Chapter 317

The Auer Sector was located at the very edge of Faye Cosmic Nation, adjacent to the Great Border River that led into the Cosmic Sea.

There were two main reasons why Faye Cosmic Nation had chosen to hold the auction in this star sector. One was that the door to the Auer Ruins was always opened in this star sector. The other was that this star sector was the most prosperous one among the thirty thousand star sectors adjacent to the Major Realm River. A large number of powerhouses would often pass by here on their way back from the Cosmic Sea or the Major Realm River. Many things that could not be bought anywhere else in Faye Cosmic Nation could be bought here. The trade was extremely developed.

Gu Ding and his crew's Golden Eagle landed on Giant Planet in the Auer Sector. This planet was the largest administrative planet in the Auer Sector. It was more than three thousand times the size of Cerule. It was also the main venue for the annual auction.

After getting off the spaceship, Gu Ding and his crew realized that the Golden Eagle was nothing in the port. In the past, when the Golden Eagle was docked on most of the other planets in Faye Cosmic Nation, it was considered a high-quality spaceship. Occasionally, people would run over to take photos with it. However, on Giant Planet, Gu Ding and his crew's Golden Eagle was considered the lowest grade.

The Golden Eagle could only be considered a normal grade spaceship because an ordinary Rank-12 or Rank-13 Gene Body could cause damage to it. Although Gu Ding's spaceship had been modified by Robert and its defense was much stronger, it would still be easily destroyed by a demigod. It was not that Robert's modification skills were not good enough, but the materials used to build the spaceship had limited the grade of the spaceship. Without modifying the main materials, the Golden Eagle would not be able to withstand a demigod's attack.

Gu Ding was also considering if he should buy a suitable spaceship at the auction to replace the one he had. Although the Golden Eagle had not been used for long, it had not been long since he used it.

Of course, Gu Ding and his crew had not been idle during their journey.

In addition to cultivating the Emperor Creation Body, Gu Ding had also taken the time to discuss medicine refinement with Parma. Although they were both A-grade pharmacologists, Parma's basic knowledge was much better than Gu Ding's, and Gu Ding benefited a lot from it. Parma had also learned a lot of medicine refinement tips and techniques from Gu Ding and benefited a lot from it. After completely absorbing Gu Ding's tube of Perfect Grade C-grade Cell Enhancer, she had successfully broken through to Rank-8 Gene Body. Although Gu Ding's Emperor Body of Nature Manifestation had not broken through to Level 3, the amplification effect had increased from 100 times to 300 times. His strength had improved again.

After Lilliath and Ayesha put on the God Item Armor, the two women's defense had increased by more than a level. The two women's overall combat effectiveness had also increased.

Apart from cooking, Biggie was also busy trying to understand the sword techniques and insights of the two-star god longsword. He had reached the peak of a Rank-13 Gene Body and was only one more opportunity away from stepping into demigod level. Of course, the long saber, which was a Two-star Divine Item, had increased his combat strength.

Dockett had also received the twelve one-star quality flying daggers that Robert had refined for him. He had been practicing with them for the past few days, and because of the weapons, his strength had increased by another level.

As for Tagore, he easily devoured the corpse and crystal core of the Three-headed Demon Flood Dragon. After sleeping for three days, he devoured the other crystal cores. Gu Ding could feel that his demigod level was full, and he was close to stepping into deity level.

Robert had also integrated three special metal materials from the spoils of war into his body and absorbed the energy from thousands of source stones. His combat effectiveness had also increased to the peak of a Lower Rank Deity.

As for Neptune, due to Gu Ding's advancement of four gene levels in one go, his authority had increased greatly. Apart from the expansion of the non-network detection range to Star Sector-level. The Database, Master Key, and Gene Bank had all been activated with high-level authority. Apart from that, he had also unlocked a new ability — creating an independent Virtual World. Moreover, this ability had also reached high-level authority. Although the Virtual World that could be created was not as good as the Virtual Arena, it was no less stable than Medicine King Valley.

It could be said that the overall strength of Gu Ding's crew had taken a leap.

Even so, the moment they got off the spaceship, Neptune reminded everyone, "On this planet, try not to cause trouble if you can. Keep a low profile."

Neptune sounded very serious, which surprised Gu Ding a little. "Neptune, what's wrong?"

"Now that I'm here, I finally know how deep the Federal Government's roots are …" Neptune sighed and continued to explain, "I've just roughly scanned this planet. There are more than ten thousand Deity-level powerhouses on this planet, and more than eight thousand of them are from the Federal Government."

As Neptune spoke, he projected the images he had seen. Gu Ding and the others saw that the people from the Federal Government had already lined up in a square formation.

"This group of people in red and black uniforms are from the Federal Government's Combat Division. The Combat Division's main responsibility is to go on expeditions in the outer regions. Therefore, the techniques they practice are all killing types. Their divine skills, when cultivated to the extreme, can generally increase the effect of their strength by about a hundred times. This time, there are three thousand people from the Combat Division, but only eleven have reached the level of a five-star Lower Rank Deity. Their cultivation levels are uneven, so they should be the reserve army that was pulled here for training. "

After watching this group, Neptune turned the camera and projected it in another direction.

