Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 1763 - 990: Awakening the People’s Will, Reigniting the Military Spirit!

Previously on Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf...
A propaganda war spanning three thousand years has divided the Ten-Monster System, as the Ten-Monster Prince and the Star Lord clash over the future of their civilization. While the Prince warns of the Heizi tribe’s predatory nature, the Star Lord counters with promises of peaceful coexistence, leaving the populace and exotic beasts deeply conflicted. Seeking to break the stalemate, the Prince turns to Su Lin, who has been quietly accumulating strength and influence as the Prince’s primary strategist. Su Lin advises a bold escalation: forcing a system-wide debate to expose the long-term futility of appeasement and reignite the military spirit of the people.

Su Lin provided the Demon Son with a resolute confirmation.

Ultimately, his views aligned with those of the Demon Lord and the Demon Son.

He was of the mind that the Demon Star Lord, along with every other top-tier beast, should reflect on this perspective.

It was possible that the Demon Star Lord and his peers harbored secret agendas, or perhaps they were truly exhausted by endless conflict. They might even be attempting to use this national policy to secure the allegiance of every Exotic Beast tribe.

However, the superficially attractive policy of peaceful coexistence falls apart under any real pressure!

That is its fundamental flaw!

Even ten full Eras of tranquility cannot protect it from reality!

Once the surface is scratched, the beautiful facade of this vision will inevitably crumble.

Even if this failure doesn't convince the most war-weary beasts to stop hiding from the truth, it will at least drive the passionate beasts—those who desire a definitive resolution—to side with the Demon Son.

This would only serve to strengthen the Demon Son's current foundation of power.

Therefore, besides the Nightmare Army serving as the final Fatal Strike, this exhaustive and profound debate could pave the way for the Demon Son to more easily unify all lords, vassal towns, and military forces beyond the nebula layer in the days to come!

"Brother Mo Peng, I am deeply indebted to you for this immense kindness and virtue!"

Recognizing the strategic brilliance behind the plan, the Demon Son once again offered a profound gesture of respect to Su Lin.

Following this,

Su Lin and the Demon Son turned their conversation toward the Heart Tower!

The Heart Tower was a Heavenly Boundary Heavy Weapon forged by the Demon Son's father to strengthen one’s state of mind. Since the ancestor maintained control over it, it could not be gifted to Su Lin.

Nevertheless, the Demon Son presented Su Lin with a Heavy Weapon that functioned similarly to the Heart Tower.

The Serenity Bell!

This particular artifact was a Peak High Heaven Realm Heavy Weapon.

It served as the second prize Su Lin claimed from the Ten Thousand Demon System.

While a standard Peak High Heaven Realm Heavy Weapon might not be extraordinary, one designed specifically for tempering the state of mind was priceless.

Such artifacts are exceptionally rare, frequently fetching prices dozens or hundreds of times higher than common weapons of the same rank.

In the past, a similar state of mind tempering weapon was sold at a top-tier auction by the Heavenly Destiny Clan on the Blazing Star Core for more than 90 billion Blood Stones.

That sum is roughly the value of half a Stellar System.

Thus, acquiring this Heavy Weapon was a significant gain for Su Lin!

In the future, while his Blazing Angel and Flame Angel Army Groups could rely on the God Refining Array to hone their state of mind, his other military units required their own methods for such tempering.

Without it, the disparity in high-level combat effectiveness would become too great in the later stages.

Having finally crushed the Radiant Sun Tribe, Su Lin was determined to ensure that his Blazing Angel and Flame Angel Army Groups never allowed them the chance to rise again.

......

At present, the propaganda regarding the two competing national policies—peaceful coexistence versus military readiness—has permeated the entire Ten Thousand Demon System so thoroughly that almost every Intelligence-Awakened Exotic Beast knows them by heart.

The campaign has even reached many newly emerged species.

Over the millennia, provided with ample resources, many of these new species have reached the level of Ancestor Level exotic beasts.

Consequently, even these newer groups have become a vital source of support in the ongoing struggle between the two factions.

As the promotion of these two future paths intensified, debates began to erupt across various camps.

Guided by an invisible hand, these arguments rapidly spread throughout the Ten Thousand Demon Nebula Layer and its surrounding territories.

The controversy grew so heated that it reached a boiling point where a final decision became unavoidable.

Once it started, this ideological conflict swept through a thousand years in what felt like a heartbeat.

Inside a temporary palace situated beyond the nebula layer,

"Star Lord, the entire system has been locked in a fierce debate over your and the Son’s policies. It appears the Son’s faction is fueling this, yet we cannot stop or refute it. A clash between two such major ideologies is bound to create divisions and arguments."

The four Demon Emperors and various lords had assembled within the hall.

For reasons they couldn't quite name, the millennium of debate had filled them with a sense of impending doom.

Even their own subordinate generals and beasts had begun to discuss the Son’s policies in secret—not out of simple bloodlust, but out of a genuine concern for the Ten Thousand Demon System's survival.

"Indeed, Star Lord. Within my own vassal town, small tribes are even chanting, 'Better to be the ghosts of a fallen clan than to live as submissive slaves.' I have disciplined them, but their hearts remain unchanged. What is our next move?"

As the four Demon Emperors and the lords expressed their anxieties, the Demon Star Lord sat upon his throne, reviewing the reports flooding in from all sectors.

He suspected this wasn't entirely the Demon Son's doing.

The Demon Son was known for his vision and his ability to recruit talent and win the loyalty of various factions.

Under his leadership, soldiers and civilians were united, forming a defense as solid as a fortress!

This was the reason why, despite commanding an elite force of 10 trillion Quasi-Sky Realm warriors, 3 trillion Heavenly Realm experts, and 70% of the advanced Star Energy Weapons, the Demon Star Lord still hesitated to use raw power to unify the system!

Even the minor conflicts of previous millennia were merely calculated moves to curb the meddling of the Heavenly Destiny Clan and prove his resolve to his followers.

Only a leader willing to risk everything can inspire his troops to follow him into the jaws of death on the battlefield.

"It is of no concern. Keep emphasizing the advantages of peace. If war breaks out, the progress of the last millennium could vanish instantly. Through peace, we might secure safety for ten full Eras. I believe the intelligent Exotic Beast Forces understand which choice is better."
