Chapter 828

A day later, Lilliath was the first to come out of seclusion. Her Miniature World had been upgraded to five-star limit as she wished.

A day in the outside world was almost three years in the Cultivation Tower.

Although her Purgatory Divine Fire was overbearing and no less powerful than Gu Ding's Holy Fire of Destruction, its ability to absorb world power was worlds apart from Gu Ding's Swallow Heaven and Earth divine power. She had spent most of the past three years absorbing the World Force.

The next day, Huck, Biggie, Phaser, and Becca came out of seclusion.

Biggie and Phaser used the Blade Fire and Sword Fire obtained from martial arts respectively. Although their tempering ability was not as good as Lilliath's Purgatory Divine Fire, they were not far off.

Becca used Rune Fire, which was similar to martial arts fire. Although it was called a fire, it was essentially a special rune energy with powers similar to Divine Fire.

As for Huck, he used the True Murderous Cauldron, which was a special means of condensing murderous intent. When the murderous intent was strong enough, it could refine everything in the world. He was second only to Lilliath in completing the Miniature World upgrade.

Over the next few days, Ayesha and the others came out of seclusion one after another.

The Divine Fires and tinder in their bodies were purchased from various auctions along the way. They were all ranked outside the top ten and were not on the same level as the Divine Fires in Gu Ding's body. However, in the Cosmic Sea, it was considered a top-notch Divine Fire. Its refining effect was slightly inferior to Gu Ding's and Lilliath's Divine Fires.

Faust was the last to come out of seclusion. It was a week later when he came out.

Less than two days after Faust came out of seclusion, Gu Ding received another video call from Reid.

The Gu Ding Pirate Crew sat in a circle, and Gu Ding projected the video.

On the projection, Reid looked slightly tired, but there was a faint smile in the corner of his eyes. Gu Ding had known him for many years. Looking at his expression, he knew that the matter was done.

"You look a little like a thirty-year-old uncle, the kind who goes out in the morning without brushing his teeth or washing his face," Gu Ding teased.

"You don't know how it feels to have to deal with those bastards who have their eyes on the top of their heads every day, and for a month, for nearly 20 hours a day. I feel like my salivary glands have been secreting a lifetime's worth of saliva … "Reid complained to Gu Ding.

"If you're worried about your salivary glands, you can come visit me sometime. I'll get Dockett to transplant the salivary glands of a Foam Crab for you." Gu Ding pointed at Dockett, who was beside him.

"I'm very skilled. For the captain's sake, I can transplant it for you for free, but you'll have to find the foam crabs yourself," Dockett, who was at the side, said in all seriousness when he heard Gu Ding mention him.

"Foam crabs …" Of course, Reid knew this kind of predator that lived in hot swamps, covered its body with saliva, and could spit poisonous droplets to prey.

"I think that instead of worrying about your salivary glands, you might as well worry about your hairline. You should know that people with high IQs …" Gu Ding continued to attack him. "You should know that people with high IQs …"

"Even if I live to be a million years old, my hairline will still be fine. Don't curse me with your crow's mouth! You violent maniac who can't find a wife! "Reid immediately pointed at Gu Ding and retorted loudly.

"Aren't you single too?" Gu Ding raised his eyebrows.

"Well …" Only then did Reid remember that he had not only attacked Gu Ding, but he had also attacked himself.

"Let's get down to business," Neptune interrupted.

Neptune interrupted the two's banter. Ever since they were students, the two of them had never stopped bickering. If he didn't stop them, who knew how long they would continue arguing.

"Alright!" Reid tidied up his clothes out of habit before continuing, "The results of our discussion with the major forces are out."

"The Protoss, Abyssal Tribe, and Bug Tribe, the three peak tribes are each given 1200 slots. The Humans, as the owners of the keys, are given 200 slots, while the other first-rate tribes are given 100 slots. The remaining slots are all allocated to the second-rate tribes. Not every second-rate tribe in the Grand Cosmic Sea is eligible to participate, but on average, each second-rate tribe is given around ten slots, and the total number of people entering is ten thousand. "

"Your slots are all counted into the Humans' slots. You don't have to worry about that," Reid added when he saw Gu Ding's inquisitive expression.

Gu Ding nodded, but still asked, "What about the other conditions?"

"Heavenly Gods and above are not allowed to enter. This was unanimously agreed upon. However, when I saw the three top tribes agree so readily, I felt that things were not as simple as they seemed. We also found out that the three top tribes have gathered a large number of geniuses from all over the world. Moreover, the Protoss seems to have contacted the higher planes. It's possible that they are taking advantage of this loophole in the rules to invite true god-like geniuses from the higher planes to come back and help. The other two tribes should also know about this, and it's possible that they will do something similar. "

Reid's words were somewhat unexpected to Gu Ding and the others. They had thought that this would be a battle between geniuses from the basic planes, but now it seemed that the participation of geniuses from the higher planes had increased the unknown of their opponents.

However, Gu Ding and the others were not afraid because of this. Instead, they were even more motivated to fight.

"The geniuses from the higher planes are also participating. This competition seems to be more interesting than we thought." Gu Ding grinned slightly.

"Also, everyone agreed to your condition of not fighting for it during the meeting. However, even if you sign a written agreement, it's inevitable that someone will secretly snatch the spoils of war when you leave the Burial Grounds. As long as they do it cleanly, the other forces can't pursue it. Of course, with this restriction, they will have some reservations and not make a big deal out of it, "Reid continued.

"On the human side, how are the slots allocated?" Gu Ding could not help but ask.

"200 slots are actually not a lot because there are many human forces in the Grand Cosmic Sea. Apart from your slots, only the strongest forces can allocate the slots. Our Federal Government is led by me, with a total of 70 people entering. Then there's the Freedom Alliance, with 30 slots. The rest of the slots are divided among Divine Weapon Pavilion, Hermean Alliance, Hunter's Lair, Mercenary Guild, Wanderer Tavern, and several forces from the Underworld. "

"You're leading the Federal Government?" Gu Ding was a little surprised, but he immediately felt relieved. With a straight face, he said, "Be careful. There are many powerhouses with Heavenly God combat effectiveness in this trip to the Burial Grounds."

"Don't worry. When have you ever seen me do something I'm not confident about? You're not the only one who's grown in the past few years. "Reid laughed.

"No matter what, you have to be careful when you enter the Burial Grounds."

"Got it. I know what I'm doing. The Burial Grounds' opening time has also been set. It'll be in half a month. I'll send you the star map later. If there's any other news, I'll let you know as soon as possible. If there's anything, you can contact me directly on my private number. If no one picks up, they're probably in a meeting. You know we have a lot of rules here. I'll call you back when the time comes. Now, I have to go back and take a shower, then have a good sleep … "

After hanging up the call with Reid, Gu Ding was in a relatively good mood. Not only did he settle the negotiations with the Burial Grounds, but he was also happy that Reid had achieved his dream, and it was even better than what he had hoped for four years ago.
