Merit — — -
What's the point?
Gu Qing Shan silently asked in his mind.
But no crimson text appeared in the void of space.
The highest echelon didn't answer his question.
The echelon was still in slumber, only able to occasionally appear to give some basic explanations.
If that's the case, I can only — —
Gu Qing Shan took out the Book of Seabed and repeated his question.
The Book of Seabed replied: [This is a very important question, I can only tell you the current usage of Merit, you will need to pay me one day's worth of income]
"Then it will be 3000 years and 2 days?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
[Correct] the Book of Seabed replied.
"Deal" Gu Qing Shan happily agreed.
I already owe him so much, one more day doesn't matter.
Lines of common human language appeared on the Book of Seabed:
[The 5 Elements are in chaos, the 10 spirits become demons, the human realm will rise, the Samsara begins]
[When a Saint's Chosen accumulates a certain amount of Merit, they can awaken their Samsara Divine Skills and cause them to change]
Samsara Divine Skills?
Gu Qing Shan's gaze turned cold as he quickly recalled this.
The first step of the Samsara Clash for Supremacy is to reach the realm of unpredictability.
Once they reach this realm, each Saint's Chosen will be able to turn one of their Thaumaturgies into a Samsara Divine Skill.
— — indeed, the Samsara Divine Skills!
At the time, I gave up on the Huang Quan realm and chose the Wraith realm, fusing the top-level Lightning Thaumaturgy [Dreamjolt] with the unimaginable ultimate hex [Ghost of the Past] to form the Wraith realm Divine Skill: [Mountain Demon].
At the time, the UI had notified me that I was the only Saint's Chosen of the Wraith realm, and this Eye Technique was a Divine Skill formed with the help of the Wraith realm's Origin.
In the current situation, the Saint's Chosen's powers are all sealed, so if I can awaken the Wraith realm Divine Skill [Mountain Demon], I'll be invincible!
Any other Saint's Chosen who awakened their Samsara Divine Skills would probably have the same effect.
Gu Qing Shan had another thought.
— — strange.
That Magistrate is clearly a Saint's Chosen, why didn't he use Merit to awaken the original Samsara Divine Skills?
While she was thinking, another line of common human language appeared on the Book of Seabed:
"Every Saint Chosen One needs a hundred Merit Points to awaken the Six Divine Skills."
"This is a secret. I can't tell you so easily. If I do, I'll use up all my merit points."
One hundred points!
Gu Qing Shan was speechless.
Killing a Three-Maned Lizard only gave one merit point.
If it weren't for Ye Fei Li, as a Saint's Chosen whose strength was sealed, how much would I have to pay to kill that lizard?
— — I can't kill it.
He might even lose his life.
It was only with Ye Fei Li's help that he was able to dodge the Three-Nightmare Lizard's attack and kill it in the nick of time.
I have worked so hard to get this little bit of merit, and now you're asking me for 100 merit points?
In other words, he would have to kill a hundred Lizards of Three-Mai.
This was an impossible task.
However, only by completing this impossible task could the Godly Skill be awakened!
No wonder the county magistrate couldn't beat him.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly became alert.
At a glance, there were actually a lot of Chosen Ones who were about to be eliminated at this stage.
— — only those who could awaken the Six Divine Skills would be qualified to kill even more powerful monsters, quell the chaos of the 5 Elements, and stabilize the human realm.
As time passed, the strong would become stronger, while the weak would remain stagnant.
For example.
If the county magistrate received 1000 merit points and awakened the Six Divine Skills, what chance would I have to win against him?
I'll probably be killed by the county magistrate as soon as I show my face!
Aside from that, there was another very important point.
I found out about this secret through the Soul Artifact of the Four Saint Pillars — — – the Book of Seabed.
— — how many Chosen Ones don't even know about this secret?
After all, anyone who knew about this secret would have to use up all their merit points if they wanted to tell others.
This meant that the Samsara doesn't allow anyone to casually talk about Merit.
— — and no one would talk about it!
Gu Qing Shan's back was suddenly covered in a layer of cold sweat. He silently thanked his lucky stars and sighed deeply.
"… Who would've thought, it's already begun" he muttered.
"What is it?" Ye Fei Li asked.
"It's nothing" Gu Qing Shan shook his head.
The Samsara had been restarted.
The human realm had yet to be decided.
But the Samsara Clash for Supremacy had already begun.
It was using an extraordinarily harsh method to eliminate the majority of Chosen Ones, leaving only the truly powerful seeded contestants.
The entire process was silent, cold, and cruel.
Only the most outstanding few would be able to establish a strong advantage from the very start.
These people who awakened the Divine Skills would wield the power of life and death, commanding all other Chosen Ones.
The other Chosen Ones, on the other hand, were still in the process of being muddle-headed.
With that in mind, Gu Qing Shan completely calmed down.
