I am the Pope in the Western Fantasy World

Listening to the little boy's words, they all felt a little weird. How could a ten-year-old child be so mature, with a vicissitudes of life tone in his words?

"How do you know there might be another world out there?" Patrick asked.

"Of course it was passed down from generation to generation. Our ancestors may have come from the outside world thousands of years ago, but it's too long ago." The little boy said with emotion.

Then he looked at everyone again, "However, I never thought that when I was about to return to the embrace of the God of Destiny, I would actually see outsiders! People who really came from the outside world!"

His expression became excited and even his hands and feet could not stop shaking.

"We are indeed from outside, can you tell us about the situation in the town?" asked Phil Gray.

"There's nothing to introduce. Just take a look for yourself." The little boy walked in front, quickening his pace. "The townspeople must welcome your arrival. This is really a miracle! The God of Destiny finally remembered us forgotten people!"

Everyone followed the little boy and hurried to the town.

When we arrived at the entrance of the town, we saw an old man sweeping the dead leaves at the entrance of the town with a broom. After seeing this group of strange people, he froze in his tracks for a moment. Then he saw the little boy and his eyes lit up. "Grandpa Jack, where have you been these days? Who are they? I seem to have forgotten them again. Can you introduce them to me? I will definitely remember everyone in the town this time!"

The little boy stepped forward and said, "Don't clean up, these are people coming in from the outside world, go and inform your parents!"

"What? The outside world?" The old man dropped the broom in his hand and ran away screaming.

At this time, another group of people passed by, young and old. When they saw their unfamiliar faces, they all screamed, and they were surrounded by more and more people.

"Do you feel something is wrong? The elderly here act like children, and the children are called grandpa by the elderly!" Mrs. Dean covered her mouth.

"That's true, what's going on?" Phil Gray was also a little confused.

"How old are you?" Patrick patted the shoulder of the little boy who was talking to the villagers.

"Seventy-seven. Just wait a moment, the mayor will be here soon." The little boy replied.

"Seventy-seven? Oh my God, the people here are growing younger! The older they are, the younger they look!" Patrick said in surprise.

The others also showed an expression of disbelief.

Even the experienced leader had a hint of surprise in his eyes.

When they were surrounded by a crowd of people like they were monkeys, the mayor mentioned by the little boy finally appeared. He was also a little boy.

With golden hair and some baby fat on her face, she looks quite cute.

His arrival quieted down the gossiping townspeople.

"They are indeed outsiders!" The mayor was also very excited. He looked at these strangers back and forth, "How did you get through that barrier?"

"There is a cave in our world. Put the flower of destiny into the depression in the cave and it will come in directly." Phil Gray replied. He looked at the blond boy in front of him and found it hard to believe that there was actually an old soul in his body.

"Flower of Destiny, are you all believers in the God of Destiny?"

Phil Gray looked at the others, the apostates now present, and didn't know whether he should answer yes.

"No, there are believers of other gods as well."

"Other gods? Are there other gods in the outside world?" This answer caused the townspeople to start noisy discussions again.

"Quiet!" the mayor said.

"Come with me, this is not a good place to talk." He led everyone along the road of the town, and a large number of residents followed behind them.

They looked at the buildings in the town, which were no different from the houses outside.

"Thousands of years ago, our ancestors came here and could never leave again." The mayor sighed, "This is the price of angering the gods!"

"What? Is your ancestor called Duke Pope?"

Phil Gray asked.

"Well, he was one of them, but there were several other families that came in back then, otherwise we wouldn't have survived until now."

"How could he have angered the gods? Didn't he offer fine wine to the gods and accept their gifts?" Patrick wondered.

The mayor paused. "That's not clear. It happened so long ago that we know very little. We only know that we were imprisoned here because we angered the gods."

Following the mayor, we learned about the basic situation of the town. There are currently about a thousand people in the town. As this space is closed and there are no outsiders, they all practice close relative marriages, and more and more newborn babies die. They also learned that the people here do look old as soon as they go out, and they will gradually become younger and younger until they turn back into babies and face death.

"It's amazing!" Patrick exclaimed.

Phil Gray followed the team with a solemn expression, saying nothing, because ever since he entered the town, he could hear the whisper of the God of Destiny. It was the motto he heard after breaking through the listening level - "They should not have such a fate."

Is this my chance to break through to the next level?

Does “they” refer to the residents of the town? How can we fulfill this motto and change their fate?

Phil Gray looked at the town with some headache.

"What happened after Duke Pope accepted the divine light of the scales? How could he have angered the gods?" Eli muttered to himself.

The mayor arranged accommodation for them and sent them all kinds of food. The townspeople stood guard at the mayor's door, looking at them eagerly. Some even clamored to come in, but were driven away by the mayor.

"Do you have any way to get out?" The mayor looked at them expectantly.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, and the leader spoke up, "This is an independent space, which should be maintained by a core. Only by finding the core of this space can we find a way out."

The mayor was silent for a while. "I have been to every place here, and I have never seen the core you mentioned."

He looked at everyone again, smiling a little creepy, "It's okay if you can't go out. We have many beautiful girls here. You can choose any one you want. At least the town won't perish so soon."

"What? We are going out." Patrick's eyes widened.

"Yeah, it would be best if we could get out." The mayor nodded, "I'll go ask other old companions to see if they know where the core you mentioned might be."
