Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 1740 - 979: The Structure of the Blazing Nebula

The grand banquet of the Wolf Pack finally concluded as the various commanders—including the Soul Spirit Demon Spider, the Soul Demon, and the Ancestral Dragon Turtle—departed with the Undead Army Group to take control of the hidden military forces.

Every Exotic Beast began receiving their rightful rewards, including resources and newfound positions of authority.

Groups of Exotic Beasts, particularly those who had experienced significant breakthroughs in power, began trekking back to their respective stations to commence their celebrations!

With the unification of the entire system complete, the need for constant, high-alert war readiness had finally vanished.

Su Lin did not object to this brief period of relaxation and leisure for the creatures of the Wolf Pack Civilization.

He understood that regardless of how fierce or proud a warrior might be, there must be a balance between tension and rest.

Forcing these Exotic Beasts to keep their minds perpetually strained would only lead to mental instability and total collapse.

Nevertheless, the secret army established by Su Lin remained active, silently patrolling the reaches of the entire system.

As the various Exotic Beasts finished collecting their prizes and returned home, Su Lin settled his mind once more, focusing on absorbing the essence of the Lord of the Radiant Sun.

The foundation of the Lord of the Radiant Sun was even more robust than that of "Nightmare," possessing far more vast energy.

Through hundreds of years of continuous devouring, the Evolution Essence Su Lin had amassed was already sufficient to trigger another advancement.

However, it was likely still not enough to shatter the barriers of the Tenth Heaven.

The further one climbs in Cultivation, the more astronomical the requirements for resources and energy become for even a minor breakthrough.

Consequently, Su Lin resolved to commit fully, devouring every scrap of energy remaining from the Lord of the Radiant Sun to push himself into the realm of a Peak Heavenly Venerate!

Once achieved, his immense energy, his grasp of rules, his Heavenly Boundary True Intent, and the physical power of his wolf body would reach heights inconceivable for a Heavenly Boundary Species. Even if he could not yet rival a true taboo existence, he would be incredibly close!

With physical strength and speed nearly on par with a taboo existence, Su Lin would possess the genuine confidence to face such beings head-on.

Furthermore, he could truly protect and dominate this powerful system under the three-day sky, expanding his influence into the Star Nebula to begin his designs for cosmic conquest.

It wasn't necessarily that Su Lin craved dominion over the starry seas; rather, it was the reality of this Dark Starry Sky!

To merely sit back and defend a single corner is to become the most tempting prey for all surrounding powers.

To be the hunter instead of the hunted, one must be possessed by the most primal ferocity, killing intent, and aggressive ruthlessness!

Driven by these ambitions, magnificent and strange phenomena manifested once more above Su Lin’s wolf form. The remaining vast energy, rules, and Heavenly Boundary True Intent of the Lord of the Radiant Sun surged like a great tide, resonating with the Sea of Destiny.

As the Wolf Lord entered secluded cultivation again, the Exotic Beasts of the Wolf Pack Civilization returned to their posts in an orderly fashion, and time began to flow quietly by.

....

In a system now unified and devoid of major conflict, time moved with incredible speed.

Exotic Beasts from all factions remained within their designated territories, laboring to absorb the sealed resources, fortune, and Dao Rhythm, resulting in a surge of military strength the system had never seen before.

In what seemed like a heartbeat, four thousand years slipped away.

Over this four-millennium span, the established military structures expanded significantly.

To hasten this growth, Su Lin triggered the three sources of the stars, causing the Dao Rhythm and fortune—which would normally take eons to release—to erupt violently.

This ensured that the fortune and Dao Rhythm of the Radiant Sun Star would be fully unleashed within tens or hundreds of thousands of years.

Furthermore,

While the subordinates of the Wolf Pack Civilization were busy nurturing their strength and expanding over these four thousand years, a curious event took place.

Two vanguard fleets from neighboring stellar systems arrived at the borders.

According to their intelligence, the Haori Star System should have still been embroiled in a devastating war after a few thousand years, likely on the brink of total ruin.

Their intention was clearly to scavenge what they could from the chaos.

Since they were merely ordinary stellar systems, lacking the power of a Star Nebula Great Clan to warp massive fleets across the void instantly, they had to dispatch a conventional military force.

To their absolute horror, as they navigated several hundred star-faring battleships within a hundred billion kilometers of the Sirius System, they witnessed the staggering phenomenon of the three suns.

This sight was so profound it would have shocked the ancients, leaving the invaders paralyzed with awe.

Before they could even attempt a retreat, they were intercepted and boxed in by the Charm Fox and her Phantom Army.

Since the Wolf Pack Civilization Headquarters was no longer providing direct resources, the Charm Fox and her Phantom Army were unwilling to let such "fat sheep" escape, especially since they had only just begun venturing into the deep starry sky.

During this era, the Charm Fox had expanded her Phantom Army to over twenty billion soldiers, successfully consuming this foreign vanguard of thirty billion!

Although the Phantom Army was smaller in number, their combat effectiveness was formidable.

In terms of elite power, many were Venerable-level experts that the Charm Fox had personally captured!

After four thousand years, the number of powerful experts within the Phantom Army had become uncountable.

Utilizing the resources bestowed by the Wolf Lord and the fortunes of the three suns, the Charm Fox had also successfully broken through to the Mid-stage Heavenly Venerate rank on Pluto!

"You are merely the vanguard? Then return and tell those who sent you: the Radiant Sun Star System has been ripped apart by the Star Nebula Great Clans. Now, with two additional stars fighting for control, there is virtually no military force left to speak of!"
