Chapter 2180: Starry Eternity 17

Ranking?

What ranking?

On Holy Mountain Plaza, millions of giants were all bewildered at this moment, while the fastest-reacting Fifth Stage giants, as if realizing something, suddenly turned their heads and looked up at the ten-thousand-meter light curtain hanging in space.

Too far away, too many rankings.

In a short time, the Elder council that had first finished scanning the light curtain frowned, but found nothing abnormal.

The external light curtain changes every minute; although the top ten thousand teams have had many name changes, they are still mostly those top civilizations. Especially the top hundred rankings, only slightly shifted.

For a moment, with no problem seen, a Star-Destroying Level giant suddenly glared and shouted at Gu Yanshan:

"Gu Yanshan! Weren't you supposed to stay in Starry Eternity Space and guard it?!"

"No trespassing on Holy Mountain! What's with your appearance?! Get down here at once!"

Jumping levels to report is a major taboo, especially making a fool of oneself in public, which undoubtedly damages the dignity of the High Level. For the conservative giant civilization that still retains the pre-Apocalypse system, this is extremely intolerable.

Seeing four approaching, ready to take him down, the guards, Gu Yanshan felt both anxious and angry. For the first time, he thought, just like with Gu Siman back then, that these Elder council members were truly stubborn old fogies!

He knew that acting this way would violate clan rules, but he couldn't wait any longer! Those old fogies, accustomed to shutting off system communications, would have Gu Siman cold by the time he reported up level by level!

"Grand Elder! After the top ten thousand! Lin An's Creator Alliance has now surged up the rankings!"

Not having time to explain much, Gu Yanshan gritted his teeth, simply ignored the guards' obstruction, and shouted at the top of his lungs!

His voice echoed across the plaza; as the words fell, the entire Elder council and the Fifth Stage giants present all stared in shock, but in the blink of an eye, the Grand Elder, who had been angry with him, suddenly narrowed his eyes and became astonished.

"Let him come over!"

"Gu Yanshan! Explain clearly what's going on! What surged up? Isn't that human not captured, maybe even dead?!"

"Bang!!"

Without even slowing, Gu Yanshan fell like a cannonball onto the plaza, almost rolling and crawling, excitedly rushing to the Elder council's front.

"Grand Elder! Just three minutes ago, I happened to notice that Lin An's group's ranking suddenly rose; it's now at forty-two thousand and stabilized!"

"Your judgment... no, our judgment was wrong! Gu Siman didn't deceive us!"

"Forty-two thousand?"

The Grand Elder's expression shifted slightly upon hearing this; he instinctively projected a miniature ranking list before him, and the others likewise hurriedly flipped past the top ten thousand.

Although Gu Yanshan was somewhat disrespectful in his urgency, the Grand Elder, faced with such strange news, no longer cared about etiquette.

At the same time, the utterly despairing Gu Siman couldn't help but lift his head, a surge of indescribable excitement nearly making his whole body tremble!

"Forty-two thousand?! Lin An has surged up?!"

He just knew! He just knew he wouldn't misjudge a person!

Before Gu Siman's eyes could even turn red with excitement, wanting to ask Gu Yanshan a few questions, the purple-skinned giant Gu Lun, hailed as the next Holy Son, standing behind the Grand Elder, couldn't help but voice his discontent:

"What's with forty-two thousand? If I recall correctly, that Creator group started at forty-two thousand."

"With so many teams eliminated now, if they aren't dead, they could automatically take those spots, right?"

Summoned temporarily without knowing the prior situation, Gu Lun was full of impatience, utterly unaware why Gu Yanshan was making such a fuss. Especially the reactions of Gu Siman and others actually gave him a bad feeling.

However, contrary to Gu Lun's expectations, the Grand Elder, who always valued him, furrowed his brow upon hearing his question and merely gave him a cold glance.

"No! Gu Lun sir! Forty-two thousand was originally an individual's rank; now, after hiding the data, it's the whole team's! And Lin An's group had dropped to eighty thousand before surging back!"

"This means they weren't captured and must have taken out many Fifth Stage beings!"

Unable to quickly explain to Gu Lun, who had just emerged and barely understood the Starry Eternity War, Gu Yanshan had to hurriedly clarify.

But after a few seconds, the Elder council well-versed in Starry Eternity rules all grew solemn, staring fixedly at the ranking list.

"It really is forty-two thousand... forty-two thousand two hundred eighty-seven! This ranking already counts as mid-tier!"

Although the ranking fluctuates, as Fifth Stage beings who know the Starry Eternity rules, they couldn't fathom what this ranking actually signified!

However, unlike what Gu Yanshan imagined, the Grand Elder, with a single order, directly released Gu Siman.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the plaza unexpectedly grew heavy and somewhat off.

"Grand Elder? Gu Siman didn't deceive us, and judging by this, Lin An's group likely could push even higher! Look...!"

Unable to fathom what the Elders were thinking, and having previously been on decent terms with Gu Siman, Gu Yanshan, upon hearing such uplifting news, couldn't help but lift Gu Siman up and speak excitedly.

Before he could finish, a Star-Destroying Level Elder from the council shook his head at him and lowly rebuked:

"Why the rush? We still aren't sure what's going on; in this situation, how could we easily make a judgment?"

Gu Yanshan blinked at the words, then noticed the Grand Elder's complexion seemed somewhat off.

"Still not sure?"

"What else isn't sure?!"

Without giving him more thought, the Grand Elder swept a cold gaze over him and said in a icy tone:

"Move! Everyone follow me to Starry Eternity Space!"

"Gu Yanshan, explain every detail of what just happened! As for Gu Siman..."

The Grand Elder looked around, then softened his tone slightly and gave the order again:

"The judgment matter will be temporarily postponed; everything else, we'll discuss after we come out!"
