Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Jax felt uneasy.
“How will you prove your identity?”
“Great Ruler, this is the last treasure left by our god. It was given to us.” The old dwarf took a deep breath and took out the crimson dwarf statue with trembling hands.
Su Wan was flustered. Her breath came in quick gasps. She felt the aura of the statue. The aura of a god!
Just as Su Wan was about to check its attribute panel, the dwarf said something that raised the hairs on her arms.
“Before our god went into slumber, he predicted something. He said the Crimson Moon would rise again, and this treasure could summon him.”
Su Wan was shocked. Even Xu Yuan was surprised. He hadn’t expected to hear about the Crimson Moon in the underground world.
The Dwarf God would return with the rise of the Crimson Moon. That sounded very contradictory. Wasn’t Crimson Moon supposed to get rid of gods?
The prophecy seemed to be more complicated than Xu Yuan had expected.
Su Wan looked at the statue in the old dwarf’s hands.
She calmed herself and checked its attribute panel.
[Statue of the Dwarf God]
[Level: Special]
[Characteristic: Seals a part of the soul of the Dwarf God and activates the power of the descendants.]
[Note: A treasure forged by the Dwarf God himself, scaling part of his soul in the core.]
Su Wan held her breath. The soul of the Dwarf God was sealed in the statue! Why were gods found in abundance these days?
This statue held the real soul of a god, not like the clone of the God of Light that Xu Yuan had imprisoned. The statue itself was the key to summoning the Dwarf God!
Jax looked at Su Wan and Xu Yuan anxiously.
“Do… Do you have any questions?” asked Jax after a long pause.
“What do you know about the Crimson Moon?” asked Xu Yuan.
“The prophecy was too vague. We have searched far and wide for countless years but didn’t find any information relating to the Crimson Moon,” said Jax solemnly. “Our ancestors even went as far as to think that the prophecy was just something that was made up by a sage to keep the dwarves united. There is a possibility that our god might not really wake up… he might be long gone!” Jax was in despair. The gray dwarves had been the greatest and strongest race in the underground world once. Now, their numbers had dwindled, and they weren’t as powerful as before.
The gray dwarves had lost faith and had left. A handful of dwarves in front of Xu Yuan were the only ones left.
“Prophecies cannot be fabricated, at least not the ones from gods,” said Xu Yuan firmly.
“Great Lord, are you speaking the truth?” Jax’s eyes widened in disbelief. His breath quickened. He stared at Xu Yuan with an unwavering gaze.
“You aren’t worth a lie. It’s confirmed that the Crimson Moon will rise soon. So, your prophecy wasn’t something fake,” said Xu Yuan.
The gray dwarves wouldn’t have believed the words if it had come from any other person. However, this person was the true ruler of the underground world. He wouldn’t lie to them.
“Our legend was true all along! Praise be to the great ruler, Xu Yuan!”
“By the Dwarf God, I swear that this is the best news I’ve ever heard in my life!” The dwarves cried in relief. Tears rolled down their ugly faces. They had lost hope and still stayed put. Xu Yuan had single-handedly restored their faith! “Great Ruler, the fate of the gray dwarves is in your hands from now on,” said Jax. He walked up the golden stairs that led to the throne and placed the crimson statue in Xu Yuan’s hands.
“We will fight to the death for your glory!” said Jax.
The other dwarves were skeptical. They had decided to cooperate till their god was revived. But now, they no longer had their fate in their hands.
Xu Yuan looked at the old dwarf. He liked clever creatures.
Xu Yuan accepted the statue. It was heavier than it looked.
The divine aura disappeared the moment he touched the statue. There were no more magical fluctuations. The statue looked like any other ordinary statue. The old dwarf was shocked. ‘What was going on?’
Seeing that Xu Yuan hadn’t reacted, Jax lowered his head and didn’t say anything.
Xu Yuan understood that the aura of the statue had disappeared because it was afraid of his power.
He motioned for Su Wan to present the previous statue. He then put both statues side by side.
The statue of the Dwarf God had no aura, but the statue of the ancient god emitted a dark light. The power of the gods was hard to fathom.
In order to prevent any accidents, Xu Yuan kept the energy of the ancient god statue under control.
The statue of the ancient god was a formidable killing weapon against the masters of this world’s laws.
Now, it seemed that the soul of the Dwarf God sealed in the depths of the statue still had some form of perception..
