Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 1173: Crystal Pillar rankings

The path ahead was like a sky ladder that snaked upwards, and one couldn’t see the end of it.

The stone steps were wide enough to accommodate two people. The crystal pillars on the side had dark patterns that looked mysterious.

Although the white crystals made this place look cold, the temperature wasn’t low. They were at the temperature that humans would feel comfortable with. There was even wind blowing from above. If there were sunlight here, one would feel refreshed.

Ye Zhongming didn’t hurry up the platform. He stood before the first step and sensed everything around him.

He was shocked to notice that his stamina and mental energy were recovering!

The stamina side wasn’t too obvious. After all, he had rested before he entered. But what about mental energy? He crafted a bunch of equipment to be merged by the Sauron Box, so he consumed some mental energy. Now, it was recovering at a speed that wasn’t slow for Ye Zhongming.

Was all this so that the evolved would calm down and enter a better state?

Did the Sky Monument arrange this?

What was the goal? For the upcoming test… Or rather, battle?

Ye Zhongming shook his head. Since there was no way to get an answer, he had to continue up the steps.
He stepped with his right leg.

There was a rumbling, and he disappeared on the small path.

………………………………………………

At the same time, many people did the exact same thing as Ye Zhongming. Many people realized they could only select one path.

Fortunately, there were enough paths. Everyone spread out and entered.

The people didn’t know what the Sky Monument was, and no one would give up on this chance.

Be it Ye Zhongming, Deacon Tong, or ordinary warriors.

The area under the Sky Monument calmed down, but many factions and names appeared on the largest crystal pillar, which was similar to the tag.

There were numbers behind the names. Most people were under ten. The larger the number, the higher your ranking. The top person was Five Ring Money’s Deacon Bai, whose number was 18.

Ye Zhongming was ranked outside a hundred. His number was ten, similar to many others.

This new information appeared silently, but as it was too obvious, you would see it if you raised your head.

No one noticed it now because there wasn’t anyone here. They were all either walking arduously or easily on the paths.

Very quickly, this calmness was broken. Someone suddenly appeared at an intersection and excaimed.

That person touched his chest and looked around in shock before heaving a sigh of relief.

He thought about it and bit his teeth. He wanted to climb back up, but a gentle and firm power pushed him.

He tried a few times, but the outcome was the same. This person went on a new path that no one had gotten onto, but the outcome was the same.

He tried for some time before realizing he had lost the chance to climb the path. Then, he noticed the crystal pillar recording the information.

He saw his name ranked last, and the number behind it was 9.

Others might not know, but he knew that the number represented the number of steps he took. He failed on the 10th step.

Last place. He smiled bitterly, but the regret reduced on his face. He sat on the spot as he realized that other evolved were out.

Those people calmed down and tried to reenter, but the path stopped them. They then noticed their rankings and their expressions weren’t too nice.

Obviously, those who were out first cleared the least steps, and their rankings were far behind.

But those people calmed down like the first person as others got out. The number of steps was basically between 9 and 12. The gap wasn’t huge.

“12 steps should be a barrier. None of us are six-star evolved. Those famous five-star people aren’t out either.”

A Five Ring Money person said that. He understood the various factions, and after observing those eliminated people, he gave everyone his analysis.

Their bosses were still fighting on the path, so they could only wait. With nothing to do, they gathered around that place.

Some of them were from the Nalan Battle Squad.

“What did you face on the ninth step? 12. Little Finger you got to the 12th step? What did you meet?”

“Look, someone reached the 20th step!”

“The rankings change quite quickly.”

“A few more are out, the remaining ones… Should be the top 100.”

Discussions continued. Everyone didn’t care about the factions they belonged to and discussed.

“As expected from Deacon Tong, the owner of Bright Water World, he is ranked first.”

“Oh my god, he is on the 22nd step; that is so quick!”

Everyone had been through the test and knew what he meant. All of them exclaimed.

“Zhang Hetai is second. When did this Resistance Zone boss come to Bright Water World? Didn’t only his son come?”

“Deacon Water’s rankings are increasing. Fifth! Seems like she would continue to rise!”

“Unfortunately, No Manʼs Zone fell in the dungeon; if not, I heard Wen Huan is very strong. Who knew how high he would be able to rank.”

“It is a waste, but who knows where No Man’s Zone fell? Who completed it?”

“I am not sure, but I heard it was City of Color.”

Nalan Battle Squad members looked at each other and were nervous. They were a group that held a huge secret.

But the Nalan Battle Squad members looked at the rankings to search for that guy.

32nd… He was on the 16th step.

Based on that guy’s strength, he shouldn’t be ranked there. Then, what was he doing?
