Deities: Starting From Goblins

Chapter 751: Chapter 451: Emperor of the Spirit?_1

“I figured the Grand Elder would win. Impressive. It’s just about getting ten thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones. The Demon King has really gone too far, stirring up such trouble over a trifle.”

People were cheering and jumping for joy, contrasting with the scornful words they had uttered just moments earlier. This made the Demon Race General rather speechless, as everyone had just been calling for the Demon King to show no mercy.

But now, just because the Grand Elder won, they immediately sided with the victor, showing not the slightest backbone. I definitely wouldn’t bow my head to them.

No sooner had these words left their mouths than they discovered upon the Grand Elder’s return that he was as stiff as a piece of wood, devoid of any expression, and collapsed to the ground the moment he landed. Someone went to check his breath and found that the Grand Elder’s life force had faded away.

At that moment, the true victor returned, and the Demon King stood in the air, looking down upon all: “From now on, the Monster Beast Clan will no longer have a Grand Elder. I hope everyone takes this as a warning: do not follow in his footsteps and commit wrongdoing, or as the Demon King, I will be unrelenting.”

“Such dominance from the Demon King! The Grand Elder was truly a disgrace to the Monster Beast Clan, utterly despicable. The Demon King is wise and valiant, saving the entire Demon Race.”

Tens of thousands praised, chanting aloud, and in that moment, the Demon King’s prestige was unchallengeable. In the Demon Beast Secret Realm, no one could defy him.

The Demon Race General shook his head at how quickly these people changed faces. Earlier, when they thought the Grand Elder had won, they were all disparaging the Demon King.

The Demon King approached Logan and said solemnly, “I’ve taken care of those who acted against you. That’s my commitment to you as the Demon King.”

“You are a benefactor to the Monster Beast Clan. Such a great favor—how could we possibly repay it? We may not be able to afford it, but should you ever encounter trouble, the Monster Beast Clan will certainly help you.”Nôv(el)B\\jnn

“The Grand Elder had tens of thousands of Top-Grade Spirit Stones. I will keep them for the use of the Monster Beast Clan. However, I will take out a thousand Spirit Stones as a token of gratitude. I hope you won’t find it too little.”

The Demon King accepted tens of thousands of Top-Grade Spirit Stones, then handed over a thousand Spirit Stones to Logan, who showed a hint of joy after receiving them.

These were a thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones. The last time he went to the Immortal Realm, he was thanked with only two hundred Top-Grade Spirit Stones.

Now the amount had increased fivefold. How could Logan not be happy? As for the remaining nine thousand Spirit Stones, Logan never expected the Demon King to give them to him. After all, those were the foundation of the Monster Beast Clan, and it was implausible for them to hand it all over to an outsider upon the Grand Elder’s death.

“Now that everything is settled, I plan to leave,” said Logan, saluting with his hands. “Moreover, three days have passed; I think the Sanctuary Powerhouses of the Human race should have refined the Holy Life Elixir by now. I need to go back and check, then I will head to the Immortal Realm.”

“Great favors are beyond thanks. As the Demon King, I also pledge that our two races will never wage major war again. Even if one day the Spirit Gathering Array is ruined and the Monster Beast Clan has nowhere to reside, we would rather move to the Demon Beast Mountain Range in the outside world and never scheme against the Human race as before.”

Representing the Monster Beast Clan, the Demon King bowed deeply to Logan, an action seen by tens of thousands, yet the Demon King did it without hesitation. He believed it wouldn’t diminish his prestige, but rather show everyone how the Monster Beast Clan should treat its benefactors.

Logan waved his hand and then departed. This encounter had allowed him to see a different side of the Demon King, which was not at all what he had previously conceived. He had initially thought the Demon King was heartless and ruthless, but now he felt the Demon King was loyal, principled and truly valued sentiments.

After leaving the Demon Beast Secret Realm, Logan hurried back to the Western Wasteland. Upon returning to his Barrier Array, over twenty Sanctuary Powerhouses had already regained consciousness. Since they couldn’t leave the barrier, some were meditating to recuperate while others were chatting.

Logan disengaged the Barrier Array and walked over: “How did it go? Did the refinement of the Holy Life Elixir solve your issue with longevity? How much did it add?”

“Thank goodness you’re back safely. A few beings from the Monster Beast Clan came and guarded us the other day, saying that you had gone to the Demon Beast Secret Realm, which worried us immensely,” said Holy Daoist, breathing a sigh of relief. “How was it? Was your trip to the Demon Beast Secret Realm smooth? If there had been trouble, everyone here would now be able to lend you a hand.”

“It went reasonably well, but answer my question first. The details of the Secret Realm are too lengthy to discuss now. I’ll explain everything to you later,” Logan replied with a smile as he motioned for the group to sit down. He could sense the burgeoning power within them—clearly, the Holy Life Elixir had been effective.

“After refining the Holy Life Elixir, nearly every one of us has gained a hundred years of longevity. It’s not much, but each of us is satisfied. With a hundred years, there’s a glimmer of hope for everyone to reach the Saint Emperor Realm. Furthermore, reaching the eighth level of Sanctuary can increase lifespan by a thousand years,” said Holy Daoist, nodding in acknowledgment. The Holy Life Elixir had indeed played a vital role; it was all worth the journey to the Immortal Realm with Logan.

The others also chimed in, “In any case, we owe it all to you, not only for the added longevity but also for advancing our realms.”

“Now that I’m reassured, let me tell you what happened in the Demon Beast Secret Realm. About three days into your refining process, people from the Monster Beast Clan intended to slay you. It was a critical moment, but thankfully the Blackwood City Master from the Immortal Realm performed a great turnaround,” Logan began.

“Afterward, I took it upon myself to visit the Secret Realm. It turns out, the Demon Race had targeted us because their own Secret Realm had problems and it wouldn’t last another three to five years. But now all the issues with the Monster Beast Clan have been resolved.”
