Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 1751: 984: The Details of Mr. Seven, the Terrifying "Unspeakable" (Part 2)
Previously on Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf...
After several hours of travel, the Starry Sky Battleship reached the perimeter of the Golden Sun Star System.
Su Lin could indeed feel the presence of a formidable Illusion Array enveloping the region, a formation powerful enough to lead even a peerless Heavenly Venerate astray.
However, as the Investment Mark on his skin pulsed with a shimmering Fluorescence, the illusions parted automatically, carving out a clear path for his arrival.
As Su Lin and his followers breached the nebula layer of the Golden Sun Star System, they found Qing Ming already standing by to receive them.
“Welcome, Wolf Lord. I have been awaiting your arrival for thousands of years.”
Qing Ming sent out this Spiritual Will, his humorous tone carrying a slight hint of a reprimand.
After all, Su Lin had truly taken millennia to show up, even though the Squad Leader had originally intended for the Wolf Lord to lead the very first mission.
That initial assignment required careful planning and tactical brilliance in the face of grave danger.
The Wolf Lord was a peerless Emperor known for carving out survival in hopeless situations; his participation in that first mission might have even forced him to reveal his hidden depths.
But because of the Wolf Lord’s delayed arrival, any secret schemes held by the “Unspeakable” had been effectively neutralized.
“My apologies. The system was only recently unified, and I had to personally supervise it for these past thousands of years.”
Su Lin offered no elaborate excuses.
At their level of Cultivation, blunt honesty was far more efficient than long explanations.
As beings who stood above billions of lifeforms, a simple nod was often enough to convey total understanding.
“Please, take these. This is Starlight Battle Armor, forged from Constant Star Light. While it provides no boost to combat power, it is exceptional at masking and altering one’s aura, Talent Secret Techniques, and other abilities. It is most effective when paired with Stealth Type Talents to hide one's true identity.”
Once he had escorted the Wolf Lord and his party into the nebula, Qing Ming produced several sets of Starlight Battle Armor, signaling for the Wolf Lord and his high-ranking War Generals to put them on.
The rest of the loyal Great Army was given simple talismans equipped with Stealth and Self-Immolation properties.
Should the Heavenly Boundary Mark ever be stripped away, these talismans would ignite, incinerating any evidence of their presence.
“Excellent. You have thought of everything.”
Su Lin didn't argue; after a brief pause, he sent back a confirming Spiritual Will.
He was well aware that these precautions were not merely for his benefit, but to protect the influence and standing of the “Unspeakable.”
Su Lin and the Wolf Pack Civilization were here to settle a debt with the “Unspeakable”; any exposure of their identities would certainly bring trouble to their benefactor.
With a mere thought, Su Lin inspected and donned the Starlight Battle Armor.
Following his lead, the Twelve-winged Dream Butterfly, Black Gold Demon Ape, Godspeed Golden Eagle, Fox-tail Algae, Lev, and the Dreamy Spiders also put on their armor. Qing Ming then guided the group into the guest hall of the Bili Imperial Hall.
Upon entering, they were met by rows of Star Sky Geniuses with overflowing Qi-Blood and massive Origin, all kneeling in respect.
Many of these individuals possessed natural talents that surpassed even the Dreamy Spiders.
In the eyes of the Godspeed Golden Eagle and Fox-tail Algae, these would be considered terrifying rivals in the outside world.
Yet here, these renowned Star Sky Geniuses were nothing more than servants, underlings, and playthings.
Witnessing the brutal and dark reality of the starry sky for the first time left the Godspeed Golden Eagle, Fox-tail Algae, and Dreamy Spiders profoundly shaken.
Their pride in their own talents withered, realizing how insignificant they were in a galaxy filled with endless star nebulae.
“Greetings, Mr. Seven. Now that Mr. Eight has arrived, we may begin.”
Su Lin immediately noticed another guest waiting within the massive conference chamber.
