Zhang Hao was keenly aware that Nangong Zhi ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, which was unusual!
This incident may cause a storm. It's hard to say how big the storm will be. But Zhang Hao must be prepared accordingly.
If Nangong Zhi ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, it would have been fine three years ago, but delaying it until now has made it more complicated. Of course, since Nangong Zhi proclaimed himself emperor after delaying it until now, there must be Nangong Zhi's consideration and necessity.
Zhang Hao can only put himself in Nangong Zhi's position and carefully consider why Nangong Zhi delayed proclaiming the emperor until now, and what kind of disturbance will this cause?
Zhang Hao said goodbye to Zhou Shuhai, Zhou Jue, Liu Qingqing and others thoughtfully all the way, and got on a special car to return to Dayang Group.
Zhang Hao continued to think on the way, and gradually he had a clue in his mind:
Nangong Zhi is afraid that he will have some trouble with the Xuanzhen Sect!
We have to start from the beginning. Specifically, we have to talk about the Kingdom of Shaoze thirty or forty years ago. At that time, the Kingdom of Shaoze was already too powerful:
According to the information Zhang Hao has now received, the original Shaoze Kingdom had at least 7 people in the God Transformation stage, and this is still on the surface.
The original patriarch of the Dugu family, Dugu Junjie’s father, Dugu Xin, the general of the Shangzhu Kingdom of the Kingdom of Shaoze, was in the Divine Transformation stage. Every general is in the Divine Transformation stage, so it can be imagined that the Kingdom of Shaoze’s Divine Transformation stage
Definitely a lot.
At that time, the territory of the Kingdom of Shaoze reached 17,000 miles, accounting for almost one-fifth of the area controlled by the Xuanzhen Sect! And at that time, the Kingdom of Shaoze seemed to be brewing a new expansion.
Then, Shaoze's country fell into civil strife and disintegrated!
Although the civil strife in the Kingdom of Shaoze seemed to be the result of the calculations of the surrounding countries; as the information collected became more complete, and Zhang Hao became more and more keen on politics, Zhang Hao vaguely saw that there was another secret behind this matter.
Black Hand:
Xuanzhen Religion!
Now, the country of Shaoze has been reunited and become more powerful. The Xuanzhen Sect must be worried!
In addition to this reason, we also need to talk about Nangong Zhi's original war between the Xuanzhen Sect and the Xiaoyao Sect, which led to the death of Hong Yazi.
In vain.
Looking back now, Xuanzhen Sect may have used this incident to punish Shaoze Kingdom and Nangong Zhi! At least keep this excuse, so that it will be convenient to do something in the future!
In this way, it can explain why Nangong Zhi took so long to dare to proclaim himself emperor. Of course, this can also allow Zhang Hao to roughly predict the future situation.
The situation in the Fertile Continent, which has been peaceful for three years, is about to become turbulent again.
Then Zhang Hao thought of the Tuotu Continent. The Red Lotus Sect and the Holy Fire Sect had entered the final life-and-death showdown, and the Holy Fire Sect had almost no power to resist.
Although the Holy Fire Sect is currently surviving with the support of the Ming Cult, the lack of industrial base and the surrounding blockade have made the Holy Fire Sect already in dire straits.
To the east of the Holy Fire Sect is the Ming Sect, to the south is the Red Lotus Sect, and to the north and west are the oceans, and this ocean will now be under the control of Dayang Group and the Kingdom of Qixia.
Therefore, the Holy Fire Sect has had a very difficult time in the past three years. It is still able to persist now, but it is just the accumulation of the past and part of the foundation of the Tiandu Sect at the beginning. However, without the foundation of development, it will eventually be exhausted.
Therefore, in the eyes of Zhang Hao and even most people, unless a miracle occurs, the fate of the Holy Fire Sect has been doomed, and it is just a matter of how long.
However, now there may be a turning point: the country of Shaoze has changed. Nangong Zhi is going to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. It is not known how many changes will be caused; if the changes are drastic, it may cause a new war!
Nowadays, due to the massive increase in the transformation stage, a potential crisis has actually been triggered!
What is the Divine Transformation Stage? Master? Pillar? None! In the Divine Transformation Stage, he is... a super loser!
The practice of the God Transformation stage requires a huge amount of resources! The value of these resources can easily be dozens or hundreds of high-grade spiritual stones. A practitioner in the God Transformation stage, under normal circumstances, should not be too relaxed about consuming tens of thousands of high-grade spiritual stones every month.
; If you want to buy something good, you can’t afford it even if you spend 30,000 to 50,000 high-grade spiritual stones every month.
