Numerous spatial passages connected the vast territories of the Star Alliance, making it exceptionally swift for both material transportation and troop mobilization.

On the same day the battle of Tallen City ended, the corpses of the spider-ized elves were sent to Su Nan’s laboratory.

After a considerable effort, Su Nan successfully extracted the divine energy from the corpses.

“8 standard units of divine energy, much more than the Death Knell Striker and Multi-Winged Monster.”

A satisfied smile graced Su Nan’s face.

The only drawback was that it was a one-time deal, unlike the Death Knell Striker and Multi-Winged Monster, which could be continuously extracted.

It had its pros and cons.

After the initial joy, Su Nan immediately synthesized the divine energy, cleansed the faith contamination, and absorbed it without delay.

After digesting the divine energy, he opened his panel and found that his spiritual condensation had increased by 0.66%.

“Not bad, roughly equivalent to over two years of cultivation gains.”

A hint of a smile curled Su Nan’s lips.

If each spider-ized elf could bring similar gains, then the speed of his spiritual condensation increase would undoubtedly be accelerated by a considerable margin.

“It seems we can’t attack the Spiderweb City so soon.”

Ever since he learned about the spider-ized elves, Su Nan had a vague idea of “sustainable development.”

Now that he had confirmed the significant effect of the spider-ized elves on increasing his spiritual condensation, that idea could be put into action.

Since the Spider Queen had specially sent him this supplement, he couldn’t refuse.

He would simply treat Spiderweb City as a treasure trove that could continuously produce divine energy, harvesting it for an extended period.

Returning to his study, Su Nan immediately summoned Carolina.

“Pass the order down, exert pressure on the Dark Elves, squeeze out their war potential as much as possible, but don’t attack Spiderweb City.”

“Moreover, if you encounter spider-ized elves, be sure to leave their bodies intact and send them to the laboratory immediately.”

Carolina was taken aback, filled with confusion.

Why exert pressure without attacking Spiderweb City?

Only when she heard the latter part did the intelligent human-lion noble realize, a sense of pity for Spiderweb City instantly filling her heart.

It was being treated as a resource point by her master.

“Yes, Master.” Carolina responded respectfully.

“What about Red Widow?” Su Nan asked subsequently.

“The first legion’s front line has already advanced to the border of the Northwest Region. Lord Kore requested material support, and Red Widow is currently overseeing the logistical affairs in that area,” Carolina replied.

After expansion, the Star Alliance now had two medium-sized Magic Puppet Legions, named the First Legion and the Second Legion, respectively, led by Kore and Ethan, and Sherman and Atir, respectively.

The former advanced towards the Northwest Region, while the latter advanced towards Spiderweb City.

Currently, the First Legion had basically cleared all the indigenous forces in the region where the Southeast Region and Northwest Region bordered, officially pushing the battlefield into the Northwest Region.

In other words, the entire Southeast Region of the Underworld, excluding Spiderweb City, was now under the control of the Star Alliance.

For thousands of years, the Underworld had never seen such a large force emerge.

Even Su Nan had heard that the city-states in the Northwest Region had seemingly united to resist the Star Alliance.

“What is the situation in the Northwest Region now?” Su Nan asked.

Carolina respectfully replied, “Most of the city-states in the Northwest Region have united to form an alliance, and they even gave it a name: Falling Star Alliance.”

Falling Star Alliance?

Su Nan’s expression turned strange, but quickly returned to normal. After a moment’s thought, he said, “Shift the focus of the war to the Northwest Region for now, we can hold off on Spiderweb City.”

Since he had decided to temporarily not attack Spiderweb City, there was no need to station too many troops there. He could shift his focus to the Northwest Region and deal with the so-called Falling Star Alliance first.

“Yes, Master.”

Carolina received the order and withdrew.

Sherman and Atir soon received Su Nan’s orders.

The two looked at each other, bewildered at the words on the parchment.

“Is this a strategy of surrounding without killing?” Atir’s face was full of confusion, “Why do this?”

Sherman pondered for a moment and said thoughtfully, “It must be related to the spider-ized elves. Perhaps they are important to the teacher, and he wants to obtain as many of their corpses as possible.”

“But in that case, wouldn’t it be better to attack Spiderweb City and directly kill all the spider-ized elves?” Atir said.

The two did not understand the birth process of the spider-ized elves, so they didn’t understand the meaning of the order at all.

Fortunately, they didn’t need to understand it.

“Since it’s the teacher’s order, we’ll follow it.”

