"A creation designed?"

Upon hearing the words of the Elf Mother Tree, Austin was utterly stunned, his eyes filled with shock.

Pure-blooded Beastmen were designed as war weapons, while Half-Beastmen were merely failures in the process.

The Elf Race was also a designed producer.

How is this possible!

The words of the Elf Mother Tree almost overturned Austin's hard-earned worldview established in this world.

Who exactly possesses such terrifying means to create new races in this world?

Moreover, among the created races, pure-blooded Beastmen as battle weapons even once established a Beastman Empire spanning the entire continent!

This is simply unimaginable.

"What kind of beings created you? Were they Divine?"

Full of doubts, Austin asked aloud.

In this world, perhaps only the Divine could create a race, and it must be a Divine with strong divine power to have such ability.

However, as soon as the words left his mouth, Austin realized something was wrong.

According to the Elf Queen's words, years ago, pure-blooded Beastmen and the Elf Race were blasphemers.

If the creators were Divine, how could these two races become blasphemers?

Clearly, their creation was not by the Divine, but very likely by the Divine's enemies.

The second base point, the Fallen Divine Kingdom below the Volcanic Cluster Domain, flashed through his mind.

"No, it was not the Divine, but the enemies of the Divine, the Arcane Mages."

Sure enough, the Mother Tree gave a negative answer.

"Arcane Mages?"

Unexpected, yet logical.

Arcane Mages are a group who pursue the path of science, exploring the mysteries and truths of the world, naturally at odds with the Divine.

Moreover, to them, creating races that should not exist through experiments is not impossible.

In the Dragon Race's inherited memories, these people are described as madmen, though it seems Arcane Mages have not appeared on the Seta Continent for a long time.

Were they suppressed to extinction?

"Indeed, it was the Arcane Mages, long ago, who claimed to share the rights under the starry sky with the Divine."

The Mother Tree seemed to gaze at the sky, her eyes seeing the distant past, slowly recounting an ancient history that had occurred in this world.

"Once, Arcane Mages who pursued truth created an incredibly glorious civilization, their footprints traversing every corner of the Multi-universe, unveiling hidden truths and creating countless brilliance."

"It was a supremely glorious era, Arcane Mages stood high, shoulder to shoulder with the Divine, a vast Sky City like a continent, floating among the stars, adjacent to the Divine Kingdom, stars shining."

"Whether it was the Elf Race, pure-blooded Beastmen, or Half-Beastmen, they were merely part of the brilliant works of the Arcane Empire."

"Initially, the purpose of designing elves was to help Arcane Mages produce and cultivate Magic Potions, while pure-blooded Beastmen were the humble scavengers created to clear resisting pests in the Multi-universe, and Half-Beastmen were just failures in the process of creating pure-bloods."

"At that time, Arcane Mages ruled the Multi-universe with invincible divine might, and even the Divine dared not face their brilliance."

"Then, war broke out."

"A war between Arcane Mages and the Divine spread across the Multi-universe, countless material planes were obliterated, the Divine Kingdom fell from the sky, countless divine beings perished, yet ultimately the war ended with a pyrrhic victory for the Divine, ending the era of Arcane Mages' glory."

"The Divine, although victorious, were also badly affected, with most divine beings perishing, and the rest falling into slumber, only remnants of divine power responding to prayers on the continent, causing the Seta Continent to enter an era without gods."

"Twilight of the Gods, is what later generations called that war."

"The Arcane Council extinguished, gods fell into slumber, the Seta Continent, deprived of powerful realms, fell into chaotic warfare, where various races battled for supremacy of the continent."

"Later, amid the warfare, the two branches inheriting the Arcane Mages' legacy from the previous era, pure-blooded Beastmen, and the Elf Race began to join forces."

"On the Central Earth Continent, pure-blooded Beastmen, originally designed as war weapons, combined with inheriting most of the Arcane Mages' legacy, allied with the Elf Race, causing races already gravely affected by continuous wars between the Divine and Arcane Mages to no longer resist, retreating under pure-blooded Beastmen's attacks, establishing a gigantic Beastman Empire. Meanwhile, in the south of the continent, the Elf Race likewise occupied vast forest lands, dominating the entire southern continent."

"An alliance was formed at that time, a pact concerning the two created races, in that era, they joined forces."

"As the deities faded, the Beastman Empire rose in that era, continuing for a millennium, ruling the continent with its glory."

"Yet mysteriously, several thousand years ago, the vast Beastman Empire suddenly collapsed overnight, simultaneously, the Elf Royal Court was heavily damaged, retreating into the Kawa Great Forest."

"The surviving pure-blooded Beastmen mixed among the numerous Half-Beastmen, escaped to the Kawa Great Forest, sheltering by surviving in the forest, under the protection of the also mysteriously damaged Elf Kingdom."

A vast history of the world slowly unfolded before Austin's eyes as the Elf Mother Tree narrated.

As if taking him to that epic era, witnessing the rise and fall of civilization's history.

This enormous amount of information, concerning the shifts of the Seta Continent from ancient times to the present, made Austin unable to come to his senses for a long time.

This Elf Mother Tree, despite having an age spanning a millennium.

Yet the lineage of the Elf Mother Tree almost merges all experiences and memories into the seeds of the next generation, allowing the new generation not only to contain everything experienced by the previous generation, but even being some wars' eyewitness from remote ancient times.

Therefore, the Elf Mother Tree seems to have personally experienced numerous ancient events, including the war causing Twilight of the Gods, vividly visible.

Regarding the conversation, particularly the epic-like history on the Seta Continent, Austin was filled with awe and amazement.

Never expected, everything had such a chain reaction.

The rise and fall of a Beastman Empire was intimately linked to the previous era of Arcane Mages.

And those Arcane Mages who rivaled the Divine, what majestic demeanor they must have had!

After a long time, Austin managed to calm his turbulent thoughts.

"May the senior know if the Arcane Mages of those days left any method or artifact to traverse worlds?"

Thinking it over, Austin asked the question he most wanted to know.

And he shared some information he heard from Quik.

"To traverse worlds? It is said that after achieving epic status, one can transcend time and space, sense the boundary of the main matter realm, and start exploring the Multi-universe. But I do remember one thing that can allow ordinary people to traverse the boundaries between worlds."

"It is the Arcane Council's supreme creation: the Gate of Truth!"
