"I understand now. If you analyze it this way, Kim Do-myung is the same. I only want to be friends with him. After all, there is no conflict between us!" Wang Baole spoke immediately. His voice was transmitted to Lin You through the voice transmission ring. Lin You picked up his teacup and took a sip, smiling slightly.
"That's right. You should know that the Three Moon Group is actually in a very awkward situation. Firstly, it has too many internal branches. Kim Do-myung isn't the only one who has the right to compete in the future! Therefore, there will definitely be a tense situation in the future.
"Even if Fellow Daoist Jin of the Three Moon Group acknowledges Kim Do-myung, the injuries he sustained during the Direbeast War are still lingering. It can be said that … there is no possibility of him breaking through the Core Formation realm and stepping into the Yuanying realm. Therefore, the Three Moon Group can only be tightly bound to the Federation.
"After all, with such a juicy piece of meat out there, the Federation still has to pay attention to its image compared to the other organizations. Why else do you think the Trilunaris Corporation would spend so much effort to help you build the New Mars Region? On one hand, it is to remind you of this. On the other hand, it is to express goodwill to Mars and also to the Federation!
"Fellow Daoist Jin is a businessman. He is different from us …" Lin You's words contained his understanding and analysis of the various forces. It could be said that the value of these words was immeasurable. In the entire Federation, the only people who were qualified to understand and analyze the situation as he did were those who were of the same status as he was.
In this way, this conversation was indeed a sincere one. There was nothing hidden. He was completely standing on Wang Baole's side and helping him think about the future.
When Wang Baole heard this, he took a deep breath. There was a strange light in his eyes. He thought of the agreement he had made with Kim Do-myung. That sentence … the Three Moon Group represented by Kim Do-myung.
Now that he thought about it, these words had a profound meaning.
"However, we mustn't underestimate the Three Moon Group. Although Fellow Daoist Jin doesn't have the possibility of a breakthrough, and once someone from the other branches under her breaks through, the situation will change. However … Fellow Daoist Jin has taken an ingenious approach and worked together with the Federation to develop the so-called Anti-Spirit Bomb. In theory, once it succeeds, its power will be so great that even the Yuanying wouldn't be able to do anything about it … Moreover, even though the various factions have tried their best to investigate this matter, there hasn't been much information. There are even rumors that this Anti-Spirit Bomb has already succeeded several times …"
"It's enough for you to understand these things on your own. You just need to remember that Kim Do-myung's identity means that he has no interest in politics. What he needs is not friends, but … allies!" Lin You spoke earnestly. After he was done speaking, he seemed to hear Wang Baole's breathing quicken again from the voice transmission ring. He put down his teacup, and there was a look of appreciation in his eyes that Wang Baole couldn't see. After some thought, he spoke softly.
After thinking for a while, he said softly, "Baole, do you feel that the waters of the Federation are very deep?"
Wang Baole raised his head and looked at the transmission ring. After a moment of silence, he nodded.
Even though he didn't see Wang Baole nod, Lin You could imagine it. Therefore, he lowered his voice even more.
"No matter how clear the lake is, when you sink into it, you will feel that the lake is very deep and very big. You can't see through it, as if it hides countless secrets …"
"However, when you leave the lake and stand by the lakeside and look down, you will realize that the lake is so clear that you can see the bottom with a single glance."
"Why is that? You have the answer. Because you are in the lake, you can't see it. This doesn't mean that you have to leave the lake, but one day, instead of standing by the lakeside, you will realize that the lake is not only so clear that you can see the bottom, but at the same time … it is only the size of a palm … "
"If you look even further away, you will see the ocean that is even more majestic than the lakeside. If you look even higher, you will also see the universe that is even more astonishing than the world you are in!"
"There are some things that I can't say clearly … Baole, we humans … are just a drop in the ocean." Lin You seemed to want to say more, but for some reason, he chose to remain silent. Only a sigh, as if he couldn't control his own fate, ended the conversation.
After the two of them ended the transmission, the sigh seemed to reverberate in Wang Baole's ears and mind. As he gradually fell silent, he thought about it carefully.
