A World Worth Protecting

At the same time, the scene of Wang Baole slaying the two Ancient Corpses who had perfected Foundation Establishment realm cultivations created a commotion within the other Dao Colleges. Of them, White Deer Dao College remained silent, while the Sect Lords of the Holy River Dao College and White Deer Branch College looked on curiously—with a gut feeling that if Wang Baole’s power continued to grow at such a rate—there could perhaps be a transformation in the future workings of the four Dao Colleges!

<em>If this chap were to reach Core Formation realm…</em> As the four Dao Colleges remained surprised, other factions of the Federation were experiencing the same feelings too. The people from the Galactic Dusk Sect all gnarled their teeth, as the one they hated the most was indeed Wang Baole. However, there was nothing they could do as their Sect Lord had been meted the punishment of eternal incarceration for the incident on the Moon. They had no choice but to lay low, especially as their sects’ powers had weakened significantly.

The major figures from the Plume Manifestation Connate Sect and Five Generation Sky Clan were now focusing all their attention on Wang Baole. In reality, Wang Baole had already become a prominent figure since the moon incident. But, he had just been a beginner at the Foundation Establishment realm whose future was still uncertain. Now, the tables had turned…

As an early-stage Foundation Establishment realm cultivator, he could already kill countless other Foundation Establishment realm cultivators. When he advanced to mid-stage Foundation Establishment realm, his abilities underwent a boost yet again, and he killed cultivators who had a perfect Foundation Establishment realm cultivation. This was significant in the eyes of everyone, since cultivators who had perfect Foundation Establishment realm cultivation made up the core of the Federation. After all, there weren’t many Core Formation realm cultivators, and they were extremely important and couldn’t be deployed for trivial purposes. Therefore, the people who were supporting the day-to-day operations of the various factions were disciples who didn’t have a perfect Foundation Establishment realm cultivation.

However, Wang Baole showed that he could actually kill cultivators who had perfect Foundation Establishment realm cultivation. His combat capabilities alone were sufficient to make everyone overwhelmed and cause them to take him seriously. Even though there was no lack of capable Core Formation realm cultivators in those factions, the mood was still solemn. This was because they knew clearly that, right now, Wang Baole could be considered a talent, though not a divine being.

However, if Wang Baole emerged victorious this time around and became the mayor of the New Mars Region—who was fully in charge of the establishment of the Divine Armament project, or even a Primary Rank Four Noble—he would then become divine. To a certain extent, he would have joined the queue to become one of the future successors of the high officials of the Federation!

The reason why someone like Li Wan’er could suppress Zhuo Yixian and be seen as a nuisance to the Zhuo family lay not just in her family background. More important was Li Wan’er’s position and her own capabilities, neither of which could be disregarded!

As the various factions, including even the Trilunaris Corporation, reveled in shock, a look of bewilderment appeared in Jin Duoming’s eyes. Within the New Mars Region, Wang Baole didn’t care about the ferocious beasts escaping in all directions at all. He was instead dragging half of the Ancient Corpse under the watchful eyes of millions as he made his way back to his base step by step.

Along the way, none of the ferocious beasts dared to go near him. When Wang Baole returned to his base and reached the main gate, he threw that half of the Ancient Corpse to the side, together with the skull.

It was to act as deterrence!

Thereafter, Wang Baole entered his base. The moment he was inside, he hurriedly sat down, quickly taking out bags of snacks and munching on them, his face pale.

<em>I’m so hungry I’m about to faint! Why does unleashing all my physical strength make me so hungry… Or is it because of the recovery…</em> Wang Baole didn’t think much about it as he ate hungrily. However, the more he ate, the hungrier he became, and that drove him crazy. The arrogant and imposing front that he had presented had completely vanished in the face of his extreme hunger…

In the end, even after eating an astonishing amount, Wang Baole was only barely satiated. He raised his head to look at the donkey galloping towards him from afar. In the past, when he looked at the donkey, he only felt annoyed and irritated.

However, it seemed to be different right now.

<em>Its fur is very shiny, which means that it has quite a lot of fat. Its limbs are very well developed as well, and its shank looks to be of good quality. If I were to barbecue it together with its fat, it would definitely taste great… There are also four hoofs that I could boil soup with… The donkey’s ears are edible as well, and its head… it’s also filled with meat…</em> Upon seeing the donkey, these thoughts arose uncontrollably in Wang Baole’s mind, and he quickly sized the donkey up.

