Deities: Starting From Goblins
Chapter 1280 - Chapter 1280 Chapter 704 Bodhi

Chapter 1280: Chapter 704 Bodhi Chapter 1280: Chapter 704 Bodhi “Just out of curiosity, could you possibly enlighten us by telling us if there is any other way to enhance our bloodline and advance our strength further, besides this method?”

Logan’s gaze swept over everyone’s faces, finally settling on Carl. His eyes seemed to penetrate the heart, “Enhancing a bloodline is not an overnight task. The first thing to do is to cultivate your temperament and hone your will. Furthermore, you need to find a cultivation method that suits you and not blindly follow trends. As for the method you mentioned of using the human race to enhance spiritual energy, it is indeed feasible, but excessively cruel and with limited effectiveness. A true Strong One should rely on their own efforts, and not on the sacrifice of others.”

Having said this, Logan stood up and walked over to the human captives. With a gentle wave of his hand, a soft glow wrapped around them instantly, releasing them from their bonds. “Go, return to your world, and do not fall into others’ hands again.” His tone was mild but carried an undeniable force.

The attendants witnessed all this, deeply shocked; they had never seen such a compassionate side of Logan. Irene’s eyes reddened slightly as she whispered, “My Lord, we understand now. True strength begins from within.”

Logan nodded, turned back towards the Throne, and his voice rang out again, full of uplifting power, “Remember, every person’s destiny lies in their own hands. Only by bettering yourself can you command all things. From now on, we shall tread a path of integrity and openness.”

As Logan’s speech concluded, the entire Underground Palace seemed enveloped by a warm glow, filling the attendants’ hearts with unprecedented hope and determination. And those human captives slowly withdrew from this mysterious place amidst bewilderment and gratitude, perhaps never to forget that on that dark night, a Master released them with his wisdom and compassion.

Deep within the grand and gloomy City Lord’s Mansion, Logan stood before a Throne sculpted from Obsidian. His silhouette was elongated by the surrounding flickering candlelight, giving him an air of mystery and majesty. His eyes, as profound as the night sky, had just been gazing into the distance as if contemplating some significant decision. But now, he averted that profound gaze, fixing it instead on several Demon Clan Servants before him.

“I have matters to attend to and must leave now,” said Logan, his words laced with undeniable finality as he prepared to turn away. But at that moment, as though recalling something, he paused, then added, “Oh right, first show me where those humans are!”

—————-

This statement left the attendants who were about to withdraw momentarily stunned; they exchanged looks, surprise flashing in their eyes. Clearly, they did not expect Logan to be so interested in the human race. But they quickly recovered, nodding in agreement, and led Logan toward a hidden corner of the City Lord’s Mansion.

As they delved deeper, the surroundings grew darker, the air filled with a faint scent of decay. Finally, they arrived at a room sealed by heavy iron doors. The attendants respectfully pushed open the doors, revealing the sight inside–several pale-faced, vacant-eyed Human Soul Bodies floated mid-air, their bodies seemingly bound by invisible chains, unable to move.

Logan was taken aback at this sight. He had thought those humans were merely confined here but had not anticipated they would exist in the form of Soul Bodies. This meant that their souls had been stripped from their bodies by some force and brought here. Logan’s brow furrowed tightly, his heart filling with an inexplicable anger and sorrow.

“What is going on here?” Logan’s voice was deep and stern as he turned to look at the following City Lord with a questioning gaze.

On seeing this, the City Lord couldn’t help but grin, his smile full of smug cunning, “My Lord, this is exactly what we need.” He pointed to the Soul Bodies, “These human souls contain rich Spiritual Power and wisdom. If we can master the methods of extraction and conversion, we can greatly enhance our own strength.”

Hearing the City Lord’s words, Logan’s anger intensified. He had not expected the Demon Race to treat the human race so cruelly, merely to enhance their own power. He took a deep breath, trying hard to suppress the rage within, then looked coldly at the City Lord.

“Such practices are excessively cruel. Even though our Demon Race is opposed to the human race, we should not trample on their lives and dignity like this.” Logan spoke firmly and confidently, his words echoing a respect for life and a commitment to justice.

The City Lord’s smile gradually faded as he regarded Logan, his eyes revealing a complex emotion. He knew Logan’s words were few, but they were resounding and indisputable. He fell silent for a moment before slowly speaking.

“My Lord, I understand your point of view. But in this world where the strong prey upon the weak, our Demon Race must utilize every possible means to strengthen ourselves, to protect our people and territories. However, since you oppose it so, we shall seek an alternative.”

Listening to the City Lord’s words, the anger in Logan’s heart subsided somewhat. He knew changing the thoughts and practices of these demons would not happen overnight. But he believed that, by adhering to justice and kindness, he would eventually be able to influence them to take the right path. Thus, he nodded, signaling the City Lord to lead him away from this heart-wrenching place.
