Though they were all cannon fodder, they possessed significant utility.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Faride was in complete agreement with this approach; through such a method, they could realize what they needed to do next and what was best.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Rather than letting them slack off within the ranks, such confusion would inevitably increase the burden on their entire system and might even cause them to bear a very heavy concept.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Saint, I agree with your methods, but you must be careful. Never let them suffer too much despair. They are very friendly existences, and on some level, they can help us accomplish many things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As Faride spoke these words, he looked at Su Mo with an extremely candid expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He knew clearly that his attitude might not gain Su Mo’s approval, but it would certainly make Su Mo realize something at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yet, the matter before him seemed insignificant to Su Mo. In his view, once certain steps had reached such a stage, any further occurrences were unnecessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I will turn these drifters into the most powerful warriors and make them serve me. Faride, you need not worry. In one week’s time, I will also have you form an extra-budgetary command squad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After hearing Su Mo’s words, Faride’s complexion became quite bitter. With these drifters being commanded by Su Mo personally, one could only imagine how jealous he felt inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I think... these fellows need not trouble you to command them personally. If possible, I can handle them myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Faride’s heartfelt words revealed to Su Mo his determination to work together, but the Long-Haired Monster tribe required his maintenance; how could Su Mo interfere at will?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"You have your own things to do, and so do I. I hope the Long-Haired Monster tribe can become stronger under your adjustments, rather than being like this now. There is no future in you just sticking with me like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Su Mo’s words were not nonsense, but a truly solid existence. If he were to really stick with Su Mo, even if Faride improved, he would not be able to transmit these improvements to the Long-Haired Monster tribe.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But if he could personally lead the Long-Haired Monsters to do something together, it wouldn't be long before the Long-Haired Monsters became even more formidable, and could even handle many things in a more unilateral form.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Faride could only sigh helplessly. Facing the missed opportunity before him, he felt very helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After a trace of pain passed, he immediately adjusted his state to face the events that were about to occur.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In half a year’s time, under Su Mo’s leadership, the outer area had turned into a paradise. Outside the fortress built by the Pine Forest City-State, another thin wall had been erected.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>There was no problem in defending against enemies, but more importantly, Su Mo wanted to build this into a place for trade and commerce, which indeed required some effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Over the past six months, Su Mo had not chosen to conquer any opponents, but had done his utmost to build this into a true land of opportunity where one could pay and receive goods on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It was also the last remaining area on this planet. Soon, rumors began to spread across the planet about a city-state like Su Mo’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It possessed absolutely powerful military strength and absolutely abundant resources, trading with some of the more powerful merchant caravans and empires on this planet!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Even some specialized merchant caravans came by reputation and stationed themselves in the outer area Su Mo had created. These caravans paid high protection fees as the price.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>They hoped Su Mo would protect them, and they were willing to provide the best gemstones and defensive weapons for Su Mo’s military and personnel.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>With the addition of these merchants, Su Mo was now like a tiger that had grown wings. These merchants had a large group of skilled master craftsmen under them.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>These old artisans would use various methods to weave protective shields and soft armor suitable for his warriors to wear.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This greatly enhanced the melee strength of the close-combat warriors and also enriched the weapons on multiple levels, allowing elemental warriors to use weapons slightly imbued with elemental attack power.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After such a series of major processes, for Su Mo, he now had the full strength to lead his people to attack outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although his subordinates were not particularly numerous, each one had become an existence capable of taking on ten.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Under such circumstances, what did he have to fear? Was he afraid of being ambushed by enemies or facing them head-on? Not at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The people who should be afraid now were those legendary existences similar to empires; their strength was the most pathetic... ........\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>To be honest, relying solely on their methods, they had no way to compare with Su Mo head-on, and as time passed,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>they would lose miserably. Su Mo now only needed to continuously plunder the wealth of this planet through trade and commerce.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Why was Su Mo so interested in wealth? Because he discovered that the powerful energy of these plundered gemstones could help him restore the World Will most effectively, and could even allow the Long-Haired Monsters’ intelligence to be further enhanced.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The restoration of the World Will was naturally a good thing, but the enhancement of the Long-Haired Monsters’ intelligence brought them to an extremely supreme state.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Each of them became extremely artistic, appeared quite sincere when doing things, and would always try to probe Su Mo’s thoughts through various methods.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Faride also felt a bit helpless. Was it because they were idle? But soon he told these people where the upcoming battles would appear.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Pine Forest City-State had already begun corresponding actions according to Su Mo’s methods. When doing things, they almost reached an extreme level.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>They had no intention of expanding, continuously building walls, and also continuously making everything they possessed more ferocious than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Pine Forest City-State had fully reached the opportunity to expand outward and continue to acquire large tracts of land, but Su Mo did not do so, because Su Mo had some very special thoughts in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Not only was he making the merchant caravans in the outer city-state curious about him, but he was also able to obtain a large number of gemstones from their hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It was within these past two days that Su Mo had once again come into contact with some more magical fellows; they could also be called existences from another world.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Why did Su Mo describe it this way? It was because when these fellows communicated with him,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>their state was very unusual, as if they were deliberately rejecting him and did not want to communicate with him. This truly made Su Mo feel a bit amused. Rejecting him? They had grown some guts.