"No, that's not it. As the guiding immortals of the Heavenly Court's Merit Examination Department, my husband and I are only responsible for delivering the Heavenly Court's appointments. Whether the people we guide fulfill their duties or not is none of our business." Fan Xian smiled and flew up, using his immortal travel ability to levitate his body in mid-air.
"Those who are guided have a deadline for fulfilling their duties. If they fail to do so by then, the Merit Examination Department will select another suitable immortal to submit to the higher authorities for approval. Whether or not to fulfill their duties is entirely up to the guided individual. We cannot force them, so how can we be held responsible?"
"My lord, please come up! With this queue, who knows when we'll be able to enter the city? Our interdimensional passage is still inside the Sun-Shooting Divine Tower." The fairy also flew up and urged Wang Yao to fly up as well.
"But why do I feel like you guys are quite enthusiastic? I originally didn't plan to take up my post, but you two persuaded me." Wang Yao said with a smile as he slowly floated into the air using "Immortal Travel".
“We don’t want you, sir, to miss this opportunity. As your guide, when faced with such a valuable opportunity for the person being guided, we should explain the pros and cons so that he clearly understands what he is giving up, especially for a leader like you who is about to assume a ministerial-level responsibility.”
The fairy explained with a smile.
"Let's consider this a good deed. From now on, my wife and I will be your subordinates. If an opportunity arises, we hope you will take care of us out of consideration for our past relationship," Fan Xian added, cupping his hands in a gesture of respect to Wang Yao before rising again.
Wang Yao and Fan Xian's wife also ascended into the sky. Just as they were about to surpass the walls of the Sun-Shooting Divine City, Fan Xian said to Wang Yao, "Wait a moment," and then flew towards the Sun-Shooting Divine City like a shooting star.
He didn't fly very far; he stopped as soon as he reached the outer edge of the city wall.
"Lord Sun-Shooting God, I am Fan Li, the Minister of Merit Examination of the Heavenly Court. I have come to the Divine Realm to escort Lord Yue Lao, Wang Yao, to the Heavenly Court to serve as the Director of the Women's Federation of the Six Realms (equivalent to a ministerial-level official). Please remove the restrictions on the Divine City and allow us to descend there!" Fan Xian shouted from the air.
"Thanks to Lord Yue Lao, according to the requirements of the Heavenly Court, we should abide by the rules of this world and line up obediently to enter the city when we come down to do business. However, since you will be taking on a leadership position in the Heavenly Court, it is not too much to ask the gods to break the rules and treat you with courtesy. It will also show your majesty."
The fairy beside him whispered to Wang Yao.
"What the hell do I have to show of authority? If you do this, the Sun-Shooting God will ignore you, and we'll all lose face." Wang Yao shook his head and smiled bitterly upon hearing this.
He suffered a lot at the hands of the divine race's scouts when he participated in the Trial of Gods and Demons. Now that he has been able to pass the Trial of Gods and Demons and advance to the Mahayana stage, the divine race actually deserves a lot of credit. Although he used some tricks in the process, the various god lords did indeed give him a wide berth and provided him with extreme convenience.
Even though he is now at the same Mahayana level as the Sun-Shooting God, whether from the perspective of the care the gods had shown him in the past or from the perspective of seniority based on realm, it should not be the Sun-Shooting God who gives him face, but rather he should be the one to take the initiative to thank the Sun-Shooting God.
Looking at the fairy beside him who was smiling without saying a word, Wang Yao was feeling uneasy. Suddenly, he heard a series of loud explosions from within the Sun-Shooting Divine City. Then, huge clusters of colorful fireworks bloomed in all directions above the city, their dazzling light lasting for almost half an hour.
The gods on the ground also erupted in chaos, scattering in all directions as if a pot had been boiled over. They all looked up at the sky, and even the vendors forgot about their business, pointing and gesturing at the sky as if they were both admiring the fireworks and discussing Wang Yao and his two companions.
As soon as the fireworks faded, the sounds of traditional Chinese string and wind instruments began to play. The God of Shooting the Sun led a band of divine soldiers and generals out of the Sun-Shooting Tower, accompanied by music and drums.
Two rows of beautifully dressed goddesses followed them on either side. As soon as they emerged from the Sun-Shooting Tower, these goddesses immediately began singing and dancing, following the Sun-Shooting God Lord to greet Wang Yao and his two companions.
"What the hell is going on?" Wang Yao hadn't expected to see such a scene and was quite bewildered.
At this moment, a five-colored ribbon flew out from the Sun-Shooting Divine Tower. One end of the ribbon was connected to the Sun-Shooting Divine Tower, and the other end quickly crossed the void, like a rainbow bridge, across the city wall of the Sun-Shooting Divine City, and landed steadily in front of Wang Yao's feet.
"The sage is born in the six realms, and the six realms rejoice; the sage comes from beyond the heavens, and the heavens are adorned with colorful banners; the sage descends upon the divine realm, and the divine realm is filled with gratitude; the sage visits the divine city, and the divine city is bathed in his blessings..."
The Sun-Shooting God and his entourage of divine soldiers, generals, and goddesses approached Wang Yao on colorful ribbons. The melodious singing gradually drew nearer, when suddenly a wolf-like scream was mixed into the singing.
"Father... Father... You... I've missed you so much!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yao was startled and quickly looked over. He saw that the person next to the Sun-Shooting God was none other than his adopted son, Lü Bu. Lü Bu stepped out from the crowd, tears welling in his eyes, and called out to Wang Yao repeatedly as he ran towards him on a five-colored rainbow.
"Damn it, what I feared most has come to pass!" Wang Yao's heart tightened, and he had no choice but to bite the bullet and step onto the rainbow to meet it.
"Father, I've missed you so much!" Lu Bu rushed over and knelt down at Wang Yao's feet with a thud.
"Hahaha, congratulations, Lord Yue Lao! Congratulations, Lord Yue Lao! Your promotion to Director of the Women's Federation of the Six Realms is an honor for our divine realm!" Wang Yao was about to bend down to help Lü Bu up when, unexpectedly, the Sun-Shooting God also walked over with a loud laugh.
"God... God Lord, what... what are you doing? This humble immortal cannot bear this!" Wang Yao had no choice but to let Lu Bu hug his leg, and awkwardly smiled as he clasped his hands in a fist and bow to the God Lord of the Sun.
"Why are we being so polite, brothers? When I first met Lord Yue, I could tell you were an extraordinary being with a destiny of great fortune. It seems I was right after all. Lord Yue not only single-handedly separated the realms of gods and demons, but also averted a thousand-year calamity for my divine realm..."
