Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 1767: 992: Swapping Base Camps for Propaganda!

While an intense war of public opinion raged in the outside world, several centuries slipped away in the blink of an eye.

Su Lin, along with Tian Gui’s entourage, had already resided within the Ten Thousand Demon System for a total of five thousand years.

For a seasoned veteran like Tian Gui, such a duration was nothing more than a fleeting moment. Aside from gathering exhaustive intelligence on the various factions and powers within the Ten Thousand Demon System, Tian Gui dedicated the majority of his time to cultivation.

However, five thousand years was a significant span for Su Lin.

Only about fifteen or sixteen thousand years had passed since the emergence of both himself and the Wolf Pack Civilization.

Throughout these five millennia, his One Lifetime connection ensured he harbored no major anxieties regarding the Celestial Wolf System.

Nevertheless, his personal cultivation during this era only yielded enough Evolution Essence to rise by a single Level.

Achieving even this required him to drain a massive amount of Genetic Flesh from nearly half of the tribes within the Ten Thousand Demon System.

The sole satisfaction for Su Lin was that the Genetic Barrier had finally become slightly more perceptible.

The Genetic Barrier!

If one were to describe the bottlenecks on the path of Genetic Metamorphosis, it would be this barrier.

Every attempt to impact it was incredibly daunting.

At present, despite devouring genetic fragments from two different species systems, this fifth Genetic Barrier was only just starting to clarify.

This served as a testament to the extreme difficulty of shattering the fifth barrier.

Furthermore,

Su Lin successfully pushed his Body Transformation Talent to the Heavenly Boundary, and the Dragon Peng Destruction Slash reached the Heavenly Boundary as well.

Attaining the Heavenly Boundary signifies true entry into the halls of mastery.

The ferocity of the Dragon Peng Destruction Slash had become truly terrifying; although its single-target lethality could not yet rival the Bewildering Step, it possessed the raw power of other High Heaven Realm secret techniques.

Beyond Su Lin’s individual progress, the Ten Thousand Demon System reached a fever pitch of public discourse during this window of time.

As the five-thousand-year mark arrived, the voting phase officially commenced, with the final data set to be locked in after ten thousand planetary years had passed.

Consequently, the war of public opinion within the system intensified to a dramatic degree.

Both the Emperor’s Son of Ten Thousand Demons and the Demon Star Lord personally spearheaded numerous propaganda campaigns. It was agreed that in a few months, the Demon Star Lord would hold promotions within the nebula layer, while the Emperor’s Son would campaign in the major vassal towns situated outside the nebula.

This move was designed to directly challenge each other's core strongholds.

Every promotional gathering attracted countless species, creating a situation fraught with immense peril.

Yet, with the public opinion war reaching such heights, neither side was willing to retreat even an inch.

Compounding the tension was the fact that only twenty percent of the ancestor-level exotic beasts had cast their votes, and the tallies were nearly identical, making it vital to penetrate the opponent's core territory for influence.

During this interval, the Emperor’s Son of Ten Thousand Demons did not seek a confrontation with Su Lin.

The reason was that all the strategic planning was essentially finalized!

Now, the competition had shifted to who possessed more hidden contingencies and more powerful trump cards.

Regarding the national policies of the two rivals, while those of the Emperor’s Son seemed more logical, many exotic beasts were truly exhausted, desperate for a long-awaited era of peace and the opportunity to recover.

This led to a deadlock where, even after the storm of debate, support for him and the Demon Star Lord remained split fifty-fifty.

Even now, both factions worked tirelessly to promote in their own heartlands, fearing their foundations might be shaken in the coming months.

At this moment, Su Lin emerged from the Star Emperor Hall.

This signaled that the Nightmare Army was now fully mobilized, as the Black Gold Demon Ape had returned to his side.

Even the Twelve-winged Dream Butterfly had disappeared without leaving a trace.

Over these past few centuries, the Twelve-winged Dream Butterfly had acquired ten Heavenly Boundary Marks, causing her cultivation to skyrocket. She had already formed the prototype of the tenth Heavenly Boundary Mark and entered the realm of the Ten Heavens.

It could be argued that within the entire Wolf Pack Civilization, second only to Su Lin, the Twelve-winged Dream Butterfly had experienced the swiftest ascent in power.

Taking only a little over ten thousand years to jump from the Nine Heavens to the Ten Heavens was a feat.

To many elite Star Sky Geniuses, such progress was nothing short of a myth and a miracle.

Additionally, influenced by the wisp of the Peng Emperor's true blood within the Blood Ring, her physical form and battle prowess were formidable enough to compete with many dominant physiques in her same realm.

Su Lin even believed that the former Young Master of the Sky-Cunning Beast would not dare claim superiority over the Twelve-winged Dream Butterfly at the same level of cultivation.

This time, he intended to entrust the Twelve-winged Dream Butterfly with a critical mission, one destined to be the most spectacular act in the power struggle of the Ten Thousand Demon System!

As he stepped outside the system, Tian Gui arrived to meet him, leading thirty thousand Black Robe Undead.

“Mo Peng, what are your instructions for me?”

Having observed Mo Peng’s entire strategic layout from a close distance, Tian Gui understood that although five thousand years remained in this struggle for power,

the individual standing before him clearly intended to settle the matter during the Emperor’s Son’s upcoming patrol outside the nebula layer.

This realization filled him with genuine admiration for this new "Unspeakable" investor, as well as a faint, hidden sense of dread.

Tian Gui remained unsure of which side they truly served or what their ultimate role was.

However, he realized that an entity capable of commanding the Black Sun Clan—possessing such unrivaled strategy, planning, and combat ability—would certainly not find their future path limited to this single point.