Sherman took out the military map and spread it out on the table.

This was a map of the Southeast Region of the Underworld.

The Star Alliance had spent a considerable amount of manpower and resources to create such a detailed and complete military map of the Southeast Region.

This map played a significant role in the Star Alliance’s expansion.

Two areas were distinguished on the map by color, representing the territories of the Star Alliance and the Dark Elves.

Compared to the vast territory of the Star Alliance, the Dark Elves’ territory occupied only a small corner.

Sherman drew a circle around the outskirts of the Dark Elves’ territory, saying, “While we can’t attack Spiderweb City, we can first attack their outlying city-states. This can reduce the pressure we face later and also create a greater sense of crisis for the Dark Elves.”

Atir remembered the part in the teacher’s order about “squeezing out the Dark Elves’ war potential” and nodded in agreement.

“Also, the teacher asked us to dispatch some troops to support Kore.”

“The city-states we captured before are basically stable. We can deploy the remaining troops after garrisoning, and send them to support Kore.”

With a few brief exchanges, Sherman and Atir quickly finalized their plans.

As orders were issued one after another, the vast war machine swiftly sprang into action, pressing towards the Dark Elves.

Starlight Calendar 1272, Spring Dawn Moon (March).

After nearly twenty years of bloodline refinement, the Stealthy Dragon finally crossed the final step and evolved into a true Dragon Bloodline.

Dragon Forest Zone 3. Su Nan looked at the Stealthy Dragon soaring and circling in the sky, a happy smile spreading across his face.

After its bloodline ascension, the Stealthy Dragon’s body expanded once again, now exceeding fifty meters in length, and it had grown a pair of massive wings.

When it perched in front of him, it looked like a small mountain.

In addition, its head had completely transformed into a dragon skull, with curved, sharp horns rising from the top, and its scales had completely turned into a fiery red.

However, unlike typical dragons, the Stealthy Dragon retained its lizard-like crawling habits, unlike most dragons whose forelimbs are short and hind limbs long, accustomed to standing upright.

What pleased Su Nan was that the Stealthy Dragon had awakened two new abilities.

The first was the unique special ability of a magical companion – Spell Sharing.

As their life level increased, magical companions would gradually awaken various special abilities.

For example, when the Stealthy Dragon evolved from Dragon Lizard Bloodline to Sub-Dragon Bloodline, it had awakened the special ability of Vision Sharing.

The Spell Sharing ability, on the other hand, allowed the master, within a certain range, to choose to have the effects of spells cast on themselves also apply to their magical companion, until the duration of the spell ended or the two were separated by a certain distance.

For example, when Su Nan cast the Lightness Spell on himself, he could make the effects of the Lightness Spell also apply to his magical companion.

This ability could enhance the magical companion’s combat ability to some extent and was considered quite practical.

The second ability was the expected Flame Domination.

As early as when the Stealthy Dragon awakened the Flame Breath ability, Su Nan guessed that when it evolved into a dragon, it was very likely to awaken Flame Domination.

And the reality proved him right.

Invisibility, Real and Unreal Transformation, and Flame Domination. The Stealthy Dragon now possessed three spell-like abilities.

And they were all highly practical abilities.

Coupled with the dragon’s high spell resistance, sturdy physique, flight ability, dragon intimidation, and dragon breath, and other abilities, the Stealthy Dragon’s combat ability was already not inferior to that of a formal Wizard.

Just now, Su Nan and the Stealthy Dragon had a sparring match.

Without using engraved gems or wizarding tools, Su Nan could only barely suppress the Stealthy Dragon.

And this was with the Stealthy Dragon having just broken through and not fully adapting yet.

Once it fully stabilized its realm, Su Nan estimated that without using his trump cards, he could only fight the Stealthy Dragon to a draw.

“Dragon Bloodline is truly extraordinary.”

Su Nan sighed inwardly.

Unfortunately, after evolving into a dragon, the Stealthy Dragon’s bloodline concentration could no longer be enhanced.

Like the vast majority of dragons, it primarily relied on time to grow its strength naturally.

Even dragons could grow stronger while sleeping, but the speed was incredibly slow.

However, this would be compensated by the dragon’s long lifespan.

Even a Chromatic Dragon, a lower-grade dragon, had a lifespan of over a thousand years.

Generally, the older the dragon, the stronger it was, a consensus across the multiverse.

The Stealthy Dragon naturally inherited these advantages.

However, Su Nan didn’t intend to let the Stealthy Dragon rely solely on natural growth to enhance its strength.

