Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 1778: 998: Resource Delivery, Bountiful Harvest!

Even at this moment, the son of the Demon Emperor remains in debt to Su Lin for three freely selectable treasures.
“Brother Mo Peng, is there anything particular you desire? Otherwise, I’ll make up for those three optional treasures of yours with three trillion star stones.”
The son of the Demon Emperor appeared utterly earnest in his offer.
Su Lin pondered briefly before agreeing to the arrangement.
Truth be told, in the Ten Thousand Demon System today, nothing essential catches his eye anymore.
All the species, exotic flora, and similar elements inside the system have been depleted across the last several millennia.
Regarding items he might crave, like the Extreme Heaven Realm Emperor’s Robe or the Peak of Ten Heavens Blood Shadow Vine, the son of the Demon Emperor—or the Demon Emperor himself—would surely come up with excuses to refuse.
Hence, grabbing some tangible star stones and departing seemed the wiser choice.
“Very well, take these three trillion star stones! Plus, Brother Mo Peng, here’s the authority token from our Ten Thousand Demons Ancestor. Once you infuse it with your blood, it’ll link you to the Destiny Stone.”
Having handed over resources so plentiful that even the Heavenly Ghost felt jealous, the son of the Demon Emperor grew solemn and proclaimed gravely, “Furthermore, Brother Mo Peng, that vow I gave you earlier still holds true. I, the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons, now pledge upon my vital blood and the prosperity of Ten Thousand Demons: whenever you require aid in the days ahead, both I and the Ten Thousand Demon System will lend our full support on three occasions. If I violate this pledge, let my form crumble and my way dissolve!”
Bang!
The son of the Demon Emperor sliced his skin, extracting vital blood while calling upon the fortune of the Ten Thousand Demon System to seal the pledge!
A commitment from such a mighty entity, of course, triggered a deep resonance within the Starry Sky Will.
Finally, the son of the Demon Emperor presented Su Lin with the Wood Origin Jade Pendant that once preserved his own life: “Brother Mo Peng, I’ve kept this jade pendant close all along. Down the line, should you be unable to appear in person, let other beings bear this pendant to act on your behalf. Bearing it, I’ll rally the whole Ten Thousand Demon System to stand by you through any peril!”
“Excellent! I get it. As we head out, we also extend wishes for your eternal vitality and success in elevating the Ten Thousand Demon System to restore the might of a powerful Star Nebula Great Clan someday!”
Upon accepting the jade pendant, Su Lin projected a message of blessing through his spiritual intent.
This intent conveyed hopes for the Ten Thousand Demon System to reclaim its status as a formidable Star Nebula Great Clan,
For it happened that just over a decade prior, the “Unspeakable” rankings of Star Nebula Great Clans had been refreshed!
Those rankings revealed the Ten Thousand Demon System’s drop to an everyday Star Nebula Great Clan status, following the demise of the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons, the annihilation of a billion-strong Heavenly Boundary force, the forfeiture of the Star Core Business, and clashes between the Star Lord and the Emperor’s son.
Yet, it clung to a leading spot among the regular Star Nebula Great Clans.
Therefore, Su Lin’s spiritual intent acted as a boost of motivation for the son of the Demon Emperor!
The Emperor’s son truly embraced this sentiment,
Following a couple more shared looks, Su Lin and his Heavenly Ghost companions activated the Space-Time Altar and vanished entirely.
Gazing toward their exit path, the son of the Demon Emperor’s gaze held real traces of unwillingness,
Yet beyond the unwillingness lay a profound sense of burden and gravity.
The son of the Demon Emperor fully grasped the immense and matchless power of the Heavenly Destiny Clan, where just two near-taboo beings and a handful of aides could shake the Ten Thousand Demon System to its core,
and propel him straight to the throne while compelling the once-dominant Demon Star Lord to escape into the cosmos, his fate uncertain.
As such, though he had plotted to withhold the final payment from the Heavenly Destiny Clan, he ended up clenching his jaw and yielding.
“Sigh, half the supplies meant for the coming three eras must now cover this obligation. When will I avenge the Star Core Business and my father’s death?”
The son of the Demon Emperor lingered there awhile before shaking his head with a deep sigh.
