Gods: Start with Goblins

The mysterious man smiled and said:

“The method of entering the small world is not set in stone.

It requires specific timing, specific conditions, and sufficient strength and wisdom.

I can tell you some clues, but the real path still needs you to explore it yourself."

After saying that, he pointed his finger, and a beam of light shot out from his fingertips and landed on the ground in the center of the temple.

After the light faded, an ancient rune pattern appeared.

“It’s one of the keys to the little world.”

The mysterious man explained, "But this alone is not enough to open the door to the small world. You need to find other keys and a way to unlock the seal on the door."

Luo Dan and the others looked at each other and saw the determination in each other's eyes. They knew that this would be a journey full of unknowns and dangers, but as long as they succeeded, they would get unimaginable rewards.

So, after thanking the mysterious man, they set out on a journey to find the emperor's inheritance. In the following days, they experienced countless challenges and difficulties, but each time they successfully overcame them with mutual trust and cooperation.

They traveled through every corner of the spirit world, searching for clues to the small world. They fought with all kinds of strange creatures, and battled wits and courage with cunning enemies. They continued to learn, grow, and gradually become stronger.

Finally, after countless failures, they found all the keys and unlocked the seal on the door. The moment they stepped into that small world, a powerful force surged into their bodies, making them feel an unprecedented shock.

They knew that this was just the beginning. The real challenge was still waiting for them. But they were ready and determined to find their own great emperor heritage in this small world full of unknowns and miracles.

"Young man, I advise you to give up." An old woman who looked over fifty years old, with a look of wisdom and vicissitudes in her eyes, said softly to Luo Dan, "Who among those who came here didn't dream of entering the spirit world? However, the spirit world is extremely dangerous, and not everyone can enter casually. There are many dangers inside, and if you don't have enough strength and preparation, you might even lose your life there!"

Her words were calm and objective, as if she was stating a simple fact. Luo Dan couldn't help but feel a ripple in his heart after hearing this. Could it be that the matter was really that serious?
"No way, can things be so complicated?" Luo Dan couldn't help asking, his eyes flickering with disbelief and doubt, "Even if there are many dangers in there, why are people still rushing to get in?"

Hearing this, the old woman shook her head and sighed, "Young man, you always think things are too simple. Every year, there are many people who are not afraid of death. With their vision and desire for the spirit world, they resolutely embark on the road of no return. But, do you know? Most of them never come back. No one knows what happened to them, whether they lived or died, succeeded or failed."

Having said this, the old woman's eyes became a little dim, as if she was recalling those brave but unfortunate explorers.

Luo Dan couldn't help but feel an inexplicable fear and uneasiness in his heart after hearing this. He looked around and found that the people around him were busy preparing, some were organizing their equipment, some were exchanging information, and they all seemed to be making final preparations for entering the spirit world.

"Then, why didn't the city lord stop them?" Luodan asked curiously.

The old woman smiled bitterly and said, "The city lord? What can he do? Who of the people here didn't come here voluntarily? Moreover, I heard that there are two powerful forces that are planning to force their way into the spirit world. The city lord is now in a state of panic, thinking about how to deal with them!"

Luo Dan's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had seen a new clue. It turned out that there was such a complicated situation and dispute hidden behind this. He couldn't help but ask: "What are the origins of these two forces? Why did they force their way into the spirit world?"

The old woman shook her head, indicating that she was not sure. "I don't know about that. However, I heard that they are all looking for something precious, and this thing is said to be deep in the spirit world."

Luo Dan couldn't help but feel a strong curiosity and desire when he heard this. He thought, if he could successfully enter the spirit world and find such a precious thing, wouldn't he be able to become the focus of everyone's attention?

However, he soon calmed down. He knew that things were far from as simple as he had imagined. The danger and unknown of the spirit world, as well as the existence of the two powerful forces, forced him to re-examine his plans and decisions.

At this moment, a young man in gorgeous clothes came over, his eyes flashing with arrogance and disdain. "Humph, you cowards are just afraid to act like this. Although the spirit world is dangerous, as long as you have enough strength and wisdom, how can you stop us?"

Luo Dan looked at him and couldn't help but feel disgusted. He knew that this person must be the kind of guy who thinks highly of himself and looks down on others. However, he also understood that everyone has their own choices and pursuits, and he has no right to judge whether others are right or wrong.

So, he responded calmly: "Everyone has his own choice and path. You can choose to move forward bravely, but I can also choose to act cautiously. After all, life is only once, and I don't want to waste it easily in the unknown and danger."

The young man sneered and turned away. Luo Dan looked at his back and couldn't help but feel an inexplicable worry in his heart. He knew that this young man might pay a heavy price for his arrogance and impulsiveness.

However, he also understood that he could not change other people's thoughts and choices. He could only silently wish the young man a safe return.

Afterwards, Luo Dan asked the old woman for some information and clues about the spirit world. Although the old woman didn't know much, she still tried her best to provide him with some useful information. Luo Dan couldn't help but feel grateful after hearing this.

He knew that the road ahead was still long and difficult. But he also believed that as long as he had enough courage and wisdom, he would be able to overcome all difficulties and challenges, successfully enter the spirit world, and find his own precious treasure. "If I help the city lord solve the problem, will there be any reward?" Luo Dan asked the vendor in front of him directly, with a little expectation and desire in his eyes. Upon hearing this, the vendor looked Luo Dan up and down. It was not that he did not believe in Luo Dan's strength, but Luo Dan's appearance was really hard to convince. He looked thin and weak, as if he could be blown down by a gust of wind. How could he help the city lord solve those difficult problems?

