Opposite, Silvien, who had been looking down at her phone, heard the faint sound and raised her head in wonder.

Seeing this scene, her delicate eyebrows raised in surprise, and then she displayed a caught you expression.

She picked up her phone and quickly snapped a picture of the scene.

Without waiting for a reaction from the two on this side, she smiled, stood up, and lightly knelt on the carpet on Wu Heng's other side, reaching out her hands to begin massaging his arms and shoulders with just the right amount of pressure.

…

The next day at noon, the plane landed smoothly at Mexico Base's airport.

Wu Heng, accompanied by the Wood Elf Sisters and twenty silent Skeleton Guards, returned to the temporary camp at the foot of the volcano.

During the few days of absence, significant changes had occurred here.

The originally simple camp had been greatly expanded, looking more like a hidden forest vacation villa.

In the living room, Mini put down what was in her hands and joyfully came up to greet them, "Master! Sister Ailuria, Sister Silvien, you're back!"

Wu Heng nodded in response.

The Wood Elf Sisters also smiled and greeted Mini.

Though Mini's level was not high, and her status was just a steward of the Island Lord's Mansion, having been one of the earliest to follow Wu Heng, she was deeply trusted and beloved, with a position of no ordinary significance.

"Hmm, we're back. Where are Lilith and her group?" Wu Heng asked, looking around.

"Lilith Leader and Deacon Hela Gui took them to the vicinity of the volcano crater to cultivate. Should I call them back now?" Mini inquired.

"No need, we can talk when they return tonight." Wu Heng waved his hand, then instructed, "Prepare an appropriate room for Ailuria and her sisters."

"Okay, Master!" Mini agreed with a smile and invited the Wood Elf Sisters to choose a room.

The sisters, originating from the Forest Elves, felt an intimate connection with the environment here, and smiles adorned their faces.

Wu Heng ate some simple food to replenish his strength, then returned to his secluded room to prepare for the third stage cultivation of the "Creation Scripture."

…

In the still room, Wu Heng first moved his mind and glanced at his own level.

[Level: 15.]

The speed of the experience bar increase has noticeably accelerated, it seems the Skeleton Army scattered all over has massively engaged with the zombies.

Once reaching Level 18, he could verify whether the reputation he's accumulated before could still be used.

Even if it couldn't be used.

With his position as the human leader and Pope of the Spirit Awakening Sect, it probably wouldn't be a problem.

Cross-legged, excluding distractions, he began operating the cultivation technique according to the third stage method of "Spirit Rhinoceros Enlightenment."

He gently dispersed his divine thought, attempting to merge into the surrounding natural environment, feeling the breath of the trees and the pulse of the earth, listening to the faint near-nonexistent whispers of spirituality.

Soft energy from around him began to gather and absorb towards him.

The mental pressure left by sealing that luminous object seemed to be washed away by cool spring water, gradually dissipating and settling.

After operating the cultivation technique twice, he had basically mastered the third stage's energy operation skills and began entering a deeper self-cultivation state.

Attracting the surrounding energy, it continuously gathered towards him.

…

Near dusk, the living room outside became lively.

Wu Heng opened his eyes and pushed the door to leave the still room.

He found Lilith, Xi Hela Gui, Shi Yali, and others were already back, sitting in the living room chatting.

Seeing him come out, several pairs of eyes suddenly brightened.

Xi Hela Gui asked concernedly, "Was everything smooth? Didn't encounter any trouble, did you?"

"Everything went smoothly." Wu Heng replied with a smile and sat down among them, "In this world, I'm at least the 'human leader,' what danger could there be?"

Lilith glanced at him with her beautiful eyes, carrying a hint of inquiry, "So, did you finally see the true face of that thing? What exactly is it?"

Wu Heng pondered for a moment, then detailed what he saw, along with his own guesses.

When they heard the thing might be related to 'Divine Spirits,' all the women couldn't help but widen their eyes, faces filled with shock.

Before this, 'God' was more of an existence in legend to them.

But since following Wu Heng, information about gods had appeared one after another, even linking this world's apocalyptic disaster with gods.

"Left by a Divine Spirit… thing?" Lilith asked further, with a tone of seriousness.

Wu Heng shook his head, "Currently it's still uncertain, but that feeling was very similar to when I faced the Divine Spirits of The Holy Court last time, it was the same level of powerful pressure."

"Can… you take it out for us to see?" Lilith couldn't suppress her curiosity.

Wu Heng raised his eyebrows, "The risk is too high! Once it gets out of control, in a second eruption, no one would escape."

"So what do you plan to do with it? Bury it deep in another place?" Lilith continued her questioning.

Xi Hela Gui, Shi Yali, and others just listened quietly, without interrupting.

Wu Heng leaned back against the chair, thought for a while, "Just keep it! If someday… we both become gods too, maybe we'll be able to research and understand it."

Everyone was surprised by his sudden 'bold declaration,' stunned.

Lilith glared at him with annoyance, "Your tone… is becoming more and more presumptuous."

Wu Heng laughed heartily, timely changing the topic, "What's for dinner tonight? I'm a bit hungry."

"Philippa's been clamoring for barbecue, she's already preparing in the backyard." Xi Hela Gui said with a smile.

"Alright, barbecue is good."

After dinner, the few women sat in the courtyard, enjoying a rare moment of leisure, chatting about various interesting things on Gold and Silver Island in the Otherworld.

In their previously busy days, they seldom gathered like this, sharing common memories.

Wu Heng did not join in the chat, instead returning to the still room to continue cultivating "Creation Scripture" diligently.

…

Time passed, three more days went by.

Wu Heng, in the meditation posture, suddenly shook all over, a vast and boundless energy burst forth from within, permeating through his body, finally surging straight into the sea of consciousness!

[Unlocked Trait: Spirit Awakening.]

The system prompt sounded like a mighty bell ringing in his mind.

The third stage of the "Creation Scripture" was accomplished!

He slowly opened his eyes, as if countless tiny divine lights were extinguishing and reviving within them, making his whole temperament deeper and more restrained.

With a movement of thought, he opened the panel again.
