"Do you want to know what you're missing?" Shiva suddenly spoke.
"Hm?" Yuan turned to look at her with raised eyebrows. "I thought you didn't know much—if anything—about blacksmithing."
"I don't recall ever saying I know nothing about it," Shiva calmly replied. "While it's true that I've never personally forged a treasure before, I still understand the fundamentals, especially since I know someone who enjoys doing it and never stops yapping about it."
"What am I missing?" Yuan then asked. "Besides the obvious—a technique."
Shiva entered the chamber and said, "You may know how to use Eternal Essence, but your understanding is limited to the very basics. In fact, when it comes to utilizing Eternal Essence, you're no different from a newborn Eternal."
"Eternal Essence is the purest form of all existence. It is the true origin of everything. Whether it originates from water, fire, or anything else, once it becomes Eternal Essence, it all returns to the same source."
