Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 1900 - 1060: Storm of Greed, Soul Stone Speculation! (Part 2)

During Su Lin's era on Earth in the midst of fierce struggles, even with human technology not fully advanced, their nuclear arms, devastating laser weapons, bullets designed to pierce armor, and seventh-generation fighter jets could indeed pose threats to Ancestral Species on a certain level.

Therefore, numerous experiences from the height of Earth's human civilization remain utterly baffling to societies and powers that hold the mighty in high regard.

At present, Su Lin plans to capitalize on the flaws in resource trading of the Heavenly Abyss Civilization and the Plunderer Federation, setting up a grand banquet of riches!

The Erosion Spirit King is simply required to work alongside a handful of secret operatives under the Wolf Lord's guidance to handle several simple missions!

Furthermore, from the perspective of the Erosion Spirit King, these two prominent Star Nebula Great Clans appear to be wavering and contemplating a shift in allegiance to the "Unspeakable" and the Sky-Cunning Beast.

If carrying out these straightforward assignments given by the Wolf Lord could push them to fully abandon their hesitations, they might even eagerly submit as subordinates to the Undead Holy Sect.

In that case, it would represent a tremendous success!

As a result, the Erosion Spirit King ultimately consented to every one of the Wolf Lord's requests, positioning his enormous Undead Army Group, numbering in the trillions, around the borders of both entities, and openly declaring the acquisition of soul stones from the Heavenly Abyss Civilization and the Plunderer Federation.

Soul stones represent the purified essence drawn from soul spirits, making them far more precious than blood stones, star stones, or luck stones.

This stems from the broad range of uses soul stones possess.

For instance, they can foster soul power, boost cultivation of soul bodies, and keep divine sense sharp and clear.

When a soul spirit becomes drained or damaged, healing demands vast quantities of soul stones; moreover, various heavy weapons based on soul spirits, star energy weapons of the soul spirit variety, and similar tools all consume substantial amounts of soul stones.

Consequently, the value of soul stones has consistently been tenfold that of blood stones, star stones, and luck stones.

Occasionally, the price climbs even steeper.

For a massive soul-based entity like the Undead Army Group, which devours enormous volumes of soul stones, the announcement of plans to buy them has failed to spark any notable interest from the official or unofficial circles within the two groups.

After all, such matters are quite routine.

However, hidden from all eyes, beneath this facade of everyday business, a scheme as vast and turbulent as a cosmic tidal wave is gradually taking shape and coming into play!

.....

Right now, inside a fortress where the Heavenly Abyss Civilization meets the Undead Army Group, Su Lin and his companions had already masked their auras long ago, altered their appearances to mix seamlessly with crowds of diverse species.

"Wolf Lord, the Undead Army Group's open call to buy soul stones has indeed prompted many Exotic Beast Tribes to offer theirs, leading to a modest rise in the market cost."

The Twelve-winged Dream Butterfly, having surveyed the latest developments, came back to update the Wolf Lord.

Even she, who never strays far from the Wolf Lord's side as a devoted follower and War Emperor, could scarcely believe how the Wolf Lord had the confidence to vow that in just ten thousand years, these two Star Nebula Great Clans would lose all ability to alter alliances or wage massive conflicts.

One must remember, these are two authentic Star Nebula Great Clans!

Though they might currently lag behind the Wolf Pack Civilization in ranking, their status as Star Nebula Great Clans is solid and unquestionable!

Thus, as the Twelve-winged Dream Butterfly accompanied the Wolf Lord in an encounter with that Marquis of the Undead Holy Sect,

She was filled with admiration for the Wolf Lord's skill in securing a spy of such elevated rank!

And equally amazed by the boldness of the Wolf Lord's pledge!

"Indeed, that's promising. Now, direct the Dream Guards to spread out and quietly begin acquiring soul stones—purchase every available one until the market is stripped bare; I intend for every Exotic Beast and organization across these two Star Nebula Great Clans to realize that soul stones are about to emerge as the hottest commodity and hardest currency in this sector!"

Su Lin picked up on the Twelve-winged Dream Butterfly's surprise, yet he offered no clarification.