Although its bloodline concentration could no longer be enhanced, biological modification using dragon blood could still promote the Stealthy Dragon’s strength enhancement.

He could completely synthesize dragon blood and use it to enhance the Stealthy Dragon’s strength, accelerating its strength growth.

While synthesizing dragon blood required a large amount of sub-dragon blood, this was the least of their concerns in the Dragon Forest.

Su Nan turned his head towards Zone 2.

The Dragon Forest Zone 2 Transformation and Sub-Dragon Bloodline Enhancement Project had already been implemented and the initial phase of the work had been completed.

Zone 2 was now back in operation and housed nearly a thousand high-level sub-dragons.

After all, they were not true dragons, and the number of creatures was relatively small, so the energy cycle ratio occupied by Zone 2 was not high.

The optimal energy cycle ratio was only 28.33%.

At present, the Dragon Forest had less than 10% of energy overflow, but Su Nan didn’t intend to use this part, as it might be needed for future experiments.

Every day, high-level sub-dragons were being brought to the laboratory for bloodline refinement surgery.

Although the magnitude was not obvious, the overall bloodline concentration of the Zone 2 sub-dragon population was steadily increasing.

Su Nan estimated that in four or five hundred years, perhaps a true dragon could be born from among them.

Compared to the slow progress of transformation and evolution, another event that occurred recently had attracted Su Nan’s attention.

Just three days ago, the Starsea Empire declared war on the neighboring Snow Lion Duchy and invaded across the border with a massive army.

This action immediately drew strong reactions from surrounding countries.

Although the Starsea Empire only attacked one Snow Lion Duchy, it was like poking a hornet’s nest, triggering resistance from almost all the countries in the Southeast Region.

These countries united without hesitation to resist the Starsea Empire.

A war involving the entire Southeast Region of the continent erupted.

It was larger in scale than the previous war between the Azuregold Empire and the Starsea Empire, with almost all countries participating.

After all, everyone with a clear mind could see that the Starsea Empire’s goal was the entire Southeast Region of the continent.

If the Starsea Empire was allowed to defeat them one by one, eventually all the countries would be annexed by it.

No country was willing to see this happen.

They understood the principle of “a shared fate.”

However, there was one country that was an exception.

At the same time as the war broke out, the Thornflower Duchy announced its allegiance to the Starsea Empire, becoming another ducal territory within the empire’s vast realm.

This move by the Thornflower Duchy caught many by surprise, but Su Nan was thoughtful when he heard the news.

“Was it Rose who was behind the scenes, stirring the waters?”

Only Rose could possibly persuade the Thornflower Duchy to surrender.

Perhaps after joining the Star Alliance and realizing the vast resources it possessed, she persuaded the Thornflower Royal Family to surrender and preserve their bloodline.

Only those who truly lived within the Star Alliance and held a certain position, able to access deeper layers of information, would understand how terrifying the power and development potential of this behemoth were.

Su Nan had asked Rose about this matter, and her reply was that she had simply made the right choice.

“Indeed, it was the right choice.”

Su Nan smiled slightly.

The Starsea Empire now possessed sufficient strength. It no longer needed to borrow Magic Puppet Legions from the Star Alliance. It already had the power to clear all obstacles and unify the Southeast Region by itself.

From the moment it erupted, the outcome of this war was already predetermined.

“Roar!”

A loud dragon roar interrupted Su Nan’s thoughts.

Looking up, he saw the Stealthy Dragon soaring and circling, flying swiftly over the academy.

The loud roar and the vast shadow that fell quickly attracted the attention of many students. A wave of exclamations rose from the academy.

After circling several times in a showy manner, the Stealthy Dragon seemed to finally be satisfied. It left the academy airspace and descended to the ground, returning to Su Nan’s side, raising its head and calling out several times.

Su Nan chuckled, “I know you’re happy, but go easy. Otherwise, it’ll take a long time to recover later.”

As a high-life-level creature that could be compared to a Wizard, the Stealthy Dragon was naturally affected by the environment of the Starlight Continent. Not only was its strength significantly reduced, but if it overexerted itself, recovery was also very slow.

Even in the Dragon Forest, where energy particles were relatively abundant, the influence had not been eliminated, only relatively better than outside.

The Stealthy Dragon let out a low growl, indicating that it understood.

Su Nan smiled and said no more. He teleported back to the laboratory in the Dragon Bone Tower.

According to his calculations, the new corpses of spider-ized elves should have arrived.
