While Wang Baole was on his way back to Mars, the various media outlets of the Federation were still celebrating the breakthrough of Ethereal Dao College's Grand Supreme Elder, Li Xingwen. Cheers and laughter filled the entire Federation.
At the same time, very few people knew that the President of the Federation, Duan Muque, had also chosen to go into seclusion four days after Li Xingwen's breakthrough. At the same time, the entire capital city had activated its defenses to prevent any accidents from happening. Although Li Xingwen was in Ethereal Dao College, he was still paying attention to the capital city. If there were any disturbances, he would immediately head over to stand guard for Duan Muque.
After all, if Duan Muque could also break through, it would mean that the Federation had truly stepped into the Yuanying era. At the same time, most importantly, if the two of them could break through one after another, it would mean that the others … were not without hope.
For example … the Head Senator, the Martian Colony Governor, the Grand Supreme Elders of the other three Dao Colleges, the Galactic Dusk Sect, the Plume Manifestation Connate Sect, and even the Five Generation Sky Clan!
After all, Duan Muque was considered a second-generation Grand Supreme Elder. Li Xingwen, on the other hand, had experienced the changes in heaven and earth and experienced the catastrophe of the ferocious beasts. It could be said that he was from the older generation who had fought his way out of the apocalypse. Be it in terms of intelligence or talent, he was considered a prodigy of his generation!
Such people shouldn't be trapped in the Core Formation realm!
Therefore, there were actually some people who were in seclusion like Duan Muque, who were yearning to break through to the Yuanying realm!
However … this step was extremely difficult. Not only did it require time, but it also required a fortuitous encounter. Although the era of cultivation had begun, and anyone who reached the pinnacle was bound to have their own fortuitous encounter … there were also differences in fortuitous encounters.
However, these weren't things that Wang Baole cared about. At that moment, after the cruiser returned to Mars, he immediately rushed back to the special regional city. When he stepped into the territory of the special regional city, he vaguely established a connection with the Dark Artifact underground. After confirming that everything was fine, Wang Baole heaved a sigh of relief.
After that, he started to fret. Although the Dark Artifact was powerful, it was too damaged. If he couldn't repair it and couldn't take it out, Wang Baole felt as if someone had taken a picture of him after he had lost weight and placed it in front of him. He could see it and feel it, but he couldn't lose weight!!
This made Wang Baole sigh in his heart. During his absence, there weren't any major events in the special regional city. Li Waner was still in seclusion. As for Lin Tianhao and the others, they had their own assignments. Every month, there would be one person on duty to manage the special regional city. The others seemed to have been inspired by Li Xingwen's breakthrough. After witnessing Wang Baole's breakthrough, they also started to cultivate in seclusion.
It seemed that all the cultivators in the Federation were inspired by Li Xingwen's breakthrough, and an even stronger cultivation craze erupted.
Therefore, after returning to Mars, Wang Baole thought for a while and decided to practice his Dark Art. However, just as he was about to enter the catacombs to practice, the Federation suddenly announced something while everyone was celebrating, and the cultivation craze was spreading!
They were going to rebuild Mercury!!
After experiencing that calamity, Mercury was already in ruins. Even the entire planet was close to withering. Its vitality was greatly damaged, and it was dim and lightless. Regarding this, when the Federation proposed this matter at a time when the citizens' enthusiasm was running high, it immediately received a great deal of support.
At the same time, this announcement was like a signal that immediately shook the hearts of all the leaders of the various factions in the Federation. Without a doubt, with the information they had, they saw the truth that ordinary people didn't know about when they looked at the rebuilding of Mercury!
"The Mercury teleportation portal … is going to start construction for real." This was the first thought that came to the minds of almost all the leaders of the various factions when they saw the Federation announce the rebuilding of Mercury.
In reality, this was indeed the case. On the second day after the announcement, Wang Baole immediately received a voice transmission from the Martian Colony Governor. In this voice transmission, the Martian Colony Governor gave him a large number of blueprints and asked him to manufacture all the components described in the blueprints within a specified time.
Furthermore, Mars would provide all the resources needed to manufacture these components!
