Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 1682 - 948: Qing Ming Arrives, Radiant Sun’s Manifesto

"Qing Ming?"
While situated at the Destiny Stone Summit, Su Lin was attempting to push his Talent Secret Technique toward the High Heaven Realm. It was then that he detected a vibration coming from the investment mark.
This "Unspeakable" investment mark acts as both a badge of identity and a critical life-saving trump card, yet it also functions as a shackle.
Unless one utilizes the concealment of the Mysterious White Cloud or triggers the Stealth Talent to its peak, nearly every member of the "Unspeakable" can effortlessly track and pinpoint an investor’s coordinates.
Detecting the tremor, Su Lin’s form blurred. He manifested above the planet Earth instantly, undetected by any of the local Exotic Beasts.
"Wolf Lord, let me offer my congratulations on your return. I have come to deliver my felicitations; I trust the ’Nightmare’ has been thoroughly wiped out?"
Qing Ming gradually deactivated her Stealth Talent. Her chilling and dominant aura was vast enough to shroud the entire starry sky, instantly drawing the gaze of the patrolling Wolf Pack Exotic Beasts.
However, the pack resumed their duties once they recognized the familiar aura of the Wolf Lord.
"He did indeed attempt a body-snatch, but his spirit was no match for my will."
Su Lin offered no further explanation.
His final struggle against the "Nightmare" involved his most guarded secrets!
Qing Ming merely projected a soft, chuckling Spiritual Will and refrained from prying.
She simply understood that the Wolf Lord undoubtedly held massive hidden trump cards and deep mysteries.
Such as the technique of Borrowing Power to Summon God!
It was highly probable that a terrifying, unimaginable taboo stood behind him, eventually being summoned to crush the "Nightmare" into nothingness!
Regardless of the nature of these hidden cards, they proved that the Wolf Lord’s inherent value was skyrocketing.
"Very well. This was originally a trial set by the Squad Leader, and you have passed. Moving forward, you shall have the chance to truly collaborate with the Unspeakable. This time, I was sent by the Squad Leader to inquire if there is anything you wish to trade with us? Every standard investor is granted three opportunities to exchange resources with the Unspeakable; once those are used, you must attain a higher investor status to continue."
Qing Ming did not investigate the details of the duel between the Wolf Lord and the Nightmare, as she still intended to invest in him.
Everything the Wolf Lord had displayed thus far suggested he had the potential to evolve into a powerful Star Nebula Great Clan.
"What is available for trade? Furthermore, how shall I compensate for the Spacefoil and the favor regarding the Squad Leader’s previous calculations?"
"Wolf Lord, here is the current catalog of resources available for exchange. As for the three Spacefoils and the debt for the Squad Leader’s calculations, they have been issued but will require significant time to settle. I will notify you once your three-party alliance successfully repels the initial counterattack of the Radiant Sun Tribe."
With a flick of her wrist, Qing Ming presented a list.
Su Lin swept over it with his immense Spiritual Soul Force, noting many resources that were currently lacking within the Wolf Pack Civilization.
Regarding Star Stone Armor, the Wolf Pack Civilization already possessed its own research department and manufacturing replicas.
However, Star Energy Weapons still required substantial external procurement.
Additionally, there were no listings for various Peak Heavenly Boundary Heavy Weapons or Ultimate Heavy Weapons.
It was clear that Heavy Weapons of that caliber were rare even for the "Unspeakable," often requiring an entire Era of searching before appearing at an auction.
Such Heavy Weapons are typically considered priceless within the market.
Nevertheless, items like the Star Sky Mother Ship Group and Falling Star Arrows were available.
"I require fifty Star Sky Mother Ship Groups! Three hundred Falling Star Arrows! Five million Star Energy Mecha units, eighty million Star Energy Cannons, and ten billion units of various Star Energy consumption reserves. Furthermore..."
After a moment of deliberation, Su Lin voiced his requirements.
"Wolf Lord, these requests total forty billion units worth of Blood Stones and Star Stones—the equivalent of an entire ordinary star's total supply. Surely the Wolf Pack Civilization does not need this much at present? Moreover, I heard rumors that you intend to safeguard Jupiter’s promotion by defying the entire Radiant Sun Tribe army. Is that the truth? Or is it that even heroes find it impossible to resist a beautiful woman?"
Qing Ming was somewhat taken aback.
The Wolf Lord’s earlier spending to arm his civilization and show strength was logical.
But with such a massive expenditure now, did he truly believe the wealth acquired from the Purple Brilliance Star Core and his winnings from Young Master Tian Jiao were infinite?
"Do I truly count as a hero?"
Qing Ming immediately received a counter-question through his Spiritual Will.
"Haha! My apologies, Wolf Lord, I was overthinking."
This response made Qing Ming smile. No matter the circumstances, the Wolf Lord was certainly not the type of creature to throw everything away for the sake of some foreign beauty!
In fact, as long as the Wolf Lord treated the opposite sex with any degree of equality, it was already a sign of noble character on his part.
Following this exchange,
Though Qing Ming remained curious, she did not press the Wolf Lord further.
She simply accepted the massive amount of resources and a River of Spirituality Essence—at the proto-materialization level—provided by the Wolf Lord. She arranged for the supplies to be delivered to the Wolf Pack Civilization via the Space-Time Altar within ten years.
Once her tasks were finished, Qing Ming departed, leaving the Earth Star Group to its preparations.
The conflicts occurring here ultimately did not concern the "Unspeakable."
Even if the Wolf Lord was an investor, he was still just an investor.
Historically, the "Unspeakable" never interfered in competitive wars; this was an ironclad rule that remained unbroken.
Could the Wolf Lord truly challenge the Lord of the Radiant Sun in the future and claim victory?
That future was still a mystery.
However, the Wolf Lord’s habit of gambling everything on arming himself gave Qing Ming a persistent feeling that he was planning yet another dangerous and final gamble.
