Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 1906 - 1063: Bloody Harvest! (Part 2)

This represents the optimal outcome attainable under current circumstances.

Precisely due to the Heavenly Abyss Civilization's approach, the condition of its civilian factions surpasses that in the Predator Federation by a wide margin!

Nevertheless, despite this strategy, the mood inside these two Star Nebula Great Clans slowly grew strained.

Amid this mounting pressure, moments silently drifted away.

....

In an instant, a further millennium had elapsed.

Across a complete thousand years, the missing Luck Stones showed no signs of return,

Instead, their value kept climbing, surging to fiftyfold the initial amount.

Even the prohibition on internal trades in the Heavenly Abyss Civilization faced repeated violations.

Numerous domestic groups gambled boldly to stockpile them,

prompting the Heavenly Abyss Civilization to put several to death as deterrents.

Yet these measures proved utterly futile, since unrest had already gripped the populace.

With vital assets like Luck Stones under such control, scarcely anyone could hold out endlessly.

As the Heavenly Abyss Civilization failed to address the crisis, individuals turned to their own methods for solutions.

Consequently, countless natives of the Heavenly Abyss Civilization departed their homes in sorrow, venturing to other clans.

These paths pointed straight to territories overseen by the Erosion Spirit King and the ongoing advance of the Dark Erosion Holy Hall!

Right now, with a snap of his digits, Su Lin realized two millennia had passed since his arrival.

To be honest, he never anticipated that these two Star Nebula Great Clans would endure such ethical decay for so long without erupting into massive upheavals.

Evidently, Su Lin had misjudged the resilience of these two Star Nebula Great Clans.

The Predator Federation exploited the turmoil inside to harvest a surge of unjust gains, thereby bolstering their armed forces,

while ignoring losses among civilians, pulling all troops back to central bases and frontiers,

rendering domestic disorder inconsequential to their martial strength.

On the other hand, the Heavenly Abyss Civilization's efforts to protect its people severely hampered its own military capabilities.

Currently, sustaining the costs for his quadrillion-strong army grew ever more burdensome.

Lacking resource inflows, depending only on loyalty and reputation might keep certain Exotic Beasts in service temporarily.

However, expecting every Exotic Beast to remain loyal indefinitely was impossible!

This pattern signaled an impending breakdown of forces within the Heavenly Abyss Civilization.

"Wolf Lord! The Lord of the Heavenly Abyss Civilization and the Predator God have publicly announced contracts with surrounding Star Nebula Great Clans, promising to transport a large batch of Luck Stones within a century!"

At that juncture, the Twelve-winged Dream Butterfly approached once more to update the Wolf Lord.

In truth, during these two thousand years, she had genuinely observed the dread of a separate conflict zone.

Before actual combat ignited, these two Star Nebula Great Clans teetered on the brink of dysfunction.

Still, the events unfolding with the Heavenly Abyss Civilization and the Predator Federation sufficed to send shivers through hidden observers, including clans with robust commerce networks among the Star Nebula Great Clans.

For each Star Nebula Great Clan had weathered periods of escalating prices, though none as extreme as this.

Thus, fellow Star Nebula Great Clans implemented stricter protocols against inflation anew.

For mighty Star Nebula Great Clans boasting abundant stockpiles, or even elite ones, they simply remained watchful for such schemes.

Their ample reserves allowed them to steady turbulent economies.

"Don’t worry, they won’t be able to transport them, and have the Dark Erosion Holy Hall and the Undead Holy Sect continued their payments?"

Su Lin dismissed it with a shake of his head, paying no heed to those alleged pacts.

This round, his plan fundamentally aimed to protect "Unspeakable" against the two Star Nebula Great Clans.

As a result, "Unspeakable" had relayed confidential data earlier, vowing to eliminate every delivery of Luck Stones bound for the Heavenly Abyss Civilization and the Predator Federation.

