Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 1990 - 1106: Three Millennia Fleeting! (Part 2)
Previously on Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf...
Ultimately, the Corpse Insect Clan could not turn the tide of their destiny and instead provoked immense outrage.
As a result, they faced near-total annihilation from the united might of the Shadow Clan, Heavenly Destiny Clan, and numerous Star Nebula Great Clans.
The frail remnant of the Corpse Insect Clan in the Wolf Pack Civilization struggled to rebuild and multiply to its present scale after fleeing into the Wangshu Zone.
This highlights the brutal thoroughness of that initial purge.
Meanwhile, as diverse military factions in the Wolf Pack Civilization secure their roles and swiftly recover, grow, and multiply, the moments pass unnoticed.
......
Time flows onward, marking three thousand years in silence.
In the Blazing Nebula over these three millennia, countless lives meet their end every instant.
The Transformation Level Spiritual Essence River often manifests above the Star Core.
Within the Wangshu Zone too, amid the conflict between the Red Sun Empire and the Bright Sun System, more than ten such rivers have resurfaced.
Yet, under the iron grip of the Red Sun Emperor—a genuine taboo powerhouse—no one ventures to challenge for them.
Not even the Wolf Lord makes a move to claim any!
The whole Wolf Pack Civilization stays hushed, pulling back every scout and spy operative.
Over these three thousand years, beyond quietly gathering rogue experts and minor factions, they refrained from dispatching troops to retake lands once controlled by the Hundred Stars Alliance and Black Sun Stellar System.
This created enormous territories left unsupervised by any dominant clans.
Whispers claim that in the clash with the Black Sun Star Priest, the Wolf Lord suffered a wound at his core Origin, causing massive casualties and resource drain across the Wolf Pack Civilization, forcing a phase of hidden recovery.
Yet these tales fail to ease the Red Sun Emperor's vigilance; he presses the assault on the Bright Sun System with greater ferocity.
For he knows full well that at heart, the Wolf Pack Civilization matches the Red Sun Empire in readiness!
Should the Wolf Pack Civilization rebound, unforeseen shifts could arise once more.
What escapes the Red Sun Emperor's knowledge is how the Wolf Pack Civilization, in these profoundly subdued three thousand years,
Silently rebuilds its military forces, which were slashed by over sixty percent at first, nearly restoring them to past glory.
Such a pace of revival stands out remarkably without the boost from Blessed Dao Rhyme feedback.
Reports of each military faction's precise battle prowess and forces flow straight to the Wolf Lord.
[Guardian Divine Army]
Renowned inside the Wolf Pack Civilization as the mightiest force, this Hundred Battles Army earned universal acclaim.
Its sole stain came from lackluster performance against the Void Abyss Mayfly Clan.
Still, the elusive essence of the Void Abyss Mayfly Clan renders complete eradication nearly impossible.
The Hundred Battles Army holds steady at thirty billion strong, without growth.
Devouring spoils from the Void Abyss Mayfly Clan propelled almost every member up by half a level.
Composed solely of Heavenly Boundary Second Layer elites, with two in ten attaining Third Heaven.
It might not match the Demon Breaking Formation Army, Sun Dragon Cavalry Army, or elite troops from top Star Nebula Great Clans, but it has ripened considerably.
During the Void Abyss Mayfly Clan confrontation, the Little Lone Wolf reached Ultimate Ten-layer Heaven, grasping the "Destruction" force.
Now, Su Lin passes him a soul bone from the Lord of Yangyang to hasten his leap to Half-step Taboo.
[Star War Military Group]
In the western push against the Void Abyss Mayfly Clan, the Star War Military Group showed no standout feats, etching its poorest record since inception.
This clash wiped out two powerhouse entities rich in merits, yet they claimed none!
Hence, resentment simmers within the Star War Military Group.
Maintaining its scale, the group funneled all resources into existing Exotic Beasts, lifting even the weakest of its five trillion to Quasi-Sky Realm.
Boasting more than four hundred billion Heavenly Boundary warriors among them!
The Twelve-winged Dream Butterfly, in that war, climbed to Half-step Taboo, mastering the Extreme Heaven Realm Secret Technique: Dream of Sorrow!
Far from a destructive Extreme Heaven Realm Secret Technique, this one specializes in debilitation!
A mournful ballad falls, possibly trapping foes in visions, mirroring the pinnacle outcome of the Seven-headed Ghost-faced Bat King’s own Extreme Heaven Realm Secret Technique.
Lacking raw devastation, its potency remains undeniable!
Prior, the Seven-headed Ghost-faced Bat King—two minor realms below Su Lin—briefly dominated him, proving the might of these arts.
[Direct Lineage One] Under the Serpent Emperor's command, this unit stays rooted at headquarters.
Yet Direct Lineage One endured harsh resource slashes lately, diverting most provisions to other hard-hit units by force.
Progress stayed meager across these thousands of years.
Numbers swelled modestly from twenty trillion to twenty-one trillion, pulling from the Reserve Army Group.
This proves typical without plentiful Blessed Dao Rhyme, Dao Rhythm, or vast supplies.
Though the Serpent Emperor trains on Earth, gains lag far behind frontline warfare,
Earth offers scant paths to elite resources too, stalling the Serpent Emperor at late Ten-layer Heaven—trailing the ex-Roach Emperor, Twelve-winged Dream Butterfly, and fellow War Emperors.
Still, the Serpent Emperor's steady hand on Sky Wolf System matters earns praise, so Su Lin, after deliberation, bestows a soul bone from the Black Sun Star Lord upon him.
.....
With Wolf Clan rewards dispensed, Su Lin turns to the Bear Clan that battled beside him; their leader, the White Bear, eyes prizes hungrily after seeing the hundred pounds of meat given to the wolves.
Polar day in the Land of Adventure hampers hunts, and since the Ice Age dawned, surging Variant Species have turned the Arctic harsher, where a single slip spells doom from a beast's jaws for just scores of pounds of meat.
Hence, abundant meat—especially prime Variant Species Flesh—draws many Bear Clan members to trail the White Wolf.
Su Lin hasn't overlooked the steadfast Bear Clan allies, roaring a summons to share hefty meat portions with them.
Gathered together, the Bear Clan, long dwelling near the White Wolf Pack, deciphers the White Wolf’s calls and responds with joyful "Hoo hoo hoo" roars in the cavern, their devotion to the White Wolf deepening via this feast.
Su Lin sees how this fight bound his kin tighter, so he lavishes gifts on followers to build fiercer loyalty, swelling his tribe steadily toward unchallenged rule as Arctic Overlord over frozen wastes!
Fresh from honoring Wolf and Bear Clans, Sander and Tiffany draw Su Lin’s gaze anew; he anticipates these humans fighting for Wolf Clan survival.
Su Lin plans to raise these two as his human envoys, granting each two hundred pounds of meat—enough to last awhile.
Sander and Tiffany reel in shock and gratitude toward the White Wolf, never dreaming battle aid would yield such bounty.
Sander reflects on Human Fortress days as a lowly novice, enduring jeers and abuse amid resource famine; there, elite Variant Species Flesh went first to bosses and strong New Humans, out of reach for base newbies like him. Weighing then against now, his choice stands firm.
