Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 1867 - 1043: The Wolf Lord Returns, Inventory of Resources! (Part 2)

The spectacle captured by the Trace Crystal spread like wildfire throughout the entire Sky Wolf System in an instant.

Within the Sky Wolf System, following the chaos of the coup d'état, diverse variant species had grown to appreciate and firmly embrace the Wolf Pack Civilization even more.

Should additional uprisings occur, or even if Earth fell under enemy control, these variant species would continue to battle with unyielding ferocity.

Indeed, from the Serpent Emperor's swift suppression of the internal revolt to the Wolf Lord's bold campaign that returned with the foe's leader's severed head, such triumphant feats had firmly embedded themselves in the souls of these variant species!

Moreover,

With the resounding wolf howl signaling the battle's conclusion, Su Lin promptly declared a thirty-year phase of recuperation and rebuilding, accompanied by lavish compensations for every participant.

Unlike before, these incentives would extend far beyond mere blood food, supplies, honors, ranks in the forces, and the like; they would usher in a truly revolutionary system of accolades!

The Wolf Pack Civilization was set to bestow authentic Star Sky Feudal Towns and Lordships!

This prospect filled all elite exotic beasts, including those at the War King tier, with intense anticipation!

For Star Sky Feudal Towns and Lordships represented the ultimate heights of authority!

Within their personal domains, holders would reign as unchallenged sovereigns!

The immense and infinite starry expanse proved too vast for any lone force to manage flawlessly through rigid central command.

Thus, upon ascending to the ranks of a Star Nebula Great Clan, the enfeoffment of numerous lords became standard practice!

It formed an indispensable step for any formidable entity!

In response to the Wolf Lord’s mighty howl, almost the whole Sky Wolf System reverberated with echoing calls!

Countless elite exotic beasts who earned major contributions in the fray revealed blazing excitement in their gazes.

Yet, prior to the Wolf Lord’s official conferral, the identities of the new Star Sky Lords remained a mystery to all.

As a result, various War King-tier elite exotic beasts began energetically reforming their units, even restructuring their troops, all to impress the Wolf Lord, along with Shadow Unit One, Two, and the Imperial Guard Third Faction, who oversaw internal affairs during this time.

During this flurry of restructuring, Su Lin, as the guiding force of the Wolf Pack Civilization, stayed far from inactivity.

He had long relied on delegating duties to trusted subordinates such as Red-tailed, Lonely Wolf Emperor, Serpent Emperor, and Twelve-winged Dream Butterfly.

But on his arrival back this round, he discovered that the Wolf Pack Civilization's stockpiled assets had been almost entirely exhausted by the conflict.

Were it not for the Twelve-colored Furnace's power to process sin-tainted flesh, plus the blood food gathered by the five major military divisions and Hao Ri Princess, the whole Wolf Pack Civilization could have faced starvation upon return.

Consequently, Su Lin planned to conduct a full audit of the Sky Wolf System's existing resources.

After all, warfare—particularly a realm-spanning conflict of such magnitude—devours supplies at a terrifying pace.

Without proper assessment and equitable allocation of these assets, the entire Wolf Pack Civilization risked grinding to a halt in cultivation progress, or worse, descending into famine!

Su Lin's very promise of delayed rewards over thirty years aimed to buy time for resource gathering.

Su Lin promptly called upon Red-tailed and Serpent Emperor.

These two had for ages handled the management of resources and logistical operations in the Wolf Pack Civilization.

"Wolf Lord, the Sky Wolf System's resource stockpiles have dwindled to just ten percent, plus the haul from the freshly defeated rebels, marking a ninety percent loss overall. Especially, the Bright Day System’s forces consist entirely of Quasi-Sky Realm warriors, with billions reaching Heavenly Realm strength, now bolstering the Sky Wolf System’s upward momentum, yet pulling together massive resources for incentives remains virtually out of reach!"

Red-tailed commenced the briefing.

Next, Red-tailed provided in-depth accounts of exotic plant reserves, along with ancestor-level blood food, Quasi-Sky Realm blood food, and Heavenly Realm blood food.

As the Sky Wolf System continued its expansion, categories like blood food, exotic plants, Luck Stones, Mystic Bones, vital components, research-derived potions, and even technological arms and stellar energy gear all featured precise classifications.

