Chapter 265

Y'lisabet was stunned when she heard Gu Ding's invitation. She never thought Gu Ding would invite her to join the crew. She also thought that if Midea heard Gu Ding's words, she would definitely find another topic to tease her about.

Neptune was speechless because this was not the first time Gu Ding had made such an invitation. In addition to Y'lisabet, Gu Ding had also invited Grand Duke Roland before, although he did not know Roland's true identity at the time. However, Roland didn't directly refuse, which surprised Neptune at the time. Now, Gu Ding had invited Y'lisabet, even when he knew that Y'lisabet was the Lord of Faye Cosmic Nation. Neptune did not know what to say about such a brainless invitation.

Of course, Neptune also admitted that both Roland and Y'lisabet would only bring benefits if they joined the crew. However, he did not have such extravagant hopes. He believed that everyone had their own role, and these people's identities meant that they could not become Interstellar Pirates.

Gu Ding looked at Y'lisabet with wide eyes, waiting for her reply.

"Gu Ding, I'm actually very envious of you. Your attitude towards life, your personality, your freedom, and the fact that you have so many good friends around you. Ever since Midea and I met you in the Virtual Arena, I've been paying attention to you. I've watched every video of the trouble you've caused. Sometimes, I think that if I were a part of the crew, I would definitely be very happy every day.

"However, I'm sorry that I have to reject your invitation. If my identity allowed me to become an Interstellar Pirate, I would not hesitate to join your crew, become one of you, and travel the Cosmic Sea with you. However, I was destined to have no freedom since I was born. I was groomed as a candidate for the Lord of Faye Cosmic Nation from birth until I became a demigod. I never left the Royal Capital Star Sector. All I did every day was read, cultivate, eat, and sleep. Day after day, the cycle continued. It was only when I became the Lord of Faye Cosmic Nation that I seemed to have more freedom, but no matter where I went, I was always guarded carefully.

"After the Lord of Faye Cosmic Nation stepped down, the Federal Government stipulated that there were only two places for me to go. One was to stay in Faye Cosmic Nation as a guardian forever, and the other was to go to the Outland. If I choose to be a guardian, I will never be able to leave Faye Cosmic Nation until the end of my lifespan. However, I will always be able to obtain the cultivation resources and all kinds of things I want from the Federal Government. If I choose to go to the Outer Realm, it would be equivalent to completely breaking away from the jurisdiction of the federal government, and I would have to rely on myself for everything. I want freedom, so my choice is to go to the Outer Realms. "

"But it's too dangerous for you to go to a place like the Outer Realms alone." Gu Ding frowned slightly. He admitted that Y'lisabet was not weak, but according to the information provided by Neptune, in a place like the Outland, a Lower Rank deity was completely cannon fodder. Moreover, Y'lisabet had gone alone.

"There are many seniors from Faye Cosmic Nation over there. The Federal Government has already contacted three of them. They'll take care of me." Y'lisabet remained optimistic.

"It'll be a little better if someone looks after it. However, you still have to be careful. I heard that once there's a conflict between different tribes, it will end in a fight to the death. "Gu Ding relayed what Neptune had told him not long ago.

"Someone has already told me about this. In fact, the Federal Government has already provided me with a lot of information about the Outer Realms. They hope that I'll give up on this idea and stay in Faye Cosmic Nation. That's why they've told me in detail about the dark side of the Outer Realms. " Y'lisabet's smile was still full of confidence. "However, they can't scare me. I still choose freedom."

"Then we'll look for you when we get to the Outer Realms." Although he was rejected, Gu Ding was still very free and easy. He could more or less understand Y'lisabet's thinking. People who did not know what freedom was all their lives yearned for it more than others. For freedom, they would even give up their lives. He also knew that Y'lisabet was actually mentally prepared.

Gu Ding did not say anything more, and Y'lisabet fell silent.

Not long after, the two of them flew into the vicinity of the port and attracted a lot of attention. After all, only deities could fly in the sky. This was common knowledge to many. However, many people forgot another common knowledge. If deities did not want to be photographed, they would not be captured by various surveillance equipment.

"Where's your spaceship? We're about to land, "Y'lisabet asked.

Gu Ding saw the Grey-faced Buzzard from afar because Dockett's spaceship was very unique. The spaceship's hull was printed with very abstract, distorted stripes. It was what Dockett called a work of art. He pointed at the spaceship. "That spaceship is the one with more than twenty different colors. It's painted like colorful scribbles."

