In the Heavenly Palace.
It was no longer as quiet as before. The lights were all turned on. Although there were fewer people than before the calamity, they were barely in place and began to work.
The few surviving Heavenly Soldiers held their weapons and patrolled around the Heavenly River.
However, if one looked closely, they would realize that this group of people, whether they were Heavenly Soldiers or Immortal Officials, were all glancing at the Southern Heavenly Gate from time to time. They looked absent-minded.
At this moment, the burly Juling Shen walked over slowly while carrying a white jade pillar. He said in a rough voice, "Don't gather here. If you gather here at the Southern Heavenly Gate and disturb the Deluxe Merit Saint, can you bear the responsibility?"
An Immortal wearing a red hat could not help but say, "Juling Shen, how can you talk about us like that? If I remember correctly, you've already walked around this pillar six times, right? What are you doing? Morning exercise? "
He wore a hat on his head and had a moustache above his mouth. He was also wearing a thick red shirt. He was slightly plump, and there was a yellow "food" character printed on his slightly arched stomach. He looked like a greasy and amiable fat man.
Juling Shen was instantly enraged. "Culinary God, shouldn't you be studying dishes in the kitchen? You're not leaving this early in the morning. You're dereliction of duty! "
The Culinary God stroked his mustache. "What about you? Hurry up and put this pillar on the Southern Heavenly Gate. What are you walking around for?"
At this moment, a Heavenly Soldier hurriedly came to report. Because he was too anxious, his helmet was a little crooked. He said urgently, "Stop talking! The Deluxe Merit Saint is here! "
"Everyone, get to your positions!"
Immediately, everyone's expressions turned serious. They began to spontaneously enter the script that they had prepared for themselves.
In the distant horizon, a golden light slowly appeared. That golden light was so dazzling, like the first light between heaven and earth. It slowly enlarged in everyone's eyes.
Gradually, Li Nianfan stepped on the Golden Merit Cloud and descended while surrounded by the Seven Fairies.
The Southern Heavenly Gate was still the same Southern Heavenly Gate. Half of it was already damaged, as if it had not been repaired in time.
Just as he landed at the gate, he saw a big guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He was carrying a pillar and walking over step by step. Then, with a "clang", he placed the pillar beside the Southern Heavenly Gate and silently wiped the few beads of sweat on his forehead.
Then, this big guy turned his head, "Ah, the Seven Princesses are back. This must be the Deluxe Merit Saint.... Juling Shen, nice to meet you...."
"Juling Juling Shen...
..... are............ are.............................................................
"The sage's eyes are truly as sharp as torches. You saw through it in an instant."
Juling Shen bared his teeth and smiled. Then, he raised his hand and picked up the giant pillar again. He began to fix it in place. His expression was extremely serious. He looked like he was working hard.
. Li Nianfan nodded and praised, "As expected of the Juling Shen. Your strength is indeed great."
"You flatter me. You have saved our entire Heavenly Palace. You are our great benefactor. This little god is only doing some rough labor. It is nothing."
The Juling Shen's lines had obviously been prepared for a long time. He said it with sincerity, "In the future, if you have any rough and tiring work, just call me. I don't like many things, but I like to do this!"
Li Nianfan felt his enthusiasm and smiled, "Thank you."
Friendly, what a friendly Juling Shen.
When the other Immortals saw this, they were speechless. If you want to survive in this world, you have to know how to pretend!
Sigh, what's the use of my face? It's a burden!
But at this moment, a red fat figure suddenly flew over, holding a steaming bun in each hand. He said in a concerned tone, "Juling Shen, you have been moving for the whole morning. You must be tired. Hurry and eat some breakfast to replenish your strength."
The Juling Shen was stunned for a moment, then quickly said emotionally, "Really … thank you so much!"
The Culinary God's tone was gentle, and the two of them were full of affection. "Hurry and eat, don't be shy."
Friendly, what a friendly Heavenly Palace!
Li Nianfan saw this, and his impression of the Heavenly Palace improved again.
At this moment, the Culinary God also "coincidentally" noticed Li Nianfan, and said respectfully, "This little god, the Culinary God, greets the Deluxe Merit Saint."
Li Nianfan smiled and said, "As expected of the Culinary God, your buns are not bad."
The Culinary God immediately said, "You flatter me, you flatter me. I have heard of the Deluxe Merit Saint's culinary skills. This little god really can't compare."
Li Nianfan felt that he had found a common language, and said, "Hahaha, if there is time, we can learn from each other."
The Culinary God immediately became excited, and was stunned by this surprise. He nodded repeatedly, "Of course, of course!"
The others looked at the Culinary God with envy. Just based on this sentence, the Culinary God should be rich. It was like winning the lottery, and he became rich overnight.
