Seeing that Zheng Lei had agreed, Diyi's heart that had been holding up all this while was completely put down.
He turned around and said to the chamberlain beside the bed,"Pass on my decree! Zheng Lei, the national teacher, was granted the title of tutor. He was given the power to supervise the king and beat up the fatuous king and treacherous officials.”
Just as he was issuing the decree, another old general wearing golden armor walked into Diyi's bedroom. He had three eyes in total, just like the famous Erlang God Yang Jian. He had one eye in the middle of his brows and was about the same age as Diyi. He held a pair of whips in his hands.
"You're here!"
Seeing the person who had come, Diyi relaxed slightly and a smile appeared on his face.
Zheng Lei recognized him at a glance. He should be the current Prime Minister of the Shang Dynasty, Wen Zhong. Wen Zhong was the son of Wen Ren, an official of the Shang Dynasty.
He grew up with Di Yi and went to Green Touring Palace when he was young. He became the disciple of the Golden Spirit Holy Mother under the Heavenly Dao Saint Tongtian. After 50 years of learning, she gave him a pair of male and female whips and returned to Great Shang to assist Di Yi.
He was the future Grand Preceptor of the dynasty. He fought for Great Shang, defeating treacherous officials and incompetent rulers. In the end, he died in the Heavenly Divine Fire Pillar refined by the Golden Immortal Yun Zhongzi of the Clan of Enlightenment. He was a loyal and upright old general.
"Great King!"
Wen Zhong said anxiously when he saw Diyi lying on the bed. Although his face was flushed red, it was obvious that he was already in his final moments.
"There's no other way! I just took the Imperial Preceptor's immortal pill. If not for this, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have the chance to speak.”
Perhaps he knew that his days were numbered, but Di Yi was able to face death calmly.
Then, Di Yi said,"Since you're here, I'll tell you what I need to tell you!"”
"Pass on my decree. Wen Zhong will be granted the title of Grand Master of the Business World and given the whip of the state. He will have the authority to supervise the people and the court.”
After the chamberlain delivered the weapons that Di Yi had given to Zheng Lei and Wen Zhong, Di Yi said to Zheng Lei and Wen Zhong,""Sir! Wen Zhong! Great Shang is in your hands."
Following that, Emperor Yi issued another decree." Pass on my decree. I will confer the title of Prime Minister to my younger brother, Bigan. I hope that Bigan can assist the young king and prosper Great Shang.”
Bi Gan, who had been waiting at the side, immediately knelt down and thanked Di Yi. Di Yi looked at Bi Gan, Wei Zi, Ji Zi, and his three younger brothers and said,""My three brothers, I hope you can help your nephew in peace.”
"Brother Wang, don't worry. We will do our best to assist Nephew Wang.”
Bi Gan, Wei Zi, and Ji Zi agreed at the same time.
After Di Yi finished giving instructions, Zheng Lei walked out of the Thearch Palace. On the way back to the residence, Zheng Lei said thoughtfully,""Diyi will die! Then the God-Sealing War should not be far away, right?”
…………
At the same time, in the Purple Cloud Palace of the Land of Chaos in the 33rd Heaven.
The six Sages received the news from Hongjun's Dao child. Then, all the Sages, including the Three Pure Ones, the Sage, Jieyin, and Bodhi, turned into flowing lights and arrived at the Purple Cloud Palace in the blink of an eye.
The six Saints entered the Purple Cloud Palace. Hongjun, who looked ordinary, was sitting calmly on the futon in the center of the Purple Cloud Palace.
Among the six Heavenly Path Sages, Laozi, who was the first to become a Sage and had the most seniority, said,""Teacher! Why have you gathered us here today?"
Hongjun took out two Dharma treasures and said," The time has come. The Infinite Calamity has arrived. These are the God List and the God Striking Whip. Many immortals will die this time. You should be prepared!"”
"May I ask Teacher?" asked Sect Master Tongtian. Who is the target of this tribulation?"
"As long as you become an immortal, immortals who haven't become a saint are all among the targets of the tribulation. Those with shallow luck will directly turn to ashes."”
"Those who have some luck can enter the Investiture of the Gods, enjoy the offerings of mortals, cultivate the Divine Dao, and be restricted by the Investiture of the Gods.”
"A small number of people with great fortune can sanctify their bodies and cultivate the divine path or the immortal path.”
Laozi took the Investiture of the Gods and the God-beating Whip and asked,""Then teacher, are there no exceptions for those who enter the tribulation?”
Hongjun said," This time, the Immeasurable Calamity is the Great Calamity of the East. Other than the West, no one else can avoid it. As for who will be going through the tribulation, you can discuss it yourself."”
Hearing that the Immeasurable Calamity had nothing to do with the West, Subhuti and Jieyin immediately laughed."Since this calamity is the East's own business, we won't overstep it.”
With that, the two brothers left happily.
Not to mention the few Eastern Saints who argued in the Purple Cloud Palace for whose disciples were on the rankings.
In the mortal world, in the wilderness.
After another two to three days, Diyi passed away.
After attending Di Yi's funeral, he assisted Di Xing in ascending the throne.
After a series of complicated enthronement and worship ceremonies, Zheng Lei and Wen Zhong, the two Grand Tutor and Grand Tutor who had the power to supervise the monarch, stood in front of the officials in the Imperial Palace.
"Your Majesty! I have just received news that the Dongyi tribe, which had submitted to us before, has rebelled again. I suggest that we send troops to attack the Dongyi tribe again.”
Wen Zhong, who was dressed in court clothes, reported to Di Xing, no, King Zhou, who was sitting on the dragon throne and wearing a crown.
"Teacher! What do you think?"
However, Di Xing turned his gaze to Zheng Lei.
"It doesn't matter if we fight or not." Zheng Lei was thinking about something and was somewhat absent-minded.
After knowing that the God Deification War was about to begin, Zheng Lei was no longer in the mood to care about the battles between mortals.
One had to know that in the God Sealing War, Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals had fallen and Saints had taken action.
Not long ago, he had finally broken through to the Mystic Immortal realm. Although he could be considered a small expert among immortals, he could not be compared to Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals and Saints at all.
He had already decided to protect the Shang Dynasty, but the problem was that the Shang Dynasty had been defeated and destroyed.
If he wanted to change the ending of the Shang Dynasty, he would have to face the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Clan of Enlightenment, Dipamkara Sect Master, who was at the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal level, and even a large group of Sages such as Nu Wo, Jieyin, Zhunti, Primordial, and Laozi.
The only one who could be considered an ally of him was probably Sect Master Tongtian. This was a very tragic Saint who had been surrounded and beaten by all the Saints. Most of his disciples had died.
King Zhou saw that Zheng Lei was a little absent-minded, but he was not angry. He asked,"Teacher, is there something on your mind?"
Zheng Lei stood out from the group of ministers and cupped his hands in reply,""Your Majesty. I think Dongyi can fight, but only a small one, not a big one. After all, a long war will hurt the people.”
Diyi listened to Zheng Lei's words and immediately said,""Let's do as Imperial Preceptor and Grand Tutor say!”
Although Wen Zhong was not very satisfied with this result, Zheng Lei's words did make sense, so he could only nod and agree.
Zheng Lei did not return to the officials after he finished his suggestion. Instead, he continued,"Great King! I discovered that although our Great Shang's fate is prosperous, we don't have a divine artifact to suppress it. If this continues, we will definitely lose it.”
"It just so happens that I have a divine weapon, the God-Slaying Saber, in my hand. It has the effect of suppressing providence. Your Majesty, please return to the ancestral temple to worship! This blade will definitely protect our Great Shang.”
