Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 1760 - 989: War Crisis, Massive Propaganda!

"I beg you, Brother Mo Peng, please show me the way!"
Upon hearing that Su Lin was willing to intervene, the Demon Emperor’s Son immediately offered another profound bow.
For a prince of a renowned Star Nebula Great Clan to show such humility, many would feel that guiding such a jade dragon was worth any sacrifice, even fulfilling a vow at the golden tower with their very life!
However, as fate would have it, neither Su Lin nor the Heavenly Ghost possessed a status lower than that of the Demon Emperor’s Son.
Accepting the prince's respectful gesture, Su Lin spoke without delay, "Thousands of planetary years remain before the final voting concludes. My suggestion is for the emperor’s son to circulate rumors that the Black Sun Tribe's true intent behind the Peace Treaty is to catch the Demon Lords off guard, and that an invasion force may soon be mobilized."
The Demon Emperor’s Son fell into deep thought after receiving this spiritual will. Eventually, he replied, "Brother Mo Peng, while such propaganda aligns with my father’s national agenda, the Demon Star Lord and other military factions might dismiss it as a mere fabrication. It is unlikely they will take it seriously."
Intelligent Exotic Beasts are far from simple-minded, particularly those who have ascended beyond the Ancestor Level; their intellect is easily on par with the humans of old.
Furthermore, though the rate of their mental growth slows once they reach a certain peak, their vast lifespans allow for continued refinement of their wisdom.
Consequently, the strategic minds of an Ancestor-level military force would never be easily manipulated by such a simple ruse.
To make matters more difficult, the Demon Star Lord is actively campaigning and building his own momentum. His first move in this war of public opinion would undoubtedly be to expose and discredit such a claim.
Su Lin’s expression remained unchanged. He cast a cold, detached gaze toward the Demon Emperor’s Son and remarked, "And... if the Black Sun Tribe actually arrives, it will no longer be a ruse. Since both parties have only signed a preliminary peace agreement in principle, the treaty has not yet gained true legal force."
The moment Su Lin’s spiritual will subsided, both the Demon Emperor’s Son and the Heavenly Ghost bolted upright, staring at Su Lin with profound disbelief.
The gravity of what he had implied was staggering!
Neither the prince nor even the Heavenly Ghost had ever considered that Su Lin might possess the power to command the Black Sun Tribe!
One must remember that only three peak clans currently dominate the Blazing Nebula!
Among them, the Black Sun Tribe stands as the most formidable!
With Nine Lords, two absolute Taboo entities, and seven who have reached the Half-step Forbidden Peak, who could possibly match their concentrated combat power?
This single tribe is divided into nine distinct veins, and every single vein possesses enough might to wage a bloody war against standard Star Nebula Great Clans.
The Black One and Black Two veins are especially terrifying, capable of sweeping across the Blazing Nebula with their hordes of Vein Masters and endless ranks of War Generals!
Most critically, rumors persist that within the heart of the Black Sun Tribe’s territory, several direct descendants of the Shadow Clan are recovering in a deep sleep. These beings represent the ultimate foundation of the Black Sun Tribe’s strength.
The idea of commanding such a force?
It left the Demon Emperor’s Son and the Heavenly Ghost paralyzed with shock, followed quickly by a creeping sense of dread.
Before their terror could take root, Su Lin sent another spiritual message: "There is no need for fear. I am not a member of the Black Sun Tribe. If I were, I would have no reason to help the emperor’s son resolve this internal struggle through peaceful means."
It took a long moment for the Demon Emperor’s Son to shake off his fright. "I... I see. Then how exactly will Brother Mo Peng manage to summon the Black Sun Tribe?"
"I have my own methods. If the emperor’s son believes this path is viable, then act upon my counsel. If you find it lacking, then consider my words worthless and seek guidance from another sage!"
Su Lin chose not to reveal his full hand.
This was not due to a lack of trust in the Demon Emperor’s Son or the Heavenly Ghost; their goals were currently intertwined with his, making them reliable allies.
Nevertheless, certain maneuvers must only be brought to light at the final second to ensure every player fulfills their designated role perfectly!
While Su Lin did not consider himself a master of imperial court intrigue, he could not have ascended from nothing to his current height without mastering the art of strategy.
"Very well! Brother Mo Peng, if we succeed, the Ten Thousand Demon System will wage a total war on your behalf once, and I, along with my personal retainers, will follow your orders on three separate occasions!"
After several minutes of intense deliberation, the Demon Emperor’s Son finally sent back a firm spiritual confirmation.
He was not a man prone to hesitation.
The reason he had been able to overshadow the other princes and secure his position as the true successor was his talent for forging alliances and earning the genuine loyalty of various factions.
More importantly, the Demon Emperor’s Son possessed a keen eye for talent!
A seasoned Half-step Taboo, the backing of the Heavenly Destiny Clan, and the potential to mobilize the Black Sun Tribe—this was a hand worth betting everything on.
This was especially true because Su Lin and the Heavenly Ghost were correct: if they relied solely on the current voting cycle, the prince might win over the Ancestor-level forces within the nebula, but his overall chance of defeat remained high.
With the four Demon Emperors away, the trillions of quasi-Sky Realm soldiers and the three hundred billion elite Heavenly Boundary troops under the Demon Star Lord were exhausted by constant conflict!
They had been fighting for far too long!
Since the odds of a conventional victory were already bleak, refusing to take this gamble would be synonymous with accepting eventual defeat.
When the final struggle for survival inevitably arrived, the entire system would face even greater devastation!
Driven by these realizations, the Demon Emperor’s Son quickly finalized his pact with Su Lin.
He even went as far as offering the Ten Thousand Demon System's premier Space-Time Altar as a down payment for Su Lin's services.
Even the Heavenly Ghost committed to following Su Lin’s lead.
Shortly after the conclusion of this clandestine meeting, a specific narrative began to emerge from the core of the Ten Thousand Demon System, spreading rapidly throughout its entire territory.
