Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 1778: 998: Resource Delivery, Bountiful Harvest!

Even at this moment, the son of the Demon Emperor remains indebted to Su Lin for three freely selectable treasures.

"Brother Mo Peng, is there anything particular you desire? Otherwise, I can offer three trillion star stones in exchange for those three optional treasures you might pick."

The son of the Demon Emperor appeared utterly earnest in his offer.

Su Lin pondered briefly before agreeing to the arrangement.

Truth be told, in the present state of the Ten Thousand Demon System, nothing essential catches his eye anymore.

All the species, exotic flora, and similar elements inside the system have been depleted across the last several millennia.

Regarding the items he truly craves—like the Emperor’s Robe from the Extreme Heaven Realm or the Blood Shadow Vine at the Peak of Ten Heavens—the son of the Demon Emperor, or more precisely the Demon Emperor himself, would surely come up with excuses to withhold them.

Therefore, grabbing some tangible star stones and departing seemed the wiser choice.

"Very well, take these three trillion star stones! Plus, Brother Mo Peng, here's the authority token from our Ten Thousand Demons Ancestor. Once you infuse it with your blood, it'll link you to the Destiny Stone."

Having delivered resources so lavish that even the Heavenly Ghost felt a pang of jealousy, the son of the Demon Emperor grew solemn and proclaimed gravely, "Furthermore, Brother Mo Peng, that vow I gave you earlier still stands. As the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons, I swear upon my vital essence blood and the prosperity of Ten Thousand Demons: whenever you require aid in the days ahead, both I and the entire Ten Thousand Demon System will lend our full support on three occasions. If I violate this pledge, let my form crumble and my destiny dissolve!"

Bang!

The son of the Demon Emperor sliced into his own skin, extracting essence blood while calling upon the fortune of the Ten Thousand Demon System to seal the oath!

A pledge of such magnitude from a powerhouse like this inevitably triggered a deep resonance within the Starry Sky Will.

Finally, the son of the Demon Emperor handed over the Wood Origin Jade Pendant, the very item that once preserved his life: "Brother Mo Peng, I've always kept this jade pendant close. Down the line, should you be unable to appear in person, let other beings bear this pendant to act on your behalf. Bearing it, I vow to rally the whole Ten Thousand Demon System to stand by you, no matter the peril!"

"Excellent! I get it. As we set off, we also send our wishes for your eternal vitality and for you to elevate the Ten Thousand Demon System to fresh glories, restoring the might of a premier Star Nebula Great Clan someday!"

Upon accepting the jade pendant, Su Lin projected a message of auspicious intent.

This intent conveyed hopes for the Ten Thousand Demon System's resurgence as a dominant Star Nebula Great Clan,

For it happened that merely a dozen years prior, the rankings of the "Unspeakable" Star Nebula Great Clans had undergone an update!

Those rankings revealed the Ten Thousand Demon System's drop to the level of a standard Star Nebula Great Clan, following the demise of the original Lord of Ten Thousand Demons, the annihilation of a billion-strong Heavenly Boundary army, the forfeiture of the Star Core Business, and the clash between the Star Lord and the Emperor’s son.

Yet, it clung to a leading position among those regular Star Nebula Great Clans.

Hence, Su Lin’s message acted as a boost of morale for the son of the Demon Emperor!

The Emperor’s son took it to heart with true appreciation,

Following a couple more meaningful looks exchanged, Su Lin and his Heavenly Ghost companions activated the Space-Time Altar and vanished entirely.

The son of the Demon Emperor gazed toward their exit point, his gaze flickering with real hesitation to part,

Yet beyond the hesitation lurked a heavy sense of duty and gravity.

The son of the Demon Emperor fully grasped the terrifying, matchless prowess of the Heavenly Destiny Clan; with just two beings on the brink of taboo existence and a handful of aides, they had flipped the Ten Thousand Demon System upside down,

propping him onto the throne while compelling the formidable Demon Star Lord to escape into the cosmos, his fate uncertain.

So, though he had plotted to dodge settling the rest with the Heavenly Destiny Clan, he ended up clenching his jaw and yielding.

"Sigh, half the supplies meant for the coming three eras must now cover this debt. When will I avenge the Star Core Business and my father's slaying?"

