Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf

Chapter 1757: Chapter 987: The Grand Banquet—Announcing Heaven’s Mandate!

In addition, the Demon Star Lord, the Planet Lords within the Ten Thousand Demon System, the Vassal Kings of major Vassal Towns, and even his subordinate ministers and war generals all came to greet him.

Most importantly, he actually found out that Tian Gui is a soul body, and the entire hall is filled with Soul Nourishing Stones!

This is extremely precious and can bring the greatest comfort to soul bodies.

Even Su Lin and his party, although they didn’t figure out what he likes, were still greeted by a group of female exotic beasts with various temperaments—some seductive, some enchanting, some cold.

It can be said that the Demon Star Lord is very skilled at winning people’s hearts.

This is definitely not something he gained from his father’s power but, like the Emperor’s Son of Radiant Sun, he truly has the absolute ability and acumen of a competent overlord!

However, the starry sky is boundless and there are countless geniuses!

Many times, the power struggles within a strong Star Nebula Great Clan often result in countless casualties.

"Brother Tian Gui, Brother Mo Peng, please take your seats. I am truly grateful for your assistance. If I manage to settle this coup and military change, I will certainly reward you handsomely!"

The Demon Star Lord, with great humility and respect, signaled Su Lin and the strongest of the Undead Holy Sect to enter.

Even followers like the Twelve-winged Dream Butterfly and the Black Gold Demon Ape were treated with great courtesy.

None of his subordinate ministers or Vassal Kings showed any different spiritual will!

After all, the Heavenly Destiny Clan often only needs to use that name to deter the thoughts of many exotic beasts.

Moreover, both Su Lin and Tian Gui are seasoned half-step taboo powerhouses!

"Tian Gui, Brother Mo Peng, sit here."

The Demon Star Lord directly offered the two guest seats of honor, Su Lin nodded slightly in thanks, but Tian Gui sat down without a word.

"Enough with the pleasantries, Demon Star Lord, we’re here to get things done. I just want to know how certain you are about winning this vote? Hmph, and having a vote decide the leader of a strong Star Nebula Great Clan, really opened this old man’s eyes. Such things haven’t happened in the Blazing Nebula for many years?"

Tian Gui ruthlessly swept aside the courtesy offered by the Demon Star Lord, baring everything in the open, evidently forcing the Demon Star Lord to reveal the true situation.

They were here to devise strategies, not to risk their lives to kill the Demon Star Lord!

If there’s a chance to resolve things peacefully, peace is naturally best.

Tian Gui’s words made the Demon Star Lord respond humbly: "Brother Tian Gui, we can discuss this privately later, let’s first enjoy the feast. The wine crafted with Fortune Essence and Purple Ganoderma offers hope of enlightenment for anyone below the Nine Heavens, how about we toast a cup?"

"Hmph!"

Tian Gui eventually snorted coldly, still showing no reaction.

Only Su Lin, with a flick of thought, sent the essence from a glass, a thousand feet long, directly into his stomach, and faint grayish notifications began to rise before his eyes.

Notifications showed that several kinds of exotic plants and Fortune Essence had been consumed consecutively, and the provided Evolution Essence was not inferior to a Peak Heavenly Venerate Level exotic beast.

This was indeed a good thing.

Under Su Lin’s signal, the Twelve-winged Dream Butterfly, Black Gold Demon Ape, Fox-tail Algae, Godspeed Golden Eagle, Dreamy Spiders, Lev, and others began to drink as well.

After Su Lin smoothed things over, the atmosphere slightly relaxed.

Following an immense banquet that lasted over a dozen days,

Even Su Lin’s Dream Guards and Tian Gui’s three hundred thousand Black Robe Undead received and gifted many top-level consumable resources,

The Demon Star Lord finally dismissed many of the attending Vassal Kings and exotic beasts,

Leaving only Su Lin, Tian Gui, and his own approximately ten ministers in the entire Demon Hall, he began to detail the situation of this struggle for succession.

