Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 1917 - 1068: The Mandate Army Sets Out, Wangshu Zone
Previously on Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf...
The Black Sun's Nine Veins include seven quasi-taboo and two true taboo lineages, with every single one powerful enough to match the top Nebula Great Clans.
The Upper Three Veins possess unmatched might; they are responsible for seizing both the Southern Star Core and the Northern Star Core.
Positioned over two Main Star Core Fragments, these three veins boast resources on par with a near-top Nebula Clan such as the Sky-Cunning Beast,
which means even they fail to truly awe the Black Sun Clan.
Nevertheless, the Heavenly Destiny Clan has begun stirring into action.
Controlling the whole Blazing Nebula—the wealthiest and most resource-packed Central Star Core—they've stationed sixty trillion soldiers from the Heavenly Destiny Army, quietly surrounding the legendary Heavenly Forbidden Mountain!
Remember, every member of the Heavenly Destiny Army is at minimum a quasi-Sky Realm fighter!
All armed with Star Energy Weapons that outclass those of any other major army.
In essence, these sixty trillion Heavenly Destiny Army soldiers rival the core forces of a formidable Nebula Clan.
Commanding this vast sixty trillion Heavenly Destiny Army is the remarkably transcendent Heavenly Destiny Deputy Sect Leader, set to rule over the entire Nebula!
Right now, the Heavenly Destiny Deputy Sect Leader perches atop a Heavenly Altar at the Taboo Heavy Weapon tier, his face serene and all auras withdrawn, unveiling his actual shape and features.
Many powers struggle to accept that this Heavenly Destiny Deputy Sect Leader turns out to be a human torso fused with a snake tail!
Keep in mind, the Heavenly Clan has traditionally taken serpentine forms, never manifesting otherwise!
However, this Heavenly Destiny Deputy Sect Leader sports a human upper body paired with a snake lower half!
This points to his Heavenly Clan lineage being thoroughly diluted!
For an impure Heavenly Clan individual to ascend to Forbidden Level and claim the Deputy Leader role in the Heavenly Destiny Clan defies all conventional laws and great clan norms, yet it fails to overshadow this transcendent and otherworldly presence.
"Heh, Heavenly Forbidden Mountain, I truly misjudged you. Who would have thought you'd harbor a half-crippled Forbidden Giant. Without doubt, the primary lineage of the Blazing Flame Clan I've sought must be under your protection."
Such a Spiritual Will emanates from this transcendent and otherworldly entity.
This Spiritual Will mirrors the otherworldly nature of the Illusion God, utterly alien to this Dark Starry Sky.
Yet it surpasses even the Illusion God's in its loftier and more commanding essence!
Remarkably, when referring to the Forbidden Giant, this transcendent being displays zero shift in emotion.
This indicates that while he might not have reached that pinnacle, he remains far from cowed.
Be aware, a half-crippled Forbidden Giant alone could shatter an entire starry sky!
As the Heavenly Destiny Clan's massive army presses forward steadily,
encircled by the Central Star Core and countless Star Core Fragments, a colossal starry mountain chain stretches across multiple light years, resembling a dormant giant beast silently looming in place.
Encircling it are enigmatic patterns and Dimensional Truths, plus lingering traces of the Blazing Star Core’s Will of Heaven and Earth, as though safeguarding a hidden secret.
At present, beyond the two Main Star Cores held by the Black Sun Clan, all other Star Cores brim with ceaseless warfare.
Though this conflict largely swirls around the storm's heart.
In peripheral regions, save for positions held by key powers, things stay mostly as they were before.
.....
Wangshu Zone!
In this area, only the Red Sun Empire and Wolf Pack Civilization have openly backed the "Unspeakable," while other Nebula Great Clans lack even the standing to receive an invitation for alignment.
Even the originator of this Nebula-scale strife, the Bright Day System!
Upon learning of the Red Sun Empire and Wolf Pack Civilization’s positions, it displayed no astonishment and took no further steps.
Indeed, the Bright Day System recognizes that these two entities will merely gain some resources for their support, without committing any forces!
