But they were simply too far apart, separated by the entire Pacific Ocean.

Otherwise, by directly devouring the North American Grey Wolf Pack, even if the Dark Era were to arrive now, their strength would be sufficient to cope with any possible changes!

However, Su Lin soon shook his head, dismissing such unrealistic thoughts and once again gazed over the newly acquired territory of the wolf pack with his pale blue wolf eyes. Stay tuned to empire

At the same time, he knew that the wolf pack must make use of these peaceful years to rapidly develop.

Whether it was the strength of the top Variant Species or the number of wolves, they had to achieve the greatest enhancement during this time.

.....

Time always flies in busy moments, and more than a month had passed in the blink of an eye.

Throughout this month, with the efforts of every part of the wolf pack, the defense-type palace on the Shangu and over eighty defensive fortifications were all completed.

They were invulnerable, such that even armor-piercing bullets and large-caliber shells would not cause a scratch.

Only the highest intensity laser weapons and Super Ionic Cannon Shells could cause some damage.

But even that would require intense and continuous bombardment and attacks!

Following the completion, Su Lin did not skimp on rewards for every department of the wolf pack.

During this time, the Flying Bird Tribe busied themselves transporting materials to the Shangu, the wolfesses were busy moving and guarding supplies, and Sander’s humans were busy building and so on.

One could say that during this time, every part of the wolf pack was working hard for the future peace and prosperity of their territory.

Among them, Sander’s humans were the busiest and most laborious, naturally making them the most meritorious.

So, Su Lin gave Sander and his humans the most rewards.

Sander, Tiffany, Vincent, and other human commanders were each granted three hundred pounds of Mad Thunder Skyhawk Flesh and two thousand pounds of Variant Species Flesh.

As for other human members, each was also granted a hundred grams of Mad Thunder Skyhawk Flesh and ten pounds of Variant Species Flesh.

Such rewards made Sander and his humans cheer excitedly, proclaiming, "Long live the Wolf King!"

Having experienced so much over such a long time, they had already fully identified with the wolf pack and had become the Wolf King’s most loyal followers.

For such a King, who was clear about rewards and punishments, was the one they had longed for in their dreams, having once suffered from exploitation and oppression.

As for the other parts of the wolf pack, the Arctic Fox, Wolf Clan, Bear Clan, Flying Bird Tribe, and so on all received plenty of Variant Species Flesh as rewards.

Red-tailed, Charm Fox, Cousin, Fox Wolf, Arctic Yan-Ou, Ferocious Falcon, Xiao Hui, Night Hawk, and others even obtained two hundred to a thousand pounds of Mad Thunder Skyhawk Flesh.

Among them, Red-tailed, Charm Fox, Fox Wolf, and Arctic Yan-Ou received the most.

Because their potential for growth was monstrously high, enabling them to absorb and utilize pure energy to its fullest extent.

During this time, all four of them had been busy with various tasks amidst their hectic schedules.

Especially Red-tailed and Charm Fox, who, with their spiritual power, not only supervised the quality of the palace construction but also helped transport a lot of materials.

Due to frequent use of Spiritual Soul Force, both Red-tailed and Charm Fox improved their control over spiritual power and thus advanced in strength.

Red-tailed broke through another genetic shackle within its body, reaching Level 26 in strength.

With its robust and adept Spiritual Soul Force, along with its Four Great Spiritual Type Talents, even the evolved New Species like Arctic Yan-Ou began to take it seriously,

wary of inadvertently falling to its tactics, since spiritual power is shadowless and formless, and most elusive.

Not to mention the existence of someone as terrifying as the Invincible Fierce Tiger.

Additionally, Charm Fox, in this short time, had broken through to the peak of Level 15, a hair’s breadth from reaching Level 16.

In less than three or four months, it had traversed a path that took almost two to three years for other Variant Species.

From this, one can see the frightening extent of Charm Fox’s potential for growth—how terrifying must the potential of those truly monstrous species at the very top of the world be?

If Su Lin, who relied merely on the ordinary genes of an Arctic Wolf, hadn’t been graced with the two buffs from Devouring Power and Genetic Metamorphosis, it would have been quite difficult to compete with these monsters.

