Gu Ding Pirate Crew, Disbanded!

Several universes away, aboard that super battleship, Bigge and his crew had awakened after being treated by Dokter, though they were somewhat weak and probably wouldn't be able to fight for a while.

The group sat together, watching the video projection sent by the Sea Emperor, all feeling somewhat uneasy.

When they saw Bonn House, they thought Gu Ding was saved, but unexpectedly, Bonn House chose to make a deal with the warden of the Gate of Purgatory.

The price was that Gu Ding was imprisoned in the Gate of Purgatory and the Gu Ding Pirate Crew was disbanded.

In the video, Gu Ding's expression was uncertain. He clenched his fists tightly, and blood seeped from his palms where his fingernails dug into them.

On the other end of the communicator, the woman's voice still You You out, clearly reaching the ears of everyone present, even through the vacuum of space.

"To put it simply, Gu Ding was imprisoned in the Gate of Purgatory and the Gu Ding Pirate Crew was disbanded. If the Gu Ding Pirate Crew wasn't disbanded, I would have no choice but to eliminate all the other members. After all, Gu Ding, you are Epoch Monster, and we are reluctant to eliminate you. But there are people in the Universe Sea who are comparable to the other members of your Pirate Crew, so eliminating them wouldn't be a pity."

"Of course, I know you also have the idea of escaping. If you can really escape from the Gate of Purgatory and rebuild your Pirate Crew, it's none of our business. In fact, if anyone can escape from the Gate of Purgatory, we won't pursue them again. It's just that we haven't heard of anyone like that for many eras, and I'm quite looking forward to seeing if you can do it."

The warden's words stirred something in Gu Ding's mind, and he immediately looked up, "Are you serious?!"

"More real than pearls, our Gate of Purgatory welcomes all those who love prison breaks to give it a try." The woman's voice was clearly tinged with laughter.

"Sea Emperor, what's your opinion?" Gu Ding asked silently in his heart, unsure whether his choice was correct.

"First of all, you can't escape now. Whether you agree to the deal or not, you will be locked in the Gate of Purgatory."

"Secondly, even if Lily and the others escape this time, given the methods of the Order Keeper, they will find them sooner or later and kill them."

"Thirdly, if you don't accept this deal, Lily and the others will be constantly on the run because their opponents are too strong, and they won't have time to cultivate and improve their strength."

"Fourthly, if the deal is accepted, given Fa Te's earning power, Lily and the others will not lack any cultivation resources. With their talent, as long as they have enough resources and time, they will grow rapidly."

"Fifthly, if the Gu Ding Pirate Crew does not disband, it will not only be these Order Keeper who are eyeing your heads, but also various other forces."

"From an objective point of view, accepting the deal is the best option. But as a member of the Gu Ding Pirate Crew, making you accept the deal is the last thing I want to see."

The Sea Emperor sighed deeply at the end.

"I understand. Even if they hate me and resent me, I must make the right choice." Gu Ding slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then opened them again.

I accept your terms!

On the spaceship, Liliath and the others were stunned when they heard Gu Ding's words.

"Gu Ding, how could you agree to something like this..." Liliath's tears flowed uncontrollably.

"The reason Gu Ding made this choice is to protect us." Miko also heard the voice in the video projection. With his intelligence, it wasn't difficult for him to figure out the reason, but he also felt a little bitter.

"I don't need his protection. At worst, I'll just be killed. Why should I compromise?!" Liliath cried out loudly.

"Lily..." Elsa, who was standing to the side, didn't know what to do either, so she could only hand over her handkerchief.

"Trust Gu Ding, he has his own ideas." Bigge was usually taciturn, finally spoke up. His eyes never left the video projection. He recalled the scene more than half a year ago when Gu Ding invited him to join the team. "We came together because we trusted him. In this crisis, we should trust him even more."

Upon hearing this, Liliath gradually stopped sobbing and looked up at the video projection again.

Sea Emperor told Gu Ding what had happened on the spaceship, and Gu Ding's eyes brightened again. He looked up at Oliver and said, "Let's start recording."

Oliver was taken aback. He hadn't expected Gu Ding to adjust his emotions so quickly. He immediately started recording the video and then made a gesture to Gu Ding that he was ready.

Bonn House immediately moved aside.

"Greetings everyone, I am Gu Ding, captain of the Gu Ding Pirate Crew. Due to my arrest by the Order Keeper of the Gate of Purgatory, I hereby declare: The Gu Ding Pirate Crew is hereby disbanded, effective today!"

