"Um, this jade seems to have quite a high affinity with the Faith Runes."

No sooner had Dorothy begun to draw the Faith Runes than she suddenly noticed something odd.

According to Ruthfiel's teachings, the best materials for making a deity's statue were those capable of necromancy, as the more spiritual the material, the easier it was to draw Faith Runes and the better the collection effect for faith would be.

Therefore, statues of Angels or Angel Witches were generally made of Spiritual Wood, then gilded or silver-plated on the outside, and finally inlaid with various gems as decorations, which made them look extravagantly beautiful, and such costly objects naturally appeared solemn and sacred.

There was no helping it, after all, if the spirituality of a single material wasn't enough, they just had to pile on more materials.

And poor Dorothy naturally couldn't afford those luxurious spiritual materials. She had originally planned to make the most ordinary stone statue, and as for the spirituality of the statue, she prepared to solve this with another method.

That was the Living Sacrifice Ritual.

Offering a living creature as a sacrifice to consecrate and infuse the statue with spirituality, this was the most common method used by the evil cults who worshiped the Evil God, as these underground sects were generally quite poor and couldn't afford high-quality spiritual materials. But a living sacrifice was the most cost-effective method since, as long as one was ruthless enough, materials for sacrifice were plentiful in the streets. Generally speaking, pure and beautiful girls were the best offerings for these vile rituals.

Of course, Dorothy was not yet so deranged as to go and kill a few beautiful girls for sacrifice; that would be an atrocious waste. She planned to use herself as the offering.

Or more accurately, she was going to sacrifice the still unborn fifth train of thought.

Yes, if she built Little Five into the statue, then any problems with lacking spirituality would be solved, and Little Five was originally intended to govern the incarnation of a Deity, which made this quite an efficient use of resources.

However, plans cannot keep up with changes because the appearance of these so-called Moon Spar Stones, a type of Jade, meant Dorothy's Moon Goddess Statue was now anything but ordinary.

Just now, she simply wanted to test if these jade stones could directly bear the Faith Runes because, in her previous world, there was a notion of spirits resonating with fine jade, and this top-grade Moon Spar Stone used for making the statue was the best among fine jade, likely possessing considerable spirituality.

But she hadn't realized until she tried—once she did, she was shocked by the astonishing absorption effect the Moon Spar Stone had on the Faith Runes.

How should she describe it? To use Ruthfiel's analogy, normally drawing Faith Runes on a statue is like the awkward first time between innocent lovers, always somewhat off, needing several attempts to improve the compatibility. But this time, Dorothy's drawing process was like a child driving a car, being flown along by an experienced Big Sister. No sooner had she finished drawing the rune than the jade stone eagerly absorbed it right away.

The whole process was as smooth as silk, a perfect blend of elements, simply ineffable.

This left Dorothy somewhat astonished, although she had made some mental preparations beforehand as jade was never a mundane material but a rather precious transcendent substance.

Just as gemstones contain Magic Power, jade holds Spiritual Power needed by Immortals in their cultivation. In the Eastern Universe, high-quality jade is also known as Spirit Stone, a currency among Immortals.

Even though Witches aren't adept at using the Spiritual Power within jade, it doesn't prevent jade from being a valuable material. Its lack of popularity in the Western Universe is not because Witches disdain jade—although they indeed can't utilize it very well—but mainly because the Western Universe genuinely produces little jade.

The denseness of the Magic Energy in the Western Universe suppresses the relatively sparse Spiritual Energy, and without sufficient Spiritual Energy, it's difficult to generate jade. Conversely, due to the high concentration of Magic Energy, the Western Universe has many gemstone mines.

However, the spiritual energy was after all only suppressed, not completely non-existent; in fact, because it was suppressed, it resulted in all the spiritual energy being forcibly concentrated, thereby creating a unique world similar to the Moon Rabbit World, where jade is found everywhere.

It's just that this type of world is indeed rare in the Western Universe; encountering one in the vast expanse of the universe is no easy feat. Actively seeking one out is akin to finding a needle in a haystack, and whether you can find one really depends on whether fate favors you.

In other words, leave it to chance.

Dorothy previously wondered whether jade, the treasure of the immortals, would be incompatible with the Angel's Power of Faith runes, but now it seemed she was overthinking it.

After all, the Power of Faith is not an exclusive ultimate technique of the Western Universe, but rather something that exists in both the Eastern and Western Universes. In the Immortal World of the Eastern Universe, there also seems to be a practice of following the Power of Faith in some spiritual paths. Therefore, this special Power of Faith should be compatible with both magic power and spiritual power.

"Hehe, this is quite the unexpected surprise,"

Having realized this, Dorothy couldn't help but smile.

If that were the case, then it was time to make a fortune. After all, according to Sidwell, the Moon World might lack everything else, but jade was in abundance. So, simply packaging these jade stones as high-end faith materials should have both the Angel Witches and Angels willingly handing over their wallets, right?

"Hmm, Sidwell, we're going to be rich."

Just thinking of the delightful future of counting money until her hands cramped, Dorothy couldn't help but grin. She turned and patted Miss Moon Rabbit's shoulder, who was still in the dark about everything, and said so.

Sidwell: "???"

Completely baffled, Miss Moon Rabbit looked at her master, not understanding where the money was coming from.

She had already spent all of the Moon Rabbit treasury on buying weapons and equipment in the Witch World, leaving their home so poor that even a mouse would scorn it, without a hammer to their name.

In response to this, Dorothy didn't bother explaining too much. She quickly finished crafting the Faith runes and then the Angel's Ring that Ruthfiel had given her appeared above her head.

Dorothy reached up to remove the Angel's Ring, examining it, and suddenly she became curious about what would happen if her actual body activated the ring now.

Emmmm.... better not, after all, the Fairy King caused such a commotion when he activated it last time. If her actual body activated it now...

Shivering at the thought of Witch Powder fans swarming everywhere, Dorothy abandoned the dangerous idea.

After all, there were too many big shots among the Witch Powder fan base; who knows if a super big shot would follow the connection of faith and come looking to meet her face-to-face. It might be fine if it were a normal fan, but what if it were one of those perverted fans from the comment sections who constantly proclaim their desire to have her bear their children?

After some thought, she decided it was better to simply place the Angel's Ring directly on the head of the freshly crafted Moon Rabbit Statue.

... Installing the Angel's Ring....
