CHAPTER 573: The God Realm?
The sky outside gradually darkened, and the ordinary dwarves had returned home. They did not know what Billy was planning, and Billy did not want too many people to know about it, so he did not inform those dwarves.
Zhao Hai did not go out but calmly waited in his room for Billy. It was only after the sky was completely dark that Billy led a few elders to Zhao Hai's room.
Zhao Hai invited them into the room. Billy then respectfully placed the small hammer on the table with both hands and turned to Zhao Hai, saying, "Sir, I entrust our clan's divine artifact to you. Please be sure to help us."
Zhao Hai smiled slightly and replied, "I will do my best. Please have a few people stand guard outside to ensure no one disturbs me. Laura, come over and help me."
Laura and the others responded and tidied up the items on the table, clearing a large space. Seeing this, Billy immediately took his leave. After they stepped outside with the elders, they did not go far but stood outside waiting for Zhao Hai, clearly prepared to guard outside his room for the night.
Once they were outside, Zhao Hai immediately picked up the small hammer and, with Laura and the others, slipped into the space. As soon as they entered, a notification sound echoed: "Weak spiritual consciousness detected, enhancing spiritual consciousness!"
Then Zhao Hai felt the small hammer in his hand emit a red glow, and soon, a figure slowly appeared before him.
Zhao Hai was taken aback. He noticed that this time the notification sound from the space was different from when Mu'er leveled up last time. After a moment of thought, he realized that the space had undergone multiple upgrades, and now the items used for upgrades contained magical power, making this area increasingly resemble a magical world, hence the change in the notification sound.
The previous space was merely a program, but now it was becoming more anthropomorphic. This was a good thing for Zhao Hai, as he was genuinely curious about what the space would become after these upgrades.
At that moment, the figure on the hammer gradually solidified. To Zhao Hai's surprise, but also in line with his expectations, the spirit of the artifact was a dwarf.
The dwarf glanced at Zhao Hai and asked, "Who are you? You are not a dwarf. Why can you awaken me?"
Zhao Hai was stunned. He realized that this spirit was more advanced than Mu'er; it seemed to know certain things. Zhao Hai quickly replied, "Hello, I am a friend of the dwarf clan. I practice a method that can solidify souls, so the dwarves asked me for help in making you visible."
The spirit nodded, and just then, the space announced: "The spiritual consciousness refuses to submit to the host, space domination!"
As the voice of the space faded, a burst of white light enveloped the dwarf spirit. The dwarf spirit roared in anger and then fell silent. The white light flashed and vanished, but by that time, the dwarf was already respectfully standing before Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai was stunned when the space gave him that notification. He hadn't expected the space could help him subdue this spirit. While he was still in shock, the process was already complete.
Looking at the spirit that was now respectfully standing there, Zhao Hai couldn't help but smile wryly. If the dwarves knew he had subdued their divine artifact, he wondered if they would try to kill him.
Zhao Hai smiled wryly at the spirit and asked, "What is your name? You seem to remember a lot."
The spirit respectfully replied, "Yes, I am called Iron Hammer. My master is the god of craftsmen, Homer. I was sent down to protect the dwarf clan."
Zhao Hai was taken aback and looked at Iron Hammer, confused. "Down here? What do you mean?"
Iron Hammer explained, "Down here refers to the human realm, which is now known as the Ark Continent. The Ark Continent is just one dimension among many in this world. The place I came from is called the God Realm. Thousands of years ago, my master was the most outstanding warrior and craftsman of the dwarf clan. Later, he ascended to godhood and went to the God Realm. However, in order to ensure the dwarf clan could continue to thrive, he sent me down to the human realm to serve as the divine artifact of the dwarves, guarding them."