The Juling Shen at the side was even more envious. Why is he only learning from the Culinary God? Isn't it better to learn from me?
"Young Master Li, please come with us. Your residence is next to the observatory from last time." Hong 'er was in a red dress, and she took the lead. Her eyes glared at the group of immortals around her, telling them to behave.
Along the way, Li Nianfan saw a completely different Heavenly Palace, and the liveliness was completely different. From time to time, immortals would float by, and they seemed to be very busy. However, when they saw Li Nianfan and the others, they would stop and greet them in a friendly manner.
Moreover, not only had the Heavenly Palace become bright and full of people, but there was also background music, accompanied by a dense vision and a sound similar to the tinkling of spring water. It could really be said to be high-end and classy.
Not long after, they arrived at the observatory. Li Nianfan saw the additional building at a glance. The purple roof could be said to be completely different from the other Heavenly Palaces, and it was obviously more visually impactful. The three-story Heavenly Palace seemed to be emitting a halo. Most importantly, there were no other buildings around it, and it was at the edge of the observatory, so it seemed to be one with the stars in the distance.
It felt like … a building that stood in the stars, ethereal, mysterious, and noble.
In his previous life, this was equivalent to building a single-family villa in the heart of a national forest reserve.
How extravagant!
As he got closer, Li Nianfan could see the plaque above the Heavenly Palace, Basilica of the Prince of Merit.
He could not help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and said, "I remember that there was no building here the last time I was here."
Cheng Er smiled and said, "Young Master Li, this is the mansion that was prepared for you. Of course, it has to be newly built."
At the same time, the Jade Emperor and the Empress of the Empress came from afar, and smiled at Li Nianfan, "Young Master Li."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Li Nianfan clasped his hands, and then could not help but sigh, "You are too kind. What did I do to deserve you to specially build a Heavenly Palace for me?"
Expert, you think too highly of us. It should be what did we do to deserve to build a Heavenly Palace here.
This was completely built for you by the Heavenly Palace!
The Empress of the Empress smiled and said, "Young Master Li, you are the Saint of Merit and Virtue, and most of the credit goes to you for the restoration of the Heavenly Palace. This Heavenly Palace is completely deserved."
Li Nianfan still shook his head, "No, it's not appropriate."
The Jade Emperor's heart skipped a beat, and his face turned pale. He quickly asked nervously, "Young Master Li, are you dissatisfied with something?"
"This place is very good. It's because it's too good that I don't deserve it." Li Nianfan glanced at Basilica of the Prince of Merit, paused, and continued, "Actually, I was only able to become the Saint of Merit because of luck. Helping the Heavenly Palace was also a result of a freak combination of factors. Your Majesty and Your Majesty, there's really no need for you to do this."
The Jade Emperor and the Empress of the Empress of the Empress looked at Li Nianfan's sincere expression, and their mouths moved, but they did not say anything.
If we didn't know that the Saint of Merit was forcefully taken from the Heavenly Axiom on a whim, and if we didn't see with our own eyes that the mantou dolls you created were actually innate spirits, we would have believed you.
Expert, you're too good at acting. If you're like this … it's very difficult for us to continue acting!
Sigh, accompanying an expert is indeed not an easy job. It's too much of a test of one's mental state.
The Seven Fairies were also anxious. They panicked and did not know what to do.
"That … Young Master Li." At this critical moment, the Jade Emperor braced himself and said, "You're the Saint of Merit. This is already a fact. No matter what, you deserve the title of the Saint of Merit. Please don't reject it anymore."
"This …" Li Nianfan looked at the Jade Emperor with red eyes. His sincere expression made it impossible for anyone to reject him. He could only nod and say, "Alright."
Then, he shook his head helplessly and sighed, "You guys … are making me a little embarrassed. I have the title of the Saint of Merit, but I can't do anything. I only want the Saint of Merit to play with. It's useless to others. Look at Juling Shen. At least he can move pillars. I have nothing but merit. I'm just a mortal. I can't do anything."
The Jade Emperor and the others looked at each other and saw a bitter smile on each other's faces. The corners of their mouths twitched. 'Listen, is that something a human would say? He's killing us! '
However, no matter what, it was a great blessing for the expert to agree.
Not far away, Juling Shen, who had just repaired the Southern Sky Gate, rushed over. He wanted to be closer to the expert so that it would be easier for him to lick him.
When he suddenly heard the expert call his name, his entire body shook. At first, he was in disbelief and panic. Then, he was ecstatic. He grinned widely and his smile spread to the back of his ears.
