Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 2036 - 1131: Forbidden Body, Withdrawal from the Frontline Struggle

With a mere thought, the Sun Emperor perceived the horrifying terror of those creatures alongside the ecstatic thrill surging through his army.

Desires from every species flowed straight into his Sea of Consciousness, channeled by the Power of the Starry Sky and the Three Thousand Origin Rules.

Yet in short order, the Sun Emperor blocked his Spiritual Sense against the cravings of most species, permitting only those bound by cause and effect, his army, and fellow comrades.

Having sealed it shut, his eyes shifted once more to the Myriad Phenomena Universe Scroll.

This cherished treasure of the Sun Empress doubled as a quasi-taboo heavy artifact.

Valuing it greatly, the Sun Emperor stored it safely away before turning toward the Sovereign of the Undead Holy Church who guarded him, offering a nod as he spoke, "Thank you!"

"You’re welcome!"

These two had forged their acquaintance back in the Blazing Flame Clan era, skipping excessive formalities between them.

With a nod of recognition, the Emperor withdrew alongside his forces—a select group of iron-blooded elite aces plus tens of trillions of matching top forces strong enough to claim an entire Star Core realm.

He abandoned any push to retake the Wangshu Zone.

For even a return right now would fail to rescue the Empress.

Furthermore, as his fury subsided, the truth of the Empress's words rang clear: should the Wolf Pack Civilization prove unjust and the Wangshu Zone's inhabitants endure torment, he could bring his legions back to gather all in resistance.

Yet if the Wolf Pack Civilization stood innocent, such a return would merely unleash further agony upon countless lives.

Thus, the Sun Emperor brought everyone back to the Star Core domain.

His only wish now burned to guide these comrades and the vast throng commanded by the Sunshine Third Emperor toward a serene existence.

No more deaths did he crave to behold.

With the Bright Day System clinging to just these remnants of power, it could scarcely endure additional devastating losses.

The Bright Day System had arrived at the moment to withdraw from the frontline chaos and restore its vigor.

Thus, soon after the Sun Emperor's arrival, he proclaimed a decree.

The Bright Day System would seal its borders straight through to the Era's close, steering clear of all Star Core turmoil in that span.

Shortly thereafter,

in the aftermath of the Bright Day System pulling out from frontline supremacy,

it took little time for the Entropy Prison System to unveil its own announcement.

Declaring the Entropy Prison System's withdrawal from the Star Core struggle against the "Unspeakable," opting to rest until the era concluded.

This clash had exacted a heavy toll on the Entropy Prison System already, and pressing on risked shattering its very roots.

Above all, none dared confront the fearsome might of the Heizi Tribe.

As for "Unspeakable,"

in reality, the Entropy Prison System shunned pushing it toward utter destruction, recognizing it as the steadiest trade empire spanning the boundless dark starry sky.

Cold-blooded as it might be, trustworthiness defined it still.

What trade faction chases anything but profits, especially against the Blazing Flame Clan's dreamed starry sky order—so radiant and full of promise.

Thus, the Entropy Prison System held no plans to battle them to the finish.

Next came the Demon Emperor's restoration of the Demon Star Lord, a rogue force in the Star Core that had thrown in with the Ten Thousand Demon System for the war.

This rogue force shared deep ties with the Old Demon Emperor from the start, both masters at atomic level great achievement,

and through over ten thousand years of endless campaigns, its raw power and leadership won over the Demon Emperor along with all the troops.

The Demon Emperor declared the Demon Star Lord to helm the Eastern Star Core Foundation, as he himself prepared to escort portions of the forces back to the Ten Thousand Demon System soon!

It must be noted,

by now, three among the Blazing Flame Clan's four supreme powers had pulled back.

Alone stood the Undead Holy Church, its Undead Army feasting on vast swaths of the battlefield's fallen souls after triumph, bloating its numbers skyward to nearly three trillion rather than waning.

Still, the Sovereign of the Undead Holy Church had endured spells of foggy Divine Sense—the deadliest flaw in his bid to breed Blazing Flame Ink within his own flesh.

Victory remained doubtful, and worst case, both he and the Blazing Flame Ink could vanish entirely.

