Chapter 1383: Chapter 1339: Merits of the Holy Son - Garnering Merits! (Additional Update)

Beneath the dim Earth, there lies a shockingly vast rift, unimaginable to the ordinary tribespeople living above the Human World!

The stronger the power, the higher the status, and the greater the responsibility!

Emperors dominate epochs, Kings command mountains and rivers, God Kings preside over the Netherworld!

At this moment, Xiao Chen’s understanding of these notions became clearer. The words passed down in the Desolate Wilds were not merely rumors but had a real source!

It was the real actions taken generation after generation by the Human Warriors to keep their promises!

Kings command the vastness of mountains and rivers, protecting the roots of their tribes, yet deep within the Earth, there lies an endless rift, a hidden danger that could completely shatter the Desolate Wilds at any moment.

"The proliferation and cultivation of all living beings in the heavens naturally draw Spiritual Power from the Desolate Wilds, and the blood and bones of living beings return deep into the Earth after decay, naturally replenishing it with this Spiritual Power. This is the cycle of power," said the Sun-slaying God King slowly, as if explaining to Xiao Chen.

"And when the Earth is wounded, it naturally needs Spiritual Power for nourishment. However, there are so many beings in All Heavens and Myriads of Realms that consume too much Spiritual Power, making it impossible for the Earth to heal on its own. We must passively repair it."

Hearing the words of the Sun-slaying God King, Xiao Chen nodded.

Suddenly, the Sun-slaying God King paused, his gaze turning to Xiao Chen before he spoke again, "The East Emperor, under the Eastern Emperor Crown, has appointed you as a Saint Child, which has already spread throughout the Eastern Desolate Land, has it not?"

"Yes!" Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen nodded. Although the East Emperor had not officially issued the Imperial Edict to spread the news across all five domains of the Human Realm, his title as a Saint Child was indeed known throughout the Eastern Wasteland, which was a fact.

And it was not just him; even the names of the other three great Saint Children had spread throughout the Eastern Wasteland.

Moreover, Xiao Chen also felt a hint of the air of Saint Child’s fruit position from the incarnation of the Purple Dragon Saint Child.

One must know that in the Eastern Desolate Land, the East Emperor is the spokesperson for the luck of the human race. His Imperial Command had not been officially issued, yet the fortune belonging to the Saint Child was already beginning to converge—this was something Xiao Chen could not comprehend!

"Forbidden Sacred Child."

Hearing the words of the Sun-slaying God King, Xiao Chen felt somewhat embarrassed. Among the four great Saint Children of the Eastern Wasteland, he was considered the lowest ranked.

"All flattery from the Warriors of the Desolate Wilds, not to be taken seriously!"

"How can it not be taken seriously!"

However, the Sun-slaying God King, with a smile in his eyes, suddenly became stern and exclaimed.

"My Divine Marquis Palace’s God King surely deserves a forbidden title. Is it because your talent is lacking, or you don’t have the qualifications?"

Seeing the sudden outburst of the Sun-slaying God King, Xiao Chen was startled, unable to understand as the tone of the Sun-slaying God King had changed too quickly!

"Of course not!" Xiao Chen responded.

"That’s good. A person who comes out of my Marquis God Mansion should surely have confidence!"

Seeing Xiao Chen’s expression, the Sun-slaying God King then nodded satisfactorily.

"Xiao Chen, let me tell you why the East Emperor has not yet issued the Imperial Edict to officially appoint you. It is because you have not yet reached his standards!"

"The standards of the East Emperor?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen was stunned. What exactly is the level of an emperor’s standards, to ascend as a great emperor or to be a powerhouse of the Nine Heavens in the World of Ten Thousand Paths?

Wait a minute!

In a flash, Xiao Chen realized that the Sun-slaying God King’s words referred to "you all," indicating it wasn’t just him, but also the other Eastern Wasteland Saint Children!

The other great Saint Children were stronger than him but they had still not met the standards of the East Emperor, so it probably wasn’t a matter of cultivation level!

"Could it possibly be about the fruit position of the Saint Child!" The next moment, Xiao Chen reacted and exclaimed.

"It seems you’re quite responsive," said the Sun-slaying God King with a smile!

Indeed.

Xiao Chen felt relieved. He had been contemplating the position of the Saint Child for a long time, hoping to garner the fortune to manifest it, but every attempt had been fruitless.

He was completely unable to condense it into a tangible state. It always seemed to be missing something. This fortune of the fruit position was different from his title as God King, it seemed more like direct control rather than relying on fortune through a title.

Previously, he had sensed this kind of aura on the incarnation of the Purple Dragon Saint Child, but now the Sun-slaying God King said that none of the great Saint Children had yet completed it.

"Among the Saint Children of the Eastern Wasteland, your starting point was the lowest, so it’s normal not to know some things," the Sun-slaying God King said.

"In fact, the aura of the Saint Child’s fruit position has already begun to gather on you, although it is too thin to manifest, and the other Saint Children must have gradually been condensing their own fruit positions as well, albeit with varying degrees, none have yet to fully solidify the fruit position!"

"To truly solidify the fruit position of a Saint Child, it’s not just about having fortune, but also requires tangible achievements, for the entire human race!"

Xiao Chen listened seriously. Clearly, the Sun-slaying God King was providing guidance for him.

"Last time in the God Clan Small World, when you saw that incarnation of the Purple Dragon Saint Child, what do you think he was there for!"

