The wolves, like a hungry beast, relentlessly devoured all the nutrients they encountered.
In just ten years, during which Mellen became the Wolf Lord, the overall size of the Wolf Clan increased several times over, and it continues to grow at an even more rapid pace.
After everything was sorted out, Mellen finally had some free time.
It's true that people are often driven to action. In order to reduce his workload, Murren racked his brains and recalled all the power structures he had memorized. After a lot of trial and error, he finally found the most convenient and effortless way to rule.
In addition, to save time, with the help of Xiao Yin, Mellen cracked some of the functions of the wolf-shaped pendant and created a beggar's version of the bloodline exploration device. Only then was Mellen truly freed from the tedious work.
In fact, during the era of the Council of Beasts, the Wolf Lord of the Wolf Clan was quite leisurely. In a universe where great power belonged to oneself, the pyramid-shaped ruling structure was always stable.
The reason why Mellen is so busy is mainly because the Wolf Clan is in dire need of rebuilding.
After the wolf clan got on track, Mellen said he had some free time, but he wasn't really idle. He wasn't sure how far the dragon's plan had progressed, so he needed to improve his strength more quickly.
However, the wolf clan is already growing very fast, and its potential has been fully realized. There is no room for further exploitation. If they want to improve further, they need to start from the outside.
However, Mellen knew of a force with immense potential, and bringing it under his command would be like adding wings to a tiger.
With that in mind, Mellen stopped being lazy and left the Wolf Lord's Secret Realm after giving a few simple instructions.
Over the course of ten years, although Mellen was busy with various affairs and didn't have much time to cultivate, his strength improved at a remarkable pace. Furthermore, as the Wolf Lord, he received the blessing of the entire wolf clan, allowing him to unleash even greater power in the Beast Universe.
Each step covered hundreds of light-years, and in just half a day, they traversed tens of thousands of light-years to reach their destination... the First Academy!
Indeed, the force that Melen thought of, with its immense potential, was the Academy Alliance.
The Academy Alliance has over three hundred top academies, each with anywhere from a dozen to several hundred subordinate branches. Its influence extends to tens of thousands of cities, with populations ranging from several million to over a hundred million, not to mention the countless outposts and settlements scattered throughout the region.
It can be said that the total population of the entire college alliance can reach the level of ten trillion.
Such a large number of humans is itself a powerful potential force, and the structure of the Academy Alliance can maximize the chances of geniuses standing out.
Mellen believes that as long as the Academy Alliance is given enough time to develop, and as long as the top decision-makers of the Academy Alliance do not collectively make stupid mistakes, the Academy Alliance will have a place on the grand stage of the Beast Universe in the future!
Now, Mellen is preparing to bring this force under his control ahead of schedule.
Mellen's thoughts silently infiltrated the First Academy along the spatial pathways. The First Academy's various defenses were completely ineffective until Mellen was discovered when he infiltrated a certain hidden place.
Tianyu suddenly opened his eyes and said with a serious expression, "Which friend is joking with me?"
A soft laugh came from Mellen: "Tianyu, long time no see. I have something I want to talk to you about. Shall we come out, or should I come in?"
Tianyu's face darkened, but after a brief moment of thought, he left the academy's secret realm to meet Mellen outside the academy.
However, upon meeting Mellen, the first thing Mellen said almost made Tianyu turn around and leave.
"Tianyu, become my underling!"
Chapter 756 Conquest (Happy New Year!)
Say goodbye to the old year and welcome the new spring.
Happy Chinese New Year to all my brothers! May you be blessed with good fortune, wealth, and happiness throughout the year!
The Universe of Myriad Beasts, the Domain of Endless Starfire, the Mysterious Phoenix Realm.
Deep within the Xuanfeng Secret Realm, on the throne of a palace guarded by numerous Xuanfeng phoenixes, sat a stunningly beautiful woman with unparalleled looks and an dignified bearing.
Xuanling, one of the three supreme beings in the universe of beasts, is the supreme god of the Xuanfeng clan.
Her eyes were as deep as the Milky Way and as lively as shooting stars, as if they could see into the past and future of all living beings. Her eyes were filled with endless wisdom, like a pearl in the abyss, mysterious and bright.
Her beauty is not just about her outward appearance, but also stems from her profound understanding of the laws of the universe.
Her face was the most exquisite painting in the world, with eyebrows like distant mountains and willow leaves, and eyes like autumn waters brimming with waves. With a smile, she seemed to be able to captivate all living beings.
Her temperament, however, was aloof and distant, like the lonely moon hanging in the boundless night sky, desirable but unattainable.
In this grand hall where time seemed to stand still, after an unknown amount of time, Xuanling suddenly asked calmly, "How are the preparations going?"
A flame ignited, and a valiant woman clad in phoenix armor knelt at Xuanling's feet, respectfully saying, "The turbulence of the cosmic rules has gradually stabilized, the preparatory phase for the fusion process is complete, and the full-scale plan can be launched at any time."
Xuanling's voice was ethereal as she continued, "What about our backup plan?"
