

After Yan Bing left, Lu Ning knocked on Ya En's door.

Soon, Yann's door opened.

When he saw Lu Ning, he paused for a moment, then smiled with delight: "Lu Ning, you're back? I was in seclusion before."

Lu Ning nodded: "Mm."

He took out a spatial ring and handed it to Ya'en, saying, "There is some liquid spiritual energy in here. You can distribute it to the other saints later."

After receiving it, Yann probed the spatial ring with his mental energy.

When he saw the dense, seemingly endless liquid spiritual energy, Yann's eyes widened.

His throat bobbed, and his voice rose several decibels: "This... how much liquid spiritual energy is in this?! It's too much, isn't it?"

Lu Ning calmly said, "There are 100 million bottles here. If you don't have enough, come to me later."

Yaen: "???"

One hundred million bottles?

If that's not enough, ask him again?

He could understand each word individually, but when put together, Yan felt he couldn't quite understand it.

He has been using the liquid mental energy that Lu Ning gave him for the past few days.

He naturally knew how strong the pure spiritual power contained in this liquid spiritual energy was.

It is far beyond what soul crystals can compare to.

Even the pure soul crystals they obtained from Mist No. 101 were far inferior to this liquid spiritual power.

And now Lu Ning is actually giving him 100 million bottles?

To be honest, even all the awakened beings in the entire human civilization would probably need decades or even centuries to consume so much liquid spiritual energy.

Thinking of this, Ya'en couldn't help but say, "...Isn't this too much? Should we share some with the other Awakened Ones? Let Yan Bing take it back to Earth?"

Lu Ning looked at Ya En with some confusion and said, "I've definitely prepared the liquid spiritual energy for the Awakened on Earth. I already had Yan Bing take it back. How can you possibly have enough for so many Awakened on Earth?"

Yann's lips twitched, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.

Then he gleaned something from Lu Ning's words: "...You mean, Lord Yan Bing has already left?"

"Yes, she just left and went back to Earth. You should all focus on refining your mental strength in seclusion from now on. If you encounter any problems with mental pollution, come find me."

Ya'en nodded emphatically: "Okay!"

He also knew that, given the current situation, only by reaching the demigod level could he truly stand alone and become an effective fighting force when the barrier cracked.

Even saints might not be able to protect themselves in the ensuing turmoil, let alone protect others.

"I'm going back into seclusion too."

Lu Ning turned around and went back to her room.

He has just broken through to the Saint level, and there is still a long way to go before he becomes a demigod.

Once he breaks through to demigodhood and condenses true divinity, he has a premonition that his strength will increase significantly.

Watching Lu Ning return to his room, Ya En took a deep breath, his heart filled with unwavering resolve.

Lu Ning has prepared such good conditions for them; if they still cannot achieve anything, then they are not worthy of being called saints.

Yann knocked on the door of Osiris and Aishalin's room.

“Osiris, Aishalin, this is the liquid spiritual energy that Lu Ning gave us. Let’s go find the other people and distribute this liquid spiritual energy among them.”

"Holy crap?! Holy crap??? That's way too many!"

"...So much liquid spiritual energy, and only about a hundred of us are using it? Isn't that too extravagant?"

"Don't worry, Lu Ning knows what he's doing. Lord Yan Bing has already brought more liquid spiritual energy back to Earth."

"...Lu Ning is fucking awesome!"

"……All right."

…………

Earth.

Deep within the fog of Base 3, in the ruins of Base 3.

Yan Bing stepped out of the crack.

She glanced around, her gaze sweeping deep into the ocean's depths.

After watching for a few seconds, Yan Bing slowly withdrew her gaze. The space in front of her shattered, and she stepped inside.

Not long after Yan Bing left, a huge black shadow seemed to be slowly writhing in the dark abyss of the rotting ocean, causing towering waves to rise across the entire sea surface.

However, the giant wave only lasted for a short time and quickly subsided.

…………

Base City No. 1.

Yan Bing returned to the headquarters of the Mist Bureau, and the powerful fluctuations of his mental energy immediately alerted Xuan Xu, who was stationed at the headquarters.

Xuanxu emerged from a mirror on the wall of the headquarters lobby.

Many of the members of the Mist Bureau who were around were stunned when they saw Xuanxu.

Only Saint-level and high-level Awakened Ones widened their eyes and hurriedly bowed.

"Greetings, Lord Xuanxu!"

Xuanxu, with a youthful face, waved his hand with a bright smile: "No need for formalities, you all go about your business, I'm going to pick someone up."

Everyone nodded quickly.

However, all the Awakened Ones passing by still kept glancing in the direction of Xuanxu from time to time.

Many people are confused.

Who exactly is this person that the Guardian must personally greet?

Other Guardians?

Probably not. Guardians can just go directly to headquarters.

However, some insiders, who knew the inside story, had shifty eyes.

A top-tier powerhouse in human history, who should have been swallowed by the mist, appeared within the Mist Bureau.

Not long after this top expert appeared, the Mist Bureau made a big move, and many Saints were transferred from their original positions and asked to gather at the Mist Bureau headquarters.

The saints of the Mist Bureau disappeared more than a year ago, and no one knows where they went.

Xuanxu arrived at the entrance of the headquarters and saw Yan Bing.

When Xuanxu last saw Yan Bing, Yan Bing was wearing a tattered white dress, her hair was disheveled, her face was pale, and she looked very slovenly.

But this time, Xuanxu noticed that Yan Bing's complexion was much better than last time.

Even the clothes she was wearing were no longer the dirty and tattered white dress she had worn before; she had changed into a clean dress.

Even her hair seemed to have been neatly combed.

This surprised Xuanxu a little. He smiled and said, "Sister Yanbing, you seem different from last time. You look so beautiful."

Yan Bing glanced calmly at Xuanxu, then said, "I didn't have the mind to tidy up before, but it's much better now."

Xuanxu asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why weren't you in the mood before?"

Yan Bing calmly said, "Humanity is about to be destroyed, how can we have any thoughts about that?"

Xuanxu: "??"

He was speechless for a moment.

However, Xuanxu soon seemed to understand the unspoken meaning in Yan Bing's words.

His eyes, which seemed to reflect light like mirrors, gleamed as he spoke, "Is it different now?"

Yan Bing's eyes flickered, and he calmly nodded: "Humanity has new hope."

Upon hearing this, Xuanxu immediately revealed a bright and delighted smile.

"It seems you've had a very good haul this time!"

Yan Bing nodded: "That's good. Let's go. Notify the others that I brought back what Lu Ning prepared for humanity."
