Ji Yue Shuang parted her red lips slightly. Seeing Yang Chen's confusion, she explained patiently, "Of course it isn't nearby. The Ancient God Realm is already considered far from the Taiyuan Star System. It lies at the core of our Human Universe, and it is also the critical point where clashes with the alien races of the various universes are at their fiercest. If you go to the Earth Spirit Hall to take missions, the difficulty may not necessarily exceed those taken in the Shenye Sect, but the danger will certainly surpass the latter."
Yang Chen gradually understood. "So if I want to obtain more merit, I still have to go to the Earth Spirit Hall."
"Exactly. The merit earned within the Shenye Sect is truly negligible. No matter how much effort you put in, it is still not as worthwhile as one trip to the Earth Spirit Hall. Otherwise, my master would not have been unable to become a Guardian Emperor. But what do they fight against at the Earth Spirit Hall? The Netherworld, the Spirit God Clan, the Xiongsha Clan—endless alien races. Just thinking about it is frightening. With my current cultivation, even if I wanted to go, my master would absolutely never agree." Ji Yue Shuang said with her little mouth pouting.
Yang Chen could not help but laugh. He was different from Ji Yue Shuang. Some things were not his to choose.
Merit...
Merit could determine many things. He had already known that back in the Spirit South Two Realms.
This merit system was not all that different. Kill more enemies, and naturally, you would have reason to earn respect.
If I become a Guardian Emperor, while ensuring my own survival... could I bring Zhang Xuelian back? Yang Chen could not help thinking.
No matter what,
