Execution!
As they stepped out of the private room in the cafeteria, the Sea Emperor's consciousness suddenly appeared. "No matter how you look at it, the attitudes of these three Order Keeper Leader towards you are rather strange. Logically speaking, someone who even the Warden is wary of should be a terrifying existence, but just now, they didn't give off that feeling at all. Don't you find that strange?"
"It must be because of Brother Angorde. I can't think of any other reason. It's very likely that he said something to them before he left." Gu Ding thought for a moment, and the only person the three of them could be wary of was probably Angorde, who had recognized him recently. Although he didn't know exactly how strong Angorde was, anyone who could freely enter and exit the Gate of Purgatory was at least a Celestial God-level expert, much stronger than the three Order Keeper Leader.
Sea Emperor thought about it and couldn't find a more suitable reason.
"Hey, where are you going?" Sea Emperor asked with some confusion as he saw Gu Ding walking towards the arena.
"Go to the arena! I just came out of seclusion today, and if I don't compete within three days, I'll lose points." Gu Ding didn't want his points to be lost for nothing.
"No need to go! Your points won't be deducted." Gu Ding was a little confused by the Sea Emperor's words.
"Isn't it said that according to the suspension rules, after the seclusion ends, you must complete thirty matches within three days? Otherwise, it will be considered as giving up all challenges and points will be deducted." Although Gu Ding had been in seclusion in the Time Acceleration Cabin for more than eight hundred days, he had not forgotten this matter.
"There's also a force majeure rule in the arena. If a challenger encounters an event beyond their control, the match can be postponed depending on the duration of the event. Your current situation, being sentenced to Capital Punishment, falls under force majeure. Until your sentence is over, you can completely ignore the arena. You won't lose any points." The Sea Emperor explained helplessly. If Gu Ding had just glanced at the rules, he wouldn't have overlooked this one, as it was placed at the end of the rules and marked in large red letters.
"There's such a thing?" Gu Ding scratched his head, completely unaware of this rule. "So what should we do now? How about we secretly escape to the Outer Domain Battlefield? That way they won't be able to find me the day after tomorrow, hehe..."
"You wish! From the moment you were sentenced, your privileges were restricted. You can no longer enter the Outer Domain Battlefield or the Cultivation Tower. Do you think such an obvious loophole in the rules will be forgotten?" The Sea Emperor directly exposed Gu Ding's unrealistic idea.
"I see..."
"My personal suggestion is that you spend all four million points and exchange them for something useful. Because I can't predict what dangers lie in the Space-Time Disordered Land. With my current permissions, I can't access the relevant information in the database. The information I have is all from the SkyNet, and it's all superficial. Some of the information is even hard to verify. So, it can only help you so much. Whether you survive or not mainly depends on yourself." The Sea Emperor's tone sounded rather solemn.
"I understand." Gu Ding knew that this was probably the most dangerous trip he had ever taken since his debut. Even a True God of the Tenth Sequence would perish in this place; with his strength, if he encountered any danger, his chances of survival would be very low.
Back in his cell, Gu Ding lay down on the bed. Guided by the Sea Emperor, he used his points to buy a bunch of miscellaneous items. He spent over four million points, stopping only when he had twenty-one left.
The next day, all the things he bought were delivered one after another.
Gu Ding put all of these items into his Storage Space.
On the morning of the third day, Gu Ding went to the cafeteria for breakfast very early. Many people in the cafeteria were surprised when they saw him. Because they saw that the calm expression on Gu Ding's face was not faked.
When the execution time arrived, Belinda, the Golden Armor Order Keeper, appeared in the dining hall with four Silver Armor Order Keeper.
Standing in front of Gu Ding, Belinda took off her helmet, revealing short blonde hair and a somewhat cute baby face.
"You're much cuter than I imagined. I always thought you were the tomboy type," Gu Ding said without hesitation.
Belinda wasn't angry at all; instead, she smiled slightly. "Originally, I wasn't the one who was supposed to take you there. I specifically asked the warden yesterday to let you see me off on my final journey. If you have anything to say, I can pass it on to Reed."
"I won't die," Gu Ding suddenly grinned.
The two didn't use telepathy in their conversation, which surprised many people. Moreover, everyone, including the silver-armored and black-armored Order Keeper, was seeing Belinda's true appearance for the first time.
Hearing Gu Ding's confident words, Belinda didn't refute them, but smiled and nodded, "Then let's create a miracle."
As I followed Belinda out of the cafeteria, a number of people gathered around to watch.
Many people originally came to see Gu Ding, but unexpectedly, they saw Belinda without a helmet, and there were a lot of discussions in the crowd.
"Miss Belinda so beautiful, she is truly a combination of beauty and talent."
"So cute, and she's Golden Armor Order Keeper. Whoever can get her would be so lucky."
"Miss Belinda, please marry me!"
"Get out of my way! Miss Belinda is my goddess! If you dare to speak so disrespectfully again, believe me, I'll beat you up!"
The conversation, which should have been about Gu Ding, turned entirely to Belinda. However, Belinda neither put on her helmet nor paid any attention to the surrounding discussions. She even had no expression on her face, as if she hadn't heard a thing.
When Gu Ding followed Belinda to the Confinement Space, the warden and three Order Keeper Leader were already waiting there.
On the Sixth Layer, many people were seeing the Order Keeper Leader for the first time.
The three Order Keeper Leader somewhat surprised to see Belinda remove her helmet, but they said nothing.
Warden Victoria glanced at Gu Ding beside Belinda with a slightly strange expression, thinking to herself, "They've even taken off their helmets. Could these two be having an affair? No wonder Belinda sided with Gu Ding during the trial, and even asked me to let her see Gu Ding off yesterday. Gu Ding is a promising talent, and his background must be quite impressive. Belinda's judgment is pretty good..."
Just as Victoria's thoughts were drifting, Bygrave coughed beside her, pulling her back to reality.
"I will open this Confinement Space first, and then the Three Commanders will jointly activate the Death Mode." Victoria composed herself, nodded to the three Order Keeper Leader beside her, and then stepped forward, placing her palm on the door of the Confinement Space.
A phantom image was projected in front of the gate.
[Identity confirmed: Warden Victoria]
[Should we open the Confinement Space?]
Victoria selected the "Yes" option.
A moment later, the blue stone door opened.
Victoria then stepped aside, and the three Order Keeper Leader simultaneously placed their hands on her.
[Identity Confirmed: Order Keeper Leader Bygrave]
[Identity Confirmed: Order Keeper Leader Kachipul]
[Identity Confirmed: Order Keeper Leader Gabriel]
[Do you wish to activate the Confinement Space Death Mode?]
Bygrave clicked the "Yes" option.
Please enter the start time of Death Mode.
Bygrave typed "[one year]".
Many people were puzzled by this, but no one questioned it, because no matter how long it took, the chances of Gu Ding surviving were slim.
After a violent tremor in the ground, a line of text appeared on the projection screen.
Death Mode activated!
A moment later, the line of text disappeared completely, and the projected page also vanished automatically.
"Begin the execution!" Victoria looked at Gu Ding.
Gu Ding took a deep breath and strode towards the stone gate. (To be continued~^~)
