Once again meeting, these powerful ones were somewhat dissatisfied with Yang Chen, more or less.
After all, for the past year, Yang Chen had been in closed-door cultivation, making it difficult for those who wanted to get close to him, leaving them all with cold faces.
They were all well-known figures, and being rejected like this, they couldn’t be content in their hearts.
However, considering Yang Chen’s current status, being the favorite of so many Daoist Ancestors, even if they were unhappy, they didn’t dare to speak out and show it on their faces.
Yang Chen could easily see that these Destiny Realm experts had quite a few opinions about him. He knew this, but it was all an unavoidable matter.
When the time came, Yang Chen was still polite and said, "Yang Chen, I pay my respects to all the Daoist Ancestor seniors and also to all Daoist friends."
Such an attitude put many powerful people in a more relaxed mood towards Yang Chen.
Ye Shan Dao Ancestor saw Yang Chen and laughed heartily as he always did: "Yang Chen, my friend, we old fellows have been discussing your affairs for quite some time. Now, we finally reached some results. You can take a look and see if it meets your expectations."
Yang Chen replied, "No matter how the seniors decide, I, as a junior, feel that the decision will be the best for me."
At these words, the Daoist Ancestors rubbed their beards with great satisfaction.
Although Yang Chen’s status was now at its peak, he still showed great respect to these old fellows. Just this point alone was enough for them to think highly of Yang Chen.
Spirit munication Ancestor nodded with a smile: "Don’t worry, young friend Yang Chen, we old fellows have undoubtedly made the best arrangement for you. Just to give an example, according to normal calculations, killing a Heavenly Destiny Realm expert would reward you with at least hundreds of thousands of Jiyu Essence. Now you have more than twenty Destiny Realm experts under your mand, with that many Heaven-separated Realm experts. Just counting the killing, the reward of Jiyu Essence should be no less than 10 million."
"If we really calculate it based on killing, you can get roughly 18 million Jiyu Essence. But what you did was not just kill these powerful beings, but also purify and save them. This carries great significance. You not only caused a great loss of bat power to the Netherworld but also strengthened our human race. Therefore, after discussing with these old fellows, we decided to award you 30 million Jiyu Essence."
Upon hearing this, Yang Chen’s heart was filled with joy.
With 30 million Jiyu Essence, he had successfully accumulated 50 million Jiyu Essence needed to promote him to the Protector Emperor.
"Yang Chen, with this much Jiyu Essence in hand, you can now be promoted to the Protector Emperor. Once you bee the Protector Emperor, you probably won’t stay in the Earth Spirit Hall for long," Qu Feng Daozu stroked his beard.
Yang Chen was slightly surprised, "How did the seniors know about this?"
No one knew that he would leave after achieving the title of Protector Emperor.
"Haha, young friend Yang Chen, even if you don’t say anything, it’s not a particularly hidden matter. It’s not strange for us old fellows to know," the powerful ones laughed.
Upon further thought, Yang Chen understood.
Indeed, it seemed like he had underestimated these Daoist Ancestor experts. Just by grasping a slight clue, they could deduce many things.
Although it seemed like a secret to him, perhaps these Daoist Ancestor experts had already figured it out.
Yang Chen chuckled and shook his head, "So that’s how it is. Indeed, as the seniors have said, once I bee the Protector Emperor, I will leave immediately. So, I will exchange all of this Jiyu Essence for merits and bee the Protector Emperor."
At these words, many Destiny Realm experts couldn’t help but gasp in surprise, finding it hard not to admire Yang Chen.
If Yang Chen were to bee the Protector Emperor, the significance would be different.
The title of Protector Emperor was one of the three highest merits in the entire human race.
Just by displaying this merit, Yang Chen’s status would already have reached an unparalleled level. In the Earth Spirit Hall, not even the Daoist Ancestors would dare to treat him disrespectfully.
Would these Destiny Realm figures dare to provoke Yang Chen? That would be a suicidal act.
The status of the Protector Emperor was inviolable and could not be infringed upon.
Take Silver City for example.
If Yang Chen had been the Protector Emperor before, even without the judgment of these Daoist Ancestors, just a single word from Yang Chen would have been enough to end Silver City’s life.
Absolute merit and absolute status.
Protector Emperor, how many Daoist Ancestors have only reached the level of Protector Emperor?
In the Destiny Realm, only a few individuals in the past and present have had this kind of status.
"You kid, you sure are realistic. Alright, then we will only give you five million Jiyu Essence. From now on, congratulations on being the supreme ’Protector Emperor’ of our human race. From now on, you will be known as Yang Chen Emperor Lord," Ye Shan Dao Ancestor laughed.
Yang Chen immediately bowed in thanks, "Thank you, senior."
"You don’t have to thank us, this is what you rightfully deserve," Spirit munication Ancestor stroked his beard and said, "Alright, back to the main topic. We were just talking about you going back to the Taiyuan Star System. Now that we’re sure about that, we need to discuss the following matters."
"What do the seniors mean..." Yang Chen asked.
"It’s like this, since you’re going back, those Netherworld experts you’ve subjugated and purified seem to need to acpany you back as well," Qu Feng Dao Ancestor said.
"Yes, indeed," Yang Chen guessed some of the Daoist Ancestors’ intentions.
"Could you leave some of these powerful experts in the Earth Spirit Hall?" Ye Shan Dao Ancestor stroked his chin.
"Of course, we won’t take the powerful experts you’ve purified for nothing," Spirit munication Ancestor quickly added: "For the Realmless experts you’ve purified, for each one you leave behind, we’ll give you 100,000 Jiyu Essence. For each Heavenly-separated Realm expert, we’ll give you one million. As for the Early Destiny Realm, it’s 10 million, Mid-stage Destiny Realm, 30 million, and Late-stage Destiny Realm, 50 million!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present gasped in awe, feeling their scalps go numb.
It seemed too extravagant.
million, 30 million, 50 million.
Jiyu Essence was being offered like it cost nothing.
However, they all knew that these Daoist Ancestors’ offers didn’t give Yang Chen any advantage. On the contrary, Yang Chen was actually at a disadvantage personally.
Are you kidding? The bat power of a Destiny Realm expert wasn’t just about eliminating an enemy’s Destiny Realm bat power. It was also about having an extra Destiny Realm bat power of your own.
A single Destiny Realm expert could acplish a lot of things on their own. The deterrence they posed to the enemy alone was immeasurable. Especially for the Late-stage Destiny Realm, it could no longer be measured by Jiyu Essence alone.
Offering 50 million, what does that really count for?
Yang Chen listened to the requests of these powerful figures, stroking his chin and fell into deep thought.
At first, he had guessed part of their requests. Now, it seems that they weren’t too far off from what he had thought.
Tens of millions of Jiyu Essence was placed in front of him, which was indeed a huge temptation for him.
Could it be that he should try to challenge the legendary merit title once again?
’Heavenly Defender’?