"However, I hereby guarantee, and I hope everyone who sees this video will join in monitoring, that I will successfully escape from the Gate of Purgatory within three years. At that time, I will rebuild a Pirate Crew. Moreover, I will lead my companions out of the Universe Sea, so that all races in the Great Universe Sea will hear our name!"

"Liliath! Elsa! Bigge! Dokter! Robert! Tagore! Fa Te Scarlet! Hake! Blue! Three years, that's my promise to you. Wait for me... I will definitely come back!"

Oliver was momentarily stunned; he hadn't expected Gu Ding's disbandment declaration to be so assertive. After turning off the recording, he asked somewhat nervously, "Warden, should we cut out the rest of his declaration?"

"Why cut it? I think it's fine, just release it directly." On the other end of the communicator, the woman's tone sounded quite pleasant. She then turned to Gu Ding and said, "I didn't expect you to be so unique. I like it. Escaping from the Gate of Purgatory of Gate of Purgatory within three years sounds like a boast, but I'm also looking forward to seeing what you can accomplish in those three years. Don't disappoint me."

"You two, bring Gu Ding back. As for the rest of the Gu Ding Pirate Crew, ignore them. Consider the stolen spaceship a gift to them. Gu Ding, don't forget to tell them not to cause trouble." With that, the communicator was immediately disconnected.

Oliver then posted the video he had just recorded on the Federal Government's official website, and then looked at Gu Ding, "Let's go."

"Wait a minute, let me contact Lily and the others," Gu Ding said, dialing Liliath's number again.

The call was answered immediately.

"We've all seen your video." Liliath's emotions finally calmed down. "Three years, you said it yourself, we'll wait for you."

"Thank you..." Gu Ding felt a little relieved upon hearing Liliath's voice; it seemed that the group hadn't fallen apart because of this incident. "Give me three years to cultivate diligently, improve my cultivation and strength, and try not to cause trouble. Also, remember to travel in pairs, don't act alone..."

After the call, Liliath and the others calmed down completely and hung up. Gu Ding looked at Bonn House and grinned, "Uncle, thank you."

"Actually, I couldn't help much," Bonn House shook his head with a wry smile. "Take good care of yourself in the Gate of Purgatory. There are many powerful people in the Gate of Purgatory. It will be a disaster for you, but it will also be an opportunity. Whether you can successfully escape is another matter, but if you stay in there for three years, your strength will definitely take a big leap."

"Hmm," Gu Ding nodded, then released the Half-Step True God who were still Time-Space Exile in the Miniature World, and flew towards Oliver. "Let's go."

The Gu Ding Pirate Crew has disbanded, and Captain Gu Ding has been successfully captured by the Order Keeper of the Gate of Purgatory!

On the day the video was released, the title became the most discussed topic on the SkyNet. In less than a day, the video was forwarded more than two million times, had more than 50 billion views, and the number of comments exceeded one billion.

"Could this news be fake?"

"How could it be fake? The person in the video is Gu Ding, and the video source is the Federal Government's official website. If you don't believe me, go and check the Federal Government's official website yourself."

"Gu Ding is really domineering, directly issuing a declaration that he will escape from prison within three years and rebuild the Pirate Crew."

"Strange, the other members weren't arrested."

Various opinions were heard incessantly.

"Gudin has actually been captured... It seems the Guardians are truly a group of extraordinary individuals." In a small tavern deep within the forbidden zone of the Cosmic Sea, a young man with a scar on his left cheek sat at the bar, watching the news projection on the screen, a slight smile playing on his lips. He tapped his fingers on the table. "A Mirka, please."

"Mirka?" The bartender was slightly taken aback, thinking he had misheard. The other Interstellar Pirate in the tavern also wore mocking smiles.

"Hey kid, want some Mirka? Go home and find your mom, she'll make sure you get your fill." A burly man with bulging muscles shouted at the young man; his cultivation level was clearly that of Half-Step True God.

"You have such a foul mouth." A woman's voice rang out, and in the next instant, the burly man's head was severed, and his body disintegrated into energy fragments.

Then, a stunningly beautiful redhead jumped down from the table in front of the burly man and walked up to the young man. "Captain Koude.Brad of the Judicator Pirate Crew, I didn't know you switched to drinking Mirka."

"Just to commemorate a friend, a guy imprisoned in the Gate of Purgatory, perhaps never to be seen again." Koude.Brad said, casually taking the Mirka from the bartender, raising the glass towards Gu Ding's image on the news, and downing the milky white beverage in one gulp...

[As I mentioned before, the plot after slaying the Ye Mei is a major turning point, and the story will only get more exciting from here on out. Gu Ding's true identity will also be revealed in the new volume. Rest assured, the team's disbandment is only temporary. Only after rebirth can the phoenix soar higher! ~~] r1152