Just as Li Yang said, I'm already too late, if I don't catch up right now, I won't have another chance.
I need to hurry …
While he was thinking, Ye Fei Li suddenly asked: "What should we eat tonight?"
Gu Qing Shan regained her senses and asked: "You're hungry?"
Ye Fei Li rubbed her stomach and smiled: "I'm not really hungry, it's just that it took me a long time to wake up, so I want to eat something"
Gu Qing Shan checked her bag of rations and said: "I have a few biscuits here, let's split them between us, after we eat, we'll go kill the next monster"
"So soon?" Ye Fei Li was surprised.
"Hm, I've already arrived at the human realm a bit late, so I'm a lot behind the others" Gu Qing Shan replied.
As Ye Fei Li was about to say something, her expression changed.
Gu Qing Shan also noticed and drew her Blade.
The two of them stood at the middle of the mountain, looking down at the creek below.
There was a small stone path that led through the shallow creek, connecting to the main road leading to the county.
A horse came down from the main road, riding on top of which was a middle-aged man wearing an official's uniform.
The middle-aged man carried a spear on his back, holding the reins in his hand as he urged the horse forward, heading towards the small path.
"He must've been alerted by the commotion of the battle just now — — seems like you've committed the crime of killing an official"
Ye Fei Li teased him.
— — the other party was only one person, and they were separated by half a mountain. As the saying goes, a horse running away from a mountain that can't be seen clearly, so it would take a bit more time to climb up the mountain.
Not to mention, the people on this side are Gu Qing Shan and I, both of us are veterans, so killing a lone pursuer shouldn't be a problem.
Gu Qing Shan glanced at the man a few times, only to see that he had also noticed the two of them.
The man reached his hand out to grab the spear on his back.
Gu Qing Shan's expression changed and immediately said: "We're leaving! Quickly! "
Ye Fei Li was a bit surprised and asked: "How do we leave?"
"As fast as we can, run for our lives!" Gu Qing Shan shouted.
While they were talking, the man had already taken out his spear.
The pair of skeletal wings on Ye Fei Li's back abruptly spread open.
He grabbed Gu Qing Shan, leapt into the sky, and flew away like a bolt of lightning.
In just a few moments, the two of them had already gone far away.
Seeing that, the middle-aged man had a strange expression on his face.
"You're quick to act, but do you really think you can run away?"
He pointed his spear forward.
An invisible presence rose from his body and slowly infused into the spear.
On the other side.
Ye Fei Li and Gu Qing Shan were quickly escaping, covering several hundred miles in the blink of an eye.
"Didn't the Saint's Chosens all have their powers sealed?" Ye Fei Li loudly asked.
"Their powers are sealed, so he definitely won't be able to catch up — — - but we still need to run, hurry up!" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Why do we need to run?" Ye Fei Li didn't understand.
"That man is still in the stream, yet he already drew his spear from half a mountain away, this means that he's about to attack" Gu Qing Shan answered in a low voice.
Ye Fei Li recalled. The middle-aged man really did draw his weapon when they were crossing the stream.
— — -that's right, if he can't attack, why would he draw his weapon from so far away?
Thinking that, Ye Fei Li suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
The Samsara's situation is too strange.
Only with Gu Qing Shan here could he understand the other party's intentions — — -
Without waiting for him to think any further, Gu Qing Shan abruptly shouted: "Dodge!"
Ye Fei Li turned around, only to see a gigantic spear that blotted out the sky had manifested behind him.
The spear gave off a desolate and ancient presence, chasing after them at an unimaginable speed.
"What the hell!"
Ye Fei Li's hairs stood on end, desperately flapping his skeletal wings with all his might.
The spear was too fast, I can't outrun it, so I had no choice but to dodge to the side.
It's fortunate that I've already flown this far away, that's why I had a chance to avoid it.
Ye Fei Li drew a long arc in the sky. In the blink of an eye, the spear whistled past him and Gu Qing Shan.
The spear almost brushed past them.
— — -just a bit more and we were hit!
Fortunately, the two of them managed to avoid the spear, only to watch as the clouds in the sky were wiped out by the spear, as well as the mountains on the ground being silently flattened.
The spear flew so fast that it disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Ye Fei Li's heart was beating rapidly, exclaiming in shock: "What kind of technique was that!?"
Gu Qing Shan pursed her lips and didn't answer.
Facing such a technique, the two of them didn't have any room to resist.
If they were hit, they would be dead for sure.
— — -such a powerful technique must be a Samsara Divine Skill.
The pursuer had already awakened a Samsara Divine Skill!
Against such an enemy, I and Ye Fei Li have no chance of winning.
Unless …
Gu Qing Shan spoke in a low voice: "Let's go"
"Where to? What for? "Ye Fei Li asked.
"Fly East, before that person catches up, we need to continue killing the 5-Elemental monsters" Gu Qing Shan calmly answered.
"What!?"
