The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 53 Behind the Brilliance
The ground around them began to tremble slightly.

Li Hao was stunned and looked around, and found that the broken mountains in the distance and the red sky seemed to be gradually fading.

Cleared the level? Is this Dead River Battlefield going to disappear?!

Li Hao was stunned. Everything happened so fast that he had no time to react.

Seeing the ground sinking and the small thatched cottage where he lived was about to collapse in the shaking, Li Hao quickly stepped out, and then his figure flashed and appeared at the stage in the center of the village.

Taking out the gold paper, Li Hao quickly placed it in the strange temple.

Suddenly, a brilliant golden light burst out in the temple, releasing a water-bloom barrier that surrounded and enveloped him.

Standing inside the barrier, Li Hao looked at the village outside, which was shaking violently as if the sky was falling and the earth was splitting apart. Everything was torn apart and blurred, and finally disappeared.

He returned to the narrow cave.

This old and short temple also lost its golden light and became ordinary, with two peeling and rotten statues and half-lip smiles.

The gold paper flew back like a silk thread and sank into Li Hao's palm, giving him a warm feeling.

Li Hao felt as if there was an extra spiritual aura in his body.

As his mind wandered, the golden thread appeared in his palm and turned into gold paper.

There are three lines of small words on the gold paper:

Name: Chong Er

Merit value: 100 (ranked 99th in Dayu Dynasty)

Achievements: Cleared Fengshan and Muhe.

……

"Is this the merit value? It doesn't seem to be anything special."

Li Hao looked at the page of gold paper carefully. He had heard from Second Master and Old Feng that the Dead River Battle Realm was divided into five levels with huge differences. The level he had just experienced should only be the lowest level of the Dead River Battle Realm, the Remorse-level.

You can gain merit points by destroying the Dead River battlefield. If you pass the level and make the Dead River disappear permanently, you will gain even more merit points, hundreds of times more than destroying it!
In other words, if he had just killed the black-robed scholar and destroyed the village, he would only get a little merit.

Except for the regret level.

There is also a Yinsha-level dead river above.

Underworld-level dead river.

And the Youdu-level Death River that Erye and the others are reluctant to step into easily.

As for the most terrifying River of Death, Erye and the others did not mention it. It is a place where saint-level beings like them will perish once they are involved.

Even the Youdu-level Death River has been listed as a forbidden area.

As for the underworld-level Death River, only the great masters of heaven and man dare to step into it.

This Death River has existed for a long time. Although the Li family’s responsibility is not to suppress the Death River, they also have some relevant information. If they destroy the Yinsha-level Death River, they can get about 10 points of merit.

Destroy the Netherworld-level Dead River and gain about 100 points of merit.

But if you clear the Netherworld-level Dead River, you can get 10,000 points!

As for what the merit points are used for, no one knows yet. It is said that the Tianzhao Divine General Mansion, which has suppressed the Dead River for generations, has not been able to figure out the role of merit points.

Since ancient times, there have been many rumors about merit values. Some say that they can be exchanged with gods for reincarnation after death, some say that they can accumulate blessings for rebirth and offset the karma of killing, and so on.

But the rumors stop with the big guys.

Since both old men said that no one has been able to figure out the function of merit points, then that must be the case.

The only function at the moment is probably that it has become something similar to "points". Through the amount of merit points, one can roughly estimate the number of existing strong people in Dayu's territory.

Yes, it exists.

If a person with merit points dies, the merit points will disappear and he will be removed from the list.

Therefore, for many top forces, this has become something that can detect the life and death of others.

The two elders should also be on the list, I wonder what rank they are... Li Hao's thoughts moved, and as if sensing his thoughts, the handwriting on the gold paper changed, and a list unfolded.

Merit list.

The first name that caught my eye was: Wang Zhendong.

Merit value: 9372.

The second person is Wang Tianchong.

The merit value is 7328.

The third person’s surname is also Wang!

Fourth, fifth... Li Hao took a quick look and found that among the top ten, there were six people with the surname Wang.

