After everyone had dispersed, Roy returned to the Alchemy Room and contacted his main body, which was entrusted to the Star Sea Void, sensing its condition.
At this time, after absorbing the free mana in the Star Sea, his Spiritual Power had naturally grown to nearly 19,200 degrees over the twenty-eight years since his promotion.
The blessing brought by the Sage's Proverbs had also reached an unprecedented height of 9,800 points.
These figures had started at 20,000 degrees and 5,260 points when he had just become an Archmage.
His natural growth over the years had amounted to barely more than 200 and 30 points. On the other hand, he had successively refined the Artificial Demon God, God of Jackalmen, King of Shadow Demons, and Goddess of Destiny...
Each had brought an increase of one or two thousand points, visibly raising his strength by quite a bit.
Roy consequently sensed the existence of a bottleneck.
My main body's Spiritual Power seems to be getting harder and harder to increase...
At such a massive scale, merely maintaining my existence is already difficult. My natural growth rate is still only between five and ten degrees, which is actually slower than it was when I was at Level 3.
Do I really have to spend several thousand years naturally raising my Mental Strength above 50,000 degrees before I can seek further improvement?
For ordinary Archmages and demigod-level powerhouses, this seemed to be perfectly normal.

But...
Roy was unwilling to stop moving forward and be unable to continue!
If he merely endured like this, he might indeed improve after three to five thousand years.
But what about afterward? If he wanted to reach hundreds of thousands of degrees, would he have to spend
