I wield power with my innate talents, and forge the Heavenly Court.

Seeing the Emperor Chongzhen's envious expression and longing for the Celestial Empire, Zhu Cilang couldn't help but add fuel to the fire, laughing as he said:

"Hehe, for this world, the Celestial Empire is, in a sense, the Immortal Realm."

The place is filled with dense, mist-like energy of heaven and earth. All the citizens of the Celestial Empire are cultivators. Ordinary people have a lifespan of one or two hundred years, while those with supernatural powers can reach three hundred years.

The Longevity Realm can last for five hundred years, while the Celestial Realm lasts for one thousand years.

"The Undying Realm is true immortality."

Listening to Zhu Cilang's story, Chongzhen was filled with longing.

If I could live in such a world, even as an ordinary person, that would be good, wouldn't it?

After all, this is immortality, the dream of countless emperors and generals.

For a moment, he felt that the throne of the Ming Dynasty was no longer so appealing.

Looking at the scarecrow before him, Chongzhen's expression shifted, a mixture of tension and anticipation.

According to Zhu Cilang, this Puppet Lord is a powerful expert at the Celestial Realm, possessing a lifespan of a thousand years. If he were to advance further, he would reach the truly immortal realm.

This puppet lord is no different from the legendary immortals and gods.

However, he was unaware that the information Zhu Cilang knew was already somewhat outdated.

Lu Jun is now a genuine immortal realm expert, capable of achieving eternal life.

Zhu Cilang walked up to the scarecrow, raised his hand, mobilized the power of the Ming Emperor's envoy in another world, and pressed it down, with the power of Vig surging into it.

"Om~!"

As a bright yellow light flashed, the scarecrow in front of him instantly became eerie, as if it had come to life.

Zhu Cilang took two steps back, bowed slightly, and used his rank and power to empower himself.

"Zhu Cilang, Ambassador to the Ming Emperor in Another World, respectfully requests the presence of Lu Jun, Ambassador to the Prime Minister of the Late Ming Dynasty."

Contacting Lu Jun and asking for help using the identity of a Descendant will make you appear closer and foster a stronger sense of camaraderie.

If he were to claim the title of Crown Prince, it would inevitably incur the displeasure of Lu Jun. Even if Lu Jun were to cooperate due to the dynasty's orders, he would certainly treat him coldly, or even vie for control.

After all, he was also the world's prime minister and ambassador during the late Ming Dynasty.

If he were to also cultivate power and occupy the countries surrounding the Ming Dynasty, it would be permissible given his position and authority.

So, does that mean the area outside the Great Wall was outside the Ming Dynasty? And what about Sichuan, which was occupied by Zhang Xianzhong? Was it outside the Ming Dynasty?
Even in Shaanxi, which had just been recaptured, he could still use Li Zicheng's banner to occupy it.

Of course, due to his special circumstances, it was certainly not as convenient as Zhu Cilang's.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been Zhu Cilang who descended upon this world, but rather the Crown Prince of the Celestial Dynasty or some other prince.

Fortunately, Zhu Cilang became the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty immediately after arriving in this world. He also plundered the homes of powerful families in the capital, built a strong army, and swept through Li Zicheng in Shaanxi.

However, he did not become arrogant because of this, and when he visited Lu Jun, he even acted as a subordinate.

Meanwhile, Emperor Chongzhen, standing to the side, couldn't help but twitch his lips as he listened to Zhu Cilang's words.

That emperor of the Celestial Empire was truly capricious.

Although previously, the Ming Dynasty was indeed riddled with problems and on the verge of collapse.

But you don't have to be so blunt, do you?

This world was named the Late Ming Dynasty World.

Moreover, didn't you send Zhu Cilang here to help the Ming Dynasty rebuild its territory?

Is it a bit inappropriate for you to call yourself a prime minister and ambassador from the late Ming Dynasty?
However, even though he harbored some dissatisfaction, Emperor Chongzhen now only dared to complain in his heart.

After witnessing the power of the nation's destiny and the might of the army, he completely lost the will to resist.

They have grown increasingly awe-inspiring towards the Celestial Empire and its dynasties.

