The Martian Colony Governor seemed to know that what she had just said was extremely shocking to any Federation cultivator. Therefore, she paused for a moment and waited for Wang Baole to digest the information before continuing.
"Following the successful development of the Anti-Spirit Bomb, the teleportation portal was already under construction. However, it was destroyed during the catastrophe of Mercury … Now that Mercury is being rebuilt, the teleportation portal within it will naturally have to be rebuilt as well.
"However … although the Federation has sufficient resources to rebuild the teleportation portal this time, we still need a large number of key components. It will take some time to build them one by one. That is why I gave you the blueprint." After explaining everything, the Martian Colony Governor ended the voice transmission.
If it had been Wang Baole when he had just entered the Federation, he might have been immersed and shocked by the cooperation between the Vast Expanse Dao Palace and the Federation. However, he had already learned to analyze and judge the words of others.
Therefore, after the Martian Colony Governor ended the voice transmission, Wang Baole sat there cross-legged. After pondering for a moment, his eyes suddenly flashed.
"Interesting … The Martian Colony Governor's words gave me the impression that the building of the components was urgent … However, she didn't mention exactly how long the deadline was …"
Wang Baole was deep in thought as he recalled the Martian Colony Governor's words. After pondering for a long time, he could roughly guess the Federation's intentions. They wanted to build the teleportation portal to allow the Federation's civilization to improve and improve by leaps and bounds. However, they were also worried that they would open the Gates of Hell.
However, it was clear that after decades of interaction, they had developed a deep trust in Senior Mo Gaozi. After all, if Mo Gaozi had any ill intentions, he would have been able to forcefully push things through with his cultivation.
It was also because of this that the teleportation portal was on the right track even though it had been bumpy. Wang Baole guessed that the reason there was no deadline was because the Federation was waiting for some trump cards to be completed …
"The Anti-Spirit Bomb is one of the trump cards. The Grand Supreme Elder's breakthrough in cultivation is also a trump card. What other trump cards do they have?" Wang Baole muttered to himself. Since he had never come into contact with Mo Gaozi, he felt that the construction of the teleportation array was a little unsafe.
However, even though he had never interacted with Mo Gaozi, he believed that there were no fools in the upper echelons of the Federation. They were all a bunch of sly old foxes. Just as the Martian Colony Governor had said, too many people in the Federation had already considered his concerns and considerations.
Thinking of this, Wang Baole took a deep breath, buried this matter in the bottom of his heart, and began his seclusion. On one hand, he cultivated his Dark Soul Guidance, and on the other hand, he took some time out every day to build the teleportation parts needed by the Federation.
Just like that, seven days passed. Just as Wang Baole's cultivation and construction were progressing smoothly, an expedition team that belonged to the Federation suddenly arrived and settled in the special zone. After submitting an application to Wang Baole, they entered the catacombs and began their research and investigation on the thickness of the barrier in the catacombs.
Wang Baole couldn't refuse this, but it raised his guard instantly. This was especially so when a second expedition team arrived on Mars three days later. Wang Baole took a deep breath and felt a sense of danger.
"Could it be that the Federation's third trump card is my Dark Artifact?!" Wang Baole was immediately conflicted when he thought of this. Even though he wanted to help the Federation, he knew that if he were to announce his identity as the owner of the Dark Artifact when his cultivation was sufficient, it would be a great thing for both himself and the Federation.
However, if he were to reveal this with his current cultivation, it might not be a big deal for the Federation, but for himself … it was hard to say.
Wang Baole didn't dare to gamble on this matter, and he couldn't gamble on it either. This made him sigh involuntarily. When he thought of his treasure being coveted by so many people every day, and by so many important people at that, he felt guilty.
After all, the Federation seemed determined to get the Dark Artifact. Even if they returned empty-handed this time, it wouldn't be long before there would be another inspection.
Therefore, Wang Baole thought about it for a while. After the research teams left after several days of searching and gathering detailed data, he hurriedly snuck into the Dark Artifact when no one was looking. He gathered the young boy and the other two Artifact Spirits and began asking about the restoration process.
When he found out that it would take about a month to restore ten percent of the Dark Artifact, Wang Baole came out and began to think hard about a plan.
