The Heavenly Palace.

The desertedness of the past is gone, the lights are on, and although there are fewer people than before the catastrophe, they are still in place and have begun to work.

The few surviving heavenly soldiers are holding weapons and patrolling around the Milky Way.

However, if you look closely, you will find that this group of people, whether they are heavenly soldiers or immortal officials, are looking at the South Heavenly Gate from time to time, looking absent-minded.

At this moment, a burly giant spirit came slowly over carrying a huge white marble pillar and said in a rough voice: "Don't gather in a crowd. Gathering here at the South Gate of Heaven, can you afford to disturb the Holy Lord of Merit?"

A god with a red pipe hat on his head couldn't help but said: "Giant spirit, how dare you talk about us? If I remember correctly, you see that this pillar has been walked back and forth six times? What is it doing, morning exercise?"

He wore a pipe hat, had two moustaches on his mouth, and wore a red thick coat. He was fat, with a yellow "food" character printed on his slightly arched belly. He looked like a greasy and fat man.

The giant spirit was hit by his words and immediately became angry and embarrassed, "God of Food, shouldn't you be in the kitchen studying dishes? You're staying here so early in the morning, you're desecrating your job!"

The God of Food stroked his mustache, "As for you, why don't you install this pillar at the South Heaven Gate as soon as possible? Why are you running around in circles!"

At this moment, a heavenly soldier came hurriedly to report. Because he was in such a hurry, the helmet on his head was a little crooked. He said urgently, "Stop talking! The Holy Lord of Merit is here!"

"Everyone take your positions!"

Immediately, everyone's faces straightened and they began to spontaneously enter the script they had prepared for themselves.

In the distant sky, a golden light slowly appeared. The golden light was so dazzling, like the first light between heaven and earth, and it gradually magnified in the eyes of the crowd.

Gradually, Li Nianfan stepped on the golden cloud of merit and virtue, and descended surrounded by the seven fairies.

The South Gate of Heaven was still the South Gate of Heaven, half of which was already damaged, and it seemed that it had not been repaired in time.

As soon as he landed at the gate, he saw a big man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, carrying a pillar on his shoulder and walking step by step. Then, with a sound of "bell", he placed the pillar next to the South Gate of Heaven and silently wiped the few beads of sweat on his forehead.

Then, the big guy turned around with an expression of "encountering by chance", "Oh, the seven princesses are back, this must be the Holy Lord of Merit, my little god, the Giant Spirit, nice to meet

you." "So you are the Giant Spirit, hello."

Li Nianfan looked at the big bald guy in front of him, a famous cannon fodder in mythological stories, and then said, "Are you... repairing the South Heaven Gate?"

"The Holy Lord is really a wise man, he saw through it at once."

The Giant Spirit immediately grinned, then raised his hand, picked up the giant pillar again, and began to insert and fix it with a serious expression, as if he was working hard.

Li Nianfan nodded and praised, "As expected of a giant spirit, you are really strong."

"Thank you for the reward, Saint Lord. You saved our entire Heavenly Palace and are a great benefactor. I only do some rough work like moving things around, which is nothing."

The giant spirit's lines had obviously been prepared for a long time, and they were spoken with sincerity, "In the future, Saint Lord, if you have any rough or hard work, just ask me to do it. I don't have many hobbies, but I like to do this!"

Li Nianfan felt his enthusiasm and smiled, "Thank you."

Friendly, what a friendly giant spirit.

The other gods saw this and immediately frowned. If you want to get along in the world, you still have to pretend!

Hey, what's the use of my face? Tired ears!

But at this moment, a fat red figure suddenly came running over, holding a steaming bun in each hand, and said in a caring tone: "Giant Spirit God, you have been moving all morning, you must be exhausted, hurry up and have some breakfast to replenish your strength."

The Giant Spirit God was stunned for a moment, and then quickly said with emotion: "Really... Thank you so much!"

The God of Food spoke in a gentle tone, and the two of them were full of gay love, "Hurry up and eat, don't be polite."

Friendly, what a friendly Tiangong!

Li Nianfan saw this and his favorability towards Tiangong increased again.

At this time, the God of Food "accidentally" noticed Li Nianfan and said respectfully, "Little God of Food, I've met the Saint of Merit."

Li Nianfan smiled and said, "You are worthy of being the God of Food. You make good buns."

The God of Food immediately said, "I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it. I've also heard about the Saint of Merit's cooking skills. It really makes me far behind."

Li Nianfan felt that he had found a common language and said, "Hahaha, we can learn from each other when we have time."

The God of Food was immediately cheered up and was stunned by the surprise of the world. He nodded repeatedly, "Of course, of course!"

