Deities: Starting From Goblins - Chapter 770

Chapter 770: Chapter 460: Minor Decay Technique_2

“I must be on my way,” Logan said as he was about to leave, suddenly recalling something, “By the way, how many Saint Emperors still exist in the Ancient World now?”

“Why ask about this? There should be none; to my knowledge, the strongest is the Half-step Saint Emperor, which is me. Those from outside the domain might possess this strength,” replied Oliver Bennett after a moment of surprise, wondering why Logan, who should understand this, still asked.

In the current world, where the Immortal Realm is the strongest and he is the strongest in the Immortal Realm.

“Before coming to the Immortal Realm this time, I encountered someone extremely powerful, even more terrifying than your aura. He seemed to be searching for the fallen Powerhouse in the Ancient Secret Realm. I judged he was an enemy, and I suspect that he must be a being from outside our domain. Have they already come to the Ancient World?” Logan said, sighing deeply, knowing that Oliver Bennett, who had lived longer than him, might know something about the events from a few hundred years ago that could resolve his doubts.

“The Ancient Secret Realm?” Oliver Bennett fell silent for a long time before saying, “From the Emperor Weapon you obtained last time, I knew you must have been to the Ancient Secret Realm.”

“There lies the Inheritance of the fallen Saint Emperor, but do you know why the Immortal Realm has never sent anyone? Instead, it’s your Human race’s Holy See that visits every ten years, because taking the opportunity would lead to great karma, which even the Immortal Realm cannot bear, so we do not go,” he continued.

“I’m not well-informed on this. It must be something from over a thousand years ago. A being from outside the domain appeared in our world, causing the Powerhouses to panic. Fortunately, that person did not harbor Malice and established a secret sanctuary in the Extreme Cold Lands, avoiding worldly affairs.”

“When that being arrived in the outside world, he seemed to be gravely injured. Shortly after he went to the Extreme Cold Lands, another group came to kill him, but everything faded into obscurity, and a thousand years passed. Perhaps that Powerhouse had provoked a terrifying enemy and came here with severe injuries,” he explained.

“More than a thousand years ago, the pursuers failed to find him. It could be that because you took the Inheritance and left the Ancient Secret Realm, those from outside our domain noticed and came to continue the pursuit. Since you possess the Emperor Weapon, they naturally found you,” Oliver Bennett cautioned Logan solemnly.

“Now that you are being watched, you’re destined to face death more often than not, and hiding will not help. Either wait for them to return to their own domain or slay them. However, the other party’s cultivation realm is surely higher, and even I may not be an equal match.”

Every being from outside the domain who comes to the Ancient World is at least a Quasi-Saint Emperor, while I am merely a Half-step Saint Emperor.

Having been so warned by Oliver Bennett, Logan felt especially burdened. The Emperor Weapon had become a hot potato, and being targeted by them meant that even if he discarded the weapon now, it would not help. If he managed to deceive them once, what should he do next time?

Unless it was absolutely necessary to leave, how could they return to their domain without finding out the reason for their pursuit? As Oliver Bennett said, where could I possibly hide?

Facing a Saint Emperor, despite having broken through to the Saint Seat Realm, the disparity between us was still vast, and I had no power to fight back.

Logan was plagued with headaches. Not to mention avenging that Powerhouse, his own survival was uncertain. If he had not gone to the Ancient Secret Realm, he wouldn’t have gotten involved in this mess.

For now, he decided to take it one step at a time. Logan couldn’t stay in the Immortal Realm forever, as it would only cause trouble for Oliver Bennett. Ultimately, he chose to leave first.

Logan intended to return to the Western Wasteland. The Book of Legacy with the imprint he held was useless to him. He wanted to consult Holy Daoist’s work to understand what exactly had befallen that Powerhouse in the Ancient Secret Realm a thousand years ago. Only by knowing everything could he be ready to face the challenges ahead.

“This is my talisman for communication; contact me immediately if you encounter any trouble,” Oliver Bennett gave Logan a Rune before he left.

Logan accepted it, but if he truly met that Saint Emperor, he wouldn’t involve Oliver Bennett, knowing well that even he would not be able to defeat the adversary.

After leaving the Immortal Realm, Logan planned to find a secluded place to set up a Teleportation Array, so that if he fell into a life-threatening situation, he could use it to escape at a moment’s notice.

Upon reflection, he deemed the Eastern Sea most suitable. The most dangerous place could be the safest; he had encountered that Saint Emperor there before. Since the adversary had already searched there once, the likelihood of them returning to search again was slim. Besides, within the vast expanse of the Eastern Sea spanning a million miles, they would not find him immediately.