For one, the distance is immense, roughly three thousand light-years away from the Star Core!
Furthermore, the Bright Day System dominates the sole Ancient Starry Sky Road connecting the chaotic zones to the Star Core within the Wangshu Zone, meaning any aid would require carving a fresh Ancient Starry Sky Road or wresting the current one from the Bright Day System!
On the flip side, the Red Sun Empire and Wolf Pack Civilization, unlike the Bright Day System, hold no incentive to ignite chaos!
Additionally, while the Bright Day System has roots on the Star Core, neither the Wolf Pack Civilization nor the Red Sun Empire possesses holdings there, so they’d be unwise to squander resources aiding rivals!
As a result, the whole Wangshu Zone has stayed serene through the intense upheavals of the last ten thousand years.
In contrast, conflicts in the eastern starry sky of the Sky Wolf System have intensified.
Thanks to the Void Abyss Mayfly Clan's involvement, they've secured certain edges, despite losing two-thirds of their numbers in combat, with the surviving third emerging tougher.
They've also captured plentiful resources, swiftly expanding their forces.
Even the Void Abyss Mayfly Clan's core troops, after exhausting their home territories, succumbed to the allure and, absent any formal notice—not even alerting partners like the Bright Day System and Hundred Stars Alliance—unleashed a full assault on the Wolf Pack Civilization!
Teamed with coalitions from the Proxima Centauri Star System, Bader Star System, and various other stellar alliances opposing the Wolf Pack Alliance, the eastern starry sky now teeters on the brink of chaos.
The full eastern starry sky depends entirely on the Undead Army Group, the Wandering Army Group, and select human contingents, steadily yielding ground and pulling back repeatedly.
What's more, the Wangshu Zone sees no significant clashes overall.
Thus, this front has drawn the spotlight across the Wangshu Zone.
.....
Meanwhile, Xiao Hui, true to his spirited personality, retains the carefree vibe of an eight-year-old despite his sharpened wits, fixated solely on trailing Su Lin to dominate territories and proclaim the Wolf Clan's prestige throughout the Arctic.
To the pair of White Wolves who trailed him and shone in the fray, Su Lin bestowed a lavish prize of three hundred pounds of meat, an unexpected boon that had Xiao Hui yipping in delight right away, and though Little Lone Wolf played it cool, his thrilled bark revealed their immense happiness to Su Lin.
Every wolf that joined the fight and earned notable feats—be it Beta Wolf or Hai Wolf—claimed fitting shares, briefly transforming the den into a vibrant hub, much like human New Year festivities, where spirited rewarded White Wolves bounced around with uncontainable energy.
Once the wolves received their portions, Su Lin shifted focus to the Bear Clan allies who charged into combat beside him, and after witnessing the wolves get hundreds of pounds of meat, the lead White Bears keenly anticipated their turns.
The Land of Adventure under endless Polar Day proves tough for foraging, and with the Ice Age ushering in numerous Variant Species, the already brutal Arctic hunt grows deadlier, where a single slip could end in fatal mauling by a beast over just scores of pounds of meat.
That's why numerous bears opt to stick with the White Wolves, drawn by reliable sustenance and superior Variant Species meat.
Su Lin, of course, didn't overlook these steadfast bear companions, so he let out a call and allocated generous meat hauls among them.
Huddled as one, the bears—having shared days with the White Wolf Pack—could somewhat grasp the wolves' howled intent, erupting in joyful "Ho Ho Ho" roars inside the den, this rich yield solidifying their bond to the White Wolves even more.
Su Lin knew too that this clash had deepened his followers' devotion, so he splurged on prizes for his battle comrades to lure additional creatures into loyalty. In time, Su Lin’s pack would swell in power and ferocity, evolving into the unbreakable Arctic Sovereign over frozen expanses!
With the Wolf Clan and Bear Clan duly honored, Sander and Tiffany at last drew Su Lin’s gaze; toward these two humans, Su Lin had anticipated their alliance with the Wolf Clan for mere endurance.
