Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 1749 - 983: Exterminating the Huangwei Tree Clan! (Part 2)

Having been associated with "Unspeakable" for such a long duration, how could they fail to realize that this group is a truly ruthless organization that values nothing but profit?
However, Qing Ming had anticipated this reaction. Consequently, he transmitted a humble thread of Spiritual Will, a sharp contrast to his demeanor at the auction: "Sir, while the Mu Clan has indeed promised immense benefits, those interests are tied to the Orion Star Group, meaning we lack the authority to negotiate them. Nevertheless, the superiors have already signaled that once the Huangwei Tree Clan is wiped out, all remaining resources—including Blood Food, Fortune, and various treasures—can be split equally among everyone!"
With the delivery of Qing Ming’s Spiritual Will, this clandestine gathering shifted into a genuine negotiation.
The eyes of each powerhouse present no longer flickered with indifference; instead, they burned with a sincere desire to erase the Huangwei Tree Clan from the Blazing Nebula.
After all, the remains of a Star Nebula Great Clan would provide them with a magnificent feast.
Ultimately, through these deliberations, it was decided that five of the strongest guests would participate in the campaign to exterminate the Huangwei Tree Clan.
The sole remaining guest would stay behind to join the Wolf Lord in the second phase of the mission.
Qing Ming personally guided the five guests beyond the borders of the Golden Sun Star System, even providing them with artifacts designed to mask their aura.
Regardless of whether the operation succeeded or failed, the true identities of "Unspeakable’s" investors had to remain hidden.
While "Unspeakable" itself never takes part in wars of conquest or involves itself in the disputes of the various Star Nebula Great Clans, it will readily accept contracts offering extraordinary value and profit.
Thus, these cultivated investors serve as the most natural and effective enforcers for "Unspeakable."
If their involvement were revealed, it would not only deal a massive blow to the reputation of "Unspeakable," but it would also spark intense paranoia among all the powers within the Blazing Nebula and any region where "Unspeakable" operates.
An intelligence network that refrains from direct combat is something overlord-level forces can tolerate.
However, a cold-blooded commercial entity that breeds its own enforcers to carry out missions across the vast cosmos would inevitably be seen as a threat by every stellar power!
No faction could ever be certain that they wouldn't be the next meal served on "Unspeakable’s" bargaining table!
Once the five powerhouses had departed,
Qing Ming tracked the investment Mark placed upon the Wolf Lord and then turned his gaze toward the infinite reaches of the starry sky.
.....
In the expansive reaches of the cosmos, those void spaces that do not belong to any stellar system or orbit a star core are profoundly dark and freezing.
Apart from the eerie celestial echoes caused by the vibration of laws and occasional gusts of energy from unknown sources, silence reigns here.
Even a starry sky Battleship, measuring nearly a hundred miles in length, appears as nothing more than a speck of dust within this immense void.
Given the speed of such a vessel, even if it were to consume Star Stones to travel at maximum velocity, it would still take three to four centuries to cross the thirty-plus light-years required to reach the Golden Sun Star System.
This is the standard marching speed for the various clans competing for dominance in the stars.
Unless a force possesses specialized, elite armies equipped with Space-Time Altars or heavy-duty war machines, exceeding this speed is nearly impossible.
As they journeyed toward the Golden Sun Star System, Su Lin did not remain idle. He arranged for the Twelve-winged Dream Butterfly and the Black Gold Demon Ape to take turns instructing the Godspeed Golden Eagle, the Fox-tail Algae, the Dreamy Spiders, and even Lev regarding their Cultivation obstacles and breakthroughs.
Su Lin followed the path of Genetic Metamorphosis, a journey forged through combat experience, blood, and chaos!
While he understood the general trajectory for ordinary species to ascend, he lacked specific knowledge on how to overcome their unique mental barriers or state of mind limitations.
Therefore, it was far more effective to have the Twelve-winged Dream Butterfly and the Black Gold Demon Ape—two powerhouses of the Nine Heavens—provide guidance.
