After Su Lin reflected for a moment, his aura gradually retracted inward.

The fluorescence that had illuminated the entire Southern Territory Mountains returned to Su Lin’s body, and everything seemed as if nothing had happened.

However, the Wolf King’s recent show of might still lingered in the hearts of all exotic beasts within the Fifteen Faction of the Wolf Pack.

The Grassland Wolf King, Cold Cicada King, Giant Sheep King, and Shadow Insect, which originally harbored certain other thoughts, now completely abandoned those ideas from their minds.

They even felt as if they had survived a great calamity, for how could such a powerful Wolf King, even when grievously injured, be someone they could take advantage of?

At this time, Su Lin, still on the mountaintop, also discovered in his reflection that once the Source of Demonic left the wolf body and entered the outside world, it would become a mass of Demonic Substance without consciousness.

This Demonic Substance and Divine Substance share a unique parallel in their mysteries.

Both contain a large amount of Pure Energy, Rule Power, and Vitality, and they can also be mixed with Origin Power and Spiritual Will, falling into a state of extended deathlike stillness.

As for how to revive these substances, Su Lin did not fully understand in the short term.

However, he already had a rough understanding of how those once ultimate species managed to cling to life.

Yet, the price paid for such a feeble prolonged existence was beyond imagination.

If Su Lin himself faced that day, he would rather die in battle than live such a lingering, meager existence.

Beyond that,

Su Lin also roughly speculated that after the evolution from New Species to Ancestral Species, there should be a divergence.

A part of Ancestral Species would develop a Source of Divinity within their bodies.

The Divine Substance evolved from the Source of Divinity contains more Life Essence and less rule material, which can greatly enhance the Vitality of the Ancestral Species.

If the Divine Substance is abundant to a certain extent, then the Vitality may very well rival the Healing Talent,

Regenerating bones and reviving the dead might not be impossible.

On the other hand, a different part of the Ancestral Species, like Su Lin, would develop a Source of Demonic within their bodies.

The Source of Demonic contains more Rule Power and greater lethality, being relatively more attuned to killing and combat!

However, all these were only guesses in Su Lin’s mind; he would have to verify them when he actually encountered other Ancestral Species in the future!

While guessing, time also gradually passed.

During this period, a vast Spiritual Wave emanated from the mountaintop, signaling Red-tailed, Sander, Grassland Wolf King, Fox Wolf, Charm Fox, Arctic Yan-Ou, Invincible Fierce Tiger, and others to come.

For with the recovery of Su Lin’s injuries, it was time for the Fifteen Faction of the Wolf Pack, which had been quiet for over two months, to make some moves.

Great Russia, meng Country, and the Arctic Tundra!

In the future, Su Lin planned to completely integrate these three major regions into the Wolf Pack’s territory, and perhaps he would even rename this vast and boundless continent!

At this time, following Su Lin’s signal through Spiritual Wave, the Commanders and deputies of the Fifteen Faction of the Wolf Pack also rushed to the top of Saraiel Mountain.

The Commanders and their deputies of the Fifteen Faction of the Wolf Pack were basically the strongest beings of each Tribe, with most having evolved to the New Species level.

Even the rapidly advancing One-Eyed Wolf was among them!

Before the apocalyptic disaster, it, which had been granted a large amount of New Species flesh and blood, also experienced steady growth in Level and combat power during this period.

The One-Eyed Wolf had already broken through to Level 31 half a month ago, awakening into a New Species.

A higher level upon awakening into a New Species means a smoother journey on the path of the New Species.

But the One-Eyed Wolf, without the heaven-defying Talent and accumulation of Little Lone Wolf, had no need to suppress its transformation.

Ascending to New Species at Level 31 gave it, perhaps still requiring substantial effort and strength to progress in the path of New Species,

Yet with the Origin Power that came with becoming a New Species, it also meant having the capital to establish itself in this era after the apocalyptic disaster.

In the current era, only King Beasts with the mysterious Origin Power had a glimpse of hope for survival.

