Chapter 1340

After Gu Ding displayed his terrifying combat prowess, everyone was completely convinced and no longer had any doubts about Gu Ding's first place on the Hidden Dragon Leaderboard.

The rest of the banquet went smoothly. No one caused trouble, which made Arthur, the host of the banquet, happy.

At the end of the banquet, Arthur stood up and knocked on the crystal glass in his hand, attracting everyone's attention.

"This banquet is held to celebrate Mr. Gu Ding and the other geniuses' good results in the Hidden Dragon Battlefield. However, I believe everyone came with something else in mind."

Arthur's words made everyone perk up their ears for fear of missing something.

"It's been a year since we've had a Sovereign in this plane. Now, it's almost time to choose a king … I'm just an inspector and I only have the right to recommend. I personally recommend Gu Ding, who is first on the Hidden Dragon Leaderboard. Of course, if anyone has any other good suggestions, feel free to voice them! "

Hearing Gu Ding's nomination, the other sacred grounds dismissed the idea of nominating someone else because no matter who they nominated, they could not compare to Gu Ding. Whether it was strength or reputation, no one in the younger generation of the entire dimension could compete with Gu Ding. Nominating him would only bring disgrace upon themselves.

"We also nominate Gu Ding!" Seven Star Sacred Ground Heaven Bites Temple was the first to stand up and express their support.

"Our Myriad Tribe Alliance also nominates Gu Ding!" Seven Star Sacred Ground Myriad Tribe Alliance expressed the same attitude.

"Our True Martial Hall also recommends Gu Ding!" Seven Star Sacred Ground True Martial Hall also expressed their stance.

"Our Judgement Hall also thinks that Gu Ding is the best candidate to inherit the throne!" Seven Star Sacred Ground Judgement Hall's Hall Master nodded.

Four of the Seven Star Sacred Grounds expressed their stance. Everyone looked at the Chief Elder of the God of War Palace at the other table — a white-bearded old man. As the Chief Elder, his actual power was actually greater than that of the Palace Master.

The white-bearded old man let out a long sigh. He knew that this was the general trend and could no longer be stopped. After a while, he nodded. "The God of War Palace has no objection to the recommendation."

After saying this, he seemed to have aged more than ten years in an instant.

To choose a king, the King's Hall and the five major Seven Star Sacred Grounds had to approve the recommendation at the same time.

Now that the six major forces had agreed and there was no other candidate to recommend, it meant that Gu Ding was already a reserve king.

All they had to do was send the recommendation list to the Union Government and have them verify Gu Ding's background. Then, they would stamp the list and send it back.

Gu Ding and the others also knew this procedure.

However, after everyone had expressed their stance, Gu Ding stood up and bowed to everyone to express his gratitude.

"Thank you for your love, but I'm an Interstellar Pirate, and I'm used to being idle. My personality is indeed not suitable for the position of Sovereign King. "

"As an Interstellar Pirate, I don't want my journey to end here. I want to explore further. I want to see how big the chaotic universe is. I want to explore all kinds of dangerous places with my partners, make interesting friends, eat all kinds of special food, and see all kinds of strange scenery … "

Many people were surprised to hear Gu Ding's refusal. Even Arthur did not expect Gu Ding to shirk his responsibility.

"Gu Ding, you …" Arthur was about to say something to change Gu Ding's mind.

However, Gu Ding waved his hand and said, "Don't rush, I'm not done yet. Although I'm not interested in the position of Sovereign King, I can recommend someone more suitable than me! "

"Someone more suitable than you?" Arthur was stunned when he heard this.

"I'm not the only one on the Hidden Dragon Leaderboard!" Gu Ding turned to look at Elizabeth, who was sitting on his right, with a warm look in his eyes.

"Elizabeth, fourth on the Hidden Dragon Leaderboard. In terms of strength and potential, she's not weaker than me. Moreover, she cultivates the Path of Emperor, so she's more suitable than anyone else to be a Sovereign King. I recommend her to be a Sovereign King! "

"Cultivates the Path of Emperor!"

Arthur looked at Elizabeth in surprise. That alone was enough to tempt him. Those who cultivated the Path of Emperor had the Emperor's Fate in their bodies. They could complement each other with the dimension and enhance the overall momentum of the entire dimension.

"Moreover, there's another reason!"

As Gu Ding spoke, a small red decorative box suddenly appeared in his hand. He turned to look at Elizabeth and opened the decorative box.

A purple-gold ring lay quietly inside the box. The pattern on the ring was extremely beautiful, and a purple crystal the size of a thumb shone dazzlingly under the light.

"Marry me!" Gu Ding knelt on one knee and proposed to Elizabeth.

Gu Ding and Elizabeth had known each other for a long time, but they did not know each other very well before.

Neither of them realized that there was a strange attraction between them the first time they met.

Elizabeth was the head of a country at that time, but she inexplicably liked to pay attention to an ordinary little Interstellar Pirate.

Gu Ding, on the other hand, felt that Elizabeth gave him a different feeling from other girls when the two of them went stargazing together.

They did not interact much after that, but they always appreciated each other until Elizabeth joined the pirate crew this time.

In the crew, everyone began to get to know each other better. Liliath and the others noticed that the two of them had a good impression of each other.

This time, Gu Ding did not have any intention of proposing at first because he did not know when Elizabeth would meet again after becoming a Sovereign King.

Until the two days after leaving the Hidden Dragon Battleground, Liliath and the others had been encouraging Gu Ding.

"There are some things that you might regret for the rest of your life if you don't do it now. You don't want to see Elizabeth with another man and holding someone else's child the next time you see her, do you?! "

Liliath's harsh words finally made Gu Ding hesitate for more than ten minutes before he finally gritted his teeth and agreed to the proposal.

Gu Ding asked Neptune to design the proposal ring and Robert to make it. Purple crystal was chosen because Liliath had heard that Elizabeth liked purple.

The Gu Ding Pirates did the whole thing behind Elizabeth's back, and Elizabeth was completely unaware of it.

She had been a little melancholy for the past few days because she did not know when they would meet again after becoming a Sovereign King. Moreover, she did not know what identity she would use to meet everyone, whether she would be able to return to the spaceship and continue traveling with everyone, and with Gu Ding's carefree personality, would he forget her …

Elizabeth's mind went blank for a moment when she saw Gu Ding's sudden proposal. She thought she was hallucinating.

However, when she looked down and saw Gu Ding's clear and slightly expectant eyes, her cheeks burned slightly.

"What are you hesitating for? Hurry up and say yes! " Liliath moved her head closer and whispered in Elizabeth's ear, then turned her head back and gestured to the others.

The rest of the Gu Ding Pirates immediately cheered, "Together! Together! Together! … "

Elizabeth's face turned even redder.

"When you finish cultivating the Way of Emperor, I'll marry you!" Gu Ding's eyes burned.

"Mm!"

With this promise, Elizabeth no longer hesitated. She stretched out her left hand and let Gu Ding put the ring on her ring finger …
