Su Lin appointed trusted allies as feudal lords and concluded the investiture ceremony, distributing numerous town lord and feudal town titles. The most surprising conferral was the Bright Day Star System, granted to an unknown Sun Emperor, with promises of autonomy. Despite the uproar and questions surrounding this decision, the Wolf Lord's authority was unquestioned. The ceremony ended with the establishment of eleven Great Army groups and eleven major feudal town clusters, solidifying the Wangshu Zone's military structure.

With the conclusion of this grand sealing ceremony, the foundational military framework for the Wangshu Zone was essentially solidified.

Following this, Su Lin initiated a private summons for Sander once more.

Within the Sky Wolf System, there were currently over three thousand First-Class Life Planets and more than four hundred Second-class Life Planets under their dominion. When the recently promoted scattered moons were accounted for, the Sky Wolf System now possessed the equivalent of four suns gracing its skies.

Consequently, Su Lin issued instructions to Sander for another comprehensive transformation of the Sky Wolf System.

This place was designated to be the future nexus of the entire Wangshu Zone, necessitating defenses that would surpass even those of the Dazzling Star and Golden Sun Star systems.

For this ambitious undertaking, Su Lin earmarked one trillion resources from the Emperor Pavilion. Additionally, Sand Fox was tasked with contributing one trillion from the Wangshu Trading City, while the Wolf Pack Civilization's own resource reserves would supply another two trillion.

In total, a staggering sum exceeding four trillion immense resources was allocated.

This colossal figure gave Sander pause, making him hesitant to voice his thoughts.

Sander understood that the entirety of the Wangshu Zone was not yet in a condition conducive to large-scale construction projects.

However, Sander remained unaware that the stability of governance often held greater value than rapid development.

It was paramount at all times to ensure the headquarters stood as an unbreachable fortress!

After setting aside four trillion for the reconstruction of their headquarters,

Su Lin also centered his focus, commencing the process of devouring the Blazing Flame Ink, the Essence of Flesh and Blood from the Black Fourth Heavenly Lord, Heavenly Boundary Mark, soul bone, and other such invaluable items!

It wasn't just Su Lin; once the entire Wolf Pack Civilization achieved a state of stability, all its members would enter an extended period of rest and recuperation.

And it was during this crucial phase of recovery and respite that

further news emerged from the Wolf Pack Civilization Headquarters.

It was announced that the Wolf Lord had consented to an alliance marriage with the Black Gold Demon Clan. However, the Wolf Lord would not personally attend this union.

Instead, the Shadow of Plague would represent them!

Possessing unparalleled talent and the revered Royal Bloodline, the Shadow of Plague was deemed a most suitable match for the Demon Race Saintess of the Black Gold Demon Clan.

This arrangement was intended to assist Charm Fox, the Shadow of Plague, and the Phantom Army, utilizing this grand celebration as a catalyst to swiftly extricate themselves from their past shadows.

After all, time was of the essence.

If they remained mired in their past struggles for an extended period, both Charm Fox and the Shadow of Plague, two prodigious talents within the Wolf Pack, would inevitably stagnate, never advancing beyond the rank of ordinary War Kings!

This joyous occasion quickly became the most talked-about event following the submission of the various Vassal Towns.

Numerous vassal towns and military factions dispatched congratulatory gifts, fostering a sustained atmosphere of festivity within the Phantom Army's domain for quite some time.

This indeed made Charm Fox, the Shadow of Plague, and the entire Phantom Army feel deeply valued, reigniting their dormant sense of pride.

Fueled by this renewed pride, the Phantom Army finally began to emerge from the oppressive cloud that had loomed over them.

With their spirits lifted, Su Lin allocated additional top-tier resources from the Emperor Pavilion, enabling Charm Fox, the Shadow of Plague, and the Demon Race Saintess to utilize them for their personal enhancement.

Subsequently,

as all the vassal towns and military groups of the Wolf Pack Civilization across the Wangshu Zone transitioned into a prolonged period of rest and recovery, the Wolf Lord also established a system for ranking these vassal towns.

Any vassal town that contributed sufficient resources or demonstrated rapid growth in its Exotic Beast population and combat strength would be awarded military merits.

The Exotic Beasts previously selected by the Wolf Pack Civilization for administrative roles found renewed purpose in this new system.

This initiative significantly bolstered the influence and decision-making power of governance-oriented Exotic Beasts, along with many human sages.

During these tranquil years of rest and recovery, time elapsed with astonishing swiftness!

A million years vanished in the blink of an eye!

One million years!

For the Wolf Pack Civilization, whose origins traced back to Earth, this represented an almost incomprehensible span of time.

This period, exceptionally long as it was, witnessed the emergence of thousands of generations of newly born Ancestor Level Exotic Beasts!

Given exceptional talent, an individual could ascend to the Ancestor Level within mere thousands of years, a truly rare occurrence.

Consequently, over the course of this million-year epoch, the entire Wolf Pack Civilization gradually began to forget the brutal realities of past warfare.

Within the Wolf Pack Civilization itself, numerous powerful offspring, born from deeds of merit, had surfaced, causing ripples of unrest in various vassal towns.

As such an extended period passed, with the exception of the veteran soldiers who had served alongside the Wolf Pack Civilization and still harbored faint recollections of the horrors of war, nearly all the new-generation Exotic Beasts and military forces had forgotten.

Having been born into this era, for them, the Wolf Pack Civilization was an immutable, supreme Overlord, devoid of any perceived threats or concerns.

In their eyes, they were the architects of their own celestial dynasty.

However, throughout this million-year interval, countless remarkable prodigies undeniably emerged within the Wangshu Zone.

However, these remarkably gifted individuals vanished mysteriously upon reaching the Venerable realm!

This absence of overwhelming prodigies paved the way for many offspring of privilege and high standing within the Wangshu Zone to grow increasingly audacious.

Su Lin, accompanied by Sand Fox, silently documented this unfolding situation. No commands were issued for the Shadow Army Group to purge these dissolute individuals.

For, as the Wolf Pack Civilization reached a certain scale, Su Lin had come to grasp that internal troublemakers, degenerates, and corrupt elements often possessed their own utility.

Whether they were designated to shoulder blame or, during crucial conflicts, their lives and bloodshed could serve to invigorate the morale of common species and forces within the Wangshu Zone, they held practical value.

Hence, this explains Su Lin's sustained, detached observation without any overt actions.

Moreover, over the span of a million years, even as the Shadow Army Group scrutinized and maintained order among various subordinate towns, numerous stationed Exotic Beasts, Commanders, War Generals, War Kings, and others couldn't help but adopt the indifferent attitude of a distant ruler.
