“Jax, how do I use this statue?” Xu Yuan asked.
“Uh… To summon the Dwarf God or to activate our bloodline?”
“Maybe both.”
“You only need to inject the statue with energy to summon the Dwarf God. If he is alive, he’ll appear here,” said Jax. “However, it isn’t very easy to activate our bloodline. The statue is the key. To maintain and activate our bloodline, it’ll require millions of units of resources every year.”
The gray dwarves couldn’t afford it. That was one of the reasons why their divine bloodline had been useless for hundreds of years. Who would be willing to give up that many resources for a bunch of dwarves?
One million units of resources every year. That was not a small number. No ordinary Lord could afford to splurge that many resources on a stupid statue.
Xu Yuan opened the attribute panel of the old dwarf before him. He wanted to see if their bloodline was worth spending that many resources on.

[Note: Dwarf with great potential. Can obtain shocking abilities if their bloodline is activated.]
Xu Yuan was astonished. Two abilities stood out to him. The Divine Descendant Body and Inherited Knowledge were pretty powerful abilities. He didn’t really care about the rest of the abilities.
Xu Yuan understood that the dwarves indeed had extraordinary potential, but they couldn’t use them because they were living in poverty.
Xu Yuan felt sorry for them. If he could activate their bloodline, he would be able to break the seals on the two most powerful abilities that the dwarves had.
He looked at the other dwarves present in the hall. He discovered that the Divine Descendant Body ability on the other dwarves was only Beyond Grade A, and the upper limit of the potential increase had also been reduced to Grade A.
The temporary level increase was reduced to just 1 level, and all attributes were reduced by varying degrees. But even so, their energy was high, which made them immune to death!
The other dwarves didn’t have the Inherited Knowledge ability.
Aside from Jax, nobody else was a hero unit.
Su Wan looked at the old dwarf. She also valued the Inherited Knowledge ability. Owen had mentioned that Jax could solve complex alchemical problems even though he had never dabbled in alchemy. It was obvious that the Inherited Knowledge ability helped Jax to find solutions to all kinds of problems.
Her territory didn’t lack troops who were good in combat. What she lacked were researchers. Jax could fulfill that shortage.
Using one million rare resources in exchange for a powerful hero unit was not a bad deal. Moreover, Su Wan still had a lot of Dark Crystals that she could use to convert ordinary dwarves into heroes.
“Other than the ones present here, are there more of your kind?” asked Xu Yuan.
“When we decided to join you, some of our clansmen didn’t agree. They stayed behind to guard the encampment.”
“Owen, send someone to bring those dwarves back to Furnace City. Don’t attack them or anything. I don’t want any casualties,” said Xu Yuan.
Owen nodded. He took two gray dwarves along with him to lead the way.
“Are you willing to live on the surface?” asked Xu Yuan.
That made the dwarves excited.
The surface world was synonymous with prosperity, safety, and hope. Almost all underground creatures had an obsession with the surface world.
“Yes!” said Jax.
“When we reach the surface, I’ll activate your bloodline,” said Xu Yuan.
“Thank you for your kindness!”
“Lord Su Wan’s words are as important as mine. You must obey her,” said Xu Yuan.
The dwarves nodded in agreement. Xu Yuan waved a hand to dismiss them.
When the room emptied, Su Wan and Xu Yuan turned back to the statue. They sensed the vast aura within it.
However, Su Wan and Xu Yuan were still puzzled. How could they summon the god from inside the statue?
They felt that letting the statue of the Ancient god devour the statue was such a waste. These kinds of treasures were very rare.
Su Wan and Xu Yuan put away the statue and thought about the immediate problem that they faced. They needed to find the Crimson Moon.
Su Wan wondered if Bayion had any luck in finding them. Only the Crimson Moon could come up with a way to deal with gods..
