Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 1864 - 1042: Sun Empress, Red Sun State Preceptor!
Previously on Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf...
As the primary powers on the star core turn their gaze more intently toward the Wolf Pack Civilization,
the factions across the Wangshu Zone cannot be dismissed lightly.
Within these, the Bright Day System—positioned nearest to the star core—has just learned of the complete destruction of billions of elite soldiers sent straight into their domain!
"What in the blazes! Billions of elite forces and tens of billions of Heavenly Boundary troops utterly erased in an instant? Didn't the Yao Star King boast it was a sure thing, that the worst outcome would be splitting up the Wolf Pack Civilization's main base? Is this his version of a sure thing?"
In that instant, inside a massive Fixed Star Palace, a bizarre silhouette clad in phoenix robes, radiating an alluring vibe, released a chilling and frosty Spiritual Will!
Beneath her stood many spies and reconnaissance leaders delivering their updates,
and this chilling Spiritual Will left them all quaking in fear.
For even though this enigmatic form wasn't the Sun Emperor herself, her influence and authority in the Bright Day System ranked just below the Sun Emperor's. She guaranteed the Sun Emperor could wage battles on the star core front without fretting over threats from behind!
She was none other than the Sun Empress!
Differing from other system powers, the Bright Day System consistently upheld a dual power structure.
One hub of authority revolved around the Emperor, leading the Grand Army in external conquests.
They served as the keenest blade across the whole Bright Day System, tasked with claiming new lands and purging betrayers.
At present, the troops loyal to the Emperor not only formed the billion-strong vanguard clashing on the star core lines but also anchored the core defenses on the star core itself, alongside multiple vassal groups pushing outward!
Their combined armed might reached tens of trillions.
The numbers might seem modest, yet their prowess ruled supreme, much like the old Demon Emperor's legions.
This army embodied the very core of the Bright Day System!
The second hub, under the Empress's guidance, oversaw domestic matters and warded off threats from the Wangshu Zone, echoing the role of the former Demon Tribes' Emperor’s Son.
Yet the Sun Empress far outshone the Emperor’s Son in stature, might, troop spirit, and every other measure.
The Sun Empress commanded the full expanse of the Bright Day Star System plus vassal territories spanning thirty light years, commanding a staggering nine hundred trillion in military strength!
This encompassed more than two hundred billion elite Heavenly Boundary warriors and close to thirty trillion quasi-sky realm fighters!
The Sun Empress seldom stirred to action, but during the cataclysm that split the star core, she ascended to the realm of an ancient half-step taboo.
Dozens of eras have sped by in a blink; nobody can say what heights her battle prowess has scaled?
Still, the Sun Empress stands universally recognized as the foremost power just shy of the Emperor!
One step below, yet towering over billions of clans!
This underscores the formidable strength of the Sun Empress!
"Empress, this disaster stems entirely from the Yao Star King's choices. We urged him repeatedly to hold off until the clash with the Wolf Pack Civilization resolved. But the Yao Star King feared the Wolf Lord might slip back solo to their home world, squandering the perfect chance!"
The spies and reconnaissance chiefs pressed on with their reports to the Sun Empress, their voices shaky.
This fueled the elegant yet imposing hall's mysterious and alluring form to project an ever more frigid and menacing presence.
After a prolonged silence, she at last issued her command.
"Issue my phoenix edict: the Yao Star King's battlefield blunder, his flawed grasp of timing, and the squandering of billions of elite soldiers warrant the downfall of ten clans. Considering his prior battlefield deeds, revoke his rank, cut off all privileges for his wife and offspring, confine them to the Sin Hall, and let him redeem himself through service!"
"Yes, wise Empress!"
In the end, the Sun Empress reined in her seething fury, delivering this decree.
For outright wiping out ten clans of the Yao Star King would shatter the resolve of frontline troops!
Yet once this Spiritual Will went out, the enigmatic phoenix-robed allure of the figure surged to the pinnacle of the Bright Day Star System, as immense waves of Force of Fortune roared toward the Sun Empress.
At the same time, a supremely majestic destiny device—elevated to Taboo Heavy Weapon status—gradually materialized ahead.
This destiny device took the form of a vast compass.
The Sun Empress planned to employ it in divining how the Wolf Pack Civilization triumphed in their monumental war against the Sea of Star Sand?
For even the Sun Empress found it baffling; in under a few centuries, the Wolf Pack Civilization had crushed the Sea of Star Sand—it felt utterly unbelievable!
Nevertheless, this divination dragged on for days, and despite blood seeping from the Sun Empress's eye corners, she failed to unravel the full picture.
Even so, grasping just a fragment filled the Sun Empress's gaze with stunned disbelief.
"Heavenly Destiny Clan? Unspeakable? Why does the conflict between the Wolf Pack Civilization and the Sea of Star Sand bristle with such heavy ties to them? Could the Wolf Pack Civilization be the faction they've backed?"
With that, the Sun Empress halted her efforts cold!
For it tangled with elite Star Nebula Great Clans and forbidden entities.
Pressing further might unleash dire repercussions, even backed by the Bright Day System's boundless Fortune and destiny safeguards!
It could even provoke the wrath of genuine taboo beings!
"Ah!"
Though she ceased promptly, blood from her essence still streamed from the Sun Empress's eyes and lips.
"Relay my commands: order every spy in the Wangshu Edge Zone into full Silence protocol—no outreach without my call—and pull back all scouts from the Wangshu Edge. Show no aggression toward the Wolf Pack Civilization on the outside, and pour all efforts into fortifying defenses!"
