Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 1727 - 973: The End of an Era (Part 2)

As the Emperor’s Son of Radiant Sun, a Peak Heavenly Venerate, he unleashed the full extent of his power. This eruption of might reached a scale that struck fear even into the veteran Peak Heavenly Venerates of the Bright Day System and the Heizi Tribe.

This display made it clear that had the Emperor’s Son of Radiant Sun chosen a desperate struggle over self-destruction, he would have remained a lethal threat to them all. Having shattered the Refining God Array, he proved himself to be the era's most incomparable genius.

Nevertheless, his fate was sealed; death was his only destination. In the vastness of this system’s world, there was no longer any sanctuary for him.

By choosing self-immolation, he ensured a final shred of dignity and paved a narrow path of survival for the trillions of elite members remaining in the Radiant Sun Tribe. The Twelve-winged Dream Butterfly had summoned them not merely to deliver the final commands of the Lord of Radiant Sun, but to facilitate an honorable end.

The wrath of the Wolf Pack Civilization could only be quelled by their demise. Furthermore, only through their sacrifice could the leaderless Radiant Sun Tribe be fully accepted and trusted by the Wolf Pack Civilization.

As the Emperor’s Son began his self-immolation, the surviving commanders and ancestors acted without hesitation.

"Hahaha! Lord Hao! Emperor’s Son! This old man shall follow you into the void! Even in the afterlife, I remain a Constant Star Dominator of Radiant Sun! To all members of our tribe: do not weep, and do not seek vengeance! Your life is our greatest prize! The future of our legacy is now in your hands!"

The final ancestor of the Radiant Sun Tribe took to the sky, igniting his life force alongside the Emperor’s Son. They were followed by over ten military group commanders who, fueled by profound sorrow and iron will, surged into the heavens. They cast a final, lingering gaze upon their soldiers, leaving a spiritual message: "Live on! This is the survival opportunity that Lord Hao and the Emperor’s Son have bought for you!"

High in the atmosphere, these ten-plus commanders also committed self-immolation. In a fleeting moment, the once-mighty Radiant Sun Tribe was stripped of nearly its entire leadership hierarchy. Soon, the mournful echoes of collapsing rules resonated across the firmament.

While Heavenly Realm experts are nearly impossible to kill in combat, the act of burning one's own essence to end their life is remarkably simple. For even the most powerful being, suicide is far easier than being extinguished by an opponent.

"Ah! Why! Why must this be! Lord Hao is gone, and now the Emperor’s Son is dead! I cannot endure this; I will follow them!"

Watching this tragedy unfold, the elite remnants of the Radiant Sun Tribe fought back their fury and agony, resisting the urge to launch a suicidal retaliatory strike against the Wolf Pack Civilization. However, many Exotic Beasts chose to end their lives on the spot in solidarity.

The Twelve-winged Dream Butterfly did nothing to intervene. Even when those possessing exceptional strength and talent committed suicide, she stood by silently. From her perspective, these individuals would either have their consciousness completely dominated by the Wolf Lord, or they would perish; death was perhaps the kinder fate.

Furthermore, those whose loyalty to the Radiant Sun Tribe was absolute would always be a hidden threat to the Wolf Pack Civilization if allowed to live.

"Mourn! Farewell to Lord Hao! Farewell to the Emperor’s Son! Farewell to our ancestor and our commanders!"

While some chose death, the vast majority of the elite forces finally opted to surrender. When presented with a dignified way to survive, few would truly choose oblivion. They knelt on one knee, offering a final salute to the departing leaders of the Radiant Sun Tribe. A tidal wave of grief and spiritual wailing washed over the entire battlefield.

Even those units of the Radiant Sun Tribe that had previously defected to the Wolf Pack Civilization fell into a solemn silence, moved by the collective mourning. Meanwhile, the Twelve-winged Dream Butterfly signaled for the Wolf Group New Army and the Dream Guards to infiltrate the Radiant Sun Tribe’s primary base to seize all high-grade Heavenly and Earthly Treasures and vital resources.

This included the remaining fortune of the tribe. The Twelve-winged Dream Butterfly ascended silently, wielding the Hao Ri Clan Destiny Seal to drain the Sea of Vast Fortune like a whale swallowing water, condensing it into Luck Stones.

This sight filled the various Star Nebula Great Clans with intense jealousy. These were the richest spoils—the fortune and resources of a base that covered nearly half the planet. Seeing the Wolf Pack Civilization moving to claim everything, the supreme beings of the other Great Clans intervened, utilizing powerful Great Techniques to snatch away portions of the wealth and fortune.

Despite the competition, neither side disrupted the atmosphere of mourning for the fallen leaders. This was the fundamental respect owed to the collapse of an Overlord-level power. Below, the ordinary Great Army and the Wolf Civilization forces stood in a tense standoff.

The scramble for resources between the Wolf Pack Civilization and the Star Nebula Great Clans was handled with calculated tact—competing fiercely without crossing into open warfare. Having breached Radiant Sun Star, every force felt entitled to the spoils of war. Since each Great Clan had played a significant role in the victory, the rule of the strong applied: whoever could harvest the most was the rightful owner.

Boom!

As the Star Nebula Great Clans joined the fray, the Wolf Pack Civilization escalated their efforts. High-level powerhouses like the Desperate Evil Tiger, Black Gold Demon Ape, Lonely Wolf Emperor, and Star Moon Ancestor entered the scramble. Even without the Wolf Lord’s personal intervention, the leaders of the Wolf Pack Civilization remained the most dominant force in the competition.