The son of the Demon Emperor lingered there awhile, then shook his head with a profound sigh.

However, the son of the Demon Emperor remained unaware,

The debt he carried wasn't truly to the Heavenly Destiny Clan, nor were the Heavenly Ghost and Mo Peng affiliates of the Heavenly Destiny Clan's near-taboo elites,

but rather to a far more enigmatic and inscrutable Cold-blooded Business Group.

…..

Now, having exited the Ten Thousand Demon System, Su Lin and the Heavenly Ghost atop the Space-Time Altar resumed their talk with Mo Peng: “Mo Peng, I'm thinking of heading to the Star Core Trading City. Care to come along? Prices there are way more affordable, and with backing from all Star Nebula Great Clans except the Heizi Tribe, it's extremely secure.”

In the immense expanse of the starry sky, Su Lin counted as a fresh arrival.

He'd only tapped into the “Unspeakable” auction for bulk material acquisitions, so securing another reliable source for buys was essential.

Moreover, his Origin Space had refilled once more, allowing him to snag yet another load of elite star energy weapons.

Keep in mind, his trip to the Ten Thousand Demon System went beyond claiming the over eighty trillion star stones granted by the son of the Demon Emperor.

It aimed for a grand total reaching tens of trillions!

For beyond the system's borders, the Demon Star Lord had concealed a modest vein of star stones.

In the hundred years Su Lin had been absent, while forging soul bones and undermining the Star Lord, he had also tapped that star stone vein, stashing all six trillion yielded star stones into his Origin Space.

The billions of Heavenly Boundary Third Level and quasi-sovereign powerhouses garrisoned there got relocated to the Sky Wolf System too, under the command of the fully subverted Demon Star Lord through the Space-Time Altar.

This Demon Star Lord, alongside his billions of Heavenly Boundary Third Level and quasi-sovereign forces, would serve as yet another devastating hidden weapon for Su Lin!

Su Lin skipped renaming them altogether, dubbing them the Demon Breaking Formation Army!

…..

In the meantime, Su Lin guided his formidable wolf pack in a rapid dash back to their old domain. A frosty aura crept stealthily over the whole ice plain they traversed. The pack's brisk pace stirred icy gales, and lurking hunters detected the overwhelming might of the wolves, emitting subdued snarls of caution.

Deep in the perilous Arctic wilds, bonds boil down to hunter and hunted. The White Wolf's intimidating aura invading other beasts' realms set many hackles rising, their eyes glowing with ghostly green as they tracked the White Wolf pack's every action in tense silence.

As soon as the massive silhouettes of the White Wolves faded from sight, those predators drew a collective breath of ease.

Su Lin raced the pack back to their prior grounds, drawing comfort from the well-known landscape. The cave-dwelling cousin Red-tailed Fox Wolves caught the recognizable aroma, tails whipping in delight as they bounded out, soon espying the snow-dusted wolves.

Su Lin eyed with approval the pack's synchronized and rapid motions arrayed before him. This group brought him the greatest satisfaction, destined to be his strongest allies in future assaults and clashes. With the pack growing ever more exceptional, he could confront foes free of any worries,

For wolves thrive as a collective by nature, and he had no plans to roam as a solitary wolf.

Then, Su Lin threw back his head and unleashed a mighty howl northward into the distance, calling the wolves from their icy shelters to regroup and head to the Land of Adventure, keeping their food stores protected and evading any roadside threats.

The wolves acknowledged the command with booming howls of their own, then burst forth in all directions at top velocity, as if eager to flaunt their remarkable swiftness and vigor to the Wolf King.

Beholding the pack's fiery enthusiasm, Su Lin hardened his commitment to guide them in conquering the Arctic. Amid the Ice Age's relentless evolution, raw power dictated survival alone. Failing that, one risked becoming fodder for the mighty—a destiny Su Lin refused utterly!

Su Lin watched the Little Lone Wolf, joined by two Beta Wolves, hauling the leftover carcass of the Invincible Fierce Tiger. Their gait lacked agility and bounce, signaling a deliberate challenge from the Little Lone Wolf to affirm that, as team Betas, they must embody unyielding resolve and bravery. Still, Su Lin held his tongue.