All those below the King Beasts were considered as mere ants in a chaotic world.

After the One-Eyed Wolf had transformed into a New Species, the entire Fifteen Faction of the Wolf Pack only had Sander and Vincent left among the humans who had not yet successfully transformed.

But this was within Su Lin’s expectations.

Although Sander and Vincent had good Talent, it was not to the extent of being heavenly or monstrous.

Moreover, with humans having been the dominant species on Earth for tens of thousands of years, their intrinsic genes had long since degenerated,

So, even though they were transforming into New Humans, their evolutionary speed was not optimistic compared to other Mutated Creatures.

It seems that only the most monstrous top geniuses among humans could have an evolutionary pace comparable to the Mutated Creatures.

But Sander and Vincent, equipped with Perfect Level Mech Armor, despite having only Level Twenty-Eight or Nine in combat attributes, could still suppress King-level beings in combat power, not falling behind by much.

As the Commanders of the Fifteen Faction of the Wolf Pack arrived at the top of Saraiel Mountain, Su Lin, who was multitasking, swept a look at their Attribute Panels after briefly sensing their Spirits through Spiritual Wave,

and signaled the Fifteen Faction of the Wolf Pack to start reporting on the situations of their respective Tribes.

At the same time, he also asked Red-tailed and Arctic Yan-Ou to report on the reconnaissance carried out during this period.

The Fox Tribe and the Flying Bird Tribe had become specialized branches of the Wolf Pack for reconnaissance missions.

Variant Species Fox Clan had the most natural fur camouflage and the ability to contain their aura, and even the members of the Variant Species Fox Clan were not large in size.

Consequently, the Fox Tribe became the best land branch for reconnaissance.

The Flying Bird Tribe, relying on air supremacy and the sharpest vision, became the best aerial scouts.

Many powerful Variant Species Birds had eyesight more precise and sharp than radar.

With these two branches carrying out reconnaissance, the Wolf Pack could obtain all the information they needed, second only to humanity’s all-encompassing Starlink surveillance before the apocalypse!

Amid the reports of the Commanders of the Fifteen Faction of the Wolf Pack, Su Lin, who was multitaskingly scanning their Attribute Panels, prepared them for the tasks ahead.

After all, these various commanders before him are characters destined to conquer territories on their own in the future, so he naturally pays them more attention.

In Su Lin’s investigations, the strongest was still the Grassland Wolf King!

As the overlord who independently raised a Grassland Wolf Pack of over two hundred thousand, the Grassland Wolf King was undoubtedly an exotic beast like an eagle among birds with Talent, Strength, Ambition, Methods, and Mindset that had no weaknesses.

However, the incident not long ago where the Grassland Wolf King and other exotic beasts like the Cold Cicada King showed some signs of rebellion was still vivid in memory.

Such behavior is something that even the most magnanimous of tribal leaders would not easily forget.

Therefore, even though the Grassland Wolf King was the first to come back to the fold, and even though he acted with utmost trepidation in the days that followed, Su Lin still harbored some reservations in his heart.

For such a being without any weaknesses, one that could stand alone just like the Little Lone Wolf, Su Lin originally wanted to give it more.

Not just solely the power over the Wolf and Wolfess factions!

But after that incident, Su Lin would no longer allow the Grassland Wolf King too much power.

Even if he remained loyal to the Wolf Pack in the future, having control over just the Wolfess and Wolf factions would be the limit.

Before the apocalyptic catastrophe, the Grassland Wolf King was rewarded with a lot of New Species flesh and Remnants of the Bright Sun for leading his pack to submit to the Wolf Pack.

Over these two months, by consuming these forms of Pure Energy, its strength also progressed somewhat.

It reached Level 52 mid-stage!

For an exotic beast like the Grassland Wolf King to advance a Level in two months without a bloody battle already indicated its monstrous potential.

Beyond the Grassland Wolf King, the Cold Cicada King, Giant Sheep King, Shadow Insect, and three other newly-submitted tribal commanders also saw significant progress in strength.