The valiant woman's voice unconsciously softened as she cautiously said, "It's already finished."
After she finished speaking, a look of hesitation appeared on the valiant woman's face.
Xuanling naturally understood what his trusted subordinate was thinking, and said calmly, "Although our prepared backup plan will slow down the progress of the final plan to some extent, it is something we have to do. After all, the real struggle will only begin after the final plan is completed. At that time, it is still unknown who will be able to seize the greatest benefits from this feast of cosmic fusion."
"Moreover, the fusion of the universe is inherently full of unknown dangers. It is also very necessary to take precautions and ensure that the Xuanfeng clan does not suffer greater losses in the process."
"Do you think we're the only ones who've made similar preparations?"
The valiant woman respectfully replied, "Master, you must be right."
Xuanling waved his hand casually and said, "Go down. The time is about to come."
…………
Similar conversations also took place within the Ghost Tiger clan around the same time.
…………
The First Academy, the Academy's Secret Realm.
"You are the Wolf Lord of the Wolf Clan, one of the twelve divine beast clans of the Council of Beasts?"
"You've returned this time to bring the entire Academy Alliance under your rule?"
"Mere domination isn't enough? You also want to take all the human territories covered by the entire Academy Alliance and move them to the wolf clan's territory, tens of thousands of light-years away?!"
"Are you crazy or am I crazy?!"
Tianyu's face was almost contorted. If he hadn't just tried again and realized he was no match for the other, he would have loved to make intimate contact with the other's calm face with his own fist!
After Tianyu finished shouting, Mellen smiled and said, "Indeed."
Tianyu fell silent for a long time before weakly saying, "Lord Wolf, do you know how many people live in the human territories covered by the Academy Alliance?"
"Well, it should be over a trillion by now," Mellen said casually.
Tianyu said, enunciating each word clearly: "Three trillion four hundred billion!"
"Do you know how much manpower, resources, and money it would take to mobilize so many people to travel to an unfamiliar region? And that's tens of thousands of light-years away! Tens of thousands! Light-years!! Away!!!"
"Lord Wolf, do you even understand the difficulty involved?! Do you want trillions of humans to die on the way?!"
The smile on Mellen's face faded, and he said calmly, "Don't worry, I've thought of everything you can think of. Distance is not a problem, and you don't need to worry about being unaccustomed to the environment or being reluctant to leave your homeland. My plan is to relocate you all, including your houses, cities, land, and everything else, and bring it all over with you."
Tianyu stared blankly at Mellen, a question mark slowly appearing above his head, unable to properly understand the meaning of Mellen's words.
Mellen smiled slightly and said, "I'm here to inform you that there will be some changes on your side once we reach the Wolf Clan's territory. I will also send someone to contact you. The Academy Alliance only needs to cooperate with the management and publicity."
After issuing the notice, Mellen got up and left. Just as his figure was about to disappear into the academy's secret realm, a calm voice drifted out: "In the process of the wolf clan's expansion, all the monster clans they encountered had only two choices: to submit or to be destroyed."
"But don't worry, I'm generally more tolerant of humans."
Long after Mellen had left, Tianyu sighed helplessly. He naturally understood the meaning of Mellen's last words; it was both a reminder and a warning.
Tianyu composed himself and began issuing orders to the other academies in the alliance. Although he did not know what Mellen was planning to do, he understood that a tremendous change was about to occur, and if not handled properly, it could cause a chain reaction and result in huge losses.
While Tianyu was busy contacting the various academies in the alliance, Mellen strolled through the void, walking in the areas controlled by the academy alliance.
From Mellen's perspective, the entire region is dotted with cities, with large cities of hundreds of millions of people serving as nodes, extending outwards to medium and small cities. On the outskirts of these cities, there are countless smaller settlements.
The population of a settlement typically ranges from several hundred to several thousand, and they are primarily there to serve adventurers who venture out into the world.
Beneath the scattered stars, an aura of order surged forth and spread outwards, gradually expanding its influence.
After spending some time circling around the area controlled by the Academy Alliance, Mellen wore a satisfied smile.
Just as Mellen had initially envisioned, the Academy Alliance could indeed compensate for the Wolf Clan's shortcomings to some extent, and the combination of the two would definitely produce an effect greater than the sum of its parts.
With that thought in mind, Mellen no longer hesitated, and his figure gradually became ethereal, as if disappearing into the depths of space.
Mellen raised his hand and made a grasping motion, casually manipulating the spatial veins, multiplying them into hundreds, tens of thousands... The spatial veins expanded exponentially and extended outwards infinitely.
Therefore, the humans and monsters within the Academy Alliance's sphere of influence witnessed a strange scene.
High in the infinite sky, a huge rift suddenly opened up, and an invisible and intangible force, yet clearly perceptible, spread rapidly in all directions. Under the shroud of this force, the sky turned a hazy gray.
For ordinary people, and even for beast tamers with low skill levels, that's all there is to it; that's all they can observe.
But for those beast tamers who had reached a certain level of skill, what they saw was a scene that filled them with terror and even despair...