"I couldn't tell that you have such special taste." Y'lisabet also recognized it at a glance. The two of them quickly descended and landed not far below the spaceship.

"This isn't my spaceship. It's the spaceship of a new member," Gu Ding explained helplessly. "Because our Golden Eagle is too familiar with the Federation Army. If we drive it here, I'm afraid we'll be surrounded and killed before we can even enter Royal Capital Star Sector."

"That's true." Y'lisabet knew that Gu Ding was not exaggerating at all. Although Gu Ding's crew's bounty had not changed after the Red Shield incident, it did not mean that the Faye Cosmic Nation Army had let down their guard against Gu Ding's crew. Robert's attack alone was enough to put them on high alert. The death of Dark Sectors' Potie and Gu Ding's crew's bombardment of the Childe family made the Faye Cosmic Nation Army even more vigilant. They were already doing their best to find the whereabouts of Gu Ding's crew.

Although Gu Ding's crew was strong, they did not even have a demigod. A crew like this was most afraid of being intercepted by a warship. That was because no matter how strong one's combat effectiveness was, they would not be able to survive in space without reaching demigod level. If they were intercepted by a warship in space and the spaceship was destroyed, everyone in Gu Ding's crew would be wiped out. No one in Gu Ding's crew would survive.

Following Gu Ding into the Grey-faced Buzzard, Y'lisabet looked around the messy interior of the spaceship and shook her head. Then, she saw a huge cell repair cabin in the center of the main cabin. She immediately walked toward the repair cabin and saw Biggie lying inside in only a pair of shorts. Her face flushed slightly, but she quickly returned to normal.

"Open the hatch. Let me see how serious he is," Y'lisabet said to Gu Ding.

Gu Ding nodded and scanned his wristwatch at the lock. Only then did the door of the repair cabin open automatically.

Y'lisabet reached into the repair cabin and grabbed Biggie's wrist with one hand. A white God Source escaped from her palm and slowly entered Biggie's body.

Y'lisabet used her God Source to probe Biggie's body inch by inch, looking for the source of the invading God Source that Gu Ding had mentioned. Time ticked by, and nearly twenty minutes later, Y'lisabet finally let go of him. She raised her head and said to Gu Ding, "I've checked his body. There are indeed remnants of grayish-green God Source in his body, and this God Source has an imprint. However, the deity who left this God Source is stronger than me, so it will take some time to erase this imprint. It will take at least two hours to completely expel this energy. During this time, I can't be disturbed in any way. Otherwise, I'll suffer from the backlash of that God Source. "

"Alright, I'll go outside the spaceship." Gu Ding nodded. Just as he was about to step out, he suddenly heard Y'lisabet exclaim.

"What's wrong?" Gu Ding turned his head, puzzled.

"The two deities who guard this planet are coming this way …" Y'lisabet frowned.

"I understand. I'll stop them. You continue to heal Biggie. I'll try to buy as much time as possible," Gu Ding said as he pushed open the door and stepped out.

As soon as he stepped out of the Grey-faced Buzzard, Gu Ding saw a Silver Hawk not far away. He leaped and appeared directly on top of the spaceship. His motive was simple. Those were two real deities. If they found out that Biggie was recuperating in the Grey-faced Buzzard, they would probably be more than happy to destroy the spaceship. Moreover, with their strength, destroying a Grey-faced Buzzard would be a piece of cake. Therefore, Gu Ding chose to stand on top of another spaceship. This Silver Hawk was the best spaceship in the entire port apart from Y'lisabet's Phoenix. It was huge and had a wide field of view. He did not choose to stand on the Phoenix because there were many powerhouses stationed there. Once he landed, he would immediately be attacked and fall into a passive position.

Hearing the whooshing sound coming from afar, he saw two figures rapidly approaching his location like arrows. Gu Ding knew that the two deities must have found him.

Sure enough, the two figures finally stopped not far away from Gu Ding. The two of them looked at Gu Ding carefully. One of them suddenly asked, "You're Gu Ding?! Why do you look different from the wanted poster? "

"Hey, can you not ask such stupid questions? He's obviously in disguise. "The other person saw through Gu Ding's disguise.

While the two were sizing Gu Ding up, Gu Ding was also sizing them up. Of the two deities, one was tall and thin while the other was short and fat. Both of them looked very ordinary. Not only that, but their auras were completely different from Y'lisabet's. Compared to the Guardians, the two of them looked more like Interstellar Pirates.

However, Gu Ding did not dare to underestimate them. He clenched his fist and took a step forward. "That's right, I'm Gu Ding!"
