"Disciple Jiang Rong volunteered three hundred years ago to take on the position of master of the Fortune Merit Hall. In accordance with Master's decree, this hall was responsible for overseeing the rise and fall of the fortune of the hundred races under Heaven and Earth, as well as the merit of all living beings."
"This authority was originally controlled by the Heavenly Dao. After much anxious thought, disciple believed that no matter what we did, we would find it difficult to rival the Heavenly Dao in this matter. Or rather, no matter how hard we tried, we could never escape the scope of the Heavenly Dao's supervision. In that case, we would only be wasting manpower and resources."
"But since Master issued this decree, there must be a deeper reason behind it. Disciple was terrified to speculate, yet could not neglect this matter either. Therefore, disciple took the liberty of deciding to change the very nature of the Fortune Hall and completely reform the Heavenly Dao's method of monitoring fortune and merit."
Jiang Rong was tall and imposing, with a head of white hair. He stood in the grand council hall and delivered his report in a deep voice, his bearing as mighty as a male lion. He was also the only one among the Nine Halls to carry out a earth-shaking reform of the rules inherited from the Heavenly Dao. Whether the result would be good or bad was still unknown, but his courage was truly unmatched.
As Zhang Yang listened to Jiang Rong hold forth in the grand council hall, his expression remained calm and patient. This world was his foundation, so there were certain matters that could not be bypassed, nor could they be resolved with a few airy words.
The Fortune Merit Hall seemed unrelated
