Gods: Start with Goblins

"Or are you not afraid of the consequences this incident will bring to you?"

Luo Dan looked at Qilin, a hint of contempt in his eyes.

He knew that Qilin was in a complicated mood, filled with anger, reluctance, and a hint of fear.

But he knew more clearly that his current strength far surpassed Qilin, and no matter what the other party did, it could not pose a threat to him.

"Consequences? Humph, when I, Luo Dan, do something, I have never been afraid of any consequences."

Luo Dan sneered, his voice echoing in the valley, carrying an indescribable dominance.

"If you really dare to do anything to me, I guarantee that your end will be a hundred times more miserable than it is now."

Qilin was startled when he heard this.

He knew that what Luo Dan said was not groundless. With the other party's strength and means, he was indeed capable of putting him in an irretrievable situation.

But he was unwilling to give in, so he gritted his teeth and prepared for a final struggle.

“Luodan, don’t be so arrogant. Although I, Qilin, am not as good as you, I am not a weakling who can be bullied.” Qilin roared, his body shook violently, and a powerful aura emanated from him, as if to destroy everything around him.

However, Luo Dan only glanced at him calmly and shook his head. He knew that Qilin's current anger and unwillingness were in vain, because the gap in strength had already determined their fate.

“Qilin, there is no hatred between you and me, but you have always been hostile to me. I wanted to resolve today’s matter peacefully, but since you are so stubborn, I have no choice but to use my strength to speak.” Luo Dan said, with an irresistible majesty in his voice.

After saying that, Luo Dan flashed and appeared in front of Qilin like a ghost. He stretched out his palm and pushed gently, and a powerful force surged towards Qilin. Qilin felt an irresistible force coming, and his body involuntarily stepped back a few steps and almost fell to the ground.

He stared at Luo Dan with wide eyes, and an indescribable fear surged in his heart. He knew that the gap between him and Luo Dan was getting bigger and bigger. If he continued like this, he would die in the hands of the other party sooner or later.

However, at this moment, Luo Dan suddenly withdrew his palm, and his eyes became soft. He knew that although he was powerful, he could not kill innocent people. So he decided to give Qilin a chance, and also give himself a chance.

"Qilin, I let you go today, not because I'm afraid of you, but because I don't want this meaningless fight to continue. If you are willing to live in peace with me, I, Luodan, can guarantee that I will never attack you again." Luodan said, with sincerity and concern in his voice.

Qilin was moved when he heard this. He knew that what Luo Dan said was true, and he himself really did not have the ability to compete with the other party. So, he nodded slowly and decided to accept Luo Dan's proposal.

From then on, the relationship between Luodan and Qilin eased. Although they were no longer enemies, they were not true friends. However, for Luodan, this was enough. Because he knew that he had found something more precious than Qilin's blood - that is peace and tranquility.

"With your strength, I don't think you are strong enough, let alone using it to deal with me." Luo Dan's voice echoed in the empty valley, with a hint of disdain and ridicule. He stood on a huge rock, looking down at Qilin, his eyes revealing an indescribable contempt.

Qilin's face turned red when he heard this, and he was ashamed. He clenched his teeth tightly, as if trying to suppress the gasp that was about to come out. Before, he did naively think that with his own strength, he could at least cause some trouble to Luo Dan, and even have the possibility of defeating him. However, reality gave him a loud slap in the face. Luo Dan was unmoved by his attack and didn't even look at him straight in the eye.

----------

"You don't really think it's that simple, do you? You're so naive." Luo Dan continued, with an irrepressible sarcasm in his voice. He knew that the reason why Qilin took this path of no return was because he was too confident in his own strength and ignored Luo Dan's true strength.

Qilin lowered his head and clenched his fists, as if trying to suppress his inner anger and unwillingness. He knew that he had no way out now and could only face Luodan. However, he found that he did not even have the courage to look Luodan in the eye.

"Just let me go, and pretend that we have never met each other." Qilin suddenly spoke, with a voice full of pleading and despair. He regretted now, regretting why he had become an enemy of Luodan, regretting why he had embarked on this road of no return. He just wanted to escape from this place, escape from Luodan's sight, and never come back.

Luo Dan heard this and shook his head, not interested in it. He knew that the reason why Qilin said this now was because he had no other choice. However, Luo Dan did not intend to let him go.

"Do you think that things can be solved so easily?" Luo Dan said coldly, with an unquestionable majesty in his voice. "You attacked me before, which violated my bottom line. Now, you want me to let you go. Do you think it's possible?"

Qilin's heart sank when he heard this. He knew that what Luodan said was true, and he had no hope now. However, he was still unwilling to give up, so he raised his head and looked at Luodan, trying to fight for a glimmer of hope with his last bit of courage. "Luodan, I know I did something wrong before, but I really regret it now. I beg you, just let me go this time. I promise that I will never trouble you again." Qilin said, with a kind of pleading and despair in his voice.

However, Luo Dan just looked at him coldly without making any reply. He knew that Qilin's words were out of helplessness and fear, not true repentance. Therefore, he did not intend to let him go so easily.

"Qilin, it's too late for you to regret now. Your attack on me before has already doomed your fate." Luo Dan said, with an irresistible majesty in his voice, "Now, you only have two choices: either you end it yourself, or I kill you myself."

When Qilin heard this, he felt an indescribable fear in his heart. He knew that what Luo Dan said was true, and he had no choice now. However, he was still unwilling to give up his life, so he gritted his teeth and prepared to make a final struggle.

"Luo Dan, don't force me!" Qilin roared, his body shook violently, and a powerful aura emanated from him. However, this aura seemed so small and powerless in Luo Dan's eyes.

