Surrounded by a group of people, Gu Ding burped after finishing his lunch. Then, he returned to the seat where the trial was held and sat down, patiently waiting for the outcome of the trial.

Neptune was aware of the outcome of the discussion between the Warden and the guardians, and the restriction in the private room could not stop him from probing.

However, after the three guardians arrived in the private room, they deliberately added a layer of restriction to prevent anyone from the outside from probing. The Greatest King's means were indeed extraordinary, and Neptune could not break through it. Therefore, he did not know what the three guardians had said to the Warden.

Originally, it was a fine of one million points plus a hundred years of confinement. However, the appearance of the three guardians made the outcome a little confusing. However, Neptune did not know why, but after the three guardians appeared, he had a bad feeling.

Gu Ding did not have to wait too long before the Warden and the eighteen guardians appeared again. Neptune found that the three guardians' auras were still there, but they did not show up. His sense of unease grew stronger.

Victoria and the eighteen guardians quickly sat back at the long table.

"Gu Ding, our final verdict is out. Your punishment is — capital punishment!"

Victoria's voice rang out, and everyone present, including the eighteen guardians, was stunned.

Gu Ding blinked twice in surprise. "What do you mean by capital punishment …"

"We will activate the Confinement Space in Death Mode, and then lock you up in the Confinement Space for a day. As for whether you can survive, it's up to you. However, since the establishment of Purgatory, the number of people who have been locked in the Death Mode Confinement Space has been less than three thousand, including three tenth-rank Greatest Kings and twenty-eight ninth-rank Titled Kings. None of them survived after entering. I can only wish you good luck. "

Victoria's words made everyone at the scene silent.

"Sir Warden, but …" Belinda stood up and wanted to speak up for Gu Ding, but she saw Victoria's warning look.

"This decision was made by me and the three guardians together."

Hearing this, Belinda could only sit down awkwardly and look at Gu Ding helplessly.

"I want to know why?" Gu Ding stood up as well. He had not expected such an outcome. Logically speaking, this was considered manslaughter at most. A hundred years of confinement was considered a very severe punishment, but now it had become a capital punishment, which made him a little confused.

"There are eighteen levels to the Gates of Purgatory. These eighteen levels haven't had a homicide case for over three hundred years. If it's just the sixth level, there hasn't been a homicide case for over five thousand years. Therefore, this time, they had to deal with it strictly to serve as a warning to others! We will broadcast the video of you being sent into the confined space to the other levels as a warning. " Victoria's expression was also very ugly. Obviously, this decision was not the result she wanted.

Gu Ding clenched his fists. He did not expect that Purgatory Gate would make an example out of him.

"Gu Ding, don't panic. The warden is just putting on a show for the others. There's actually another reason for sending you into Death Mode's confinement space. Come to the ninth floor of the cafeteria later, and we'll explain it to you face to face. "

An old man's voice suddenly reached Gu Ding's ears. Gu Ding was stunned when he heard it. He took a deep breath and slowly sat down.

The people who thought Gu Ding was going to make things difficult did not expect Gu Ding to just sit down. In fact, they also knew that even if Gu Ding made things difficult, he would not be able to do anything. Any one of the eighteen golden-armored guardians could easily suppress him.

The group of guardians who were originally tense and ready to attack at any time did not expect Gu Ding to swallow his anger.

"Before the punishment is carried out, I can give you one day to do whatever you want. The punishment will be carried out the day after tomorrow," Victoria said again. "That's the end of the sentence. You're dismissed."

As soon as she finished speaking, Victoria was the first to disappear. The golden-armored guardians also quickly left. Only Belinda walked toward Gu Ding. "What others can't do doesn't mean that you can't do it. Personally, I think you still have a chance of surviving. The most important thing is that you don't give up hope. "

"Thank you." Gu Ding did not expect Belinda, who had always been cold to him, to actually say such words of encouragement at a time like this.

Gu Ding thought of the old man's voice that had sounded in his ear earlier and walked toward the cafeteria's elevator. Many people looked at him in surprise.

When the elevator reached the ninth floor, the voice in Gu Ding's ear spoke again, "Room 1."

Following the instructions given by the voice, Gu Ding pushed the door open and entered Room 1.

An old man and two middle-aged men were sitting at the round table. They seemed to be waiting for him. The old man's voice must have come from the old man.

Gu Ding did not recognize the three old men, but Neptune was no stranger to them. "Gu Ding, these three are the guardians of Purgatory Gate."

Gu Ding was stunned when he heard that. He had heard of the three Guardian Rank Commanders before. It was said that they had more authority than the Warden in Purgatory Gate. Moreover, the three of them were suspected to have reached the level of a tenth-rank Strongest King.

