Chapter 813

After some discussion, Gu Ding dialed Reid's number back.

"Reid, we've discussed it. We can give you the keys, but we want fourteen places," Gu Ding said straightforwardly. "There are two other conditions."

"Go on." Reid knew that it was not easy for Gu Ding to give up the keys.

"First, Heavenly God powerhouses are not allowed to participate in the Burial Grounds exploration."

"Second, it belongs to whoever gets it. After coming out of the Burial Grounds, no matter what kind of treasure anyone gets, all participating forces are not allowed to raise any objections, and they are not allowed to snatch it."

Gu Ding's two conditions were, of course, beneficial to his crew.

The reason why he wanted to eliminate the Heavenly God powerhouses was because there were too many Heavenly God powerhouses in the Three Peak Tribes. If there were no such restrictions, more than ninety percent of the treasures in the Burial Grounds would be plundered by the Three Peak Tribes.

"I understand. I'll try my best. Moreover, these two conditions should not be difficult to achieve because other than us, the other tribes do not want the Three Peak Tribes to send Heavenly Gods to sweep the Burial Grounds. As for the second condition, most of the tribes will agree to it. " Reid agreed with Gu Ding's two conditions. "In addition, we will further improve the rules and try to give the advantage to the Human Camp."

"That's great. Where do we hand over the keys?" Gu Ding asked straightforwardly.

"Send me your current coordinates. I'll see if there are any strongholds nearby that I can hand over the keys."

After Gu Ding sent the coordinates, it only took a moment for Reid to respond. He sent Gu Ding a star map.

"In this star map, the yellow dot is a large-scale stronghold of our Federal Government. It will take you about a week to get there. During this week, we will make some internal arrangements and overall planning. Once we get the keys, we can announce to the outside world that the keys are in our hands. Then, we will invite other forces to discuss the Burial Grounds. But in this week's time, you will definitely be ambushed by some forces, so be careful. "

"I understand."

Gu Ding also knew that before the keys were handed over, the agreement between him and the Federal Government could not be revealed. Once the other forces found out, the competition would only become fiercer. This was because the key was in the hands of Gu Ding's crew's pirate crew and the Humans' Federal Government's hands. Once someone found out about this, they would definitely think of all sorts of ways to stop Gu Ding from handing over the key.

Gu Ding hung up the call with Reid, but he did not look relaxed.

The reason he chose to hand over the key was that Neptune had calculated that the success rate of the Gu Ding Pirate Crew keeping the key was less than one percent. Moreover, the major forces would go all out to stop the Gu Ding Pirate Crew. Even if they managed to hold onto the key in the end, they would not be able to open the Burial Grounds for the next three to five years.

On the contrary, if he handed over the key, even though he couldn't hog all the treasures in the burial ground for himself, he could directly solve the problem of being chased. Moreover, if they restricted the entry of Heavenly God powerhouses, once they entered the Burial Grounds, with their group's strength, there was practically no one who could be a match for them. There was a high possibility that they would also be the biggest winner.

…

More than ten universes away from the Gu Ding Pirate Crew, three giant silver spaceships were moving slowly in the void.

The hulls of the three silver ships were engraved with the image of a bearded man wearing armor and holding a large sword in both hands. There was also a halo above the man's head.

If anyone in the Cosmic Sea saw this logo, they would know that these three spaceships belonged to the Protoss. It was also possible that someone could identify more information through this logo — these three spaceships belonged to the Protoss' Holy Light Knights.

The Holy Light Knights was the Protoss' strongest means of conquest in the Cosmic Sea. There were a total of twelve armies. Although it was called an army, each army only had twenty-two members.

However, every ordinary member had the combat effectiveness of a novice Heavenly God, ranging from first to third rank.

In each army, there was a commander and a deputy commander. The deputy commander had at least the combat effectiveness of a fourth-rank Heavenly God, while the commander had the combat effectiveness of a fifth-rank Heavenly God.

Naturally, such a small team appearing here could not be strolling around. They had received orders to stop the Gu Ding Pirate Crew.

"I really don't know what Master Michael was thinking. He actually sent nine armies to capture that pirate crew. They're just weak humans. Our army alone can wipe out their entire tribe, "a man with short golden hair said somewhat disdainfully in one of the warships.

"There are a few people in that pirate crew who are stronger than you and me." A strong man next to him laughed loudly.

"Hmph, we're just ordinary members of the Holy Light Knights. There are at least hundreds of Protoss who are stronger than us. Any one of them would be enough to crush their entire crew. "The blond man was still full of disdain.

"Don't underestimate humans. The humans in this dimension are just a weak branch. In the higher dimensions, the human race is no weaker than us." An awe-inspiring voice suddenly reverberated throughout the entire cabin. The voice came from the leading spaceship.

"Commander …" Hearing this voice, the spaceship suddenly fell silent.

