Xiao Mo was all smiles as he read the news of the Wood People tribe's surrender.
With the first Wood People tribe bowing down, there would be a second, and then a third. Eventually, more and more Wood People tribes would pledge allegiance to the Immortal Demon Tribe, until the entire Wood People Empire was conquered.
As Xiao Mo was lost in his infinite fantasies, a string of notification interfaces popped up before his eyes.
"Esteemed Lord, your territory has conquered a Wood People tribe in the Endless Abyss region!"
"The fame and cohesion of the Immortal Demon Tribe have been greatly enhanced! It has reached the level of being renowned throughout the Endless Abyss!"
"Special Reminder One: Because you forced the Wood People tribes of the Endless Abyss to submit to you, the Wood People Empire's favorability towards you has significantly decreased. His Majesty, the Wood Emperor, has expressed dissatisfaction with you!"
"Special Reminder Two: Because you have conquered a Wood People tribe, the indigenous forces in the Endless Abyss region have made the Immortal Demon Tribe a primary target of attention. Be vigilant!"
"Special Reminder Three: Because you have conquered a Wood People tribe, the Dwarven Kingdom's hatred towards you has greatly increased! And the Immortal Demon Tribe has been removed from the kill list!"
"Special Reminder Four: Because your territory has gained the allegiance of a Wood People tribe, the Elven Kingdom's favorability towards the Immortal Demon Tribe has greatly increased!"
"Special Reminder..."
The notification messages only concluded after reaching "Special Reminder Nine."
Apart from the first four, the rest were mostly trivial matters with no substantial rewards.
However, Xiao Mo was truly surprised that conquering just one Wood People tribe could trigger such a chain reaction.
Even His Majesty, the Wood Emperor, from the central region, was displeased with him.
This sounded quite serious, but could someone of the Wood Emperor's caliber leave the central region?
Absolutely not!
Those stronger than the God Tier would be subject to the world's laws if they left the central region.
This was personally stated by the Wood People's High Priest.
As for those below the God Tier, if they dared to come, they would be met with the Immortal Demon Spirit Cannon.
As for the reaction of the Dwarven Kingdom in the Endless Abyss region, it almost made Xiao Mo laugh.
He had conquered the Wood People tribe, not the Dwarves.
Why were the Dwarves so petty?
Their hatred had significantly increased.
Let it increase, he thought. If they had the guts, they should attack his Immortal Demon Tribe.
However, the Dwarven Kingdom also proved to be incredibly timid.
They had removed the Immortal Demon Tribe from their kill list.
After thinking it through, Xiao Mo couldn't help but smirk, praising the wisdom of the Dwarven Kingdom's leaders.
Even though they hated his Immortal Demon Tribe to the core, now that the Immortal Demon Tribe had the allegiance of a Wood People tribe, the Dwarven Kingdom wisely knew they were no match and therefore had to hide their animosity.
It seemed that the conquest of the Wood People tribe by the Immortal Demon Tribe had not only caused a stir in the Dwarven Kingdom but had sent tremors throughout all the indigenous forces of the Endless Abyss.
Almost simultaneously, the Immortal Demon Tribe had become a primary target of attention.
The fame and cohesion of the Immortal Demon Tribe had already reached a renowned status.
Xiao Mo was unsure whether this was a good or bad thing.
The increased friendliness from the Elven Kingdom towards the Immortal Demon Tribe surprised Xiao Mo.
It seemed the rumors were true; the relationship between the Elves and the Wood People was indeed special.
Both races were favored by nature, and there must be some unique connection between them.
Therefore, gaining the loyalty of one race would increase the favorability of the other.
This was undoubtedly a good thing, and perhaps in the future, they could even leverage the Wood People to gain the allegiance of the Elves.
This would further boost the overall strength of the Immortal Demon Tribe.
The only downside was the increased hatred from the Dwarven Kingdom, which Xiao Mo did not dwell on, feeling only a slight regret.
The Dwarven Kingdom removing the Immortal Demon Tribe from their kill list clearly indicated they had no intention of attacking again.
It had to be said that the leaders of the Dwarven Kingdom were quite cunning.
Xiao Mo had prepared a grand gift for the Dwarven Kingdom, but it seemed that plan was now ruined.
Xiao Mo's regret stemmed from missing the opportunity to exploit the Dwarven Kingdom.
Facing the Dwarven Kingdom with its vast army and tens of thousands of elite dwarven warriors, Xiao Mo still felt somewhat troubled.
Exploiting them once to effectively weaken the Dwarven Kingdom's strength was Xiao Mo's original intention.
However, with the Dwarven Kingdom proactively conceding, Xiao Mo felt at a loss.
After all, the Nine Heavens Nine Nether City could only lock onto targets within a range of 150 kilometers.
Beyond this distance, it was somewhat beyond the current capabilities of the Nine Heavens Nine Nether City.
Therefore, to attack the Dwarven Kingdom, which was over 700 kilometers away, would require the Nine Heavens Nine Nether City to be mobilized and descend directly upon it.
Unfortunately, the current spiritual energy reserves of the Nine Heavens Nine Nether City were too low to activate.
For now, it could only hover peacefully in the clouds, diligently guarding the Immortal Demon Tribe.
Even using the Immortal Demon Spirit Cannon required Xiao Mo to personally expend Immortal Demon Stones.
In other words, if the Nine Heavens Nine Nether City had sufficient energy, Xiao Mo was confident he could quickly unify the entire Endless Abyss.
No matter what indigenous forces existed, none could withstand the bombardment of the Immortal Demon Spirit Cannon!
It was a pity that there were not enough Immortal Demon Stones now; otherwise, the Nine Heavens Nine Nether City could have been recharged directly.
Shaking his head, Xiao Mo put these thoughts aside.
Since the Wood People tribe was now settled, the next step would naturally be to deal with the Dwarven Kingdom.
Even though the Dwarven Kingdom had abandoned sending a large army to attack, the hatred still remained and had even increased significantly.
Even if they didn't fight now, a battle would inevitably occur someday.
Xiao Mo disliked leaving problems unresolved; he preferred to deal with troubles as soon as possible, lest they fester and develop into larger issues.
With the strength of the Wood People tribe combined with that of the Immortal Demon Tribe, the possibility of conquering the Dwarven Kingdom was quite high.
However, the losses would also be considerable.
Therefore, after some thought, Xiao Mo decided to wait a while longer.
He would let the Immortal Demon Squad, the Immortal Demon Death Squad, and the Immortal Demon Iron Guard develop further for a few more days.
After dealing with the presumptuous "[Immortal Slaying Demonic Extermination Alliance]," it would not be too late to crusade against the Dwarven Kingdom.
Xiao Mo had already formed a strategic plan for attacking the Dwarven Kingdom.
Not to mention that conquering the Dwarven Kingdom would undoubtedly make the entire Immortal Demon Tribe wealthy overnight.
Just consider the underground rapid transit tunnels built by the Dwarven Kingdom.
These were constructed by the Dwarves to be extensive, reaching almost every corner of the Endless Abyss region, making them a crucial strategic resource.
Once these tunnels were acquired, the success rate of attacking other indigenous forces would increase significantly...