As for Lev, despite being the leader of the Wolf Pack’s research division, there was no disadvantage in strengthening his Cultivation or Spiritual Soul Force.
Increasing his power would not only improve his survival but might also grant him the soul-level clarity needed for his research breakthroughs.
This was the reason Su Lin always kept Lev by his side.
After all, the research institutions of a faction provide the foundation for the star energy weaponry used by the main army.
Purchasing Star Energy Weapons can provide a temporary boost, but it is not a sustainable strategy.
Such weapons are eventually depleted or destroyed in the heat of battle.
Back when the Wolf Pack Civilization numbered only in the trillions, acquiring such gear already required the resources of an entire stellar system. As the population expands by dozens or hundreds of times, not even the entire Sirius System would be enough to foot the bill.
Consequently, while some high-tech weaponry is bought, the rest must be developed internally over time.
Currently, projects such as the Star Stone Cannon, Star Stone Subordinate Mecha, Star Energy Beam, and the Wolf Pack Civilization’s proprietary Nuclear Source Burst Arrow, Nuclear Energy Star Missile, and Atomic Level Poisonous Miasma are all in various stages of development.
While the Twelve-winged Dream Butterfly and the Black Gold Demon Ape mentored Lev and the others,
Su Lin calmed his mind and attempted to utilize the True Intent of Dimension to forge his Sumeru Star Armor. His goal was to elevate this quasi-Extreme Heaven Realm heavy weapon into a true Extreme Heaven Realm artifact.
Although his physical toughness was already comparable to Extreme Heaven Realm defensive gear, more protection meant more safety.
Even a veteran of bloody slaughter like Su Lin would never turn down additional defensive treasures!
The higher one climbs, the more one values their life!
In this regard, Su Lin and the other experts of the Wolf Pack Civilization were no different!
It was simply that the Wolf Pack often found itself facing increasingly powerful enemies, which forced them into positions of desperation and madness!
This is perhaps the unavoidable trial for any grassroots force attempting to rise from the bottom!
During the refining process, Su Lin also focused a portion of his consciousness on his Origin Space, retrieving three supreme Heavenly Boundary Secret Pills and two supreme Heavenly Boundary Treasure Pills.
Two of these had been acquired during the "Unspeakable" auction.
The other three were refined from the remains of "Nightmare," the Lord of the Radiant Sun, and Emperor Hao Ri.
Supreme pills are indeed exceptionally rare.
Even formidable entities like "Nightmare" or the Lord of the Radiant Sun could only produce a single one.
This might be a restriction imposed by the Will of the starry sky, or perhaps supreme pills are simply too miraculous and defiant of nature.
Sacrificing a top-tier Star Sky Genius through Blood Refining to produce only one pill was a staggering extravagance.
Gazing at the five supreme pills before him,
Su Lin prepared to consume them while simultaneously refining the Sumeru Star Armor.
Whether it meant pushing the limits of his existing Talent and secret techniques or awakening entirely new ones, it would result in a significant boost to his combat strength.
This would be Su Lin’s final preparation before honoring "Unspeakable’s" invitation.
Within his Origin Space, very little remained: three Extreme Heaven Realm heavy weapons, three Stellar Sources, two and a half Transformation Level Spiritual Essence Rivers, some Potions, and roughly two hundred sheets of Heavenly Direction Foil from the previous Star War.
This was the most depleted his Origin Space had been since he first left Earth.
However, these resources and hidden cards were sufficient!
He was going there to settle a debt of gratitude, not to stake his entire life on a gamble.
If the task assigned by "Unspeakable" proved to be too perilous, the debt wouldn't necessarily have to be paid back this time!
Su Lin had never been one to be overly rigid or stubborn!
.....
Standing before Meng Hu, Su Lin’s expression was as if he were staring at a corpse—chilling, detached, and devoid of any sentiment.
A sense of overwhelming dread instantly paralyzed Meng Hu, causing his breath to hitch as if he were a fish on the White Wolf's chopping block. This pressure nearly shattered Meng Hu's mind; he could not fathom why the White Wolf hadn't simply ended his life yet.
