In the world where the stone tablet originates, only victory can bring forth a true Demon King, one who ascends to divine will with a "non-divine body", and has slain the Gods as a crowning victor.
But such things cannot be forced, nor replicated, let alone that the real world lacks such conditions, so Gu Mo did not seek solutions in this direction...
His thod started from another line of thought.
Because under normal circumstances, Protheus’s stone tablet could only steal Divine Power, resembling more a temporary loan, although this loan was not granted with the original owner’s permission... Hence, once the stored Divine Power is released, it will naturally return to the original owner.
So, if in this empty, deathly silent space, with no other living being, he is all alone here—
The Divine Power that was stripped away, if it wanted to return, to whom would it go?
And if the Divine Power still doesn’t choose him under such conditions, then... what if he puts on the mask?
"Try it a few more tis, if this thod doesn’t work, switch to another one..." Gu Mo ran through his plan in his mind, feeling that the thought process should be fine; the next step was just to implent the idea systematically.
He even raised the barrier of the outer world’s Penglai Island, making the entire island slip out of sync with reality like two parallel lines overlapping. Besides making all possible preparations he could, to ensure the experintal field was undisturbed, he also conceived various different plans.
Of course, if none of them work...
Then there’s no help for it.
...

"The natural spiritual energy within the stone materials is indeed abundant..."
An ethereal voice echoed in the deep night.
In a mist-covered deep valley, it was a region resembling an open-air mining site, where Kikyo and Miss Naoki moved slowly, observing the exposed veins of minerals. They were entirely dark in color, but reflected a glass-like luster under the flashlight.
Miss Naoki glanced curiously at the strange item in the Witch’s hand, then retracted her gaze and nodded emphatically in agreent:
"Because here is very close to the island’s spiritual energy source, and ever since unknown tis, it’s been producing these spirit-infused stones. Many demons had also wanted to seize this place previously..."
But she had basically cleared them out.
This place is near the island’s heart, the volcanic crater area, so Miss Naoki’s activity range naturally included here, enabling her to apply effective strikes.
"But it has also beco desolate here..." She remarked, observing the signs of abandonnt around the quarry, shaking her head.
The more she saw the island’s decline and decay, the more she yearned for the tis past, just like all earth-bound spirits, she too was bound by the mories of the past.
Kikyo didn’t say anything; she rely bent down gracefully, picking up a stone that looked like obsidian. Real obsidian is mostly produced in volcanic activity regions, which aligns with this geographic environnt, but it also clearly distinguishes itself.
The stone contains quite pure spiritual energy, altering the stone’s inherent hardness and toughness, indeed making it premium material for crafting golems.
"Are preparations underway already? Have you so quickly grasped the key to that spell?"
A lively voice ca, Kikyo turned her eyes slightly frowning, discovering that soone had appeared by their side without them realizing, curiously examining a piece of obsidian...
When did he arrive, and how was even her Spiritual Sense deceived?
Her thoughts spun in a blink; however, the Witch didn’t mind too much about this point, she softly voiced: "Technique Principles have commonalities, and that secret manual describes it very clearly. The one who comnted is also an adept in this, with every detail being essential, making understanding not difficult..."
As she spoke, her gaze road over this person’s body, sensing so change in them, but upon closer inspection, nothing unusual could be determined, making her slightly suspect if it was her illusion earlier.
"Impressive, impressive, as expected of the Witch..."
Gu Mo nodded repeatedly, in terms of Skill Proficiency in golem making, he had only managed to progress about halfway, whereas the two witches opposite him already confidently mastered the crafting technique. The difference was indeed quite lantable, but this was unavoidable.
Just as even if he rapidly raised his foundational Spirit to 25 Points, unlocking the level of an Immortal, it didn’t an he would instantly gain comprehensive improvents in spells, skills, and other areas, truly becoming an Immortal... Foundation and accumulation, belonging to the base part, likewise need intensive replenishnt.
Kikyo and Naoki are true masters of mysticism. They are not only powerful in spiritual energy but also broad and proficient in knowledge and skills, enabling them to make connections and think critically.
"Then let help out as well. Let’s quickly make the golem and get the island running again."
Gu Mo examined the stone in his hand and volunteered to say.
Although he had only completed about half of the relevant proficiency, he now had other ways to make up for this shortfall, even confident to do it better...