After using a thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones to set up the Teleportation Array, Logan hurriedly rushed back to the Western Wasteland. Now at the Saint Seat Realm, what used to be a three-day journey took him just one day to complete.

At this time in the Western Wasteland, the Holy Daoist and his group were still in the Spirit Gathering Array. They had been cultivating for the past ten days, and their progress had been multiplying.

Seeing Logan return, the Holy Daoist stopped his alchemy work, “How was it? Was your trip to the Immortal Realm smooth? Everything should be resolved by now!”

“It’s resolved,” Logan replied. The Holy Daoist noticed that Logan’s expression was off, as if he had something on his mind. Sensing that something was amiss, he quickly asked what had happened.

“I encountered a suspect Saint Emperor Powerhouse, and moreover, it was an enemy from the Ancient Secret Realm coming for revenge. Both of us having received the inheritance, I fear we might be in trouble.”

With a long sigh, Logan asked, “What about your Book of Legacy? Does it contain any records of that Powerhouse’s tale, and the start and end of it a thousand years ago? It would be good for us to understand.”

“Let me have a look.” The Holy Daoist, realizing the gravity of the situation, hurriedly took out the Book of Legacy. As for the matter regarding that Powerhouse, he truly hadn’t had the time to look into it.

Logan took the Book of Legacy and, after some searching, saw it on the last page, where a consciousness emerged and transformed into the likeness of the Powerhouse.

“Have you turned to this page because you wish to know my story? The matters of a thousand years ago, if you can avenge me, will allow me to rest in peace. But if you lack the strength, it would be best to forget them!”

The consciousness, with piercing eyes, spoke, “I am a person from beyond this domain. In those years, I incurred the wrath of someone, and thus was hunted down, leading me to your Ancient World. My enemy is a Powerhouse above the Saint Emperors, from the Sky Demon Sect, which is also the foremost Demonic Forces from beyond the domain.”

“The Sky Demon Sect?” Upon hearing this name, Logan was shocked, because the one sealed in the Immortal Realm seemed to also be from the Sky Demon Sect.

“Having obtained my inheritance, those from beyond the domain will surely take notice. If you wish to live in peace, the best course of action would be to hide yourselves beyond the domain. I spent nearly a hundred years setting up a Teleportation Array in the Ancient Secret Realm. However, since I couldn’t recover from my injuries, I never used it.”

“If you find yourselves with no other choice, use that Teleportation Array to go beyond the domain. Beyond the domain is a vast world, filled with countless opportunities and Powerhouses. There, you will be able to cultivate rapidly, but danger also lies around every corner. A slight misstep could result in your demise.”

“However, since you have opened this page, it is either out of curiosity, or more likely, perhaps the people from the Sky Demon Sect have indeed arrived. In any case, I hope you find safety.”

The consciousness gradually dissipated, and in its final moment, it revealed its name, “I am Thaddeus Sterling, a person from beyond the domain, and in this life, I fell in battle against the Demon race.”

“What do we do now?” After learning everything, the Holy Daoist was full of sighs, but also felt as if his life hung by a thread, where he could perish at any moment.

“We can’t stay here any longer, we must go beyond the domain,” Logan said firmly, knowing that if he were to encounter that Saint Emperor again, his fate would be uncertain, so it would be better to escape sooner rather than later.

Also, Logan had reached the Saint Seat Realm, and staying on would not enhance his cultivation any further. Only by venturing beyond the domain could he gain more cultivation experience.

The Holy Daoist was unwilling to leave; he still had the sacred duty of protecting the Saint Sky Sect. What would happen to the sect in case of revenge if he were to leave?

He handed the Book of Legacy to Logan, “For me, this opportunity was not meant to be possessed. It is now better entrusted to you, who have more of a future ahead.”

“This…” Logan was momentarily stunned. Did that mean both inheritances from the Ancient Secret Realm had completely fallen into his hands?

In the end, Logan accepted it, leaving the copied imprint for the Holy Daoist. Having this book would be beneficial to his cultivation.

“Beyond the domain lies a vast world, and I hope one day you can avenge the Powerhouse of the Ancient Secret Realm. As for me, I will always protect the Ancient World of the human race,” the Holy Daoist said solemnly.

Logan nodded his head, then set off for the Extreme Cold Lands, where he would use the Teleportation Array there to travel beyond the domain.
