Deities: Starting From Goblins

Chapter 365: 180

Upon second thought, Carter realized Logan’s intention and had to admit that it was a clever move. Logan was an outsider, and the group of ten or so people had always been suspicious of him.

Now that Logan claimed to have obtained an opportunity, the group might believe his words in their anger, but once they calmed down, they would understand that this was just Logan framing Carter.

Carter pretended to be angry, “This is a frame-up! Everyone, calm down and don’t fall for Logan’s scheme. If we start fighting each other, we’ll only let, Logan profit.”

Gamenor was about to take action when he suddenly heard Carter’s words. Instantly, he sobered up, realizing that every sentence made sense. Why would Logan say such things out of the blue?

If Carter had really obtained an opportunity, then it must be shared with Logan. In that case, Logan would not speak ill of Carter. However, Logan was now trying to discredit Carter, which meant that no opportunity had been obtained.

The reason for saying this was simply to see them fight each other. Fortunately, Carter reminded him, otherwise, he would have been deceived by Logan, who had been somewhat despicable.

Gamenor took a deep breath and stared at Carter once more, “You really haven’t gained any opportunity? I am not easily deceived, and I have evidence of you obtaining the opportunity.”

“I can assure you that I really don’t know anything about it. But if you must listen to Logan, I can’t defend myself. However, I hope you understand that we are ultimately partners, aren’t we?”

Carter still insisted. He had known Gamenor for more than a day or two and knew that he had been deceived. Gamenor kept asking questions only because he was suspicious and cautious.

As expected, after Carter denied it again, Gamenor eventually chose to believe him. He turned the spearhead towards Logan and identified Logan as the real culprit behind everything.

“You’re really good at tricks, wanting to see us fight among ourselves. It’s a pity that you outsmarted yourself. We understand each other so well that we would never believe that one of us would do such a thing.”

Gamenor sneered coldly and took a step forward, “Since you harbor evil intentions, I cannot tolerate you today. I plan to kill you directly in this Illusionary Realm and deprive you of any chance to reincarnate.”

“You certainly can, but I advise you to think it through. After all, in this Illusionary Realm, you’ll need my intelligence. In case you end up in a dangerous situation later, who else can help you?”

Logan was very composed, believing that the group could weigh the pros and cons of fighting him. Was it worth it? Although he was easy to deal with in their eyes, this was, after all, deep in the Ancient Road Illusion.

Gamenor tried to suppress his rage but stopped in his tracks after hearing Logan’s words. Indeed, Logan was extremely intelligent, and there were many situations where he could be of use.

“Fine, I’ll spare you this time. Let’s move on and search for the next opportunity. We didn’t expect to find anything useful from this wooden cottage anyway, as it’s too ancient and dilapidated.”

Although the others were still angry and wanted to interrogate further, they couldn’t help but follow Gamenor’s lead. Continuing to argue would be pointless, so they proceeded into the Illusionary Realm.

An hour passed, and everyone was quite exhausted. They still hadn’t found any opportunities, leading some to believe that there were none left in this Ancient Road Illusion and that it would be best to leave as soon as possible.

After all, the deeper one went into the Ancient Road Illusion, the greater the danger, and it was no longer a place for Transcendent Warriors. Even a regular Throne Realm cultivator would have to weigh the risks carefully.

However, Gamenor and the others were reluctant to leave without gaining any opportunities. Since they had managed to enter the Illusionary Realm once, they were unwilling to leave empty-handed. When would they have another chance?

“I think there’s no need to worry. If it were so easy to obtain opportunities, how could it be our turn? Maybe they were plundered hundreds of years ago. There’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world.”

Logan spoke up from the side, not wanting these people to leave. After all, having more people meant more shields, and if they encountered any danger, he could be the first to escape unscathed.

As everyone continued to move forward, they came across a massive rubble pile. Countless unstable rocks swayed in the wind, as if they would fall off the cliff at any moment if the wind grew stronger.

No one dared to continue. They were only Transcendent Warriors after all, and while dodging one or two rocks was manageable, dodging a large group was too difficult. Moreover, each rock seemed to weigh ten thousand tons, and being hit even slightly could cost them their lives.

Upon further observation, they realized that there were no other paths beside this rubble pile.

Everyone began to debate whether to proceed. Some argued that they had to take risks to gain any opportunities, and this was a necessary hurdle for cultivators.

However, those who feared the journey were many, and considering that they all came from prominent family clans and had enjoyed comfortable lives since childhood, taking such a risk would not be worth it.

Seizing the opportunity, Carter stood up first, “I’m a bit scared and won’t go any further. I’d rather leave the Ancient Road Illusion. After all, my life comes first. Anyone who wants to accompany me in leaving?”

He had already obtained more than a dozen Law Spirit Grasses, and there were no other opportunities in Illusionary Realm that appealed to him. He wanted to find a quiet place and digest the grasses without others coveting them.

This was a good opportunity to leave without raising suspicion by pretending to be afraid and hesitant. His voice was echoed by several others who planned to leave the Illusionary Realm with him.

“If you dare leave, as long as I manage to leave the Illusionary Realm alive, I will inform my family and make sure they treat your families well. Your families will surely have no choice but to expel you from the clan, and then you’ll have to fend for yourselves without protection.”

Gamenor’s scolding scared several people off, preventing them from attempting to leave. After all, Gamenor rarely got angry, and few could bear the consequences of his wrath.

Then Gamenor turned to Logan, asking him to come up with a solution to pass the rubble safely. However, Logan was at a loss, as he was no deity.

Time passed, and they remained stuck there. Nobody dared to be the first to cross, and the unstable rocks in the wind seemed to be on the verge of falling at any moment.