Others immediately looked at the God of Food with envy. Just based on this sentence, the God of Food should be rich, as if he had won the lottery, he was lucky and became rich overnight.

The giant spirit at the side was even more envious and jealous. Why did he only compete with the God of Food? Wouldn't it be better to compete with me in moving pillars?

"Mr. Li, please come with us. Your mansion is right next to the observatory last time." Hong'er took the lead in a red skirt, and glared at the group of gods around, asking them to behave themselves.

Along the way, Li Nianfan saw a completely different heavenly palace. The vitality was completely different. From time to time, immortals passed by nearby, and seemed to be quite busy. However, when they saw Li Nianfan and others, they would stop and say hello in a friendly manner.

Moreover, the heavenly palace not only became bright and popular, but also had background music, accompanied by the strange phenomenon of mist and the sound of spring water. It was really high-end and classy.

Soon, they arrived at the observatory. Li Nianfan saw the new building at first sight. The purple roof was completely different from other fairy palaces. It was unique and striking. The three-story fairy palace seemed to be emitting a halo. The most important thing was that there were no other buildings blocking it. It was right at the edge of the observatory, so it seemed to be integrated with the distant starry sky.

It felt like... a building standing in the starry sky, delicate, mysterious, and noble.

In the previous life, this was equivalent to building a single-family villa in the core location of a national forest reserve.

What a big deal!

As he approached, Li Nianfan could see the plaque on the fairy palace, the Hall of the Holy Lord of Merit.

He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and said, "I remember that there was no building here last time I came."

Cheng'er smiled and said, "Mr. Li, this is the mansion prepared for you, and it must be newly built."

At the same time, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother also came from a distance and smiled at Li Nianfan, saying, "Mr. Li."

"Your Majesty, Queen." Li Nianfan bowed his hands, and then couldn't help but sighed, "You are really too polite. How can I be so worthy of you to build a fairy palace here for me?"

Master, you really think too highly of us. It should be us who are worthy of building a fairy palace here.

This is completely grown by the heavenly palace for you!

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Master Li, you are a saint of merit, and most of the credit for the restoration of my Heavenly Palace goes to you. This fairy palace is completely what you deserve."

Li Nianfan still shook his head, "Not right."

The Jade Emperor's heart skipped a beat and his face turned pale. He hurriedly asked nervously, "Master Li, what are you dissatisfied with?"

"It's great here, but I feel unworthy because it's so great." Li Nianfan glanced at the Palace of the Saint of Merit, paused, and then said, "In fact, I was able to become a saint of merit because of luck, and helping the Heavenly Palace was also a matter of coincidence. Your Majesty and Your Majesty really don't have to do this."

The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother looked at Li Nianfan's sincere look, moved their mouths, and stopped talking.

If we didn't know that this holy body of merit was just something you snatched from the Heavenly Dao on a whim, and if we hadn't seen with our own eyes that the group of steamed bun dolls you made were actually innate spirits, we would have believed what you just said.

Master, you are pretending too much. You are like this... It's hard for us to cooperate with you!

Alas, accompanying a master is indeed not an easy job. It tests your mentality too much.

The seven fairies were also anxious and panicked, not knowing what to do.

"That... Mr. Li." At the critical moment, the Jade Emperor still bit the bullet and said, "You are a saint of merit. This is already a fact. No matter what, you deserve the title of Saint of Merit. Please don't refuse it anymore."

"This..." Li Nianfan's eyes seemed to turn red as he looked at the Jade Emperor. His sincere look was really irresistible, so he could only nod and say, "Okay."

Then, he shook his head helplessly and sighed, "You are like this... but it makes me feel a little embarrassed. I have the title of the Holy Lord of Merit, but I can't do anything. I want this Holy Body of Merit just to protect myself, but it is useless to others. Look at the giant spirit, he can at least move the pillars. I have nothing but merits, but I am just an ordinary person and can't do anything."

The Jade Emperor and others looked at each other and saw a bitter smile on each other's faces, and the corners of their mouths kept twitching. Listen, is this human language? This is killing us!

But no matter what, it was a great blessing that the master agreed.

Not far away, the giant spirit who had just repaired the South Gate of Heaven was rushing over, preparing to be closer to the master so that it would be easier to lick him.

Suddenly, when he heard the master call his name, his whole body was shocked. He was first in disbelief and panic, and then in ecstasy. His big mouth opened, and the smile almost spread to the back of his ears.

"Master called my name? Master, you must be complimenting me! Master, at least you remembered my name! Good, this is good! The peak of my life as the Giant Spirit God will begin from this moment."

The Jade Emperor did not dare to neglect him. He immediately straightened his face and said solemnly: "Today, all the heavens have witnessed that Master Li Nianfan is the first meritorious saint in the world from ancient times to the present. He should be a meritorious saint and be respected by all things in the world!"

