Ye Xingyun rose to prominence with the Merit System. Starting as an insignificant cultivator, he made a name for himself on the Battlefield of Realms, used his strength to deliver face-slapping blows to villains, and earned military merit. He formed a Merit Squad and laid the first foundations of an order where good and evil were repaid in kind. After returning to his sect, he dominated the sect tournament, rooted out traitors, established his foundation with nine revolutions of merit, founded the Merit Enforcement Hall, and transformed the sect's culture.
He then traveled through the Eastern Domain, seized the legacy of an immortal residence, gathered the fortune of countless people, and overpowered established powers. After unifying the Eastern Domain and establishing a merit-based order, he formed a nine-revolution golden core, advanced to the Nascent Soul realm, and received the homage of ten thousand sects. After ascending to the Immortal Realm, he faced every hardship without fear, founded the Starcloud Immortal Court, subdued the Northern Cold Immortal Domain, and fused the power of chaos to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm. With the Great Dao of Merit, he reshaped the laws of the Immortal Realm.
He went on to wage war in the Central Immortal Domain, stunning the world at the Myriad Races Tournament. He ventured deep into the forbidden lands of chaos to comprehend the origin, confronted his destined enemy in the contest for the path to the throne, and broke through to the Immortal Emperor realm in a battle to the death. To eradicate the demonic scourge threatening the universe, he rallied forces from the heavens to form an alliance, ruthlessly cut down traitors, and swept across the demonic domain. At the brink of defeat, he sacrificed himself to the Heavenly Merit Net, purifying the apocalyptic demonic source.
In the end, Ye Xingyun was resurrected through the power of prayers from across the heavens. He completely annihilated the Demon Ancestor and eradicated the demonic scourge, earning the title “Great Emperor of Merit.” He ruled over the Myriad Worlds, established a cosmic merit network, divided the cycles of reincarnation among the realms, enlightened the stars, and spread the teachings to all living beings. He carried the philosophy of merit across the universe, became one with its laws, and guarded the heavens for all eternity, creating an immortal legend of rising from humble beginnings to the pinnacle and determining the fate of all creation through merit.