Now, having reached the peak of Level 15, Charm Fox had awakened its second Talent, the Stealth Talent, ensuring its safety to the greatest extent.

Now that Charm Fox possessed these two Talents, it could be considered to have a primary self-preservation capability, no longer in need of Red-tailed’s constant worry.

As for Fox Wolf and Arctic Tern, having received the generous rewards of Mad Thunder Skyhawk Flesh, their strengths had also advanced to varying degrees.

The Fox Wolf’s strength had broken through to Level 21,

While the Arctic Tern, due to its higher level and robust strength, had only advanced to the Late Stage of Level 32.

With the power of its origin now within its grasp, another breakthrough required not just the nurture of more Origin Power within its body; its blood, bones, cells, and tendons all required a true metamorphosis, a complete renewal and regeneration.

If breaking the genetic limit meant becoming a Variant Species,

Then completely freeing oneself from genetic shackles signified the emergence of a New Species.

However, the promotion of a New Species needed an actual, complete transformation—the mundane flesh metamorphosing into the transcendental!

For a New Species of the level of the Mad Thunder Skyhawk, it likely only managed partway through the mundane metamorphosis before running into great adversity, surviving by self-sealed perseverance and clutching at straws.

As for what one would become after completing a true metamorphosis,

Su Lin had no idea!

But the path he tread was entirely different from these species,

Su Lin’s body was devoid of so-called shackles, nor would he undergo what is called mundane metamorphosis; so the further he went, the more apparent his advantages became.

All he needed was to devour the genetic flesh of one species after another, amassing it onto himself to become the strongest!

As long as he had enough strength, even if the Dark Era arrived, and the Myriad Tribes contended, so what?

He could still lead the Wolf Pack to supremacy, becoming the strongest hegemon in this world!

....

Holy Land!

This caused countless New Humans who venerated their own Holy Churches to start sincerely reciting their scriptures in their hearts.

....

In the West, beneath the main temple of the Church of Light, the Eighteen Layers of Hell also began to shake violently.

Black mists rose, as if exuding the demonic qi of a demon.

The many staff members were clueless as to what had transpired, panicking as they rushed to the Papal Hall, "Your Holiness, the Eighteen Layers of Hell are all shaking simultaneously; we don’t know what’s happening! We just recently cleared out all the prisoners from the Church inside; it should be completely empty in there!"

The Pope, clad in a golden clerical robe, though standing just over two meters tall, exuded domineering presence no weaker than humanity’s strongest, Andrea.

But even the mighty Pope, faced with the disturbance from the Eighteen Layers of Hell, simply closed his eyes and spoke in a deep voice, "I know, just let them be for a while."

Upon hearing such words, the staff member was dumbfounded on the spot.

Them?

Could it be that there really was something in the Eighteen Layers of Hell?

In an instant, a chill ran down the staff member’s back.

The headquarters’ main temple, which had always seemed sacred in his eyes, now felt eerie and terrifying.

....

Besides the strange occurrences in the West, more distant regions like the East and Black Continent were not tranquil either!

Within the Kunlun Mountains, a tremendous golden compass rose into the sky, shrouding the entire mountain range!

In the Changbai Mountains, on this day, a traveler claimed to have seen the Heaven Pond Sea Monster reappear in the human world, a dragon-like sea creature spanning a thousand kilometers, soaring among the clouds and mist!

At the Egyptian Pyramids, the eternal Sphinx’s eyes suddenly shot out beams of golden light, and even from within the pyramids, harrowing wails could be heard!

....

Yet these bizarre events all lasted for only a brief moment before dissipating.

All regions seemed to revert back to serenity at this moment,

And everything that had just happened appeared as though it were a mere illusion.

The source of all these stimuli, the ice crystal statue within the Mysterious Iceberg, also returned to normal,

No longer emitting any gleams of light, it resembled an ordinary and shattered ice sculpture.

The Lead Wolf of the Kinai Mountain Wolf, once having grayish-black fur, now experienced earth-shattering changes!