"Om!"

As the Jade Emperor's voice fell, the seal of heaven and earth at the center of his eyebrows flashed, and a line of words popped out and shone in the air, and then sank into the world. It seemed that a phantom similar to the imperial edict emerged, which was recognized by heaven and earth and established.

Li Nianfan looked at this scene and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The imperial edict generated by the Jade Emperor was much more advanced than the imperial edicts in the mortal world. He learned a lot.

I will be an official in the future, right? And it seems that I am an official with a relatively high status...?

The Jade Emperor bowed and congratulated him, "Haotian has seen the Meritorious Saint!"

The gods who were watching did not dare to neglect him, and said in a very formal and respectful voice, "I have seen the Meritorious Saint!" "

Okay, it's just a title, only the capable Meritorious Saint can be considered the real Meritorious Saint."

Li Nianfan waved his hands speechlessly, but the next moment, his eyebrows suddenly raised, golden light appeared in his eyes, and he stared at the Jade Emperor and couldn't help but let out a light exclamation.

The Jade Emperor's whole body tensed up involuntarily, and he said anxiously, "Mr. Li, what...what happened?"

"Don't move yet." Li Nianfan said, and then he raised his hand. Endless golden light of merit suddenly burst out from his body. The rich golden light instantly enveloped the place like an ocean, dazzling everyone's eyes and making them hold their breath.

This feeling was like a beggar suddenly seeing 100 million in cash. This scene was unimaginable even in dreams.

It's worth it to see so many merits in this life!

Then, under the fixed and stunned gaze of everyone, Li Nianfan raised his hand and pointed slightly at the Jade Emperor.

Suddenly, the merits like water flowed towards the Jade Emperor, and some flowed to the Queen Mother, and a smaller part flowed to Zi Ye and Cheng Yi who were also stunned.

The four of them looked at the merit that was slowly approaching, and they only felt their mouths dry, their hearts began to pound at the highest frequency, and the blood in their bodies stopped flowing.

Merit!

Ah, the master has rewarded our merit!

Ziye and Chengyi were so excited that they didn't know what to do, and their minds were screaming over and over again.

Happiness came too suddenly!

At this moment, the Queen Mother's urgent voice came, "Quick! Don't be in a daze, use the merit to temper the magic weapon!"

Zi Ye and Cheng Yi woke up from their dreams.

Zi Ye quickly took off her hairpin and transferred the merit, while Cheng Yi transferred the merit to the orange ribbon on her body that was fluttering in the wind.

The Jade Emperor held a three-foot green sword, and the Queen Mother held a golden bracelet, letting the golden light of merit surround it for tempering.

They were so excited that their faces flushed even with their state of mind, and the smile on their mouths could not be suppressed at all.

The master was so awesome that he awarded merit without saying anything. He was so willful, this was so willful!

Merit is really too important, and it has many effects. In addition to the huge amount of merit required to become a saint, there are three most common effects. The first is to increase a person's mana, but this is the most wasteful and is generally only used when absolutely necessary, because it is too difficult to obtain merit, while there are many ways to increase mana.

The second is to condense a merit golden body, which requires a high cost and requires constant efforts to collect merit, which is often too difficult. The merit golden body is naturally a world away from the merit holy body, but once it succeeds, it is at least a good amulet, greatly improving life security, and is the first choice for survival.

The third is to integrate it into weapons!

This method has the highest cost-effectiveness and the fastest effect. For cultivators, magic weapons are like a second life. They are too important. Once they are integrated with merit, the power of the magic weapon will be greatly enhanced and become a merit magic weapon. If the merit is sufficient, it can even become a merit treasure. The power is incomparable, and it can even kill people without being affected by cause and effect! This is extremely perverted!

The two swords of the Avici and Yuantu of the Styx Patriarch are merit magic treasures. They can kill people without being affected by cause and effect, and are envied by people.

Not long ago, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother both suffered at the hands of the Styx Patriarch because their magic weapons were not as good as others. Now... the magic weapons can finally be greatly improved. How can they not be excited?

The gods and immortals around saw it and wanted to stare their eyes out. If they stuck to it, their saliva would flow out.

Li Nianfan naturally saw the reactions of the crowd, but his eyes revealed a complicated look.

He felt a little guilty.

In fact... these merits were originally what the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother deserved. After all, they rebuilt the Heavenly Palace and were rewarded by the Heavenly Palace. However... because the merits of heaven and earth became my golden finger, this led to the fact that the merits and rewards needed to be awarded through my hands.

In other words, I just returned their own things to them, but they had to be grateful to me in return, and then... if I wanted, I could even directly deduct their merits...

Wow!

I am so proud of being the Saint of Merit...
