Please be my partner.

Therefore, human forces in various regions still have to rely on themselves.

However, as long as humanity continues to develop, one day all forces will gradually converge, and at that time, humanity's footprints will once again be found throughout the entire universe of beasts.

In three days, Melen traveled nearly 30,000 light-years and arrived at the White-maned Wolf's den.

Unfortunately, despite searching the entire area, Mellen couldn't find any trace of the white-maned wolf.

This might mean that the latter has already...?

Shaking his head, Mellen continued toward the Wolf Lord's Secret Realm.

Along the way, Melen encountered many secret realms, but some of them were empty, either because they were originally devoid of life or because the life within them had long since turned to dust; some of them contained weak life forms that were out of place in the main world; and some of them had already been opened, and the life forms within them had come to the main world and were beginning to adapt to the new rules.

Mellen did not interfere with any of these matters and continued to complete the established goals step by step.

Several more days passed, and Mellen finally arrived at the location of the Wolf Lord's Secret Realm.

According to the records in the Stormterror's map, this place should have originally been a plain, but now, after all the changes, what Meren sees is an ocean.

By changing his perspective, Mellen easily found the hidden secret space, or rather, the group of secret spaces.

The Wolf Lord's Secret Realm is composed of one large secret realm and dozens of smaller subordinate secret realms.

After all, even though the vast majority of wolf clans have been united under the wolf lord, there are still many disagreements between different wolf clans, and forcing them all to live together could easily lead to chaos.

Just as Mellen extended his thoughts into the secret realm, suddenly, as if he had triggered something, a violent mental fluctuation emanated from him: "Roar! Who dares to intrude upon the Wolf Lord's territory?!"

A few breaths later, the space not far in front of Mellen suddenly cracked open, and a majestic black giant wolf leaped out and immediately locked onto Mellen.

The black giant wolf looked at Mellen with a fierce expression, but in just a moment, the ferocity on its face gradually turned into suspicion, and it looked at Mellen with a puzzled expression.

Just then, two more figures, one in silver and one in white, crossed space and immediately shouted, "Where are they? Where are the intruders?! Let me see who dares to be so bold?!"

"That's right! I was almost suffocating in the secret realm, I can finally come out and get some fresh air."

Then, the two giant wolves, one silver and one white, sensed the strange atmosphere. The white wolf said, "Gris, this isn't like you. With your reckless temper, you should have already started fighting. What's wrong with you?!"

The silver giant wolf also roared, "That's right! Tell me quickly, who are you, and where did you hide Gris?!"

Faced with his two mischievous friends' teasing, Black Wolf Gris did not retort, and his gaze toward Mellen gradually became suspicious and uncertain.

Finally, the white wolf and the silver wolf also sensed something was wrong and looked at Melon warily, thinking that the latter had used some special means.

The three dogs were all only at the dominant level, posing no threat to Mellen.

Seeing the lively dogs, Murren smiled and walked towards them step by step.

As Mellen approached, the expressions of the three dogs shifted constantly between confusion and wariness, seemingly transforming from proud wolves one moment to goofy huskies the next.

When Mellen came to the three dogs, they didn't hide; instead, their eyes became dazed.

Mellen patted the black wolf's head, and the wolf squinted comfortably, even nuzzling against Mellen.

White Wolf suddenly came to his senses and shouted, "Gris, what are you doing?"

Gris snapped out of his daze, leaping back a large step and saying, "What? What are you doing? Can't you see I'm fighting?"

Silver Wolf bluntly exposed, "No! You are accepting the intruder's touch."

Gris stubbornly retorted, "Impossible! You've misunderstood!! I was... I was... I was looking for his weakness, preparing to strike at the opportune moment!"

The three dogs' bickering amused Mellen even more. He beckoned slightly, and the three dogs were immediately restrained and brought to his side, allowing him to pet them.

Unable to resist, the three dogs quickly gave up and lay sprawled out next to Mellen, exposing their furry bellies.

After playing with the dogs for a while, Mellen laughed and said, "Alright, I'm not an enemy. I have important business to attend to in the Wolf Lord's Secret Realm. Take me to see your current leader."

