The more excited the Jade Emperor and Empress of the West were, the more guilty Li Nianfan felt.
'What's our slogan? 'No middlemen.'
Obviously, the Jade Emperor and Empress of the West did not know about this slogan. Otherwise … they would have made a fuss.
'Oh well, we're friends after all. I won't deduct …'
Soon, the strange phenomenon subsided. However, it took a long time for everyone to calm down. The Jade Emperor and Empress of the West were fine, but the group of people who did not receive any merit were even more excited and motivated! The role models were right in front of them. Of course, they were motivated!
The Empress of the West and the other three thanked him sincerely. They were so excited that their voices were trembling. "Thank you, Deluxe Merit Saint."
Li Nianfan waved his hand and smiled. "Hahaha, no need to thank me. You guys rebuilt the Heavenly Palace. This is a reward you deserve."
Li Nianfan was just speaking the truth. However, it sounded different to everyone else.
'What is magnanimity? This is magnanimity. He gave us merit and yet he said it so casually. Who else in this world can do that?'
They finally understood why the expert would take the Heavenly Merit Points for himself. Was he really doing it for self-protection? Obviously not. He was doing it for everyone!
The Heavenly Path of the Forbidden Land disappeared. The merit did not fall for a long time. The expert could not stand it. He took it for himself so that he could distribute it to everyone! 'We … we don't deserve it!'
The Jade Emperor and Empress of the West looked at each other. They saw the gratitude in each other's eyes. They said solemnly, "Young Master Li, there's no need to say more. We understand!"
Cheng Yi chimed in, "Mister Li, it's rare for you to bestow such a precious merit upon us. It's only right for us to thank you."
"Cough, cough. There's no need for that."
Li Nianfan touched his nose and said, "Actually, I'm not trying to show off. I just sensed that this merit is useless to me. Even if I give it out, I can still regenerate it. It's a waste to keep it. If it's possible, I'm even willing to give each of you a set."
'Regenerate?
What did that mean?
Everyone was dumbfounded. It was clearly a very simple sentence, but their brain capacity couldn't take it at all. Their minds went blank, and their hearts beat faster and faster. They almost suffocated.
Too cruel, too unreasonable!
Facing such a situation, what should we say? What expression should we adopt to deal with it?
Everyone felt their faces stiffen. They could no longer control their facial expressions.
This was Heavenly Dao Merit! The Heavenly Merit was something that even the Sages had to be careful of. How did it become … renewable in the hands of the expert?
So … it was my weakness that limited my imagination.
Just when everyone was completely at a loss for words, Third Princess Huang 'er blinked her eyes and shyly asked in anticipation, "That … Sage, can I have merit?"
Li Nianfan looked at her and shook his head. "I'm sorry, no."
"Huang 'er, don't mess around!" The Queen Mother scolded. "What do you think merit is? Only those who have made great contributions to Heaven and Earth can obtain it! It's something that can only be found by chance! "
The Jade Emperor was shocked. He quickly said in a low voice, "Huang 'er, don't ask such questions in the future!"
If the expert is willing to give us merit, then it's ours. Do we have to be polite? Don't be immature!
"It's alright." Li Nianfan coughed softly. He looked up slightly and began to survey the crowd. However, just as the Queen Mother said, not everyone could have merit. Helping an old lady cross the road obviously wouldn't be considered merit. The main thing was its significance to Heaven and Earth. Li Nianfan couldn't give it away even if he wanted to.
The Deities' hearts skipped a beat. They quickly stood at attention, anticipating the outcome.
At this moment, Li Nianfan raised his eyebrows slightly. He smiled and said, "Juling Shen, come here."
"Me … Me?" Juling Shen was obviously stunned. When he saw Li Nianfan nodding, he walked over anxiously. His huge body strode like a cat, trying to control his light steps.
He said blankly, "Saint, do I have merit too?"
Li Nianfan didn't say anything. He raised his hand and pointed. A golden merit thread slowly floated towards Juling Shen. Its thickness was obviously not as thick as the Jade Emperor's. It was even thinner than Ziye's. However … merit was merit. The other Deities' eyes were wide open. They were green with envy!
Juling Shen's eyes were as big as copper bells. He was so excited that he couldn't control himself. He was dizzy from the pie that fell from the sky. He quickly took down the two axes that were tied to his waist and used merit to refine them.
His axes were just ordinary Acquired Spiritual Treasures. However, after the merit baptism, all aspects were improved by more than ten times. Although they couldn't be compared to Acquired Absolute Treasures, they were not weak among Acquired Spiritual Treasures.
