Fang Yu faced a tribulation thunder intended for a Sky Dome Ship, despite only being at the Legendary Ship level. He managed to survive fourteen strikes, developing Sky Dome Patterns on his ship, though he was pushed to his limits.

Fang Yu quietly contemplated.

But quickly, Fang Yu suddenly jolted in shock, hurriedly moving and leaving this sea area.

Because... just as he received the strike of the Heavenly Thunder, the Space-Time Cloak originally used to shield against the Fisherman's perception shattered.

Once it shattered, the Fisherman could sense that Fang Yu's level had risen to the Legendary Ship's level, naturally realizing the time to seize the ship had come, and would take action against Fang Yu to capture it.

Originally, Fang Yu wouldn't make such a simple mistake.

But when the Heavenly Thunder descended, it targeted not only the flesh but also the soul and spirit.

Under the vast majesty of the Heavenly Thunder, the soul would be bound, the spirit would become sluggish, and the once-clear thoughts would gradually blur, leaving nothing but full-body resistance against the Heavenly Thunder, unable to think of anything else.

Therefore, after the Space-Time Cloak shattered, Fang Yu didn't really think about the issue.

At this moment... though he unintentionally condensed the Sky Dome Pattern and obtained the power of heaven and earth, it also planted a hidden peril.

The Fisherman... had already sensed that he was still in the Ocean World, and his realm had risen to the Legendary Ship.

Perhaps, he would come to reap the benefit in the next moment...

...

"Hm?"

At this moment, in a certain hall, a man dressed in the rustic attire of a Fisherman suddenly stood up as if sensing something, his gaze turning toward the distance.

In his originally dead calm eyes, a faint but hard-to-detect light flickered.

"He... has advanced to the Legendary Ship?"

"Why can he suddenly be sensed... what happened..."

The Fisherman murmured softly, his eyes flashing with brilliance.

"What's wrong, Mr. Ancient?"

At that moment, a low voice resonated in the hall, accompanied by a hum that seemed to make the entire hall vibrate intensely with it.

Upon hearing the voice, the Fisherman came back to his senses, his expression returning to an unperturbed facade.

He turned around, looking at the man seated in the center of the hall, and then spoke softly, "It's nothing, Lord of the Country, perhaps I sensed wrong."

The man in the center of the hall was enveloped in dazzling radiance, behind whom a giant wheel was slowly rotating, occasionally casting projected images of the laborious daily life of ordinary folks.

This person was the Sovereign of the Lanyun Sea Country, Lan Yu, who initiated the war!

At this moment, Lan Yu glanced at the Fisherman and then slowly spoke, "Mr. Ancient says he wants to cooperate with me to help me form the Sea Country Alliance? That is naturally a good thing, but... what benefit does this bring to Mr. Ancient, why do you want to assist me in this?"

By Lan Yu's side, there were two other officers of the Sky Dome Ship level, serving as generals commanding the northern and southern military systems of the Lanyun Sea Country.

This position was originally held by Chongyuan's avatar.

But after Chongyuan's death, his avatar left in the Lanyun Sea Country naturally withered and ultimately vanished.

Without the assistance of Chongyuan's avatar, Lan Yu instead dared to boldly implement sweeping reforms and integrations within the southern and northern military systems, ultimately consolidating the entire military of the Lanyun Sea Country under his firm control.

This is why, not long after Chongyuan's death, the Lanyun Sea Country immediately launched an attack on the Duorong Federation.

At this moment, Lan Yu had complete control over the Lanyun Sea Country, with his power and authority elevated significantly, and was full of ambition.

Conveniently, the Fisherman approached Lan Yu at this moment.

Listening to Lan Yu's words, the Fisherman smiled slightly and then spoke softly, "It's quite simple, I want to deal with someone!"

"Hm?" A look of intrigue appeared on Lan Yu's face, "Who?"

The Fisherman took a deep breath and then slowly spoke, "The Chief Judge of the Ocean Court... and also... the Speaker of the Peacekeeping Council!"

Hearing the Fisherman's words, even though Lan Yu usually hid his emotions, his pupils suddenly contracted and he spoke in a low voice, "What did you say? You mean... the Chief Judge of the Ocean Court is the Speaker of the Peacekeeping Council? How is that possible?!"