"This group of people in black uniforms with a scale pattern on their chest are from the Punishment Division. The Punishment Division's main responsibility is to supervise the major prisons and the Federal Court. As they often have to deal with dangerous people, the requirements are higher. This time, there are a thousand people here, and all of them have a cultivation level of a four-star Lower Rank Deity. "

Gu Ding and the others were already shocked when they saw the Combat Division earlier. Now that they saw so many people from the Punishment Division, Gu Ding and the others realized that the Federal Government's Headquarters was far more powerful than they had imagined.

"This group of three hundred people with white cloaks on their backs are from the Elite Army. They have a cultivation level of a five-star Lower Rank Deity, but their actual combat effectiveness is above seven-star. "

Neptune's description of the Elite Army caught Gu Ding and Biggie's attention. Even Tagore raised his head and stared at the projection.

"The most terrifying thing is not the Elite Army. Although the people from the Elite Army are strong, they are not at the level of a monster. The most terrifying organization under the command of the Federal Government was codenamed TOP. All the members of this organization, including the reserve members, were monstrous powerhouses. They were existences that could fight across three ranks or even more. Among them, TOP 1 is full of Lower Rank Deity monsters, TOP 2 is full of Middle Rank Deity monsters, TOP 3 is full of Upper Rank Deity monsters … and so on.

"In fact, whether it's TOP 1, TOP 2, TOP 5, or even higher, there are only nine regular members. The rest are all reserve members. It is said that there are only nine chairs in their conference room, and only nine people can sit. The rest can only stand in the conference room. The regular members' clothes are printed with corresponding numbers. No. 1 is the strongest, and No. 9 is the weakest. The reserve members don't have numbers. Of course, the reserve members can also challenge the regular members. Once they win, they will get the corresponding seat. Those who have a seat can also challenge the seats with a higher number, but such challenges are rarely successful. "

"That sounds interesting." Gu Ding found it interesting that there were only nine chairs in the conference room.

"Don't get ahead of yourself. Let me finish," Neptune said impatiently. "There are nine TOP 1 members who came this time, and they are all reserve members. However, among the reserve members, their combat effectiveness is ranked below one hundred. However, these nine people are all five-star Lower Rank Deities. The weakest one's combat effectiveness is comparable to a one-star Middle Rank Deity, and two of them have combat effectiveness comparable to a two-star Middle Rank Deity. These nine people will be your strongest competitors in the ruins this time. "

"How do you know their rankings? Their member list should have a very high level of authority, right? Not to mention their internal rankings. "

"I accidentally overheard their conversation." No one knew whether Neptune was really being careless or just pretending to be careless.

"Other than these people, the Federal Government has the most people in the Army. They have four thousand people, all of whom are newly appointed or recently appointed brigadier generals."

"The remaining three thousand or so people are all Interstellar Pirates?" Liliath asked.

"More than two thousand and three hundred are Interstellar Pirates, and more than eight hundred are from other forces." Neptune did not explain in detail. "Among the Interstellar Pirates, there are some powerful fellows with bounties as high as ten million Universe Crystals. There are also some powerful Interstellar Hunters who have captured five-star Lower Rank Deity Interstellar Pirates. Even the Freedom Alliance organized some people to come this time. "

"Kohld Blood's Adjudicator Pirates didn't come this time?" Gu Ding could not help but ask. "I remember he just entered the Great Realm River some time ago. He should be able to make it here in time."

"He didn't come." Neptune gave a very clear negative answer. "However, you do have an acquaintance in the Freedom Alliance."

"The only ones we've interacted with in the Freedom Alliance are Grandma and Vannarebo, right? But they're not really acquaintances. "Gu Ding did not know who Neptune was talking about.

"It's Sharp. He also joined the Freedom Alliance." Neptune saw that Gu Ding could not guess, so he simply gave the answer. "After he resigned from his position as a general in the Army, he joined the Freedom Alliance. Since then, his cultivation has been improving rapidly. He's now at peak demigod level. Like Biggie, he has the ability of Sword Heart. His strongest combat effectiveness should be above five-star Lower Rank Deity. "

"He's already a demigod?" Biggie was a little surprised, but at the same time, his eyes flashed with a hint of fighting spirit. Biggie had been defeated in the battle with Sharp more than half a year ago. At that time, part of Biggie's memory was sealed, and his combat effectiveness was not fully unleashed. However, Biggie knew that Sharp was the best opponent to test his swordsmanship.

"The ruins will open in three days. Most of the powerhouses have already arrived in advance, but there might be other powerhouses arriving in these three days," Neptune continued. Neptune continued, "Take advantage of these three days to adjust your condition. Again, don't cause any trouble!"