This individual was also clad in Starlight Battle Armor, which completely suppressed their aura and Cultivation level.
However, when Su Lin activated his vision to see the Numerical Attributes, he felt a surge of genuine dread.
The being identified as Mr. Seven was actually an Undead.
An Undead that had gained Consciousness was not necessarily terrifying; in the vastness of the Blazing Nebula, such species were to be expected.
But this specific undead had reached the Peak of Ten Heavens and mastered three Extreme Heaven Realms.
This marked him as a veteran Half-step Taboo with staggering potential.
Su Lin had only reached the status of a veteran Half-step Taboo by stacking numerous Extreme Heaven Realm Secret Talent Arts, largely because he had spent less time contemplating Dimensional Truth.
Most other Half-step Taboos spent billions of years in meditation to reach such a state.
Most disturbingly, this undead shared the exact same origin as the Undead Army Commander who had once left the Sky Wolf System.
This realization was the source of Su Lin’s profound shock.
He never would have guessed that Qing Ming’s "Mr. Seven" was a Half-step Taboo from the Undead Holy Sect.
The Undead Holy Sect was ruled by a single true Taboo Existence and only two Half-step Taboos.
This meant the ancient undead standing before him was either the Vice Sect Hierarch of that legendary Star Nebula Great Clan, or the Undead Warlord who commanded a third of the entire Undead Army Group and had long since stopped answering to the Sect Hierarch.
Furthermore, hearing the titles "Mr. Seven" and "Mr. Eight" in Qing Ming’s Spiritual Will, Su Lin realized these figures were likely all investment partners of the “Unspeakable.”
This only deepened the mystery surrounding the “Unspeakable,” whose reach apparently extended even into the core of the Undead Holy Sect.
“Very well. Let us start. I am quite curious about this ‘easier’ task you mentioned. I hope it isn't like the last time we had to face a Taboo head-on.”
The one called Mr. Seven transmitted a Spiritual Will that sounded surprisingly gentle and polite.
Had Su Lin not seen his true nature, he never would have guessed that such a harmonious voice belonged to an undead titan who haunted the bloodiest battlefields in the universe.
...
Turning to the two White Wolves who had followed him faithfully and excelled in the recent conflict, Su Lin rewarded them handsomely with three hundred pounds of meat. This unexpected bounty made Xiao Hui howl with pure delight, and while the Little Lone Wolf remained more reserved, his sharp, excited cry showed that both White Wolves were thrilled.
The rest of the Wolf Clan was not forgotten; every member who fought, including the White Wolves, Beta Wolves, and Hai Wolves, received their fair share. The cave suddenly felt like a festival, mirroring a human New Year celebration, as the more energetic wolves leaped about in excitement over their rewards.
After the Wolf Clan was settled, Su Lin looked toward the Bear Clan that had fought by his side. The leading White Bears watched him with intense anticipation, their hunger growing after seeing the feast given to the wolves.
Hunting in the Land of Adventure during the Extreme Day was a grueling task, and the onset of the Ice Age had introduced dangerous Variant Species that made survival even harder. A single lapse in judgment could mean dying in the jaws of a predator for just a few scraps of meat.
Many of the Bear Clan had joined the White Wolves specifically for the promise of steady food and the high-quality flesh of Variant Species.
Su Lin had no intention of neglecting those who bled for him; he let out a thunderous roar and distributed a massive amount of meat to the bears.
The Bear Clan gathered together, their long association with the Wolf Pack allowing them to understand the general meaning of the wolves' howls. They responded with happy, guttural grunts that echoed through the cave. This successful harvest solidified their bond with the White Wolves even further.
Su Lin recognized that this victory had deeply reinforced the loyalty of the tribes under his command. He did not hesitate to be generous, knowing that providing for his followers would build a true sense of belonging. His forces would continue to grow in power and unity until they became the undisputed Arctic Overlords of the frozen plains.