"A drop in the ocean …" After a long while, Wang Baole raised his head and looked at the starry sky outside the window. After a long while, he closed his eyes. He wasn't someone who bit off more than he could chew. He knew clearly that he would deal with the future in the future. Right now, he only had the New Mars Region in front of him.
With this thought in mind, Wang Baole made his preparations. In the blink of an eye, the day of departure that the Martian Colony Governor had mentioned arrived.
Before the departure, the candidates for the vice mayors of the New Mars Region had been successfully approved by the Martian Colony Governor after Wang Baole submitted them. They were Li Yi, Kongdao, Kim Do-myung, and Lin Tianhao.
Among the four of them, only Lin Tianhao would depart with Wang Baole. The other three would arrive one after the other. The reason for this was that they still needed time to prepare the resources that their respective organizations had promised them. One of the requirements that Wang Baole had for the three vice mayors was that they had to bring the resources with them to take up their posts.
As such, regardless of how indignant and aggrieved Li Yi and Kongdao were, they had no choice but to swallow their grievances. However, Kim Do-myung didn't have any objections to this. After all, it didn't matter to him whether he went or not. Moreover, the New Mars Region was a wasteland. It would be boring to go there.
In reality, in this competition for the vice mayors' positions, Li Yi and Kongdao weren't hindered by other organizations. However, Kim Do-myung had almost failed. Even though the Three Moon Group had been willing to fork out 50% of their resources, it had still been a close call.
The Galactic Dusk Sect and the Five Generation Sky Clan had been eyeing the vice mayors' positions covetously. In the end, the Galactic Dusk Sect had been rejected by the Martian Colony Governor due to their conflict with Wang Baole. On the other hand, the Five Generation Sky Clan had fulfilled all the conditions that they had offered. In some ways, they had paid a higher price than the Three Moon Group.
However, in the end … they had still failed.
Wang Baole had heard about this as well. It seemed that at the critical moment, the Head Senator of the Senate had spoken. Hence, the Five Generation Sky Clan's Zhuo family had no choice but to bow down. At the same time, Zhuo Yixian had also been transferred away from Mars. He had been kicked out of the New Mars Region's pie distribution.
Outsiders saw this as an internal struggle between the various organizations. However, after giving it some thought, Wang Baole vaguely felt that Zhuo Yixian's suicidal attempt to investigate the night he had spent with Li Waner was probably one of the reasons.
"There's no helping it. He was the one who dug his own grave and insisted on investigating …" Wang Baole was rather pleased. He had a playful expression on his face as he ignored the matter.
Just like that, as the day of departure approached, Wang Baole and Lin Tianhao took up their positions. Under the gazes of the Martian Colony Governor and the Martian upper echelons, a total of five hundred huge cruisers slowly rose into the air from the Huoxing City's spaceport.
Out of the five hundred cruisers, three hundred of them housed the one hundred thousand people who were in charge of building the New Mars Region and obeyed Wang Baole's orders. As for the other two hundred cruisers, they were all loaded with resources provided by the Federation and the Martian Colony.
As the rumbling sounds reverberated in the air, Wang Baole stood on the first cruiser with Lin Tianhao beside him. The two of them lowered their heads and looked at the ground, then at the Huoxing City. Then, they raised their heads and looked in the direction of the New Mars Region. A sense of lofty aspiration surged in Wang Baole's heart.
"Tianhao, pass down the order. Full speed ahead. Set off!" At Wang Baole's command, Lin Tianhao took a deep breath and immediately acknowledged. Very soon, the five hundred cruisers exploded with a roar and sped off.
From afar, it looked as if five hundred rainbows were streaking across the sky, heading straight into the distance …
Several hours later, when the five hundred cruisers arrived at the Divine Armament Region, the mess that had once been there had already disappeared. Only the donkey was lying there lazily with a hint of smugness. As for its cultivation level, it had actually achieved a breakthrough in the past few days while cleaning up the trash and appeared to have attained the great perfection of the True Breath realm.
Wang Baole didn't bother with the donkey. As the cruiser landed, Wang Baole issued orders. The initial blueprints for the Eternal Fortress were distributed immediately, with the exception of the core components. A hundred thousand people immediately began construction.
During the construction, Wang Baole's puppets were also mobilized. Every puppet would follow Wang Baole's wishes and participate as the main builders.
