Deities: Starting From Goblins

Seeing everyone full of expectation, Logan casually said, “This matter concerns the Western Wilderness Forces, so why must I get involved? In any case, I’m not going to fight the Demonic Sky Gate for you. If you all are too afraid to do it yourselves, constantly hoping for an outsider to step in, why should I?”

If these people were united in their hatred for the enemy and disregarded their own lives in a fight to protect the peace of the Western Wilderness, Logan wouldn’t stand idly by. However, he saw that these minor sect leaders were nothing but sycophants, without the heart for such an endeavor. If Dashiell Skyward had not been killed by his hand, would they not have already joined the Demonic Sky Gate instead of discussing this matter?

“Because you are strong, you naturally have responsibilities. Are you really going to watch innocent lives be destroyed without feeling even a hint of guilt? The Demonic Sky Gate belongs to the Demonic Path School, and everyone has a responsibility to combat the Demon Path. How can you claim to be just a passerby?”

Some Sect Leaders continued, in any case, if Logan didn’t participate in the battle, their chances of victory were too slim. They didn’t understand why Logan was unwilling to help. As such a powerful individual, shouldn’t he contribute to the fight against the Demon Sect? This is a cultivator’s principle.

The three Lords remained silent. Indeed, the words of these Sect Leaders were excessive. Although they also wanted Logan to summon the Sanctuary Powerhouse to help, they did not know how to ask appropriately. After all, asking a Sanctuary Powerhouse to take action usually required a significant sacrifice.

Logan just laughed, full of sarcasm, as he pointed at those Sect Leaders, “How noble of you. Then why don’t you fight against the Demonic Sky Gate? Since everyone has a responsibility to oppose the Demon Path, just take the lead, and I will undoubtedly follow.”

“I am weak, and my sect’s power is not strong,” a leader of a small sect said, making a justified expression.

A few other Sect Leaders nodded in agreement, “If we were as powerful as you, even if we died in battle against the Demonic Sky Gate, wouldn’t we feel honored? And we wouldn’t be quibbling with the leaders of minor sects like you are.”

“I think you make a good point. I do have a way of dealing with the Demonic Sky Gate. Don’t forget, I’m an Array Master. I can create an array to deal with them. I can’t say it will destroy the Demonic Sky Gate, but it could at least injure a few thousand people, provided someone is willing to sacrifice themselves voluntarily as the Array Spirit.”

Logan glanced at these Sect Leaders and coughed, “You just spoke so righteously, yet why not one of you make that sacrifice? Think about it. If the Demonic Sky Gate is repelled, you’ll be the heroes, thanked by tens of thousands.”

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent, even unconsciously taking a few steps back. Why should they be the ones to sacrifice, why not someone else? Besides, they were only leaders of small sects. They should be under protection, ideally from someone like Logan.

No one wanted to sacrifice in vain. In the worst-case scenario, they could just flee. If they had to, giving up their own sects was an option too. As Sect Leaders, their cultivation realms were not low, and the world was vast enough for them to roam freely. They had no desire to be great saints.

Logan laughed disdainfully, spreading his hands with a touch of mockery, “All you do is order others around. Why are you all suddenly mute when it’s your turn? Always using low cultivation as an excuse, but my array doesn’t require a high realm, are you still too afraid to try?”

Bart Cloud deeply agreed. Initially, he possessed a merciful heart, but now he felt that these people were just bound by morality. He and Logan were mere passersby; helping them was already an act of supreme benevolence. Why should they be expected to confront the Demonic Sky Gate head-on?

“Don’t be angry with these minor sects. They are used to being selfish.” Seeing the atmosphere so tense and confrontational, Cain Scarlet stepped forward to mediate.

Following him, Samuel Westman spoke up, “This is our own Western Wilderness matter. We shouldn’t compel Logan to get involved. At this time, we shouldn’t expect a Powerhouse to solve everything. Instead, we should stand together and resist the Demonic Sky Gate.”

If they kept hoping for a Sanctuary Powerhouse to help, they would remain in darkness forever. They needed to realize that even though they were very weak, if tens of thousands of them united against their enemy, they might well defeat the Demonic Sky Gate. They had to show all the Powerhouses the resolve and courage of the Western Wilderness Forces.

Only by demonstrating their valor and determination could they gather more support and inspire the reclusive Powerhouses to see their fervor and ignite the fire in their hearts. Otherwise, if they themselves did not dare to fight the Demonic Sky Gate, even if there were Powerhouses willing to help, they might lose heart, wouldn’t they?

Sandy Wexler deeply agreed, just like when Logan helped the Wexler Clan. Was it not because he saw them fighting with their lives and the City-protecting Array? This was why he was willing to create a Spirit Gathering Array, utilizing the strength of tens of millions in the city to ultimately save everything.

Some minor sect leaders disagreed, feeling it was absurd, “Each of you speaks so easily, but have you ever witnessed how terrifying a Sanctuary Powerhouse can be? A flick of their wrist can bring about destruction. You Lords have already reached the Quasi-Saint realm; even if you can’t defeat them, you can still escape. But think about us minor sects?”