However, the son of the Demon Emperor remained unaware,
That what he truly owed wasn’t to the Heavenly Destiny Clan at all, nor were the Heavenly Ghost and Mo Peng affiliates of the Heavenly Destiny Clan’s near-taboo ranks,
but rather to a much more enigmatic and profound Cold-blooded Business Group.
…..
Now, having exited the Ten Thousand Demon System, Su Lin and the Heavenly Ghost atop the Space-Time Altar picked up their chat with Mo Peng: “Mo Peng, I’m thinking of heading to the Star Core Trading City. Care to come along? Prices there are way lower, and aside from the Heizi Tribe, all the Star Nebula Great Clans back it, so it’s extremely secure.”
In the boundless starry expanse, Su Lin counted as a fresh arrival.
He’d only tapped into the “Unspeakable” auction so far for acquiring huge quantities of resources, thus requiring a reliable alternative source for buys.
Moreover, his Origin Space had refilled once more, allowing him to snag another load of elite star energy arms.
One must realize his trip to the Ten Thousand Demon System went beyond just the over eighty trillion star stones granted by the son of the Demon Emperor.
It tallied up to tens of trillions in total!
For beyond the system’s borders, the Demon Star Lord had concealed a minor star stone deposit.
In the hundred years Su Lin had been absent, while forging soul bones and undermining the Star Lord, he’d also swung by that star stone deposit and tucked away all six trillion star stones it yielded into his Origin Space.
The billions of Heavenly Boundary Third Level and quasi-sovereign powerhouses garrisoned there got relocated back to the Sky Wolf System too, under the command of the fully subverted Demon Star Lord through the Space-Time Altar.
This Demon Star Lord along with his billions of Heavenly Boundary Third Level, quasi-sovereign powerhouses would form yet another lethally keen force for Su Lin operating from the dark!
Su Lin skipped renaming them altogether, dubbing them the Demon Breaking Formation Army outright!
…..
In the meantime, Su Lin guided his formidable wolf horde racing back to their old domain at top velocity. A frosty aura crept stealthily over the whole icy plain along their route. The pack’s rapid advance stirred up biting gusts, and lurking hunters detected the overwhelming might of the wolves, issuing subdued snarls of caution.
Deep in the perilous Arctic wilds, bonds boil down to hunter and hunted alone. The White Wolf’s imposing aura invading other beasts’ realms left many bristling with hackles raised, eyes glowing with feral green light, silently tracking the White Wolf horde’s impending actions.
Once the massive silhouettes of the White Wolves faded from sight, the hunters could at last breathe easy.
Su Lin sped back with the pack to their prior grounds, drawing comfort from the well-known landscape. The cousin Red-tailed Fox Wolves in the den picked up the recognizable aroma, tails wagging in delight as they rushed out, soon spying the ice-dusted wolves.
Once the massive silhouettes of the White Wolves faded from sight, the hunters could at last breathe easy.
Su Lin viewed with approval the pack’s unified and rapid maneuvers right before him. This was the group that pleased him most, destined to be his strongest ally in spearheading assaults and fights ahead. Only as the pack grew ever more exceptional could he clash with foes free of any worries,
For wolves thrive as communal hunters by nature, and he had no plans to roam as a solitary wanderer.
Soon after, Su Lin threw back his head and unleashed a mighty howl northward into the distance, calling the wolves to emerge from the ice and regroup for the journey to the Land of Adventure, keeping their food stores protected and evading any roadside threats.
The wolves caught the command, answering with resounding howls of their own, then burst forth in all directions at blistering pace, as if eager to flaunt their remarkable swiftness and vigor to the Wolf King.
Observing the pack’s vibrant energy, Su Lin’s determination hardened to guide them in ruling the Arctic. Amid the Ice Age where all things advanced, raw power stood as the only rule for enduring. Without it, one risked becoming fodder for the mighty—a destiny Su Lin refused to accept!
Su Lin watched as the Little Lone Wolf, flanked by two Beta Wolves, hauled the leftover meat from the Invincible Fierce Tiger. Their gait lacked agility or bounce, plainly a challenge set by the Little Lone Wolf to show that as team Betas, they must possess the resolve and bravery to hold their ground independently. Still, Su Lin held his tongue.
