"The people living in the Sandy Town aren't actually called the Sand race. In fact, being called in such a way is an insult for our people, since, for all of us, such a name is only for an inferior race compared to ours. What our people are really called is the Earthen Spirit race," Mayor Jong said as he put his right hand forward and turned it into the sand, then it combined together to form bits of rocks, soon after it turned into a smooth stone, then into a metal like iron, and lastly he made it crystallized.

The process was really quick that only Leo was able to see it before Mayor Jong returned his right hand to normal again.

After showing that to Leo, Mayor Jong then continued, "The Earthen Spirit race is similar to the higher level of Elves called the High Elves, or the Orcs higher level called the High Orcs. In short, we are one of the High Spirits of the Spirit race, specifically the people that made up the entire Spirit Alliance."

Hearing such revelation, Leo was right after momentarily stunned. He just can't believe what Mayor Jong had said, as he never expected it to be this shocking.

In his knowledge, every race with the name 'High' before the name of their race was those people with a really pure bloodline of their own kind.

Their bloodline isn't only pure, but the special traits of their race are also much more powerful, evident, and special than those of the inferior ones. Like for example, the High Orc's physical strength is ten times or more than the ordinary Orcs, the High Elves's unique capability to communicate with Magical Beast is much more effective compared to the ordinary Elves, the High Dwarves's talent in smithing, forging, and inventing is much more higher than the ordinary Dwarves, or the High Spirit's affinity to their specific Element is a lot stronger compared to those weaker Spirit race like the Sand race.

Those were the exact reason why they are really powerful and are called with the name 'High'.

Honestly, even the Human race used to have High Humans in the past. But apparently, they were forced to extinction, which is the reason why the Humans of Earth were transported in the Celestial World, said by the God of Fate to him back when he was still young and it was also the story passed down to the Human race. Everyone in the Human race practically knows about it. After all, a fall of a race is a very big deal, especially to those that are near to extinction as well. Wait, no, there is still actually one last remaining High Human left, and that is the Dark God himself, the God of the Black organization.

"In the other Foreign races, the title 'High' is being regarded with high respect and admiration by most of their fellow races. But in the Spirit race, we are what they commonly called as traitors," Mayor Jong paused to heave a long sigh before continuing, "We are relentlessly hunted down by those inferior kinds of the Spirit race. Killed, without any exception. Even surrendering is impossible, as we would only have a Fate worse than death if we really choose to surrender."

"You can even say that our people have a life much more worst than your Human race when you first got transported into the Celestial World. Not only were we being hunted down by the Foreign races that viewed us in an antagonistic way, but we are also being hunted down by our very own kind," Mayor Jong silently laughed in self-mockery as he continued, "It's really ridiculous how the people we used to protect and helped in the past suddenly turned to bite the fingers that used to feed them."

Mayor Jong's eyes looked like he was reminiscing about the past as he silently asked, "Sometimes, I even wondered, where did we, the High Spirits, go wrong? What unforgivable mistake or sin did we make for our own kind to relentlessly hunt us down? Just what exactly happened for our High Spirit race to fall into such a state?"

"Later, through the sacrifice of billions of the different High Spirits race, even causing some more powerful High Spirit races to go extinct, we found out that our so-called unforgivable sin was actually our great God Elementus had fallen from grace after the God of Fate for the reason that he had helped the God of Fate escaped away," Mayor Jong shook his head in pity as he continued, "Apparently, all the Gods that God Elementus fought against used their forces in the Celestial World to slowly control the Spirit race. But since the High Spirit race were loyal believers to God Elementus, they were unable to control any of us. That's why they used those inferior Spirit races to fight against us. In short, to eliminate all of us and replace us!"

"It was then the moment the Spirit Alliance was established. Its main purpose wasn't to protect the Spirit races from those Foreign races that viewed us in an antagonistic way, but rather to hunt the High Spirit races down and be one of the Gods weapons for their plan that we are still oblivious about." A tear can't help forming from Mayor Jong's eyes as he continued, "Ever since then, all the High Spirit races embarked on a journey to go far from the territory of the Spirit Alliance and reestablish again our race, thus the reason why the Sandy Town was established."

When Mayor Jong finished his storytelling, he turned to look at Leo, who he soon noticed was staring blankly in front of them right now.

Mayor Jong immediately became alerted as he turned to look at their front, thinking that there was something over there. But to his surprise, there was actually nothing in front of them right now, just pure darkness and nothing else. Not even a single one of those Sandstone Spiders was in front of them.

"Leo?" Mayor Jong can't help calling out to Leo, as he realized that Leo must have been really shocked by his revelation, causing him to stare blankly in front.

What Mayor Jong had said was actually what happened to Leo.

At this moment, Leo was really shocked by Mayor Jong's revelation, as he can't believe that the history of Mayor Jong's High Spirit race was actually related to the Fate Cube. No, to be more exact, it was related to his ability to summon Elementals.

The God of Fate's unique capability was to only control Fate, not create Elementals. But now, he finally understood the reason why; it was simply because the God of Fate wasn't the only one hiding in the Fate Cube, but also the God of the Spirit race, God Elementus.

The God of Fate didn't mention this, for Fate knows what reason. But he is one hundred percent sure that it is true just by basing on Mayor Jong's words alone.

He doesn't know who exactly was God Elementus yet, as he hasn't read books about this God, but he knew one thing for sure; as someone who once ruled all over the entire Spirit race, this God also has the special traits of all the Spirit races combined together.

That should be the reason why he was able to summon Elementals, because Elementals themselves were almost identical to the Spirit races. The only difference between the two is that the Spirit race was actual people, while the Elementals were just entities made entirely of a specific Element.

Aside from this discovery, Leo also realized that if God Elementus exist in the Fate Cube as well aside from the God of Fate, then it should be possible that there are other Gods inside the Fate Cube, right?

This was a really shocking discovery, as this simply meant that the God of Fate wasn't actually only fighting alone, but he also has other Gods to help him. And this also meant that there is a really high chance for even more Gods to be secretly allied with the God of Fate as well.

What does this imply?

Well, it implies that he can use this advantage to easily invite other Foreign races once the time he starts expanding to the territories of the Foreign races comes.

Once that time comes, he is sure that the other Gods would already know about his existence and that the long-lost God of Fate and God Elementus were helping him, including those that were secretly allied with the two Gods. That meant those allied Gods would certainly try to communicate with their own forces to secretly help him through all sorts of different means.

However, just like the God Elementus and the High Spirit races, there might be other Foreign races as well that despite their Gods secretly being allied to the God of Fate, they can only lend a limited amount of help since they don't have much control with their own race anymore as the other Gods had already seized the majority of the control. Or that their movements are restricted in fear of falling from grace.

With such a case, although they could still help him, they wouldn't be able to help him that much.

Of course, if they were like Mayor Jong's High Spirit race, then they would surely be able to help him a lot. Because High races would be one powerful force throughout the entire Celestial World once he helps them become stronger.

"Then I guess, Major Jong and my goal are just the same. If I can really help him become even more powerful... No, help all of the people of the Sandy Town to become more powerful, then they would be able to help me a lot in the near future." Leo thought to himself.