Since these strategies draw from minor maneuvers that circulated on Earth.

Merely, such maneuvers prey on human avarice and built-in weaknesses, while taking advantage of gaps in the market.

And at this moment, those very qualities exist within these two Star Nebula Great Clans too.

Particularly because the Western Star Core has endured prolonged warfare, leading all factions to overlook the framework for resource exchanges.

With this neglect in place, it provides Su Lin with real opportunities for influence!

Ten thousand years?

Su Lin believes even that span feels excessively drawn out!

For when the whirlwind of cupidity and economic chaos fully erupts, it typically takes only a brief time to dismantle all structures,

sparking a moral decay among people and eroding their principles!

Particularly in this time when resources outvalue existence itself!

In Earth's past human age, despite robust oversight, such economic upheavals and waves of greed could still shake the foundations of society,

Thus, in this unchecked domain where no grand clan would waste resources on acquiring for mid- and low-level Exotic Beasts or frontline troops,

Su Lin anticipates witnessing just how profound the psychological unraveling among diverse Exotic Beasts will become when it strikes.

Ultimately, in this shadowy cosmos of the Dark Starry Sky, these Exotic Beasts aren't meek or compliant subjects.

They all grasp a single truth: "survive for yourself, disregard the rest!"

When survival hangs by a thread, a savage and gruesome spectacle of creatures devouring one another is inevitable.

.....

Positioned in front of Meng Hu, Su Lin observed the tiger's face, which resembled that of a soulless husk, met with icy detachment and no flicker of emotion.

A powerful sense of peril swiftly engulfed the Invincible Fierce Tiger entirely, forcing a sharp intake of breath; he felt like a helpless fish laid out for slaughter, this sensation almost crushed Meng Hu's resolve. The Invincible Fierce Tiger couldn't fathom why the White Wolf chose not to end him outright but instead bothered hauling him from the icy depths back to the Land of Adventure. This dread of uncertainty flooded Meng Hu's mind, and in his vulnerable state, he possessed no means to fight back—even in his turmoil, within the Land of Adventure, the domain of the White Wolf, resistance was pointless.

Su Lin examined the Meng Hu in his presence, akin to a supreme overlord inspecting a captured servant, his eyes reflecting utter apathy.

"Aoo—" Su Lin let out a gentle howl to the nearby Wolf Clan, signaling them to remove this fading Siberia Tiger and watch over him carefully.

The adjacent Wolf Clan quickly comprehended, with a few stepping forward to haul Meng Hu off; his injuries scraped along the floor, and the rotting wounds bled anew, leaving elongated crimson streaks from Su Lin's position trailing clear out of the cavern, appearing without end.

Su Lin regarded this path of blood, his expression remaining serene like the depths of an timeless pond.

Concerning the leftover Variant Species Flesh, Su Lin proceeded to distribute it according to contributions, an event the entire Wolf Clan awaited with keen interest, as sustenance held greater value than anything else for them.

A handful of Wolf Clan members fixed hungry stares on the distant Variant Species Flesh, their eyes shining with fierce hunger, as if Su Lin's command alone would ignite their primal urges, propelling them toward the prize.

Su Lin's attention shifted to the pair of massive forms at his side; Xiao Hui caught the Wolf King's commanding look and immediately stood taller, while Little Lone Wolf maintained a humble and deferential stance, which earned Su Lin's approval.

As the Lead Wolf, Little Lone Wolf commands vast authority yet approaches Su Lin with deep respect.

And Xiao Hui, true to form, displays a spirited demeanor; despite his advanced mind from evolution, he behaves like a playful eight-year-old, unburdened and envisioning adventures alongside Su Lin to extend the Wolf Clan's renown throughout the Arctic.

To the two steadfast White Wolves who demonstrated loyalty and key roles in the latest clash, Su Lin bestowed a lavish portion of three hundred pounds of flesh; the surprise windfall thrilled Xiao Hui, prompting an exuberant howl of delight, and while Little Lone Wolf stayed outwardly calm, his enthusiastic call betrayed the shared elation of both White Wolves to Su Lin.

The rest of the Wolf Clan, provided they joined the fight and performed notable deeds, received generous allotments as well.
