Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 2058 - 1142: Wolf Lord’s Resources, Flocking Arrivals
Previously on Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf...
On the fringe of the Jinhuang System's nebula layer,
a colossal stellar nebula stretching for tens of thousands of light-years, encompassing the entirety of the Blazing Nebula, subtly parted with a fissure.
There was no sound, no tremor, not even a whisper of energy fluctuation was detected.
It was as if an unseen blade had deftly carved through a canvas, creating a rift within the immense nebular expanse that acted as a barrier to all beings beneath the level of taboo existence.
Through this opening, several wisps of fur drifted inward,
meandering directly towards the three remaining powers at the periphery of the Defensive Zone.
Not long after the fur made its way towards these three forces, they coalesced, unifying their strength and proceeding directly towards the Central Star Core of Blazing Flame.
...
Meanwhile,
at the Southern Star Core of the Blazing Nebula.
"Brother Three, should the Heavenly Destiny Clan decide to auction the Central Star Core at this upcoming event, make an effort to secure it. If the bidding escalates too high, however, let it go! Regardless of whether we obtain it or not, the future dominion over the Central Star Core will inevitably be ours!"
At this precise moment, Black One Heavenly Lord stood upon a magnificent Fate Altar. His eyes, as dark as the abyss, surveyed the Central Star Core, their depths alight with profound contemplation and solemnity.
Surrounding him was a colossal shadow, mirroring Black One Heavenly Lord's form but devoid of the frigid arrogance and malevolence characteristic of the Heizi Tribe.
Instead, this entity emanated a gentle warmth and serene composure, akin to a benevolent gentleman.
This was Black Three Heavenly Lord!
Revered within the Heizi Tribe for his exceptional strategic mind and unimpeachable reputation.
He inclined his head with calm affirmation, "Understood, I shall endeavor to do so. However, Elder Brother, are we truly to forgo avenging Old Four and Old Five? While their loss of the One Lifetime is ultimately a matter of karmic consequence, the absence of a replenished One Lifetime will undoubtedly leave a scar on their future pursuit of ultimate sublimation and attainment of the pinnacle. They might forever be barred from ascending the third step of the Dimension Realm!"
The external world remained oblivious to the demise of Black Fourth Heavenly Lord and Black Fifth Heavenly Lord, yet how could the Heavenly Lords of the Heizi Tribe be unaware that their One Lifetimes had been irrevocably extinguished?
Black Three Heavenly Lord wielded considerable influence within the Heizi Tribe!
Nevertheless, Black One ultimately conveyed his dissent with a shake of his head, "Let it be, there is no necessity. Behind this matter lies the karmic entanglement with the Eternal Night Branch. Once a vow is made, it must be honored. However, after three million years have transpired, the promise will no longer hold sway. At that juncture, be it grievance or vengeance, all will be settled then! For the present, focus on controlling and comforting Old Four and Old Five."
Black One Heavenly Lord’s spiritual will once again overruled the suggestion!
This directive prompted Black Three Heavenly Lord to simply nod in agreement, "Very well, I will exert my utmost effort!"
He had consistently maintained amicable relations with all Heavenly Lords and members, serving as the cohesive force and stabilizing influence within the Heizi Tribe.
Had it not been for his persistent counsel to Black Four and Black Five over the course of millions of years, their true forms might have long ago been revealed as they charged towards the Wangshu Zone.
Following a brief exchange with Black One, Black Three's form flickered and vanished from the Southern Star Core.
Concurrently, the Royal Army contingent accompanying Black Three Heavenly Lord at the Northern Star Core began to stir, preparing for movement.
After all, this Star Core Auction was a gathering of disparate elements, and Black Three Heavenly Lord was disinclined to see his One Lifetime suffer the same fate as Black Four and Black Five!
...
At the Central Star Core of the Blazing Nebula,
atop an exceedingly unassuming, towering mountain,
a figure as refined as jade, possessing a human head and a serpentine body, sat in a state of cross-legged cultivation upon the mountain's peak.
This individual appeared quite ordinary, yet with every inhalation, the resonance of the Dao, the flow of Fortune, and the accumulated Heavenly Fortune and Fate of the Heavenly Destiny Clan were drawn into her being.
This infusion rendered her increasingly sacred and inviolable.
Her physical form was utterly unadorned, requiring no external cultivation or refinement of Star Energy or other material objects. Yet, the aura she projected was potent enough to repel all forms of energy.
