Liliath and the Others' Arrangements

Gu Ding's face was spread to almost every corner of the Universe Sea not long ago.

First, three members of the Pirate Crew topped the Demigod, Iron, and Bronze rankings. Then, the Federal Government awarded them an Annual Rookie of the Year and the Most Dangerous Team of the Year. Finally, just a few days ago, they publicly disbanded the Pirate Crew and announced their arrest and imprisonment. If it weren't for the extermination of the Darkness Clan, the topic of Gu Ding and his team would probably have remained a hot one for a long time.

In the Universe Sea, aside from those elusive, god-level powerhouses who wouldn't notice such news, almost everyone is unable to ignore Gu Ding's existence. Therefore, it's quite normal that he was recognized by these nine people.

Seeing that Gu Ding was wearing Striped Prison Uniform and had no shackles, a woman asked, "Gu Ding, you escaped so quickly? It seems you were only locked up for three days, right?"

"No, my presence here is, in a way, part of a mission from the Gate of Purgatory." Gu Ding didn't intend to explain in detail; he figured the people in front of him would understand better this way. After speaking, he looked at the Swordsman from before. "His injuries can't be delayed any longer. If his divine energy isn't replenished within two minutes, he will perish."

The Sword Cultivator was now unconscious, lying on the ground with a weak breath, his body on the verge of collapse.

The group then surrounded the Swordsman and injected him with several vials of medicine.

Gu Ding turned to leave, but was stopped by the woman from before, "Can we come with you?"

"No," Gu Ding refused outright. He came to this Outer Domain Battlefield mainly to kill Alien Race and earn points. These people would only hold him back.

"We know the locations of some Two-Headed Demon Race strongholds, and we can provide you with that information," the woman said quickly.

"I have my own ways of finding out the locations of those strongholds," Gu Ding needed this kind of information guidance the least. With the Sea Emperor around, no information in this Outer Domain Battlefield could escape his detection. "This Outer Domain Battlefield is originally a place for cultivation. If someone is protecting you, it will have no effect on your cultivation. I rescued you only because I happened to be passing by, and my mission is also to slaughter Alien Race."

After Gu Ding finished speaking, he disappeared in a few leaps.

The group stared helplessly in the direction Gu Ding had left. After a while, they gathered around the Sword Cultivator, whose wounds had healed but who remained unconscious, and began to discuss the matter.

"He's from a completely different world from us. He slaughtered those Two-Headed Demon Race like it was nothing, like cutting vegetables. I really don't know how he cultivated."

"The Gu Ding Pirate Crew is not just about Gu Ding; almost every member is a formidable force. Besides the top three on the three lists, don't forget that they occupy the top five spots on the Black Iron Prodigy Ranking."

"It's a pity that such a strong team has disbanded."

"Given their Pirate Crew's reputation, even if they disbanded, any one of their members would be highly sought after by various powerful forces. However, it seems they've all disappeared since they disbanded."

"What I want to know most right now is whether Gu Ding can successfully escape from prison and rebuild the Pirate Crew within three years."

Many things have happened Gate of Purgatory in the past few days.

With the news of the Darkness Clan's annihilation exploding on SkyNet, public attention to the disbanded Gu Ding Pirate Crew has decreased significantly.

On an unremarkable Administrative Star, a super warship docked at the port, attracting a large crowd of onlookers.

The hatch opened, and a group of people came out one after another, their expressions all rather gloomy.

However, no one recognized this group of people because they were all wearing genuine leather masks, and their hairstyles, hair color, and appearances were all different from before.

Even the color of that super battleship was completely different from when it was stolen.

This group of people were none other than Liliath and her companions in disguise. The reason for their disguise was that their appearance would be recognized wherever they went, not because they were worried about trouble from the Federal Government, but because it would cause them a lot of inconvenience.

"This planet is one of the Relatively Developed Trading Star on the star map that the Sea Emperor gave me," Robert said, leading the group toward an Open-Air Tavern. "Let's all sit down and chat, just like before."

Sitting in Open-Air Tavern and chatting is a habit introduced to everyone by Gu Ding. Having grown up in the Rose Tavern, Gu Ding is used to such an environment and feels more at ease there. Therefore, people usually choose a tavern to gather and discuss anything.

Liliath and her group followed this custom, finding a round table to sit down, but the happy atmosphere of the past was gone.

Seeing the group's gloomy faces, the waiters hesitated to approach. Only when Bigge waved did one of them cautiously come over.

Liliath and the others only ordered a drink and didn't seem to be in the mood for anything else. It was Bigge ordered a few local specialties before they stopped eating.

When the drinks were served, everyone drank them in silence.