Gris struggled to his feet, still grumbling, "Damn it! I'll remember this grudge and get my revenge sooner or later!"

Silver Wolf scoffed, "I think you just want to be touched again."

Gris roared, "Lorraine, do you want to fight?!"

White Wolf quickly said, "Alright, alright! There's a time and place for playing around. Don't let the guests laugh at us."

Through conversations with the three dogs, Mellen learned about their basic information: the black wolf Gris was from the Ghost Wolf Clan, the silver wolf Lorraine was from the Holy Moon Wolf Clan, and the white wolf Bai Jingtian was from the White Mist Wolf Clan, which is the descendant of the Ancestral God White Mane Wolf.

To Mellen's dismay, the white-maned wolf he had been searching for was actually in the Wolf Lord's Secret Realm.

Upon further reflection, Mellen understood. In that battle where the heavens collapsed, even if the White Mane Wolf was a god-level being, it would probably be difficult for him to escape unscathed; being seriously injured would be considered a good outcome.

In a state of severe injury, if one wants to recover safely, the isolated and helpless home base or the Wolf Lord's Secret Realm where one can band together are good choices.

Perhaps, the Wolf Lord's Secret Realm has now gathered the vast majority of the wolf clan's power.

Of course, this is a good thing for Mellen.

Although Gris was enjoying the caresses and his fondness for Mellen was growing, he still needed to maintain a basic level of vigilance as Mellen was a stranger.

Gris asked, "Who are you? What do you want with our leader? I won't help you deliver the message if you don't tell me!"

Mellen chuckled and ruffled Gris's hair again, laughing, "You think you can stop me? Even if you don't help me send a message, can't I just go in myself?"

Griss froze, his little head seemingly still not quite processing what was happening.

Lorraine continued to complain, "Griss, you look like a dog right now!"

Gris bristled and barked at Lorraine, causing chaos to erupt.

Just then, a huge crack stretched across the sky, and a heavy aura poured down like stagnant mercury. A wolf's head, burning with ghostly blue flames, slowly emerged from the crack. From those ghostly blue flames, one could hear the whispers of the dead and the wails of the undead.

Mellen paused for a moment, looking at the three dogs with a hint of speechlessness. It seemed they were using this method to stall for time.

But it doesn't matter, because that was exactly what Mellen came here for.

Facing the wolf's head in the crack, Mellen unhesitatingly released his own wolf lord aura.

Wolf Head's silent expression suddenly froze, then its eyes flashed with astonishing brilliance. Without saying a word, its huge claws reached out from the crack and grabbed at Mellen, while its body quickly squeezed out of the crack.

This situation was not beyond Mellen's expectations. His fist, enveloped in a thick golden light, swung towards the sky.

"Boom!~"

It was as if the heavens and earth had collapsed, and the cracks in the sky above were directly shattered.

The giant wolf that was squeezing out of the crowd changed its expression drastically, but before it could make any move, Mellen's fist shattered its claws and continued to slam into its body with undiminished force.

If Mellen hadn't shown mercy, this god-level giant wolf would probably have been smashed to pieces. Even so, it wasn't much better off. Almost no bone on its body was intact, and it had hundreds of large and small wounds all over its body.

Mellen's move was like setting off firecrackers in someone else's doorstep, naturally alerting many beings in the Wolf Lord's Secret Realm.

Auras soared into the sky, and among these auras, three were the most powerful, all at the level of Ancestral Gods.

The next moment, more than ten figures crossed space and arrived: six humans and ten giant wolves. They first checked on the heavily injured giant wolf, and when they found that the latter was on the verge of death, they couldn't help but show their shock and anger, and their eyes were filled with rage as they looked at Mellen.

Not only was Mellen unfazed, but he also let out a disgruntled snort, releasing his wolf lord aura once more, and shouted, "Open your eyes wide and see who I am! What kind of punishment do you deserve for attacking me first?!"

The humans and giant wolves were stunned at first. Then, the ten giant wolves were the first to react, showing disbelief. The six humans were still somewhat confused, but after being reminded by their contracted pets, they all understood.

