Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 1906 - 1063: Bloody Harvest! (Part 2)

This outcome stands as the optimal achievement possible under the current circumstances.

Exactly due to the Heavenly Abyss Civilization's approach, the condition of its civilian factions surpasses that in the Predator Federation by a wide margin!

Yet, despite this countermeasure, the mood inside these two Star Nebula Great Clans slowly turned fraught.

Amid such strain, moments flowed away unnoticed.

....

In an instant, a further millennium had elapsed.

Across a complete thousand years, the missing Luck Stones showed no sign of return,

Instead, their value kept climbing, soaring to fiftyfold the initial rate.

The prohibition on internal dealings in the Heavenly Abyss Civilization got violated once more.

Numerous factions inside dared to stockpile them,

prompting the Heavenly Abyss Civilization to put many to death in an effort to deter others.

Still, it proved utterly futile, for the populace's resolve had crumbled into disorder.

With vital assets like Luck Stones under such manipulation, scarcely anyone could hold out forever.

Unable to fix the problem themselves, the Heavenly Abyss Civilization left individuals to handle it through their own methods.

Consequently, plenty of native inhabitants from the Heavenly Abyss Civilization started to depart their home sadly, moving toward other grand clans.

These paths pointed straight to the frontier zones under the Erosion Spirit King's domain and the present advance of the Dark Erosion Holy Hall!

Right now, with a snap of his fingers, Su Lin realized he had dwelt here for two millennia.

Honestly speaking, he never anticipated that these two Star Nebula Great Clans would endure so long amid such ethical decay without massive uprisings.

Evidently, he had misjudged the resilience of these two Star Nebula Great Clans.

The Predator Federation exploited this inside to gather a surge of exorbitant gains, bolstering their armed forces,

while ignoring civilian casualties, pulling all troops back to central bases and frontiers,

rendering domestic unrest meaningless to them and leaving their military strength untouched.

On the other hand, the Heavenly Abyss Civilization, intent on preserving civilian groups, saw its armed might severely hampered.

Presently, sustaining the costs for his one quadrillion soldiers grew ever more burdensome.

Absent resource inflows, depending only on loyalty and reputation, certain Exotic Beasts might fight temporarily.

Yet expecting every Exotic Beast to fight indefinitely was out of the question!

This trend signaled an impending breakdown of the military in the Heavenly Abyss Civilization.

"Wolf Lord! The ruler of the Heavenly Abyss Civilization and the Predator God have openly declared pacts with nearby Star Nebula Great Clans, vowing to deliver a massive shipment of Luck Stones in the next hundred years!"

At that point, the Twelve-winged Dream Butterfly arrived once more to update the Wolf Lord.

In truth, during these two thousand years, she had genuinely seen the dread of a separate front.

Even before combat erupted, these two Star Nebula Great Clans teetered on collapse.

Nevertheless, the events with the Heavenly Abyss Civilization and the Predator Federation sufficed to make other groups, including those Star Nebula Great Clans with robust commerce networks, break into a sweat in secret.

After all, every Star Nebula Great Clan had faced periods of soaring prices, but none as horrifying as this.

Thus, other Star Nebula Great Clans refined their protocols against price surges anew.

For mighty Star Nebula Great Clans holding immense stockpiles, or even the elite ones, they simply remained wary of such schemes.

Their ample reserves allowed them to steady the turbulent economy.

"No need to fret; they can't deliver them. Have the Dark Erosion Holy Hall and the Undead Holy Sect kept up their contributions?"

Su Lin dismissed it with a shake of his head, paying no heed to those alleged agreements.

For this round, his plan basically involved protecting "Unspeakable" against the two Star Nebula Great Clans.

As such, "Unspeakable" had earlier relayed confidential info, assuring the elimination of every Luck Stone convoy bound for the Heavenly Abyss Civilization and the Predator Federation.

