The Mu people, aside from the human race, were one of the three most powerful advanced intelligent races.
The other two races were the elves and the dragons.
Both the Mu people and the elves were darlings of nature.
They were born of the forces of nature, essentially being born from the earth itself.
Among these three races, the Mu people were the most powerful, solely due to the existence of His Majesty, the Mu Emperor.
After the ancient divine war, as all races were rebuilding, they were invaded by demons from another world.
Just as the Mu people faced the crisis of racial extinction, their most powerful leader, the current Mu Emperor, appeared.
He led the entire Mu people in a fierce resistance, and with the assistance of the Ancestral Wood of Nature, they slew countless demons and finally expelled the invaders.
As generations passed and civilization developed, the Mu Empire grew increasingly powerful, making the Mu people even more prosperous, becoming a formidable empire that the entire continent feared.
Compared to the Mu people, the elves and dragons were significantly weaker.
The elves, also products of nature's power, were more arrogant than the Mu people and their overall strength was a step behind.
As for the dragons, they were the kings among magical beast races.
However, dragon procreation was relatively difficult, so their numbers were not large, which made their overall strength much weaker than the Mu people and elves.
Nevertheless, one could not underestimate the deterrence and influence of the elves and dragons within the continent's indigenous powers.
After all, they were among the three strongest races!
...
Within the Mu people's tribe.
Xiao Mo enjoyed the highest level of hospitality from the Mu people's tribe.
At the same time, his arrival caused great anxiety among the Mu people's shamans.
Why had this human lord suddenly descended upon their tribe?
"Lord, after deliberation by all the Mu people in the tribe, it has been decided that the Mu people's tribe will henceforth submit to the Immortal Demon Tribe and become your subordinate force!"
After ushering Xiao Mo into the courtyard to sit, Mu Chunrou respectfully reported.
Xiao Mo nodded gently, his expression unchanging.
"I already knew about this last night!"
"Last night?"
Mu Chunrou was slightly taken aback upon hearing Xiao Mo's words.
Before she had even had a chance to report the outcome, how did this lord already know?
Instantly, she realized this must be a special ability of lords from another world.
Mu Chunrou and the other Mu shamans were quite curious about these lords from other worlds.
Just as she was about to ask some questions about the lord, her mind suddenly became chaotic, and the questions she wanted to ask could not be recalled.
Mu Chunrou's expression changed drastically, even becoming somewhat fearful.
As a peak Sovereign realm expert, her memory was already eidetic.
Let alone things she had just thought of, she could easily recall secrets hidden deep within her soul.
Yet, now she had forgotten the question she wanted to ask.
Mu Chunrou couldn't help but shiver. She realized that a mysterious, unknown force was subtly influencing her.
Xiao Mo paid no mind to the changes in Mu Chunrou and the other Mu shamans, his gaze sweeping over them one by one.
[Name: Mu Chunrou]
[Race: Pure Mu people]
[Current Strength: Peak Sovereign]
[Loyalty: Seventy-five points]
[Strength Advancement Limit: Peak Saint]
[PS: At an opportune moment, there is a high probability of bloodline evolution, potentially evolving into an Ancient Mu person, with strength advancement limit increasing to Peak Divine!]
[Name: Mu Ke]
[Race: Pure Mu people]
[Current Strength: Peak Spirit]
[Loyalty: Seventy-two points]
[Strength Advancement Limit: Mid-grade Saint]
[PS: At an opportune moment, there is a high probability of bloodline evolution, potentially evolving into an Ancient Mu person, with strength advancement limit increasing to Mid-grade Divine!]
[Name: Mu Ling]
[Race: Pure Mu people]
[Current Strength: Peak Spirit]
[Loyalty: Seventy-three points]
[Strength Advancement Limit: Mid-grade Saint]
[PS: At an opportune moment, there is a high probability of bloodline evolution, potentially evolving into an Ancient Mu person, with strength advancement limit increasing to Mid-grade Divine!]
...
Besides Mu Chunrou, the other four shamans were all at the peak Spirit realm.
Their strength advancement limits were all mid-grade Saint, with only Mu Chunrou's limit being peak Saint.
Once strength reached the peak Saint limit, it became extremely difficult to take another step forward.
Although the information stated "opportune moment," who knew when that opportune moment would be?
They could only hope for good luck and to obtain blueprints or similar items that could allow the Mu people to evolve sooner.
At the same time, Xiao Mo thought of that top lord who possessed the Wind Thunder Treant unit.
Wind Thunder Treants were also a branch of the Mu people, and their abilities were essentially the same as pure Mu people.
This explained why that top lord could easily break into the top one hundred during the beast tide war and steadily hold the eighteenth position.
Since Wind Thunder Treants possessed the same characteristics as pure Mu people, then...
As long as this lord had good luck, these Wind Thunder Treants would have the opportunity to advance to divine beings, or at the very least, beings of mid-grade Saint or above.
These top lords were indeed not to be underestimated.
However, they were only "not to be underestimated," not enough to make Xiao Mo feel wary.
In the face of fully developed Immortal Demon units, other units were mere trash.
What puzzled Xiao Mo, however, was the loyalty value of these Mu shamans.
The Mu people's tribe had not been purified, so there was no concept of faith towards him.
They had merely been forced to surrender.
Xiao Mo had originally expected their loyalty values to be below seventy points, meaning they would be on the verge of rebellion at any moment.
But what Xiao Mo did not expect was that their loyalty values all exceeded seventy points. Even if it was just seventy-one points, they would not rebel.
But why was this?
Logically, these Mu people should have harbored some resentment towards him, so loyalty values below seventy would have been normal.
Could this be the unique contractual spirit of the Mu people?
Unable to figure this out, Xiao Mo could only shake his head and put the matter aside.
After all, it was not a bad thing.
Meanwhile.
Outside the Grand Shaman's residence, many Mu people had gathered.
They had all heard that their lord, whom they were about to pledge allegiance to, had arrived and had specifically come to catch a glimpse of him.
Upon learning this, Xiao Mo stood up and walked towards the courtyard entrance.
Since this would be a subordinate force of the Immortal Demon Tribe from now on, these Mu people were his own people.
Xiao Mo had always been very amiable and approachable towards his own people.
As Xiao Mo's figure appeared outside the courtyard.
Amidst the sea of Mu people, discussions immediately erupted.
These Mu people included the young and strong, children, and elders, all looking at Xiao Mo with curiosity.
Their eyes were clear as water, seemingly able to penetrate to the depths of one's heart.
Xiao Mo smiled gently at all the Mu people and said loudly:
"Brothers and sisters of the Mu people, hello!"
