Chapter 2085: Chapter 1157: The Strongest Marquis in the Undead Holy Church!
A few hours later,
the area once again returned to calm and serenity.
The Sovereign of the Undead Holy Church had also completed his final Fatal Strike against the Blazing Flame Leader.
He was well-versed in Soul Spirit methods; even the simple prohibitions the Blazing Flame Leader set up at the last moment were all broken by him.
However, although he Soul Searched the resources gained from this auction, and obtained the location of the intelligence previously tracked down, when it came to the true core spy network of the "Unspeakable," he simply could not access it.
The prohibitions involved here were far, far stronger than those the Blazing Flame Leader had hastily set down in the name of the "Unspeakable."
When the Sovereign of the Undead Holy Church tried to break these prohibitions, even his True Body and Origin were reflected back.
This meant that once it touched the top-secret matters of the "Unspeakable," it indeed triggered a backlash.
Even Su Lin had not detected this kind of restrictive method in advance.
Most likely, not even the Blazing Flame Leader knew that such prohibitions had been quietly placed upon him.
Fortunately, this Cause and Effect truly ended up being borne by the Sovereign of the Undead Holy Church.
"Wolf Lord, a fine move. With these resources, the Wolf Pack Civilization can save itself the accumulation of nearly one Era."
After Su Lin retrieved over nine hundred trillion in resources from the secret reserve point pre-hidden by the Blazing Flame Leader, along with the current intelligence on the entire Blazing Nebula Force, the Sovereign of the Undead Holy Church could no longer help but take this unpredictable, ambitious hero before him seriously.
Bold, meticulous, and extremely decisive.
On the surface, he had rescued the Blazing Flame Leader, thereby leaving behind a good reputation; even when the higher-level "Unspeakable" traced this matter in the future, he might very well leverage this act to reap some benefits.
But in truth, he had gathered all interests and resources into his own hands.
Not only had he used this to win him over, he had also pushed the entire Cause and Effect of killing the Blazing Flame Leader onto him.
Of course, the Sovereign of the Undead Holy Church was also willing to bear this Cause and Effect.
He fully intended to slaughter all the treacherous villains and conspiratorial forces that had once betrayed the Blazing Flame Clan and ruined the great situation of the Blazing Nebula.
For the good in this Starry Sky must not be buried by evil.
"Mm. But these resources will not be counted toward the future development of the Wolf Pack Civilization. From here on out, it will depend on your administration."
As for the Sovereign of the Undead Holy Church, Su Lin did not consider him a natural talent in governance.
But he was willing to grant him a stage.
Because Su Lin valued the various inheritances, secret techniques, Battle Formations, tactics, and so on related to the Blazing Flame Clan that he carried; these could all be used to swiftly arm the Wolf Pack Civilization.
Furthermore, with the governance policies once employed by the Blazing Flame Clan, Su Lin felt that applying them to the Wolf Pack Civilization in the future should not go far wrong.
After all, in the various Vassal Towns today, phenomena such as taking orders but not obeying edicts, hoarding troops, and mutual friction had already appeared.
This signified that harsh, iron-blooded means suited for wartime might still work.
But if applied in a time of peace and stability, they were destined to give rise to widespread grievances among the populace.
Perhaps, backed by powerful armed force and military might, these newly born Exotic Beasts could not rebel for the time being,
but the seeds would one day ignite a prairie fire when the empire declined.
Thus, Su Lin was already considering reform.
Now that he had the Sovereign of the Undead Holy Church, he had just the sharp blade he needed for his internal reforms.
"Very well. Since I have agreed to join the Wolf Pack Civilization for three Eras, then within these three Eras I will surely exert my full efforts for the Wolf Pack Civilization. During these three Eras, I shall be only the State Preceptor of the Wolf Pack Civilization, and no longer the former Sovereign of the Undead Holy Church."
After this declaration of stance from Chi Hun’s Spiritual Will, Su Lin merely nodded faintly. Then the two of them transcended time and space; in just two or three minutes they went from near the Star Core to the Wangshu Zone.
In a brief two or three minutes, crossing a distance of two or three thousand light-years, this Speed surpassed even Chi Hun’s Peak Speed of former days.
It was nearly beyond the limits of time and space themselves.
This made the strange light and delight in Chi Hun’s eyes toward this Wolf Lord before him grow ever stronger.
Next,
when Su Lin returned to the Sky Wolf System, he publicly announced that he had hired a Star Core strategist to serve as State Preceptor of the Wolf Pack Civilization.
The strategist’s codename was Compassion.
In the future, the State Preceptor would be responsible for the Wolf Pack Civilization Headquarters and the administrative affairs, livelihood, resource production, and reserves of the eleven great clusters of Vassal Towns.
It could be said that aside from military matters, the State Preceptor possessed absolute authority second only to the Wolf Lord.
Once this declaration was made, the previously calm Wangshu Zone instantly churned with waves.
For the Wolf Pack Civilization had never had a State Preceptor.
Now, one had appeared out of thin air, with such vast authority—it was utterly shocking.
This was equivalent to overseeing all the administrative affairs of the Wangshu of The World, naturally stirring up much gossip.
Rumors spread that this State Preceptor was a peerless female whose beauty and bearing had ensnared even the Wolf Lord, and that was why she had parachuted into such supreme power.
Many War Generals and War Kings also raised objections, namely that this State Preceptor had established no merits whatsoever—on what basis should he stand atop such supreme authority?
Of course, there was also a group of clever Exotic Beasts who keenly smelled the Wolf Lord’s intent to reform the internal affairs of the Wolf Pack Civilization, and thus they hurriedly ordered their nine clans and the forces under their command to behave themselves in the near term.
Especially many of the veteran generals who had fought by the Wolf Lord’s side to conquer The World—they all knew the Wolf Lord’s disposition.
Once, during the period of reform, someone happened to touch his bad side, it was destined that blood would flow like rivers and heads would roll.
In short, with the appearance of the State Preceptor,
the entire interior of the Wolf Pack Civilization began to undergo various changes of its own.
