Chapter 2181

x one minute later.

Starlight Space.

Thirteen giant demon star-destroyers rushed into the Starlight Virtual Space at top speed, and suddenly a heated argument erupted.

Gu Yu Elder, Lin An, Creator Alliance, fifth stage, forty thousand.

God Ascendant, Gu Siman, Gu Man, investment.

Giant Demon clan.

Gu He, Grand Elder.

Gu Siman, Grand Elder, prestige.

Gu Siman.

It's not that I'm saying this; I think this matter is too suspicious. You say, how can he...

Enough!

He stared at the rankings, listening to the elders behind him split into three factions arguing; the Grand Elder finally lost his temper and rebuked them, his icy gaze sweeping over everyone.

The urgent matter isn't Gu Siman; we need to determine what's going on with this human named Lin An.

Gu Hong, Gu Siman, honored guest.

Gu Hong, Gu Yan Mountain, talking about exchanging parts.

"Are you sure the ranking first jumped twice consecutively, then suddenly surged? According to your analysis, although you don't know which team Lin An's group wiped out, they must have killed at least twenty Fifth Stage?"

Not knowing why the Grand Elder was so concerned about the changes in ranking, Gu Yan Shan took a deep breath and nodded heavily, utterly certain.

Gu Yan Mountain, the Grand Elder, the Lei Xi, and the Lei Xi civilization.

"You think about it, according to the previous performance of the Creator team, their rankings always jumped like this suddenly, so I even doubt whether these Fifth Stage were all killed by Lin An alone! He acted alone! He had an accident earlier, causing him to be temporarily unable to act."

Gu Yan Mountain, Grand Elder, thunderous momentum.

Gu Yan Mountain, Grand Elder, Lin An.

"It's hard to imagine what kind of Fourth Stage could kill at least twenty Fifth Stage in one go! Such strength, maybe not just top hundred, but possibly even top ten!"

However, listening to Gu Yan Shan's judgment, Gu Hong looked around, seeing either clansmen equally excited and stirred, or the other two sides filled with suspicion and full of questions they wanted to ask; Gu Hong took a deep breath and ultimately still firmly rejected this possibility.

"The second possibility you mentioned is too low; a team of twenty would certainly have a high-level Fifth Stage, even a peak existence."

Gu Hong, Gu Yan Mountain, Heavenly God Ascendant.

Gu Hong, Gu Yan Mountain.

The Gu Lun faction, Gu Suo, and a dark-purple star-destroying giant demon.

Gu Lun, Gu Suo.

"1, Lin An including his companions, their strength is indeed not bad. In a sudden ambush, relying on things like potions, they wiped out a team of ordinary strength. I think it's unlikely to be the Thunder Lizard, because the numbers don't match."

"Lin An is a Fourth Stage God Ascendant; killing him already grants extra reward, so a ranking surge is understandable. Perhaps he was merely being hunted, fought back and killed two, and his later ranking surge was because after fleeing to the Eternal Summit he killed an unlucky soul with a high score."

Gu Lun, Gu Suo.

Gu Lun, Gu Suo.

Seeing the Grand Elder not interrupting him, Gu Suo let out a cold chuckle, subtly nodded at Gu Lun, and then spoke word by word:

The second possibility is that Lin An is being treated as a 'fat sheep'—he was actually captured by the Lei Xi squad! To earn high points, they had him finish off a batch of fifth-stage beings. Soon they might take him to the Eternal Summit, kill him, and harvest his points. Think about it—how could a fourth-stage Lin An be kept alive until now?

Gu Suo, Lin An.

"I'm even afraid, afraid that this kid will later, for his own life, deceive us and invest again! After all, his 'performance' right now is so good!"

Gu Suo.

Gu Yan Shan, standing at the side, after listening to Gu Suo's analysis, his face changed drastically; he felt that the people on Gu Lun's side were being overly suspicious and malicious!

According to them, Lin An's rise to forty thousand rank is not only not proof of strength, but actually confirms it's a trap, that he's been caught! Although this is possible, he really doesn't want to believe it!

Gu Yan Mountain, Gu Lun.

Shut up!

Ignoring Gu Yan Shan, whose status was several levels lower than his own, Gu Lun, who had been privately communicating with their side, suddenly spoke up, turning to address the Grand Elder respectfully.

Gu Lun, Gu Hong.

"In my view, the second possibility Gu Suo mentioned is actually the most likely. Haven't you always taught me never to pin my hopes on others? Especially blind self-confidence, fantasizing about pies falling from the sky."

Gu Lun, Gu Hong.

"Forty thousand rank really isn't high; putting it bluntly, is there any difference between the current situation and before? We're still suffering heavy losses!"

Listening to Gu Lun openly doubt whether Lin An truly rose to that rank on his own, Gu Hong remained silent, hesitated a moment, and then still nodded.

He also hoped it was true, but also feared the hope would be in vain. Especially in his understanding, no matter how strong a God Ascendant is, they still need Fifth Stage cooperation.

Gu Hong.

Gu Hong.

"If that human truly possesses extreme strength, he will definitely continue to assault the rankings afterward; otherwise, everything stays as usual."

Gu Hong.

Just as he was planning to keep a few more people in the Judgment Space to watch, he saw that in the ranking before them, the ranking of Lin An's Creator team suddenly jumped again.

Huh?!

What is this?!

Thirteen High Level giants all froze, noticing the ranking change; for a moment, even the most doubtful side of Gu Lun couldn't help but stare dumbfounded.

: Contains ranking numbers only.

: same.

: same.

Jumping rhythm.

Like climbing, steadfast.

Never stop!