The leader was dressed in a very ancient style. He looked middle-aged, with an animal skin tied around his waist. His bare upper body was covered with bulging muscles, and he held a huge bone club that looked like crystal jade in his hand.

He stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Who exactly are you? Why..."

Mellen snorted coldly and sneered, "What, has the wolf clan fallen so low that they can't even recognize the wolf lord's aura?"

This statement caused an uproar.

The leader of the savages, barely suppressing his horror, shouted, "The Wolf Lord is missing, you..."

Mellen could naturally tell that the savage's contracted beast was a god-level being, which meant that the latter's status in the Wolf Lord's Secret Realm was definitely extraordinary. He waved his hand to interrupt the savage and said, "Enough nonsense. As the current Wolf Lord, I hereby convene the Wolf Clan's internal clan meeting. All wolf clan members above the god level must attend."

"Go and get ready!"

After saying that, Mellen walked toward the Wolf Lord's Secret Realm on his own.

The leader of the savages had a grim expression, with a hint of ferocity flashing in his eyes. The white jade bone club in his hand made a 'crunching' sound as if he was about to strike at any moment.

However, the giant wolf beside the leader of the savages stepped forward, blocking him and Mellen, then shook its head slightly at him before giving Mellen a deep look and saying, "As you wish."

The fact that the other party didn't make a move directly disappointed Mellen, but he didn't care and just walked straight past the group of people.

After Mellen entered the Wolf Lord's Secret Realm, the leader of the savages finally erupted, roaring, "Blazing Wing, why did you stop me? How dare this outsider treat me so disrespectfully! I will kill him!"

The Blazing Wolf said calmly, "He is no ordinary outsider; he is an outsider who carries the legacy of the Wolf Lord! Che Yingzhuo, you cannot attack him!"

Che Yingzhuo's face was filled with resentment and jealousy. He growled, "Damn it! This is just a lucky kid who accidentally obtained the Wolf Lord's inheritance. What qualifications does he have to become the new Wolf Lord?!"

"For hundreds of thousands of years, it was I, it was all of us, who protected the glory of the wolf clan! This is the result of our collective efforts! Do you really want an unknown outsider to steal our fruits?!"

After a moment of silence, the Blazing Wolf said, "Go and gather your people. Don't worry, he won't succeed easily, but everything must be done according to the rules."

Chapter 754 Subjugation and Insight

In the magnificent hall, Mellen sat alone on one side of the round table, while two other people and three wolves were on the other side, forming a confrontational position.

Mellen surveyed the three pairs before him. One of them was the savage he had met before, along with his pet beast companion, Che Yingzhuo and the Blazing Sky Wolf.

The other pair consisted of a seemingly refined young man and a lazy, blue giant wolf; they were Lan Hao and Youming Wolf.

The last wolf was the white-maned wolf that Mellen had heard of before.

The two people and three wolves in front of them are the actual rulers of the Wolf Lord's Secret Realm, and also the biggest enemies that Melen will have to face when he wants to reclaim the power of the Wolf Lord.

As the saying goes, "Big matters are discussed in small meetings, and small matters are discussed in large meetings." This crude but reasonable rule usually applies to all parts of the universe.

Sure enough, before Mellen could convene a general meeting of the wolf clan using his authority as the wolf lord, these people came knocking on his door first.

Of course, their explanation was also quite plausible. After all, the wolf clan had a large population, and even if they were just summoning experts at the god level or above, it wouldn't be something that could be done in a short time. In addition, some of them were out hunting or exploring, and it would take some time to notify them to return.

Mellen was also curious about their specific attitude, so he said with interest, "Tell me, what brings you here at this hour?"

Che Yingzhuo stared intently at Mellen, his eyes filled with undisguised resentment and greed, and said without any politeness, "Hand over the Wolf Lord's inheritance. This is not something you can covet!"

Mellen was somewhat speechless, then looked at the other one person and three wolves, and laughed, "What, you guys think so too?"

If the entire wolf pack is no longer loyal to their lord, then Mellen will have to consider whether it's still necessary to subdue the wolf pack.

