To have Shiji’s name inscribed on the God-Conferring Board was a promise Shen Gongbao had made to her; he was not a man to go back on his word. However, as for taking charge of the God-Conferring Board and performing the investiture on behalf of Heaven—that was out of the question. Shen Gongbao had no desire to fight Jiang Ziya for a task that was as grueling as it was thankless.
Without hesitation, he chose the optional mission: Prologue to the Investiture.
"Fellow Daoist Wen Zhong, to utilize the God-Conferring Board, one must borrow the national fortune of a dynasty. Therefore, I need your help to secure an official position for me within the Shang Dynasty as soon as possible. Would that be possible?"
