Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 1865: 1042: Sun Empress, Red Sun State Preceptor!_2

The Sun Empress compelled herself to transmit this signal!
Indeed, without grasping the connections among the Wolf Pack Civilization, the Heavenly Destiny Clan, and the enigmatic “Unspeakable” transcendent powers, it's crucial to avoid hasty actions.
Once she projected this spiritual intent, her figure shimmered and disappeared, retreating back to the Dark Fortress where loyal attendants shielded her as she began recovery.
…
Red Sun Empire!
During the clash near the Wangshu Zone's border, the Red Sun Empire seemed uninvolved on the surface, yet Anai ultimately delivered the Emperor's friendly gesture and presents.
In return, the Wolf Lord offered the Sin Extinction Array obtained from the Sea of Star Sand, plus details about certain roaming bandit groups lurking in the Red Sun Empire's domain.
Those rogue bandits are surely doomed to face the relentless chase from the Red Sun Empire's troops!
Furthermore, the Wolf Pack Civilization aims to set up a neutral buffer area and commerce hub within the three light-years of starry space bordering the Red Sun Empire.
Going forward, this spot will allow the Red Sun Empire, the Wolf Pack Civilization, and every faction in the Wangshu Zone to conduct exchanges with one another.
As a result, even a desolate region like the Wangshu Edge Zone is poised to develop its very own trading network.
Plus, with backing from both the Red Sun Empire and the Wolf Pack Civilization, this commerce hub will boast immense trust and influence!
“Excellent! The Wolf Pack Civilization has demonstrated its might. Therefore, State Preceptor, should we demonstrate our own commitment now?”
From his throne in the Red Sun Heaven Hall, the Red Sun Emperor fixed a profound stare on the figure to his immediate left.
This being was a bizarre plant form, covered in countless twisting vines.
Yet dangling from those vines weren't foliage or limbs, but heads from various races.
It was none other than the Myriad Tribes Vine!
The Red Sun Empire's State Preceptor and strategic advisor, serving as the Emperor's vital supporter!
“Your Majesty, in that case, after tens of thousands or perhaps hundreds of thousands of years, I will venture forth myself to the Wolf Pack Civilization and delve into the deepest confidential topics!”
The Myriad Tribes Vine advanced with deference and proclaimed boldly.
“Why delay for so long?”
“Simply because, by then, the Wolf Pack Civilization ought to have absorbed the Celestial Wolf System Fortune entirely, claimed the full inheritance and lands of the Sea of Star Sand, and above all, within tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years, the Black Sun Constant Star's potential rise to a dominant star will likely be determined,
Should it rise to dominance, this Sin Star is fated to turn its aggression toward the Wolf Pack Civilization's domains, so I merely wish to observe how the Wolf Pack Civilization tackles this clash and safeguards its flanks from future threats!”
The Myriad Tribes Vine laid bare its reasoning without reservation.
For the attendees in this assembly were the Red Sun Emperor's most trusted allies!
True to its role as the Red Sun Empire's insightful State Preceptor and strategist, the Myriad Tribes Vine zeroed in on the Wolf Pack Civilization's looming peril across the coming tens of thousands of years!
Black Sun Constant Star!
Setting aside how the Black Sun Constant Star recently raised the Star Sky Battle Flag to aid the Wolf Pack Civilization at the last moment, even they hadn't foreseen the national war against the Star Nebula Great Clan ending in such swift fashion.
Consequently, the Black Sun Constant Star now grappled with inner turmoil.
Though its territory appeared expansive enough to control over a hundred light-years,
That domain lay at the outermost fringes, with scarcely any celestial bodies to claim, rendering its size pointless no matter how grand.
Hence, upon achieving dominant star status, the Wolf Pack Civilization—now holding the Sea of Star Sand's territories—would cease to be an ally.
Rather, it would emerge as a formidable barrier in their path!
Managing this rivalry will pose the Wolf Pack Civilization's supreme test in that era.
