Gods: Start with Goblins

.Finally, in the fog, they saw the outline of the Fog City.

The city stood like an isolated island in the thick fog, isolated from the outside world.

The city gate was closed tightly, like an insurmountable barrier.

Luo Dan took a deep breath and led everyone towards the city gate.

They knew that once they stepped into this city, they would be stepping into an unknown world.

What awaits them will be endless challenges and opportunities.

"Why would I lie to you?
In this journey full of unknowns and dangers, the trust between us is the most precious asset. " Elder Tianji's eyes revealed sincerity and frankness, and his voice echoed in the empty forest, which was particularly clear, "And what I said is absolutely right, there is no point in lying to you. In this dangerous world, what we need more is unity and cooperation, not suspicion and division. So, what can we do?"

He waved his hand, seemingly not caring about everyone's doubts, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "You can believe it or not, but I, Elder Tianji, have always acted upright and honestly, with no regrets in my heart."

When everyone saw Elder Tianji really take the lead in putting on the exquisite animal-shaped mask and hiding his face under the mysterious animal skin, the doubts in their hearts began to gradually dissipate. Luo Dan also came over and took his own mask, with a firm light flashing in his eyes, as if he was ready to face all challenges.

As everyone put on masks, their figures gradually became blurred in the thick fog, as if they had really transformed into monsters in the forest, preparing to step into the unknown foggy city.

When they finally arrived at the Fog City, the scene before them confirmed what Elder Tianji had said. The city seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mysterious fog, and half-demon, half-human residents were walking through the streets, their eyes showing both vigilance and curiosity.

Luo Dan and the others were aimlessly searching for the city lord's traces, but the city was too unfamiliar to them, as if every step was full of unknowns. Just when they were confused, Luo Dan suddenly saw a passing merchant, and he immediately walked up to him, trying to get some useful information from him.

"Why are there so many people here today? What are they going to do?" Luo Dan tried his best to make his tone sound natural, but the nervousness in his heart still made his voice tremble slightly.

Hearing this, the merchant looked up at Luo Dan, his sharp eyes seemed to be able to see through everything. However, he just withdrew his gaze indifferently and continued to fiddle with the goods in his hands.

"You are the tenth person who has come to ask questions today." The vendor's tone was filled with helplessness. "When did our place become so lively, with so many half-human, half-demon brothers coming here? To be honest, I don't quite know what they are doing here. I just know that there are suddenly many more outsiders in the city these two days."

After listening to the vendor's words, Luo Dan couldn't help but feel curious. He looked around and found that there were indeed many people wearing animal masks like them, wandering around in various corners of the city. The identities and purposes of these people were full of mystery, which made Luo Dan feel a little uneasy.

"What about the city lord? How can we find him?" Luodan continued to ask, hoping to get some clues about the city lord from the merchant.

The vendor shook his head, saying that he was powerless. "The whereabouts of the city lord are mysterious, and it is not something that ordinary people like us can ask about at will. However, if you really want to see the city lord, maybe you can try your luck in the square in the city center. There are often important gatherings there, and you may meet the city lord or someone around him."

Luo Dan listened to the vendor's advice and had a direction in mind. After thanking the vendor, he led everyone to the square in the center of the city. In this city full of unknowns and dangers, they can only rely on each other's wisdom and courage to find the key person who can lead them to the depths of the spirit world - the city lord.

As they go deeper, the mystery of the Fog City is gradually revealed. They meet all kinds of half-demons and half-humans, some are friendly, some are indifferent, but each of them hides their own stories and secrets. Luo Dan and the others travel through the city, constantly exploring and asking questions, hoping to find clues to the depths of the spirit world.

In the process, they experienced many challenges and difficulties, but each time they were able to successfully overcome them with mutual trust and cooperation. They gradually realized that in this world full of unknowns, only by unity can they overcome all difficulties and achieve their goals.

Finally, after a series of twists and turns, Luo Dan and his group finally found the city lord's trail. They met the legendary mysterious figure at a secret gathering. The city lord's eyes revealed wisdom and depth, as if he could see through everything.

When facing the city lord, Luo Dan and the others felt unprecedented pressure. But they knew that this was their only chance to reach the depths of the spirit world. So they mustered up their courage and made their request to the city lord.

After a moment of silence, the city lord finally agreed to their request. He gave them a clue leading to the depths of the spirit world and warned them to be careful because the danger there was far beyond their imagination.

Luo Dan and the others were excited and nervous after hearing the words of the city lord. They knew that the road ahead was full of unknowns and challenges, but as long as they united as one, they would be able to overcome all difficulties and achieve their goals. So, with the blessing and clues of the city lord, they embarked on a journey to the depths of the spirit world.

Luo Dan felt that something must be wrong. The sudden influx of many half-demons and half-humans in the Fog City and the unusual lively atmosphere made him feel alarmed. There must be something wrong, and this problem is likely closely related to the purpose of their expedition. He couldn't wait to ask the vendor next to him, trying to pry some useful information out of him.

"We also want to know why they all came here. Is there any event going on recently?" Luodan's words revealed an unconcealable curiosity. His eyes were fixed on the vendor, afraid to miss any subtle changes in his expression.