"The remaining barrier should be able to hold on for about half a year before it reaches the point where it can be forcefully blasted open … However, even if the Dark Artifact is mostly restored by then, the Federation won't be able to open it. They will definitely desire this place even more and keep thinking about it. If that's the case … it makes me feel uneasy … Therefore, instead of being watched by the Federation all the time, why don't … I take the initiative to attack!" Wang Baole's eyes flashed. He kept coming up with a plan in his mind.
He was very clear about the difference between taking the initiative and being passive. Instead of worrying about it every day, he might as well take the initiative to open it and prevent any future troubles!
There were two steps to this plan. The first step was to wait for the Dark Artifact to be restored to ten percent before he took the initiative to remove the barrier and lure in the powerful fighters from the various factions of the Federation. After that, he would carry out the second step of the plan inside the Dark Artifact!
After carefully running through this plan in his mind many times, Wang Baole even pinched his throat in his secret room and practiced all sorts of ancient voices. Time passed, and a month passed very quickly. When he received the notification from the Ship Spirit that the Dark Artifact had been restored to ten percent and that he could activate the defenses at any time, Wang Baole's eyes flashed with a strange light.
He took a deep breath and ran through all the steps in his mind again. He immediately arranged for the special region's cultivators to increase the surveillance of the barrier in the underground cavern. At the same time, he secretly controlled the Dark Artifact to speed up the rate at which the barrier was being melted.
Thus, he quickly received the report from the special region's cultivators that he wanted. After receiving the report, Wang Baole immediately sent a voice transmission to the Martian Colony Governor and reported the matter in an excited voice.
His report immediately attracted the attention of the Martian Colony Governor. She even came personally. Wang Baole was nervous, but he didn't let it show on his face. The Martian Colony Governor checked the situation, and after she left, she transmitted the results of her investigation to the Federation.
Just like that, everything happened faster than Wang Baole could have imagined. From the time he reported that the barrier had been melted to the time the Federation was in an uproar, the various factions were excited, and people arrived one after another. The entire process took only half a month.
Although the leaders of the various factions were in seclusion like Duan Muque, the melting of the barrier was a huge matter. Even if they couldn't come personally, they sent their own powerhouses. In an instant, cruisers flew out from various places in the Federation and headed straight for Mars. Even Li Xingwen personally led the team.
Even the Federation mobilized several high priests. In the past half a month, more than half of the Federation's Core Formation realm cultivators had gathered in the special region.
Besides Li Waner, who was still in seclusion, Wang Baole, Lin Tianhao, Kim Do-myung, Kongdao, and the others were also busy. They were in charge of receiving guests and monitoring the final extent of the barrier's melting.
Finally, after gathering all the information, Li Xingwen decided on a plan to blast open the barrier. Before the plan could be launched, Wang Baole looked for Li Xingwen hesitantly.
"Grand Supreme Elder, I've been feeling a little anxious these past few days. Do you think … that the barrier has suddenly melted because someone is controlling it from inside?"
At that moment, Li Xingwen was making the final arrangements. When he heard this, he looked up and glanced at Wang Baole.
"What's there to be afraid of? Who cares if someone is controlling it? We'll know once we blast it open."
Wang Baole felt helpless, but he couldn't help but ask.
"Grandpa Grand Supreme Elder, I'm just worried. What if the owner of the Divine Armament isn't dead and is inside the Divine Armament? If we blast it open …" Wang Baole blinked and looked at Li Xingwen.
Li Xingwen's expression was the same as usual, but when he looked at Wang Baole, there was a meaningful look in his eyes.
Then, he said, "Baole, do you know why I'm the one leading the team this time …"
Wang Baole was stunned and didn't speak. Li Xingwen didn't continue the previous topic. Instead, he lowered his head and looked at the ground. There was a deep light in his eyes as he spoke slowly.
"With such an item buried in front of our own door, we have to determine if it has an owner. We also have to determine if it has any malicious intent or hidden dangers. Especially at such an important time, we can't afford to have any unstable factors … Therefore, in the Mars Experimental Base, a hundred Anti-Spirit Bombs have been adjusted and are ready to be launched at any time … At the same time, the Federation's entire solar system array is ready to go.
"In addition, there are some other preparations. It can be said that … unless the owner of this Dark Artifact has reached a level that we can't fight against, otherwise … even if I want to reason with them, the Federation has reached a consensus that they want this item!"
"Baole, do you understand?" Li Xingwen raised his head and looked deeply at Wang Baole.