A mishandled approach could leave the Wolf Pack Civilization too weakened in the near future to join the Red Sun Empire's grand campaign of conquest!
“Well done! You've considered everything, State Preceptor. The Black Sun Constant Star, born from utterly desolate backwaters—I've witnessed its strength—is a faction desperate enough to fight to the death over scraps of resources, and with the Sin Star's turmoil thrown in, it's a real headache. Pass on my decree: send additional spies to monitor the Black Sun Constant Star's progress toward ascension!”
“By your will!”
With the Red Sun Emperor's resolute spiritual command issued, the hall buzzed once again with talks on key imperial concerns!
The Red Sun Emperor, meanwhile, shut his eyes, stepping back from these routine governance issues!
After all, any genuine overlord learns to entrust tasks; no single being can micromanage every aspect of a Star Nebula Great Clan's operations.
They must only guide the empire's overarching path and strategic vision!
At present, the Red Sun Empire's strategic vision might involve pushing north to crush the Bright Day System, heading east to subdue the Void Abyss Mayfly Clan, thrusting west against the Hundred Stars Alliance, or even marching south to consolidate the genuine Wangshu Edge Zone.
Yet the Red Sun Emperor understood that none rivaled the value of a northern advance!
For the Wangshu Zone's resources paled against the bountiful northern Star Core pathway!
Crucially, since its founding, the Red Sun Empire had concealed its fangs and claws for over half an Era, and he refused to unveil true might against lesser foes!
Lie dormant until the moment strikes, then erupt in thunderous force!
Only by launching a sudden, devastating assault on the Bright Day System would the Wangshu Zone's powers kneel without a word from the Red Sun Empire!
…
All the wolves who joined the fray, including those White Wolves with standout achievements—no matter if they were Beta Wolf Hài-Wolf—earned fitting prizes. Suddenly, the cave's vibe turned festive, like a human New Year's bash, with every honored White Wolf bursting with vigor, bounding and frolicking uncontrollably.
Once the wolves got their shares, Su Lin shifted focus to the Bear Clan that had marched with him into combat, where the top White Bears now strained eagerly, having eyed the massive chunks of meat—hundreds of pounds—Su Lin doled out to the wolves, all hungering for their portions.
The endless daylight blanketing the Land of Adventure made foraging a tough ordeal, especially since the Ice Age's start unleashed hordes of Variant Species, turning the Arctic's brutal wilds even deadlier; one slip could mean falling to a beast's savage bite over just a few dozen pounds of meat.
That's why so many from the Bear Clan stuck with the White Wolves, drawn by the steady flow of meat and top-tier Variant Species cuts.
Su Lin wouldn't overlook these Bear Clan comrades who battled by his side, so he let out a mighty howl, handing out hefty portions of flesh to them all.
The Bear Clan huddled close, and from their daily life rubbing shoulders with the White Wolf Pack, they could somewhat grasp the howls' intent, so they responded with joyful “ho ho ho” rumbles echoing through the cave, this epic haul binding their loyalty to the White Wolves tighter than ever.
Su Lin realized this fight had solidified his followers' devotion, so he lavished generosity on his battle mates, drawing even more creatures into a deeper sense of unity. Day by day, Su Lin's tribe would swell in power and ferocity, rising to claim the invincible throne as the Arctic's supreme ruler over the frozen wastes!
With rewards doled out to wolves and bears alike, Sander and Tiffany at last drew Su Lin's gaze once more. Su Lin had foreseen these two humans aligning with the Wolf Clan for their endurance.
Su Lin planned to groom these humans as his proxies, thus bestowing upon them lavish prizes, passing over two hundred pounds of flesh to Sander and Tiffany—plenty to keep them going for some time.
This abundance caught Sander and Tiffany off guard, but gratitude swelled in their hearts for the White Wolves; they never imagined reaping such a bounty of sustenance from their role in the skirmish.
