Death Maniac glanced at him and said playfully, "We were promoted at about the same time... But we united after we reached Hell, which is different from you guys."

Ash was a little confused: "If there was no alliance before, why would it be--"

"We were all poisoned by Hell's secret poison. We can't delay any longer." Death Maniac laughed, "As for why we joined forces... because all the demigods in Hell were hunting us down. We had no choice but to join forces with the Observer, and then the Observer hooked up with the Phantom, and we barely managed to escape the demigods' encirclement."

"Why would the demigod of Hell chase you?"

"Can't you guess it yet?"

Ash blinked and quickly grasped the key point: they were all poisoned by the secret poison of hell, and they could not delay but be promoted, so the time for promotion to demigod was almost the same. Didn’t he experience this situation a week ago?

"You all entered the Star Cage and participated in the Angel Hunt!" Ash said firmly, "You all obtained a small part of the Seventh Void Wing! That's why the Demigod of Hell is hunting you down - who wouldn't covet the power that leads to the Supreme?"

"In our original plan, you were supposed to train in Ruby Mountain for another half a year before entering the Star Cage." Death Maniac said, "But everything happened too fast. The Ghost Prophet was resurrected early, the Angel Hunt started early, and the Sword Lady and the Witch were unable to enter the Star Cage with you..."

"That's great." Ash let out a long breath, "Fortunately everything is ahead of schedule."

Si Kuang glanced at him and said nothing more.

At this time, an elegant manor covering a large area appeared on the horizon, separated from the inside and outside by a fence. Inside, there were clusters of flowers and many mansions. The main hall in the center was full of ancient beauty, and time had left weathered cracks on it.

The most peculiar thing is that there is an illusory tilted tower in the center of the courtyard, and on the top of the tower there is a ginger cat running back and forth. With every step it takes, more cracks appear on the tower, making a very ominous sound of cracking stones. But no matter how it runs, the tower does not collapse and remains in this precarious state.

Without the reminder from Death Maniac, Ash could tell that the orange cat was a magic spirit. Even the entire illusory tower was a special building constructed by magic spirits. It was like countless miracles stacked together...

"A wonder?" Ash muttered.

"Yes, the wonder "Turning Tower", or "Turning" for short." Death Maniac landed in the mansion, "We are here."

"But wonders don't only exist inside the Magic Temple—" Ash stopped talking halfway. He looked around the structure of the mansion and at the wild flowers in the distance. His pupils shrank suddenly: "The whole mansion... the whole wilderness is the Magic Temple?"

"To be precise, it is an above-ground temple that is a fusion of multiple magic temples." Death Maniac walked through the courtyard: "When they were demigods, they would leave behind magic temples. These temples cannot be absorbed by other magicians, but they are excellent building materials as bases, and they can even fuse multiple magic temples to increase capacity. For example, this Ten Strings Mansion has the floor space of a higher-level temple, so they can build a higher-level wonder of this size like "Overturning". "

Si Kuang pushed open the main hall door, took a look inside, and snorted, "Looks like you're unlucky - the people here packed up everything and ran away in advance."

Ash went in to take a look and found that the main building was in a mess, with furniture, documents and materials randomly crowded aside. It was obvious that the previous owner was in a hurry before leaving.

"But it's not without gain." Death Maniac waved her hand lightly, and the various gems scattered on the carpet gathered in her hand, "Just in time for you to use them."

"What's this?"

"Empty Wings."

Ash was startled.

"Ouroboros will devour the sorcerer's soul and magic temple, and only the virtual wings will remain." Death Maniac handed the gem to Ash, "Demi-gods are full of treasures. The magic temple can be used as a base material, and the virtual wings will also turn into knowledge gems, which are the most important alchemical materials. Unfortunately, the knowledge gems will return to the virtual world as time goes by. If you are late, there will be nothing left."

Ash looked at the gem in his hand and asked in confusion, "How do I use this? I don't know how to do alchemy, and neither do they."

"We know." Death Maniac said, "So you have an alchemical container that even a fool can use, right?"

Ash blinked and opened the "Aurora's Sorcerer's Manual". A moment later, a glass bottle with a gold rim appeared in his hand.

"Alchemist's Extraction Flask"! One of the legendary items he had drawn before!

"Just throw all the gems in." said Death Maniac.

Ash did as he was told, and saw the gem quickly melt into colorful smoke in the glass bottle. After a few seconds of fusion, it finally formed a cluster of golden light, which came out of the bottle mouth and formed a small bottle of potion in his hand - even a fool can operate it, even the potion bottle is automatically generated!

"Small Knowledge Essence: After drinking, it can condense a small amount of knowledge virtual wings."

