Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf

Chapter 2299: Chapter 1263: Return of the Master of Jinhuang

"There’s nothing I can do, I can only leave it to fate, let ties come and go as they will, but in the end I am still myself!"

This was the promise the Illusion God made to Su Lin.

He had no way to stop his path from overlapping with that of the Old Ancestor, but he was destined to still be himself!

Back then he had followed the Wolf Lord precisely to fight against fate, and so it would be in the future as well.

The Illusion God now was in a very subtle realm.

He was only at the Mid-Third Step Dimension, yet the solidity of his Dao Heart surpassed many Late Stage, even Late Stage peak existences.

He could almost rival a Quasi-Monarch Peak, able to, with a single movement of thought, summon forth the Heart of Dao Fruit to assist him in battle!

But in exchange, the amount of True Blood and Soul Spirit in his body that had regressed to ancestral form increased.

This was also a symptom that had begun to appear ever since the fall of the Heavenly Fate Second Divine General.

It was clear to see that perhaps the remnant Soul Spirit of the Old Ancestor had already determined it could not have the Illusion God go to Sacrifice,

and in the short term the Heavenly Clan had again gone to war with the War Clan, the Phantom Demon Clan, the Retro Revivalists and the Eternal Night Clan, fated to have neither the time nor energy to help it search for the Illusion God.

So it wanted to, in a reverse-nurturing manner, perform Body-snatching on the Illusion God.

But the Illusion God was likewise an apex prodigy well-versed in Heavenly Clan Secret Technique!

As for who would ultimately win, Su Lin was not sure.

Yet Su Lin knew that the Illusion God had already begun to pluck at his originally predetermined trajectory.

Aside from the Illusion God, the Serpent Emperor had suffered the heaviest injuries, and for tens of millions of years had remained in a state of healing.

So after Su Lin returned, he bestowed upon the Serpent Emperor the Dimension Heart he had taken from the Third Young Master of the Heaven-Burning Golden Falcon.

Even the weakest Young Master possessed the Peak of the Second Step of Dimension.

As long as the Serpent Emperor, within these several million years, could truly comprehend and digest this Dimension Heart, then he too could take a great step forward on the Dimension Road.

As for the Radiant Sun Princess, the Merciful National Master, the Ancient Giant Turtle, and even the Light Slayer Beast, Long Baiyu, the Golden Ant, the Shadow Qilin Dragon, the Sky Wing Deer, the Illusionary Sound Moth and the other Exotic Beasts that had followed him back from the Star Road, all received generous resource rewards.

Because from this Star Road’s Heart, the resources Su Lin gained were far richer than he had imagined.

At present the Light Slayer Beast, after tempering over tens of millions of years, had as he wished stepped into the Quasi-taboo Level.

Su Lin had not broken his word, and directly rewarded the Light Slayer Beast with a Fate Altar.

And aside from the Light Slayer Beast,

Su Lin also secretly rewarded the Sand Fox, the Lonely Wolf Emperor, the Erosion Spirit King, the Sun Empress, the Desperate Evil Tiger and others of the Shadow Army Group each with a Fate Altar.

Among them, in terms of battle merit, the Sun Empress perhaps did not deserve such a Fate Altar.

But if not for the Sun Empress,

back then there would inevitably have been an incomparably brutal blood battle with the Sun Emperor and the elite trump-card forces under his command.

Thus the role the Sun Empress played was more important than a heaven-shaking battle merit.

And rewarding the Sun Empress was also to allow those Exotic Beasts that had once been suppressed by the Bright Day System and the Blazing Flame to have a greater sense of belonging.

After these five Fate Altars were bestowed, the number of taboo existences within the Wolf Pack Civilization could be said to have already nearly reached twenty!

This number could rival the Blazing Flame Clan at its very peak.

Moreover, aside from these complete Fate Altars, Su Lin had also seized many Destiny Altar Fragments, only he planned to fuse these fragments with his own Fate Altar, as well as those of the Merciful National Master and the Ancient Giant Turtle.

Because producing several Three-Stripe Destiny Altars would be far better than condensing several ordinary Fate Altars.

In addition, Su Lin also intended to, within these several million years, completely digest the Heavy Weapons, Essence of Flesh and Blood, soul bone, and Preliminary Dao Heart he had seized from the Heaven-Burning Golden Falcon and the Heavenly Fate Second Divine General.

Because after several million years, Su Lin was going to strike upward from below, to clash head-on with that newly-ascended Giant, the Black One Heavenly Lord!

......

And just as Su Lin began to digest the resources gained from this Star Road,

outside the nebula layer in the direction of Shou Shou, a blood-soaked figure was heading toward the Blazing Nebula.

This figure was none other than the Master of Jin Huang.

Only, when he first walked out of the Blazing Nebula, how glorious had he been, bearing the hopes of the entire Jinhui System and the two branches of the Golden Clan.

At his side he had brought no fewer than eight thousand Heavenly Venerate Level Followers.

Yet now, not a single one followed him back.

Even he himself had not tempered his Dao Heart to be more luminous and transparent; on the contrary, that Golden Dao Heart of his had already developed crack after crack.

"I’m back."

At this moment, the Master of Jin Huang’s eyes, long since dulled of sharpness and filled with vicissitudes, gazed at this ancient Star Nebula he had resided in for dozens of Eras, and his feet seemed unable to move.

Because in this instant, he was somewhat afraid.

He feared that his own wretched appearance would betray the expectations of the two Gold Element branches that had come to aid him, and of the Jinhui System’s military power he had personally nurtured.

Not only had he failed to draw in any support, even the Sword in his hand had already broken,

this Sword had followed him through three lifetimes of bloody battle, yet never had he expected that in merely tens of millions of years it would break in the core of the Orion Star Group,

and breaking along with it were his former pride, his confidence, and his sharp edge.

He had lost!

He had lost utterly upon the Orion Star Group, lost like a mangy cur that could not afford to lose.

To this day he still remembered that look in Jin Zhen’s eyes, as if gazing upon a piece of trash, upon a defeated house dog.

"Hahaha! Hahaha! Why! Why did I have to lose my mind and go to the front lines to temper myself? They were indeed right; I’m nothing more than a dog king that clawed his way up from some small backwater—how could I have the gall to go to those places where true mighty heroes and peerless prodigies vie for supremacy?
