As the Sage Qinglan reflected on his recent experiences, a deep sorrow welled up within him.

He went to investigate the Moon God Cult and encountered a demigod. Fortunately, the demigod was unable to leave at the time, and since he was a wind-element awakener, he was fast enough to escape.

Even so, it was a near-death experience at the time.

Lu Ning has now led a group of saints to the Ruins of Return, which is a great opportunity.

As a result, he missed it again.

He felt like he had the worst luck in the world lately.

Now, all he can do is watch the shocked expressions on other people's faces because of these resources, and that's his only source of amusement.

Saint Qinglan sighed inwardly, then said calmly, "Don't make a fuss. These are resources that Lu Ning brought back."

Yun Rou was taken aback, then her eyes widened, revealing an excited expression: "Saint Qinglan, you mean Lu Ning? How is he now?"

Lu Ning was an Awakened in Base City 116 before. Yun Rou and Lu Ning had fought side by side several times, and their relationship could be described as a bond of life and death.

However, she hasn't heard any news about Lu Ning for almost two years.

She was initially worried that something might have happened to Lu Ning.

Hearing news of Lu Ning so suddenly, Yun Rou was naturally pleasantly surprised.

Saint Qinglan calmly said, "He is fine, you don't need to worry."

Upon hearing this, Yun Rou breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that you're doing well."

Then she felt a little depressed.

That guy has been gone for so long, why hasn't he come back?

However, when Yun Rou thought about the resources Lu Ning brought back, she was somewhat shocked: "Where did Lu Ning get so many things? I see a lot of disposable dangerous items and soul artifacts among them?"

Saint Qinglan chuckled and said, "These are not the most important things. The most important things are the liquid spiritual energy and the awakening crystal."

Yun Rou heard that the names of these two items seemed to be related to spiritual power and awakening, but she wasn't entirely sure.

She couldn't help but ask, "What are these two things for?"

Saint Qinglan calmly said, "Liquid spiritual energy is a spiritual energy resource that far surpasses that of soul crystals, and it can be used to quickly improve one's spiritual energy level."

"And that Awakening Crystal... can make ordinary people become Awakeners."

"What?!" Yun Rou and Li Yufeng both widened their eyes and exclaimed in surprise.

The appearance of awakened individuals is random.

If it can truly help humanity awaken, then the number of awakened humans will be far more than it is now!

But now, Lu Ning has actually produced something that can awaken people's powers?!

As seasoned members of the Mist Bureau, Yun Rou and Li Yufeng naturally understood what this thing represented.

This will be the beginning of a new era!

Yun Rou's breathing quickened, and then she quickly comforted herself and calmed her mind.

She hesitated for a moment before asking, "Saint Qinglan, are all these Awakening Crystals... meant for Base City 116? What about the other base cities?"

Saint Qinglan said, "Don't worry, all humans have it."

Hearing this, Yun Rou was extremely shocked, but also relieved.

What's shocking is that with hundreds of millions of people, and each person possessing one, one can imagine just how many Awakening Crystals there are.

Where did Lu Ning get so many Awakening Crystals from?

She breathed a sigh of relief, worried that Lu Ning might hand over all the Awakening Crystals to the humans in Base City 116 because of personal feelings.

That might be hard for people in other base cities to accept.

Saint Qinglan paid no attention to Yun Rou's thoughts.

He said calmly, "You are the director of the Mist Bureau. These resources are entrusted to you. You must distribute them safely to all of humanity."

Yun Rou took a deep breath, then said with an extremely serious expression, "Lu Ning must have had a hard time obtaining these things, and I will certainly not let him down!"

Upon hearing this, the Azure Mist Saint's expression turned somewhat strange.

Although he didn't know much about the situation in the Ruins of Return, he did know these things, and it seemed that he came quite easily.

However, the Sage Qinglan did not elaborate on this matter.

Since they are willing to put in more effort, that's naturally a good thing.

He calmly said, "I still have to deliver resources to other places. You can handle it yourselves. There will be a supervisory team to inspect the area afterward."

Yun Rou nodded: "I'll see you off."

After seeing Qinglan Saint off, Yun Rou and Li Yufeng returned to their office.

Yun Rou glanced at the spatial bracelet in her hand, took a deep breath, and said seriously, "Notify the action team leaders of the other branches to come to a meeting!"

…………

Half a day later.

Seventh Division.

Li Mu returned to the activity room with a somewhat numb expression.

She has already received the allocated resources from Yun Rou.

When Li Mu heard that Lu Ning had brought back these resources, his feelings were quite complicated.

Her gaze swept across the members in the activity room, and there were already several new faces that Lu Ning had never seen before.

Some familiar faces have disappeared.

During this period, the number of disease outbreaks increased, and naturally, some members of the action team were injured or killed.

Shi Shan, the Awakened One who can transform into a crow; Amisha Patel, the Awakened One whose ability is gray mist; and Karl Schneider, the Awakened One whose ability is density enhancement.

Lu Ning had met them once before, but they both died in a mission some time ago.

Fortunately, Wang Qiwen and Qiu Yuelin, both Awakened in the same year as Lu Ning, are both still doing well because of their rich experience.

Apart from the two of them, Ke Qing and Yu Ran are also doing well.