She displayed no discernible emotion, appearing as an embodiment of order and governance itself, her gaze subtly reflecting the myriad primordial laws governing this vast expanse of the starry sky.
The immense power of the cosmos was invisibly tethered to her form through an intricate web of connections.
The formidable might of space-time and the fundamental truths of dimensions flowed around her like an unending river.
Such is the nature of the Heavenly Clan!
They possess no need for external power.
For they themselves command the most potent force within this starry expanse.
"Deputy Clan Leader, are we truly intending to auction the rights to possession and residency of the Central Star Core as the primary centerpiece of the auction?"
The Right Protector of the Heavenly Destiny Clan approached her with profound respect, his voice imbued with deep reverence.
His eyes conveyed a complex tapestry of emotions as he gazed upon this breathtaking star nebula, an entity invincible throughout the cosmos – the Deputy Clan Leader.
It was admiration, fervent awe, and a trace of envy witnessed.
For the Heavenly Destiny Clan, while not possessing direct bloodlines, their ranks are largely filled by branches of the Heavenly Clan itself, inherently nurtured by the celestial expanse.
Upon reaching a certain threshold of power, they are granted the opportunity to integrate into the direct lineage of the Heavenly Clan.
Yet, the Deputy Clan Leader standing before them lacked such an unadulterated lineage.
She did not even bother to purge the tainted blood of other species within her, allowing her humanoid form to persist openly upon her being.
"Indeed, since we are departing, why not lease the Central Star Core for a profit? We can forcibly seize the Fate and Fortune of these rebellious and destructive factions, and also receive the feedback of Dao Rhythm, Fortune, and Energy from the starry skies. These resources will enable us to forge numerous Star Energy Weapons, assisting us in breaching the internal strongholds of the next wave of rebels and destroyers. Abundant resources will significantly lessen the casualties among our Heavenly Destiny Clan members.
Moreover, this is merely a temporary lease of the residency and possession rights for the Central Star Core. Should conflict erupt here once more, this established connection will serve as our basis for return. The competition among the Heavenly Clan's branches is fierce, and failing to remain at the forefront of suppression efforts can result in disbandment, diminished status, or even assimilation into other branches."
With the spiritual will of the Heavenly Destiny Clan's Deputy Leader firmly cemented, the Right Protector offered a respectful nod before falling silent.
This quasi-taboo superpower remained motionless, standing as a vigilant sentinel beside the Deputy Clan Leader.
Aside from the machinations and movements of the Heizi Tribe and the Heavenly Destiny Clan, formidable overlord forces from various Star Core clans, and even those hailing from the outer fringes, were all converging toward the Star Core.
After all, the plundering over decades of Eras had left behind a wealth of items, irrespective of whether they garnered favor from the Heavenly Clan and Heavenly Destiny Clan. These were plentiful enough to incite a frenzy among all powers within the Blazing Nebula.
......
Positioned before Meng Hu, observing him with a cold, impassive gaze akin to scrutinizing a corpse,
a palpable aura of impending danger instantly enveloped the entirety of the Invincible Fierce Tiger's being, causing it to draw a sharp, involuntary breath. A chilling sensation washed over it, making it feel like a fish on a chopping board awaiting its demise. This sensation pushed Meng Hu's psyche to the precipice of collapse. Meng Hu could not fathom why the White Wolf had not dispatched him immediately, but instead incurred the effort of transporting him from the ice to the Land of Adventure. This dread of the unknown surged within Meng Hu's heart, yet his feeble strength rendered any notion of resistance futile, despite the rising panic. Within the White Wolf's domain in the Land of Adventure, he was utterly powerless.
Su Lin meticulously examined Meng Hu before him, his gaze detached, as if assessing a subservient slave.
Awooooo—— Su Lin let out a soft howl towards the Wolf Clan members nearby, signaling them to escort the critically endangered Siberian Tiger away and keep it under secure confinement.
The nearby Wolf Clan promptly obeyed, collectively dragging Meng Hu away. His wounds scraped against the unforgiving ground, reopening previously festering sores and causing fresh blood to spill. A thin trail of crimson extended from beneath Su Lin's feet, seemingly stretching endlessly out of the cave.
Su Lin watched the bloody trail recede, his eyes clear and steady, reminiscent of the tranquil water found in ancient wells, entirely undisturbed by any ripples.
As for the remaining Variant Species Flesh, Su Lin intended to distribute it as rewards based on merit. This was precisely what the entire Wolf Clan eagerly anticipated, for to them, nothing held greater importance than sustenance.
