"Before I descended to the mortal realm, I once plucked a few peaches of immortality from the peach garden.”
"Although I don't have the 9,000-year-old Immortal Peaches that can help me become a Heaven Immortal, I do have some 6,000-year-old Immortal Peaches that can help me become an Earth Immortal.”
When Lu Ge went to the Jade Lake Holy Land, he had already prepared for the worst.
Since he was going to be demoted to the lower realm anyway, he might as well pick a few peaches and accompany him in the human world.
Anyway, Sun Wukong was the one who took the blame. He ate the peaches, so it had nothing to do with Lu Ge.
Ying Zheng swallowed his saliva, stood up again, and bowed solemnly,""I hope that Immortal Elder will be merciful and grant me the path to immortality.”
" I admire Your Majesty's achievements," Lu Ge muttered." It's just a peach. I don't mind giving it to Your Majesty."”
"However, the celestial heavens have their own rules. Human emperors cannot live forever.”
"If Your Majesty obtained immortality, would you be willing to give up the throne and fake your death to escape?”
"Abandon the throne?"
Ying Zheng was slightly taken aback, feeling extremely conflicted in his heart.
He was the lord of the human world, high and mighty. Wasn't the reason why he was seeking longevity so that he could enjoy the throne for a long time?
If he gave up the throne and lived in seclusion, although he could live forever, he would still have regrets.
Seeing Ying Zheng's conflicted expression, Lu Ge did not urge him.
"Your Majesty, please consider it carefully. I won't be leaving for a while. When Your Majesty has made a decision, just let me know.”
Ying Zheng gave a bitter smile and said," It's not that I'm greedy for power and position. It's just that the Great Qin Empire has just unified the world. If I fake my death and give up the throne, there will be no one to suppress the world. I'm afraid that the world will rebel again, and war will happen again."”
" I understand," Lu Ge nodded." However, I can't do anything about it."”
"The position of the Human Emperor is supreme."
"The rules of the heavens are like this for the sake of the human world.”
"After all, no matter how wise a ruler is, after he obtains immortality, he will probably not live up to his original intentions after reigning for a hundred years, a thousand years, or even ten thousand years.”
"Let's not talk about whether or not he has a greedy and tyrannical heart. Even if he doesn't, I'm afraid he won't have any intention of improving.”
"A human emperor who can live forever but doesn't have the heart to think for the people of the world is a curse and not a blessing to the world.”
Realization appeared in Ying Ge's eyes.
People were not perfect. Even though it had only been a hundred years, and many monarchs had worked hard to govern the country, they had begun to covet enjoyment after being in power for several years or even decades.
As the emperor of the mortal world, Ying Zheng could naturally deduce that an emperor who had been in power for millions of years, but did not have the heart to improve, instead, he had grown greedy and tyrannical. The harm that that would bring to the mortal world was simply unimaginable.
People's hearts were ever-changing, and an initial heart could not last for many years.
"Immortal, please allow me to think about it. If there is an answer, no matter what, I will inform you.”
Ying Zheng thought for a long time, then said slowly.
Lu Ge nodded slightly.
The carriage moved forward slowly. Ying Zheng was originally prepared to patrol other places.
But now that the immortal was by his side, he had no mood to patrol. The carriage headed straight for Xianyang.
Although he couldn't teach Skyimmortals immortality techniques, he could teach them some Ki Refining and health cultivation techniques.
However, these Dharmic formulations did not grant one immortality. At most, one's body would be slightly better and one could live for a few more years.
No matter how hard one cultivated, they would probably only live to a hundred years old.
Ying Zheng did not reject anyone, and he was enjoying his cultivation. It was always good to be healthy.
After walking for a long time, he finally saw the outline of Xianyang.
The ancient city stood in front of them.
The morning mist rose, and the outline of Xianyang could be vaguely seen.
The carriage slowly drove into Xianyang City. Ying Zheng lifted the curtain and asked with a smile,""Immortal elder, what do you think of my Xianyang?”
Lu Ge took a few glances and nodded.""The city is the most prosperous in the world.”
Along the way, the world was in a state of chaos. Although the cities in various places had begun to develop, they were not as prosperous as Xianyang.
However, this was normal. After all, the war had just ended, and Xianyang was the capital of Great Qin. It was only natural that it was more prosperous than other places.
Ying Zheng was pleased with himself after receiving Lu Ge's affirmation.
Soon, the carriage entered Xianyang Palace, where Ying Zheng gathered his ministers and held a court meeting.
Ying Zheng pulled Lu Ge into the palace and said with a smile,""Immortal Elder should be by my side."
Lu Ge shook his head." Although Your Majesty is a mortal, you are still a Renhuang."”
"In terms of status, Your Majesty should be on par with the Celestial Thearch. How can I sit beside Your Majesty?”
Ying Zheng was stunned when he heard that. Why was he so powerful? To be on equal footing with the Heavenly Emperor.
However, Ying Zheng did not take it seriously. Status was related to strength. Although he was said to be on the same level as the Heavenly Emperor, he did not have any strength. Which immortal would take a mortal emperor like him seriously?
However, Lu Ge kept refusing, so Ying Zheng had no choice but to set up another throne below the Emperor's Throne and above the officials.
As the officials entered the palace, they all looked at Lu Ge, who was only half a seat away from the Emperor's Throne.
Who was this? He could actually sit here.
However, since Ying Zheng did not say anything, they did not dare to ask.
When all the officials had arrived, the palace doors were closed and the court session began.
Ying Zheng glanced at the ministers and said slowly.
"This time, when I was touring the world, the remnants of the six dynasties attempted to assassinate me with Hercules.”
"However, I have the blessings of the heavens. I was able to meet an immortal and was saved by the immortal.”
Ying Zheng stretched out his hand slightly, then looked at Lu Ge.
