Upon hearing the term "Grand Creator," Xue An was suddenly taken aback, a trace of surprise flickering in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
"I see, no wonder Ye Hanshang was able to build something as magnificent as Iron Net Mountain. If I’m not mistaken, he must have received your help, right?"
Wan Han nodded, "That’s right! But actually, it’s not such a difficult task, because the Underworld was originally created by our Alchemy Civilization, so to create those constructs, it’s enough to manipulate the Alchemy Origin with some small means!"
Xue An nodded, "I already knew all of this!"
The woman was taken aback, "You knew already?"
"Yes! Why do you think I came to the Alchemy Civilization?"
"Why?"
"I originally came seeking help because the Alchemy Origin of the Underworld had encountered problems requiring urgent resolution, but upon arriving here, I found that you yourselves were already overwhelmed!" Xue An sighed softly.
The woman was silent for a moment, then softly asked, "Can I ask what went wrong?"
"Of course!" Then Xue An gave a rough account of the incident.
After listening, Wan Han showed a bitter smile, "So that’s how it is! What do you plan to do now?"
Xue An said lightly, "Rather than talking about my plans, I’m curious about why you’ve ended up like this! What’s the story with the statues in the Divine Temple?"
Wan Han was silent for a moment before finally letting out a long sigh.
"You’re impressive, even more so than Ye Hanshang! But as for the questions you’ve asked, I can only say..." Wan Han showed a bitter smile.
"Reaping what one sows!"
"Oh?" Xue An raised an eyebrow slightly, "How so?"
Wan Han said softly, "I don’t know if you’re familiar with the history of our Alchemy Civilization, but I can responsibly tell you that long ago, it spread throughout the Multiverse, overpowering all the immortals and unmatched in might!"
Xue An nodded, "I’ve heard of it!"
"But later, for various reasons, our Alchemy Civilization began to decline, eventually retreating to this small corner of space, yet even then we were still exceedingly powerful!" At this point, wan Han’s face showed a look of pride.
"Was it when Ye Hanshang came to you?" Xue An asked.
Wan Han nodded, "That’s right! But afterwards... things changed!"
"What happens when a civilization begins to decline? Some say aberrations run rampant, others say natural and man-made disasters occur, but our Alchemy Civilization was different."
"Our destruction was entirely due to our own arrogance." Wan Han said with a bitter smile.
"Arrogance..." Xue An softly murmured.
"Yes, arrogance! At the time, although we had lost our ancestral glory, we were still extremely conceited, and the fuse of destruction also stemmed from this!"
At this point, Wan Han asked rhetorically, "Did you see those statues in the Divine Temple outside?"
"Of course!"
"Those were our masterpieces at the time! We were obsessed with creation, frantically pursuing the thrill of being a creator, and eventually developed those alchemic constructs with self-awareness, capable of self-evolution!"
Fear showed in Wan Han’s eyes, "In the end, everything spiraled out of control!"
"But after the war ended, he disappeared!"
