Deities: Starting From Goblins

Chapter 410: 225

More than two thousand people handed over their Spirit Stones, and in the end, a total of 40,000 Spirit Stones were collected. This made the more than one hundred Thrones grin from ear to ear. After all, this was 40,000 Spirit Stones, equivalent to ten years of a sect’s income.

With these resources, even if they don’t become disciples of Holy See, their future would still be limitless, and it would only be a matter of time before their breakthrough to Dominator-level. Of course, Spirit Stones couldn’t be blatantly pocketed, as they had already said that they would be used to set up the array.

More than a hundred Thrones went to the side and began to discuss: “I propose that of the 40,000 Spirit Stones, 10,000 be used to set up the array, and the remaining 30,000 be divided among the more than 100 of us. Each person would get around 300, which is equivalent to several years of income for us.”

“What if the strength of the array is not enough, and it gets broken through by the Demon Beasts? Wouldn’t that be a great loss for a small gain? We don’t lack these 300 Spirit Stones. To be safer, let’s use all of them to set up the array.”

Some people did not agree and said word by word: “The fury of the Demon Beasts is terribly terrifying. We saw it yesterday, and I am afraid it will be even more terrifying when the sky turns dark today. Do not be foolish, it’s just Spirit Stones. If you join any sect as an elder, your annual salary would be more than this, right?”

“You are too afraid; the fury of the Demon Beasts is just symbolic. For the higher-ranked beings, it’s a devastating blow, but we are Thrones already? If we’re even afraid of this, aren’t we ashamed of our lifelong cultivation?”

The person rolled his eyes at him, thinking that he was making a fuss. If an array made of only 10,000 Spirit Stones was not enough, then when in the past, they already broke heaven’s rule when they used 100 Spirit Stones, but now it’s a hundred times more powerful. As long as the Dominator Demon Beast inside the mountain range doesn’t come out, it should be stable.

Another Throne also stood up and said greedily, “Even 10,000 is too much. Why not use only 1,000 Spirit Stones to set up the array? Let’s share the rest among ourselves. Anyway, the array is just for show and not something to actually stop the Demon Beasts. The fewer people we have, the better it is for us.”

After some discussion, more than a hundred Thrones finally decided to swallow the 30,000 and use only 10,000 to set up the array. Only two or three people stubbornly insisted that they shouldn’t exploit the situation, and couldn’t fit in with everyone else. In the end, when they couldn’t come to an agreement, they angrily went to one side.

On the other side, after a day of hard work, Logan’s defensive array was completed. This array was different from ordinary arrays as Logan learned it from a book and from an adventure in a secret realm previously. Logan even improved upon it and added a Law Dan Medicine.

Logan heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that there was no chance of failure now. The defense strength of the array was extremely terrifying. He estimated that even if a Dominator attacked all day, there would be no problem. Even if more than ten Dominators attacked together, they could hold on for three days.

If a Holy See-level expert came, the array could withstand three attacks, and the explosion caused by the shattering of the array would sweep across a large amount of the Law, delaying the Holy See-level expert for an instant.

Ba Ke Yun of Ardent Cloud Sect stepped forward and said, “These people have been divided into more than ten groups today, but they also built defensive arrays without prior agreement. It seems they have understood the horror. However, their array appeared to be one day behind yours and didn’t seem very impressive.”

“As expected.” Logan wasn’t surprised. After all, there were many smart people among the 10,000 cultivators, so they would definitely prepare in advance. However, he believed that their efforts would be in vain because their arrays were inferior and could not withstand the revenge of the Demon Beasts in the next three days.

Logan stretched lazily, feeling a bit hungry, “Find some food. I’m starving after a day of hard work, and I need to replenish my strength. In the next two days, I can rest easy.”

“The early bird doesn’t compare to the wise bird. Just in time, I brought a lot of dried food. Why not sit down and eat together?” A hearty voice came at that moment, and as Logan and Ba Ke Yun turned their heads, they saw Shangguan Bowe approaching.

Following behind Shangguan Bowe was the Big Man, who threw a spatial ring over, and a pile of food emerged. Logan showed a faint smile, knowing that these two had come to seek refuge with him. However, they were indeed smart, choosing him out of the tens of thousands of people.

As soon as he sat down, Shangguan Bowe said, “Brother Logan is truly extraordinary. He asked me for 10,000 Spirit Stones early in the morning, and it turns out that he was setting up the array early. The others didn’t prepare until now, which makes me admire him all the more. We came over to cooperate with you.”

“I’ve already said this morning that by lending me 10,000 Spirit Stones, I will ensure your safety. You two can stay in the defensive array and be safe and sound after three days.”

Logan was full of confidence and didn’t hide it, “To be honest, even if a Dominator comes, my defensive array won’t be afraid. Even if I have to hold on for a year, it’ll be a breeze.”

“I believe it, of course.” Shangguan Bowe nodded and continued, “Don’t even mention lending these 10,000 Spirit Stones, just consider them as my gift. Staying here in the next two days, I’ll consider it the price of staying in the array.”

On the side, the Big Man was dumbfounded and immediately spoke up, “Young Master, lending Logan the 10,000 Spirit Stones in the morning was already a big risk, and now you don’t want him to return it. Isn’t this being too generous? Moreover, Logan’s defensive array may not be safe, as we’re facing millions of Demon Beasts.”

“I’ll settle everything.” Shangguan Bowe’s face turned cold; why did this person always have something to say about each of his decisions? If there were no outsiders, he wouldn’t mind, but he happened to be making a new friend and deciding what to do at the time.

The Big Man was frightened and hurriedly said, “Young Master, I was wrong.” However, he felt wronged in his heart. Before they came, the family head had repeatedly told him to take good care of the young master. He had always been fulfilling his duty, so why did the young master suddenly get angry?

Shangguan Bowe only scolded him briefly and didn’t continue to blame him. He also understood that the Big Man was doing everything for his own good, and he would still need the Big Man’s protection later on. If he let the Big Man harbor grievances, it wouldn’t be good.

“Whether the 10,000 Spirit Stones are worth it or not, you’ll know later.” Logan replied, after all, once the Demon Beasts take their revenge, not many people among the 10,000 would survive. Their arrays would also be extremely fragile, while his would be incredibly robust. After the comparison, the Big Man would understand.

The day passed quickly, and it was dark. In the darkness, the Demon Beasts’ strength was amplified, and the blood in the mountain range made them even more bloodthirsty, vowing to take revenge for their fallen companions.

All the cultivators had already taken shelter in their respective defensive arrays, anxiously waiting. No one knew whether the array could withstand the assault, and they could only pray for the sky to brighten quickly
