Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 1760 - 989: War Crisis, Massive Propaganda!

"Brother Mo Peng, I beg of you, please guide me!"
The Demon Emperor’s Son bowed profoundly once more after hearing that Su Lin was willing to make an attempt.
For a prince hailing from a prestigious Star Nebula Great Clan to show such humility would make many feel that dying for a jade dragon or fulfilling a vow at the golden tower was a worthy fate!
Unfortunately for him, the status held by Su Lin and the Heavenly Ghost was in no way inferior to that of the Demon Emperor’s Son.
Accepting the prince's respectful gesture without hesitation, Su Lin spoke, "Thousands of planetary years remain before the official voting concludes. My suggestion is for the emperor’s son to circulate a rumor: claim the Black Sun Tribe intends to use the Peace Treaty as a smokescreen to distract the Demon Lords, while preparing to launch an invasion shortly."
The Demon Emperor’s Son fell into deep thought upon receiving this spiritual will. Eventually, he replied, "Brother Mo Peng, while such propaganda aligns with my father’s national strategy, the Demon Star Lord and other military factions might dismiss it as a mere ruse. It is unlikely to grab their attention."
Intelligent Exotic Beasts are far from simpletons. Those who have reached the Ancestor Level possess intellect comparable to the humans of old.
Furthermore, though their rate of learning slows after reaching certain heights, their wisdom continues to accumulate over their long lifespans.
Consequently, an Ancestor-level military force is far too shrewd to be manipulated by a simple decoy.
Beyond that, the Demon Star Lord is actively campaigning and building his own momentum; his first move in this war of public opinion would undoubtedly be to debunk such claims.
Su Lin remained impassive, casting a cold and detached gaze toward the Demon Emperor’s Son. "And... if the Black Sun Tribe actually arrives? It would no longer be a decoy. Since both parties only signed a preliminary peace agreement in principle, the treaty has not technically been enacted."
As Su Lin’s spiritual will faded, both the Demon Emperor’s Son and the Heavenly Ghost bolted upright, staring at Su Lin with profound amazement.
The implications of his words were staggering!
Neither the prince nor the Heavenly Ghost could have imagined that Su Lin possessed the power to command the Black Sun Tribe!
In the current Blazing Nebula, three supreme clans stand above all others!
Among them, the Black Sun Tribe is the most formidable!
With Nine Lords, two absolute Taboo entities, and seven who have reached the Half-step Forbidden Peak, who could possibly match their elite combat strength?
The tribe consists of nine distinct veins, and every single one has the power to wage bloody warfare against standard Star Nebula Great Clans.
The Black One and Black Two veins are particularly terrifying; they are capable of sweeping across the entire Blazing Nebula, boasting ranks filled with numerous Vein Masters and an endless supply of War Generals!
Furthermore, rumors persist that within the heart of the Black Sun Tribe’s territory, several direct descendants of the Shadow Clan are in a deep sleep recovering from ancient wounds—this represents the tribe's most devastating foundation.
To lead such a force?
The Demon Emperor’s Son and the Heavenly Ghost were left paralyzed by shock, followed quickly by a creeping sense of dread.
Sensing their growing fear, Su Lin sent another spiritual message: "There is no need for alarm. I do not belong to the Black Sun Tribe. If I did, why would I bother assisting the emperor’s son in settling this internal power struggle through peaceful means?"
It took a moment for the Demon Emperor’s Son to shake off his terror. "I... I see. In that case, how does Brother Mo Peng intend to summon the Black Sun Tribe?"
"I have my own methods. If the emperor’s son deems this plan viable, then act upon it. If you believe it is flawed, then consider my words worthless and seek counsel from another sage!"
Su Lin chose not to reveal his full hand.
This wasn't due to a lack of trust in the Demon Emperor’s Son or the Heavenly Ghost; their goals were currently intertwined, making them natural allies.
However, certain stratagems must remain hidden until the final moment to ensure every player fulfills their designated role perfectly!
Su Lin did not consider himself a master of imperial court intrigue.
Nevertheless, he could never have ascended from nothing to his current height without mastering the art of tactics!
"Very well! Brother Mo Peng, if we succeed, the future Ten Thousand Demon System will fight on your behalf with total devotion once, and I, along with my subordinates, will follow your commands three times!"
After several minutes of intense deliberation, the Demon Emperor’s Son sent back a resolute spiritual will.
He was not a man prone to hesitation.
He had managed to eclipse the other princes and secure his position as heir because of his talent for forging alliances and earning the genuine loyalty of various factions.
More importantly, the Demon Emperor’s Son possessed a keen eye for talent!
A seasoned Half-step Taboo, backed by the Heavenly Destiny Clan and possessing the means to move the Black Sun Tribe—this was a gamble worth taking.
As both the Heavenly Ghost and Mo Peng had pointed out, if they relied solely on the current voting process, the prince's chances of winning were slim, despite his confidence in securing votes from the nebula's Ancestor-level powers.
With the four Demon Emperors away, the trillions of quasi-Sky Realm troops and the three hundred billion Heavenly Boundary elites under the Demon Star Lord were weary of conflict!
They had been fighting for far too long!
Since the odds of a standard victory were already low, refusing to gamble now would simply be waiting for an inevitable loss.
A final, desperate struggle later would only cause greater chaos for the entire system!
With these thoughts in mind, the Demon Emperor’s Son quickly finalized his pact with Su Lin.
He even went as far as offering the Ten Thousand Demon System’s greatest Space-Time Altar as a down payment to Su Lin.
The Heavenly Ghost also pledged to follow Su Lin’s lead.
Shortly after the conclusion of this clandestine meeting, a report began to circulate within the Ten Thousand Demon System, rapidly spreading throughout its entire sphere of influence.
