Chapter 340

After getting the blood marrow, Gu Ding left the little dark room.

He had so many merit points that he could not choose what he wanted to redeem at the moment, so he simply let Lilliath and the others receive their rewards first. He could take his time to choose in the local area network, so as not to waste the others' time.

After Gu Ding came out, the second person to enter was Lilliath.

Lilliath looked a little excited, and her expression reminded Gu Ding of the time they used to go shopping together.

"Looks like Lili won't recover anytime soon." After Lilliath entered the little dark room, Gu Ding could not help but laugh.

However, Gu Ding did not expect Lilliath to come out so soon.

"How did you get out so fast this time?" Gu Ding could not help but ask.

"I've already chosen what I want. When I go in, I'll just pick it up and put it in the Inventory," Liliath said proudly. "I have less than a million merit points left. Who wants them?"

"You've spent more than sixty billion?!" Gu Ding stared at Lilliath with wide eyes.

"These merit points can only be used in the ruins. What's the point of keeping them if you don't use them up?" Lilliath rolled her eyes at Gu Ding and threw the token into his hand. "There's more than seven hundred thousand left. You can transfer it all over."

The others in the Hall of Merit looked on enviously. More than seven hundred thousand merit points were thrown away just like that. She was indeed generous.

Gu Ding did not hesitate to take the token and transfer it to his account. He then returned the token to Lilliath.

Ayesha was the next to go in after Liliath. She came out within a few minutes with a satisfied expression on her face.

"Did you spend all of your fifty billion too?" Gu Ding could not help but ask.

"Yes!" Ayesha nodded vigorously and handed the token to Gu Ding. "There's more than six hundred thousand in there."

Gu Ding was a little speechless as he took Elsa's token and accepted the rest of the merit points without hesitation. He then looked down at the projection of the item list in front of him.

The third person to go in was Tagore. It did not take long for him to come out, but it was normal. For Tagore, more than ten billion merit points were enough to buy food. It had less than a hundred thousand merit points left, and it transferred all of them to Gu Ding.

Biggie was the fourth to enter. He had an additional Four-star God's Longsword at his waist and handed the token to Dockett. "The system automatically rewarded you with a 4-star divine saber, a 4-star armor, and a bottle of elixirs left behind by the cultivation civilization. I didn't see any five-star longswords, so I didn't exchange for anything. Dockett, I'll transfer all the merit points to you. See if there's anything you need and just buy it. Transfer the remaining merit points to Robert and let him choose. "

Dockett took the token and transferred the Merit Points before entering the small dark room.

This time, he spent more than half an hour in there.

On the other hand, Gu Ding was picking out some necessities with Neptune's help.

"What do you think of this 4-star Divine Fire Spark?" Gu Ding suddenly saw a Divine Fire Spark.

"Don't even think about it. Use the best one for your Burning Sky Divine Power. The other three Divine Fires are all five-star and above. There's no need for you to lower your requirements and use a four-star one. You'll definitely have a chance to find a five-star Divine Fire Spark when you enter the Cosmic Sea. "Neptune immediately rejected Gu Ding's idea.

"That bottle of Phoenix Blood Nirvana Pill from the cultivation civilization is so expensive. There are only three pills in a bottle, but it costs fifteen billion merit points." Gu Ding could not help but sigh.

"Cut the crap. Hurry up and tick the option. Bid for it as soon as we enter the small dark room." Neptune urged. This bottle of pills was the first item he suggested Gu Ding buy.

"You have no idea how powerful the Cultivation Civilization is. This civilization is one of the most prosperous civilizations in human history. It has been around since ancient times and only declined in the recent ancient times. However, the secret manuals, pills, and even divine powers left behind by the cultivation civilization are very powerful. This kind of Phoenix Blood Nirvana Pill could be considered an extremely high-grade pill even in the ancient times. It was refined from the blood of the divine beast phoenix and is a powerful pill to enhance Vitality. When your Imperial Nature of Nature is cultivated to the Emperor Body Realm, the Vitality energy provided by these three pills will save you countless cultivation time. "

"Divine beast? Tagore has also been promoted to deity. Can his blood be used for alchemy? " Gu Ding said as he looked at Tagore, who was lying on his shoulder. Tagore flicked his ears and slapped Gu Ding's face to the side.

"I forgot that because there were no divine beasts in your era, the concept of divine beasts has been forgotten," Neptune explained.

"The various life domains in the Grand Cosmos Sea contain innumerable species of creatures. However, since ancient times, it has been recognized that there are only one hundred and eight types of divine beasts. Any member of these 108 divine beasts possessed the cultivation of a deity from birth, and by the time they were still in their infancy, they would be able to fight across an entire major grade. In their adulthood, their cultivation would be at the pinnacle of a Supreme Deity, and there were even members of certain species who could surpass the barrier of a Supreme Deity during their adulthood. However, there is one thing that these one hundred and eight races have in common. Any member, once they grow to maturity, will automatically cross the barrier of deity and become a third-grade life form. They are also known as true gods. "

"Deities are only second-grade life forms. There is an essential difference in the quality of life between them and true gods. This difference is even greater than the difference between deities and ordinary humans. Any deity, as long as they have not crossed the second-grade life form boundary, is less than an ant in front of a true god. They can be easily killed with a glance. "

"Can humans really become so powerful?" Gu Ding's blood was boiling as he listened.

