Chapter 1545: Stabilizing
The Dwarf ancestors were Earth Spirits from Ancient Times, creations of the Titans, and the power they wielded was nearly equal to that of the Black Dragon clan.
Of course, they were not as domineering as the Black Dragon clan, since the Black Dragons were infused with true Titan blood, while the Earth Spirits were elemental beings created by the will of earth due to their constitution, essentially a weakened version of lesser Titans.
However, after the war with the old gods ended, these Earth Spirit Warriors were either sealed away or became guardians of the cities left behind by the Titans.
But after the Titans left, the Earth Spirits ultimately did not escape the clutches of the old gods and were cursed with flesh, turning them from inanimate to animate beings.
Over time, the ancient Earth Spirits evolved into three factions; one faction retained their Earth Spirits’ appearance but their power and law power dwindled over generations. Even though they retained the form of Earth Spirits, they no longer possessed their former power and glory, though as elemental beings, this faction is still immensely strong.
The second faction evolved into Mountain Giants, who despite retaining some of their former strength, lost most of their intelligence for high command, becoming a lower intelligence race.
The third faction was completely flesh-ified; they nearly lost all their Earth Spirits law power and endless strength, but they remained a formidable race.
These are known as Dwarfs, and though they are short, compared to gnomes and goblins, they still possess formidable strength and vigor, and while they cannot compare to their ancient ancestors, they are still amongst the forefront of intelligent species today.
This includes the former Dwarf King, titled the King of the Mountain, who ruled the Dwarf Kingdom for thousands of years.
Under his leadership, the Dwarfs unearthed new potential and established their own kingdom and radiant civilization; they not only built giant cities in the mountains but also became the world’s leading experts in forging.
