Gods: Start with Goblins

"That's great!" Another member of the demon clan couldn't help but cheer. "If we can really pass through the time and space plank road, then the future of the demon clan will be promising! We have always wanted to revive, to transcend time and space, and to become the most powerful race on this continent. Luodan, if you can succeed, you will definitely lead us to great success!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole secret room was in an uproar. The demon clan members were talking about it, their faces full of excitement and expectation. They knew that Luo Dan was the most promising young warrior in their demon clan. If he could successfully pass the time and space plank road, then the future of the demon clan would be really promising.

"Luo Dan, you must be careful." The city lord also spoke. Although his voice was calm, it contained great concern. "The time and space plank road is full of unknowns and dangers. You must protect yourself. Also, you must remember that you are not only doing this for yourself, but also for the entire demon race. Your success will be related to the future of our demon race."

Hearing this, Luo Dan felt a warm current in his heart. He knew that he was not alone. In this world full of unknowns and dangers, there were still a group of people silently supporting him. He nodded, and then stood up resolutely.

"Don't worry, City Lord, I will be careful." Luo Dan's voice was firm and powerful. "I will do this not only for myself, but also for the entire demon race. I will definitely successfully pass the time and space plank road and lead everyone to a better future!"

After saying this, Luo Dan turned and left the secret room, embarking on the road that led to the unknown and danger. His figure gradually disappeared in the deep and mysterious corridor, but his words were like seeds, deeply planted in the hearts of every member of the demon clan. They knew that the future of the demon clan depended on Luo Dan. And Luo Dan would live up to everyone's expectations and lead them to a more glorious tomorrow.

In the spacious hall of the Demon Clan's castle, sunlight poured in through the tall windows, dispelling the darkness in the room and leaving patches of warm light. Luo Dan stood in the center of the hall, his figure standing tall in the interweaving of light and shadow. Several core members of the Demon Clan gathered around him, their faces full of excitement and anticipation, and the good news Luo Dan just announced made them excited.

"Great! Sir, is there anything you need us to do? We can help you!" A demon clan member spoke impatiently, his voice full of eagerness and desire. Others also echoed, they were willing to go through fire and water for Luo Dan, without hesitation.

However, Luo Dan shook his head slightly, and a deep look flashed in his eyes. "I plan to stay in seclusion for a while. During this time, do not let the human race approach the City Lord's Mansion. No one is allowed to disturb me without my permission!" His voice was calm and firm, and every word seemed to carry an irresistible force.

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall froze instantly. The demon clan members looked at each other in bewilderment. Seeing Luo Dan's serious look, it was impossible for them not to feel confused. Retreat? At this critical moment? They were filled with doubts and puzzlement.

Then, a member of the demon clan mustered up his courage and stepped forward, his eyes full of concern. "Sir, why are you in seclusion when you are fine? Are you injured?" There was a tremor in his voice, and it was obvious that he was deeply worried about Luo Dan's safety.

Luo Dan smiled slightly, his eyes revealing a trace of comfort. "Don't worry, I'm not injured. I'm in seclusion to improve myself and to be more confident in future challenges." His words were calm and powerful, as if to comfort everyone.

"But, sir..." Another demon clan member couldn't help but speak, his face full of worry, "Although retreat can improve your strength, the current situation is so tense, are you really sure you want to retreat at this time?"

Luo Dan nodded, his eyes gleaming with determination. "I have made up my mind, you don't need to persuade me anymore. During the period of seclusion, all matters will be handled by the city lord. You just need to follow his arrangements and ensure the safety of the city lord's mansion." His voice was full of unquestionable determination.

The demon clan members looked at each other. Although they still had doubts in their hearts, they could not change Luodan's decision. They knew that Luodan was a leader with far-sighted vision and firm will, and every decision he made was for the future of the demon clan.

"Yes, sir!" They responded in unison, their voices full of respect and trust for Luo Dan. Although the decision to retreat made them confused and uneasy, they believed in Luo Dan and believed that he would become stronger after retreat and lead them to a more glorious future.

Luo Dan looked at the demons in front of him, and a warm feeling surged in his heart. He knew that he was not alone, and in this world full of unknowns and dangers, there were still a group of people silently supporting him. He nodded, then turned and walked towards the secret room, and his figure gradually disappeared in the deep and mysterious corridor. The demons stood there, watching Luo Dan leave, their hearts full of expectations and wishes.

In a secret room deep in the Demon Clan's castle, the dim light flickered, illuminating Lordan's slightly pale face. He sat on a chair carved from obsidian, emitting a faint demonic aura, but it was clear that this power was much weaker than before. Several core members of the Demon Clan stood around him, their eyes full of concern and confusion.

"Yes, I escaped from the barrier." Luo Dan spoke slowly, with a hint of fatigue in his voice, "The barrier was full of dangers. Although I escaped by chance, I have not yet recovered my peak strength. So, I was injured and need to recuperate for a while. Do you understand?"

His words made the demons present feel nervous, but then they were relieved. They knew that Lord Luodan had always been cautious, and it was reasonable for him to be in seclusion after being injured. So, they all nodded to show their understanding.

"Understood! My lord, we won't let anyone disturb your rest." A member of the demon clan said respectfully, his eyes full of respect and trust for Luodan.

However, outside the castle at this moment, several representatives of the major sects who were driven out by Luodan gathered together, their faces full of resentment and confusion.

"No, didn't Luodan say that he would take us to the spirit world? Why did he go back on his word, and most importantly, he kicked us out?" A sect representative said angrily, his voice full of dissatisfaction.