After a brief silence, Lan Hao looked at Mellen and said, "Outsider, your sudden arrival and display of the Wolf Lord's legacy caught us completely off guard. At the very least, you should explain how you obtained the Wolf Lord's legacy, right?"

Che Yingzhuo suddenly turned to Lan Hao and roared, "Damn it, do you know what you're saying? This outsider is just a lucky guy who somehow found the Wolf Lord's inheritance. For the glory of the Wolf Clan, of course we must take back this inheritance!!"

Lan Hao did not respond, but simply looked at Che Yingzhuo with a calm gaze.

Che Yingzhuo's expression darkened further, and he questioned, "What? Do you really want to admit that he is the Wolf Lord?"

After being repeatedly confronted, Lan Hao's tone turned cold as she said, "If he's qualified, what's wrong with acknowledging him as the Wolf Lord!"

“You…” Che Yingzhuo was shocked and furious.

Mellen watched the farce unfold before him silently, then turned to the white-maned wolf who remained silent and asked, "And you? What are your thoughts? If I'm not mistaken, the three of you are now in charge of the entire wolf pack, aren't you?"

The white-maned wolf said lazily, "You're really mistaken. The two of them are in charge. I was just pulled in as a laborer. It doesn't matter to me who becomes the wolf lord."

Mellen nodded slightly, understanding that this was the white-maned wolf expressing its stance.

Seeing that Mellen ignored him time and time again, Che Yingzhuo could no longer hold back. His body suddenly burst into flames, and he punched Mellen.

Suddenly, Che Yingzhuo's expression changed slightly. His fist changed direction halfway through the fight and struck a hazy blue light. Tiny sparks and blue light splashed out, each drop of which was enough to severely injure a god-level expert. If it fell outside, it would be enough to burn mountains and boil seas. However, these aftershocks of the battle were canceled out and annihilated by the powerful control of both sides, without causing any impact on the hall.

Che Yingzhuo and Lan Hao faced off, with the latter saying calmly, "No matter what you're planning, at least wait for this outsider to finish speaking."

After a moment of silence, the flames on Che Yingzhuo's body went out, and Lan Hao also withdrew the light from her body.

Mellen watched this scene with great interest. Before achieving godhood, the beast taming system in the Beast Universe was mainly based on pets. Apart from some auxiliary abilities, beast tamers were extremely vulnerable in other aspects.

However, once a pet beast breaks through to the god level, the powerful feedback will directly break the inherent stability of the human race, allowing humans to begin an evolution similar to that of monsters.

At this stage, a complete power cycle will be formed between the beast tamer and the beast, making it easy to unleash a power greater than the sum of its parts.

Seeing that the three people's eyes were focused on him, Mellen chuckled and said, "Actually, there's not much to say. I didn't get the Wolf Lord's inheritance by luck, but because I am the rightful heir!"

"You must know about the expedition of the Council of Beasts back then, right? I am a descendant of that generation of Wolf Lord! Now you should understand my origins."

The above was, of course, a random fabrication by Mellen. Back then, the Beast Universe invaded the Starry Universe, but unfortunately, the war was lost, and in the end, all the remnants were integrated into the Starry Universe.

During this process, the Wolf Lord died in battle, and the heirloom pendant naturally disappeared. After millions of years of twists and turns, it finally fell into the hands of Melen's ancestor.

Mellen did not know whether his ancestors were descendants of the Wolf Lord, but he was certain that he himself must have the bloodline of the remnants of the Myriad Beasts Universe, otherwise he would not have been able to activate the wolf-shaped pendant.

Mellen said this simply to lend it more legitimacy.

Of course, Mellen also understood that for the wolf pack, strength has always been paramount. Only when one is strong enough can 'legitimacy' have any effect; otherwise, 'legitimacy' is nothing but empty talk.

The difference between the terms 'expedition' and 'invasion' is naturally a change based on the subject's perspective.

After hearing Mellen's words, the two men and three wolves all looked puzzled. Che Yingzhuo frowned and stared at Mellen, asking, "What are you talking about? What expedition?!"