"Young man, are you kidding me?" The vendor couldn't help laughing, his tone teasing. "Look at you, you're not even as strong as those of us who travel all the time. I advise you to forget it. The city lord has a bad temper. If you dare to lie to him, you might get kicked out!"

Pei Sheng stood beside Luo Dan and instantly became interested when he heard the conversation between the two. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Luo Dan as if he was looking at an interesting toy.

"You don't want to go in, do you?" Pei Sheng asked in surprise, "I advise you not to have so many evil thoughts. It's obvious that these people are not so easy to be deceived. If you lie to them, they can really teach you a lesson!"

Luo Dan rolled his eyes after hearing Pei Sheng's words and pushed him aside. "Can you please stop making trouble here? I didn't say I was going to lie to them. I was just asking."

Pei Sheng did not give up and continued to pester Luo Dan. "Hey, tell me, what do you think? Do you really want to help the city lord solve the problem? You know, that's not a joke, you have to show your real ability."

Luo Dan sighed helplessly. He knew Pei Sheng just loved to join in the fun, but he was too lazy to explain too much. "I'm just asking casually. I don't think much of anything. But can you please stop getting in the way here?"

The vendor couldn't help laughing as he watched the two interact. "Alright, stop arguing here. Young man, I'll tell you the truth. If you can really help the city lord solve the problem, you will definitely get a reward. However, that also depends on whether you have the ability to do it."

Luo Dan was moved after hearing what the vendor said. He knew that this was a rare opportunity. If he could successfully help the city lord solve the problem, he would not only receive a generous reward, but also improve his reputation and status.

"Then, can you tell me more about the problems the city lord is facing?" Luodan asked seriously.

The vendor looked at Luo Dan, then at the crowd around him, and seemed a little hesitant. However, he decided to give Luo Dan a chance. "Okay, I'll tell you something. The city lord has been in some trouble recently. A group of unidentified people want to force their way into the spirit world. They are very powerful, and the city lord is worried about how to deal with them."

Luo Dan couldn't help but feel a surge of blood in his heart after hearing this. He knew that this was a challenge and also an opportunity. If he could successfully help the city lord solve this problem, his reputation and status would definitely be greatly improved.

"Then, can you tell me more about this group of people?" Luodan asked.

The vendor shook his head, indicating that he didn't know much either. "I only know that they are very powerful, and I don't know the specific situation. However, if you really want to help the city lord solve the problem, you can go to the city lord's mansion to talk to him."

Luo Dan nodded to express his gratitude. He knew what to do next. He would go to the city lord to learn more about this group of people, and then find a way to help the city lord solve this problem.

Pei Sheng looked at Luo Dan's determined eyes and couldn't help but admire him. He knew that although Luo Dan looked thin and weak, he had a spirit of not admitting defeat in his bones. He believed that Luo Dan would be able to successfully help the city lord solve the problem and get a generous reward.

So, he patted Luo Dan on the shoulder and said, "Good brother, I believe you will succeed. If you need any help, just tell me, I will definitely support you with all my strength!"

Luo Dan felt a warm current in his heart after hearing Pei Sheng's words. He knew that he was not alone, and with a friend like Pei Sheng supporting him, he became more determined.

Afterwards, Luo Dan said goodbye to the vendor and Pei Sheng and set out on the road to the City Lord's Mansion. He knew that this would be a journey full of challenges and opportunities, but he was ready to meet everything that was coming.

"What do you know? I've already told you that this matter may be resolved, but the rest of the situation is not certain!" Luo Dan's tone was a little impatient, and he was obviously surprised by the doubts of the people around him. He widened his eyes, as if he wanted to pour out all his dissatisfaction, "Do you think I'm busying myself for nothing? I have my own plans and plans."

"And I'm going to find the city lord to see if I can make a deal with him and get first-hand information. At least I'm better off being like a headless fly here!" Luo Dan's words revealed his determination and resolve. He had already thought of a bold plan. He knew that two major forces were looking for the city lord to settle accounts. Isn't this a perfect excuse? He could pretend to be an envoy of a major force to get close to the city lord and get more information.

The people around him looked puzzled after hearing what Luo Dan said, but then they turned to admiration. They knew that Luo Dan had always acted decisively and dared to take risks, and he would definitely succeed this time.

Luo Dan said nothing more, turned around and walked towards the City Lord's Mansion. The people from other sects saw Luo Dan turning back, and their faces showed confusion. They originally thought that Luo Dan had given up, but they didn't expect him to turn back again.

"Luodan, what are you doing?" one of them couldn't help but ask.

Luo Dan stopped, looked back at them, and explained, "I plan to talk to the city lord today to see if I can get some useful information. It's getting late, why don't we find an inn to stay in and wait until tomorrow to find the city lord. It's always inconvenient to move around at night, I believe everyone knows that."

After hearing Luo Dan's words, everyone nodded in agreement. They knew that Luo Dan had always acted cautiously, and this choice must have been made for everyone's safety.

So, the group followed Luo Dan to a nearby inn. Although the inn was simple, it was clean and tidy. They each found a room to stay in and prepared to go to the city lord the next day.

As night fell, the inn gradually became quiet. Luo Dan, however, lay in bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. The conversation and plan of the day kept echoing in his mind, and he was both expectant and worried. He knew that this operation was full of unknowns and dangers, but he also believed that as long as he had enough courage and wisdom, he would succeed. (End of this chapter)