This made Wang Baole's heart tremble. He felt as if a storm was brewing. Then, he thought about the words of the Grand Supreme Elder and the Sect Leader, and took a look at the Federation's announcement of the rebuilding of Mercury. He already had a guess in his heart, so he immediately asked the Martian Colony Governor.
The Martian Colony Governor was silent for a moment, as if she was weighing whether she should inform him or not. After a long while, she took a deep breath. The Great Martian Array suddenly began to operate at full power. No one knew how she did it, but the voice transmission between the two of them seemed to be encrypted. After eliminating the risk of being eavesdropped, she slowly opened her mouth.
"You should know that the Federation has announced the rebuilding of Mercury. However … this is only on the surface. The real purpose of rebuilding Mercury is to build a gigantic teleportation portal there!
"This teleportation portal has actually been under construction since a long time ago. However, it lacked a lot of materials, and the time wasn't right. Therefore, it took a long time. Furthermore, after the catastrophe, all that was left was a wreckage.
"However, now … the time is almost here. Therefore, the Federation has also sped up the process. They intend to really build this teleportation portal that leads to … the ancient greenish-bronze sword!
"Therefore, it's not just you. In fact, all the Dharmic Armament masters in the Federation have received their own missions to manufacture components. These components will eventually be gathered together to form … the teleportation portal!"
After hearing the Martian Colony Governor's words, Wang Baole's expression turned serious. Thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind.
"The Federation's Hundred Seedlings Initiative?"
"There are some things that you are allowed to know with your authority. However, we have to be very careful about how we tell you. We can't tell you directly on Earth … Of course, this might be making a mountain out of a molehill, or we might be measuring the stature of a gentleman with our own yardstick. However, no one dares to take the risk. After all, this isn't just a matter of one person. This is a life and death adventure for the entire Federation, the entire civilization, and the entire human race!" The Martian Colony Governor didn't answer his question. However, this answer also explained why both the Grand Supreme Elder and the Sect Leader had been so vague when Wang Baole was in the Ethereal Dao College.
However, the more this was the case, the more curious Wang Baole's eyes became. He didn't speak but waited for the Martian Colony Governor to tell him more.
The Martian Colony Governor seemed to be very satisfied with Wang Baole's steadiness in the face of such a major event. After a moment of silence, she instinctively lowered her voice and spoke slowly.
"Baole, what I'm about to tell you is a top secret that can only be disclosed to the public within the Federation if 90% of the Primary Secondary Rank One Nobles agree …
"More than forty years ago, there was a drastic change in the cosmos. A humongous ancient greenish-bronze sword entered the Solar System. Just its suppressive force alone caused the cosmos to tremble. In the end, the sword pierced the sun, revealing a small portion of its tip!
"More than half of the sword's hilt shattered and landed in the Solar System. That was how the Spirit Inception Era began. All of the Federation's energy sources lost their effectiveness, and a cultivation civilization emerged. However, in reality … this ancient greenish-bronze sword came from an extraterrestrial cultivation civilization. Their level of civilization is much, much higher than ours. Even this sword … is merely a sect of that civilization!
"In other words, this is an ark that they escaped from. However, they met with an accident along the way, and that's how they landed in the Solar System!
"There are still people alive on that ancient sword, and there are quite a few of them!" Wang Baole's breathing quickened when the Martian Colony Governor reached this point. However, he wasn't surprised. He took a deep breath and waited for the Martian Colony Governor to continue.
"According to the information we have, the sect of this ancient greenish-bronze sword is called … the Vast Expanse Dao Palace!
"The Vast Expanse Dao Palace has been damaged due to this drastic change. Furthermore, it has been divided into three factions under the leadership of three powerful individuals with different intentions!
"One of the factions is known as the Darkness Faction. This faction wants to leave this place and head to their original destination according to their sect's original plan. However, due to the severe damage to the ancient sword, they want to plunder all of the resources in the Solar System to repair the sword and achieve their goal!
"Once they take over, the Federation is bound to face a calamity. You can imagine the loss of all the stellar sources in the Solar System and the depletion of the sun's energy. The entire Solar System will become a wasteland. As for us, the most ideal outcome is to become the slaves of this sect!