"The expert called my name? The expert must be praising me! At least the expert remembered my name! Good news, this is good news! I, Juling Shen, will reach the pinnacle of my life from this moment onwards. "
The Jade Emperor did not dare to be negligent. He straightened his face and said solemnly, "Today, all the heavens bear witness that Mr. Li Nianfan is the first Saint of Merit in history. He is the Saint of Merit and should be respected by all living beings!"
Buzz!
As the Jade Emperor finished speaking, the Seal of Heaven and Earth between his eyebrows flashed. A line of words shot out and shone into the sky. Then, it disappeared into the sky. It was as if an illusory image of an imperial edict had appeared.
Li Nianfan looked at this scene and could not help but be amazed. The imperial edict created by the Jade Emperor was much more advanced and knowledgeable than those in the mortal world.
'I'll be an official from now on, right?' 'And it seems like I'll be an official with a higher status?'
The Jade Emperor clasped his hands and congratulated, "Hao Tian greets the Saint of Merit!"
The surrounding Immortals did not dare to be negligent. They said respectfully, "Greetings, Saint of Merit!"
"That's enough. It's just a title. Only a capable Saint of Merit can be considered a real Saint of Merit."
Li Nianfan waved his hand speechlessly. However, in the next moment, he raised his eyebrows. A golden light appeared in his eyes as he stared at the Jade Emperor. He could not help but let out a soft gasp.
The Jade Emperor's body tensed up. He said anxiously, "Young Master Li, what … what's wrong?"
"Don't move." Li Nianfan said. Then, he raised his hand. Boundless Golden Light of Merit suddenly burst out from his body. The rich golden light instantly engulfed the area like an ocean. It blinded everyone's eyes. They could not help but hold their breaths.
This feeling was like a beggar suddenly seeing a hundred million in cash. This scene was unimaginable even in their dreams.
To be able to see so much merit in this lifetime, it was worth it!
Then, under everyone's stunned gaze, Li Nianfan raised his hand and pointed at the Jade Emperor.
Suddenly, the merit flowed like water towards the Jade Emperor. A portion of it flowed towards the Empress. An even smaller portion flowed towards Ziye and Cheng Yi who were equally stunned.
The four of them looked at the merit that was slowly approaching them. They could only feel their mouths dry. Their hearts started to beat at their fastest speed. The blood in their bodies stopped flowing.
Merit!
Ahhh, the expert has rewarded us with merit!
Ziye and Cheng Yi were so excited that they did not know what to do. Their minds were spinning and screaming.
Happiness came too suddenly!
At this moment, the Empress's anxious voice could be heard, "Quick! Stop daydreaming. Quickly use the merit to refine your treasure! "
Ziye and Cheng Yi finally snapped out of their daze.
Ziye quickly removed her hairpin and transferred the merit to Cheng Yi. Cheng Yi transferred the merit to the orange ribbon on her body that was fluttering in the wind.
The Jade Emperor held a three-foot-long sword. The Empress held a golden bracelet and let the Golden Light of Merit surround it to refine it.
They were extremely excited. Even with their state of mind, they were so excited that their faces turned red. They could not hold back their smiles.
The expert was too awesome. He rewarded merit without saying anything. He was capricious. This was capricious!
Merit was too important and had many effects. Aside from the huge amount of merit needed to become a saint, there were three most common uses. The first was to increase one's magic power. However, this was the most wasteful and would only be used as a last resort. That was because it was too difficult to obtain merit while there were many ways to increase one's magic power.
The third was to fuse it with a weapon!
This method was the most cost-effective, and it was also the fastest. For cultivators, transcendent artifacts were no different from their second lives. They were too important. Once merit was infused into the transcendent artifact, the power of the transcendent artifact would be greatly enhanced, and it would become a merit transcendent artifact. If there was enough merit, it could even become a merit transcendent artifact, and its power would be incomparable. It could even kill people without karma! This was extremely abnormal!
The Nether River Patriarch's Avici and Yuantu swords were both merit transcendent artifacts. They could kill people without karma, and were feared by others.
Not long ago, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother were defeated by the Nether River Patriarch because their transcendent artifacts were inferior. Now … their transcendent artifacts could finally be greatly improved. How could they not be excited?
The surrounding immortals saw this, and their eyes almost popped out of their sockets. They were almost drooling.
Li Nianfan naturally saw everyone's reaction. However, there was a complicated look in his eyes.
He felt a little guilty.
Actually … the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother deserved these merits. After all, they had rebuilt the Heavenly Palace and should be rewarded by the Heavenly Palace. However … because the Heaven and Earth Merit had become his Golden Finger, he had to personally reward them.
In other words, he was just returning their belongings to them, but they had to be grateful to him. Then … if he wanted to, he could directly deduct their merits …
Holy shit!
I'm such a pervert as the Deluxe Merit Saint …