Looking further down, among the top thirty, there are fifteen people with the surname Wang!
Li Hao's face changed slightly, and he felt a little heavy in his heart besides being surprised.

Although it was the Wang family's duty to suppress the Death River, countless lives of Wang family members were lost for this duty.

The merit points behind each name on the list may seem like cold golden numbers, but in reality they represent countless life-and-death struggles fraught with danger.

This is no different from beheading demons at the border. You know, the Li family beheaded demons at the border to defend the country, and six of the nine sons of the previous generation died in the battle, which was extremely tragic.

Now it seems that the other divine generals' palaces are not much more relaxed.

After all, there are only so many members of the Wang family that he can see on the list. Who knows how many more there are who have been on the list but disappeared?

This aging dynasty is still prosperous, the country is peaceful, the people are healthy, young girls are playing on flower boats, young boys are riding horses in the suburbs, and vendors are selling their wares everywhere, without any worries. Such a scene of thousands of lights that the people are accustomed to... but how many nameless heroic corpses are silently held and protected in the darkness? !
"This prosperous era...is hard-won." Li Hao murmured to himself.

Deep down, I feel awe and awe for the names above.

He continued to look down, but did not see Erye's name. Perhaps he used a pseudonym.

But Li Hao saw the nickname that Old Feng had mentioned: Bu Liuxing.

Ranked 35th, the merit value is 3201.

Li Hao couldn't help but be stunned. He was basically certain that to be able to get such a high merit value and have this name, he must be the Saint Thief!

"Mr. Feng is a loner, but he has such a high merit value..." Li Hao's eyes became solemn.

Apart from Erye, Fengye has few friends.

In other words, his merit points were basically earned through fighting.

Alone in the town of Mu River.

But Feng Ye has a bad reputation. He is a thief who is despised by all the forces in the world.

The world is pointing fingers at him.

Why would he take the trouble to do such a thing?

Maybe there is an answer, maybe there isn't.

Li Hao was silent, and suddenly felt that the old man who was smiling at him while fishing was just someone he was familiar with, but he did not understand him.

After a while.

He continued to look down.

Not long after, I saw another familiar name, Jian Wudao!

Just like the Wang family, he used his real name.

You should know that, except for the Wang family, most of the names above are pseudonyms.

For example, the thief's surname is Bu Liuxing, so how could it not be this surname?

Sword Master... Li Hao narrowed his eyes and saw his ranking, 76th.

The merit value is 738.

This means that he has destroyed at least seven Hades-level Death Rivers, or cleared seven Sorrow-level Death Rivers.

Li Hao has already seen that the Merit List cannot represent all strength. For example, the Thief Saint and the Sword Saint are both in the Fourth Stage Realm, but their merit values ​​differ by four or five times.

There were also many experts, most of whom did not participate in the suppression of the Dead River.

After all, solving the problem of the Dead River would not bring any benefits except the rewards from the court, and no one knew the use of these illusory merit points.

The world is hilarious, all come for profit.

No profit can not afford to be early.

This also led to an extreme shortage of staff in the Mohe Division and a tense situation.

At the same time, this is also the reason why he can rank in the top 100 of Dayu by clearing a regret-level Death River.

Li Hao sighed lightly and put the gold paper away.

Suddenly, he sensed a slight movement and realized that someone was approaching.

Li Hao suddenly reacted.

Looking at the temple in front of me, it was slowly sinking into the ground and seemed to be disappearing.

This temple is connected to the Fengshanmu River.

Now that the Dead River has disappeared, the temple has naturally disappeared with it.

and many more.

Li Hao was suddenly shocked. This dead river was so simple. Could it be the one that was prepared to test the freshmen a year later?

Now it's gone...

What else will they test for after that year?
Good guy.

Isn't this equivalent to tearing up all the test papers of these candidates in advance? !
Li Hao was speechless, he just wanted to teach the scholar how to paint but never thought that he could pass the level!
slip away.

Li Hao hurriedly moved away and disappeared from here in an instant.

When Li Hao fled in panic, many people all over the world were alarmed.