"What are everyone's plans?" Scarlet broke the silence and spoke first.

"Let's split up. As Gu Ding said, we should go in pairs. If we stay together, we'll still be targeted by the Order Keeper," Liliath finally said.

"How should we divide them?" Scarlet was used to going it alone, and it was only with great difficulty that she integrated into the team. Now that they were in pairs, she frowned a little.

"Elsa and I are in a group. As for Hake, since Gu Ding isn't here, you'll have to keep an eye on him, Bigge." Liliath was a little worried about Hake. As she said this, she glanced at Hake, Hake chose to remain silent. Usually, his silence meant he agreed.

"And Miko, I'm not really comfortable leaving her with anyone else, but the Order Keeper said before that groups of three aren't allowed, so it's better to leave her with Fa Te. Dokter and Scarlet, neither of you are reliable at taking care of children."

"Robert is also unable to integrate into human society and needs someone to look after him. Therefore, this task can only be completed by Dokter or Scarlet."

"I'll team up with Robert," Dokter suggested, "After all, Scarlet doesn't know her very well."

"Alright then, now it's just Scarlet, Tagore, and Blue left." Liliath looked at Tagore, knowing that Tagore had his own opinions.

Sure enough, Tagore jumped onto Bigge's shoulder; he knew who to follow for good food.

Scarlet, who was left, reached out her finger to tease Blue. "Anyway, I'm used to being alone. Having multiple pets doesn't make much difference. On the contrary, I'd feel uncomfortable being in a group with people."

In truth, Liliath really hoped that Tagore would choose Scarlet, so that she and Tagore could be with Blue. However, Tagore made his own choice, and Liliath didn't say much.

Tagore and Blue were always treated like pets by outsiders, so Tagore following Bigge and Hake did not count as a group of three.

So, the group assignments were decided.

Liliath and Elsa in one group;

Bigge, Hake, and Tagore form a group;

Fa Te and Miko a group;

Dokter and Robert are in a group;

And finally, Scarlet and Blue are in a group.

"The groups have been assigned, what's next?" Scarlet asked casually as he fed Blue a leaf of lettuce.

"Even if Gu Ding is in the Gate of Purgatory, he will continue to grow stronger. We can't let him leave us behind, so I've decided to take Elsa with me to find the Ruins Left by Ancestor Medusa. If we can obtain Medusa's legacy, my strength will increase dramatically." Liliath already had a plan.

"Now that Hake and I are in the same group, I plan to take him traveling around, to immerse him in the lives of ordinary people, and to cleanse him of his murderous intent. Also, during this time, I can learn to cook more dishes. Of course, we won't forget our spiritual practice." Bigge also had plans, and Tagore was clearly satisfied with this arrangement.

"Since Miko grouped together, I will take him home and try my best to find a cure for his eye disease, and teach him about finance. As for cultivation, our family also has the development rights to some small ruins, so we won't lack any cultivation resources." Fa Te was quite satisfied with being grouped with Miko, because he felt that Miko entered the financial industry, he might do better than him.

"I will take Robert with me to challenge various powerful opponents and cultivate her combat abilities," Dokter said with a smile, "And let her gradually learn how to communicate properly with strangers."

After hearing everyone's plans, Scarlet had an idea in mind. "I'll take Little Blue with me to explore various ruins and secret realms. Didn't you say that Blue can go berserk? I'll slowly uncover that side of him. Violent Blue, that sounds very interesting..."

Scarlet's words immediately made Liliath regret giving Blue to him.

"Now that we've decided on the groups, we don't need that super battleship for the time being; it's too conspicuous." Fa Te already had a plan for that super battleship. "I'll have someone from our family come and take it away, temporarily storing it away. When Gu Ding returns, we can use this spaceship again, how about that?"

"I have no objection," Liliath nodded, and no one else raised any objections either.

"Also, everyone needs money to purchase resources for cultivation, and we'll need money to buy spaceships later. During this time, the team's savings have reached over 88 trillion. There are exactly eleven of us, so that's an average of 8 trillion per person. I'll transfer the money to everyone now," Fa Te continued.

"There are over fifty trillion, that's the legacy Ever left you, right? You can give us the remaining thirty trillion, that's enough." Liliath also knew about Everett's affairs.

"It's alright, money can be earned back. You have to trust my abilities. Money is the last thing I lack. Prodigy Experts consume far more resources than ordinary people. If you want to improve your strength quickly, money is a necessity, so don't refuse." Fa Te shook his head and said, "Miko and I will use this 16 trillion as capital to earn even more."

"Alright then, that's basically it. Everyone, focus on your cultivation, improve your strength, and wait for Gu Ding's good news."
