Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 2376 - 1302: Negotiation Ends, Peng Emperor Re-enters the Star Nebula

Only after Eternal Night Twenty-one made a move to suppress it did it finally recover its original appearance.

This was the spearhead of a Dragon Spear. Its form was somewhat similar to that of the Sun Emperor’s, yet it was forged from hundreds of kinds of Divine Gold and the Ancestor Dragon Skull. Even with blood-qi suppressing it, it still faintly cast forth a hundred hues of Divine Light.

This was also the signature Heavy Weapon of the previous Star Cluster Master.

Once, wherever the Dragon Spear pointed, the entire Orion Star Group would throw itself into battle without regard for life or death.

But times have changed; the current Dragon Spear had long since been broken, abandoned for countless Eras before once more appearing in the world.

"Mm, I understand."

The Peng Emperor did not refuse Eternal Night Twenty-one’s goodwill.

After accepting this Dragon Spear’s spearhead, he took Su Lin with a single blur of motion and headed straight for an even higher region of the starry sky.

He casually set up a concealing Formation, then his Shadow slowly stepped out from Su Lin’s Wolf Body, borrowing the Power of Dao Fruit, whereupon he turned back and met Su Lin’s gaze.

"I helped you agree to this transaction—this won’t disrupt your arrangements, will it?"

The Peng Emperor’s Spiritual Will was gentle and approachable, completely without the sharp, exposed edge he had shown when confronting Eternal Night Twenty-one.

After all, even if the filter through which he viewed the Wolf Lord had faded a great deal, the Wolf Lord was, in the end, the benefactor who had awakened his Residual Spirits’ awareness.

He even now suspected that perhaps that wisp of his Soul Spirit, which had once lacked consciousness, had experienced too much and was already on the verge of revival.

It was merely that, by coincidence, Su Lin attempted it at that exact moment, and thus he fully revived.

Otherwise, from his present perspective, looking again at the intensity of this Borrowing Power to Summon God, it was far from reaching the level at which his Residual Soul could reshape its awareness and reignite its True Spirit.

"The Heizi Tribe’s comradeship is unparalleled. If you don’t take them away, I’ll have to expend great effort to completely slaughter them, and by then my forces under command will be reduced once more by many. In addition, I promised you back then that I would leave them a thread of life. Since you happened to come, it saves me from breaking my word."

At this moment, Su Lin, who had once more taken control of his Body, spoke slowly.

This strand of Spiritual Will of his was genuine.

After all, the Heizi Tribe is an extremely peculiar tribe. Even the black essence they turn into after dying in battle and falling is far weaker than Exotic Beasts of the same Level.

Let alone Star Sky Great Clans of the same Level— even vassal forces of the same Level cannot compare.

Yet this also meant that the Heizi Tribe had used Strength inferior to even ordinary Exotic Beasts of the same Level to fight out battle-power so defiant of the heavens that they could go one against nine, one against ten.

Thus, with the Wolf Pack Civilization having achieved great victory now, if the Peng Emperor could take away the remaining military power of the Heizi Tribe, it would count as lightening the burden on the Wolf Pack.

"Good! In addition, once Eternal Night Twenty-one and I return, it won’t be long before there are Species that will deliver to you Nine Sovereign Destiny Boundary Steles and Nine Sovereign Three-Stripe Destiny Altars. Let that count as my congratulatory gift to you for soon unifying the Star Nebula and becoming the Star Nebula Lord!"

The Peng Emperor offered his congratulations to Su Lin in advance.

For now that the Wolf Pack Civilization had defeated the Heizi Tribe, any clear-eyed being could see that the trend of the Wolf Pack Civilization unifying the Blazing Nebula was fundamentally unstoppable.

So long as the Wolf Pack Civilization did not muddle things on its own, and no extremely powerful external forces intervened, then the integration of the Blazing Nebula by the Wolf Pack Civilization was merely a question of time.

"Many thanks."

Su Lin replied very calmly.

This calmness of Su Lin’s caused the Peng Emperor—who had originally wanted to say more to him—to ultimately press his heartfelt words back down.

Because both the Peng Emperor and Su Lin had, at this moment, already clearly sensed the gulf between them.

The Peng Emperor was no longer that wisp of Residual Soul under Su Lin’s Control.

Su Lin was also no longer as he had been, knowing nothing of the Peng Emperor’s Strength and realm.

Moreover, with Su Lin deliberately suppressing Borrowing Power to Summon God and hiding this defiant-to-heaven Cause and Effect, he could distinctly feel the Peng Emperor’s coldness.

Otherwise, the Peng Emperor would not have taken it upon himself to decide in Su Lin’s stead.

From the moment the Peng Emperor made a decision for him, it meant that the statuses of the two sides had long ceased to be equal.

Nor was it still the status-quota from the moment of resurrection, with Su Lin above and the Peng Emperor below.

