Gu Ding and his crew had not stopped cultivating while they were on the run for the past few days. However, since everyone had just broken through, it was impossible for them to improve their strength again in a short period of time. They were only doing some cultivation to consolidate their cultivation. In the past few days, Gu Ding could feel that he was getting closer and closer to demigod level. He could break through at any time.

On this day, another shocking piece of news came from the Cosmic Sea — the Grizzly Mercenary Corps in the deep-sea region had been wiped out by the Federal Government. Out of the tens of thousands of people in the Grizzly Mercenary Corps, the three Supreme Deity commanders and deputy commanders were all dead. Out of the hundreds of core members, more than seventy were killed, and the remaining twenty were captured. Out of the tens of thousands of mercenaries, more than seven thousand were killed, and the remaining three thousand were arrested. The Grizzly Mercenary Corps had occupied more than eight thousand universes in the deep-sea region, and all of them were occupied by the Federal Government.

The news caused a stir in the entire Cosmic Sea. It was not only the shallow sea and the deep-sea region, but even the Seabed Restricted Area was talking about it.

Gu Ding had just opened his eyes from his cultivation when Neptune told him the news.

"Why did the Federal Government suddenly attack the Grizzly Mercenary Corps?" Gu Ding could not understand. According to the information provided by Neptune, the Federal Government had no motive to attack them. The more than eight thousand universes occupied by the Grizzly Mercenary Corps was a very large and terrifying territory in the eyes of the people in the shallow sea. However, in the eyes of the Federal Government, it was nothing.

"According to the information I've found, the Federal Government did not deliberately organize this operation," Neptune explained, "This is actually just an ordinary 'training exercise', but it's a little too big."

Gu Ding was a little speechless at Neptune's words. At least in his eyes, the Grizzly Mercenary Corps was still an unshakable behemoth. There were three Supreme Deities in the group alone and hundreds of Higher Deities. Any one of them would be a huge crisis for Gu Ding's crew.

Wayne, who was currently chasing Gu Ding's crew, was only a 2-star Higher Deity. If he were in the Grizzly Mercenary Corps, he would barely be a core member. However, it was this guy who forced Gu Ding's crew to flee. That was because Gu Ding's crew's current strength was not enough to challenge a Higher Deity. Any enemy at the level of a higher deity was a catastrophic existence for Gu Ding's crew.

Fortunately, the performance of the Titan battleship was far superior to that of other spaceships. After a few consecutive ultra-long-range space jumps, it finally left Wayne's jurisdiction and temporarily got rid of Wayne's pursuit.

"Gu Ding, there's someone you know in the Federal Government's recent 'training' operations." Neptune thought about it for a long time and decided to tell Gu Ding about Reid.

"An acquaintance? Wasn't the person in charge of the operation a TOP3 reserve member? I don't know anyone in the TOP3. Why would there be someone I know? "Gu Ding was a little surprised.

"Your acquaintance isn't a member of the TOP3. He's the person in charge of these operations." Neptune felt that Gu Ding was unlikely to guess who it was.

"The commander of the federal government headquarters? I don't think anyone I know works in the federal government. However, since you said so, it is very likely that you were promoted later. Furthermore, to be able to enter the headquarters of the Federation Government, you should have special talents. If that's the case, there are only two possibilities. One is the commander with the ability of a 'player' that we met in Dragon Soar Cosmic Nation, and the other is Reid. However, from your tone, I don't think this person is as simple as meeting me once. Therefore, the possibility of it being Reid is higher. "Gu Ding slowly analyzed the identity of the acquaintance that Neptune mentioned.

"I didn't expect you to be able to guess it." Neptune also realized that Gu Ding was usually careless and did not care about many things. However, if he was given enough time and details, his deduction ability was also very terrifying. It was just that Gu Ding usually did not pay much attention to the development of this ability.

"Neptune, is it really Reid?!" Gu Ding was also a little surprised. When he gave this speculation, he was actually not sure himself.

"Yes, Reid awakened the ability of a 'player' before he graduated. During the graduation test, he was discovered by the people from the federal government headquarters and was unearthed. It was not until a few days ago that he attended a meeting and was chosen by Marshal Bahrain. After further testing, he began to vigorously cultivate him. On the surface, these 'trainings' were said to be for the TOP3 to gain experience, but in fact, it was to train Reid. Reid's performance was also very outstanding. I expect that after this incident, other than Bahrain, there should be more higher-ups who will see his talent. He might even become a candidate for marshal in the future. "

"That's amazing!" Gu Ding did not expect Reid to be doing better than him even though he started so much later than him. Gu Ding was now just a small shrimp in the Cosmic Sea. If he encountered a big fish, he could only run away. On the other hand, Reid was obviously already a fisherman. Although he had not grown up yet, his future achievements were bound to be shocking.

