"Not anymore!" Yang Chen had seen how the Queen Mother of the West calmly faced her death and how the Jade Emperor lost his composure. The respect he had for the Jade Emperor disappeared without a trace.
"I am the Jade Emperor! You are all traitors!" Facing the threat of death, the former Jade Emperor had lost all his dignity. He waved his fists at Yang Chen hysterically. However, he just stood there and waved his fists. He did not dare to argue with Yang Chen, let alone teach Yang Chen a lesson.
"Every debt has a debtor. We have no grudges against each other. I am just doing my duty and following orders. Please forgive me!" Yang Chen expressionlessly said the words of an executioner. Then, he took a few steps forward and waved his knife.
The Heavenly Court's Merit Envoy was shocked when he saw Yang Chen's merit value suddenly increase. Yang Chen's merit value was already at the level of Immeasurable. When he slashed at the Queen Mother of the West, his merit value jumped to almost the full value shown on the merit board. Nine Boundless was the largest number that could be accommodated on the Merit Roll.
Looking at the second place on the merit board, the name of the new Jade Emperor, the Heavenly Court's Merit Envoy almost cried. The Heavenly Court was newly established and he had accumulated merits to rise to this position. Could it be that the Heavenly Court was in darkness because of this immortal artifact's mistake? He did not know how the merit board was ranked in the past, but he thought that the Jade Emperor must be the first!
A guy who came out of nowhere and even the Merit Envoy couldn't find this guy even after searching the entire Heavenly Court. How could his merit value be higher than the new Jade Emperor? If there was no problem with the merit board, then there must be a problem with him as the Merit Envoy. The new Jade Emperor was not a kind person. He was a powerful figure who sent all the loyal people of the old Heavenly Court to the Immortal Slaying Platform. If the Jade Emperor knew about this, he would definitely be the Immortal Slaying Platform's final destination.
Yes, there must be a problem with the merit list's rules. In a moment of desperation, the Virtuous Host's brain worked dozens of times faster than usual, and he immediately realized the crux of the problem. The Merit Board was an Immortal Artifact. As long as one wore the Heavenly Court's symbol ring, the Merit Board would record the merit points. There shouldn't be any problems with it. The only problem was that the merit ranking that he had just taken over was still using the old rules.
Thinking of this, the Merit Envoy was about to try to control the Merit List to study how to change the calculation rules of the Merit List. However, with a sweep of his Divine Sense, he suddenly felt that someone had entered from the outside. It was his personal attendant. However, he couldn't let anyone see the current ranking of the Merit List. The Merit Envoy quickly put away the Merit List and asked, "What is it?"
"My Lord, the Jade Emperor's envoy has arrived. The Jade Emperor wants to see the Merit List!" The attendant bowed and reported. Then, he waited quietly for the Merit Envoy's instructions.
Boom! It was as if a clap of thunder resounded in the Virtue Envoy's ears. The Jade Emperor wanted to see the merit roll, but could he see the merit roll now? The Merit Envoy didn't know what he should do.
However, no matter what, the Jade Emperor had actually sent someone here instead of summoning him with a token. It must be an extremely grand occasion. There might be many people waiting to see, so he had to go. However, the damn merit roll was actually in big trouble now!
The Merit Envoy trembled with fear and trepidation as he carefully followed the Jade Emperor's envoy to the Cloudy Palace of the Golden Arches. As he walked, his body trembled, causing the Merit Envoy in front to be surprised. However, it wasn't appropriate to ask him, so he could only tactfully remind him, "Be careful not to lose your manners in front of the Jade Emperor!"
In the Cloudy Palace of the Golden Arches, the new Jade Emperor was holding a banquet with his officials. In fact, this was also a celebration banquet for overthrowing the old Heavenly Court. During the celebration banquet, those who had made contributions would be rewarded, as well as a large amount of merit points.
Seeing this scene from afar, the Merit Envoy's legs almost went soft and he fell to the ground. Even though he was already a Golden Immortal, he was quite frightened at this moment. It wasn't easy for him to overthrow the old Heavenly Court. Was he going to be sent to the Immortal Beheading Platform just because he had just taken control of the merit roll and hadn't had time to change the rules?
It wasn't easy for him to force himself to pay his respects to the Jade Emperor without losing his manners. However, the Jade Emperor's words almost made the Merit Envoy's soul scatter.
"Merit Emissary, show us the Merit List. Let everyone take a look!"
At the same time, Yang Chen's murderous blade had already been raised high. Under the Jade Emperor's horrified gaze, the blade slashed down heavily. Pu, the sharp blade that had killed tens of thousands of immortals only made a light sound. Then, blood sprayed out, and the Jade Emperor's corpse collapsed softly, no different from an ordinary corpse.
The number on the merit roll skyrocketed again, instantly exceeding the display range of the merit roll. The merit roll could no longer be displayed. Just as the Merit Envoy opened the merit roll, Yang Chen's name flashed on the merit roll and disappeared without a trace.
The Merit Envoy already couldn't help but start trembling. If the Jade Emperor saw that the first place on the merit roll wasn't him, who knew how angry he would be.
Just as the Merit Envoy was about to give up in despair, he suddenly heard the calm laughter of the immortals. Everyone seemed to be very satisfied with the ranking on the merit roll, and they were all leisurely evaluating it. Even the Jade Emperor let out a burst of laughter. It was clear that although the merit points were small, the Jade Emperor was newly appointed and didn't have any more political achievements, so he could easily accept it.
"Merit Envoy, reward subject XX with 100,000 merit points!" The Jade Emperor's voice sounded from high above.
The Merit Envoy was stunned. He looked up and saw the name of the Jade Emperor, who was first on the merit roll. As for the jinx-like Yang Chen, he had already flown off to god knows where. The Merit Envoy's heart trembled. He felt as if he had gone from hell to heaven.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" He was happy, but he didn't dare to be slow. He hurriedly controlled the merit roll and noted down the Jade Emperor's reward.
"Reward subject XX with 80,000 merit points!"
"Reward subject XX with 60,000 merit points!"
…
The series of rewards made the Merit Envoy so busy that he didn't even have time to lift his head. After much difficulty, the Jade Emperor finished bestowing the rewards. In the end, he seemed to be very satisfied with the Merit Envoy's attitude and ordered, "Merit Envoy, give yourself a thousand merit points. In the future, the merit roll will follow this rule and can't be easily changed! "
The first half of the sentence made the Merit Envoy happy that he had received a thousand merit points, but the second half made his heart sink. Yang Chen's name once again appeared in the Merit Envoy's mind. The ridiculously long merit points behind Yang Chen's name also tested the Merit Envoy's heart again and again. However, he didn't dare to say anything at this time. The Jade Emperor was the only one in the world. His words couldn't be disobeyed. In any case, Yang Chen's name had already disappeared. Would the Merit Envoy be stupid enough to say it himself?
Thinking of this, the Merit Envoy bowed down and respectfully said to the Jade Emperor, who was sitting on the throne, "This subject receives the decree!"