On the other side, as Zhu Cilang used his own power to make the request, the scarecrow in front of him immediately began to tremble slightly.

Immediately afterwards, a mysterious power suddenly spread out, resonating with the puppet rules of heaven and earth.

Zhu Cilang's voice and wishes instantly crossed mountains and rivers, reaching Lu Jun's ears.

Hearing the sudden voice, Lu Jun couldn't help but smile. This "little" friend had finally come looking for him.

With a thought in his mind, a wisp of Lu Jun's divine sense, following the inexplicable connection and through the puppet's rules, instantly crossed space and descended.

Chongzhen saw the scarecrow in front of him suddenly tremble as Zhu Cilang offered his prayers, and then it swayed and stood up.

The power of the rules was drawn down by Lu Jun, and a hazy glow surrounded the scarecrow, causing its image to change rapidly.

The previously stiff body suddenly began to twist. First, it twisted its head, then its outstretched arms twisted and fell, passing through the wooden planks beneath its body and splitting in two below. Gradually, the arms were stained with human skin, eventually transforming into human skin.
In just a few breaths, the ordinary scarecrow transformed into an old man with snow-white hair and a ruddy complexion.

Looking at the venerable old man before him, Chongzhen felt somewhat disappointed.

In his mind, if someone could achieve immortality, they must be extremely young.

However, the puppet lord Lu Jun in front of him had the appearance of an old man, how could he not be disappointed?
Does that mean that even if someone lives forever, they will still grow old?

However, he did not show it, but simply watched Zhu Cilang negotiate with him with a warm smile on his face.

"Ambassador Zhu Cilang to the Ming Emperor in another world has met with the Prime Minister."

"Of course, of course. His Majesty has instructed me to arrange for the arrival of your agents to cooperate with you in all matters concerning the Ming Dynasty."

"Then thank you very much, Lord Marquis."

After a brief conversation, Lu Jun turned to look at Chongzhen.

"This must be His Majesty Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youjian, right?"

"You're too kind, Elder Lu. I am indeed Zhu Youjian!"

When questioned by Lu Jun, Chongzhen adopted an extremely humble posture.

During this period, the military formations, the fate of the nation, the status of the heavens and earth, and the various supernatural powers displayed by Zhu Cilang all greatly shocked him, making him realize the vastness of heaven and earth.

Furthermore, he also knew that Zhu Cilang was only at the supernatural power level.

Above that, there are realms such as longevity, celestial beings, and immortality.

The person before them was at the peak of the Celestial Realm, capable of reaching immortality at any moment.

In any dynasty or country throughout history, emperors would treat him as an honored guest, even considering him a deity.

Moreover, this is the Ming Dynasty, which is now on the verge of its demise and needs Lu Jun's help.

Seeing that Chongzhen showed no arrogance of an emperor, Lu Jun's smile widened.

Because Emperor Chongzhen adopted a humble attitude, the subsequent exchanges between the two sides went very smoothly, and it can be said that both the host and guests enjoyed themselves.

Lu Jun readily agreed to Zhu Cilang's request to help him supervise the officials of the Ming Dynasty.

Helping Zhu Cilang to quickly suppress the turmoil in the Ming Dynasty and restore stability to the people's livelihood was a significant achievement for them, and it would be a bonus for their later ennoblement.

At the very end, Zhu Cilang hesitated and asked Lu Jun a question.

"My lord, I wonder if you still have any contact with the Celestial Empire?"

"Hmm? Is there something you need?"

Lu Jun looked at Zhu Cilang with surprise.

"Yes, I had already agreed with Master Sun and Master Lu that once I had settled down here, I would request His Majesty to allow them to descend here as well."

"Oh, that's how it is."

Lu Jun smiled and nodded.

Are you afraid that the Emperor will not agree?
"Don't worry, His Majesty is very benevolent. He will surely grant this small request."

"Well
No, it's that I can't contact the real person and have no way to contact the Celestial Empire world.

That's why I thought of asking the Marquis to help inform him."

"Oh, so that's it!"

Lu Jun sized up Zhu Cilang, a look of understanding on his face, and readily agreed.

"Haha, it's no big deal, I'll inform them for you."
I imagine His Majesty will agree." (End of Chapter)
