Watching the situation unfold so smoothly, Shi Tianqi, the lord of the Kuang Tie territory, was on the verge of tears of joy.
He had always possessed a heart that cared for the common people, but with his own strength alone, he couldn't possibly gain the respect of all the other territory lords.
However, with Xiao Mo's token now in hand, Shi Tianqi, lord of the Kuang Tie territory, felt like a fish in water.
At this moment, Shi Tianqi, the lord of the Kuang Tie territory,'s admiration for Xiao Mo reached its zenith.
Their affairs progressed exceptionally smoothly, and in less than half a day, they had gathered all the territory lords.
After finishing these matters, Shi Tianqi, the lord of the Kuang Tie territory, immediately set off for the Immortal and Demon Empire without pause.
Upon arriving at the gates of the Immortal and Demon Empire, he gazed at the majestic castle and the vast territory stretching for tens of thousands of kilometers.
Shi Tianqi, the lord of the Kuang Tie territory, felt a sense of awkwardness and was too embarrassed to step inside.
Finally, a soldier of the Immortal and Demon Legion discovered his presence and escorted him into the Immortal and Demon Castle.
Xiao Mo was somewhat surprised to hear that Shi Tianqi, the lord of the Kuang Tie territory, had already arrived.
He immediately asked, "Shi Tianqi, lord of the Kuang Tie territory, are you all ready now?"
Seeing his idol, Shi Tianqi, the lord of the Kuang Tie territory, became flushed with excitement, struggling to find words.
"Yes... Yes, yes! Great Xiao Mo, we are all ready. We hope you can issue the next command!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Mo raised his eyebrows.
He hadn't expected Shi Tianqi, the lord of the Kuang Tie territory, to be so quick to react and to entrust all these matters to him.
It seemed these territory lords truly trusted him.
Xiao Mo, not wanting to disappoint, immediately stated:
"I have just received news from the [Game Official] that this holy war, where the otherworldly demon race invades the Primordial Continent, is also a test for us territory lords."
"Therefore, as the leading territory lord, I cannot directly assist you!"
Hearing these words, Shi Tianqi, the lord of the Kuang Tie territory, was filled with shock.
This was because the [Game Official] only appeared when rewards were being issued.
Under normal circumstances, the [Game Official] was as aloof as a national spokesperson, unwilling to acknowledge them.
However, to his surprise, the [Game Official] treated Xiao Mo like an official customer service representative.
They would even share information that they were unaware of with Xiao Mo.
As the foremost among the territory lords, the [Game Official] truly cared for Xiao Mo.
At this moment, Shi Tianqi, the lord of the Kuang Tie territory, could no longer be envious.
He nervously asked, "If that's the case, what should we do?"
Shi Tianqi, the lord of the Kuang Tie territory,'s initial plan was to rely on the protection of the Immortal and Demon Empire.
Now, the Immortal and Demon Empire was so immense, its territory spanning almost one-tenth of the Primordial Continent.
However, their Immortal and Demon Legion and citizens combined did not exceed two million.
Therefore, Shi Tianqi, the lord of the Kuang Tie territory, believed that they, the territory lords, could enter the territory of the Immortal and Demon Empire.
Hide within and weather the first wave of the invasion by the otherworldly demon race.
But he had not expected Xiao Mo to now tell him that he could not directly provide assistance to the other territory lords.
This caused him to panic momentarily.
Xiao Mo also felt helpless at this moment. He initially didn't understand why the [Game Official] would suddenly say such a thing to him.
However, after some thought, he realized that this race war was, in essence, an internal matter among the territory lords.
Therefore, among these territory lords, there was a competitive relationship.
Yet, after a month of development, these territory lords had not engaged in intense conflict.
Instead, he, an anomaly, had developed exceptionally well, far surpassing the other territory lords.
Consequently, some of the remaining territory lords had formed alliances, while others had submitted to the current native divine systems.
Thus, the internal wars among territory lords were inexplicably resolved.
Furthermore, with the otherworldly demon race aiming to invade the Primordial Continent, they needed to regroup once more.
And it was through his powerful strength that they could achieve this. Thus, the [Game Official] might have perceived these intentions and made this decision.
Xiao Mo felt that these things were insignificant. Compared to other territory lords or divine systems who were terrified of the impending arrival of the otherworldly demon race, he was more excited. He was eager to witness the powerful otherworldly demon race and subdue them all.
Then, he would send them to develop in his own otherworldly domain.
He had a strong premonition that if they could overcome this crisis, he would receive an unexpected reward.
That reward might be...
Xiao Mo shook his head at this moment, dispelling the thought from his mind.
Meanwhile, Shi Tianqi, the lord of the Kuang Tie territory, saw Xiao Mo suddenly shake his head and misunderstood.
He trembled and said, "Great Xiao Mo, you're not going to abandon us, are you!?"
Xiao Mo immediately realized that Shi Tianqi, the lord of the Kuang Tie territory, had misinterpreted him.
He then explained, "Of course not. Moreover, I believe the reason the [Game Official] made this arrangement is because..."
Xiao Mo shared his conjecture with Shi Tianqi, the lord of the Kuang Tie territory.
Upon hearing this, Shi Tianqi, the lord of the Kuang Tie territory, suddenly had an epiphany.
"So that's how it is!"
Then, a worried expression crossed his face, "Then what should we do now?"
"We can't possibly let the [Game Official]'s desire to cultivate our 'wolf-like' culture and make us fight each other prevent us from cooperating this time, can we?"
Xiao Mo shook his head and smiled, "Since the [Game Official] did not send you a message, but only warned me, it must mean they cannot control you..."
