Of course, a proxy Merit Officer cannot possess all the rights of a true Merit Officer. Granting them fifty percent of authority was already a consideration of their need to oversee the greater situation, so this fifty percent of the power was sufficient.
As Li Ming had hoped, the strength of the Five Mountains Sect Leader Qin Shan, who was already at the Divine Power Realm, immediately soared after receiving his divine office, reaching the early stages of six successive evolutions, truly powerful!
However, although Qin Shan had also reached the level of six successive evolutions, he still paled in comparison to Li Ming. This was because Li Ming’s Book of Life and Death already allowed him to effortlessly suppress the other’s power, returning it to its most primitive state.
Therefore, to others, the Five Mountains Sect Leader Qin Shan, after receiving his divine office, seemed like a terrifying powerhouse at the beginning of his six evolutions. But to Li Ming—
The other was merely equivalent to a cultivator who had undergone five evolutions, easily subdued with a flick of the wrist.
The power of the Six Judicial Officers contained even grander information, and after Qin Shan received his authority, even though he assimilated some of its power, he still had to sit down and digest this vast trove of information.
Li Ming, content with this reaction and with a trace of a smile on his face, had long anticipated the surge in power that came with the blessings of their appointed offices.
The reason he had not experienced this was because he had only refined the Book of Life and Death, without integrating corresponding authorities, like the Judge’s or the Ten Kings of Hell’s power, into his body.
Otherwise, once integrated, his strength might increase instantaneously, possibly reaching the seventh evolution.
However, by doing so, it would become much more difficult for him to elevate the level of his authority in the future.