"Not only were humans one of the top races, but they even ruled the entire Cosmic Sea when they were at their strongest. At that time, the Bug Tribe retreated to a corner and the entire Demon Tribe, including the divine beast clans, became subordinates of humans. The gathering places of various races were open to human powerhouses. Humans could be seen everywhere in the Cosmic Sea. Unfortunately, such a powerful era could not withstand the catastrophe of the end of the world … "

"Catastrophe? What happened? "Gu Ding quickly asked.

"I don't have enough authority, so I don't know the specific situation. I only know that there was a catastrophe in that era. That catastrophe caused the death of almost all the human powerhouses. The inheritance of countless civilizations was cut off, and the human race entered a period of decline. "Neptune only had a rough idea of what happened in that era.

Gu Ding did not ask any more questions. Instead, he continued to choose the items he wanted to exchange.

In addition to the bottle of Phoenix Blood Nirvana Pills, Gu Ding also chose a pair of four-star divine artifact gloves worth 1.5 billion at Neptune's suggestion. With the remaining merit points, Gu Ding spent another sixty billion to buy one and a half million Vitality Pills refined from Bug Tribe corpses. Vitality Pills were not considered elixirs. Any pharmacologist with sufficient cultivation could refine them. They were made by extracting Vitality energy and condensing it into a solid form. Then, they would be treated with an adhesive agent on the surface to prevent the loss of medicinal efficacy. However, this treatment also caused ordinary Vitality Pills to look like elixirs from the cultivation civilization.

After Dockett came out, Gu Ding went in to collect the items he had chosen. When he came out, he handed the token to Robert and asked him to transfer the remaining 6.1 billion merit points to him.

Dockett did not spend much. There were no flying daggers in the list of items, and he was rewarded by the system with a four-star divine artifact armor. Therefore, he only bought ten Heavenly Soul Crystals and a four-star divine artifact that increased the strength of one's soul. He spent less than two billion in total.

After handing the token to Robert, Robert completed the transfer. The tens of thousands of merit points in the token instantly soared to 57 billion. Dockett stepped into the little dark room.

About five or six minutes later, Robert came out of the little dark room and handed the token to Gu Ding. "There's still 12.2 billion left."

"What else do you want?" Gu Ding looked at the others.

"We've bought everything we need." Lilliath and Elsa shook their heads.

"Let's just exchange for a few divine artifacts and auction them off at the auction." Gu Ding grinned. "I should be able to exchange for two five-star divine artifacts, five four-star divine artifacts, and seven three-star divine artifacts."

As Gu Ding was about to walk toward the little dark room, he heard someone call his name from behind.

"Gu Ding, wait!"

Gu Ding turned his head and saw that it was Star from the Freedom Alliance who had called out to him. Star had just stepped into the Merit Hall when he appeared in front of him in a flash.

"What's the matter?" Gu Ding asked in surprise.

"You haven't spent your merit points, have you?" Star asked instead of answering his question.

"I've spent most of them. There's still a little left."

"Do you have 1.5 billion left?" Hearing Gu Ding's words, he looked a little anxious.

"I have more than 10 billion left. What's wrong?" Gu Ding did not know why he would ask such a question.

"Here's the thing. I want to gather five billion merit points to exchange for a five-star god item armor. Can you sell it to me for one and a half billion merit points?" Star was relieved to hear that Gu Ding still had more than ten billion merit points.

"How do you want to buy it?" Gu Ding finally understood why Star had asked such a question.

"I have a four-star divine artifact armor with me. It's a reward from the system. It's worth one billion merit points. I have 500 million merit points left. I can buy it with source stones. 500 million merit points can be directly exchanged for five million source stones. However, I also know that if you use 500 million merit points to exchange for something here and auction it off, it'll definitely be worth more than five million source stones. I can give you eight million source stones. However, I only have five million with me now … I'll have to think of a way to give you the remaining three million after we get out of here … "Star's voice became softer.

"Why do you want a five-star divine artifact armor?" Gu Ding asked with some doubt.

"It's because of my teacher. He's nearing the end of his lifespan, and the final divine punishment of a Higher Deity is coming soon. In his current weakened state, even a four-star divine artifact might not be able to protect him from the divine punishment. If it's a five-star divine artifact, the chances of him surviving the divine punishment will greatly increase. As long as he survives the divine punishment, he'll be promoted to a Supreme Deity and his lifespan will increase again, "Star explained.

"Alright, I'll buy it for you. Let's calculate the 500 million merit points as five million source stones. You don't have to write an IOU then." Gu Ding said as he walked into the little dark room. After a few minutes, he came out and handed an armor to Star.

Star immediately handed the token and source stones to Gu Ding, and the interlude was over.

In fact, this deal was a loss no matter how one looked at it. Basically, Liliath and the others had an armor each, and Gu Ding did not need an additional four-star divine artifact armor. On the other hand, 500 million merit points for five million source stones was not worth it. However, Gu Ding chose to make a deal because he thought that the Sidar was a good person. Even though he was a genius powerhouse, he was not arrogant at all and was very filial. In Gu Ding's opinion, such a person was worth befriending.

Early the next morning, the entrance to the ruins opened after all his Merit Points were used up. Gu Ding and the others did not linger and chose to leave immediately.
