Gods: Start with Goblins

Luo Dan pondered for a moment and said:
“I need a quiet place with abundant spiritual energy to practice. At the same time, I also need some precious medicinal herbs and spiritual stones to assist in my practice.

If you could help me find these places and items, I would be very grateful.”

When the city lord heard this, he immediately became excited and said quickly:

“Don’t worry, sir. We will do our best to find the most suitable training location and necessary items for you.

Please wait a moment, I will arrange for someone to help."

After saying that, the city lord turned and left, leaving Luo Dan alone in the city lord's mansion.

Luo Dan looked around, feeling the ancient and mysterious atmosphere here, and an inexplicable feeling welled up in his heart. He knew that although he was powerful, he still needed the help and support of these monsters in this strange world.

Not long after, the city lord hurried back with a group of his men, holding various precious medicinal herbs and spiritual stones in their hands, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation. The city lord handed these things to Luo Dan respectfully and said, "Sir, these are the medicinal herbs and spiritual stones we found for you. I hope they can help you in your cultivation."

Luo Dan took the herbs and spirit stones, and a warm feeling surged in his heart. He looked at the city lord and his monsters with gratitude and said, "Thank you, your help means a lot to me. I will recover my strength as soon as possible, and then lead you to a better future."

When the city lord and his monsters heard this, they all cheered and rejoiced, as if they saw a new era coming to them. Under Luo Dan's leadership, they began to prepare everything they needed for cultivation, and at the same time silently prayed in their hearts that Luo Dan would be able to recover his strength as soon as possible.

In the following days, Luo Dan began his journey of cultivation in a quiet corner of the City Lord's Mansion. He sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and concentrated, feeling the surge and growth of spiritual energy in his body. And those precious medicinal herbs and spiritual stones, under his guidance, turned into powerful forces and poured into his body.

As time went by, Luo Dan's strength continued to improve and recover. He felt that his connection with the world was getting closer and closer, as if he could see through some hidden mysteries and powers. The city lord and his monsters were also paying close attention to Luo Dan's progress in cultivation. They hoped that this strong man could lead them to glory as soon as possible.

Finally, one morning, when the first ray of sunlight fell on the City Lord's Mansion, Luo Dan slowly opened his eyes. He felt the surging power in his body, and his heart was filled with pride and joy. He knew that he had successfully restored his god-level strength, and all of this was inseparable from the support and help of these monsters.

He stood up and looked at the city lord and the monsters in front of him with a grateful smile on his face. He said: "Thank you for your support and help. Without you, I would not have been able to recover so quickly. Now, I am ready. Let us move towards a better future together!"

When the city lord and the monsters heard this, they all cheered and jumped for joy. They seemed to see a new chapter unfolding before them. Under the leadership of Luo Dan, they began to embark on a new journey, moving towards a higher and farther goal. And this experience has become an eternal legend and memory in their hearts.

"There is a very strange aura in your City Lord's Mansion, as if it is ancient and mysterious. Are you holding some kind of ceremony?" Luo Dan couldn't help but ask. His eyes wandered around the City Lord's Mansion, trying to find the source of that aura.

Hearing Luo Dan's words, the city lord was slightly shocked. He looked at Luo Dan in disbelief. He was indeed a leader among the Warcraft. He could even guess this. Since Luo Dan had asked, he did not intend to hide it. After all, they would all obey Luo Dan's command in the future.

"That's right, sir," the city lord replied respectfully, "Since we don't have pure blood, our strength will reach a bottleneck after reaching a certain stage. If we want to break this bottleneck, we can only find some special methods to assist in cultivation. And this method does require more people to help."

Luo Dan nodded thoughtfully after hearing this. He guessed that this method might not be simple, and might even be a little evil. However, he did not express it directly, but asked calmly: "What exactly is this method? Can you tell me more about it?"

The city lord hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell Luo Dan the truth. He took a deep breath and said slowly, "In fact, this method is to use a special ritual to gather the power of multiple monsters together, and then use this power to break through the bottleneck. Although this method can quickly improve strength, it also has great risks and side effects. Therefore, we have been looking for a safer and more effective method of cultivation."

After listening to this, Luo Dan frowned. He did feel that this method was somewhat evil, and it was not the way of cultivation he was pursuing. So, he shook his head and said, "This method is not a particularly good one. I think it's better to forget it. I would rather break through the bottleneck through my own efforts than rely on this evil power."

The city lord was a little surprised to hear Luo Dan's words. He originally thought that Luo Dan would accept this method, after all, this was the way they had been practicing. However, Luo Dan refused without hesitation. This made him start to wonder, could it be that the adults had changed their style?
He looked at Luo Dan with a confused look, trying to find the answer from Luo Dan's expression. However, Luo Dan didn't feel anything was wrong at all, his eyes were firm and persistent, as if he had already made his own decision.

Seeing this, the city lord wanted to persuade Luo Dan again. He felt that if Luo Dan could accept this method, his strength would be able to recover to its peak state faster. This would undoubtedly be a good thing for them.

"Sir, please reconsider this," the city lord said earnestly, "Although this method is a bit evil, it can indeed help you break through the bottleneck quickly. Moreover, we will do our best to ensure your safety and will not let you come into any harm."

Luo Dan listened to the city lord's words, but he just smiled faintly. He understood the city lord's concerns and expectations, but he knew his own way of cultivation better. He didn't want to use any evil power to improve his strength, as that would only put himself in a deeper predicament.