However, Wang Baole’s gaze instantly made the donkey freeze in shock, its eyes revealing how frightened it was. It quickly retreated in fear, as if it had sensed an indescribable feeling that something sinister was about to happen. It was already extremely cautious and didn’t let any ferocious beasts barge in. After all, Wang Baole had attracted almost the entire Beast Tide previously. Even if there were a few lone ferocious beasts that came near, the donkey was almost at Foundation Establishment stage itself, and its speed wasn’t far behind Wang Baole’s. With a little effort, the donkey had managed to control the situation.

Therefore, upon noticing Wang Baole’s return, the donkey had wanted to go to him for a reward for its hard work. After seeing Wang Baole taking out his snacks, it grew more agitated as it picked up speed. However, at that moment, Wang Baole’s gaze made it tremble with fear as it hurriedly retreated back to the city walls, sneering as a show of how ferocious it was. However, it still felt insufficient, as it nervously ran, picking up seven half-eaten ferocious beast corpses and placing them in Wang Baole’s line of sight.

Its idea was simple. It wanted to show how ferocious it was and to convey the message that it had been obedient in preventing the entry of the seven ferocious beasts. However, after realizing that Wang Baole’s gaze remained the same, the donkey was so nervous that it was on the brink of tears as it gritted its teeth, dashing out of the base while screaming.

Wang Baole was taken aback, thinking that the donkey had grown its wit and guessed his intention. Therefore, he raised his head and looked towards the donkey. He immediately saw the donkey barging into the crowd of beasts, biting every single beast it saw. It looked vicious, impressive, and extremely capable, and even turned its head to look at Wang Baole occasionally.

That scene was also watched by the live stream viewers from the Federation. They all turned from a state of shock to a state of bewilderment as they watched in a blur. At that moment, they all felt that the person they were looking at was the Wang Baole they were familiar with.

At the same time, they empathized with the donkey’s actions…

“My heart aches for the little donkey…”

“I bet that, in less than three years, the donkey would be killed and eaten by Wang Baole!”

As the crowd discussed amongst themselves, Wang Baole continued munching on his snacks before satisfyingly patting his stomach. He then commanded the donkey, who was weaving within the beasts to go over to him.

“Come back now. Don’t think that I’m unaware that you’re trying to get in their good books by telling them that you’re one of them.”

The donkey’s ears stood upright. When it heard Wang Baole’s command, it was shocked as it felt a little guilty. It also felt that Wang Baole was an extremely unpredictable person. Therefore, it gave up on the thought of escaping. After noticing that Wang Baole seemed to have satiated his hunger, it hurriedly ran back.

On the battleground right now, two distinct scenarios were playing out. On Wang Baole’s side, there was almost no Beast Tide, while in the other zones, ferocious beasts were overflowing. Even though they copied Wang Baole and slew the Ancient Corpses, none of them could do it alone. A few of them had to work with each other. With Wang Baole having made the first attack, the ferocious beasts, though still shocked, were clearly more afraid of Wang Baole.

However, the fourth Beast Tide still passed eventually. The consequences were huge, and with the exception of Wang Baole, none of the remaining seven candidates could withstand the impact. As the Beast Tide subsided, they were also sent away and eliminated.

At the instant the Beast Tide dissipated, Wang Baole quickly took action, releasing thousands of puppets as they charged towards the zones left behind by those eliminated. In reality, he had been eyeing those zones for a long time, and under his command, the thousands of puppets went forward like lunatics and began dismantling and moving the items.

The other factions didn’t stand and watch either as they also took action, snatching the items. After all, after experiencing the battle, they were all tired, having exhausted many of their human resources, which made them lose out compared to the thousands of professional puppets. Therefore, with everyone snatching the items, Wang Baole still managed to obtain the majority of the share.

After bringing the resources back, a look of anticipation appeared in Wang Baole’s eyes as he once again began the process of constructing his perfect Eternal Fortress according to his blueprint. Very quickly, with the ample resources that he had obtained, his base had become a huge rectangular block when seen from afar!

This block enveloped Wang Baole’s base, such that outsiders couldn’t see its interior. They could only see the golden exterior of the structure made by different pieces of material. They were like a colorful collage and were made of good quality materials, which made them extremely sturdy.

At the same time, within the huge block, sounds of construction emerged continuously, which piqued the curiosity of the live stream viewers from the Federation.

“What is it that Wang Baole is trying to construct?”

“I understand now. Each successive round of this assessment is tougher than the last. It’s too difficult to persevere until the end. It is likely that the final assessment would no longer test the cultivators and their combat capabilities, but the quality and power of the bases they have each constructed!”