Juling Shen looked at his two axes. He was laughing so hard that his chin was about to fall off. Fortunately, he knew the severity of the situation. He calmed himself down and said respectfully, "Thank you, Deluxe Merit Saint."
Li Nianfan waved his hand casually. "You did good by repairing the Southern Sky Gate. No need to thank me."
Repairing … the Southern Sky Gate?
That counts?!
Even the Jade Emperor was stunned. His eyes were wide open. What the f * ck! If I had known, I would've repaired it too. This is such a free gift!
Juling Shen smiled and patted his chest. "Lord Saint, I'm not bragging. I'm a professional when it comes to this! If you have any hard work in the future, just let me do it. Don't be shy. Don't be shy! "
Li Nianfan nodded. Then, he turned around and looked at Basilica of the Prince of Merit. He said, "I didn't expect that the title of Deluxe Merit Saint would give me such an ability. Interesting. It seems like I'm still useful."
The Jade Emperor wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. The expert really likes to joke. He smiled and said, "It's not just useful. It's crucial!"
"Then your Heavenly Palace …"
The Jade Emperor quickly interrupted and made an inviting gesture. "Lord Saint, you must be joking. This is your Heavenly Palace. It deserves it. Please, please!"
"Thank you, Jade Emperor." Li Nianfan cupped his hands and walked up.
Li Nianfan would be lying if he said that he didn't like the Heavenly Palace. This was the residence of the Immortals. Standing here, one could overlook the entire sky and land and enjoy the Immortals' happiness.
Entering Basilica of the Prince of Merit, the layout could only be described with one word. It was noble and grand.
Everything was prepared. One could move in immediately. It was located in the north and faced the south. The ventilation was excellent. There was also the Heavenly River passing by. Through the window, one could see the vast chaotic world outside. There was even a viewing pavilion at the top. One could foresee that at night, the stars would shine brightly and it would be unbelievably beautiful.
In his previous life, everyone wanted a room with a view of the lake or the sea. Then, should this be … a room with a view of the stars? Or … a room with a view of the Heavenly River?
Nanna and Long'er had already started playing in Basilica of the Prince of Merit.
The Jade Emperor tactfully didn't disturb them any further. After bidding farewell, he left with the Immortals.
After walking out of Basilica of the Prince of Merit, the Jade Emperor and Empress of the West let out a long sigh of relief. They could finally vent their excitement, anxiety, and shock.
The Jade Emperor said, "Phew … The expert finally took over Basilica of the Prince of Merit."
Empress of the West asked, "Jade Emperor, can the title of Deluxe Merit Saint give merit to people?"
"Hehe, you didn't even think about this question. Where did your usual comprehension go?"
The Jade Emperor smiled bitterly and shook his head. Then, he said, "How is that possible? Deluxe Merit Saint is a title that we specially created for the expert. It has never been used before. How can it be so powerful? "
"Then, then …"
"Think carefully about what the expert said before."
The Jade Emperor paused and reminded, "The expert said that his merit doesn't benefit others. He feels that his title of Deluxe Merit Saint is just a title. It's not worth it."
Empress of the West's pupils dilated. She said with a trembling voice, "So … this function was purely given to himself by the expert?"
"What do you think?" The Jade Emperor's voice was filled with shock. "With the expert's realm, if he wants the Deluxe Merit Saint to do something, it's just a thought. Does he need a reason?"
Empress of the West couldn't help but nod. "You're right."
Cheng Yi pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, Empress, I think it's because our actions made the expert happy. That's why he's willing to give us a chance to earn merit."
Empress of the West and the Jade Emperor were deep in thought. "Oh?"
Cheng Yi analyzed, "The expert must be very satisfied with the title of Deluxe Merit Saint and Basilica of the Prince of Merit. However, he's very particular about the word 'right'. That's why he thought that this title can't be just a title. Since he's in a good mood, he simply gave this title an ability. At the same time, it's a reward for making him happy."
"That's … reasonable!"
The Jade Emperor was enlightened. "The expert does things according to his heart. To put it bluntly, it's to make him happy. It's also a coincidence that we're able to reach this stage. Luck, it's really luck! If we give up halfway, we might miss out on this great opportunity. This should be a test from the expert. "
Empress of the West took a deep breath and said, "No matter what, the expert's actions are a great gift to us. With the merit he's bestowed upon us, we should work harder! The Heavenly Palace's construction needs to be on track as soon as possible. We also need to restore order to the Three Realms as soon as possible. Only then will the expert be more satisfied. "
The Jade Emperor nodded. "That's right. The Heavenly Palace has just been built. There's still a lot to be done. We must all work hard!"
