At the entrance of a primitive tribe's stockade, Gu Ding's path was blocked by two strong men dressed in animal skins.

"Please leave. Our tribe doesn't welcome outsiders," the two men said in unison.

The two strong men were not weak. They were both fifth-rank true god-level powerhouses. If Gu Ding did not use soul attacks, his combat effectiveness was only similar to that of a fourth-rank true god-level. He might not be a match for these two men.

"I need to see your witch doctor." Of course, Gu Ding did not want to leave so easily.

"Our master witch doctor doesn't see outsiders. Please leave!" The two men looked at Gu Ding with even more vigilance.

"I really have something important to tell him. Please help me inform him …"

Before Gu Ding could finish, the man on the left interrupted, "Master witch doctor won't see you. If you continue to pester us, we'll have no choice but to do something to you."

The strong man could also see that Gu Ding's Vitality was not at true god-level, so he did not take Gu Ding seriously.

Gu Ding frowned slightly. Just as he was thinking about using hypnosis, a man walked out of the stockade's gate. It was a black-bearded man with eyes the size of copper bells. He was nearly five meters tall. Gu Ding could clearly feel the strength of his Vitality. It was infinitely close to a tenth-rank true god-level.

"Master!" The two guards quickly bowed respectfully when they saw the man.

The strong man glanced at the two men and nodded slightly at them. Then, his eyes fell on Gu Ding. After sizing Gu Ding up with a scrutinizing gaze, he asked, "You're Gu Ding?"

Gu Ding was stunned. His alias in this world had been Gullot since the beginning. No one knew his real name except Neptune, but the other party accurately called out his real name. Gu Ding could not help but be surprised at how powerful the old witch doctor was.

"That's right. I'm Gu Ding."

"I heard that you have a partner who came with you. To confirm your identity, tell me his name." The black-bearded strong man's gaze fell on Gu Ding's left wrist.

"His name is Neptune." Gu Ding said Neptune's name simply because Neptune had said before that the old witch doctor knew of his existence. There was no need to hide anything.

A strange look flashed in the black-bearded man's eyes, then he nodded at Gu Ding. "Come with me, Master Witch Doctor is waiting for you."

Gu Ding immediately followed, and the two guards did not try to stop him.

He followed the black-bearded man and passed through hundreds of caves. He stopped in front of a cave. "You guys go in!"

Gu Ding nodded and stepped into it without hesitation.

After passing through a tunnel that was more than ten meters long, Gu Ding finally saw the internal structure of the cave. It was not much different from the internal structure of an ordinary house. There was a living room, a bedroom, and it extended in all directions.

"Come in." After Gu Ding looked around, he heard an old voice.

At the same time, he smelled the scent of herbs coming from one of the rooms. He immediately walked towards the entrance of the cave.

An old man sat by a fire and looked up at Gu Ding with a smile on his face. Inside the room, there was a cloud of mist rising.

The old man was less than three meters tall and was skinny. In this world, he could be said to be extremely skinny. His brown skin did not have any luster and looked like dry tree bark. His skin was so thin that it almost stuck to his bones. He looked like he had lost a lot of Qi and blood.

Only his eyes were not cloudy like an old man's. They were like a baby's eyes, pure and flawless. However, his eyes were filled with a sense of wisdom that one could not help but admire.

The old man did not speak. He only pointed to a futon by the fire and motioned for Gu Ding to sit on it.

Gu Ding nodded and sat on the futon. He knew that the other party should already know why he was here, so he was not in a hurry to speak.

After sitting on the cattail hassock, Gu Ding suddenly felt his impatient emotions calm down. He looked down at the cattail hassock under his buttocks in surprise.

"This futon seems to be made of special materials. It has the special effect of calming the restlessness of the soul." Neptune immediately noticed the uniqueness of the futon. "There's no record of this plant material in my database at all. It should be from a native plant."

The old man did not say anything. He only smiled and picked up two cups made of bone. He took down the ceramic jar that was boiling above the fire. Then, he poured the green liquid in the jar into two cups and handed one to Gu Ding.

Gu Ding took the cup and sniffed it. It was indeed the same herb scent that he had smelled outside. The smell of the herbs was not unpleasant, and it had a grass-like fragrance. Gu Ding did not hesitate and immediately poured it down his throat.

The potion slid across his tongue. It was slightly bitter, but there was a strange aftertaste. As the potion entered his stomach, a faint aura spread out from his abdomen and spread in all directions throughout his body. In just a few seconds, it washed away every corner of Gu Ding's body. The exhaustion caused by his crazy cultivation was instantly swept away.

At that moment, Gu Ding had returned to his peak condition. He also noticed the change and looked at the old witch doctor with a face full of surprise.

"I know why you're here, my friend from the outside world." The old witch doctor slowly took a sip of tea and smiled at Gu Ding.

"Old grandpa, can you tell me the answer?" Gu Ding looked at her expectantly.

"I've been waiting for this moment my whole life." The old witch doctor took another sip of tea and looked at Gu Ding teasingly.

Gu Ding patiently waited for her to continue.

"You should know this world better than anyone else. This is just a gravel world in a land of space-time disorder." The old witch doctor's tone was full of emotion when she said this.

Gu Ding nodded. "Yes, I know."

The old witch doctor was immersed in her emotions and was silent for a moment. After a long time, she spoke again. "Can you tell me what the world you're in is like?"

Although the request was a little strange, Gu Ding did not refuse the old woman's request. He slowly told her about the Cosmic Sea he had seen.

The old witch doctor listened quietly and did not interrupt. Gu Ding only finished his story when the teacup in his hand was emptied more than ten times.

The old witch doctor nodded in satisfaction after listening. "I didn't know you had so much experience at such a young age. The reason you're so anxious to leave this world is because you miss your friends, right? "

"Yes, the three-year deadline is up in a few months. I don't want to disappoint them, and I don't want the pirate crew to disband." Gu Ding subconsciously clenched his fists.

"Well, I'll try my best to help you realize your dream, but you have to promise me one thing." The old witch doctor finally put down her teacup and looked at Gu Ding with a burning gaze.