Beyond the world, a huge and blurry humanoid silhouette appeared. At first, this humanoid silhouette seemed to be in an extremely distant place, but in just a moment, the humanoid silhouette began to approach rapidly, and its size continued to grow.
When the humanoid silhouette came "nearby", it had completely transcended the limitations of the world. It simply stretched out its palm and held the entire world in its palm.
Fortunately, Tianyu notified them in time. The Academy Alliance had already issued a top-level order, indicating that a major change would occur in the Heaven and Earth Society in the near future. Although the Academy Alliance did not specify what the major change was in the order, it at least gave them some advance warning. Otherwise, most people who saw this scene would probably have collapsed and gone crazy on the spot.
Even now, doomsday rhetoric is rampant, and despite the efforts of the Academy Alliance and city administrators to maintain order, numerous disturbances continue to occur, and the situation is escalating.
Outside, the area that was originally under the influence of the Academy Alliance has been reduced to an endless abyss, and this area is now floating in Mellen's hand, like an exquisite... model.
Mellen resisted the urge to take a peek, after all, he could already sense the terror emanating from countless people in the palm space, and any additional stimulation at this moment would have unimaginable serious consequences.
These are all Mellen's future subordinates, so of course he has to be careful to protect them.
He then released spatial veins to fix the space in his palm before stepping out.
Because it carries a volume equivalent to roughly a hundred large worlds, moving around is certainly not as easy as it would be for someone to act alone.
However, after years of research, Mellen has become very familiar with the spatial network of the Beast Universe. Even if he is slower than when he acts alone, he is at least more stable.
At first, each step Mellen took only a few light-years, but after becoming familiar with the current load, the distance of each step increased to fifty light-years.
After more than ten days, they finally returned to the wolf territory without any major incidents.
After a simple calculation, Mellen chose a location to set up the Academy Alliance area and then notified the Wolf Clan to send someone to communicate with them.
The current academy alliance is a mess, and it will take a lot of effort just to calm the public's panic.
Moreover, the integration of the Wolf Clan and the Academy Alliance is not so simple. Even though Mellen and the Wolf Clan have an absolute advantage in military strength, they cannot put too much pressure on the Academy Alliance.
It is foreseeable that for a long time to come, the two sides will be filled with all sorts of conspiracies and schemes. This is a necessary step for them to pursue more benefits and to determine their future status.
However, these trivial matters do not require Mellen's personal concern. He only needs to determine the general direction. As for the infighting and power struggles among his subordinates, as long as they are within the scope of healthy competition, they are beneficial to the whole.
Struggle and adjustment.
Tianyu was very clever and quickly realized Melen's intentions. After understanding that Melen would not use his strength to force them, he also began to lead the academy alliance to take initiative, actively integrating into the wolf clan family while striving to gain more rights.
Time flies by in a blur, ten years... twenty years... thirty years...
A century has passed in the blink of an eye.
For ordinary people, twenty years is a generation, and one hundred years is the replacement of five generations.
After a century of integration and development, even though the Academy Alliance is a large organization, it has gradually been incorporated into the Wolf Clan's sphere of influence and become a part of the Wolf Clan.
The young geniuses of the new generation of humans are proud to be able to contract a wolf-type pet beast, and the beast tamer academies have also specially set up courses and research on taming wolf-type pet beasts.
With strong logistical support, the wolf clan's war potential was further unleashed. They prepared their troops and their claws and teeth, and wherever they went, there was only conquest and destruction.
Even the most radical radicals felt that the Wolf Clan's current actions were a bit too aggressive, and some suggested to Mellen that the war could be slowed down.
Murren readily accepted this, but after a few years of recuperation, he would launch a new round of conquests.
More and more monster clans are submitting to the wolf pack, driven by fear, resentment, or worship, each with their own agenda.
However, it doesn't matter. Neither Melen nor the wolf clan believes that these monster groups can cause any trouble.
Moreover, Meron's conquest of them was not to provide them with good food and drink, but to use them as vanguards and cannon fodder to conquer more territory and subjugate more tribes.
The only exception in this process is the wolf family.
Millions of years have passed since the cataclysmic events of the past. Any monster species that have survived to this day have undergone some adaptive evolution and have been subject to natural selection.
It can be said that every new wolf pack that joins the wolf pack is of great significance to the wolf pack.
In addition, during these hundred years, the wolf clan has encountered their old comrades from the Council of Beasts more than once. The wolf clan treats them the same as other monster clans, showing no mercy.
Thus, the rapid expansion of the wolf pack gradually came into the view of some beings.
The Endless Realm of Starfire, the Mysterious Phoenix Realm, the Throne Hall.
Looking at her subordinate reporting to her, Xuanling's eyes flashed with confusion: "You mean, the wolf clan?"
The valiant woman respectfully replied, "Yes, Master!"
"The wolf clan's reckless and frenzied expansion over the past century has resulted in them now occupying a vast territory, perhaps even rivaling their heyday."
After hesitating for a moment, the valiant woman asked, "The wolf clan are, after all, supporters of the Heavenly Dragon. Should we remind them?"
