In a patch of woodland.
Messiah stood on a huge boulder, looking down at a ring of animals around her.
Among them were crows, gray rats, and lured reptiles such as grass snakes, foxes, and even a few wolves.
The mixture of predators and herbivores did not immediately start chasing each other. Instead, they knelt quietly, like subjects worshipping a monarch.
Messiah pulled a stern face, commanding the animals to complete one move after another.
Mysterious patterns expressive of wildness emerged on her face, like a combination of the stripes of a tiger and spots of a cheetah.
"Congratulations, you have successfully taken office as a [Shepherd]!"
Next to her, Su Lu clapped his hands: "The next step, [Wolf Shepherd], requires you to herd a pack of wolves and subjugate at least one transcendent species, preferably a wolf."
For the following [Beast Shepherd], several transcendent creatures are needed."