Luo Dan looked at Qilin, with a hint of contempt in his eyes. He knew that Qilin's current anger and unwillingness were in vain, because the gap in strength had already determined their fate. So, he slowly raised his palm, ready to give Qilin a final break.

However, at this moment, a sudden ray of light broke the silence of the valley. This ray of light was like a meteor across the sky, instantly illuminating the entire valley. Luo Dan and Qilin were attracted by this sudden light and looked up.

A figure slowly walked out of the light. It was an old man in white clothes, with an indescribable majesty and kindness on his face. He looked at Luo Dan and Qilin, and slowly said, "My two friends, why do you have to fight over a little grudge? Why don't you turn hostility into friendship and pursue the way of cultivation together?"

Luo Dan and Qilin were stunned when they heard this. They knew that this old man was a senior master in the cultivation world. His appearance undoubtedly brought an unexpected turn to the fight. So, they put away their weapons and saluted the old man respectfully.

The old man looked at them, nodded slightly, and then said: "The road to cultivation is long and arduous. We should not waste time on meaningless fights. Only by uniting as one and pursuing the way of cultivation together can we go further on this road."

Luo Dan and Qilin fell into deep thought after hearing this. They knew that what the old man said was true and their previous fight was indeed meaningless. So, they expressed their gratitude to the old man and decided to put aside their grudges and pursue the way of cultivation together.

From then on, the relationship between Luodan and Qilin eased. Although they were no longer enemies, they were not true friends either. However, for them, this was enough. Because they knew that they had found something more meaningful than fighting - that is, to pursue the way of cultivation together and explore the mysteries of heaven and earth. The appearance of the old man undoubtedly pointed out a new path for them, making them more determined and persistent on the road of cultivation in the future.

"I'm not interested. You should just do it on your own." Luo Dan's words were filled with an unquestionable determination. His eyes were cold and distant, as if he had lost interest in everything in front of him. After saying that, he calmly withdrew his gaze, turned around and was about to leave, leaving Qilin standing there in a daze.

Qilin thought to himself, this is the end. He originally thought that with his own strength, he could at least win something from Luo Dan, even a little respect or recognition. However, reality gave him a cruel blow. Luo Dan's disregard made him feel unprecedented frustration and despair. He looked at Luo Dan's back as he left, feeling mixed emotions in his heart, but he didn't know where to start.

The sword spirit was secretly anxious when it saw this scene. It knew that although Luo Dan's strength was not bad, he was still too small in front of the god-level venerable. If he didn't improve his strength as soon as possible, he might encounter more troubles in the future. It said with emotion: "If I could restore my strength to the peak, I could destroy Qilin with just a flick of my finger. Unfortunately, I am powerless now."

Luo Dan paused slightly when he heard this. It was not that he did not believe the sword spirit's words, but he did not dare to believe them easily. He knew how powerful the sword spirit was in the past, and its strength was unfathomable. However, now it said that it was powerless, which made Luo Dan feel a little worried. He turned his head, looked at the sword spirit, and asked solemnly: "So what do you think I should do now?"

The sword spirit was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Your current strength is not enough to cope with all challenges. However, you can't give up just because of this. You must resolve the matter of the evil cultivator as soon as possible. Otherwise, once he escapes, the consequences will be disastrous."

Luo Dan frowned upon hearing this. He knew that the matter of the evil cultivator was indeed urgent. However, he was worried that his strength was not enough to deal with it. He thought about it, and then blurted out: "Can we find a way to kill the evil cultivator first? If we can't kill him, and then wait for him to escape, wouldn't it be a disaster for everyone?"

The sword spirit nodded after hearing this. It knew that Luo Dan's worries were not unreasonable. So, it began to give Luo Dan advice and formulated a series of plans against the evil cultivator. It told Luo Dan that in order to destroy the evil cultivator, he must first understand his weaknesses and habits, and then formulate an effective countermeasure.

After Luo Dan heard this, his mind suddenly became clear. He began to act according to the sword spirit's plan, improving his own strength while looking for the traces of the evil cultivator. In the process, he encountered various challenges and difficulties, but he overcame them one by one.

As time went by, Luo Dan's strength continued to improve. He began to be able to deal with some more powerful enemies, and even sometimes, he was able to give them fatal blows. This made him feel extremely gratified and proud.

Finally, by chance, Luo Dan discovered the hiding place of the evil cultivator. He rushed in without hesitation and started a fierce battle with the evil cultivator. After a hard fight, Luo Dan finally defeated the evil cultivator with his own strength and wisdom.

When he walked out of the evil cultivator's hiding place, the sun shone on him, and he felt unprecedented ease and joy. He knew that he had taken an important step towards a higher realm. And all of this was inseparable from the help and support of the sword spirit.

He looked at the sword spirit, his heart filled with gratitude. He knew that no matter what difficulties and challenges he encountered in the future, as long as the sword spirit was by his side, he would have endless courage and strength. So he walked forward firmly, meeting every challenge in the future.

As he finished speaking, the sword spirit sneered, with a bit of disdain and helplessness in his voice. "After all, he is also a god-level evil cultivator. With your current ability, Luo Dan, it is undoubtedly a foolish dream to want to destroy him." The sword spirit's words were like a sharp blade in the cold wind, piercing Luo Dan's heart.

Luo Dan frowned upon hearing this, and a hint of unwillingness flashed across his eyes. He knew very well the gap between his own strength and that of the god-level evil cultivator, but his inner stubbornness made him unwilling to give up easily. (End of this chapter)
