Ocean Lords: Start Harvesting Double from Dice Rolls

Chapter 724 - 356: Chongyuan’s Worries and Expectations

"King, your foresight is uncanny. Fang Yu and the others indeed foolishly followed your strategy and went to intercept towards Maguan Island. This batch of resources is enough for our Spirit Pill Sect to refine many spirit pills, sufficient for years of warfare and development."

On a sea ship, Chang Dong, the sales director of the Essence Feast, was gazing respectfully at the middle-aged man standing next to him, speaking in a voice tinged with barely noticeable flattery.

This middle-aged man, dressed in a well-cut suit and wearing gold-rimmed glasses, looked exceedingly refined.

He didn’t resemble a combat-driven cultivator but rather appeared as a businessman.

However, everyone in the entire fleet showed immense respect for this middle-aged man, as he was a transformation of Chongyuan, the legendary son of the Spirit King, and the new Spirit King respected by all major Spirit Sects.

Of course, Chongyuan has now revealed his identity and is hailed by all spiritualists as the new Spirit King.

Now, this transformation’s identity on the surface is the owner of the Essence Feast Company.

The legendary business genius with vast connections and channels.

Listening to Chang Dong’s flattery, Chongyuan’s face didn’t show much pride or joy, only calmness and contemplation.

As a half-human-half-fungi existence, Chongyuan knew his advantage was not in direct combat strength but in managing multiple identities.

Thus, from the Alchemy Era to the current Sea Ship Era, Chongyuan has been constantly strategizing and managing, having already mastered calculation and layout through two era transitions.

Now, merely dealing with a young junior captain is nothing worthy of Chongyuan’s happiness.

In Chongyuan’s view, Fang Yu falling into the trap is normal; if he didn’t, it would be peculiar.

Hearing Chang Dong’s words, Chongyuan felt not joy but rather annoyance in his heart.

"Hmph!"

Chongyuan snorted coldly, glancing lightly at Chang Dong, which immediately scared Chang Dong into trembling, hurriedly kneeling down, feeling of panic, unsure of what he said wrong to offend the new Spirit King.

Yet how could Chang Dong know that Chongyuan’s level of thinking and planning is already far beyond Chang Dong’s.

Chang Dong thinks that by transporting the resources away this time, causing a great loss to the Duorong Federation, and with this momentum, they can fully allow the West Cyan Continent to become independent and form a Sea Country for spiritualists.

But... Chongyuan’s planning is profound, and he remains composed.

Having experienced two era transitions, starting momentum in this era or the next is actually no different for him.

On the contrary, allowing the Essence Feast Company to be exposed like this is equivalent to cutting off sustainable growth, like killing the chicken to get the eggs.

After all, Chongyuan’s main body is special; only by devouring enough resources can he split into strong enough transformations. Otherwise, the quality of the transformations is weak, even inferior to warship-level strength, so Chongyuan values the Essence Feast Company very much.

Unfortunately...

Man proposes, but the heavens dispose. Chongyuan never expected that his two major transformations in Lanyun Sea Country would be exposed and thus be controlled by Sovereign Lanyun.

Each primary transformation consumes a large amount of Yuanqi to condense, once dead, Chongyuan would fall into slumber.

But this is not what troubles Chongyuan the most; what makes him uneasy the most...

Is his main body being discovered by Yuanqi, becoming a weakness to threaten him, forcing Chongyuan to do things contrary to his own plans.

The layout has gradually deviated from the original track.

And the development of the situation has already exceeded Chongyuan’s control, making him uneasy.

"This era feels completely different from the previous ones, definitely a unique node."

"But... what on earth is the change in the future era? And whose handiwork is the arrival of those Outer Realm Captains..."

"I’ve investigated the identity of most members of the Peacekeeping Council, but the identity of the Chairman remains a mystery."

"The Chairman is clearly a top expert, standing at the pinnacle of the era, so why do they stir up this muddy water?"

"Lan Yu (Sovereign Lanyun), I’ve sensed his aura, not as good as the Chairman’s, indicating the Chairman is definitely one of the top peaks in this world, yet among the few top peaks, why can’t I even think of who he really is..."

"This era’s node and the arrival of Outer Realm Captains might be intricately linked to the Chairman..."

Chongyuan had mixed feelings, suddenly sensing the era’s uniqueness, realizing that he might not be able to hide in the back like in the Alchemy Era to quietly plot.

He might be pushed to the forefront, drawing the attention of the peaks for that mysterious Chairman.

Damn it...

He doesn’t like this feeling, turning from a player to a pawn, making Chongyuan quite restless inside.

Forget it...

Chongyuan suddenly sighed slowly, shaking his head in contemplation.

Having already entered the fray now, it seems he cannot retreat to the back anymore. For now, he can only take one step at a time, trying to handle the current situation well and steer things back on track with his own layout, which is paramount.

Thinking of this, the coldness in Chongyuan’s gaze slightly diminished. He looked at the trembling Chang Dong beside him and spoke in a slightly gentler tone: "Alright, get up, you haven’t done anything wrong."
