CHAPTER 1947: CHAPTER 1226: BOUNDLESS MERIT

Rumble!

More and more strongmen took action, imprinting their own rules of the Great Dao within the newly born Heaven and Earth.

It could be seen that endless rules evolved into pillars of the Great Dao, standing tall between Heaven and Earth, supporting them so that they are no longer connected.

Meanwhile, the Prehistoric World and the Supreme Heaven trembled simultaneously, each releasing a force of Original Power, merging into the newly born Beyond The Heaven, assisting it in resisting the impacts of Chaos.

This lasted for thousands of years, and a world slightly larger than the Supreme Heaven but smaller than the Heavenly Realm was born.

This is the Supreme Heaven. Its area is not large, roughly equivalent to the Miluo Heaven of the Jade Emperor era in the Three Realms, but the power contained within far exceeds Miluo Heaven.

Even in Jiang Chen’s view, the Beyond The Heaven is quite mysterious. Though the space is not large, it’s filled with dense and myriad rules of the Great Dao.

Like the Supreme Heaven, Beyond The Heaven is also a world composed of Tao and Law.

The difference lies in that the Supreme Heaven is built upon eternally layered Tao and Law, whereas Beyond The Heaven is centered on the rules of Primordial Chaos, supplemented by some rules of Creation.

In other words, the upper limit of Beyond The Heaven is Wuji Daluo Jinxian. Chaos Strongmen entering it can gain many benefits, but Wuji Daluo Jinxian entering it would find it of no use.

"With the Supreme Heaven and Beyond The Heaven in place, it seems that the Prehistoric World shouldn’t encounter any problems in the future."

Witnessing the birth of Beyond The Heaven, Jiang Chen’s tone relaxed considerably.

With these two places restricting the strongmen, preventing them from entering the Prehistoric World, Jiang Chen couldn’t believe that the Prehistoric World could still face crises.

"It calls for celebration!"

Unlike Jiang Chen’s joy, the Great Divine Transcendents who helped create Beyond The Heaven did not show much happiness on their faces.

Beyond The Heaven has been created, and their time to enter the Supreme Heaven is near.

To seek Tao, to enter into higher realms, they had no choice but to go into the Supreme Heaven, and the cost of this was that it would be very difficult for them to return to the Prehistoric World that nurtured them.

Everyone remained lost in thought, their inner thoughts hidden. However, at that moment, Heaven and Earth underwent an unexpected change. Endless golden light gathered, illuminating the dark Chaos, capturing the attention of all present.

"Is it the Profound Yellow Merit?"

The Great Divine Transcendents, upon seeing this, were first surprised, then enlightened. The appearance of Beyond The Heaven benefits the Prehistoric World, and the Heavenly Dao naturally rewards these strongmen who have helped establish the Supreme Heaven with the Profound Yellow Merit.

Ordinarily, seeing so much Profound Yellow Merit would have tempted them, but now their mindsets had reached the Chaos Realm, allowing them to regard it with ease.

Merit, after all, is such. Unless it’s the Great Dao Merit, it doesn’t greatly aid them.

Feeling that merit was not very useful for themselves, everyone did not try to take it, and when the merit descended, they sent it into the Prehistoric World.

Rumble!

The earth shook violently as a golden storm descended. Bathing in this golden storm, all living beings benefited, whether in cultivation advancement or enhancement of perception...

Since the merit was of no use to them, it was better to gift it to the living beings between Heaven and Earth, as a form of compensation from them.

However, that was not the end.

Creating Beyond The Heaven is merit; creating the Supreme Heaven is also merit; saving the Prehistoric World is yet another merit.

Therefore, as the merit from creating Beyond The Heaven disappeared, an even more brilliant golden light emerged, endless merit energy spread, enveloping the entire Prehistoric World.

This merit, so abundant it outmeasured the Prehistoric World, could be considered unique in ancient and modern times.

Even the well-traveled Great Divine Transcendents had never seen so much merit, leaving them momentarily speechless.

Among those present, the only one who remained unchanged in expression was the Honjan Daizu. He first looked at the merit in the sky, then looked at Jiang Chen, sincerely praising:

"The merit of Heaven and Earth, never seen before, indeed deserving to be a Creator God!"

Honjan Daizu calling Jiang Chen a Creator God elevated him to a level comparable to Pangu Great God, a testament to high praise and affirmation.

With Daizu’s words, Jiang Chen’s status was cemented. From now on, he was the highest existence in the Prehistoric World, to be surpassed only by Pangu Great God if returned.

"His Majesty’s benevolence, immeasurable merit!"

Upon hearing Daizu’s admiration, everyone expressed their respect towards Jiang Chen, offering a bow and continuously chanting praises.

Immeasurable merit was once just a descriptor, but now they finally understood its true magnitude, seeing the merit energy in the sky surpass the grandeur of the Prehistoric World.

From the creation of the Prehistoric World to the present, all merit combined could never amount to this. Though the merit wasn’t entirely Jiang Chen’s, he possessed at least ninety percent of it.

"If all this merit is absorbed, wouldn’t it immediately allow reaching the Complete Chaos Land realm?"

Someone speculated, as no one had ever seen so much merit, they could only imagine the extent to which their strength would be elevated upon absorption.

However, the Heavenly Dao is not the Great Dao; it has limits, strongest only up to Complete Chaos Land. Hence, they believed that absorbing this merit wouldn’t let them exceed the Complete Chaos Land.

Naturally, they also understood, Jiang Chen would not absorb this merit.

Having resisted absorbing the Daoist Lotus Seed that could enable Half-step Eternal Realm, let alone the Profound Yellow Merit.

Knowing Jiang Chen wouldn’t absorb the Profound Yellow Merit led to curiosity about how he would handle it.

With so much merit, if not absorbed, managing it became a question.

"I ask each of you Daoist friends to retrieve your own merit."

Glancing at the Profound Yellow Merit in the sky, Jiang Chen spoke to those around him.

Saving the Prehistoric World involved their efforts, even accounting for more than Jiang Chen’s, hence the merit included their portion, albeit no more than a tenth overall.

Though they took the major role in saving the Prehistoric World, the creation of the Supreme Heaven was solely achieved by Jiang Chen.

Thus, the merit in the sky primarily represented the merit of establishing the Supreme Heaven, resulting in Jiang Chen possessing ninety percent of it.

The merit from creating the Supreme Heaven far surpassed that from saving the Prehistoric World, as it granted the Prehistoric World eternal traits, never to be completely destroyed.

This held unprecedented significance for the Prehistoric Tiandi, hence the abundance of merit, nearly limitless.

Indeed, limitless. The merit from creating the Supreme Heaven wasn’t just allocated now, but daily until the Supreme Heaven’s destruction or Jiang Chen’s demise.

"Go!"

Upon hearing Jiang Chen’s words, without hesitation, they retrieved their share of the merit.

Unlike before, they didn’t release it into the Prehistoric World but retained it, crafting it into Merit Treasures instead.

Heading to the Supreme Heaven for cultivation, leaving treasures behind to protect their doctrines was imperative.

Initially, they’d considered leaving their Innate Spiritual Treasure behind. However, Jiang Chen had altered its logic.

The mystery remained, but the power wasn’t as strong as before, leaving no significant reason to keep it.

With the decline of Innate Spiritual Treasure’s potency, the Merit Treasures’ might stood out more. Once weaker than Innate Spiritual Treasure, now emerged as the strongest treasures, capable of releasing mighty force even without activation.

Such treasures were ideal for guarding doctrines. Hence, before heading to the Supreme Heaven, each Great Divine Transcendent left behind a Merit Treasure to guard their doctrine.