“Thank you for your kindness, but I have made up my mind,” Luo Dan said firmly, “I will break through the bottleneck through my own efforts instead of resorting to such evil methods. I believe that only in this way can I truly improve my strength and become a truly powerful person.”

Although the city lord was a little disappointed when he heard Luo Dan's words, he had to admire Luo Dan's determination and persistence. He knew that Luo Dan was a strong man with his own principles and beliefs, and would not easily change his mind. So he nodded to show that he respected Luo Dan's decision. At the same time, he also secretly made up his mind to do his best to help Luo Dan regain his strength and make him a real strong man.

In the following days, Luo Dan began his own journey of cultivation. Every day, he practiced in seclusion in a quiet corner of the City Lord's Mansion, feeling the surge and growth of spiritual energy in his body. And those precious medicinal herbs and spiritual stones, under his guidance, turned into powerful forces and poured into his body.

The city lord and his monsters were always paying attention to Luo Dan's progress. They hoped that this strong man would recover his strength as soon as possible and lead them to a better future. Luo Dan did not disappoint their expectations. His strength was constantly improving and recovering, as if he was moving towards his peak state.

"Sir, all of our methods are for your comprehensive consideration," the city lord's voice was filled with a hint of urgency and expectation, "As long as we can successfully improve our bloodline, we can work together to release our ancestor from the barrier that imprisoned him! This is the common wish of all of us monsters, and it is also the goal we strive for."

Luo Dan was moved when he heard this. He originally thought that this was just a simple plan to improve strength, but he didn't expect that there was such a profound meaning behind it. It turned out that they were not only for their own strength, but also for rescuing the imprisoned ancestors. This made him respect these monsters even more.

"What you said makes sense," Luo Dan said slowly. His eyes stayed on the city lord for a moment, as if he was weighing something. "How about this? You take me to the front and let me see the power of the ritual. It won't be too late to make a decision later."

Hearing this, the city lord breathed a sigh of relief. He was originally worried that Luo Dan would reject their plan, but now it seems that the master is still the master before and is willing to give them a chance. So he quickly nodded and agreed, and took Luo Dan to the depths of the city lord's mansion.

Luo Dan followed behind the city lord, his eyes wandering around. When he came in before, he felt that something was wrong here. There were traces of fighting everywhere in the city lord's mansion, and even broken formations could be seen on some stone tablets. These signs made him suspect that this place might not have originally been the place where the monsters gathered, but was later occupied by the monsters.

Thinking of this, Luo Dan couldn't help but sigh. The battle must have been very fierce, otherwise there wouldn't be so many traces left. He looked around, trying to find any traces of the battle from the ruined buildings and stone tablets. However, he found nothing except devastation and desolation.

"Sir, this is where we will hold the ceremony." The city lord suddenly stopped and pointed to a huge square in front of him. Luo Dan looked in the direction of his finger and saw a huge altar in the center of the square. The altar was engraved with complex runes and patterns, as if it contained some mysterious power.

"Is this the ritual you use to improve your bloodline?" asked Luodan. His gaze lingered on the altar for a moment, then turned to the city lord.

"Yes, sir." The city lord replied respectfully, "This altar was passed down by our ancestors. It is said that it can communicate the spiritual energy between heaven and earth and help us improve our bloodline. However, since our bloodline is not pure enough, we cannot directly stimulate the power of the altar. Therefore, we need to find more magical beasts to hold this ceremony together."

Luo Dan nodded, he understood what the city lord meant. It seemed that this ritual was not that simple, and it required the power of many magical beasts to succeed. However, he also knew that this method of improving bloodline was not necessarily safe, and might even bring unknown consequences.

"Are you sure this method will work?" Luo Dan asked again, with a hint of worry in his tone.

"We are sure this method is feasible, sir." The city lord replied firmly, "Although there are certain risks, we are willing to pay any price to rescue our ancestors. Moreover, we have made full preparations and believe that we will succeed."

Hearing this, Luo Dan was silent for a while. He knew that the loyalty and respect of these monsters for their ancestors came from the bottom of their hearts, and they were willing to give everything to save their ancestors. This touched him and made him admire them.

"Well, in that case, I will try this ritual with you." Luo Dan finally spoke, with a hint of determination in his tone, "However, if any problems occur during the ritual, you must stop immediately and don't joke with your own lives."

The city lord smiled gratefully upon hearing this. He nodded in agreement and took Luo Dan to the altar. Other monsters also gathered around, each with a solemn expression, as if they were performing a sacred ceremony.

Following the city lord's command, the monsters began to chant the ancient spell, and the runes on the altar gradually lit up. Luo Dan felt the surge of spiritual energy around him, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He knew that this ceremony would determine their fate and the future of their ancestors.

However, just when the ceremony was at its most critical moment, a powerful force suddenly surged out from the altar, knocking Luodan and all the monsters away. Luodan steadied himself and looked at the runes flashing on the altar, with an ominous premonition in his heart.

"What's going on? Why did the ritual go out of control?" Luodan asked loudly, his eyes wandering over the city lord and other monsters, trying to find the answer to the question.

However, the city lord and other monsters were also at a loss, and they obviously didn't know why this happened. They looked at Luo Dan with fear and anxiety in their eyes.

"Sir, we don't know why this happened..." The city lord replied with a trembling voice, "We have practiced this ceremony many times before, and this kind of problem has never occurred..."

Luo Dan's heart sank when he heard this. He knew that this ceremony might not be as simple as they imagined. And the power gushing out from the altar also made him feel a little threatened.

"Everyone calm down first, don't panic." Luo Dan said in a deep voice, "Let's leave here first and make plans after we find out the cause." (End of this chapter)