Yet this was also what Su Lin desired.

The Cause and Effect bound to Borrowing Power to Summon God was too great. As he now had already been stained with the Cause and Effect of the "Unspeakable" Star Envoy, he naturally did not wish to once more be tainted with the Cause and Effect of apex powerhouses like the Peng Emperor and Eternal Night Twenty-one.

Otherwise, no matter how defiant Borrowing Power to Summon God was, no matter how Extraordinary and Unworldly his combat-strength became, under the gazes of so many super powerhouses, the secrets on his body would inevitably be stripped clean.

At this time, the Peng Emperor and Su Lin once more locked eyes for a long while, yet in the end neither said another word.

Even the recent updates on the Orion Star Cluster Core that the Peng Emperor had originally wanted to share with Su Lin were finally dropped.

For after regaining Peak and witnessing Borrowing Power to Summon God anew, he had deeply confirmed that this art could not awaken the previous Orion Star Group Lord.

Thus, this Taichu Grey Wolf before him had no need to hear matters that exceeded what someone of his Level should know.

After all, the waters of the Orion Star Group were fiercely turbulent; if Su Lin knew too much yet lacked sufficient Strength and hidden cards, it would often only bring him harm.

Next, after another silent pause, the Peng Emperor left behind a strand of Spiritual Will and, amid a long, piercing cry, re-entered the Blazing Nebula.

Only, this time upon entering the Blazing Nebula, the entire Nebula was shaken.

One could see a golden Great Dao connecting Heaven and Earth, almost in an instant covering the distance from the outer stars straight to the Star Core.

And upon reaching the Star Core, the Peng Emperor was like the sole God. With a wave of his probing claw, a sea’s worth of scattered Heizi Tribe military power was taken into the hollow of his paw.

This scene instantly shocked all.

.....

Facing the two White Wolves who still followed him and who had rendered immense service in this battle, Su Lin was utterly unstinting, directly granting them three hundred jin of blood and meat. This massive reward that had descended out of nowhere made Xiao Hui howl excitedly on the spot, while even though the Little Lone Wolf did not show it outwardly, that one howl, tinged with excitement, still told Su Lin that the two White Wolves were, at this moment, extremely joyful.

As for the other Wolf Clan—so long as they had participated in the battle and the meritorious White Wolves had distinguished themselves, whether Beta Wolf or Hài-Wolf, all received the rewards they deserved. In an instant, the entire cave became lively, like humans celebrating a New Year; every White Wolf that had obtained a reward, so long as its temper was lively, could not help but jump up and down at this time.

After finishing the rewards for the Wolf Clan, Su Lin once more turned his gaze toward the Bear Clan who had followed him out to battle this time. At this moment, the White Bears leading the Bear Clan were all eager and restless; upon seeing the hundreds of jin of flesh Su Lin had rewarded the Wolf Clan with, they all the more looked forward to their own reward.

The Land of Adventure where the extreme polar day had descended was not easy hunting grounds. Ever since the Ice Age arrived, the creatures had manifested many Variant Species, and in the already harsh environment of the Arctic, hunting had become even more challenging. One careless moment, and for the sake of a few dozen jin of blood and meat, one might lose one’s life beneath a predator’s Fanged Tooth.

Thus a very large part of the reason why many from the Bear Clan chose to follow the White Wolf was for the sake of ample blood and meat, and even higher-quality Variant Species Flesh.

Su Lin had, of course, not forgotten these Bear Clan members who had always followed him in battle, so he let out a resounding howl and distributed to the Bear Clan a large amount of flesh as well.

The Bear Clan gathered together. In the days of living side by side with the White Wolf Pack, they had already roughly come to understand the meanings within the White Wolves’ howls, and so they all joyfully let out "roar, roar, roar" within the cave. This great harvest made the heart with which they submitted to the White Wolf even more steadfast.

Su Lin also understood that this battle had once more made the Tribe under his command more loyal, and so he was utterly unstinting toward the subordinates who had followed him out to fight, using this to draw in more animals’ sense of belonging. Su Lin’s Tribe would only grow stronger and fiercer, day after day, until it became the Arctic Overlord whose status upon the entire Icefield could not be shaken!

After the rewards for the Wolf Clan and Bear Clan ended, Sander and Tiffany finally drew Su Lin’s attention once more. As for these two humans, Su Lin had long anticipated that they would follow the Wolf Clan to battle for the sake of survival.

Su Lin intended to cultivate these two humans before him into agents under his command, so when he faced them he also granted no small reward—the flesh given to Sander and Tiffany totaled two hundred jin, enough for them to survive for quite some time.

This left Sander and Tiffany somewhat surprised, yet their hearts were filled with even greater gratitude toward the White Wolf. They had not expected that simply participating in battle could earn them so much food.
