Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 1900 - 1060: Storm of Greed, Soul Stone Speculation! (Part 2)

Previously on Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf...
A world-shocking tremor ripples through the star nebula as the Sovereign of the Undead Holy Church fuses with the Blazing Flame Clan's former overlord, Blazing Flame Ink, in a defiant bid to reawaken true power. Aided by the Sun Emperor, the Vice Sect Hierarch, and all gathered mighty beings channeling their energies through the Chi Hun Annihilation Ritual, the two taboo existences overlap and reassemble, suppressing Blazing Flame Ink's resistant will and birthing a formidable physical form with surging qi-blood. Decades slip by, during which the Erosion Spirit King encounters the neutral Wolf Lord, who prioritizes the immense resources amassed by the Heavenly Abyss Civilization and Plunderer Federation over any factional alliances.

During Su Lin's era on Earth amid the great struggles, human technology might not have advanced far, but their nuclear arms, mighty laser rays, bullets that pierce armor, and advanced seventh-generation fighters could still pose a real threat to Ancestral Species to a certain degree.

Thus, a lot of the peak human experiences from Earth remain utterly baffling to societies and powers that revere strength above all.

Currently, Su Lin plans to take advantage of the flaws in resource trading from the Heavenly Abyss Civilization and the Plunderer Federation to set up a massive wealth bonanza!

The Erosion Spirit King only needs to work alongside a handful of secret agents under the Wolf Lord's guidance to handle several simple duties!

Furthermore, from the Erosion Spirit King's perspective, these two Star Nebula Great Clans seem to waver and contemplate joining the 'Unspeakable' and the Sky-Cunning Beast,

Should completing just a few easy missions given by the Wolf Lord push them to fully abandon their positions, they might eagerly turn into subordinates of the Undead Holy Sect,

That would count as an enormous success!

As a result, the Erosion Spirit King finally accepted every one of the Wolf Lord's requests, positioning his enormous Undead Army Group of countless trillions at the borders of both sides, and openly declaring the acquisition of soul stones from the Heavenly Abyss Civilization and Plunderer Federation.

Soul stones form the core extract from soul spirits, holding far greater worth than blood stones, star stones, or luck stones.

This stems from the broad uses of soul stones.

For instance, they foster soul power, boost soul body training, and keep divine sense sharp,

Whenever a soul spirit suffers depletion or damage, healing demands a huge quantity of soul stones, and even numerous soul spirit-based heavy armaments, soul spirit-type star energy armaments, and more, all call for substantial soul stone usage.

Consequently, soul stone values have consistently stood at tenfold those of blood stones, star stones, and luck stones.

Sometimes, they soar even beyond that.

For an immense soul body entity like the Undead Army Group, it already ranks as a prime user of soul stones, so the announcement of planning to buy soul stones fails to spark any notice from the formal or informal channels of the two powers.

In the end, such matters qualify as routine business.

However, unknown to all, hidden beneath this apparent routine, a scheme akin to a cosmic tidal wave in the starry expanse begins to take shape and reveal itself gradually!

.....

Right now, inside a fortress where the Heavenly Abyss Civilization meets the Undead Army Group, Su Lin and his companions had already hidden their auras, altered their appearances to mix seamlessly with diverse species crowds.

"Wolf Lord, the Undead Army Group's open call to buy soul stones has indeed drawn sales from numerous Exotic Beast Tribes, leading to a minor rise in market rates."

The Twelve-winged Dream Butterfly, having grasped the latest developments, came back to update the Wolf Lord.

Even she, who never strays from the Wolf Lord's side as a devoted follower and War Emperor, could scarcely fathom how the Wolf Lord boldly vowed that in just ten thousand years, these two Star Nebula Great Clans would lose all ability to shift loyalties or ignite massive conflicts?

One must remember, these represent two genuine Star Nebula Great Clans!

Though they might sit below the Wolf Pack Civilization in current rankings, their might as Star Nebula Great Clans stands pure and undeniable!

Thus, as the Twelve-winged Dream Butterfly accompanied the Wolf Lord in encountering that Marquis of the Undead Holy Sect,

She experienced profound respect for the Wolf Lord's skill in placing such a high-ranking spy!

And equal respect for the Wolf Lord's bold commitment!

