The exact time when the Ruins of Return appeared is unknown, as is how it appeared.
The being who created the Ruins of Return must be a powerful being beyond their comprehension.
Now Lu Ning is actually saying that the Ruins of Return can be expanded?
Even though they already knew that Lu Ning's abilities were extremely powerful, they still found it hard to believe.
After all, this is too outrageous.
Even an evil god probably wouldn't dare say that, right?
Yan Bing quickly realized what was happening, and her eyes gleamed as she looked at Lu Ning.
She pursed her lips slightly and asked slowly, "What do you plan to do?"
Lu Ning laughed and said, "Didn't you say that the Pale Crystal can expand the living space of a race? The exile city-states have reached their current size because these exiles spread out little by little, right?"
Yan Bing quickly realized what she meant. Her eyes widened slightly, revealing a look of astonishment: "You mean... to expand the Ruins of Return, just like expanding the city-state?"
"Yes, that's my idea."
“Hiss… But Lu Ning, according to your logic, the amount of Pale Crystals that would be consumed must be astronomical, right?” Xuan Xu also came to his senses and spoke up.
Lu Ning smiled and said, "I can leverage the power of the Tower of Return to Nothingness itself to materialize the same thing, and I consume more than a thousand times less Pale Crystal than others. Moreover, I feel that once I advance to the Saint level, the consumption will be even less."
Everyone's eyes flickered, and the way they looked at Lu Ning changed.
Lu Ning's immortality was already ridiculous enough.
Later, they discovered that Lu Ning could also obtain the divine power of the evil god by absorbing sources of spiritual pollution.
Now, Lu Ning is not only this awesome on Earth, but he's even this awesome in the Land of Return to Nothingness.
Luo Xingchen, who had been silent until now, couldn't hold back any longer. His voice was a little hoarse as he said, "If we follow your logic, we need to have sufficient strength ourselves. Your ability is too strong. If the exiles in the Ruins of Return knew about it, they might not be willing to cooperate with us directly."
Harek nodded, then frowned and said, "That's true. You can't be too careful. If they use their power to lock you in the Ruins of Return and make you work for them, then things won't be good."
Rodrigo and the others nodded in agreement.
Lu Ning calmly said, "That is indeed the case. Therefore, I want to first advance to the Saint level and then manifest the divine artifact. In this way, we will have the qualifications to have an equal dialogue with the top civilizations in those exiled city-states. Only then can we discuss cooperation."
The group exchanged glances.
Everyone's eyes shone with anticipation.
If, as Lu Ning said, he can expand the area of the Ruins of Return and allow more mist monsters to enter, then both exiles and humans will be able to obtain more Pale Crystals.
When resources are plentiful enough, even if human demigods enter the Ruins of Return, the exiled civilization probably won't resist too much.
Furthermore, as someone capable of expanding the Ruins of Return, Lu Ning could certainly engage in strategic cooperation with the numerous civilizations within the Ruins of Return.
This is crucial for humanity.
At that time, the collection of pale crystals will be much faster.
With the Pale Crystal, resources for refining spiritual power, soul artifacts, one-time dangerous items, and even divinity are no problem!
In fact, humanity might even have a chance to cooperate with the exiled civilization to fight against the Mist God!
How could Bai Yuan and the others not be excited?
Rodrigo took a deep breath and looked at Lu Ning, saying, "Lu Ning! Then you should focus on tempering your spiritual power during this time and reach the Saint level as soon as possible!"
Yan Bing nodded slowly: "I will acquire more Pale Crystals during this time. Once you break through to the Saint level, with enough Pale Crystals, you may be able to directly manifest a divine artifact."
Lu Ning nodded calmly: "Yes, I have already materialized quite a few resources that can temper spiritual power... By the way, do you want to use them? There are quite a few here."
Upon hearing this, Bai Yuan and the others were taken aback.
They exchanged a glance, then Rodrigo slowly shook his head and said, "Let's leave it at that. There are no outsiders here, so we'll just be frank. Given our current mental state, if our mental strength increases too quickly, it could actually cause illness."
Luo Xingchen said in a hoarse voice, "I only recently reached the advanced demigod level, and you've seen the current situation."
Lu Ning paused for a moment, then slowly nodded.
Just as he thought, once you reach the level of a demigod, you are already very different from a normal human.
It is itself a source of pollution.
If their mental strength increases too quickly, their pollution will become more and more serious. If it becomes uncontrollable, the only way out will be disease.
Even Lu Ning couldn't help them absorb the mental pollution.
After all, this kind of spiritual pollution is essentially emanating from themselves.
Perhaps, once he becomes stronger and reaches the Saint level, he could try to see if he can help them control mental pollution?
As for now, Lu Ning is helpless.
Afterwards, Xuanxu sent someone to notify the saints who were currently free.
All the saints who could spare the time were to follow Yan Bing to the Land of Return to Nothingness to obtain the Pale Crystal.
Meanwhile, the demigods, who were originally busy with other things, had to devote some of their energy to the increasingly active cults and the ever-present possibility of cracks in the barrier.
Furthermore, Bai Yuan needs to find other guardians and let them know about the current situation.
“Lu Ning, with your current strength, you could actually become a guardian. After Old Li comes out of seclusion, we’ll take you to meet him, and then we’ll inform the entire clan to make you a guardian,” Ren Yun said with a grin.
No one else objected.
After all, although Lu Ning had not demonstrated his offensive capabilities in the previous battles, he had already achieved demigod-level power simply by constantly using that bone pocket watch.
The power of time is so strong that it can be used in conjunction with any demigod.
Not to mention, according to Bai Yuan, Lu Ning himself also possesses other extremely dangerous soul weapons, and his combat power has also reached the demigod level.
Lu Ning nodded: "Okay."
Although Lu Ning had no intention of becoming a guardian, he was still very curious about Li Yang.
Lu Ning was naturally looking forward to meeting Li Yang.
"However, after thinking about it, I plan to go to the Ruins of Return with Yan Bing."
Everyone was taken aback: "Why?"
Lu Ning had not originally intended to go to the Land of Return to Nothingness, but rather planned to temper his spiritual power on Earth.
Lu Ning said, "During this battle, I obtained another source of spiritual pollution from an evil god. If I enter the Tower of Ruins, I might be able to quickly absorb this source of spiritual pollution."
To be honest, it would be too inefficient to let him absorb mental pollution on his own.
This will slow down the speed at which his strength improves.
It would be better to go to the Land of Return to the Ruins again and use the Tower of Return to the Ruins to absorb the source of mental pollution.
Hearing this, Yan Bing nodded slightly: "Okay, let's go together then."
Seeing that Lu Ning had made his decision, the others said no more.
"Then you may depart once all the saints have arrived."
"Um."
