1833 Unresolved Matter (1/2)

Having 30 million merit points accorded to him took Chen Xiaobei by surprise.

There was a famous Chinese saying that went, 'the good will be rewarded, and the evil punished, but if you haven't received it, it's only a matter of time'.

Chen Xiaobei's careful planning warranted the safety of the civilians and helped prevent a massacre of a considerable scale. He resolved the Nine Zones greatest conflict at the smallest cost!

The Heavenly Path's merit points were a confirmation and a reward for Chen Xiaobei.

This was a pleasant surprise for him as he did not expect to be getting additional reward.

Not only did he gain honor and recognition, but he also received merit points.

While Chen Xiaobei did not anticipate this, it actually made complete sense.

Back in Northern Wilderness starfield, Chen Xiaobei resolved the war between one million young soldiers and one million Demonic Beasts.

He was awarded 10 million merit points for that.

Based on that calculation, the 30 million merit points meant that Chen Xiaobei saved 6 million people's lives!

6 million people might sound like an exaggeration but had the war between Tenshou and Saint Duke continued, the number of casualties from both sides would add up 6 million!

It would have been like that time when Emperor Qin tore down 6 kingdoms and united the nation. Although many people were killed in the process, it went on to save thousands more from death and suffering!

For that reason, the Heavenly Path awarded the emperor with enough merit points that it allowed Yingzhen to directly ascend to the Heavenly Realm and became a deity.

If he had not been framed by Jade Emperor, Xufu reckoned that Yingzhen would have been roaming free in the Heavenly Realm instead of being trapped inside the black coffin.

But that was completely off-topic.

After receiving the 30 million merit points, Chen Xiaobei's current total merit points exceeded 60 million, advancing him to an Eighth-Generation Philanthropist.

If his merit point reached 90 million, he would be aggrandized to a Ninth-Generation Philanthropist. Then, he could exchange his merit points for an Earth-God position.

Chen Xiaobei would never do that, of course.

He was already at God-Ascension cultivation, only a step away from Primordial Spirit cultivation. There was no need to waste his merit points!

Moreover, Shen Gongpao was in possession of the merit points ledger. Chen Xiaobei would be charged 10 times the cost. The last time he was able to exchange an Earth-God's cultivation for Diao Chan only because Shen Gongpao was too distracted with the King of Glory competition.

Instead, he would use his merit points, to exchange for something else.

A short while ago, Chen Xiaobei traded for 30 Good Luck charms which helped turned his troubles around.

By accumulating merit points, Chen Xiaobei could exchange his points when the need arose, giving him the leeway as an alternative to the Red Envelope Snatching sessions.

Chen Xiaobei might even consider using his points to exchange for Earth-God cultivation for the others like Xiangyu, Jiang Ziya, Ne Zha, Hong Hai'er, and Old Wang.

The five of them came from the Three Realms Red Envelope group. Making them Earth-Gods would be very useful to Chen Xiaobei.

But this was a topic for another time.

Chen Xiaobei did not have the 90 million merit points yet. He would only decide when he did.
