When the mental crystal was compressed to the size of a fist, the pale mental energy inside was suddenly ignited.
A raging pale fire ignited within the spiritual crystal, and a peculiar power was born from Lu Ning's spiritual crystal. Lu Ning felt that his connection with the Tower of Return to Nothingness had become even stronger.
In addition to becoming more closely connected with the Tower of Ruins, Lu Ning's thoughts soared, and his spiritual power traversed countless times and spaces.
He saw a distorted shadow floating in the depths of the thick white mist.
It emanates the most primal, chaotic fluctuations, which rise and fall rhythmically, as if it were breathing.
With each rise and fall of this distorted shadow, invisible waves emanated from it, spreading in all directions.
The moment Lu Ning saw the distorted shadow, his mental energy became chaotic.
For a moment, he even forgot who he was, what kind of being he was, where he was, and what he was doing.
His self-awareness collapsed.
This process lasted for an unknown period of time.
Gradually, Lu Ning's chaotic mental energy became orderly again.
When Lu Ning regained consciousness, he felt dizzy and his whole body ached.
He glanced at his mental sea and found that the pale fire within the mental crystal was much dimmer than before.
He was somewhat bewildered; what exactly was that just now?
Lu Ning briefly recalled the distorted phantom and felt as if his mind was about to fall into chaos again.
Lu Ning quickly stopped thinking about it.
That thing was clearly extremely terrifying.
Even if he has now ignited the divine fire and possessed divinity, he cannot withstand the contamination even in mere imagination.
Lu Ning took a deep breath and then smiled.
His spiritual power had been completely crystallized, and a divine fire had been ignited within it, giving birth to divinity.
This means that Lu Ning's strength has now reached the demigod level.
At this moment, the pale light no longer enveloped Lu Ning, and Lu Ning reappeared inside the Tower of Return to Nothingness.
Looking at the familiar environment of the Tower of Return to Nothingness, Lu Ning felt that his connection with the Tower of Return to Nothingness had become much deeper than that of a Saint.
He even felt that he could put away the Tower of Ruins if he wanted to.
This feeling was as if the Tower of Ruins was his divine artifact, no different from the Crimson Sword or the Bone Pocket Watch.
This surprised Lu Ning.
It's unclear whether it's because he possesses a pale spiritual energy or because the Tower of Return to Nothingness originally belonged to him.
Lu Ning thought for a moment and did not immediately put away the Tower of Return to Nothingness.
He also wanted to see how much he could actually leverage the power of the Tower of Ruins.
Lu Ning attempted to materialize a fate-related artifact.
With just over a hundred pale crystals, a compass appeared before Lu Ning.
The compass exudes a strong spiritual pollution and divine power.
It's definitely a magical artifact.
However, the consumption was less than Lu Ning had imagined.
It's only a little over a hundred!
It's reduced by ten thousand times compared to when he was at the Saint level!
Even Lu Ning was somewhat shocked.
Since the consumption of materialized artifacts has been reduced by ten thousand times, what about the others?
After thinking for a moment, Lu Ning conjured up some other items.
Such as disposable hazardous materials, liquid spiritual energy, etc.
To Lu Ning's surprise, even a one-time-use god-level dangerous item could be materialized without consuming the Pale Crystal.
Since this is a general reduction in consumption, then presumably the expansion of the Ruins will be the same.
Lu Ning thought about it and decided not to expand the Ruins of Return at the moment.
The area of the Ruins of Return is already quite large, which is sufficient for all the exiles for the time being.
Expanding the Ruins of Return will take time, and Lu Ning is currently short of time.
What he needs to do most is to increase his strength as much as possible before the large-scale attack by the mist, preferably to the level of a god.
Having done all this, Lu Ning left the Tower of Return to Nothingness.
As soon as he stepped out of the Tower of Ruins, he saw the Void Zerg Queen, the Shadowcrown Clan Chief, and other high-ranking members of powerful exiled races standing at the entrance.
Lu Ning was silent for a moment, then realized that the body of the exiled demigod must have been returned.
The high-ranking members of these powerful exile races have already received the relevant information.
They knew Lu Ning had entered the Tower of Return to Nothingness, so they were waiting outside.
Upon seeing Lu Ning emerge, a group of top demigods stepped forward.
The Void Queen paused for a moment, then slowly said, "Lord Lu Ning, how bravely have the warriors of our exiled race performed?"
Lu Ning nodded slightly: "They were very brave. Thanks to them, otherwise the human lands would have been occupied by the evil gods."
The Shadow Crown Clan Chieftain appeared somewhat somber, and then said, "I heard that Lord Lu Ning promised to help the fallen warriors return to their clan's territory?"
The other exile leaders also looked at Lu Ning with anticipation.
Lu Ning nodded slightly: "Yes, I promised them."
He then calmly said, "I have now reached the demigod level, and it shouldn't take long."
Upon hearing this, the exile leaders were taken aback, then stared wide-eyed at Lu Ning in astonishment.
"You've already reached the demigod level?? How could you do it so quickly?"
The Shadow Crown Clan Chief spoke in shock.
Lu Ning had just broken through to the High-Level Saint before leaving the Ruins of Return.
It's only been a few days, and Lu Ning has already become a demigod?
Many exiled groups have had their Saints stuck at the point of breaking through to demigod status for hundreds or even thousands of years.
Lu Ning's breakthrough speed is truly astonishing.
Lu Ning smiled and said, "I can absorb mental pollution to improve myself. When I was fighting that evil god, I absorbed a lot of his mental pollution."
Many of the exiled powerful individuals were filled with questions.
No, is that right?
What kind of improvement method is this?
Enhancement through absorbing evil gods?
Is there such a way?
Many of the powerful exiles fell silent.
Lu Ning didn't discuss this topic further.
After all, no one else can be like him.
This may be related to his previous experience in the mist, or it may be related to the pale spiritual power within him.
Even though Lu Ning has now reached the demigod level, he still doesn't quite understand the specific reasons.
Lu Ning calmly said, "Now that I've reached the demigod level, I should be able to absorb the mental pollution within demigods, separating your abilities from the mental pollution. Would you like to give it a try?"
Upon hearing this, all the exiled demigods gasped for breath.
Subsequently, their mental fluctuations became noticeably more intense.
After a moment of silence among the many exiled demigods, the Shadowcrown Clan chief was the first to speak.
His voice trembled with excitement: "Then what's the price? Your Excellency Lu Ning, what do you need us to do? We will do everything in our power to do it!"