The Peacekeeping Council was always known for its mysterious and formidable reputation; each member held crucial positions across various powers or had extraordinary backgrounds.

Such an organization was originally supposed to be pursued and captured by the Ocean Court.

But... until now, the Ocean Court couldn't do anything to the Peacekeeping Council.

The reason was that there existed a powerful peak-level powerhouse within the Peacekeeping Council: the Speaker!

This person was so mysterious and powerful to the extreme that even the sovereigns of various countries felt they were no match for him.

This is an utterly terrifying matter, considering the sovereigns of various countries are not ordinary peak-level powerhouses but the very pinnacle of prowess.

At such a level, sensing the power level of the Peacekeeping Council's Speaker, they would instinctively hesitate, which demonstrates how powerful the Speaker is.

"How can you be sure?!"

Lan Yu's breath was somewhat rushed, his gaze fixed on the Fisherman, with an unusual look of concern on his face.

The idea that the Speaker of the Peacekeeping Council was the Chief Judge was utterly absurd.

But on the other hand, Lan Yu felt there was a good possibility that it was just as the Fisherman said—the more absurd it is, the more likely it might be true.

"Lord of the Country..."

The Fisherman lowered his eyelashes and softly spoke, "The reason I call myself Ancient is that my life has extended from ancient times to now, witnessing countless eras of change, allowing me to see many things more clearly."

"The Ocean Era is enormously powerful, but... it cannot accommodate two such powerful beings."

"Whether it's the Speaker or the Chief Judge, the power they exhibit is excessively strong, strong enough... even to rival the Ancestor of Humanity!"

As the Fisherman mentioned the Ancestor of Humanity, a complex expression flashed in his eyes.

He spoke quietly, with a hint of fear in his eyes.

He had witnessed the power of the Ancestor of Humanity, and in the Fisherman's mind, the first person of eternity was none other than the Ancestor of Humanity.

But... now he sensed from both the Speaker and the Chief Judge a power no weaker than the Ancestor of Humanity, which surely shocked the Fisherman.

Yet, the Fisherman, upon regaining his composure, quickly realized...

This world, though much more advanced in both accumulation and level than it was ten thousand years ago, shouldn't be capable of supporting two such powerful figures, especially considering...

"If a mysterious powerhouse appears below the peak level, it might be a leftover or a remaining legacy from a past age."

"But above the peak level, one must be an integral part of this era to achieve it."

"The Speaker couldn't possibly achieve peak-level without any plausible origin or backing; his true identity must certainly be a well-known peak-level powerhouse, at the very least a sovereign of a nation."

"I scoured the entire Ocean World and finally discovered... the only person whose strength matched the Speaker's was the Chief Judge of the Ocean Court."

"The world's... foremost powerhouse!"

The Fisherman slowly spoke, his gaze more serious than ever before.

Listening to the Fisherman's words, Lan Yu took a deep breath, his expression complicated.

After a moment, Lan Yu softly asked, "Why do you wish to deal with him?"

"For self-preservation."

The Fisherman replied in a low voice, "In earlier years, I didn't see it clearly, and unwittingly joined the Peacekeeping Council. Now, upon reflection, I fear I've unwittingly been manipulated, becoming a pawn in another's game."

"This era is different from all the ones before; I sense someone wishes to use this era to do something."

"Someone wants to use this era to do something? You mean the Chief Judge?"

"Yes!" The Fisherman nodded, his even tone concealing turmoil, "But for now, I can't figure out what, the Outer Realm Captain... the Peacekeeping Council..."

"I always feel that every step he takes is self-contradictory, doing things that counteract each other, which precisely is what unsettles me the most..."

"He must be orchestrating an enormous scheme, intending for everyone to become entangled in it, to the point that even our world's resources aren't enough, needing to draw from another world."

"I'm afraid... when that day comes, you and I will only become sacrifices in this grand scheme."

"Thus, I want to set up a strategy in advance and join hands with the Lord of the Country to establish a Sea Country Alliance to oppose the Ocean Court..."