"Commander, the second army is also in the nearby area."

On the leading spaceship, a voice came from the cockpit. It was the commander's subordinate officer, responsible for the operation and other controls of the spaceship.

"Got it. Perform long-distance space teleportation. We'll go to another universe." Labudron frowned slightly. As the commander of the eighth army, he did not want to have a conflict with the second army.

The commander of the second army was the most arrogant guy among the twelve Holy Light Knights. This had also caused his entire crew to develop a domineering character. If they were in the same area as them, conflict would be inevitable. Moreover, the overall strength of the second army was indeed much stronger than Labudron's eighth army. In the event of a conflict, the eighth army would definitely be at a disadvantage. Therefore, although Labudron was reluctant, he decisively chose to avoid it.

"Ultra-Long-Distance teleportation formation!" The subordinate officer's voice was quickly transmitted to the other two spaceships.

Although they did not quite understand why, the other two pilots quickly obeyed the order.

The three spaceships formed a triangular formation with the commander's spaceship in the lead. In the next moment, the three spaceships disappeared.

"Labudron, you escaped quite quickly." More than twenty star fields away, there were also three silver spaceships. In the leading spaceship, a strong man looked at the image on the video projection and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

…

Twelve universes away, three spaceships suddenly appeared. It was the eighth army of the Holy Light Knights.

"Commander, we're already 12 universes away. I've interfered with the spatial fluctuations. The 2nd Army shouldn't be so bored as to waste time calculating our teleportation distance to catch up to us." The subordinate officer was quite experienced and had some understanding of the 2nd Army.

…

It was the third day since the Gu Ding Pirates had negotiated a partnership with the Federal Government. Gu Ding and the others had been intercepted several times.

It was not due to their whereabouts being exposed, but inevitable encounters. After all, the news that the Gu Ding Pirates had the key to the Burial Grounds had spread throughout the Grand Cosmic Sea. Almost everyone who encountered the Gu Ding Pirates wanted to try their luck.

However, it did not cause Gu Ding and the others any trouble. On the contrary, Lilliath felt that these guys added a lot of fun to the journey.

However, on this day, Neptune's warning was suddenly heard. "Everyone, be careful. A Protoss team has suddenly appeared in front of us. Most likely, they are coming for us."

"Protoss?" Gu Ding raised his eyebrows. This was the first time they had encountered an attack from the top three tribes since entering the Grand Cosmic Sea.

Although Gu Ding was not worried about how strong this Protoss team was, the fact that they were coming to stop them showed that the Protoss were very interested in the treasures of Heinoas' Burial Grounds. Getting the attention of the Protoss usually meant that there was a high chance that his group would also be targeted by the other two top tribes.

The top three tribes had an absolute advantage in the Grand Cosmic Sea.

Gu Ding could imagine that even if he handed over the key to the Federal Government, the Federal Government's subsequent negotiations would probably be very difficult.

"This team of Protoss is very strong. The weakest has Heavenly God-Level combat effectiveness, and the strongest is a fifth-rank Heavenly God!" Neptune frowned. He was also a little puzzled. These spaceships had appeared without any warning. Could it be that their formation had been exposed? Or was it just a coincidence?

The other members of the crew did not look too good either. Fifth-rank Heavenly Gods were basically the top combat effectiveness in the entire Grand Cosmic Sea. The Gu Ding Pirates had never encountered such an opponent before.

"Let's fight!" Gu Ding's eyes were full of fighting spirit. He had never encountered such a powerful opponent.

…

After some debugging, the spaceship's performance was completely stabilized.

The subordinate officer of the Eighth Army then activated the spaceship's detection system. As soon as the detection system was turned on, the detection system made a rapid beeping sound.

This sound was not a sign that the detection system was damaged, but a prompt that would appear when a suspected target was found.

This kind of prompt had sounded twice in the past few days. This was because the detection system would usually only distinguish the general shape of the frame from a distance. If the frame was more than eighty percent similar, it would sound a warning.

The subordinate officer did not think too much about it. He adjusted the comfort of his seat as he clicked on the video projection.

He looked up and saw the Gu Ding Pirates' Dream in the projection.

He was stunned for a moment, then immediately zoomed in on the Dream in the projection. At the same time, he brought up the three-dimensional appearance of the Gu Ding Pirates' Dream. After three minutes of repeated comparisons, he immediately sent a voice transmission to the captain in the main cabin.

"Captain, we've found the target!"

Labudron was stunned when he heard the subordinate officer's voice. He then appeared in the cockpit in a flash and stared at the video projection.

"I've just done a detailed comparison with the appearance of their spaceship. It's completely identical. This spaceship should be the Gu Ding Pirate Crew's Dream, "the subordinate officer said confidently.

"Looks like we're in luck." The handsome Labudron's lips curled up slightly.
