The Federation had a strict division of the size of the cities. For example, the 18 cities on Earth were all called special zones. Only the capital city of Earth and the Martian Colonial City were considered main cities.
Below the special zones were several cities of the same scale. Most of these cities were attached to the special zones. In terms of rank, they were the same as Wang Baole's new city.
However, once the new city was promoted to a special zone, it would be like a complete change of scenery. After all, there were only 18 special zones in the Federation, and all of them were located on Earth.
Therefore, if Wang Baole's new city was promoted to a special zone, it would be of great significance. The Martian Colony Governor would definitely support it. After all, this was an extremely good thing for Mars.
However, for Wang Baole, although this wouldn't be considered a disaster that would destroy his career, it would cause all his previous efforts to go down the drain. Even if he wouldn't be kicked out of Mars, it would be unavoidable for him to become a deputy. After all, his experience and cultivation weren't enough to support him to become a city lord of a special zone.
This was because … according to the Federation's laws, only Secondary Rank Two Nobles could become a city lord of a special zone. Once one became a city lord, they would have the opportunity to be invited to the Senate and become one of its members!
This would completely change one's identity and status. At the same time, the Federation's laws also had strict promotion standards for Secondary Rank Two Nobles. These standards couldn't be changed. Even if one made great contributions, the most one could become was a Primary Rank Three Nobles. To become a Secondary Rank Two Nobles, one had to have a Core Formation level cultivation!
This was a strict requirement!
Wang Baole was only at the Perfected Foundation Establishment level. Therefore, as long as this matter was pushed forward quickly and completed before Wang Baole reached the Core Formation level, the Federation would have to send a Core Formation cultivator to take up the post and become the city lord. As for Wang Baole, although he might not be transferred, it was inevitable that he would become a deputy.
At that time, he would be the Deputy City Lord. Even if his position was higher than Li Waner's, he would at most be at the front of the sequence. In a sense, this was not a demotion, but a demotion!
Moreover, even if everyone understood the cause and effect, they couldn't say anything about it. Even if Wang Baole knew about it, he couldn't do anything about it. This was because from the front, there wasn't anything against Wang Baole. Instead, they were promoting the development of the new city, taking the initiative to send resources to contribute to the Federation and Mars.
Once the scale was established, even the Federation President and the Martian Colony Governor would find it difficult to refuse. And this … was an open conspiracy!
Moreover, the elders of the Five Generation Sky Clan were adept at such matters. They had the other factions in their grasp. Even though they had good relations with Wang Baole, they wouldn't raise any objections to the push to make the Five Generation Sky Clan a special regional city. At most, they wouldn't help each other. In this matter, not helping each other was a tacit agreement.
After all … to the various factions, once the new city was promoted to a special regional city, it would represent a new round of competition and compromise of interests. This was beneficial to all the factions.
Moreover, even if the Five Generation Sky Clan failed, the other factions wouldn't suffer any losses. Therefore, this plan started to spread like a storm. A series of news spread on Earth and in the main Martian city.
These news were all about the importance of the new city to Mars and the Federation. However, Wang Baole wasn't completely ignored. The main focus was on the contributions of the leadership team of the new Martian city.
As the various news spread and fermented in the Federation, Li Waner and the others in the new Martian city could sense the malicious intent behind this matter!
Although they were anxious, they couldn't contact Wang Baole. At that moment, Wang Baole was in seclusion on a mental journey. He wanted to guide the will of the deity and refine his first seventh-grade Dharmic Armament.
He had tried many times to guide the will of the deity. Although he had failed every time, he was very familiar with the process. He had already locked onto the will of the fire tiger and was prepared to guide it.
To ensure his success, Wang Baole had done a lot of research beforehand. He understood that the so-called guide was, in fact, seduction. He just had to find out the preferences of the will of the deity.
After many attempts, he discovered the preferences of the fire tiger. This fellow … was a lecherous tiger. It liked the souls of female tigers … Wang Baole had tried all sorts of methods of seduction and researched information. He had found the answer after locking onto its identity in myths and legends. Therefore, before he went into seclusion, he had asked Lin Tianhao to prepare a large number of beast souls.
Even though the beast souls weren't suitable to be Artifact Spirits and were only comparable to True Breath realm cultivators, the large number of beast souls made them extremely valuable. However, in order to lure the Fire Tiger, Wang Baole couldn't care less about the cost.
"This time, I must succeed!" In his mental journey, Wang Baole, who had brought along a large number of beast souls, easily found the will of the fire tiger in the illusory world. From afar, the will of the fire tiger was like a small sun wandering in a fixed area.
