Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 1762 - 990: Awakening the People’s Will, Reigniting the Military Spirit!
Previously on Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf...
The Ten-Monster System is a massive expanse, covering a territory of roughly ten light-years.
Because of this scale, merely disseminating propaganda across the entire system would take both factions centuries to accomplish.
Consequently, in this war of information, time flowed like a river; two millennia slipped by in an instant.
Over these two thousand years, the propaganda regarding the impending war crisis brought both benefits and setbacks. While it successfully stoked flames of resentment toward the Heizi tribe among the populace,
The Ten-Monster Star Lord’s counter-propaganda made it appear as though the Prince was simply fabricating falsehoods to seize power.
Throughout this era, the internal debates regarding national policy within the system reached a fever pitch, with countless exotic beasts becoming deeply embroiled in the controversy.
It was clear to everyone that if either the Ten-Monster Star Lord or the Ten-Monster Prince took the throne, they would lead the system toward diametrically opposed extremes.
This realization naturally forced all exotic beasts to begin choosing sides and declaring their loyalties.
At this time, within the Star Emperor’s Palace where Su Lin and the Heavenly Ghost were staying, the Ten-Monster Prince arrived alone for a visit.
Nearly every high-ranking official serving the Ten-Monster Prince was aware that two of the most powerful members of the Heavenly Destiny groups were acting as his strategists in the struggle for the throne.
As a result, the area was swarming with spies, and the number of embedded undercover agents was impossible to count.
The Prince had to visit in solitude to ensure the absolute secrecy of their communications.
"Brother Mo Peng, the current situation has not only failed to improve, but many factions within the nebula layer now believe I am lying just to secure more votes. When do you intend to deploy the great army of the Heizi tribe? Just their appearance at the border would help me stabilize the situation."
Three thousand years passed in a flash. Despite the deteriorating circumstances, the Ten-Monster Prince remained remarkably calm. In these years, he had truly delegated all his authority to Su Lin.
He had essentially transformed into Su Lin’s public representative.
This arrangement allowed him to avoid exhausting his mental energy and instead challenge the Heart Tower left behind by his father once more!
The Heart Tower, much like the God Refining Formation, was designed to temper one's will and mindset while aiding in the comprehension of higher realms.
When the will and mindset are sufficiently developed, the understanding of higher realms often follows as a natural progression.
This explains why the majority of great clans, or the Star Sky Great Clans, possess such formations or powerful artifacts to forge the spirit.
Currently, although the Ten-Monster Prince’s Cultivation remains at the late stage of the tenth heaven, his presence is noticeably more profound than it was three thousand years ago, showing signs of reaching the peak.
"Is it not the time yet? Why? Are you feeling anxious?"
During these years, Su Lin had been Cultivating while simultaneously guiding the Ten-Monster Prince’s strategy for power.
Essentially, any requirement Su Lin had that was within the Prince's power was fulfilled. The entire system was effectively under his command.
This was a display of absolute and unwavering trust.
However, while assisting the Prince, Su Lin had planned extensively and even helped the Heavenly Ghost improve significantly.
This naturally consumed a great deal of his time and mental focus, resulting in Su Lin only advancing his Body Transformation to SSS-level over these three thousand years, while the Dragon Eagle Destruction Slash had yet to reach the Heavenly Boundary.
As for Evolution Essence, the various species' flesh and resources provided by the Ten-Monster Prince during this period allowed Su Lin to amass a substantial hoard.
"Brother Mo Peng, you misunderstand. I am not in a rush, I am simply concerned that if too much time passes and the Ten-Monster Star Lord successfully instills the idea of peaceful coexistence into the hearts of the people, it will be impossible to change their minds!"
The Ten-Monster Prince answered with humility.
He perfectly embodied the principle of trusting those you employ and not employing those you doubt.
Most importantly, he stayed true to the conditions they first agreed upon, allowing Su Lin’s schemes to proceed without friction, even adding several counter-measures against the Ten-Monster Star Lord.
"Do not fret. Have you ever considered which national policy is fundamentally the right one between yours and the Ten-Monster Star Lord's?"
Su Lin was not a strategist by trade.
However, having risen from nothing to become the Lord of Three Suns, his capabilities were all-encompassing, leaving him with virtually no flaws.
What the Ten-Monster Prince pondered, Su Lin had naturally already analyzed.
"I believe my father's policy is the correct one. Those who hide in a corner never meet a good end, especially considering the nature of the Heizi tribe. Their parent tribe nearly set the entire starry sky ablaze, devouring billions of races like a plague of locusts or a spreading tumor. Such a tribe can never coexist in peace. They are merely occupied with consuming my Ten-Monster System’s star core foundation and defending against other external forces.
"Therefore, we must continue to fight the Heizi tribe until our last resources are spent, or until we drive them out of the Blazing Nebula!"
The Ten-Monster Prince’s eyes burned with a blood-like vengeance and resolve, his spiritual will as unyielding as tempered steel.
"If that is the case, what do you think will happen now that these two policies have spread throughout the Ten-Monster Nebula?"
Su Lin remained unmoved by the Prince’s intense spiritual will, his voice staying perfectly level.
This prompted the Ten-Monster Prince to ask: "Brother Mo Peng, do you mean to involve all the ancestor-level military forces deeply in this policy debate?"
"Exactly! You must not only involve them in the policy discussions, but you must also have your scouts and agents organize massive debate forums to argue which policy is right and which is wrong. The Heizi tribe is like the Taotie; today, your father and the star core trade have sated them, leading to a peace treaty for ten eras.
"But what happens after those ten eras? Species of the Heavenly Boundary have eternal life, and all ancestor-level species hope to break through to that realm. After ten eras, what will they use to stop them? If they wish to bury their heads in the sand for a fleeting peace, then let them!"
