Chapter 1893
Just moments ago, these people had been lying in ambush in the shadows, firing hundreds of cannons at once, trying to put them to death!
However, this was no longer their home turf.
The crowd parted a path, allowing Zhu Houzhao's group to advance, their eyes fixed on Lin Pingzhi standing on the high ground.
"Zhu Houzhao of the Great Ming greets Sword Saint Lin; I wonder if the Sword Saint would be willing to accept the position of State Preceptor?" Zhu Houzhao cupped his hands, very sincerely, "From now on, the matter of sacrificing to the Dao Ancestor will be entirely handled by the State Preceptor."
Lin Pingzhi nodded slightly: "Very well. However, if you want me to kowtow to you, that can be spared."
Zhu Houzhao laughed: "State Preceptor, what are you saying? From today on, I share the world with the State Preceptor."
Hearing this, the ministers were shocked.
Share the world with the State Preceptor?
What kind of nonsense was this.
Upon reflection, they felt it was a brilliant move.
After all, given the current trend of the world, the dynasty was truly difficult to suppress and was on the verge of collapse.
However, if Lin Pingzhi were the Great Ming State Preceptor, the situation would be different.
This person was an immortal-like existence.
Plus the unfathomable Taixuan Dao Ancestor behind him, who else in the Great Ming world could touch it?
"Good!" Lin Pingzhi was somewhat surprised; this emperor, who didn't have a good reputation in history, was actually so wise, which was truly beyond his expectations.
The Wulin people watched, dumbfounded.
They didn't expect the situation to change in the blink of an eye.
They had originally thought Sword Saint Lin was going to destroy the dynasty, but in the end—the two sides walked together.
In this way, wouldn't the revenge they wanted to take just now be impossible?
Everyone felt depressed, and then they heard Zhu Houzhao ask: "May I ask the State Preceptor, what kind of existence is the Taixuan Ancestor? If I know, I can have the ministers in the court write scriptures for the Ancestor, spread them throughout the world, and let the common people chant scriptures for the Ancestor."
"No need." Lin Pingzhi chuckled, a book appearing in his hand, which he tossed to Zhu Houzhao, "The Ancestor manifests in all the heavens and myriad worlds, so the scriptures are naturally ready-made. Just the other day, the Ancestor, along with Goddess Nüwa and Goddess Houtu, manifested in a world, bringing that world tremendous benefits."
"All commoners in the Central Plains have a lifespan of over a thousand years, all commoners in the Central Plains have a trace of the origin of the Primordial Human Race, and the land of the Central Plains even controls reincarnation and governs the world."

"You all should properly complete the sacrifice to the Ancestor; if you can gain the Ancestor's favor, the Ancestor might just manifest!"
"Of course, even if the Ancestor doesn't manifest, I guarantee you won't lose out. After all, I have also learned a trace of the Ancestor's methods, which is enough to protect the world."
Everyone stood there, stunned.
A thousand-year lifespan!
You must know, the lifespan of the ancients was not long.
Not to mention the nonsense of average lifespan.
After all, there were many wars in ancient times, so the average lifespan was not accurate.
However, there was a saying that could be referenced—seventy years of age has been rare since ancient times.
Unlike now, where seventy-year-old old men and women are still lively and everywhere.
In ancient times, a seventy-year-old was already a very long-lived existence.
A thousand-year lifespan was equivalent to increasing one's lifespan by more than ten times; how could this not make people excited?
As for the rest, everyone was confused.
However, since it could be brought up by Sword Saint Lin, it must also be something quite extraordinary.
At this moment, not only were Zhu Houzhao and the ministers listening with boiling blood, but even the Wulin people were rubbing their hands, wanting to participate in this matter.
In the face of immortality, what was a mere vendetta?
Everyone unanimously put it aside and looked at Zhu Houzhao.
"Dog... Your Majesty, we also want to participate in this matter, please grant us your permission!"
Someone shouted and stood out.
It was just that because they were Wulin ruffians, they were used to calling him the dog emperor and almost didn't hold it back.
Zhu Houzhao's mouth twitched, feeling depressed, and he nodded slightly: "You warriors are strong and sturdy; if you can participate, this matter will surely go more smoothly, and I naturally have no reason to obstruct it. If this matter succeeds, I will surely request credit for you all from the Dao Ancestor in the sacrificial text."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Everyone was overjoyed, and this time they called him Your Majesty with genuine sincerity.
They stood out not because they had nowhere to use their strength, but because they wanted to be close to the Dao Ancestor and wanted tangible benefits.
They didn't expect the emperor before them to be so sensible, seeing the key to the matter immediately and giving a promise without any bureaucratic slippery evasion.