Typically, resources fell into tiers: Ordinary—New Species—Ancestor Level—Quasi-Sky Realm—Heavenly Realm—Mid-Heavenly Realm—High Heaven Realm—Precious Grade—Ultimate Grade!

The outdated S/SS/SSS ratings for blood meat had been phased out long ago.

Potions aligned with those tiers!

That said, Ancestor Level potions targeted ancestor-level exotic beasts specifically.

Heavenly Realm potions suited those at the Heavenly Realm.

Precious Grade ones worked on Peak Venerable and Peak Heavenly Venerate stages.

Ultimate Grade impacted Half-step Taboo realms.

To this point, excluding the Wolf Lord’s unique Blood Ignition, Soul Burning, Evolution, and Recovery Potions that transcended levels, no research-line potions could be produced in bulk beyond High Heaven Realm, much less for superior tiers!

Technological weapons and stellar energy equipment kicked off at Ancestor Level!

This indicated their baseline capacity to slay or shield against ancestor-level exotic beasts.

As the Wolf Pack Civilization ventured deeper into the cosmos, any tech weapons incapable of handling ancestor-level threats had become relics of the past!

Listening to Red-tailed’s thorough update, Su Lin grew ever more aware of the pressing shortages in resources, potions, and gear.

In truth, the Wolf Pack Civilization stood as a fledgling Star Nebula Great Clan; after a single war, victory appeared resounding, yet it teetered on financial ruin.

This realization struck Su Lin once more about the vital, indispensable role of resources in the grim vastness of the starry sky!

Lacking resources, a force might sustain immense combat power briefly, but maintaining army cohesion and morale over the long haul proved impossible.

For the Wolf Pack Civilization's ongoing development or sustained campaigns, resources ranked as the top necessity; without them, all ambitions rang hollow.

......

Having honored the Wolf Clan, Su Lin shifted his focus to the Bear Clan, who had stood by his side in this fight. Under the White Bear's command, the Bear Clan buzzed with eagerness, having witnessed the hundred pounds of flesh granted to the Wolf Clan, now hungering for their own shares.

Hunting in the Land of Adventure amid endless polar daylight proved no simple task. Ever since the Ice Age's onset, countless variants had emerged among the wildlife, rendering the frigid Arctic even deadlier for pursuits. One wrong move might spell doom from a predator's jaws over mere scraps of meat weighing dozens of pounds.

Thus, a key reason so many Bear Clan members trailed the White Wolf lay in securing ample flesh supplies and superior variant species meat.

Su Lin had no intention of overlooking these Bear Clan allies who charged into battle with him, so he let out a powerful howl before handing out substantial portions of flesh to the group.

The Bear Clan assembled together, and after sharing daily life with the White Wolf Pack, they had picked up on the essence of the white wolf’s howls, responding with joyful roars of "Roar, Roar, Roar" echoing through the caverns. This bountiful yield only deepened their devotion to the white wolf.

Su Lin recognized how this clash had bound his allied groups tighter in loyalty, so he lavished gifts on those who fought at his command, aiming to attract even more creatures to his banner. Over time, Su Lin’s following would swell in might and resilience, evolving into the supreme, unbreakable ruler of the vast icy domain!

With distributions to the Wolf Clan and Bear Clan wrapped up, Sander and Tiffany drew Su Lin’s notice once more. Su Lin had foreseen long ago that these pair of humans would align with the Wolf Clan for mutual endurance.

Su Lin aimed to groom these two humans as his direct envoys, thus offering them bountiful rewards when encountering them. The flesh portioned out to Sander and Tiffany totaled a solid two hundred pounds, sufficient to sustain them for quite a while.

This abundance stunned Sander and Tiffany, yet it swelled their hearts with profound thanks toward the white wolf. They hadn't imagined that joining the fray would yield such a feast of provisions.

Sander found himself reminiscing about his time in the Human Fortress, where as a mere novice, he endured constant scorn and degradation. Furthermore, amid the dire shortages plaguing human communities, such valuable variant species flesh always went first to elites or robust New Humans, leaving bottom-dwellers like him utterly deprived. Against his former existence, he reaffirmed yet again the wisdom of his decision.