Hence, the Undead Holy Church refused to bide its time any further.

Even sans allies, the Undead Holy Church resolved to storm the Western Star Core.

Since Chi Hun had once been an investor in the "Unspeakable," he understood full well that its backers couldn't possibly hail from the Heizi Tribe or the Heavenly Destiny Clan—they must be situated in the Western Star Core.

To utterly banish "Unspeakable" from the Blazing Nebula, its investors needed complete eradication; failure to do so meant it was fated to resurgence.

Furthermore, the Undead Holy Church had already embedded a vital stronghold within the Western Star Core long ago.

This stronghold now commanded half the lands and inhabitants of the defunct Predator Federation and Heavenly Abyss Civilization, while its Undead Army Group had ballooned to nearly four trillion troops.

Hence, it could fully exploit this stronghold to crack open the battlefield in the Western Star Core.

"But who are the remaining investors? Where is the Squad Leader of 'Unspeakable'?"

Just then, Chi Hun, Sovereign of the Undead Holy Church, fixed his stare on the glowing Star Core map, a frightful icy gleam exploding in his eyes.

Yet moments later, a flicker of agony crossed his gaze, born from the torment of his Divine Soul,

even as this mighty overlord, he faltered on his feet, emitting a guttural moan of suffering.

His attendants, however, were thoroughly familiar with this affliction, standing mute vigil by the Hierarch to ward off any external disturbances.

.....

Right after the Bright Day System, Entropy Prison System, and Ten Thousand Demon System declared their successive retreats from frontline warfare, the once-chaotic Blazing Star Core descended into a phase of fragile peace and quiet.

Though the Undead Holy Church hadn't unleashed a full assault on the Western Star Core, nor pinpointed the faction backing the "Unspeakable" investors.

In this era of tentative calm and serenity,

two thousand years had now elapsed since that cataclysmic war, and on a derelict Level 5 Star in the Wangshu Zone, a secretive conclave unfolded.

Present at this conclave was none other than the Squad Leader of "Unspeakable," the very figure haunting the relentless thoughts of the Undead Holy Church's Sovereign!

.....

Before the two steadfast White Wolves who had trailed him loyally and delivered key feats in the fray, Su Lin wasted no time in bestowing three hundred pounds of meat upon them—the abrupt lavish gift sparking Xiao Hui to yip gleefully right there, while Little Lone Wolf masked his thrill, though his exuberant howl betrayed the pair's profound elation to Su Lin.

Among the remaining Wolf Clan, solely the battle-hardened standouts—be they Beta Wolf or Hai Wolf—claimed their rightful portions too; instantly, the cavern transformed into a boisterous human New Year revelry, brimming with vigor as every spirited rewarded White Wolf leaped and cavorted wildly.

With the Wolf Clan duly honored, Su Lin's eyes shifted back to the Bear Clan that had battled at his flank, who, under the White Bear's lead, brimmed with anticipation—having witnessed the wolves garner hundreds of pounds of meat, they now hungered keenly for their own shares.

Hunting across the Land of Adventure in Polar Day grew perilous; post-Ice Age dawn, myriad Variant Species had spawned amid the beasts, rendering Arctic pursuits in the unforgiving cold deadlier still—a single lapse could doom one to a predator's savage bite over scant dozens of pounds of flesh.

Thus, a prime lure drawing the Bear Clan to trail the White Wolves lay in the bountiful meat provisions, particularly the premium Variant Species Flesh.

Su Lin hadn't overlooked these enduring comrades-in-arms, so he unleashed another mighty howl, parceling out additional meat to the Bear Clan.

Gathered as one, the Bear Clan—cohabiting daily with the White Wolf Pack—had come to grasp the wolves' howl intents decently, erupting in jubilant "ho ho ho" bellows through the cave; this sumptuous banquet forged their devotion to the White Wolves ever more unbreakable.

Su Lin recognized how this triumph had intensified his tribe's fidelity, so he showered bounty on his battle allies to kindle deeper allegiance in more creatures. In time, Su Lin's tribe would burgeon in strength and ferocity, ascending to an impregnable throne as the Arctic Overlord dominating the vast ice plains!
