When Lu Ning and Yan Bing reappeared, they were already in Li Yang's room.

Li Yang was cultivating, and this time Lu Ning did not wait for him to finish.

"Li Yang".

Li Yang suddenly opened his eyes, and when he saw Lu Ning and Yan Bing, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes: "Uncle? Yan Bing? Why are you back? Where are the other gods?"

Lu Ning explained, "They are in the Ruins of Return. I'll tell you the details later."

"Oh." Seeing Lu Ning's serious expression, Li Yang didn't ask any more questions.

"Uncle, is there something you need?"

Lu Ning thought for a moment and said, "Call over all those who have reached the demigod level."

"Oh, okay."

Although Li Yang was somewhat puzzled, he nodded without saying anything more.

He left the room and returned shortly after: "I told Bai Yuan to bring them all over."

Lu Ning nodded slightly and sat on the sofa to wait.

Less than an hour later, the spatial passage opened, and more than thirty human demigods and Bai Yuan walked out together.

Among them were two acquaintances of Lu Ning: Xuan Xu and Qing Lan.

Xuanxu saw Lu Ning and Yan Bing and was somewhat confused and surprised: "Lu Ning, why are you back?"

Lu Ning said, "I have something to do."

His eyes flashed with a pale light, and the next moment, everyone appeared in a vast wilderness.

Li Yang and Yan Bing both realized that this was the place where they had become gods before.

The two exchanged a glance, somewhat puzzled.

Does Lu Ning intend to help them become gods?

But these demigods haven't even reached the high-level limit yet, so how could they possibly become gods?

Xuanxu, Baiyuan, and the other demigods were somewhat confused.

Just then, a pale light flashed in Lu Ning's eyes, and he calmly said, "Your spiritual power will be raised to the high-level limit."

As soon as Lu Ning finished speaking, all the demigods, regardless of whether they were originally low-level, mid-level, or high-level, seemed to have a strange spiritual force emerge from somewhere.

These spiritual energies were incredibly gentle, seemingly originating from the same source as them. As they flowed into their spiritual seas, their strength increased at an extremely rapid pace.

In just a few breaths, all the demigods' mental power reached the high-level limit.

Li Yang was completely numb.

Wait, what's going on here??

A single sentence could instantly propel dozens of demigods to the highest level?

Can a god do that? How come I didn't know that?

Am I a fake god?

Li Yang suddenly began to doubt himself.

He glanced at Lu Ning, then turned to look at Yan Bing, and found that Yan Bing was also somewhat shocked.

Bai Yuan and the others involved were even more shocked.

They have been working hard to absorb liquid spiritual energy in hopes of increasing their strength.

However, once you reach the demigod level, the improvement of mental strength is not so fast.

Because they now have the possibility of becoming gods, they have worked very hard in recent years, completely different from before.

Even so, most demigods still experience limited improvement.

As a result, Lu Ning's words enabled them to complete a cultivation process that they might not have been able to achieve even in thousands of years.

As the people directly involved, they were the most bewildered and shocked.

For a moment, all the demigods felt like they were dreaming.

Or is it due to fog pollution?

However, the next moment, Lu Ning's voice brought them back to their senses: "Next, you can try to become gods."

Upon hearing this, the demigods exchanged bewildered glances.

Xuanxu's lips twitched. Reason told him that this was like a joke, but the boiling spiritual power in his body told him that it seemed to be really possible.

After a moment of silence, Bai Yuan silently began her breakthrough.

Seeing that Bai Yuan had begun to break through, Qing Lan quickly followed suit.

As each demigod began attempting a breakthrough, gradually, all demigods began to break through.

Li Yang asked with some concern, "Uncle, isn't this too many people? If so many people break through at the same time, won't the resulting cracks affect the entire Earth?"

Lu Ning smiled and said, "It's alright, the bigger the crack, the better."

He conveniently absorbed all the evil gods behind him.

With his current strength, he could completely devour and absorb the evil god in the mist, even through the barrier.

Hearing Lu Ning say this, Li Yang, although he didn't know what Lu Ning planned to do, was no longer worried.

However, to Lu Ning's surprise, this time becoming a god was very easy and smooth, and the mist rift that Lu Ning had originally expected did not appear at all.

Lu Ning seemed to understand something, then realized that the evil gods behind the scenes might have gotten wind of it.

Although the fog was incredibly vast and almost endless, so much time had passed, and given that Lu Ning had previously acted as a pillar of support, the resulting mental fluctuations had likely already spread.

Those evil gods shrouded in mist probably wouldn't dare cause trouble on Earth now.

Lu Ning felt a little regretful, but the goal had already been achieved, so it didn't matter.

After all thirty-odd demigods became gods, they opened their eyes, felt the divine power within their bodies, and their expressions were a mixture of surprise and confusion.

"...This, this is it? I've become a god?" Qinglan's lips curled up wildly, her smile incredibly bright.

"I did it? I actually became a god! Awesome! No wonder you're Lu Ning!" Xuanxu's face flushed with excitement.

The other deities nearby were equally excited.

Lu Ning looked at Li Yang and said, "I'm going to the Mist next. It might cause quite a stir. The Earth's barrier might not be able to hold it off. I'll have to rely on you guys then."

Li Yang was taken aback, somewhat confused: "You're going alone?"
