"The Eternals are the creators of natural treasures? You’ve got to be kidding me..." Yuan mumbled in a bewildered voice after learning this information from Shiva.
"Most people believe treasures are creations of the Heavens," Shiva continued, her tone laced with mockery. "But that’s merely a delusion born from their ignorance of the unknown. Honestly, it’s quite hilarious."
Xiao Cangming then said, "But I have witnessed treasures materializing out of thin air with my very eyes. It usually happens in places where spiritual energy is abundant."
"Sorry to disappoint you, but that is also not ’natural’. As for how it’s achieved... It’s a little complicated, so I’ll save myself the trouble."
Yuan then spoke, "I couldn’t care less how it’s done. I want to know why. I highly doubt the Eternals are putting these treasures in our world for fun."
Shiva smiled faintly and said, "Then you underestimate how unbearably bored we become. We Eternals have existed since the dawn of time—you can’t even begin to fathom how many ages we’ve spent drifting alone in the void."
"That said, I’m sure not every Eternal is doing it just for fun. Some probably don’t want to waste their effort or just want their toys to be used."
"What about cursed treasures?" Li Zhenwu asked. "Those that possess great power but also carry dangerous backlashes."
"Anything that you humans didn’t create was created by Eternals."
Yuan then spoke with a mocking tone. "In that case, we humans aren’t far behind—and some of us might even surpass the Eternals in craftsmanship, considering how some of those natural treasures are complete trash."
"Hahaha!" Shiva suddenly burst out laughing.
Moments later, she stopped and said, "How naive. Most of the treasures were made trash on purpose."
"Why would they do something like that?" Xiao Meilin asked.
"Due to the absolute power, our influence in this world is heavily restricted, and that includes our creations. If we created treasures too powerful, they wouldn’t be able to enter this world."
"Wait a second..." Yuan suddenly spoke up. "Are you referring to the Forbidden Void Treasures?"
"What are Forbidden Void Treasures?" Xiao Chen asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"There existed treasures born from the Starry Sky—found drifting within the endless void," Yuan explained. "However, no matter the method, these treasures could never be brought back to the Nine Heavens, as though some unseen force forbade their entry into our world. That is why they came to be known as Forbidden Void Treasures."
"I have never heard of such a thing until today," Xiao Cangming remarked, and he considered himself very knowledgeable.
"Me neither," Xiao Meilin said.
"Well, they weren’t discovered until after the Immortal Monarch’s Era came to an end," he said.
"That explains it."
"Anyway, you said my Sacred Chalice of Purification is broken? How can I fix it?"
"Fix it? You don’t have that capability." Shiva said while shaking her head.
"I may not look like it, but I know a thing or two about crafting treasures," said Yuan.
"So what? Even if you’re the best craftsman in the world, you won’t compare to an Eternal."
"So it’s a matter of technique."
"At least you get it."
Yuan may have been the God of Creation in the past with god-like abilities, but there’s a vast difference between god-like and truly godly skills. Not only that, but Eternals likely had their own crafting methods, so regardless of Yuan’s abilities, he wouldn’t be able to fix the treasures created by them until he acquired their techniques.
"Then do you have any suggestions?" Yuan then asked.
