Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 1684 - 949: Preparations Before the Great Battle

A heavy, suffocating tension now blankets the entire Radiant Sun Stellar System, like the calm before a devastating storm.

Numerous independent powerful experts have weighed their chances and retreated into the shadows,

waiting to see which faction emerges as the dominant force before pledging their support.

Only a handful of stubborn individuals, driven by greed, have set a direct course for the Earth Star Group or the recently unsealed Radiant Sun Tribe.

The majority, however, have flocked toward the Radiant Sun Tribe.

This is because the Lord of the Radiant Sun and his tribe maintain control over a Level 5 Star and eight significant satellites; even if the rest of the system falls, their position at the peak remains secure.

Their defeat seems nearly impossible; through sheer wealth of resources, they possess the capacity to simply outlast the tripartite alliance formed by the Wolf Pack, the Black Clan, and the Jupiter Star Group.

Even within the Jupiter Star Group, many have begun to desert following the official proclamation issued by the Lord of the Radiant Sun.

In response, the Jupiter Empress acted swiftly to establish multiple layers of security checkpoints throughout her territory, while simultaneously broadcasting news of their impending promotion to a stellar status without any attempt at concealment.

She understood that without such an announcement, it would be impossible to suppress the terror felt by the various Species inhabiting the Shattered Stars and Meteors regarding the Radiant Sun Tribe!

"Release a proclamation, Bai Niaomu, issue one in my name as well! The promotion of Jupiter is at hand. I want to see exactly how much longer the Radiant Sun Tribe can maintain their suppression over us!"

Inside the great hall, the Jupiter Empress radiated a spiritual will tinged with suppressed rage.

She had not anticipated that even after half an Era of chaotic warfare and the passage of so many years, the prestige of the Radiant Sun Tribe would remain so unshakable.

"As you command! However, Empress, regarding your order for all Species above the New Species level to withdraw to Jupiter and Saturn—should we proceed with that? In my opinion, since many of them lack loyalty to Jupiter, why not deploy them as cannon fodder on the frontlines? Alternatively, they could be sacrificed to the protective fortune formation of the four major satellites to bolster our defenses!"

Bai Niaomu spoke with a cold, sinister cruelty.

To her, the lives of low-level Exotic Beasts were trivial, and those with wavering loyalties were deemed entirely expendable.

"No, those Exotic Beast Tribes above the New Species level lack sufficient combat power and should be withdrawn according to the original plan. They represent the foundation of our future Ancestor-level and Heavenly Realm Military Power. It is only natural for the weak to seek safety and avoid destruction; we should not be overly harsh. Once Jupiter completes its advancement, everything will stabilize!"

The Jupiter Empress proved herself a capable ruler, possessing the wisdom to distinguish necessary actions from unnecessary cruelty.

The weak possess no voice and frequently have no options available to them.

A collection of Species constantly tossed about by the currents of grand events should not be held to impossible standards.

The absolute priority now is the transition to a stellar status!

All difficulties will be resolved once the star successfully advances.

Particularly for the Fire Clan branch, the Undead Holy Sect, the Ice Dragon Clan, and the recently allied Bright Day System—they will witness Jupiter’s true potential and double their investments.

When that time comes, Jupiter can reclaim its dominance over the Wolf Pack Civilization and emerge as the most powerful member of the alliance against the Radiant Sun Tribe.

Driven by this resolve, the Jupiter Empress rapidly dispatched a series of orders, even activating long-dormant undercover agents within the Radiant Sun Tribe, many of whom had climbed to mid-level positions over the centuries.

She could not afford to place all her bets on the Wolf Pack Civilization.

This conflict will determine her own fate and the future of Jupiter; there is no margin for error!

Furthermore, the Jupiter Empress once again petitioned the Fire Clan branch, the Ice Dragon Clan, and the Undead Holy Sect for assistance. She promised them the rank of Vice Emperor within the Jupiter Star Group, swearing a solemn oath that their authority would remain untouchable for as long as she lived!

This meant the power they would wield over Jupiter would be both permanent and absolute.

In short, with the promotion imminent and the Radiant Sun Tribe poised to march across the system, the Empress utilized every resource at her disposal to maximize her military strength!

The Jupiter Star Group also consolidated all Ancestor-level Exotic Beasts, pulling them back into the core regions of Saturn, Jupiter, and the four surrounding satellites.

A massive army of two trillion Exotic Beasts was stationed on the outer Shattered Stars and Meteors to serve as a deterrent against rogue elements, both internal and external!

Concentrated at the heart of their territory were over fifteen trillion Starry Sky Army troops, three trillion Ancestor-level Dead Souls within the Undead Army Group, and hundreds of millions of elite warriors from the Black Sun Tribe and the Empress’s personal followers. Together, they formed the true wall against the Radiant Sun Tribe’s assault!

The Jupiter Star Group now functions like a massive war engine running at maximum capacity.

Yet, despite these preparations, the dread of being annihilated by the Radiant Sun Tribe’s overwhelming power still lingered.

For the moment the Radiant Sun Tribe ended their isolation, spies hidden within the Jupiter Star Group, the Wolf Pack Civilization, and the Black Sun Tribe immediately began transmitting three thousand years of gathered intelligence through clandestine channels.

During those three millennia, the military strength of the Radiant Sun Tribe had grown to rival that of Star Nebula Great Clans, such as the weakest Ice Dragon Clan.

Or perhaps, the Ice Dragon Clan had never truly reached the status of a Great Clan, remaining merely a quasi-Great Clan!

Currently, the Radiant Sun Tribe’s Ancestor-level forces have surpassed the predictions of the Black Sun Tribe and the Star Nebula Great Clan backing the Empress, reaching a staggering nine trillion, supported by twelve billion Heavenly Realm Strong Persons!

Even experts at the Heavenly Venerate Level, fueled by a massive influx of Fortune Dao Rhythm, were being produced at an unprecedented rate.
