Lin Ze did not have any feelings for Great Shang. He wanted to stay out of it, but the Cultivation Tribulation was coming, so it was better not to get involved.
Now, Lin Ze only had one thought in his mind. He wanted to seek the Great Dao and walk his own path. He did not care about anything else.
Although he did not obtain the cultivation method, Emperor Xin and the Empress still visited him frequently in the following year.
They either learned etiquette or prayed for the people.
Lin Ze was already used to the two of them. In addition, they would give him a book collection every time they came, so it was not like he had gained nothing.
On this day, Lin Ze left the mother and son in the main hall to recite the prayers while he went to the side hall.
" Check in confirmed."
With no one around, Lin Ze began to work.
"Congratulations on signing in successfully. You are rewarded with a Connate Green Fruit.”
The system's cold notification sounded as usual. With a flash of white light, a fruit that was as transparent as jade appeared in his hand.
The Innate Green Fruit was about the size of a baby's fist. It contained Innate Green Qi and had the power to purify Spiritual Qi.
In the primordial era, Pangu created the world. Clear and turbid were clearly distinguished. The clear qi rose up and formed the sky, while the turbid qi surged down and formed the earth.
The Connate Green Fruit was a fruit that was born in the " sky " and was extremely rare.
Lin Ze held the fruit with a satisfied expression.
Even in his eyes as a saint, the Connate Green Fruit was an extremely precious treasure to Heaven Immortals. He might not even find one even if he searched the entire world.
Absorbing the Innate Green Qi within would bring many benefits.
He circulated his celestial spiritual energy and summoned the Immeasurable Divine Fire, which wrapped around the Connate Green Fruit and refined it into a wisp of Connate Green Qi before absorbing it into his body.
Lin Ze felt the increase in immortal power and nodded slightly. The Connate Green Fruit lived up to its reputation.
However, at this moment, he suddenly sensed something and looked in the direction of Zhaoge Imperial Palace.
"This feeling, could it be…"
"Sir, my father is unwell. We will leave first.。”
At this moment, Di Xin and his mother hurried over and spoke in a hurried tone.
Lin Ze watched the two of them leave in a hurry and knew that day had finally come.
Not long after, news came from the imperial palace that the King of Shang, Diyi, was dying.
For a moment, everyone was panicking. No one had expected that the Shang King, who was still in his prime, would suddenly send such bad news.
At this moment, Diyi, who was involved, was very calm.
He calmly arranged some matters for his funeral. Seeing the redness in Di Xin's eyes, he knew that he was reluctant to part with him, just like how he had sent off the late emperor.
Life and death separation is a common occurrence, but before that, let me do one last bit of effort for Emperor Xin and Great Shang.
He sent someone to invite Lin Ze to Emperor Wa's temple." All of you can leave for now. I have something to discuss with the temple attendant.”
The few loyal ministers guarding the palace could not help but look at each other, wondering if the Shang King had a secret edict to hand over to this temple attendant of Emperor Wa's temple with a special status before his soul returned.
Only Grand Preceptor Wen had a thoughtful look on his face, but he didn't say anything. He took a deep look at Diyi, who was lying on the bed.
Before he left, he carefully checked the surroundings to make sure that no one dared to eavesdrop on confidential matters before he left with the ministers.
When Di Xin and the weeping empress heard that Lin Ze was coming, they did not know why, but they obeyed the king's orders and could only leave.
When Lin Ze arrived at Di Yi's bedroom, there were only the two of them.
Diyi forced his weak body to stand up from the dragon bed and said bluntly,
"Mister should already be an immortal.”
Ever since the incident at the Peach Blossom Forest, he had been suspecting who had the ability to do all this. Then, Wen Zhong's experience gave him a certain deduction.
After that, he noticed the change in Di Xin. He knew that even though Lin Ze had not imparted the Dao, Di Xin had benefited a lot from the immortal energy.
If his guess was correct, Lin Ze was probably the only immortal in the human world.
Lin Ze was silent. He knew why Diyi had invited him over.
The Human Emperor of a generation had a sharp mind that no ordinary person could match.
However, he had no feelings for Great Shang. The jade pendant that Di Yi had given him contained a wisp of Great Shang's fate that helped him rise to power. However, this was just icing on the cake for his cultivation.
After a few years in Great Shang, a wisp of luck had already returned to Great Shang.
Now that he had been summoned to see Diyi, it was only because of their past relationship.
Seeing that Lin Ze was silent, Diyi smiled bitterly and muttered to himself,
" Great Shang will welcome a new ruler tomorrow and find someone to guide him in the future so that he doesn't go astray. I think the temple attendant of Emperor Wa Temple is proficient in ancient and modern books and knows astronomy and geography. He will definitely be qualified to be the national advisor. At that time, he will be under one person and above tens of thousands of people. No one will dare to disrespect him.”
How could Lin Ze not know what Diyi was talking about? However, he had already made up his mind and would not change it easily.
"Your Majesty, I'm just a commoner. I don't have a good reputation or an official position, so I'm afraid I can't do it. However, Grand Preceptor Wen Zhongwen is highly respected and is the most suitable.”
He rejected Diyi's request again. He did not covet the position of the state preceptor.
If he agreed, even if he threw himself into the whirlpool of Great Shang, he would not be able to do anything when the tribulation came.
At that time, it would probably be difficult for him to stay out of it.
In order to gain a glimpse of the truth of the Great Dao and walk his own path, Lin Ze could only do this.