"Brother Tian Gui, Brother Mo Peng, before your arrival, I was at a disadvantage in this vote. After all, the Ten Thousand Demon System is not just the forces within the nebula layer, but also various external vassals and affiliate forces. Their Ancestor-level military power accounts for at least sixty percent, while I control only forty percent. But with your arrival and the banner of the Heavenly Destiny Clan, I believe now it should be fifty-fifty!"

"Is that so? Can you guarantee that no one within the system acknowledges the Demon Star Lord? What’s more, the state policies you promote imply that the Demon Star Lord would better win hearts!"

Once again Tian Gui interrupted the Demon Star Lord’s narrative.

One of the personal commanders, a Peak Nine Heavens, stepped forward: "The state policy of the Emperor’s Son inherits from the Emperor, so why would the Demon Star Lord better win hearts?"

The ruler’s humiliation calls for a minister’s death!

Such pressure on the Demon Star Lord from Tian Gui within their home ground naturally prompted some discontent among the inner circle.

However, the Demon Star Lord quickly reprimanded, instructing the personal commander not to be rude: "Brother Tian Gui, my father’s policies are my policies, I will not change them. Internally, we consolidate and prepare; externally, we seek opportunities for vengeance against the Black Sun Clan, for you know, in this Dark Starry Sky, isolation leads to death. Furthermore, aren’t all those once mighty Star Nebula forces destroyed by the Black Sun Clan standing examples? The Black Sun Clan is a gangrene of the entire Blazing Nebula, and I shall never go against my will to preach any notion of peaceful coexistence!"

The Demon Star Lord completely revealed his true intentions.

However, he still didn’t reveal that once the succession fails, he would inevitably compel Su Lin and Tian Gui to unite and find a flaw in the Demon Star Lord to kill him!

Even though the Ten Thousand Demons Ancestor claims neutrality, in truth, he stands by his side.

But the Demon Star Lord commands immense respect in the cosmic armies and his strength indeed reaches the peak of a half-step taboo, hence the need for external aid, for a final desperate attempt.

......

Standing in front of the Fierce Tiger, looking at it like gazing at a lifeless corpse, cold and emotionless.

A potent aura of danger enveloped the entire body of the Invincible Fierce Tiger, causing the creature, already struggling for breath, to gasp deeply, as if it were like fish on the chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered by the White Wolf. This feeling almost drove the Ferocious Tiger to mental collapse. The Invincible Fierce Tiger didn’t understand why the White Wolf didn’t just kill it outright, instead, expending effort to bring it back from the icy layers to the Land of Adventure. The fear of the unknown surged in the Fierce Tiger’s heart, but at this moment of weakness, it had no strength to resist, even amidst fear. In this territory of the White Wolf, it was useless.

Su Lin examined the Fierce Tiger before him, as a high-ranking master would assess a slave he had brought back, with his eyes full of indifference.

"Owl—" Su Lin let out a low howl to the Wolf Clan beside him, instructing them to take away the dying Siberia Tiger and watch over it well.

The nearby Wolf Clan quickly responded, and several wolves teamed up to drag away the Fierce Tiger. Its wounds dragged on the ground, bleeding again from the already festering injuries, and a thin trail of blood stretched from under Su Lin’s feet out of the cave, seemingly endless.

Su Lin watched this blood stain, his gaze as calm as water in an ancient well, unchanged.

As for the rest of the Variant Species flesh, Su Lin would proceed with rewarding based on merit. This was the moment all the Wolf Clan anticipated most; for them, nothing was more important than food.

Several wolves began to eye the Variant Species flesh in the distance with covetous eyes, their gazes tinged with aggression, and they seemed ready to shed their civilized behavior at Su Lin’s command and dash towards the Variant Species flesh.

Su Lin looked at the two tall figures standing nearby. Xiao Hui sensed the imposing gaze of their Wolf King, quickly straightening his posture, while Little Lone Wolf stood with respectful eyes lowered, which satisfied Su Lin greatly.

As the Lead Wolf, Little Lone Wolf, even possessing enormous power, still held reverence for Su Lin.