"Indeed, excellent. Now, direct the Dream Guards to spread out and quietly begin acquiring soul stones, grab as much as they can until the whole market runs dry of soul stones; I desire every Exotic Beast and group in these two Star Nebula Great Clans to grasp that right now, soul stones will emerge as the hottest hard currency across this whole area!"

Su Lin caught the Twelve-winged Dream Butterfly's look of surprise, yet offered no clarification.

Since these strategies draw from minor schemes that floated around on Earth.

Simply, these minor schemes tap into humanity's avarice and basic weaknesses, while capitalizing on gaps in the market.

And at present, those same qualities exist within these two Star Nebula Great Clans too.

Particularly with the Western Star Core locked in endless warfare for years, prompting every power to overlook the resource exchange framework.

With this oversight, it grants Su Lin true space for maneuvering!

Ten thousand years?

Su Lin believes that timeline feels overly extended!

Since when the whirlwind of avarice and economic chaos fully erupts, it typically demands only a brief span to shatter all foundations,

sparking a moral decay in humanity, resulting in a total fall of values!

Particularly in this time when resources outweigh life itself in worth!

In the old human times on Earth, despite firm controls, such economic upheavals and greed tempests could rock social stability,

Hence in this unchecked domain, where no great clan would senselessly purchase for mid and low-level Exotic Beasts and forces,

Su Lin yearns to witness just how profound the mental unraveling will be among all Exotic Beasts once it strikes?

Ultimately, in this shadowy cosmic age, these Exotic Beasts aren't tame or obedient subjects.

They all grasp a core truth: "survive yourself first, forget the rest!"

Upon failing to endure, a savage and gruesome spectacle of beasts devouring beasts, akin to humans consuming each other, is certain to unfold.

.....

Positioned in front of Meng Hu, observing Meng Hu's face that mirrored a soulless husk with icy detachment, free of any feeling's ripple.

A fierce sense of peril suddenly cloaked the Invincible Fierce Tiger's entire form, forcing a heavy inhale, as though he lay like helpless fish awaiting the knife, this sensation almost broke Meng Hu's spirit; the Invincible Fierce Tiger couldn't grasp why the White Wolf chose not to end him outright, but instead labored to haul him from the icy depths back to the Land of Adventure, this dread of what lay unknown flooded Meng Hu's core, and in this vulnerable instant, he held no strength to fight back, even through his inner turmoil, within the Land of Adventure—the domain of the White Wolf—resistance proved pointless.

Su Lin examined the Meng Hu in front of him, resembling a supreme ruler inspecting a captured servant, his eyes displaying cool apathy.

"Aoo—" Su Lin let out a gentle howl toward the nearby Wolf Clan, signaling them to remove this fading Siberia Tiger and watch over him carefully.

The nearby Wolf Clan quickly understood, with a few stepping forward to haul Meng Hu off; his injuries scraped along the floor, and the rotting wounds bled anew, leaving long streaks of crimson from Su Lin's position trailing clear out of the cavern, appearing without end.

Su Lin observed this path of blood, his eyes steady as a timeless pond.

Regarding the leftover Variant Species Flesh, Su Lin proceeded to distribute it according to achievements, an event the entire Wolf Clan awaited with keen interest, since for them, sustenance topped all else.

Some Wolf Clan members fixed hungry stares on the distant Variant Species Flesh, their eyes flashing with fierce hunger, as if Su Lin's command alone would ignite their drives, propelling them toward the Variant Species Flesh.

Su Lin's attention shifted to the pair of massive figures at his side, Xiao Hui detected their Wolf King's commanding look and instantly stood taller, while Little Lone Wolf held a humble, bowed stance, which greatly satisfied Su Lin.

As the Lead Wolf, Little Lone Wolf commands vast authority yet approaches Su Lin with deep respect.

And Xiao Hui, true to form, with his spirited character, even after gaining sharper wits, behaves like a child of eight, joyful and unbound, fantasizing about trailing Su Lin into fights, extending the Wolf Clan's fame throughout the Arctic.

In the face of these two steadfast White Wolves who delivered key aid in the latest clash, Su Lin lavishly grants them three hundred pounds of meat, the surprising generous prize sends Xiao Hui into exuberant howls of delight, and although Little Lone Wolf stays poised, his thrilled call discloses the shared excitement of both White Wolves to Su Lin.

The rest of the Wolf Clan, provided they joined the fight and earned notable honors, received ample rewards as well.