"I'm saying all this because I want to tell you that Reid's current identity is already on the opposite side of us," Neptune reminded, "Moreover, he is a very dangerous person to us. Not only is he extraordinarily intelligent, but he also has the terrifying ability of a 'player'. More importantly, he grew up with you and knows you very well. "

"It's impossible for the Federal Government Headquarters not to know about your relationship with him. Therefore, you are also the biggest stumbling block on Reid's path to becoming the marshal of the Federal Government Headquarters. The Federal Government will only let him take the position of marshal if he sends you to prison or beheads you with his own hands. If you really encounter him in the future, I hope you won't go easy on him. "Neptune finally revealed his purpose.

Gu Ding did not refute Neptune's words. He just grinned again, revealing his neat white teeth. "Reid is a very good opponent, but I won't lose."

At this time, in a magnificent hall in the Federal Government Headquarters, three existences with the aura of ancient behemoths sat side by side in the hall. Below them stood a blonde teenager.

"Reid, you've been doing quite well these past few days. It seems that I was right about you." The first to speak was the white-haired Bahrain who sat in the middle.

"If it weren't for the opportunity given to me by the marshal and the support of the TOP3 genius powerhouses, these operations would not have been successful." Reid bowed slightly. After his hair was cut short and he wore the green military uniform, he really did look like a soldier.

"Reid, as far as we know, you grew up on Cerule?" The woman on the left finally spoke.

Reid knew who she was. She was one of the three marshals of the federal government, so he didn't dare to slight her. "Yes. Although I'm not a native of Cerule, I did grow up on Cerule," said Reid.

"Recently, there's a newcomer in the Cosmic Sea called Gu Ding. It's said that he's also from Cerule …" Angelina did not continue. She wanted to see how honest Reid was.

However, Reid knew that this kind of thing could not be hidden from the eyes and ears of the Federal Government Headquarters, so he had no scruples about it. "Yes, I grew up with Gu Ding, and we've always been classmates when we were in school."

"What do you think of Gu Ding?" Angelina continued to ask.

"He's actually very smart, but sometimes he's easily influenced by his emotions. However, those who come into contact with him find that he's very charismatic. He's a natural leader, and the people around him are unknowingly influenced by him. " Reid did not hide anything. What he said was the impression he had of Gu Ding. Although it was very concise, it was very clear about Gu Ding's character characteristics.

"I heard that he once invited you to join his pirate crew. Is this true?" In fact, the Federal Government did not have any concrete evidence of this because Gu Ding was alone with Reid when he said this.

Reid did not intend to hide anything. He shook his head and smiled. "Yes, he invited me many times. Ever since I was five years old, he would mention it almost every once in a while, and he would use all kinds of methods to encourage me. He wants me to become his military adviser. "

"Then why didn't you agree?" Angelina asked curiously.

"Everyone has different dreams. Gu Ding's dream since he was a child was to become an Interstellar Pirate. This has something to do with the environment he grew up in." Reid took a deep breath and then continued, "However, my dream since I was a child has been to become a senior general of the Federal Government. I want to do my best to make everyone's lives better."

"When you say 'everyone', do you mean your family and friends?" A strange look flashed in Angelina's eyes.

"It means the entire human race." When Reid said this, he clenched his fists slightly. He was a little worried that his words would be laughed at, but unexpectedly, the three people in the hall fell silent.

After a moment of silence, the middle-aged man sitting on Bahrain's right who had been silent all this time spoke, "I also have a question." "Before Gu Ding entered the Cosmic Sea, he was already very famous in Faye Cosmic Nation and Dragon Soar Cosmic Nation. You were still in school at that time. Did you regret your choice at that time? Did you ever think that it might be better if you joined Gu Ding's crew and became an Interstellar Pirate? "

Reid knew that although this middle-aged man looked much younger than Bahrain, he was actually the oldest of the three. He was also the marshal with the most power in the Federal Government Headquarters — Adams.

"I never regretted my choice. Becoming an Interstellar Pirate was never within my consideration. Gu Ding's achievements at that time were inseparable from his hard work. It was because of his hard work that I saw many of my shortcomings, and it allowed me to change a lot of my bad habits. That's how I became who I am today. "

"Then, let me ask you one last question. If one day Gu Ding becomes the biggest obstacle to achieving your dream, what will you do?" Bahrain spoke again.

"Gu Ding asked me this question ten years ago. My answer is still the same. I'll do everything I can to lock him up in the federal prison! "Reid gave his answer without any hesitation.
