To be honest, I'm still a beginner here. and I want to ask if our ranking will not go up if we don't have merit?

please explain, and thank you

Unfortunately without merit you can't rank up and this only happened as a way to fight forum spam and low quality posts that went rampant few years back , but don't sweat it, the merit system is easy to understand using the analogy of how humans need food to grow and that food is in the form of merit here & without it you won't grow...

The Merit system improved the forum to a large level according to old timers here

It was a means to help fight spamming and bounty hunting machines who post all for the sake of earnings.

All that really matters now is how well you cintrubute to the forum and make your post educative fir others to learn. You need merit and activity to get higher and higher. But becoming a better poster and improvement in on self is all that mean now
