Even if two rank 4 merchants have the exact same level of power, they won't have the same value of life if one of them is a prince while the other is just an ordinary merchant.
The connections that a merchant possesses also affect the value of their life. All of these things make it difficult to determine the full extent of the value of someone's life. But there is a way to determine the lowest estimate of someone's value.
The way to determine the lowest estimate of the value of life is to determine how much energy water that godclad has used to increase their spiritual power to the peak of their rank and then add this value to the value of the divine flesh that the godclad has used from rank 1 to their current rank.
In the case of a rank 4 epic godclad with only the pathway of merchants and with a spiritual power of 160 units, they must have used 100 liters of energy at rank 1, 200 liters at rank 2, 400 liters at rank 3, and 800 liters at rank 4.
