Merit—
What was it good for?
Gu Qingshan silently asked himself.
But no Crimson Small Characters appeared in the void.
The Highest Sequence did not answer his question.
The Sequence was still dormant, only occasionally stirring to offer a basic explanation.
In that case, there was only one option—
Gu Qingshan brought out the Book of the Seabed and repeated the question.
The Book of the Seabed said, "This is an important question. I can only tell you what merit is used for at this stage. You'll have to pay me another day's earnings for the answer."
"So that makes it three thousand years and two days?" Gu Qingshan asked.
"Correct," the Book of the Seabed replied.
"Deal," Gu Qingshan said readily.
He already owed it so much that one more day hardly mattered.
Lines of universal Human Race script immediately appeared on the Book of the Seabed:
"Five Elements in disarray, ten spirits turn to demons; the Human Realm will be established, and the Six Paths will begin."
"When Holy Chosen accumulate a certain amount of merit, they can awaken their own Six Paths God Skill and cause it to undergo new changes."
Six Paths God Skill?
Gu Qingshan's gaze sharpened as he quickly recalled the matter.
The First Step of the Six Paths Competition was to attain the Unfathomable Realm of Gods and Ghosts.
Once they reached that realm, each Holy Chosen could transform one of their own divine powers into a Six Paths God Skill.
—Yes, a Six Paths God Skill!
Back then, he had abandoned the Yellow Springs Path and chosen the Evil Ghost Path. By combining the top-tier Thunder and Lightning Divine Power "Startling Dream" with the incredible ultimate face curse "Past Ghost Body," he had created the Evil Ghost Path's God Skill: Mountain Ghost.
