364 The Divine Armament Wall (2/2)

During his trip back earlier, he had received a voice transmission from the Governor herself. She had informed him to quickly hand over the responsibilities he had on hand within the next few days. She had provided him with some recommendations for potential successors to take over his position as dean at the Dao Mountain Mist Academy.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Wang Baole already had someone in mind to take over as the next dean. It was going to be Lin Tianhao.

Lin Tianhao was the most qualified and suitable person for the role. Of course, Wang Baole could choose a junior brother from the Ethereal Dao College to take over his position. This would allow the Ethereal Dao College to expand its political influence on Mars through its control over the Dao Mountain Mist Academy, whose status had been steadily rising in the colony city.

However, to do so would be rather unfair to Lin Tianhao. Wang Baole would also incur the displeasure of people on Mars. He didn't think further on this matter. He decided that Lin Tianhao would become the next dean.

He was showing his gratitude to Lin Tianhao's father, who had helped him during the fight for mayorship. At the same time, his final decision was also the natural outcome of Lin Tianhao's growing support for him and the strengthening relationship between the both of them.

After he had some rest, Wang Baole sought out Lin Tianhao and had a long conversation with him. When Lin Tianhao left, his eyes were shining with excitement. He looked radiant and in high spirits. He was extremely thankful for what Wang Baole had done for him. He sighed happily. His father had been right!

Lin Tianhao had been qualified to compete for mayorship as well. However, Lin You had considered the pros and cons carefully and decided not to let his son participate in the fight. He had told his son that Wang Baole was a man who knew gratitude and would return the favors he owed. If Lin Tianhao stepped out from the fight willingly, and Wang Baole succeeded in becoming the new mayor, the latter would definitely remember how the Lin family had helped him in his quest.

Even though there was a higher chance of Wang Baole failing, but even if he didn't succeed, he would still remember how the Lin family had helped him…

If Lin Tianhao had joined the fight, things might have turned out fine if he had won. If he had lost, he would have no choice but to transfer out from the Dao Mountain Mist Academy.

Lin You was clearly well versed when it came to assessing the grand scheme of things and picking the best option possible to move forward. After the excited Lin Tianhao left, Wang Baole got down to business immediately. He sat in his office with a stern face and turned on his voice transmission ring. Inside was a highly confidential document that the Governor had sent him!

Only Secondary Rank Three Nobles and above were allowed to view the information in the document. Wang Baole hadn't been qualified to access it previously. Now that he was the mayor of the new city zone though, his status and office had changed. He had been given special permission to read the document.

The document contained information on the Divine Armament Catacombs and detailed the reason for setting up a new region and building a new city there.

The Divine Armament Catacombs had been discovered by Kong Dao years ago. He had reported his findings to the Martian administration. Prior to his discovery, it would have been difficult even for the Martian array formation to identify anything amiss in the region.

The Federation had placed great importance on Kong Dao's findings. The Governor herself looked into the matter multiple times. Finally, with the joint support from the many powerful cultivators of the various political forces in the Federation, they carried out a secret exploratory exercise.

Through the exercise, they found out that it extended deep underground. Its depth was immeasurable… it was impossible to determine how deep it went through means of human investigation, mystic techniques, or even technology.

Despite the joint efforts of some of the most powerful cultivators in the Federation, no one had managed to reach the deepest and lowest level of the catacombs. They had fought through countless waves of Beast Tides and had been finally stopped by a wall!

This wall was later called the Divine Armament Wall!

The wall was ice-cold. It was impossible to break through even with their combined forces. The only way to break through the wall was if the Federation President used his Divine Armament. However, they could sense the similarly strong power of a Divine Armament behind the wall. If they forcibly broke through the wall, they would be faced with an inevitable battle between Divine Armaments.

Should such a situation occur, the resultant collateral damage from the fight… would likely cause a dramatic transformation on Mars. The planet might be torn apart. Such a possibility existed.

Those caught in the middle of the fight would suffer grievous injury and even death. The Federation President himself might face a backlash and turn to dust, while the Divine Armament remained unharmed and whole.

This was a price the Federation had been unwilling to pay, and the Martian Colony Governor had found unacceptable. That was why the excavation ceased…
