Deities: Starting From Goblins-Chapter 817 - 484: The Emperor

Chapter 817: Chapter 484: The Emperor

Before the semifinals, there was an hour to prepare, and the thirty contestants, looking for every possible advantage, were all earnestly searching for resources. The elders leading the delegation from the Great Sects were even willing to give it their all.

Logan approached the City Lord directly and said, “I need a hundred million Spirit Stones, a very large amount. Could the City Lord lend them to me first?”

“That many?” Hearing the number, the City Lord was also taken aback because even for all of Heavenly Moon City, the annual income was only about a dozen or so billion Top-Grade Spirit Stones, and even less so for his own share. Logan asking for a hundred million all at once was indeed a difficult request.

But on second thought, Logan was after all a Grandmaster Formation Master, and having raised this request himself, it would be inappropriate for the City Lord to refuse. A hundred million Spirit Stones, although troublesome, were not something he couldn’t come up with. After all, why should he let harmony be affected by Spirit Stones?

With Logan’s abilities and prestige as an Array Master, there was no need to worry about him being unable to repay. With just a word, countless Great Sect powers would be willing to bring Spirit Stones to him. Moreover, as one of the few Saint Emperor Powerhouses in the Southern Desolation, he absolutely could not let others look down upon him, so he had to oblige.

Seeing the City Lord lost in thought, Logan continued, “I truly need them, and I need them now. Of course, if it’s too much trouble, I can go ask someone else.”

He knew indeed that a hundred million Spirit Stones were an enormous amount. Even in the Outer Domain, Top-Grade Spirit Stones didn’t just appear out of thin air. So if the City Lord couldn’t come up with them, Logan wouldn’t blame him; at worst, he would just not take first place in the martial arts tournament and lose the Saint Emperor Legacy.

“It’s no trouble. I’ll need half an hour to get a hundred million Spirit Stones ready, and since there’s still an hour before the semifinals, we have plenty of time,” the City Lord said indifferently. “Though I don’t know what you need the Spirit Stones for, I presume they’re for the competition. Your strength has already been proven in the preliminaries and the quarterfinals. I’m quite curious to see if you can take first place. If you could defeat all the younger generation in the strongest manner, it would truly be astonishing.”

After all, not only was Logan a Grandmaster Formation Master, but his personal strength was immensely terrifying. Once he grew up, there would probably be few in the Outer Domain who could be his match. There were many Heavenly Prides among the younger generation in the Outer Domain, but none quite like Logan. Most of them only specialized in one discipline.

Logan nodded, and to be on the safe side, he also sought out Snow Wood, “Can I borrow some Spirit Stones? Has your Sect Elder returned? I’m in urgent need of Spirit Stones. However many you have, I’ll borrow them all, and rest assured, I will definitely repay you. With my status as a Grandmaster Formation Master, I surely won’t fail to repay.”

“I don’t have many Top-Grade Spirit Stones on me, just a few hundred thousand left, but seeing how urgent you are, that little bit won’t help much. Our Sect Elder has returned, but he had to leave for something just now. I will use my Divine Skill to call him back; he should have brought a lot of Spirit Stones.”

“Last time, you saved my life. Our Sect planned to thank you with thirty million Top-Grade Spirit Stones. Initially, I tried to get fifty million, but there’s been a slight mishap in the Sect recently, so we’re not that flush with Spirit Stones. In the future, we’ll certainly give you more compensation.”

Looking at the anxious Logan, Snow Wood said, “The Elder should have prepared a bit extra, another ten or twenty million. Together, it should amount to about fifty million Spirit Stones. Will that be enough?”

“It will do.” Logan nodded. If Snow Wood could get fifty million Spirit Stones, he would be stable for the semifinals. As for the finals, which were still a day away, if he couldn’t get the hundred million from the City Lord, he would still have time to remedy the situation, so he wasn’t too anxious.

Logan had already estimated that among the remaining thirty contestants, all were at the Saint Seat Eighth Level. Of course, many had concealed their true power, and even if they were at the Saint Seat Ninth Level, coupled with some inherited resources and hidden Divine Skills from their Sects, they could somewhat rival a Half-step Saint Emperor.

But because of the gap in realms, reaching this stage was already their limit. As long as his strength could reach the Quasi-Saint Emperor level, no one could challenge his first place status in the competition. In the semifinals, he didn’t need to be overly powerful; the Saint Seat Ninth Level would suffice.

After all, not everyone among these thirty came from a Great Sect with numerous Divine Skills and rich resources to their name—most were but smaller Sects. Even if these Sects wanted to take first place, they found themselves in a very awkward position, unable to bring out Divine Artifacts like Emperor Weapons.

Half an hour later, the City Lord brought over a Space Storage Bag, “There are a total of a hundred million Spirit Stones inside. If it’s not enough, I can gather more. In any event, I can still help you with Spirit Stones, so no matter how much you need, it should be possible to collect.”

“Thank you.” Logan bowed his hands and then said, “Regardless, I owe you a Favor, and should any trouble arise in Heavenly Moon City, no matter what my strength is, I will certainly help.”

The City Lord’s face brightened at this news. Being able to earn the promise of a Grandmaster Formation Master was a much bigger gain compared to a hundred million Spirit Stones, which he could easily earn back. But to build a relationship with a Grandmaster Formation Master—how many in the entire Outer Domain could claim that?

Latter, Snow Wood’s Sect Elder came back, “A total of forty million Spirit Stones. Snow Wood mentioned wanting to make it fifty million, but I don’t carry that many. Of course, if you urgently need it, I can contact the Sect immediately, and using some spatial transmission arrays, they can be sent over within an hour.”
