Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 1765 - 991: Extinction Arrow, Tenfold Heaven Mark!

Internal power struggles within a massive Star Nebula Great Clan are persistent affairs, often dragging on for tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of years.

Because of the colossal scale involved, the supporting Exotic Beast Forces are deeply entrenched and complex, making a swift resolution nearly impossible.

Consider the Demon Star Lord as an example. On the surface, he appears to command only hundreds of billions of quasi-Sky Realm soldiers and three hundred billion Sky Realm troops.

In reality, he is sustained by four battle-worn Demon Emperors, numerous vassal territories, and a multitude of minor forces scattered by years of constant conflict.

The Emperor’s Son of Demons is no different; he is backed by the Demon Research Repository, the Resource Reserve Department, and various garrisoned units, vassal towns, prominent tribes, and the aristocratic elite within the nebula layers.

Despite the existence of a so-called non-accounting agreement, the victor who eventually claims total power will likely suppress or marginalize the loser, perhaps even exiling them to the desolate, frozen borders of the starry sky.

To put it simply, this is a power struggle where neither side has the option to retreat or yield.

As the Demon Star Lord prepares his next move, whispers have started to circulate regarding the unverified transactions between Su Lin and the Emperor’s Son.

While a fierce war of public opinion raged outside,

Su Lin remained in the Star Emperor Hall, using the Serenity Bell to refine his state of mind, even though the artifact's influence on him was negligible.

Having endured the polishing of the Mysterious White Cloud at every tier, Su Lin’s willpower was already as unyielding as iron, forged further by the many life-and-death struggles of his past!

Nevertheless, the bell still provided significant benefits to other exotic beasts.

Even the Twelve-winged Dream Butterfly had made further progress during this time, aided by the high-level resources provided by the Demon System and multiple sessions of Serenity Bell refinement.

Eight to nine thousand years have passed since the system was unified, and the Twelve-winged Dream Butterfly has finally reached the Peak of Nine Heavens.

Still, crossing the threshold into the Ten Heavens remains a distant goal.

The difficulty of breaking through these barriers increases exponentially as one climbs the path of the Sky Realm.

While the Four Heavens represents a major hurdle for typical Heavenly Realm Beasts,

The Seven Heavens of the Heavenly Venerate Realm is a literal Heavenly Chasm, even for those gifted with immense talent!

Figures like the Arctic Tern, Moon Fox, the Grassland Wolf King's Offspring, and Wolf Sister from the Wolf Pack Civilization are currently stalled at this very chasm, with no clear timeline for when they might transcend it.

The Nine Heavens and Ten Heavens are even more daunting.

Countless heroes and geniuses have been halted by these celestial boundaries.

Even among the elite geniuses of the Starry Sky, many spend their entire lives unable to bridge the gap between the Nine Heavens and the Ten Heavens.

Thus, it is perfectly normal that the Twelve-winged Dream Butterfly has not achieved a breakthrough on her own after only a few millennia.

Su Lin decided to grant her the Peak Heavenly Venerate’s Ten Heavens Mark as a reward for her service.

Over these tens of thousands of years, the Twelve-winged Dream Butterfly has proven her worth through exceptional loyalty and performance while following him.

She has evolved into a trusted confidant, second only to the Little Lone Wolf!

Su Lin has always been generous toward subordinates who possess both loyalty and capability.

Beyond the Twelve-winged Dream Butterfly,

The Black Gold Demon Ape had taken tens of thousands of Dream Guards and utilized the Demon System's Giant Time-Space Altar to return and muster the Nightmare Army.

The other Dream Guards and exotic beasts who followed him also experienced substantial growth during this period.

Thanks to the overflowing supply of resources, almost all the Dream Guards advanced, with the majority reaching the Late Stage or Peak of the Venerable rank.

A select few even managed to ascend to the status of Strong Venerable.

Furthermore, Lev spent time visiting and assisting in the Demon System’s research departments, leading to a massive breakthrough in his previously stalled scientific theories and technical understanding.

During these few thousand years, technologies like Star Stone Cannons and Star Energy Beams were fully realized.

They even secured the production blueprints for standard Star Energy Armor, Star Energy Battle Axes, and Giant Blades, among other military equipment.

In the future, these advancements will drastically increase the combat effectiveness of the various Wolf Pack Civilization armies.

On the Starry Sky Battlefield, once you look past individual realms, battle formations, destiny, and fate marks, the most critical factor in combat power is Star Energy Weapons.

Standard Star Energy Armor provides defense equivalent to Sky Realm Heavy Armor.

Similarly, Star Energy War Instruments possess the raw destructive potential of Sky Realm weaponry.

These assets will significantly bolster the military strength of the exotic beasts under Su Lin's command.

The Wolf Pack Civilization was previously able to overcome the Radiant Sun Tribe's army of tens of billions with their own trillions largely because of the gap in Star Energy Weapons and other lethal instruments.

Because of this, Su Lin—unlike the Heavenly Ghost—did not view these few thousand years within the Demon System as a waste.

Both Su Lin and his followers were busy soaking up the vast knowledge, research data, and resources unique to the long-standing Demon System.

“Brother Mo Peng, I have successfully fulfilled your request to secretly purchase thirty Extinction Arrows, along with six Peak High Heaven Realm Longbows. What exactly is your plan for these?”

At that moment, the Emperor’s Son of Demons arrived at the Star Emperor Hall once more to hold a private discussion with Su Lin.

Ever since Su Lin had sparked a system-wide debate on national policy, the fortunes of the previously struggling Emperor’s Son had begun to rise.

At every turn, various exotic beasts—moved by the philosophy of fighting rather than surrendering without a struggle—were switching sides to support the Emperor’s Son of Demons' policy.
