Chapter 748 - 365: Fang Yu’s Hypothesis, a New Peacekeeping Council Member?
However, this matter is just something to think about when bored; who knows when I’ll advance to Level 100.
…
Advancing to Level 59 also means Fang Yu’s ship is just a step away from Level 60.
Nevertheless, reaching Level 60 is not that easy.
To advance, three conditions must be met.
Body transformation and mutation, although Fang Yu has been improving during this time, still require nearly 30% progress to reach the third level.
For now, the resources are sufficient, and advancing these two items to the third level is very easy.
The remaining condition… is leaping over the Dragon Gate!
Only by crossing the Dragon Gate can one have the chance to advance to the Dragon Ship, and even the ship’s strength will be influenced by the “Dragon Gate”.
What is called the Dragon Gate is a very mysterious yet real thing.
When a sea ship is about to transform into a dragon, it will seek an opponent and defeat it, using the vigor and spirit generated at the moment of victory to evolve.
The stronger the opponent, the more astonishing the transformation progress will be.
Conversely, the weaker the opponent, the weaker the future strength of the Dragon Ship will be.
Moreover, the leap over the Dragon Gate can also fail.
For instance… if one admits defeat and runs away, or if the opponent is accidentally defeated and killed in advance.
There was once a related case where an expert wanted to leap over the Dragon Gate and found an opponent. Both fought exhaustively.
Finally, this expert gained the upper hand, seemingly about to kill his opponent.
But suddenly, another person emerged and killed the opponent first.
This is equivalent to all the hard work becoming someone else’s wedding dress, and the once unstoppable vigor and spirit were cut off in an instant, resulting in a failed advancement, returning to Level 59, and possibly losing morale and spirit, never able to advance to Dragon Ship Level.
Thus, for Fang Yu’s sea ship to advance to Dragon Ship Level, it must select a strong adversary to challenge.
And this formidable opponent cannot be too weak.
If too weak, defeating it would not provide a sense of achievement, nor would it yield a substantial amount of vigor and spirit.
Because at this moment, vigor and spirit do not belong solely to the captain, but to the ship as well!
The ship also gathers vigor and spirit upon defeating a strong enemy, enabling its transformation into a dragon.
Extraordinary Ship grants life to ships.
Dragon Ship endows ships with vigor, spirit, and courage!
“A formidable adversary…”
Fang Yu laughed wryly.
He had too many adversaries facing him, including many strong opponents.
However, many adversaries are too strong to be handled by Fang Yu’s current level.
So despite Fang Yu making enemies everywhere, he couldn’t help but ponder which adversary he should choose to break through to the Dragon Ship Realm.
…
Early in the next morning, Fang Yu called the crew.
“Prepare to set sail.”
Fang Yu softly spoke, issuing the order.
Upon hearing Fang Yu’s words, the crew members were surprised: “Set sail? Where are we headed? Aren’t we going to see the Sea Race leader?”
“The Sea Race leader can be met anytime, but now we have a place to investigate.”
Fang Yu softly spoke to everyone.
Fang Yu’s words held absolute authority on the ship.
Although the crew members were puzzled, they each returned to their posts, steering the ship towards the Far Deep Sea.
Upon seeing Fang Yu’s ship setting out, someone couldn’t help but be surprised.
But Fang Yu quickly reassured them, “You all rest with the Sea Race for now; I’m going out to handle some matters and will return soon!”
Upon hearing Fang Yu’s words, the crowd looked at each other, unsure, but could only watch Fang Yu steering the ship toward the Far Deep Sea.
…
“Captain, where are we headed?”
On the ship, Ma softly spoke, asking in confusion.
“Divine Hall!”
“Divine Hall?”
“Yes!”
Fang Yu pondered for a moment and then called the crew to his side, explaining the purpose of this trip to them.
Upon hearing Fang Yu’s words, everyone was astonished.
But soon, under Fang Yu’s cautionary gaze, they closed their mouths, nodded slightly, and understood Fang Yu’s intent for this trip.
Seeing everyone’s understanding, Fang Yu nodded, saying nothing more.
This trip… he had only one purpose—investigate the Divine Hall.
After yesterday’s conversation with Jiaqing, Fang Yu learned that the earliest batch of Blue Star captains might be trapped in the Divine Hall.
However, this matter was only observed from a distance by some sea races.
Now, after a year, are those Blue Star captains still in the Divine Hall, or have they lost their panel and been stripped of their ships?
After all, these Blue Star captains hadn’t spoken in forums or contacted anyone for a full year.
Their friends once sent messages but could only confirm they were alive without receiving any replies from these captains.
Fang Yu had seen this situation before.
Guan Xinxue!
Indeed, during the previous Divine Hall war, Guan Xinxue and the Blue Star captains who fell into slumber lost contact.
They were not dead, but unable to respond to messages.
When Fang Yu met Guan Xinxue again, he found Guan Xinxue had lost the panel and been deprived of the ship, becoming a complete native.
Now, similarly in the Divine Hall, a batch of captains were clearly alive but unreachable.
The similarities and intricate connections made Fang Yu worry.
Could those most powerful Blue Star captains be like Guan Xinxue and have their ships stripped?
“Guan Xinxue once said that someone in the Peacekeeping Council specifically researched how to strip ships, making Blue Star captains indistinguishable from ordinary natives.”
Fang Yu thought quietly, his eyes slightly wary.
“And later, whether it was Fisherman, Chongyuan, or Yuanqi, none demonstrated these abilities; the perpetrator seems to be someone else.”
Fang Yu pondered while drawing a startling conclusion.
This trip might lead him to meet a stranger, a Peacekeeping Council strong figure he hasn’t encountered before.
This person seems fond of research, fond of targeting Blue Star captains, and developed schemes against them.
Ship deprivation… disabling the panel’s chat feature, etc…
Fang Yu’s heart was slightly startled.
How did he achieve this?
The panel’s chat functionality, even when someone is trapped in a barrier, remains smoothly operational.
To many Blue Star captains, the panel’s functionalities surpass the high dimension of this world.
But now… before this person, these laws seemingly fail.
This person poses a threat to all Blue Star captains!
As these thoughts swirled, the ship swiftly moved forward.
A thousand nautical miles, given Fang Yu’s current ship speed, is now insignificant.
When Fang Yu reached Jiaqing’s hinted Divine Hall edge, he saw a towering and majestic Divine Hall standing firmly upon the ocean.
Fang Yu had seen and been in Divine Hall before.
Yet upon seeing this Divine Hall, Fang Yu’s mind was still shaken.
Because previous Divine Halls, despite their majestic power, inherently carried a man-made elevation sensation, the divine aura emanated had an inexplicable cheapness.
Apparently not built by gods personally, but constructed from human imagination of gods.
However, viewing this offshore Divine Hall, Fang Yu was astonished.
This Divine Hall…
It exuded divine aura, majestic and sacred, simultaneously carrying a transcendent and inviolable feeling.
Looking at this Divine Hall, Fang Yu seemingly saw a deity, eyes shut, sitting atop the ocean, suppressing all.
“A deity truly exists?”
Fang Yu was astonished, murmuring softly.
And at that moment, both Fang Yu and the crew members suddenly shuddered, their faces showing a mix of panic and disbelief.
Because in everyone’s perception…
Upon entering a boundary near the Divine Hall…
The panel… unexpectedly lost contact with the outside world!
