Volume 2, Chapter 427: Only three people have achieved first-class merit.
Thousands of people came to the throne. On the platform, the young man in the lead looked righteous and majestic.
Under his leadership, everyone knelt down and kowtowed to Ye Tingmu in unison.
"Ye Fan and the 1135th Saint of the Ye family are here to pay their respects to the old patriarch."
"Ye Xiaohua pays homage to the old patriarch..."
"Ye Xuan pays homage to the old patriarch..."
"Ye Feng pays homage to the old patriarch..."
"Ye Mu pays homage to the old patriarch."
Their voices are like the sea and their momentum is like the waves.
Ye Tingmu looked at the thousands of people, his lips slightly raised, revealing a smile. At this moment, he felt that all the heavens and worlds were submitting to him.
Looking at the Qiansheng of Yejia Village, he was filled with emotion. The young are indeed promising. His unintentional actions back then had created the number one family in the world. He was also very pleased.
He raised his hand gently, "Everyone, get up."
"Thank you, old patriarch!"
Everyone cheered again and stood up in unison. They looked up at their ancestors and their benefactors.
It was Ye Tingmu who gave them new life, letting them know that life has dignity, and that people always have to do something while they are alive.
"You have done a good job over the years and have lived up to my expectations. Come and receive your rewards."
"yes!"
As the Thousand Saints of the Ye Family received the reward for the second-class merit, Dongfang Qinghu and the 28 Saints of the Dongfang Family came forward.
"Dongfang Qinghu, along with twenty-eight members of the Dongfang family, pays homage to the King of the East Sea."
Looking at this man, he still looks the same as before, with a strong build and righteous spirit. In the Battle of Beimang, it was he who blocked the attack of the pseudo-saint Feng Shanke. Later, in the Battle of Zhulu, it was the Dongfang family who led the Beimang cavalry to rush thousands of miles to support, enter Yanyun Pass, and block the attack of the Canghai clan.
The Dongfang family deserved the second-class merit.
Next is the Chao family.
The leaders were Chao Feng's son Chao Taiping and Chao Xiao's daughter Chao Luoluo.
"Towards Taiping."
"Towards Luoluo."
"The sage of the Chao clan pays homage to the King of the East Sea. May the king live for ten thousand years..."
Then it was the Blood God Cult, led by the White-haired Immortal from that year, who took them to receive the reward.
At this point, all 1,560 people have received second-class merit awards.
When the crowd's applause ended, Zhou Heisan said.
"The winners of the first-class merit will be announced by the King of the East Sea himself."
The whole audience was in an uproar.
The reward for first-class merit is the emperor's divine weapon and the essence of the Immortal Emperor. Its value is self-evident. Now it is announced by Ye Tingmu himself.
You can see its importance.
Ye Tingmu slowly stood up and no longer sat on the throne.
He only selected three people for first-class merit, only three people.
He waved his hand and three golden scrolls rose into the air. He moved his mind and words floated on the scrolls.
Like a book of boundaries falling from above the three heavens
At this moment, the characters on the scroll jumped out of the scroll, came into the sky, and then fell vertically.
The golden fonts shone brightly, and at this moment, caught people's eyes.
They looked up, stunned at the names on the three lists.
There are no younger brothers and sisters of Ye Tingmu, nor his brothers, let alone Zhou Heisan, who is worth tens of thousands of dollars.
But these three people have to be admired, and they deserve the first-class merit.
In Ye Tingmu's view, the Halloween Convention is always for the people of the world to see, so that everyone in the world knows that there will be rewards for their efforts.
Firstly, it encourages people's determination to practice cultivation, and secondly, it gives these people some help before ascending to heaven, so that those among them who are willing to follow him to heaven can reach the level of attracting heavenly thunder in the next year or so.
But his own people like Li Gou, Shijie, Yue Mingfeng, Hua Zhilu... etc. don't need these false titles. As for things, he will naturally give them.
Behind closed doors, they are all their own family and there is no need to bring this to the surface for others to see.
That would be counterproductive, at least that's what he thought, and he believed that they would understand that he was not like that.
He did not read out the contents of the list, but chose to display it in this way so that everyone could see it.
Let them read and feel it for themselves.
First-class merit recipient.
1: Chao Xiao, son of Chao Tianque, King of the Sea of Jiuzhou. In the battle of Zhuolu, he fought against the saint with the state of sainthood, and was seriously injured. He became a saint with the luck of Jiuzhou, killed five enemy saints, and later fought in the sky. After the world was unified, he worked hard for a thousand years for the people, which was a great kindness, so he was awarded first-class merit.
2: Wu Yanwang, became a scholar when he was young, and served as an official in the court. After the unification of the world, he successively served as the prime minister of Jiuzhou, the scholar-official of Donghai... etc. It has been a thousand years since then. He has implemented more than ten policies such as putting people first, developing the country through agriculture, sending monks to the countryside..., laying the foundation for a prosperous era. He devoted his whole life to the people, worked hard until his death, and therefore won the first-class merit.
3: Chu Ze, a native of Jiuzhou, has been traveling to hundreds of counties since the millennium, leading hundreds of people in remote and poor areas to live a life of plenty.
Afterwards, he attained the Tao, and through poverty, he became a saint, creating the extraordinary in the ordinary. He never failed to do good deeds, no matter how small, and thus he was awarded first-class merit.
When the list came into the eyes of the world, they fell silent at this moment. There were only three people on this list, and none of these three people were Ye Tingmu's true confidants.
This is beyond doubt and makes them feel admiration.
At least it proves one thing, that in Ye Tingmu's eyes, everyone is treated equally, and when good things happen, he will not only think about his family.
Let people see that as long as you follow him, no matter how late it is, no matter whether you are related by blood or not, as long as there is a reward, everyone has a chance, you just need to shine.
As for the list of first-class achievements, all three people, without exception, have made outstanding contributions to the people.
This proves one thing: in Ye Tingmu's eyes, ability is certainly important, but he also uses this method to tell the world that whether a person is worthy of respect is not determined by how powerful he is or where he was born, but by what he has done for the world.
What he did for the people also told the world that a strong man should care about the world. Even though he had been in seclusion for a thousand years and was now high and mighty, his heart still held the people of the world in his heart.
Chao Xiao, Wu Yanwang, and Chu Ze have been working for the benefit of the people for the past thousand years.
The three of them are also very representative. They represent three groups, three groups that are silently contributing to making the world a better place.
One is Chao Xiao's top leader, born with divine blood, representing the nobility and the royal family.
The second one is Wu Yanwang, who came from a humble family and became an official in the current dynasty. He represents all the officials and students in the world.
As for Chu Ze, he is a common man, a person who cannot be more ordinary, and he also represents every little person who is unknown and selflessly dedicated.
He chose these three people with this intention, and the people present also understood his intention.