"Merits!"

"This requires no thought; it is clear that the Purple Dragon Saint Child is going to the God Clan’s Small World to rack up achievements for himself!"

Xiao Chen felt puzzled again. The previous opportunity to invade the God Clan’s Small World was so favorable, why did the Purple Dragon Saint Child only send one of his avatars there?

"You know too little about those Secretive Grand Clans and powerful King-level Tribes. The fact that the God Clan’s Small World only saw the deployment of an avatar signifies that his main body is elsewhere, waiting for even greater feats to be accomplished!"

Hmm.

Xiao Chen awakened; a single sentence from the Sun-slaying God King enlightened him: the power held by these Hidden Families and Aristocratic Families is definitely beyond his imagination!

"Lord of the hall, are you saying that the Purple Dragon Saint Child, under the arrangement of the Purple Dragon King Division, is accumulating feats to solidify his position as a Saint Child?"

"Exactly!"

Now Xiao Chen truly understood how important it is to have the support of a powerful force backing one, which could even help with cheating—though this wasn’t considered cheating, as the backing of such forces itself reflects the strength of a warrior.

If this is the case for the Purple Dragon King Division, the terrifying scale of the long-standing Taihao Royal Blood Family is unimaginable!

The Purple Dragon Saint Child under the tribe’s arrangement is furiously accumulating feats; where then would the Taihao Saint Child be stationed?

However, the next moment, Xiao Chen felt a shiver. He raised his head to look at the Sun-slaying God King.

"Young one thanks you greatly, Lord of the Hall."

At that moment, he suddenly realized why the Sun-slaying God King wanted him to sit tight at the Great Rift. The Great Rift pertained to the safety of the Human World’s Earth; as long as he could prevent its spread, maintaining stability in the Human World would be the greatest achievement!

Securing the position of a Saint Child would then be within easy reach!

"Haha, you are a God King of my Marquis God Mansion; the Marquis God Mansion is your support. When it comes to achievements, no Great Aristocratic Family among All Heavens and Myriads of Realms dares to compare with my Marquis God Mansion!"

Seeing that Xiao Chen understood, the Sun-slaying God King laughed heartily.

"Originally, the Decaying Wood God King was stationed in the Southern Domain’s Great Rift. Now that you are also to be promoted to the seventh plane of kingship, you are more than capable of taking that position. When the time comes, you will replace Decaying Wood."

"This junior understands. I will handle the handover with Decaying Wood God King when the time comes." Xiao Chen bowed deeply once more.

Soon, Xiao Chen followed the Sun-slaying God King back to the Divine Marquis Hall. Looking at the dim surroundings of the hall, Xiao Chen couldn’t help but take a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil inside him.

"Alright, this King has told you everything that needed to be said; the rest is up to you!"

Similarly, as he stepped out of the Great Rift, the Sun-slaying God King solemnly said to Xiao Chen.

"Remember, you are a king who has emerged from my Marquis God Mansion. In all generations, the Marquis God Mansion has awe-inspiringly dominated All Heavens and Myriads of Realms; you must not tarnish the prestige of our Human Race God King!"

"This junior will remember!"

As Xiao Chen’s words ended, the figure of the Sun-slaying God King disappeared within the Divine Marquis Hall.

And Xiao Chen then proceeded to his residence in the Netherworld’s Small World.

"Greetings, God King."

Seeing Xiao Chen’s return, two figures appeared outside the Marquis God Mansion, showing a trace of excitement and quickly bowed down in respect, who were the two followers who had pledged their allegiance when Xiao Chen was first promoted to Divine Marquis.

Over the past hundred years, although Xiao Chen had not resided in the Marquis God Mansion, these two followers had been dutifully safeguarding Xiao Chen’s mansion.

"Stand up. This time, follow me back to the Gu Yuan Tribe, staying to guard the Marquis God Mansion has been too hard on you two!"

"Thank you for your great kindness, God King!"

The two simultaneously burst out in loud voices. The hundred years of stationing, they even thought Xiao Chen had forgotten them.

After all, even when they first came to pledge allegiance, in their hearts, they never imagined that in just a short century, such immense changes would occur; Xiao Chen had risen directly from being a Divine Marquis to now being a renowned God King across All Heavens and Myriads of Realms!

This made many who were hesitant and wanted to join under Xiao Chen at the time, deeply regretful.

Now that Xiao Chen allowed them to follow by his side, no longer stationed in the desolate Marquis God Mansion, these hundreds of years of hardship were worthwhile!

Seeing the excited expressions of the two, Xiao Chen felt a bit embarrassed—he had indeed forgotten about them!

"Greetings, Master." The voice from outside directly called out the three disciples from the inner depths of the mansion.

They neatly appeared outside the mansion, respectfully saluting Xiao Chen.

"Stand up."

Xiao Chen waved his hand, then stepped into the main hall.

The three disciples, having ascended to Divine Marquis, did not build new Marquis God Mansions; instead, they all resided in his former Marquis God Mansion. Moreover, the Marquis God Mansion was very spacious. It wouldn’t just accommodate three people; even a hundredfold more could live there.

Main hall of the mansion.

Xiao Chen sized up the three disciples standing before him.

During the brief period they hadn’t seen each other, he noticed some changes in his three disciples; the sharpness that was originally on them had smoothed out somewhat.

Of course, this observation didn’t apply to his fifth disciple, Huang Xiaotian, who had always been very affable and slick.