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Facing such strange things, Su Mo did not think much, but instead compressed some power upon them, making them realize that rejection meant facing the oppression of life!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But what Su Mo never expected was that these merchant caravan people were not afraid of him at all. On the contrary, they developed a great interest in him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It was as if they were thinking every day about what they could obtain by relying on their own strength. But was this a good thing? No one knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Some of the leaders of the merchant caravans even wanted to meet him. There was no other way; they had to meet. Su Mo didn't think much and communicated with them directly with his own attitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Now, the hall of the Pine Forest City-State was no longer like it was before. In other words, it was now very magnificent and possessed all kinds of mysterious and unbelievable things.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The leaders of the merchant caravans had never thought that one day they would be able to see such existences that astonished them to the extreme.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Perhaps they had forgotten that the purpose of this trip was to communicate effectively with Su Mo, and were instead intoxicated by the mystery brought to them by every part of the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"If you have anything to say to me, speak up early. Don't wait until the end when we are both in a passive position to communicate. If that happens, our exchange will lose the meaning of our meeting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After Su Mo spoke these words to the leaders of the merchant caravans, these leaders all appeared very calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>They knew what Su Mo was thinking, and they also knew that when communicating with Su Mo, some things would inevitably happen!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Su Mo’s voice not only attracted these merchant leaders but also aroused their absolute curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Because they had never seen an existence as powerful as Su Mo. This was a feeling that made them feel very worried yet also immensely oppressed in their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Then you must be the Saint that everyone talks about, right? Truly, hearing about you a hundred times is not as good as seeing you once. Only after seeing an existence like you in the true sense did I know that what they said was so correct.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After hearing this fellow’s speech, Su Mo laughed instead. Wasn't this just buttering him up?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Just say what you have to say. Don't make things so agonizing for me, as if I had humiliated you like never before after gathering you all here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Su Mo was a person who liked to get straight to the point, and his attitude was indeed much more serious than others.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I can see that you didn't come to me just for some trivial matters, but for your own interests, right? These interests are very important to you, and can even make you rich, correct?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Su Mo was so direct. After hearing this, the leaders of the merchant caravans all appeared thoughtful. They came to cooperate, and they were more willing to spend a lot of money to hire some warriors from Su Mo to protect them.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Saint, you are a very correct existence. You are right. We are indeed here to cooperate with you, but at the same time, we have more thoughts in our hearts; we want to exchange some resources from you. I wonder if you are willing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The merchant caravan captain seemed to have some other thoughts about Su Mo, because he felt that Su Mo’s power and what he currently possessed could be integrated into his own affairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If he could borrow strength well, perhaps he could get Su Mo to help him fulfill many of his remaining wishes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But he knew that doing so was purely asking for humiliation, because one could tell from Su Mo’s expression that Su Mo seemed very uninterested in him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"You are a person who knows how to speak, and on some level, I can feel the pain in your heart. Friend, you must know that I have no desire to govern you, but don't get in my way, understand?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After Su Mo spoke, his attitude remained firm. From another perspective, Su Mo’s purpose was not to communicate with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It was to take some things that belonged to his own control, to make these fellows submit to him bit by bit, and to have the interests of these merchants completely recorded in his own hands. This was what was most important.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This was also the reason why he was so rigorous now. He believed that these merchants would eventually reach a goal with him, and then both sides could cooperate together.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Having such thoughts was certainly good, but whether things would fly toward the state Su Mo imagined next, not many people knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But now, Su Mo remained very calm, because he knew that miracles would inevitably happen under certain conditions, and these merchant caravans would also cooperate with him for this reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>His thoughts were very friendly, and the existence of the merchant caravan before him also seemed to want to communicate with Su Mo about this matter again. He hoped that Su Mo could be like him, adjusting his mindset over some small matters and not being so angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"What kind of existence you are, I think the whole world must know. Because of your sudden appearance, the structure of this world has been disrupted, and those who do not submit to you will inevitably suffer the baptism of death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After an elderly merchant leader finished these words, he looked at Su Mo coldly. There was a lot of agony in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Because he knew his words might very well provoke Su Mo to extreme anger. But what he never expected was that Su Mo appeared very calm and indifferent, not caring about it at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It seemed that redundant events were once again being led to a dangerous state before Su Mo, but Su Mo was also clear about such a situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It was not that everything could be as smooth as he thought in his heart; more threats would occur. Some people had long wanted to mess with him in the dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But he had never had the chance. Now the opportunity had come, and he could play out vicious things at any time.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"You merchants are not as honest as I see. I can clearly feel that some of you fellows really want to kill us too, but the opportunity doesn't allow you to do so, so you don't dare to do it, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After Su Mo spoke to this point, his expression had become much crazier than before. He had been desperately searching.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Chr\u002F>\u003Cp>\u003Cem>— Author's Notes —\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>·· ········Seeking flowers·· ·\u003C\u002Fp>",2297,"2026-06-16T01:53:47.872Z","2026-06-17T08:49:03.971Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","e554e478d1c9542846ded4c7cbd7526d7e5961e18eb9046d293e41b2e26cf3cb","i-became-a-demon-god-yet-you-want-me-to-be-the-v-chapter-528","i-became-a-demon-god-yet-you-want-me-to-be-the-v-chapter-526",551,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-became-a-demon-god-yet-you-want-me-to-be-the-v-cover.jpg"]
