Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 1907 - 1064: The Collapse of the Star Nebula Great Clans

Moreover, the Dark Erosion Holy Hall, yet another immense faction, had forged ties with the "Unspeakable" during this timeframe, leading Su Lin to suspect it could be aligned with the investors as well.
This realization filled Su Lin with a sense of dread regarding the profound depths of "Unspeakable’s" schemes.
Fortunately, "Unspeakable" steered clear of the power struggles; had it joined in, its grasp on secret intel and command over numerous mighty investor groups would have made its influence rival that of the Heizi Tribe or the Heavenly Destiny Clan in any conflict!
Following that,
The Heavenly Abyss Civilization and the Predator Federation, these pair of Star Nebula Great Clans, after bottling up their issues for more than a millennium, forfeited the confidence of their regional powers due to the absence of Luck Stones supply.
"They’ve tricked us from the start! We must stop relying on these deceivers, stand up, and claim their Destiny Stones and Vast Sea of Fortune; part of that wealth is ours by right. They wouldn’t have built such immense riches without our support!"
"Precisely! Let’s revolt! Why must we endure hardship while they revel in such dominant Luck Blessing! Up with the uprising!"
Suddenly,
By the third millennium, despite the Heavenly Abyss Civilization and the Predator Federation deploying tactics like shaping public opinion, spreading info, and applying brute force to quell the disturbances over time, they finally failed to keep it contained.
The Heavenly Abyss Civilization dealt with just slight unrest, yet the Predator Federation confronted a massive uprising, where countless isolated bases were outright demolished.
Such market disorder soon rippled across the whole Star Nebula Great Clan.
"Urgent report! Your Excellency, Divine Emperor of the Predators, insurgents are sprouting everywhere, and now numerous rebels have banded together to advance on us!"
Within the Predator Federation’s central council room, pandemonium broke out once more.
It was safe to say nobody foresaw descending into such dire straits.
Consequently, the Divine Emperor of the Predators, seething with lethal rage, chose to personally direct the core troops to crush the revolt.
After all, the latest surge of avarice and economic upheaval among the masses hadn’t severely impacted the armed strength loyal to the Divine Emperor.
"Cease the doubts! Charge forward! I’ll witness how long their defiance lasts and how steadfast their determination truly is. Also, investigate why those allies pledged to supply Luck Stones haven’t delivered them yet?"
The visage of this Star Nebula Great Clan’s Divine Emperor twisted with blazing wrath.
He had expected some uprising from the masses, but never dreamed it would balloon to this scale, with practically every resident in open rebellion?
What happened to all those once-pliant herds and timid folk?
Bear in mind, such crowds only rebel when hunger gnaws at them!
Yet, what escaped the Divine Emperor’s knowledge was that the prior three upheavals and the skyrocketing Luck Stone costs had utterly transformed the outlook of the local groups,
Even those timid souls, repeatedly fueled by awakened desires, morphed into ravenous fiends!
Add to that the Divine Emperor’s harsh drafts and plundering, and they simply reached their breaking point.
The whole population erupted in revolt!
This initial outburst, though swift, wouldn’t topple the Predator Federation in an instant.
The Divine Emperor still held his core lands intact, and the troops’ spirit held firm!
No matter if every Exotic Beast among the civilians turned rebel, lacking cohesion, advanced Star Energy Weapons, or the bold ferocity for lethal clashes, they could never topple this veteran, war-tested force!
In certain respects, the Divine Emperor’s harsh measures might seem cruel, but they offered the sole path to survival amid utter catastrophe!
Nevertheless, as the Predator Federation launched its crackdown, the Star Nebula Great Clan drowned in gore and carnage, transforming into a merciless slaughterhouse!
The near quadrillion-strong legion, once unstoppable and peerless in battle, now suffered heavy losses during this inward purge.
At the same time,
The Heavenly Abyss Civilization’s plight fared little better,
While their masses stirred only faintly, their own soldiers had utterly shed their combat zeal.
Quelling even minor uprisings turned into a grueling task.
Lacking ample supplies, they struggled just to sustain the Heavenly Boundary True Intent, so nobody risked wasting Energy with former recklessness?
In essence, over just three millennia, these two Star Nebula Great Clans, famed for their savage might in the Western Star Core, began displaying clear symptoms of downfall.
Though they might still manage to stifle the inner revolts, total ruin wouldn’t strike immediately.
But Su Lin recognized that this infighting would rapidly erode their overall strength.
With enough duration, restoration was possible.
The resilience and recovery prowess of a Star Nebula Great Clan stood unmatched.
"Who dares? There’s clearly a schemer undermining us! Could it be the Undead Holy Sect, the Sky-Cunning Beast, or maybe the Unspeakable?"
By now, if the elite leaders hadn’t grasped this, they’d be utter simpletons.
Yet, even as the Master of the Celestial Abyss roared his demand at the pinnacle assembly of the Heavenly Abyss Civilization,
Not a single Exotic Beast offered an answer.
For this tempest of avarice and monetary chaos, sparked within the two Star Nebula Great Clans, had blazed uncontrollably, ensnaring every Exotic Beast—even numerous top officials in attendance.
Such stakes involved gains dozens of times greater; no soul could withstand temptations of that magnitude.
In the end, the Master of the Celestial Abyss resorted to splitting off another segment of the Celestial Abyss Destiny to soothe the Heavenly Abyss Civilization, though he gravely misjudged the Exotic Beast Species’ greed-fueled frenzy.