Its majestic appearance and majestic aura made Wang Baole very excited. However, he didn't go any closer. Instead, he quickly threw out the beast soul of a female tiger. Once the beast soul was thrown out, the wandering will of the fire tiger suddenly turned its head and disappeared. When it reappeared, it was beside the beast soul and swallowed it!
Seeing that it was effective, Wang Baole was delighted. He quickly retreated and threw out another beast soul. His heart was filled with anticipation.
"Come on, little darling!"
Under Wang Baole's anticipation, the fire tiger swayed again and swallowed the second beast soul. Just as it was about to leave, Wang Baole had already thrown out the third beast soul as he retreated.
Just like that, he kept retreating and throwing out beast souls. The fire tiger seemed to be foolish and was constantly lured over. It swallowed one beast soul after another until it followed Wang Baole and moved a long distance. It wasn't far from where Wang Baole's main body was in seclusion.
And at the place where he was in seclusion, the megaphone that he had created had already been placed there, waiting for the fire tiger's will to enter.
"This is too easy. I can refine a seventh-grade Dharmic Armament today!" In his excitement, Wang Baole threw out another beast soul. His body swayed and he was about to return to his body while in a fugue state. He wanted the fire tiger's will to notice the Artifact Spirit within his Dharmic Armament and guide it.
But at that moment, after the fire tiger swallowed the beast soul that Wang Baole threw out, it suddenly paused. Its originally listless eyes revealed a hint of pride and mockery for the first time. Then, its body swayed and it didn't continue to follow Wang Baole. Instead, it turned around and left.
This scene made Wang Baole's eyes widen. He immediately became anxious.
"What's going on? It's different from what the books say. Isn't this will just instinct? How can it mock me? I … I was deceived by a remnant will that has been dead for who knows how many years? "
"It … it ate so many of my souls!!" Wang Baole's eyes widened and he immediately became angry. On the one hand, he was pained by his losses. On the other hand, he felt that his intelligence had been insulted. Therefore, in a fit of rage, Wang Baole roared.
"Get back here!!" Right now, Wang Baole was in a fugitive state. In his fury, he was no longer as cautious and cautious as he had been when he was in a fugitive state. It could be said that this was the first time he had unleashed his fury while in a fugitive state. However, as soon as his fury erupted, within his illusory body, three balls of Dark Fire appeared as if his words were to be obeyed!
The Underworld Flame was clearly in his fleshly body, in his eyes. But now, it had strangely appeared while he was in a fugue state. The sudden appearance and eruption of the Underworld Flame caused the illusory world to grow cold. The Flame Tiger, who had been mocking Meng Hao earlier, suddenly began to tremble. For the first time, his eyes were filled with shock and terror. He wanted to retreat, but it was too late. Three balls of Underworld Flame flew out and suppressed him!!
Under the suppression, the fire tiger's will roared, but it was useless. Its body trembled, unable to resist. All of this made Wang Baole a little dumbfounded.
"You can do this?" Wang Baole's emotions surged as he tried to control the Underworld Fire. Instantly, the flames grew larger, and the fire tiger's will screamed miserably. It seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
Wang Baole was in high spirits. He puffed out his chest and pointed at the fire tiger's will.
"I wanted to keep a low profile with you, but since things have turned out this way, I won't. Hurry up and get into my Magical item, or I'll destroy you!" Wang Baole roared. The fire tiger trembled, and a look of resentment and fear appeared in its eyes. It seemed to know that it couldn't escape, so its body flashed and turned into a ray of fire. It instantly entered the quasi-Rank-7 megaphone in Wang Baole's secluded meditation area. It fused with the Artifact Spirit and filled the entire megaphone!
Instantly, the megaphone seemed to be on fire. It turned crimson, and a large number of runes appeared on it. Each rune was incomparably complex, and the entire megaphone's internal and external structure changed at that moment. Very quickly, the might of a seventh-grade Dharmic Armament erupted from within the Dharmic Armament. At the moment it erupted, the image of a crimson tiger appeared outside the megaphone. It lifted its head and roared at the sky. Its might was shocking!
"The information is all a lie. There's no need to seduce it. Directly suppressing it is the best way!" In his excitement, Wang Baole ended his reverie. When he returned to his body, his eyes suddenly opened. He looked at the crimson megaphone in front of him and felt the pressure from it that was even stronger than the battle saber that had exploded previously. He couldn't help but laugh proudly.
"I am indeed the Son of Destiny!"
