Mu Chun Rou's words this time were filled with sincerity.
She had no choice but to be sincere.
Somewhere in an unknown direction, a threat filled with mortal peril was locked onto her.
She was certain that if the master of this power truly acted, she would be instantly pulverized into dust.
She was already the strongest Wood Person in the Wood Person tribe, her strength reaching the peak of the Monarch rank.
But what terror would a power capable of instantly annihilating her possess?
If such power were to descend upon the Wood Person tribe, what would the scene be like?
She dared not imagine...
Therefore, Mu Chun Rou desperately wished for peaceful coexistence with the Immortal and Demon tribe.
She absolutely did not want to see this power descend upon the Wood Person tribe.
Upon hearing Mu Chun Rou's words of peaceful coexistence, a smile reappeared on Xiao Mo's face.
However, this time, the smile was tinged with a chilling coldness.
"You only have two choices before you. Your so-called peaceful coexistence is not among them!"
"Why? The great empires rule the central regions, and other races occupy their respective areas. The entire continent maintains a state of peace. Isn't this status quo good? Why must there be war?"
Mu Chun Rou's brow furrowed even tighter.
The Primordial Continent had finally experienced nearly a thousand years of peace. Wouldn't it be good to maintain it like this?
"I didn't expect you, the great priest of the Wood People, to be so naive!"
Xiao Mo chuckled and shook his head, tapping his finger on the armrest of his chair.
"This is destined fate, and also the general trend!"
The peace Mu Chun Rou spoke of was merely a relative state.
Let alone the arrival of billions of lords overnight onto the Primordial Continent.
Even before that, with the constant threat of monster invasions, no race could truly achieve peace.
Especially after the territorial powers descended upon this world, the so-called peace became even more like a fantasy.
With so many lords, all in pursuit of eternal life, they would inevitably embark on a path of territorial conquest and racial supremacy.
No lord would be willing to give up war and coexist peacefully with native forces or other territorial powers.
Even if a few individuals had such aspirations, they would absolutely not be able to survive in this world.
Even if he didn't want war, other territories or native forces would actively attack him until he was completely eliminated.
To escape this war, one would have to voluntarily give up their lord status and become a lone wanderer.
But even as a lone wanderer, the unique aura from another world would still be hated by native forces.
Therefore, Xiao Mo said it was destined and the general trend.
There was no such thing as peaceful coexistence between territorial forces and native forces.
Only war could solve problems; the winner takes all, the loser is cast out!
Seeing that Xiao Mo was unyielding and showed no signs of backing down, Mu Chun Rou became somewhat exasperated and directly invoked the Wood Person Empire.
"If my Wood Person tribe is truly conquered and destroyed by you, I believe His Majesty the Wood Emperor will never let you go! He will definitely send a great army to sweep across the entire Endless Abyss region! You are destined to perish under the iron hooves of the imperial army!"
Sensing the threat capable of destroying the Wood Person tribe, the only power Mu Chun Rou could leverage now was the powerful Wood Person Empire behind them.
She thought that by mentioning the Wood Emperor, whose fame resounded throughout the continent, Xiao Mo would surely back down.
But she truly didn't understand Xiao Mo.
Upon hearing Mu Chun Rou's words, the smile on Xiao Mo's face vanished without a trace.
His pair of dark eyes became incredibly deep, and he looked at Mu Chun Rou calmly.
Indeed, as one of the most powerful empires in the central region, the Wood Person Empire possessed terrifying strength.
It could be said that if the Wood Person Empire truly wanted to conquer the Endless Abyss region, it would be no more difficult than flipping their hand.
The army of the Wood Person Empire might not even need half a day to flatten the entire Endless Abyss.
This was the terrifying power of a mighty empire in the central region!
"Very well! You now have a third choice! I will do my best to slaughter the Wood Person tribe to the last one. Even if a few escape and survive, I will make them the most loyal slaves of my Immortal and Demon tribe!"
A chilling aura laced Xiao Mo's tone. His deep gaze was like a black hole, sending shivers down one's spine.
That's right!
The Immortal and Demon tribe could not currently contend with the massive Wood Person Empire.
But this did not mean they could be threatened by it.
There were countless Wood Person tribes throughout the Primordial Continent.
Would the Wood Person Empire truly mobilize its forces and send a large army on an expedition to his Immortal and Demon tribe for a small tribe in a remote region like the Endless Abyss?
Clearly, this was highly unrealistic!
Therefore, Xiao Mo did not take Mu Chun Rou's threat to heart. Instead, he chillingly threatened Mu Chun Rou.
"You dare!"
Upon hearing the word "slaves," frost covered Mu Chun Rou's face, and her eyes glared at Xiao Mo in furious indignation.
Before the Divine War, many humans and other races, out of curiosity, hunted and captured Wood People.
Once captured, they were treated as slaves and sold at high prices to others. This was a scar that the entire Wood Person race could never heal.
Now, with Xiao Mo reopening the wound, Mu Chun Rou instantly became like a powder keg ignited!
Glaring at Xiao Mo in anger, she opened her mouth as if to say, "Then let's fight!"
However, her powerful reason forced those four words back down her throat.
"I choose the second option!"
Mu Chun Rou raised her head and closed her eyes for a long while before speaking with difficulty:
"When I return, I will order the entire tribe to relocate from the Endless Abyss region and never appear here again! As for the tribe's resources, I also promise to leave them for you?"
No one knew how difficult it was for her to make this decision.
The Wood Person tribe had lived in the Endless Abyss for nearly a thousand years, growing from less than a hundred individuals to their current scale.
To be forced to relocate from the Endless Abyss under duress was something that not only she, but all her tribesmen, were unhappy about.
But what could she do?
The other options were either to submit to a territorial power or to be utterly annihilated.
Compared to that, relocating from the Endless Abyss region was already the best outcome.
However, she still underestimated Xiao Mo.
Since Xiao Mo's initial intention was to subjugate the Wood Person tribe, why would he let them go so easily?
Xiao Mo was somewhat stunned when he saw Mu Chun Rou agree.
This great priest of the Wood People actually had such courage and agreed.
This indeed exceeded Xiao Mo's expectations.
Since that was the case, he naturally had to continue setting a trap for this mature and charming Wood Person great priest.
"Relocation is acceptable! But you injured my subordinate, and you must pay compensation!"
Xiao Mo's voice was not loud, but it echoed throughout the entire hall.
Upon hearing Xiao Mo's words, Mu Chun Rou's eyes widened instantly, and she looked at Xiao Mo in disbelief.
What else did this human lord want? Wasn't driving the Wood People out of the Endless Abyss enough?
Of course, it wasn't enough...
