Ocean Lords: Start Harvesting Double from Dice Rolls-Chapter 435 - 243: Legendary Alchemist and the Alchemical Treasure Tomb

Chapter 435: Chapter 243: Legendary Alchemist and the Alchemical Treasure Tomb

"Although the Theological Research Institute and the Divine Hall are both remnants of the Divine Era, our Theological Research Institute is more like a heresy to the Divine Hall."

"Heresy?"

Fang Yu looked at Yun Qiqian, mulling over these two words in his mouth.

"Yes, heresy!"

"The Divine Hall’s philosophy is to nurture deities, to see them as masters, and to derive power from them."

"For them, deities are entities that project from higher dimensions, a kind of powerful life form."

"But for the Theological Research Institute, deities do not exist, and what is called theology is more about acquiring power from a metaphysical level, even..."

"The theological power system at the Theological Research Institute is akin to a discipline of physics and energy, rather than something deriving from deities."

"So when the Extraordinary marine system emerged, the Theological Research Institute did not choose to confront it, but to integrate into contemporary society."

"However, the Divine Hall could not tolerate the existence of the Extraordinary marine system, seeing it as a blasphemy against the deities. Naturally, my Theological Research Institute survived, while the Divine Hall was gradually ousted."

Upon hearing Yun Qiqian’s words, Fang Yu was astonished.

The Theological Research Institute actually believes that deities do not exist, which was something he was hearing for the first time.

No wonder the Divine Hall did not unite with the Theological Research Institute to attempt to overthrow the Ocean Court.

To the Divine Hall, the Theological Research Institute is likely even more detestable than the Ocean Court, isn’t it?

This directly denies the existence of deities, equivalent to outright denying the faith of the Divine Hall. What is heresy if this isn’t?

Fang Yu couldn’t help but laugh and sigh.

"But..."

Yun Qiqian, who seemed unaccustomed to frequent interaction, quickly became talkative after just two or three sentences from Fang Yu:

"The Research Institute is overly focused on internal cultivation, seldom concerning itself with worldly affairs and missing many development opportunities over the years."

"Resulting in a continuous decline, it’s doubtful many would still remember the existence of the Theological Research Institute if not for the Divine Hall Alliance Army’s problem."

A troubled look appeared on Yun Qiqian’s handsome face. He then earnestly asked Fang Yu, "Brother Fang Yu, could I ask a favor?"

"Hmm?"

Fang Yu was taken aback, "What is it?"

"After the war ends, could you teach me some ways of management and development, Brother Fang Yu? I’ve always stayed in the institute over the years and know nothing about changes in external affairs."

"The Research Institute cannot continue like this, or else its legacy will be cut off."

"I want to change the current situation, find ways to help the Research Institute develop, whether in business capabilities or Extraordinary heritage, I want progress."

"So, Brother Fang Yu, could you tell me how to bring prosperity to the Theological Modification Shop?"

Yun Qiqian’s eyes were sincere, leaving Fang Yu quite stunned.

There was something odd in Fang Yu’s heart.

Something’s not right... something’s not right!

He really found Yun Qiqian hard to read.

How could someone like Yun Qiqian, despite his formidable combat abilities, appear as green as a new recruit?

Could someone like this, potentially plotted alongside Meng Biao, be such a simple pawn placed by Meng Biao by his side?

Would Meng Biao truly set up such a complex scheme using a straightforward rookie?

Or... could Yun Qiqian’s naive demeanor be nothing but an act?

It shouldn’t be possible, should it...

Fang Yu glanced at Yun Qiqian, still seeing a sincere expression on his face.

Alright then...

Fang Yu shook his head, casually assured Yun Qiqian with a couple of words, and then turned his gaze toward the distant ocean.

Regardless of whether Yun Qiqian is truly joining hands with Meng Biao, time will soon reveal the truth.

No matter what, tackle problems as they come.

...

The marine vessel continued on course, soon reaching the coordinates indicated by the mission.

Fang Yu discreetly glanced at the distant sea region.

In the distant sea, streaks of dark red light flowed faintly, resembling the natural currents of the East Ring Sea Region.

Upon witnessing the gleam, Fang Yu felt slightly relieved, subsequently shifting focus to the sea battle wall ahead.

"Hmm?"

Yun Qiqian, beside him, suddenly uttered a light sound of surprise before leaping from the ship’s deck onto the sea battle wall.

Seeing this, Fang Yu hesitated slightly before also leaping up to join Yun Qiqian on the sea battle wall.

Upon landing on the sea battle wall, Fang Yu raised an eyebrow, his gaze directed at the battle wall beneath his feet.

He indeed sensed damage.

Fang Yu had seen the complete design of the lower sea battle wall during construction, with dense and intricate divine Seal Patterns interconnecting and forming a holistic system.

Once activated, it could endlessly draw strength from the sea, invigorating the sea battle wall into a strategic fortress.

However, the segment of the sea battle wall under Fang Yu’s feet now had divine Seal Patterns partly eroded away, resulting in attrition.

With such a state, even the raw materials appeared slightly susceptible to erosion, activation was naturally impossible.

"It’s truly damaged."

Fang Yu murmured, squatting down to closely inspect the components of the sea battle wall, discovering the eroded divine Seal Patterns seemed less like human sabotage and more as if "washed" away by some power.

Having reached Fang Yu’s current level, his sensitivity to the intensity and volatility of power and energy was immensely acute.

In Fang Yu’s perception, there’s indeed a peculiar energy fluctuation within this sea region, imparting a unique erosive quality upon surrounding ships.
