A Rant/Discussion of Merit Objectively, Deluxe Merit is broken. So far, we've heard of a few ways to get it: Doing overwhelmingly good deeds in this life or a past life, finding it and fighting over it like was implied at the first reveal, or by just having ungodly amounts of power/cultivation, even unknowingly, like the MC did. It is implied that the reincarnation system was broken until a couple of chapters ago, but if Merit passes between reincarnations, then there are random people born with this broken power and no understanding of how to use it. The statement from the last chapter about having to have saved the world in a previous life brings up more issues, such as wether or not the supply of Merit is limited or not, conflicting with the statement in the chapter where the MC acquired "the entire world's" supply of merit to become a Deluxe Merit Saint. If multiple people perform such world-saving acts, does the person who saved the world later take some of the first persons Merit? Does more Merit spontaneously generate for the second savior? If the supply is limited, then even people waiting to reincarnate or the Saints sealed in the Heavenly Palace would lose merit as living people acquired it, and if more is generated, then our river of souls waiting to reincarnate could possess enough merit to directly turn people into Deluxe Merit Saints - after all, it is implied that at least a hundred thousand years could have passed since the Acheron stopped flowing. And every deluxe merit saint has to be known and tracked from the perspective of an enemy - after all, as we've seen repeatedly, to attack one in even the slightest of ways (ruffling MC's hair with a blocked wind attack) is to invite the world to punish you. The world's retribution also scales with the strength of the offense, as well as (presumably) the difficulty of attacking the offender. From events of past chapters, I'm assuming that an "offense" towards a Deluxe Merit Saint is anything that affects the state of the Deluxe Merit Saint without their permission, approval, or knowledge - after all, MC probably wouldn't care about wind that is just the breath of an animal flying by his cloud, indistinguishable from normal wind. This definition of offense is worsened when you consider that reincarnated people generally have their memories wiped, so any attack on any civilian center can turn into a death sentence for the attacker with zero warning. Assuming that the Merit does not reinforce the body in any way, ignoring the fact that MC got the Merit from a body cultivation manual, then a viable strategy to deal with newfound or newly reincarnated Deluxe Merit Saints could be to have orphaned demons of a reasonable power kill them before the world can retaliate, so that retribution is limited to them and the Merit user is sent back to the reincarnation cycle. However, Saints like those in the Heavenly Palace or the Underworld would be nearly impossible to kill, as you need someone as strong as or stronger than a Saint to even harm them before the Merit retaliates. This is, of course, assuming that the world can only retaliate against the direct offender to the Deluxe Merit Saint and not any organizations behind them or their bloodlines, which it probably could depending on the severity of the offense. I'm honestly surprised that some Saint like the one in charge of the Underworld hasn't decided to have a bunch of people commit good deeds and then take their merit, like it was implied MC did and Other Saints can do, to empower themselves to the point where they become like the MC - after all, there seems to be no prerequisite of a good deed if you're taking it from someone else, which raises the question of if taking Merit counts as an offense to the Deluxe Merit Saint. In conclusion, this power is stupidly broken, and until more specifics are revealed, hopefully soon, I'm sticking with that.

As for the workers, they started from the acquaintances in the chat group before they transmigrated. From four to six to thirty, the prototype of the base was basically completed. They began to contact and fight the mutated humans and brought back an injured female mercenary. [Why I'm reading this book: The style of the novel is more relaxed and funny, which plays down the cruelty of the apocalypse.] It could be said that the players were quite well-shaped. At least, they were remembered by others. They were not the faceless workers of the so-called " Fourth Calamity." Furthermore, it was very detailed and reasonable to use modern technology to restore production from scratch in the apocalypse. It had the taste of doomsday survival guides like " Friends of Military and Civil Talents "," Militia Military Training Manual "," One Hundred Thousand Whys ", and " Veterans Getting Rich Manual ". Why not read this book: Many people feel that no one will play this kind of realistic game with a bunch of players, and they are very disgusted with treating players as livestock.

'Squid's novel is still worth recommending.' 15:" The Great Ming State Preceptor " The author started from a unique perspective, writing from the direction of the historical trend.

Whether it's the writing style, plot, character description, etc., I think it's all first-class! Are there any more such pure love novels? I want to read them, sob sob sob " Deep Sea Ember ":" Deep Sea Ember " is a fascinating novel.

The characters in the book were all intelligent. The plot was complete and meticulous, giving people a lot to watch. The story was set in a world that had been completely overturned and fragmented, making people want to know more. All in all, this book is worth reading. I hope everyone can support the author even more. 19." Cultivation in the Chaos of the Demonic Martial World ":" Cultivation in the Chaos of the Demonic Martial World " is an unforgettable novel. With his unique creativity and superb writing skills, the author, plagiarist, successfully created a character who attacked the foreign world. The main character of the story, Fang Xi, transmigrated to a cultivation world full of monsters and martial artists and began his wonderful adventure. The author cleverly combined the rules of the cultivation world with the heavy blows of the foreign world, bringing a refreshing reading experience to the readers. The plot was compact, the characters were vivid, and it was fascinating. The plagiarist's writing style was unique, full of imagination and creativity. Whether it was from the content of the book, or from the perspective of life, emotions, psychology, society, and history, this book gave people inspiration and thought. I strongly recommend 'Cultivating in the Demonic Martial World' and give it a four-star recommendation index. "Who told him to cultivate!" "Who told him to cultivate!" It was a nonsensical but imaginative novel. The author combined immortal cultivation with relaxing and interesting elements to create a unique reading experience. Although some of the ideas might not be rigorous enough, the book was easy and interesting enough to make people read happily. Don't be too serious. Smiling is also a form of enjoyment. Crow's new book made people laugh out loud. The author's imagination was admirable, and at the same time, they were looking forward to more funny elements. Although the overall structure was a little small and the plot was a little retarded, this book still brought joy and inspiration to people. On the whole, this was a humorous book about cultivation.

How much merit can I become an immortal?

Those who want to become immortals should set up 1,300 good deeds. Those who want to become immortals should set up 300 good deeds. However, this was a saying in Taoist books that advised good deeds. In myths and legends, there were also cases where some people were favored by immortals in the process of doing good deeds. After investigation, they were accepted as disciples and taught the method of becoming immortals. There were also people who did good deeds and accumulated merit to ascend to become immortals, but there was no absolute standard.

Viper wanted to make the gods remember her kindness for the rest of their lives, but the gods fell. Zi Sangyue had once sworn not to kill anyone, but he had broken his vows and killed many people for Mo Lian. "Didn't you say you'd rather die than hurt people?" I thought you would come up and block the knife for me. However…the current situation is very interesting." Zi Sangyue stared at the poisonous snake that had trapped him. She smiled gently."My wife doesn't want me to get hurt. They want to hurt my beloved wife, so this is the only way." Mo Lian thought,…Alright, but since when did he become so familiar with calling her "Madam"? [It's not purely an ancient saying. In the later stages, it will involve the Reincarnation Demon God.
