Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 1767: 992: Swapping Base Camps for Propaganda!

While the external world was consumed by a fierce war of public opinion, several centuries slipped away in the blink of an eye.

By now, Su Lin and Tian Gui’s party had resided within the Ten Thousand Demon System for a total of five thousand years.

To an ancient veteran like Tian Gui, such a duration was nothing more than a fleeting moment. Aside from gathering exhaustive intelligence on the various factions and powers of the Ten Thousand Demon System, Tian Gui dedicated the majority of his time to cultivation.

However, for Su Lin, five thousand years was a significant span of time.

Since his own birth and the rise of the Wolf Pack Civilization, only a mere fifteen or sixteen thousand years had passed in total.

Throughout these five millennia, he maintained a connection through his One Lifetime ability, ensuring he had no major anxieties regarding the Celestial Wolf System.

Yet, his personal cultivation during this era only allowed him to gather enough Evolution Essence to rise by a single Level.

To achieve even this, he had been forced to siphon a massive quantity of Genetic Flesh from nearly half of the tribes within the Ten Thousand Demon System.

The sole consolation for Su Lin was that the Genetic Barrier had become slightly more distinct.

The Genetic Barrier!

If one were to define the checkpoints along the path of Genetic Metamorphosis, it would be this very barrier.

Each attempt to break through was incredibly daunting.

At present, even after consuming genetic fragments from two different species systems, this fifth Genetic Barrier was only just beginning to clarify.

This served as a testament to the immense difficulty of shattering the fifth barrier.

Beyond this,

Su Lin finally pushed his Body Transformation Talent to the Heavenly Boundary, and his Dragon Peng Destruction Slash reached the Heavenly Boundary as well.

To reach the Heavenly Boundary is to truly enter the hall of mastery.

The ferocity of the Dragon Peng Destruction Slash became absolute; while it could not yet equal the Bewildering Step in terms of single-target lethality, it now possessed the raw power of other High Heaven Realm secret techniques.

Outside of Su Lin’s individual progress, the Ten Thousand Demon System reached a fever pitch of public discourse during this window.

This was because the official voting commenced in the five-thousandth year, with all data set to be finalized by the time ten thousand planetary years had passed.

Consequently, the propaganda war within the system intensified to a dramatic degree.

Both the Emperor’s Son of Ten Thousand Demons and the Demon Star Lord personally participated in numerous promotional tours. It was settled that in a few months, the Demon Star Lord would campaign within the nebula layer, while the Emperor’s Son would promote himself in the primary vassal towns located outside the nebula.

This was a move to directly engage with the core territories of their rivals.

Every campaign event drew together countless species, creating a situation of extreme volatility.

However, neither side was willing to retreat an inch in a public opinion war that had reached such heights.

Furthermore, only about twenty percent of the ancestor-level exotic beasts had cast their votes so far, and yet the tallies were nearly identical, proving the necessity of invading each other’s core regions for promotion.

During this interval, the Emperor’s Son of Ten Thousand Demons did not come to challenge Su Lin.

This was because all the strategic planning was essentially set in stone!

Now, the competition rested on who possessed more contingencies and more powerful hidden cards.

Regarding the national agendas of both factions, while the Emperor’s Son’s policies appeared more logically sound, many exotic beasts were truly exhausted, desperate for a long-awaited peace and the opportunity to recover.

This resulted in a stalemate where, even after the storm of heated debate, support for him and the Demon Star Lord remained split fifty-fifty.

Even at this moment, both sides tirelessly campaigned in their own strongholds, as no one wanted their foundation to be undermined in the coming months.

At this time, Su Lin also emerged from the Star Emperor Hall.

His appearance signified that the Nightmare Army was now fully mobilized, as the Black Gold Demon Ape had returned to his side.

Even the Twelve-winged Dream Butterfly had disappeared without leaving a trace.

Over these past centuries, the Twelve-winged Dream Butterfly had acquired ten Heavenly Boundary Marks, causing her cultivation to advance at a lightning pace. She had already formed the prototype of the tenth Heavenly Boundary Mark and entered the realm of the Ten Heavens.

It could be argued that within the entire Wolf Pack Civilization, second only to Su Lin, the Twelve-winged Dream Butterfly had experienced the most rapid ascent in power.

It took her little more than ten thousand years to leap from the Nine Heavens to the Ten Heavens.

To many elite Star Sky Geniuses, such a feat was nothing short of a miracle and a legend.

Furthermore, influenced by the wisp of the Peng Emperor’s true blood within the Blood Ring, her physical form and combat strength were now formidable enough to compete with many dominant physiques in her same realm.

Su Lin even suspected that even the Young Master of the Sky-Cunning Beast from the past would not dare to claim equality with the Twelve-winged Dream Butterfly at the same level.

On this occasion, he intended for the Twelve-winged Dream Butterfly to carry out a vital mission, one destined to be the most spectacular act in the Ten Thousand Demon System’s struggle for power!

As he stepped out of the system, Tian Gui also arrived, leading thirty thousand Black Robe Undead to rendezvous with him.

“Mo Peng, what are your orders for me?”

During this period, Tian Gui had watched Mo Peng’s entire strategy unfold from a close distance. He understood that although five thousand years remained until the conclusion of this power struggle,

it was evident that the individual standing before him intended to settle the matter during the Emperor’s Son’s upcoming patrol outside the nebula.

This realization filled him with genuine admiration for this new “Unspeakable” investor, as well as a faint, hidden dread.

Tian Gui did not know which side they truly served or what their ultimate role was,

but he recognized that an entity capable of commanding the Black Sun Clan—and possessing such peerless strategy, foresight, and martial prowess—would certainly not find their journey ending here.