Among them, the Cold Cicada King reached the late stages of Level 51, the Giant Sheep King mid-stage of Level 45, and the Shadow Insect the late stages of Level 42.

They all possessed strength that could look down upon most of the exotic beasts in the Wolf Pack, so it was no surprise that they had ambitious thoughts previously.

But now, facing the Wolf King who had regained his Peak strength and even gone a step further, those fleeting thoughts had already become their greatest psychological burden.

Fearing that the Wolf King might become displeased at any moment and execute them as food for the Wolf Pack.

Fortunately for them, the Wolf King merely glanced over them and didn’t pay too much attention.

Apart from these four, the rest of the commanders and deputies of the Wolf Pack had also made no small progress.

Red-tailed reached the Peak of Level 35, and his Traceback Talent broke through to "A" Level,

Now with the Five Major Spiritual Talents, Red-tailed could threaten even common Extreme King Level exotic beasts.

Charm Fox reached mid-stage Level 34 and, aside from the Charm Talent, awakened another heaven-defying Talent.

Disaster of Beauty!

This Talent could produce Charm Poison, which was a group affliction,

Once within the body, the mind would fall into disarray, leading to self-inflicted harm!

Once deployed in group battles, its power was no less than Wolf Sister’s Plague Banquet!

Moreover, the infected exotic beast would continuously have its Qi-Blood, Spiritual Soul Force, Origin Power, etc., stripped away, ceaselessly providing them for the caster of Disaster of Beauty to dramatically boost the caster’s battle power.

Such a Talent was truly monstrous.

Because in large-scale group battles, the more Mutated Creatures infected with Charm Poison, the more Qi-Blood, Spiritual Soul Force, and Origin Power Charm Fox would receive.

Such an abundance of Qi-Blood, Spiritual Soul Force, and Origin Power, it’s hard to imagine to what degree it could elevate Charm Fox’s temporary battle power!

This clearly was a group disruption Talent, yet it was more twisted than any enhancement Talent!

If the number of Mutated Creatures infected by the Charm Poison were enough, even Su Lin’s Hunting Talent and the Little Lone Wolf’s Ferocious Wolf Talent might not be able to compete with the boost from Disaster of Beauty.

Therefore, with such heaven-defying Talent after Talent and coupled with its growth potential far surpassing other members of the Wolf Pack, even Su Lin had to take serious notice of Charm Fox!

A being like Charm Fox only had the drawback of awakening as a Variant Species for too short a time.

Otherwise, among the ultimate beings of this world, Charm Fox would undoubtedly have a place!

Su Lin’s gaze lingered on Charm Fox for a long time, but eventually, it slowly moved to the other commanders of the Wolf Pack, probing the Strength Attributes of the other commanders.

Warm Bear reached the late stages of Level 35, and the parasitic Ink Blood Caltrop Fruit reached Level 43.

Xiao Bai gradually recovered from the grief of her partner’s death, reaching Level 30.

Ice Bear reached the initial stages of Level 33 and had long since transformed into a New Species.

Arctic Tern’s rise in power continued to be very swift over this period, reaching the late stages of Level 39 and, with its heaven-defying Destined Talent, could rival Extreme King Beasts in a fight to the death.

Furthermore, Arctic Yan-Ou had autonomous rights over its Tribe, storing up a large amount of Pure Blood Food.

With these reserves of Pure Blood Food, aside from the Arctic Tern, the advancement pace of the many King Beasts under the Flying Bird Tribe was also not slow.

Night Hawk reached the late stages of Level 34.

The once gravely wounded Flying Leopard, after being healed by other Healing Talents in the Wolf Pack, reached mid-stage Level 34.

Invincible Fierce Tiger, having weathered the blood battles in the Great Russia Kingdom Capital and with the Ghost Cat Demon, reached Level 44 and was getting closer to the Half-Step Annihilation level strength.

The King-level Wild Buffalo reached the late stages of Level 35.

Meanwhile, as Su Lin was multitasking in his inspection, time also quietly slipped by.
