God Emperor

The Merit Exchange Hall became extremely quiet, so much so that even a needle drop was audible as everyone focused their eyes on Zhang Ruochen. Time and space seemed to stand still during this moment.

“Only 3.5 billion merit points. Compared to those in the front, the gap is really big.”

Zhang Ruochen sighed and shook his head, not satisfied with the current merit points he had.

The Celestial Courts Saint King Merit List had a total of 183,673 people on the list. The four dominant worlds alongside the top hundred worlds accounted for most of the names on the list, with few people from other worlds.

For example, before Zhang Ruochen, there was only a single person from the Guanghan Realm on the list. Also, that persons ranking had not been that high, and the Guanghan Realms power had already been exhausted.

With Zhang Ruochens current merit points, he was only ranked beyond the ten-thousands, and he was very, very far away from the top spot of the merit list.

Getting into the top ten thousand on the Saint King Merit List was itself a bumpy road that was not easy to get past because the merit points required were in the 4 to 5 billion mark.

In accordance with the rules of the Fane of Merit, anyone who entered the top ten thousand on the Saint King Merit List would receive great benefits and obtain a large amount of Merit Qi to lustrate his or her body and soul.

If one could get into the top one thousand, top one hundred, or even top ten, the benefits would be even greater, and no one could resist it.

In fact, many of those who were ranked high on the merit list could have broken into the realm of a Supreme Saint long ago, but they had been suppressing their cultivation base.

There were three reasons for this; firstly, they wanted to cross the tenth region in the Sea of Truth and obtain a supreme opportunity. Secondly, they were going to play a big role in the Battlefield of Merits since they were the most crucial trump cards for the Celestial Court to dominate the Battlefield of Merits. Thirdly, the benefits given by the Fane of Merit were simply unimaginable to an ordinary person.

Unfortunately, it was just too difficult to get into the top rankings of the Saint King Merit List.

Zhang Ruochen recognized one of the ten Divine Disciples of the Fane of Truth, Nie Xiangzi. The latter was already a top-tier elite beneath a Supreme Saint rank and had accumulated a great amount of merit. Yet, he was only ranked 93 on the list, barely squeezing into the top 100.

Most of those at the top were being propped up by those powerful forces with all their might.

It was almost futile for someone to rush to the top alone.

Just like how Zhang Ruochen had gotten 3.5 billion merit points, it was also the result of the joint efforts of many, and many of the Immortal Vampires were not actually slain by him.

“Zhang Ruochen, did you really annihilate the Immortal Vampire army that besieged the Sword Vault?” a female cultivator asked.

Hearing that voice, Zhang Ruochen snapped back to his senses as he turned around and said, “Shouldnt I do that? All of you went to the Battlefield of Merits; dont you need someone to protect the Kunlun Realm? Im a coward, and I dare not go to the Battlefield of Merits, so I can only stand guard in Kunlun and wait for the Infernal Court cultivators to show up.”
