Mo Jiao shot me a reproachful look and muttered, "Could you stop constantly talking about trusted aides? You make me sound like some outside enemy. Besides, the Devil Master will tell us about many things, but not everything. Plenty of people have mined god-devil stones before, of course, but that is something only the God Venerables can do. Our Proving Dao Heaven really did mine them, though—in the Devil-Refining Blood Prison."
"Changing other people's perceptions definitely can't be done in a day or two. About what you said earlier, then—all the Proving Dao Heavens with devil spirits have mined them before?" I asked.
"They really did mine the Devil-Refining Blood Prison with forbidden artifacts, just like us. Are you saying that places where god-devil stones were mined are the main reason devil spirits were born?" Mo Jiao asked curiously.
"I just think it's very possible. And under special circumstances, devil spirits should be able to possess one, or even hundreds, of cores, right?" I asked again.
"Now that you mention it, I think I remember something. There really were cases where the cores of devil spirits were reborn after the Proving Dao Heavens exterminated them, though they were quite rare." Mo Jiao sank into thought.
If these cores were derived from the laws of the Origin Universe, then they would certainly be extremely difficult to eradicate. Ordinary laws wouldn't work at all.

"Huh? They aren't meant to form god-devil stones?! Then what are they for?" Mo Jiao was just as obsessed with god-devil stones as the other devils. But if someone said that the god-devil stones weren't the forbidden artifacts' primary target, it