It’s not that people in the Divine Transformation stage don’t know how to plan carefully, but things in the Divine Transformation stage are inherently expensive. If you encounter rare ones and auction them, the prices will be even more disappointing.
Now the situation has changed! It’s even more desperate!
In the past, there were very few cultivators in the Divine Transformation Stage. In addition to the constraints of cultivation techniques and so on, there is another thing that cannot be ignored: natural resources!
Just like tigers in the mountains, the number of tigers always remains on the ecological balance line, and may fluctuate but not too much. If the number of tigers suddenly increases more than ten times, or even dozens or hundreds of times, there will not be enough animals in the entire mountain forest to support tigers.
food.
And this is the situation now in the Divine Transformation Stage.
The transformation stage suddenly increased a hundred times!
In the past, a country was considered strong if it had three or two divine transformation stages. Nowadays, the number of divine transformation stages in each country has increased to hundreds or even thousands in just three years.
The period of transformation into gods has increased, which seems to be a good thing. But what about the consumption?
In the past, a country could not afford to support three or two stages of transformation. How can we support these stages now?
Industry has developed, but can industrial products be used for spiritual practice? Obviously impossible.
To practice in the god-transformation stage, you need a lot of natural resources, mainly excellent medicinal materials, monster resources, etc.! The growth of a god-level medicinal material often takes hundreds or thousands of years, and the growth of monsters also takes several years.
More than a hundred years.
Now, contradictions have arisen!
The increase in the Divine Transformation Stage will inevitably lead to a decrease in the 'value' of the Divine Transformation Stage. In the past, Zhang Hao's annual salary for Fu Yun and others was one million high-grade spiritual stones; now, Dayang Group's quotation is only 100,000 high-grade spiritual stones.
Dayang Group’s prices are quite high, and some business groups even offer prices as low as 50,000!
However, what is worse is not this, what is even worse is: as the transformation period increases and demand increases, the price of resources will naturally increase!
The average price of a Jade Blood Pill in the Divine Transformation Stage (equivalent to the Peiyuan Pill in the Qi Refining Stage) has increased from 10 high-grade spiritual stones to 30 high-grade spiritual stones.
This price is stable at 30 high-grade spiritual stones because of the abundance of resources and the hunting of a large number of deep-sea monsters in the Fairy Mountain exploration in the past three years.
Now, as the giant beasts of the deep sea have been hunted down, the price of the Blue Blood Pill is beginning to rise again.
Also, as of now, industrialized alchemy production lines can only produce elixirs at the Golden Elixir stage and below. Those at the Nascent Soul stage and above still require traditional refining methods, which makes it difficult to increase the output.
So do you think alchemists are popular?
Sorry, no! Not enough resources!
Moreover, today's alchemists are like the Dayang Group in the past: Facing the turbulent stage of transformation into gods, no one dares to sit down and raise their prices. They don't want to live anymore, right? Do you know what it means to be hard-pressed by public anger?
When the overall society is out of balance, "exquisite goods can be used to live in" often evolves into "overestimating one's capabilities + self-destruction"!
Everything has a balance. Once the balance is broken, the consequences will be disastrous.
But now, the balance between the resources of the cultivation world and the cultivators has been broken!
The vehicle slowly drove into Dayang Group's headquarters. Zhang Hao finally opened his eyes, his eyes deep. Zhang Hao smoothed over the possible changes again.
Now the balance between the high-end resources of the cultivation world and the Divine Transformation Stage has been broken, but everyone is still restrained for the time being. The main reason is that an overseas fairy mountain has attracted everyone's attention, and a large number of Divine Transformation Stages have invested in Xuanwu Mountain and even Liuli Island.
However, the current balance is already a powder keg. Once a spark breaks out, the consequences... may be devastating!
Half an hour later, Zhang Hao gave a speech at the Dayang Group headquarters and expressed his thoughts. The venue fell into silence.
Everyone may have been vaguely aware of this in the past, but they were definitely not as thorough as Zhang Hao's analysis. At this time, everyone was completely stunned after hearing Zhang Hao's words.
After a while, Bai Yutang stuttered and said: "I agree with Mr. Zhang's speculation. Do we need to prepare for war next? And it may be preparation for a full-scale war?"
Everyone was silent and looked at Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao nodded affirmatively, "We must prepare. From now on, Dayang Group will prepare for a full-scale war. Unless this war does not break out, it will definitely be a disaster.
The war between the Red Lotus Sect and the Holy Fire Sect is the best reference!
Also, we must be prepared to prevent rogue bandits from becoming gods.
Dayang Group is the fat in the eyes of countless people. Once any chaos occurs, I am worried that someone will take risks. We must prepare a strong emergency team. Once this happens, we will kill them on the spot and leave no survivors!"
