Being stripped of one’s office was already a serious punishment. To be blacklisted by the Martian administration from future positions on the planet was a more serious punishment. It showed the Governor’s firm stance and attitude towards the matter.

It was clear that she was displaying her displeasure. This was also a stern warning to the four Dao Colleges as well as the other political forces. If they wanted to stay on Mars, they would have to play by her rules!

They were to quit playing dirty tricks and carrying out underhanded activities. In fact, in her opinion, Li Yi had it coming!

She was of the view that Wang Baole needed more monitoring. However, he was still the mayor she had appointed and recognized. To have vice mayors representing the other political forces entering the picture and creating all sorts of trouble was something that displeased her tremendously.

Especially… when Wang Baole, the kid, was so brave and responsible. He had gone ahead and led a rescue fearlessly when Kong Dao had gotten into danger. Li Yi, on the other hand, had been a coward afraid of death, who had continued fixating on wrestling power from Wang Baole during such critical times. That had made the Governor see her in a worse light.

The four Dao Colleges had remained silent in the face of Li Yi’s punishment. The White Deer Dao College had been resigned. They were frustrated, but everything had been decided. Despite them wishing to resolve the matter more amicably, the Federation had approved the Governor’s orders instantly. The swiftness of their response spoke volumes about the Federation’s attitude towards this matter.

The White Deer Dao College had only one option before them. It was… to support Wang Baole. Else, the White Deer Dao College would be kicked out of the contest for power, and the Ethereal Dao College would naturally rise in power, becoming the primary authority speaking for the four Dao Colleges in the New Mars Region.

After sighing in resignation, those of the White Deer Dao College discussed amongst themselves and eventually contacted the Ethereal Dao College. They carried out a series of communications and negotiations, finally reaching a consensus to support Wang Baole fully!

Their support was immediately seen in the attitudes of those in the new city zone who belonged to the four Dao Colleges. They complied to Wang Baole’s every order. At the same time, the Ethereal Dao College, which had been prevented from sending more of their people to the new city zone, was finally able to send a great number of their disciples over to support Wang Baole.

Wang Baole didn’t hesitate to designate the Ethereal Dao College disciples as the heads of various departments in the new city zone’s administration. A round of eliminations and replacements was carried out rapidly.

This applied to both Jin Duoming and Kong Dao as well. They split the various positions which had been vacated after Li Yi’s departure. Lin Tianhao was tempted to do the same. However, after some discussion with his father, Lin You, he decided not to arrange for more of his people to come over to the new city zone. He was to isolate himself and instead fully bind his fate with Wang Baole, as his follower.

No one cared about Li Yi at this point. Even though Wang Baole sometimes still missed her alluring figure, he spent more time lamenting over how brainless Li Yi had been.

The other person who often thought of Li Yi was Jin Duoming. He knew that this was his best chance to get Li Yi to yield to him. He was confident that he would be saving her in her dire moment. He only needed to provide some help to get her to surrender to him. However, he only smiled lightly at the thought.

It’s time to switch targets. Li Yi no longer has anything that appeals to me. I think… Li Xiu’s sister, Li Wan’er, should prove to be quite a challenge. Even though she almost castrated me in the past, but the more extreme her attitude is, the more motivated I become!

After most of the positions in the new city zone were filled, the White Deer Dao College contributed resources independently to repair the western zone. This was to smoothen the tensions between Wang Baole and the Martian administration. A gigantic glowing shield appeared over the newly constructed western zone, sealing the new catacombs. It would be activated from time to time to wear down the power of the catacombs.

Time passed steadily. A month later, a hundred million people moved to the city zone. Numerous large cruisers arrived, and the new arrivals settled down in the new city zone. They joined the various departments and started both their work and lives in the New Mars Region.

The Trilunaris Corporation expended tremendous effort in the entire endeavor. They set up branches for most of their major businesses in the new city zone, resolving the issue of reemployment for most of the new residents. The other political forces also started doing their part, and the new city zone started to slowly take off.

The increase in the population led to the growing strengthening of the new city zone’s array formation. It became more powerful. The control it had over the catacombs, and the rate of erosion of the wall, started to stabilize, resulting in a stable cycle.