"Come and sit!" Bygraves pointed to an empty chair at the round table and smiled at Gu Ding.

Gu Ding was even more confused when he saw Bygraves' smile. It was not normal for someone of his status to be so polite to him. Nevertheless, he walked to the round table and sat down. His gaze fell on Bygraves, who was leading the group. "Are you the one who spoke to me earlier?"

"That's right. My name is Bygraves. The bearded man next to me is Kaqipur. The other one who looks younger is Gabliai. The three of us are the guardians of Purgatory Gate," Bygraves introduced himself.

"The Warden said that the decision to sentence me to death was made by the three of you together. Why did you do that? I don't think I've offended any of you, have I? "Gu Ding asked.

"To be precise, the Warden did not agree with this decision. It was the three of us." Bygraves' explanation made Gu Ding understand why the Warden, who had sided with them a moment ago, would make such a decision the next moment.

"Boss, let me say it," the second brother, Kaqipur, interrupted. "You speak too slowly. It's making me anxious."

"Alright then." Bygraves was still working on his script and did not know what to say. When he heard that Kaqipur had volunteered, he simply let him explain the matter.

"Here's the thing. This Confinement Space is actually a very special place. Under normal circumstances, we can adjust the flow of time to punish those who have committed crimes. However, the problem is that under normal circumstances, due to the special characteristics of the Spacetime Rule, the Confinement Space cannot be cultivated. Moreover, the shortest period of imprisonment is a hundred years.

"A hundred years is nothing to others. However, with your qualifications, if you are imprisoned for a hundred years and your cultivation stops, it will have a huge impact on your future. Therefore, we decided to activate Death Mode. In Death Mode, although the entire Confinement Space is very dangerous, for some reason, the Spacetime Rule no longer affects your cultivation. You can still improve your strength inside. "

"But didn't you say that no one can survive Death Mode?" Gu Ding still remembered what Victoria had said. There were even tenth-rank Greatest Kings who had fallen inside, and more than one of them. If he went in, his chances of survival would be very limited.

"In fact, there were two people who survived in Death Mode. It's just that there are no official records, so the current Warden doesn't know about it. When the two of them were imprisoned in the Death Mode Confinement Space, one was a third-rank True God, and the other was a fifth-rank True God. When they came out of the Confinement Space, both of them had already become tenth-rank Greatest Kings. Later, it took them less than a hundred thousand years to break through to Heavenly God-Level, and they were released by Purgatory Gates.

"Of course, the two of them didn't stay in Death Mode for long, only ten years. At that time, no one expected them to come back alive. Moreover, because they were directly transported to the eighteenth floor of Purgatory Gates after ten years, those who were originally on the same floor thought they had fallen. Moreover, the eighteenth floor itself is extremely sparsely populated, and we deliberately sealed off the news, so not many people know about it.

"This time, we're going to let you stay in Death Mode for a year because once Death Mode is activated, the shortest choice is a year, and it can't be any shorter. Of course, Purgatory Gates can only stay for a year, and no one knows how long you've been in Death Mode. This is because once Death Mode is activated, the space-time rule will be completely chaotic, and it will no longer be orderly like before.

"The Confinement Space is actually a space-time acceleration space created by a powerhouse with supreme divine power who took a part of the space-time anomaly. Once Death Mode is activated, the rule will change from its original acceleration mode to the same nature as the space-time anomaly, and anything can happen.

"However, one advantage is that although the space rule has become chaotic, it is still an independent existence in the space-time anomaly, separated from the outside world by a layer of transparent film. Life forms from the outside world can't break in, and they can only self-evolve based on the original number of life forms. Moreover, every time the Confinement Space's Death Mode is activated, time will return to zero, and the evolution of all life forms will start all over again. "

"So, to a certain extent, whether or not you'll meet a powerful fellow depends on luck?" Gu Ding could not help but interrupt and ask.

"That's right. If you're lucky, you might not jump too far in time, and the original life forms won't evolve to become particularly powerful. If you're unlucky, you might jump far enough in time, and a Heavenly God-level life form might appear, "Katchipotle nodded.

"Second Brother has basically said everything that needs to be said. We'll give you three more amulets," Bygraves said as he handed the three crystal cards to Gu Ding. "Crush the crystal cards. They contain the effects of a full blow from the three of us. You can use them when you need to save your life. We didn't refine more because we didn't have enough time, and the three of us could only refine one each. "

Gu Ding did not hesitate to keep the three crystal cards in his pocket. "Thank you!"

"That's all we have to say. When the time comes, be careful. You might still be able to survive. "Bygraves only left after giving him a few reminders.