Furthermore, the ethical decline inflicted on these two Star Nebula Great Clans went beyond just exploiting price gaps for gain; it aimed to dismantle their populations and armies entirely, steering them toward the Dark Erosion Holy Hall and the Undead Holy Sect of their own accord.

En route, he transformed these Exotic Beasts into assets, offloading them to those two dominant entities.

Trading Exotic Beasts!

In this Dark Starry Sky, nothing could be more routine.

Lacking solid backing and state safeguard, these Exotic Beasts would wind up as lone, destitute powerhouses or subjugated laborers under rival forces.

Even live Exotic Beasts fetched higher prices than simple Blood Food supplies.

After all, they could function as combatants, workers, builders, and more.

Su Lin auctioned an Ancestor-level fighter for half a Blood Stone.

New species went cheaper still; a thousand fetched merely half a Blood Stone.

Naturally, some fleeing powers and elites nabbed before getaway were, per Su Lin's directive to the Dream Guards, thoroughly plundered.

Gifted youths and mighty ones got conscripted as thralls into the Dream Guards.

Rebels faced swift execution!

Hence, Su Lin's goal transcended simple riches from market swings; it encompassed a total, multifaceted reaping of these two Star Nebula Great Clans.

The Greed Storm and Financial Storm served merely as the prelude to reaping these two Star Nebula Great Clans.

Su Lin and "Unspeakable" had settled that in two more millennia, commands would launch assaults on the Heavenly Abyss Civilization and the Predator Federation.

By then, these two vast Star Nebula Great Clans would lack the might to fight back effectively.

Landing a crushing strike on two Star Nebula Great Clans outdid the mere benefit of flipping their allegiance!

Thus, if "Unspeakable" truly hobbled these two Star Nebula Great Clans, demanding two quadrillion resources wouldn't seem too much, would it?

Meanwhile,

should "Unspeakable" launch hostilities against them, these two Star Nebula Great Clans would no doubt flock to the Undead Holy Sect.

This also served as a nod to the lurking Erosion Spirit King.

Regarding whether the gains Su Lin claimed came bloody?

What nonsense. In the Dark Starry Sky's contests for dominance, which meat-eater avoids the stain of blood?

.....

As for Tiffany in the Human Fortress, among the elite circles, she amounted to a barely useful instrument, much like her powerless classmates—mere disposable pieces for the high-ups. Though she had stayed in the Arctic with Sander all along, the Human Fortress mounted no rescue, which had thoroughly frozen Tiffany’s spirit. Noting how she could acquire new Variant Species meat in the Wolf Clan by simply aiding them, Tiffany and Sander both came to the same firm choice at once.

Su Lin took in the duo's facial cues completely; their sentiments rang true, matching what he wanted. He could practically predict how human civilization had crumbled long ago in the Ice Age, and for these pair in front of him, even minor perks would secure their unwavering devotion. Truly, a profitable exchange that Su Lin savored endlessly. Just intrigue lingered in his gaze.

Which formidable creature, capable of overwhelming the Mad Thunder Skyhawk with such astonishing might, would so boldly haul its corpse into the Land of Encounters?

Amid the Predators' stunned stares, the White Wolf, boasting superior prowess, emerged. Its velocity escaped the unaided eye, a streak of white flashing past ghostly quick, and when they blinked, the White Wolf perched on a far-off rise, unleashing a prolonged howl to lead the White Wolf Pack further into the Arctic...

This sight burned indelibly into the thoughts of countless Predators, who would carry that gleaming silver-white silhouette of the White Wolf through their days, incapable of wiping it away.

For among all creatures they had met, that White Wolf reigned as the supreme force. Its fearsome power kept them at bay, and its gaze, brimming with supreme contempt for everything, planted terror deep in their souls!

In the Land of Encounters, the perpetual daylight dimmed under cloud cover, and now, a heavy air pressure hung low, hinting at an approaching tempest. Fierce blasts of frigid wind swept across the Land of Encounters, touching every nook.
