Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 1686 - 950: Radiant Sun Mobilizes!
Previously on Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf...
To a powerhouse of the Heavenly Realm, time is the most trivial of matters, frequently slipping away unnoticed and unvalued.
What truly commands their attention are resources, vested interests, and raw combat power!
This is because, upon ascending to the Heavenly Realm, these are the only factors that determine their ultimate survival.
However, since the Radiant Sun Tribe made their formal appearance and broadcasted those aggressive declarations of war,
every species within the Heavenly Boundary suddenly perceived a slowing of time within the Haori Star System.
With each passing day comes the looming threat of a Super Star War igniting without warning!
Each moment carries the terrifying potential for billions upon billions of soldiers to be erased in a heartbeat!
A conflict of this magnitude, which will decide the fate of a mighty stellar system, demands exhaustive calculation and preparation from every faction involved.
Schemes, treacherous plots, and hidden agendas—any tactic that might secure victory—will be utilized without hesitation or moral scrutiny!
Long before the official commencement of hostilities, chaos had already begun to fracture various regions.
Rumors circulate that the eighteen Shattered Stars on the outskirts of the Jupiter Clusters have refused to relocate into Jupiter; instead, they have declared independence and unified under their own banner.
Within the Earth Star Group, a multitude of Exotic Beasts from the satellites and Shattered Stars orbiting Mercury and Venus are defecting to the Radiant Sun Star.
Due to the proximity of Mercury and Venus to the Radiant Sun Star, the species inhabiting these regions have long worshipped the Radiant Sun Tribe as deities, making them the foundation of their faith.
To them, turning against their own gods and core beliefs is an unthinkable betrayal.
Meanwhile, the Neptune Warlord, seduced by greed, attempted to seize a Space-Time Altar but was nearly crushed by its overwhelming Divine Might!
Had a Peak Heavenly Venerate from the Heizi Tribe not intervened, he likely would have met his end then and there.
Even so, the Neptune Warlord and his reinforced contingent of twenty million Heavenly Realm elite troops suffered devastating casualties.
A single Space-Time Altar proved too much for twenty million Heavenly Realm elites to suppress!
This incident served as a chilling testament to the true might of the Radiant Sun Tribe.
Yet, the Radiant Sun Tribe was not without its own internal strife.
Significant unrest erupted within their ranks when one of their eight satellites revolted.
A Fire foil, kept by the Satellite Lord, was stolen, resulting in the entire satellite being engulfed in a world-ending inferno!
Though the massive blaze slaughtered at least tens of billions of satellite troops, the planet itself remained fundamentally intact.
This resilience is due to each satellite being a second-level Peak Life Planet.
Furthermore, because they are bathed in the direct radiation of the Radiant Sun Tribe, they far surpass other second-level Peak Life Planets, rivaling ordinary Small Constant Stars in power.
Simultaneously, the Wolf Pack Civilization, the Jupiter Clusters, and the Heizi Tribe all released their own war manifestos.
They denounced the Radiant Sun Tribe for their lack of righteousness, blaming them for the Haori System being mired in conflict for over half an Era.
They claimed the Lord of the Radiant Sun incited discord on Jupiter to plunder its resources, leaving the inhabitants with no choice but to follow the Jupiter Empress into battle!
The grievances of Earth were no different!
The Lord of the Radiant Sun had once intended to obliterate Earth with his Finger Snap Divine Power, forcing the Wolf Pack Civilization into a desperate struggle for survival.
During that initial Star War, his son even deployed a fire foil that nearly reduced Earth to ash and wiped out countless species—a grudge as vast as the ocean!
How could such a tyrant, such an Emperor, still be worthy of anyone's devotion?
War!
War!
War!
Among the many declarations, the one issued by the Wolf Pack Civilization resonated with the most ferocity!
In truth, while Jupiter, the Heizi Tribe, and the Radiant Sun Tribe have fought for ages, their enmity does not run as deep as the hatred between Earth and the Radiant Sun Tribe.
If the "Nightmare" remains alive, Su Lin can never know peace.
Likewise, the very existence of the Radiant Sun Tribe leaves every species from Earth in a state of constant dread.
Generations of Earth’s inhabitants have been wiped out, with ninety-nine percent having perished under the Radiant Sun Tribe’s fire foils long ago.
Even among the twelve billion veteran War Generals who survived the previous Star War, many still have family, spouses, and children stationed back on Earth!
Such a blood debt can never be forgiven!
The conflict will only cease when one side is completely annihilated!
Currently, the murderous intent permeating the Haori Star System thickens with every new declaration of war.
Even in lawless zones beyond the reach of the great powers, packs of Exotic Beasts are being slaughtered in droves.
For example, after the Radiant Sun Tribe absorbed hundreds of billions of ancient Exotic Beasts and trillions of defectors from Mercury and the Beast Star,
these beings were sent straight to resource depots to be covertly processed into blood food for the Great Army.
Jupiter also initiated aggressive military maneuvers across its Shattered and Meteor Stars, issuing orders to execute anyone who dared to disobey.
By comparison, the Wolf Pack Civilization appeared relatively calm.
But this peace was fleeting; after a swift decade or so,
Su Lin had only just managed an imperfect fusion of the Golden Shattering Star Roar and the Celestial Wolf Howling Moon—attaining a half-step Extreme Heaven Realm Talent—
when the Wolf Pack Civilization began secretly arming themselves with "Unspeakable" weapons delivered via the Space-Time Altar.
At that moment, Jupiter officially distributed the Constant Star Sticker to the masses!
The status of a Small Constant Star could no longer satisfy their hunger; they were prepared to begin a true Star Ascension!
Even Saturn saw the arrival of the Jupiter Warlord, who intended to ascend alongside it to the rank of a Small Constant Star when the time was right.
In a flash, an era of total upheaval arrived.
The Jupiter Empress’s ambition was staggering, laid bare for the entire universe to see.
And during this turmoil,
the Neptune Warlord—previously rumored to be critically wounded—stood silently with his twenty million-strong Neptune Army in a deserted stretch of space, concealed by the power of a grand Array.
