Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 1869 - 1044: Qing Ming Returns Again! (Part 2)
Previously on Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf...
Once it has been completely repaired, the Blazing Flame Sword will surely reclaim the magnificent glory it displayed in the past, accompanying its owner amid fierce clashes against countless Peak masters!
Among the additions are two partially shaped Transformation Level Spirituality Essence Rivers, six Mystic Bones from the Star Sand Master, more than ten essence components, and an entire skeleton,
along with the still-living Misfortune Line Snake and the Seven-headed Ghost-faced Bat King, which has been slated for reconstruction and training.
Other spoils, like the Heavenly Boundary Mark from Sin’s form, have already been placed in the Emperor Pavilion for future rewards.
Right now, having silently reviewed the items in the Origin Space, Su Lin intended to head to the Star Core Trading City and offload part of the Transformation Level Spirituality Essence River!
In the end, no superior option exists beyond this approach.
Yet, the instant this idea crossed Su Lin’s mind, his extraordinarily potent Divine Sense detected a well-known and intense presence hurtling toward the Sky Wolf System quicker than light itself.
Simultaneously, the "Unspeakable" investment mark upon him began flashing once more!
"Qing Ming! Could she be arriving for yet another one of those so-called bargains with me?"
As he felt this presence, a trace of profound detachment surfaced in Su Lin’s gaze.
Indeed, the deeper his understanding of this cosmic realm grew, the less fondness he held for "Unspeakable"!
It stands as a genuinely ruthless commercial faction!
They even select their so-called investors during moments of vulnerability or crisis.
Once those investors surmount their upcoming trials, the group exacts repayment multiplied by hundreds or thousands.
This leaves nearly every investor incapable of settling the debt to "Unspeakable," binding them eternally to serve "Unspeakable"!
Still, as an investor tied to "Unspeakable" in the end, and upon detecting Qing Ming’s nearing approach along with the mark’s signal,
Su Lin paused briefly before his form blurred and he materialized high above the Sky Wolf System!
"Wolf Lord! Ever since our previous farewell, I’ve longed for you immensely. I’ve caught wind of your splendid feats in recent times, so I’ve arrived to celebrate the Wolf Pack Civilization’s conquest of a territory spanning thirty to forty light-years, establishing it as the fresh supreme ruler of the Wangshu Zone!"
Qing Ming, true to form, radiated a poised grace,
a demeanor echoing that of the Illusion God, both detached from mortal concerns and at odds with this savage, shadowy cosmos brimming with ferocity!
"Thanks, but I’m curious about the reason for Qing Ming’s visit to me?"
With a mere notion, Su Lin examined Qing Ming’s Numerical Attributes anew, observing her swift progress in velocity, now at the Mid-Ten Heavens level.
Since the elite "Unspeakable" auction back then, scarcely twenty thousand years have passed in an instant.
Qing Ming advanced from the Nine Heavens to the Ten Heavens; while this pace doesn’t rival Su Lin’s own, it remains astonishingly quick.
Particularly since the route she pursued proves far more challenging.
"Wolf Lord! My purpose here is to deliver the Squad Leader’s Heavenly Order. Your performance in the recent conflict was outstanding, elevating you from the eighth to the sixth investor in ’Unspeakable,’ which unlocks greater privileges inside. Every century, you can barter resources, data, intel, and more with us, while we offer safeguards for your data and intel. Your details get secured in the ’Unspeakable’ archives, and should any faction attempt to access them, ’Unspeakable’ will block it on your behalf. Naturally, learning the identity of the probing faction could require a fitting fee!"
Qing Ming extended a fresh investment mark, signaling an offer to the Wolf Lord.
Yet the Wolf Lord stayed motionless,
prompting Qing Ming to send further Spiritual Will: "Does the Wolf Lord harbor lingering concerns? Rest easy—after repaying our aid, you’re free to depart ’Unspeakable’ whenever, provided you don’t disclose our confidences abroad; no one will pursue you. Though the Squad Leader has relayed the Heavenly Order inviting you to the central hub for discussion, the final decision rests with you, and we won’t meddle!"
Qing Ming consistently upheld her calm and steadfast poise, mirroring the stance all ’Unspeakable’ envoys adopt externally.
She held firm even under reprimands.
For envoys embody ’Unspeakable’s’ public image!
Should the matter be fully outlined and the Wolf Lord opt to depart, it appears the Squad Leader would accommodate it.
"Unspeakable" avoids vying for control and shuns compulsion!
The vast array of resources, riches, intel, and such under their command suffices to force submission from the starry sky’s Myriad Tribes!
Thus, what need is there for coercion?
As quiet tension hung between them for a few minutes, Su Lin finally sent a casual Spiritual Will: "Alright! I agree!"
After all, the moment to fully break from "Unspeakable" hasn’t arrived yet.
Following the swap of investment marks, Su Lin conveyed Spiritual Will: "In that case, as the sixth investor, am I allowed to deal with ’Unspeakable’ at rates matching the Star Core Trading City?"
Qing Ming offered no denial: "Of course, barring essentials for your crises, our dealings stay equitable and advantageous for both sides! What item do you aim to trade?"
"Hahaha!"
The word "fair" in the Spiritual Will drew an involuntary mental chuckle from Su Lin!
For it’s downright hilarious hearing a merciless commercial entity speak of equity!
Regardless, "Unspeakable" remains without doubt a formidable, treasure-laden powerhouse and purchaser!
With things as they are, trading with one buyer equals trading with another!
He seeks to leverage this deal to gauge the rise in his worth as perceived by "Unspeakable"?
If the valuation proves genuinely balanced, it shows he’s escaped being a novice ripe for harsh gouging and has genuinely joined "Unspeakable"’s web of interests.
At minimum, going forward, he’ll serve as a prized asset within this colossal ruthless enterprise!
....
Along the path, Su Lin guided the white wolf pack in a thunderous charge, nearly shattering the icy surface, while nearby flora trembled unstably. A formidable presence trailed the White Wolf Pack, surging toward the Land of Adventure.
Denser vegetation arose, and concealed hunters lifted their gazes cautiously, locking onto the white wolves’ outlines. Within their senses, a domineering force bred terror in their cores; absent their innate savagery, such crushing might might have already forced them under the White Wolf Claw’s grip.
Certain advanced Variant Species Beasts caught the vast energy waves and peered out at the baying white wolf pack. Trailing the formation, a few white wolves bore a colossal, enigmatic corpse—the fallen Mad Thunder Skyhawk itself.
The vast might lingering in the slain Mad Thunder Skyhawk hadn’t fully ebbed, making it a grueling haul even as several white wolves clenched jaws to endure. As for the variants watching from afar along the route, shock filled their stares.
What mighty creature could topple a colossal entity like the Mad Thunder Skyhawk and boldly haul its remains toward the Land of Adventure?
Beneath the hunters’ awestruck eyes, that white wolf displayed unyielding vigor, darting at velocities beyond visual grasp, merely a fleeting white blur vanishing like a specter, leaving no sign. When they blinked anew, the white wolf perched on a far-off ridge, baying skyward, leading the white wolf pack deeper into the Arctic...
This spectacle etched deeply into countless hunters’ minds, destined to linger eternally, that indelible silver-white wolf form, impervious to oblivion.
For among every creature they’d witnessed, that white wolf bore the most intense presence ever felt, a terrifying might that urged evasion, with eyes that dominated their souls!
Does this embody true power?
From that point, numerous hunters hunted their prey with greater ferocity, driven to grow stronger, aspiring one day to trail that silver-white wolf form—though deep down they realized it was an unattainable pinnacle in their lives, still, for them, power became the ultimate pursuit!