Hearing this, the merchant touched his nose, with a sly look in his eyes. "You know what, there are a few rumors that have been circulating in the city recently. The amount of information is huge, and many people have come here to inquire!" Luo Dan's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he saw the dawn of hope. Since there is news, then he is obviously much better than before searching aimlessly here. He immediately urged: "Tell me about it, I am curious too. We are also looking for something important, maybe your information can provide us with some clues."

Seeing this, the vendor coughed, cleared his throat, and began to talk about the things in Fog City. "Do you know that there is an ancient legend circulating in the city recently. It is said that deep in Fog City, there is a secret passage leading to the spirit world. And this passage will only be opened at certain times and under certain conditions."

Luo Dan and the others were fascinated by what they heard. They exchanged glances and understood the importance of this legend. If this was true, then the purpose of their expedition was probably related to this secret passage.

"Then, where exactly is this passage?" Luodan asked impatiently.

The vendor shook his head, indicating that he was not sure. "Well, I don't know. However, I heard that the appearance of this passage is related to a mysterious person in the city. It is said that he holds the key to opening the passage."

"Mysterious person?" Luo Dan frowned and thought, his heart full of curiosity about this mysterious person, "Can you tell us more about him?"

The vendor spread his hands, indicating that this was all he knew. "I only know that he is half demon, half human, his whereabouts are mysterious, and few people have seen his true face. However, if you really want to find him, maybe you can go to an abandoned temple in the city. Some people say that he occasionally appears there."

After listening to the vendor's words, Luo Dan had an idea in mind. After thanking the vendor, he led everyone to the abandoned temple. On the way, they met many explorers who were also looking for the mysterious person. Some seemed to be alone, while others were traveling in groups.

As they go deeper, the mystery of Fog City is gradually revealed. They find that this city is much more complicated than they imagined. The half-demon, half-human residents each have their own power and territory, and that mysterious person seems to be the mastermind behind all this.

After a series of twists and turns, Luo Dan and his group finally arrived at the door of the abandoned temple. The temple's door was tightly closed, like an insurmountable barrier. They pushed the door open and walked in carefully.

The temple was dark and silent, with only a few rays of weak sunlight shining through the dilapidated roof. As they walked along the corridor, they could hear the sound of wind from time to time, as if something was watching them in secret.

Suddenly, a deep voice echoed in the temple, causing Luo Dan and the others to shudder. "You are finally here. I have been waiting for you."

Luo Dan tightly grasped the weapon in his hand and looked around vigilantly. He saw a figure walking out from the darkness. It was a half-demon, half-human man, with wisdom and depth in his eyes.

"Are you the mysterious person?" Luo Dan asked tentatively.

The man nodded and slowly said, "Yes, I am the person you are looking for. I know why you are here, and I also know the secret passage to the spirit world. However, if you want to get the clue to it, you must pass my test."

Luo Dan and the others were both nervous and excited after hearing the man's words. They knew that this was their only chance to reach the depths of the spirit world. So they mustered up their courage and accepted the man's test.

After a fierce battle and a contest of wits, Luo Dan and the others finally passed the man's test. The man fulfilled his promise, gave them clues to the depths of the spirit world, and warned them to be careful because the dangers there were far beyond their imagination.

Luo Dan and the others were filled with gratitude and respect after hearing the man's words. They knew that the success of this expedition was inseparable from the help of this mysterious man. So, after thanking the man, they embarked on a journey to the depths of the spirit world. In the following journey, they will encounter more challenges and difficulties, but as long as they unite as one, they will be able to overcome everything and achieve their goals.

"You all asked me sincerely, so of course I have to tell you." The mysterious man spoke slowly, his voice echoing in the empty temple with a hint of indescribable majesty. "In fact, deep in the intersection of this spiritual world, there is an ancient rumor hidden. It is said that an ancient emperor is buried there. His tomb is not only a resting place, but also a small world containing endless power and secrets."

Luo Dan and the others listened attentively, their eyes sparkling with curiosity and desire. The man continued, "This small world was derived from the remaining will and power of the Great Emperor. After countless years, it has bred countless creatures and miracles. If you can successfully enter it and successfully accept the baptism of the unique power there, your cultivation will have a qualitative leap, and you may even break through the shackles of the demigod realm!"

At this point, he paused deliberately, as if to give everyone time to digest this shocking information. Then, he continued, "What's even more tempting is that if you can find the inheritance of the Great Emperor in this small world, you will have the opportunity to peek into the mysteries of the God level and achieve the transformation of mortals into gods. This inheritance is said to be able to help people reach the realm of God and have the power to change the world."

Luo Dan was shocked when he heard this. He touched his chin and pondered the man's words. Becoming the inheritor of God was undoubtedly a huge temptation. He was confident that he had enough qualifications and strength to fight for this inheritance, but he was a little undecided for a while, after all, this involved one of the most precious secrets in the entire spiritual world.

The merchant looked at Luo Dan's expression and knew that he had been deeply attracted by the rumor. He sighed, patted Luo Dan on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Luo Dan, I know what you are thinking. But you have to understand that this is not just a simple treasure hunt, but also a challenge to your own limits. The inheritance of the emperor is not something that can be obtained easily. You need to be fully prepared to cope with the upcoming tests."

Luo Dan nodded and looked at the vendor gratefully. He knew that although the vendor looked like an ordinary vendor, he was actually a well-informed and experienced veteran. His words undoubtedly reminded Luo Dan.

"Then, how do we enter this small world?" Luo Dan asked impatiently. (End of this chapter)