"Yeah, what exactly is he up to?" Another sect representative echoed, with a puzzled look in his eyes. "We took the risk to confront those righteous forces for him. Now he treats us like this, it's really disheartening."

"Hmph, maybe he has some difficulties." A sect representative who seemed to be calmer said, "Lord Luodan has always acted mysteriously, but he always leads us out of trouble. This time, maybe he has some special plan."

Although his words tried to calm everyone down, the effect was not obvious. Several sect representatives were still discussing, expressing confusion and anger at Luo Dan's behavior.

Luo Dan in the secret room seemed to be unaware of all this. He closed his eyes and began to concentrate on healing his injuries. He knew that this retreat was crucial for him. Only by fully recovering his strength could he lead the demons to a more glorious future. As time went by, Luo Dan's injuries gradually improved. Although the representatives of several major sects outside the castle still had doubts and dissatisfaction in their hearts, they also began to gradually accept this fact. They understood that no matter what Luo Dan's plan was, they needed to wait patiently and believe that he would give a reasonable explanation.

Finally, on a dark and windy night, Luo Dan walked out of the secret room. His face was glowing again, and his demonic energy became even stronger. He knew that he had recovered his peak strength and it was time to start implementing his plan.

When he walked out of the castle and faced the representatives of the major sects who had been waiting for a long time, he smiled and said slowly: "Everyone, I have kept you waiting for a long time. Now, I can tell you my plan..."

In a spacious meeting room in the Demon Clan Castle, the demon clan members sat in a circle, the atmosphere tense and heated. They rushed to speak, trying to express their opinions and concerns, their voices rising and falling like a surging tide. Elder Tianji was sandwiched between them, his brows furrowed, his eyes flashing with a thoughtful light. The more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong, this scene was really too abnormal.

"I went to observe Luo Dan yesterday." Elder Tianji suddenly spoke, his voice steady but with a hint of barely perceptible worry, "Lu Dan's condition is obviously a little different from usual. He was too quiet and abnormal."

As soon as he finished speaking, the meeting room fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on him. They knew that Elder Tianji always had a unique vision, and his judgments were often accurate.

"You mean, there might be something wrong with Lodan?" a demon clan member asked cautiously, his tone full of uncertainty.

Elder Tianji nodded, then shook his head, his expression complicated. "I'm not sure, but I feel like something is fishy. Luo Dan usually acts decisively, but now he's suddenly become so quiet, which doesn't fit his character."

At this time, Pei Sheng hurriedly walked into the meeting room, his face full of anxiety and helplessness. "Everyone, do you know? Luo Dan has not come back yet, leaving me with such a big mess. Those people from the sects are not easy to deceive. What should I do?"

His words made the atmosphere in the meeting hall even more tense. Everyone looked at each other, their hearts full of doubts and uneasiness. They knew that Luo Dan's disappearance was undoubtedly a huge blow to the demons, and as the person in charge of the demon castle, Pei Sheng could imagine the pressure at the moment.

"Since everyone is so anxious, why don't I ask Luo Dan on your behalf?" Pei Sheng was running around in the room anxiously. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind and he blurted out, "I believe Luo Dan will definitely not lie to you! He must have some special reason for not coming back."

However, his words did not reassure everyone. They knew that Luo Dan's disappearance was not a simple matter, and there must be some unknown secrets hidden in it.

Just when Pei Sheng was getting anxious and at a loss, there was a sudden knock on the door. The sound was particularly harsh in the silent conference room, making everyone's nerves tense.

Pei Sheng was startled. He quickly walked to the door and shouted to the person outside: "Who is it? What's the matter?"

The person outside the door didn't seem to hear his question, and the knock on the door was still rapid and powerful. Pei Sheng frowned, and an ominous premonition surged in his heart. He took a deep breath and suddenly opened the door.

Standing outside the door was a demon soldier, his face covered in sweat and his expression panicked. "Master Pei Sheng, it's bad! Outside... a group of righteous people came outside, they said they wanted to see Master Luo Dan, and threatened that if Master Luo Dan didn't show up, they would force their way in!"

Pei Sheng was horrified when he heard this. He knew that those sects that were driven out by Luo Dan must have joined forces with the righteous forces to seek revenge. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. "Steady them first, I will go find Lord Luo Dan right away."

After saying that, he turned back to the meeting room and told everyone about the situation. Everyone's expressions changed drastically when they heard this. They knew that this crisis was undoubtedly a huge test for the demons. And Luo Dan's disappearance made the crisis even worse.

"What should we do now?" a demon member asked anxiously.

Elder Tianji pondered for a moment and slowly said, "It seems that we can only find a way to delay those people from the righteous forces first, and continue to search for Luodan's whereabouts. Only by finding Luodan can we completely resolve this crisis."

Deep inside the Demon Clan Castle, in an ancient and mysterious tower, Elder Tianji was sitting at a round table made of thousand-year-old cold iron, playing with a jade pendant that glowed faintly in his hand, his eyes deep, as if he was thinking about something important. Suddenly, a quick and firm knock on the door broke the silence.

"Who is it?" Elder Tianji's voice came slowly, with a hint of imperceptible majesty and curiosity.

Outside the door, Pei Sheng looked a little anxious. He clenched his fists and paced back and forth, obviously feeling troubled. "It's me, Pei Sheng. I want to meet Luo Dan and discuss this time and space plank road with him. Didn't we all agree to set off today? Why did we keep delaying for so long?" His tone was filled with dissatisfaction and confusion, and he was obviously puzzled by Luo Dan's delay.

Elder Tianji frowned slightly when he heard this, and a ripple appeared in his heart. (End of this chapter)
