Sha Chen said, "It depends on how high."
Jiang Ziya said, "As long as the River Lord names it, this old man will swallow his pride and ask for it on your behalf."
Sha Chen laughed heartily, his eyes flickering, and said, "I want the position of the Tathagata Buddha, and moreover, I won't allow anyone to pull the strings behind me. Can that be done?"
