Deities: Starting From Goblins

Actually, after the several lords had left, they had initially thought that gathering spirit stones would be very difficult. However, as soon as they descended into the cities, families and the like offered their support, and in no time at all, they had gathered several tens of millions of spirit stones in less than half a stick of incense’s time.

That is to say, aside from the spirit stones given to Logan, each lord still had over ten million in their possession. They did not tell Logan about this because they wanted to reserve this batch of spirit stones for unexpected needs. What if Logan’s array ran short of spirit stones and needed more?

The three pondered over why those families within the city, usually so miserly, were all of a sudden so generous. They realized that their fates had long since been tied to those of the city and the lords; if the lords were defeated and the Demonic Sky Gate occupied everything, they too would be annihilated.

With the three great lords serving as guards, Logan could arrange the array with peace of mind. He planned to first fully solidify the barrier array, so that on his end, he would also have the power to defend himself. If the people from the Demonic Sky Gate attempted a sneak attack, at least they would not be able to break through.

Logan used ten million spirit stones for the barrier array, and these spirit stones quickly formed a barrier shining with golden light that enveloped tens of thousands of li in the sky. Witnessing this scene, the lords couldn’t help but admire it immensely.

Even Sandy Wexler, who had seen Logan’s Spirit Gathering Array, only realized how ridiculous his previous claim that the Spirit Gathering Array was Logan’s greatest reliance was when he saw the barrier screens. Compared to the barrier screens, what was the Spirit Gathering Array? Just as Logan had said, it was nothing but a basic array.

However, this was only the beginning. Logan sketched runes with both hands, connecting all the golden light in the barrier. Various dazzling runes appeared within the screens, as though countless ancient divine beasts were spiraling around.

In the next moment, a terrifying aura emanated outward. Being within the barrier felt like being in a small world, where the rules and spiritual power were completely different. The three lords were so astonished that they felt as though their own realms were on the verge of breaking through. This barrier was truly magical.

Once everything was successfully completed, Logan took a deep breath, “The barrier screens have been outlined. Now we don’t have to worry about the Demonic Sky Gate suddenly attacking. Of course, the barrier screens can only trap the Demonic Sky Gate and the Sacred Thrones; to deal with them, we will need an attack array.”

“I need some time to meditate and think, to set up the Array Spirit for the attack array. During this period, make sure no one disturbs me, even if the Demonic Sky Gate were to attack. In short, it all depends on you three lords; if you err, it will all be for naught.”

The pressure of the barrier array was unparalleled; even though the lords had reached the realm of Quasi-Saint Seats, they still felt a trace of fear in front of the barrier screens. Was this the power of the ten million spirit stones used to construct the screens? Finally, they truly believed that it could indeed withstand and trap a Sacred Throne.

Logan smiled, waved his hand, and dispersed the barrier array. Naturally, he didn’t wish for the array to be too conspicuous; only at the moment the Demonic Sky Gate launched their attack would Logan allow the barriers to appear again. After all, if the Sacred Thrones of the Demonic Sky Gate dared to come, they were destined to fall into his trap.

The three lords repeatedly assured him, and Logan took a deep breath, sitting cross-legged. He intended to outline an array capable of slaying the Sacred Thrones. The process was incredibly complex; the more complex the array, the more Spirit Points it would have. The simplest, like the Seven Star Formation, had just seven Spirit Points and was very weak.

A powerful array could have hundreds of star points, but even the most top-tier arrays only had a bit more than ten thousand Spirit Points. This was not just the limit of the array’s power, but also the limit of an Array Master’s spiritual power, which might not be sufficient to support the arrangement of the array.

Logan planned to spend forty million spirit stones, setting up four hundred thousand Spirit Points, each of which was equivalent to a Dominator’s existence. Four hundred thousand Spirit Points were enough to compete with those above the Saint Seats, and not even a thousand top-tier Array Masters working together could compare. And now, Logan had to rely on himself alone.

The difficulty was immense; it was the boldest attempt at arranging an array that Logan had ever made. Logan could not guarantee its success, and a single failure would come at a heavy cost. The forty million spirit stones were painstakingly gathered by the lords; they would not give Logan a second chance.

Therefore, Logan had to mentally run through the calculations hundreds of times, ensuring there were no omissions before starting to arrange the attack array. Even with his immense spiritual power, like an ocean, sweat still beaded on his forehead at this moment.

He had only deduced over ten thousand Spirit Points; his brain was already nearing its limit. This was too insignificant compared to the four hundred thousand Spirit Points he needed to set up. After more than a dozen attempts, Logan could, at most, calculate a little over twenty thousand Spirit Points.

So it went on for fifteen minutes, but in the end, all attempts kept failing. From his initial confidence to now feeling defeated, Logan had considered more than once giving up on the attack array and settling for the Spirit Gathering Array like before. But he deeply understood that against the Sacred Thrones, the Spirit Gathering Array would not be effective, for its attacks were too rigid.

This battle was, after all, to vanquish the Sacred Thrones of the Demonic Sky Gate, not just to defend the city. Only in the most desperate and humiliating situations might the Spirit Gathering Array be an option. Since Logan had already entered the chaotic fray of the Western Wasteland, he would not allow himself to fail.