The New Mars Region had finally been established. It had both the structure and scale befitting a city zone. Wang Baole could finally feel the authority and power he was to have as a mayor.

In the new city zone, his one decision could decide the fate of countless people. Countless discerning people would read and study every one of his gazes carefully.

This made Wang Baole overjoyed, and he basked in happiness. Most of his subordinates knew his love for snacks, and soon, the retail industry for snacks expanded and prospered in the new city zone… The reception towards the donkey also changed because of Wang Baole’s status.

Regardless of where it went and what it ate, no one tried to stop it. In fact, they were worried that it might not eat its fill…

No one knew who had started the trend, but increasingly, more people started rearing donkeys. Almost all of those pet donkeys were female donkeys… the donkey was increasingly seen as a valuable asset. It enjoyed an elevated status, and many in the Federation were interested in the donkey.

It was clear that they wouldn’t be able to get their hands on the donkey, though. As a result, they began to come up with other ideas. That resulted in the prevalence of female donkeys. The donkey was overjoyed. However, it was still very devoted and loyal. Kong Dao protected his own White Phoenix religiously, though, and seldom allowed it to leave the house. The donkey found this unfortunate.

Heaven rewarded the donkey that waited, though. It could always find opportunities… as a result, as long as one saw a raging Kong Dao in pursuit of the donkey with his men, they immediately knew that the donkey had once again done the unspeakable to Kong Dao’s White Phoenix.

Wang Baole could only express his exasperation. Despite giving the donkey a good thrashing numerous times, and regardless of how badly he had beaten the donkey up, it would recover the next day and continue its brazen ways. Wang Baole finally decided to ignore it altogether and focus on his cultivation. His communications with the Sect Lord of the Ethereal Dao College and Zhao Yameng regarding the array formation grew more frequent.

Three months passed. The new city zone began to grow prosperous. It was then that, due to Zhao Yameng’s hard work and the support of the Ethereal Dao College’s Array Runes Pavilion, finally… she was able to successfully convert the simplified Qi Devouring Art into an array formation!

The name had been thought of by Zhao Yameng. It was called Trees Hath Branches.

Wang Baole didn’t think it sounded nice at all. He thought that even if Zhao Yameng started chasing after him on a flying sword, they would still be leagues apart when it came to naming things. He decided to change the name to the Great Baole Array Formation.

“How’s that? The name that I came up with is quite good, right? Yameng, it’s not that I want to brag, but you’re really not that good at coming up with names,” Wang Baole said, pleased with himself.

Zhao Yameng was silent on the other end of the voice transmission ring. Then, she hung up.

Is she embarrassed? Angry? Wang Baole blinked. He realized he shouldn’t have spoken that way when she had helped him. He thought about how to go about bragging about himself in a tactful manner the next time they spoke.

Wang Baole made up his mind. Then, he tried to control his excitement. As soon as he got ahold of the array formation, he immediately set up a mini-version of the Great Baole Array Formation in secret to verify its effectiveness.

He found people to set up the array formation in his residence. After sending them away, when he was finally alone, Wang Baole immediately sat down and crossed his legs. He activated the array formation. As his cultivation started churning and the array formation started its activation, an undeniable suction force started spreading towards the earth. It had a clear effect on the Dark Qi inside the Divine Armament Catacombs. Wang Baole was instantly overjoyed.

With this array formation, my Primary Rank Three Noble is within grasp! Wang Baole laughed out loud. He got to his feet hastily. He started pacing in his residence, the gears in his head spinning furiously.

This is a good thing for everyone in the new city zone… that’s why I should rope them all in. With everyone working together, we can turn the new city zone into a city! At that thought, Wang Baole made up his mind. He immediately called for Lin Tianhao, Kong Dao, as well as Jin Duoming.

The three appeared in Wang Baole’s office after receiving his notice. Before they could speak, they saw Wang Baole’s stern look and the excitement that he couldn’t conceal in his eyes. He spoke hurriedly.

“Brothers, I have an extremely rare and fortuitous opportunity that I’m going to give you all. It can bring you a promotion to the next level of Noble. Do you want to take it?”
