After Lu Ning returned to Earth with many demigods, he began a period of seclusion, using the Tower of Ruins to temper his spiritual power.
This time, in addition to absorbing the spiritual pollution sources of two planetary evil gods, Lu Ning also absorbed the spiritual pollution source of an entire fallen planet, resulting in the largest amount of spiritual pollution sources in his mind ever.
With so many sources of mental pollution, the process of tempering oneself is relatively slow.
Lu Ning spent four days refining most of the source of mental pollution, and felt that his mental strength had reached its peak.
This is the pinnacle of demigod level; he has reached a bottleneck.
Previously, Lu Ning's breakthroughs were always easy.
Those bottlenecks were no different from a piece of paper to Lu Ning; he would soon tear them apart.
But this time, Lu Ning found it to be completely different.
After reaching the bottleneck, Lu Ning clearly felt a force preventing him from breaking through it.
Lu Ning didn't know where this power came from, but it was very strong.
Lu Ning absorbed all the remaining sources of mental pollution, but still couldn't break through this bottleneck.
It even felt like they hadn't been able to shake this bottleneck much.
This gave Lu Ning a headache.
Despite so much mental pollution, it still can't break through the bottleneck.
How much more pollution does he need to absorb?
The main issue is that there are no longer any evil god-level planets in the solar system for him to absorb sources of spiritual pollution.
If he wants to continue absorbing sources of mental pollution, he will probably have to enter the fog or go beyond the solar system.
or……
Lu Ning suddenly thought of something.
There is another way.
When a high-level demigod breaks through to the god level, it will inevitably bring about a large amount of mental pollution.
If he can absorb this spiritual pollution, then there is hope for a breakthrough.
Previously, Lu Ning was not confident that he could absorb the mental pollution from a high-level demigod's breakthrough.
But now, Lu Ning clearly feels that he can absorb it.
He has now reached the limit of demigod level, and his connection with the Tower of Ruins has also deepened.
By leveraging the Tower of Return to Nothingness, he can absorb the mental pollution brought about by the breakthrough of a high-level demigod.
Thinking of this, a pale light flashed in Lu Ning's eyes, and the next moment, he disappeared from the spot.
When Lu Ning reappeared, he was already in Xuanxu's room.
Xuanxu was watching cartoons and eating snacks as usual.
He was startled when he saw Lu Ning suddenly appear and instinctively bent down to put the snacks away.
However, under Lu Ning's gaze, he awkwardly withdrew his hand.
He chuckled dryly, "Haha... Lu Ning, what brings you here? Why didn't you even say hello?"
He secretly glanced at the snacks he had been hoarding for a long time, his heart bleeding. There were several of them that he usually couldn't bear to eat himself.
The main problem is that now that the base city has been destroyed, many snacks are no longer produced, and every little bit we eat reduces the supply.
Lu Ning asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why are you always watching TV every time I come in? Don't you need to temper your mental energy?"
Xuanxu said speechlessly, "...I want to too, but after the mental energy is tempered, the pressure is getting bigger and bigger, and I definitely need to rest..."
Seeing Lu Ning's incomprehensible expression, Xuan Xu's lips twitched: "...Forget it, you wouldn't understand even if I told you. Someone like you who can't be corrupted could never understand our suffering."
Lu Ning said calmly, "It is somewhat incomprehensible."
Xuanxu: "..."
That guy's words are infuriating!
Xuanxu said helplessly, "So, Lu Ning, you've finished your seclusion?"
"Um."
"Having absorbed so much mental pollution, are you nearing your limit? Are you about to become a god?" Xuanxu looked at Lu Ning with a mixture of curiosity and excitement.
Xuanxu had witnessed Lu Ning's combat prowess.
He hasn't become a god yet, but using a divine artifact is enough to pose such a huge threat to the planetary evil god. Once Lu Ning becomes a god, he should be able to kill a relatively weak evil god by himself, right?
Lu Ning sat down on the sofa and silently took a spicy snack while watching Xuan Xu's somewhat desperate gaze.
"I have reached the limit of a high-level demigod, but it will be a bit troublesome to become a god. The bottleneck is very strong."
"Huh? There's a bottleneck to becoming a god from a high-level demigod?" Xuanxu was taken aback, somewhat astonished. "Why did both Lao Li and Lao Luo say that after reaching the level of a high-level demigod, they would have an instinctive urge to become gods? If they didn't feel that they would be directly corrupted after becoming gods, they probably would have already become gods. Right now, they are both suppressing this instinctive urge."
Lu Ning was taken aback when he heard this.
He had never heard of this before.
Lu Ning pondered, "Don't other high-level demigods have bottlenecks?"
Xuanxu shook his head: "Anyway, I heard from Lao Li and Lao Luo that there is no bottleneck. I don't know about the other demigods, you can ask them."
Lu Ning nodded, then said, "That's what I think too."
"Old Li is in the room next door, shall we go together?" Xuanxu saw that Lu Ning had taken another box of particularly delicious cookies and couldn't sit still any longer, so he stood up and suggested.
We have to take Lu Ning away, otherwise all his snacks will be eaten up.
Lu Ning stood up: "Let's go."
The two went outside, and Xuanxu knocked on the door of the room next door: "Old Li, your uncle is looking for you!"
Li Yang's room door opened quickly, and Li Yang stood inside, somewhat puzzled: "Uncle, what's wrong? Come in and tell me."
Lu Ning and Xuan Xu entered Li Yang's room.
Li Yang asked them to sit on the sofa, and he looked at Lu Ning with some confusion.
If it were any other demigod, with his abilities, he could more or less sense the purpose of the other party coming to find him.
However, Li Yang had no idea why Lu Ning had come.
Even if he hoped to perceive it indirectly through the Mysterious Ruins, he could not succeed.
Therefore, he could only wait for Lu Ning to speak up.
Lu Ning calmly said, "It's like this, I've already reached the limit of a high-level demigod, but there's a very strong force suppressing me, and the bottleneck is very heavy. I heard from Xuanxu that you don't have a bottleneck?"
Li Yang frowned and immediately said, "I don't have it. On the contrary, I feel a strong temptation to break through as soon as possible and reach the level of an evil god. This temptation has been there ever since I reached the level of a high-level demigod. Xingchen and Yanbing also have this feeling."
Li Yang paused, then said, "Uncle, could it be that you're different from us? After all, your abilities are completely different from those of normal Awakened Ones. Could it be that there's something in the mist that doesn't want you to become an evil god?"
Lu Ning said thoughtfully, "Perhaps."
His idealistic abilities told him that Li Yang's guess was correct.
Lu Ning thought of the chaotic and distorted phantom he had seen before, and the corpses of evil gods scattered all over the ground.
Perhaps it's related to these memories?
Lu Ning felt that once he became a god, he would be able to find out where his non-existent memories came from.
Lu Ning pulled himself out of his thoughts, looked at Li Yang, and asked, "Li Yang, do you want to become a god?"