Furthermore, the ethical erosion inflicted on these two Star Nebula Great Clans went beyond mere gains from price gaps; it sought to dismantle their populations and armies entirely, steering them voluntarily toward the Dark Erosion Holy Hall and the Undead Holy Sect.

En route, Su Lin transformed those Exotic Beasts into assets, marketing them to these twin powers.

Trading Exotic Beasts!

In this Dark Starry Sky, such dealings were utterly routine.

Absent solid backing and state safeguards, those Exotic Beasts faced either solitary hardship or subjugation as thralls by rival powers.

Even live Exotic Beasts commanded higher worth than simple Blood Food supplies.

After all, they could function as combatants, workers, builders, and more.

Su Lin auctioned an Ancestor-level fighter for half a Blood Stone.

Novel species fetched even less, with a thousand going for merely half a Blood Stone.

Naturally, certain fleeing elites and powers seized prior to breakout were divested completely under Su Lin's directives to the Dream Guards.

Gifted youths and mighty figures even joined the Dream Guards as subordinates.

Rebels met swift execution!

Thus, Su Lin's ambitions extended far beyond profits from market swings; he pursued a total, multifaceted plunder of these two Star Nebula Great Clans.

The Greed Storm and Financial Storm served only as the prelude to reaping these two Star Nebula Great Clans.

Su Lin and "Unspeakable" had mutually settled that in two more millennia, directives would launch assaults on the Heavenly Abyss Civilization and the Predator Federation.

Come then, these vast Star Nebula Great Clans would lack the might to fight back effectively.

Inflicting crippling damage on two Star Nebula Great Clans outweighed the mere benefit of their allegiance shift!

Hence, if "Unspeakable" managed to hobble these two Star Nebula Great Clans, demanding two quadrillion in assets wouldn't seem unreasonable, would it?

Simultaneously,

should "Unspeakable" launch hostilities against them, these two Star Nebula Great Clans would inevitably flock to the Undead Holy Sect.

It also served as a nod to the lurking Erosion Spirit King.

Regarding whether the portions Su Lin devoured were gory?

Absurd. In the Dark Starry Sky's contests for dominance, which carnivores partook without violence?

.....

And for Tiffany in the Human Fortress among those in the upper echelons, she was but a tool of minor use, just as many of her fellow students who were equally helpless, a pawn that could easily be discarded by those in power. Despite having been in the Arctic with Sander all this time, the Human Fortress made no rescue effort, which had long since chilled Tiffany’s heart. Observing herself gaining fresh Variant Species flesh within the Wolf Clan as long as she contributed, Tiffany and Sander almost simultaneously resolved on a certain decision.

Su Lin absorbed the expressions of the two entirely; their emotions appeared genuine, aligning with his intentions. He could almost foresee that human society had long collapsed during the Ice Age, and for these two before him, even offering small favors would win their steadfast loyalty. It was indeed a lucrative transaction of which Su Lin could not get enough. Only curiosity remained in his eyes.

What immensely powerful species could defeat the Mad Thunder Skyhawk, possessing such a shocking power, and brazenly carry its body towards the Land of Encounters?

In the astonished gazes of the Predators, the White Wolf, possessing even greater strength, appeared. Its speed was undetectable by the naked eye, a mere blur of white swiftly passed by like a phantom, and upon reopening their eyes, the White Wolf was already standing on a distant slope, letting out a long howl to guide the White Wolf Pack deeper into the Arctic...

This scene etched a deep impression on the minds of many Predators, who, for their entire lives, would likely remember that silver-white figure of the White Wolf, forever unable to erase it from their memories.

For that White Wolf was, among all the species they had encountered, the most overwhelmingly powerful being. Its terrifying strength made them keep their distance, and its eyes, filled with an overbearing disdain for all, instilled fear in their hearts!

In the Land of Encounters, the eternally bright sky was obscured by clouds, and at this moment, a low atmospheric pressure pervaded the air, as if a storm were imminent. Gusts of cold air howled through the Land of Encounters, reaching every corner.