Ash muttered, "Is it so convenient to eat people in hell?"

"No, this is a masterpiece of supreme magic." Death Maniac said leisurely, "Alchemists who can refine the essence of knowledge are at the top of the contempt chain of hell, and almost every one of them is supported by a large organization. It is considered good to be able to convert 30% of the essence of knowledge from the knowledge gemstone. There are only a handful of people in hell who can convert 50%. Only the gods who are proficient in alchemy can achieve a conversion rate of more than 70%, such as the Lord of Music and the Lord of Extremes."

"What do you think the conversion rate of the refining bottle can achieve?"

"100%." ​​Yaxiu said, "But didn't Master Le and Master Ji become the Supreme of Magic?"

"There is always a world line where they become the supreme magicians." Death Maniac laughed and said, "If Ouroboros hadn't caught up with you, you could have caused a bloody storm in Hell with just this refining bottle."

Yes, even with Ash's current level of political scheming, he could sense the terrifying magic of the refining bottle. Normal alchemists would definitely have efficiency issues in refining knowledge essences, and even needed a variety of auxiliary materials, so they couldn't be produced in large quantities. In addition, knowledge gems couldn't be preserved, so "killing people to level up" could never become the mainstream route in Hell.

But the refining bottle is extremely efficient, no other materials are needed, and even a fool can use it. As long as Ash operates it properly, he can seduce other demigods to kill people for him to collect knowledge gems. Even if he takes 90% commission from it, there will be people who will do it, because no one has been able to make knowledge essence so efficiently before!

If it were Silver Lantern and Vichy who were in charge, they would definitely kill off only one person in hell, and then chop off the other person's head with a smile, cleanse the entire hell with the demigod's blood, and use the demigod's bones to build their only throne!

"Let's go, there's nothing good in here." The Death Maniac turned and left, "Take away the big toys outside."

"Big toy...?" Ash was startled, then turned to look at the spectacular tower in the courtyard.

"Yes." He murmured, "Why didn't they move this wonder with them when they evacuated?"

"Because none of their temples can hold it." Death Maniac said, "'Overturn' is a higher-level wonder. Only a higher-level temple can hold it. And once it's full, there won't be any other wonders to be placed inside. Even demigods with higher-level temples will dislike 'Overturn' because it's too big."

"'Overturn' is probably their most impressive wonder, and it took a long time to build, so they can use it many times, so they are reluctant to destroy it. They keep it in the hope that they can come back and use it again one day."

"But you are different. Your spiritual paradise can easily fit this wonder." Death Maniac glanced at him, "So, do you understand?"

Ash looked at her, "What?"

"Hell is empty, and you are here." Death Maniac spread his hands and said, "There has never been such a wonderful start. You can plunder the heritage, wonders, and gems left by the demigods. All their accumulations over thousands of years belong to you and you can use them as you like! You don't even need to make choices. Your soul paradise can hold their achievements over tens of millions of years!"

"The demigods took so much effort to steal the Void, but you can steal them with ease! You don't have to make any effort, and you should take it even out of morality, because without you, their achievements will truly be completely forgotten."

"It's very special, isn't it? It's clearly something that comes without any effort, but there's an inexplicable sense of mission." Death Maniac laughed and said, "This is the feeling of burying civilization."

However, Ash looked at her suspiciously and shook his head, "No, not that special."

"Haven't magicians always been carrying the mission of inheritance to obtain the knowledge of their predecessors from the virtual world? What's so surprising about that?" He shrugged. "Don't magicians have to bury dozens or even hundreds of magician shadows in the process of growing up?"

Si Kuang glanced at him, silently took out a cigarette and started to smoke. After a while, he said coldly: "When I show off my qualifications in the future, you just need to flatter and agree with me."

I didn't expect that this guy is the type who cares a lot about face. When he couldn't refute, he started to be unreasonable... But when he thought of the possibility that she was one of the Sword Princess, Ash felt relieved.

"You brought me here specifically to let me know that I can get everything in hell." Ash asked, "So what do you want?"

Death Maniac stretched out his hand to him, "Give me your hand."

Ash looked at her as if she were a fool - he was not a fat woman, how could he be fooled a second time?

The dead man threw the cigarette into the air and said for the second time: "Put your hands here, or I can't explain it."

Ash hesitated for a moment, but still reached out. Then the crazy man caught the fallen cigarette and pressed it against his palm again.

"First," she said, "I want you to stop making Sonia cry... I've made it so obvious, and you can't even do that."

"Secondly," Death Maniac stared into Ash's eyes, "We want to get back the Aurora's Sorcerer's Manual."
