A World Worth Protecting

ouring seed churned.

It was the devouring seed all along! Wang Baole perked up.
He stopped the churning of his devouring seed before turning and leaving hastily.
He soon exited the catacombs and sealed it shut.
Wang Baole returned to his residence.
He wasn’t in the mood for meditation.
Instead, he started pacing in his residence.

This is an opportunity…

Let me think, how should I play this so that I can fully utilize this opportunity to my maximum benefit…

How should I do this… Wang Baole’s Spirit Qi stirred as countless thoughts flashed across his head.
He seemed to have exhausted himself with the intense thinking, so he pulled out some snacks and started eating while continuing his brainstorming.

Firstly, the Federation will definitely treat something that can increase the rate the wall is eroding with the utmost importance… Even though my individual powers are limited, and I’m not inclined to reveal the existence of my devouring seed, the mystic technique I taught the students in the Dao Mountain Mist Academy should be able to achieve a similar effect…

However, it has to be built on the foundation of the Dark Art… this can be easily done.
I just have to convert the mystic art into an array formation and turn myself into the core of the array formation!

This way, the array formation will be able to amplify the powers of the devouring seed and absorb the Dark Qi inside the catacombs at a furious rate, increasing the speed the wall is eroding! Wang Baole paused in his pacing and slapped his thigh loudly before raising his head.
His eyes shone with excitement and anticipation.
He could hardly contain his emotions.
He had combined everything he had learned from the high officials’ autobiographies and came up with… a solution that was out of this world!

If I’m able to achieve that, I’ll be able to gain complete control.
The array formation… will need more resources and greater space.
That’s why… we need to expand the existing city zone extensively based on the existing infrastructure already in place…

We’ll then be able to set up the Devouring Seed Array Formation on the foundations of the Qi Fostering Spirit Array Formation!

If the Federation approves my proposal, I’ll have the final say on how much we will need to expand the city zone in order to accommodate the array formation.
I can expand the city zone multiple times and turn it into a… new Martian city!

That’s right, that’s how this is going to work.
That’s the opportunity I instinctively sensed.
If the array formation is successfully set up, this will present an opportunity for me to transform a city zone… into an actual city! Wang Baole’s head started buzzing noisily.
There was no doubt that his idea was an extremely bold venture, but if he succeeded… the new city zone would become a fully formed city.
His Noble would naturally be elevated despite there being no chances of it happening previously.
He would no longer be a Primary Rank Four Noble but rise to become a Primary Rank Three Noble!

After all, the Federation wouldn’t allow a mere city zone to possess the structure and scale of an actual city, that would create chaos in the existing administrative system and structure.
Once something like that happened, the city zone would be reclassified as a city!

Wang Baole was the key to building the city.
He would have been the one who submitted the proposal.
He would become irreplaceable, to a certain extent.
What was equally important was also… the urgency the Federation would have in wearing down the wall inside the Divine Armament Catacombs as soon as possible.
As long as his theory was valid and could be implemented successfully, there was a great chance of him being made a Primary Rank Three Noble without much quibbling!

What this means is that the more territory I have, the more powerful I will become! Wang Baole was overcome with excitement.
He realized he was simply too clever.
He actually came up with such a brilliant and crazy idea.
He grabbed a bottle of Ice Spirit Water excitedly and took a huge gulp.
The fire inside him burned brighter.

I won’t share this with anyone at the moment.
As for converting the simplified devouring seed mystic technique into an array formation… Wang Baole considered his options while his heart raced.
Finally, the image of Zhao Yameng and the Ethereal Dao College surfaced in his mind.

I’ll ask Zhao Yameng for help.
At the same time, I’ll get the Sect Lord to provide some assistance as well! At that thought, Wang Baole turned on his voice transmission ring hastily and called Zhao Yameng.

Zhao Yameng was stationed on Earth in the Federation Capital.
Currently, she was sitting inside her office.
A beautiful and dignified young woman, she had earned the adoration of countless male cultivators since she assumed office.
However, her presence inspired shame and guilt in the opposite sex when they stood before her.

Before her stood a rather good-looking young man, he had adoration in his eyes and spoke softly.

“Minister Zhao, our department is holding a party tonight.
Will you…”

Zhao Yameng lifted her head before he could finish saying what he wanted to say.
She gave him a deep, meaningful look.
The young man started to sweat profusely under her gaze.
He grew nervous and awkward, started stuttering, and couldn’t finish his words.
He left silently.

Zhao Yameng lowered her head after he left and resumed reading her documents.
It was then that her voice transmission ring rang.
Wang Baole’s loud voice rang out from the voice transmission ring.

“Yameng, did you miss me? Let’s have a hug that stretches from Earth to Mars, across the vast expanse of space.”
