Yuanshi Tianzun sensed Jiang Ziya's thoughts; in truth, the reason he had kept Jiang Ziya around was to sever his desire for Immortal Ascension.
Stop overthinking it and go seal the gods, enjoy a lifetime of wealth and prosperity.
Under the immense pressure from his peers and family, Jiang Ziya finally relented. He knelt before his wife and children and declared, "Master, Ziya has dull aptitude and no connection to the Immortal Dao. I am willing to descend the mountain to assist an enlightened ruler and enjoy a mortal lifetime of wealth."
The "enlightened ruler" Jiang Ziya referred to unequivocally meant Yin Shou. The two were both teacher and friend. Now that Immortal Ascension was hopeless, he decided to focus on governing the kingdom to make Yin Shou's reign flourish and fulfill his lofty dreams.
