“Um… well… I’ve been busy with the department’s internal selection process lately. I’ve heard a bit about the Golden Horn Bay incident, but… it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with our Women’s Federation, so…” Ma Chaoxing stammered as he explained.
"What do you mean it has nothing to do with us? Whether it has anything to do with us or not is not up to you to decide. If you don't report things promptly when you encounter problems or hear rumors, what use is your position as the head of the External Liaison Office?" Wang Yao suddenly glared at him and rebuked him sharply.
Ma Chaoxing was so frightened by Wang Yao that he trembled, and sweat visibly poured down his face.
"However, I haven't made this request of you before, so the responsibility doesn't lie entirely with you. But from now on, all the information you know about the Six Realms and beyond must be compiled into a briefing and uploaded through the interface panel. Whether it's useful or not, I will decide for myself, and the office will conduct assessments on this."
Wang Yao then changed the subject, his voice softening, but finally becoming resolute again.
Ma Chaoxing nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, while He Xiangu took out a notebook and diligently took notes.
“Now tell me what you’ve heard about Golden Horn Bay,” Wang Yao said again.
“Yes, yes…” Ma Chaoxing wiped the sweat from his forehead and said repeatedly. “I heard that after Director Wang separated the God and Demon Realms, Golden Horn Bay, due to its geographical location, belonged to the God Realm and naturally came under the God Realm’s control. However, some aftereffects were left behind after the separation.”
"Because the Demon Realm sent many demons to help rebuild Golden Horn Bay, and they did not return to the Demon Realm in time when the boundary was divided, these demons stayed in Golden Horn Bay. After the boundary was divided, Golden Horn Bay originally intended to send these demons back to the Demon Realm, but Golden Horn Bay did not have a passage to the Demon Realm."
"To return to the Demon Realm, they would have to pass through the God Realm, but a large number of demons pass through the God Realm, and their safety cannot be guaranteed. I don't know the specifics, but in the end, those demons stayed in Golden Horn Bay and didn't leave."
"As it turns out, those demons did quite well in Golden Horn Bay. Not only did they produce many demon offspring, but the gods and demons even intermarried, resulting in a large number of god-demon hybrids. Recently, these god-demon hybrids have been demanding independence on the grounds that they are neither gods nor demons."
"Golden Horn Bay is located in the realm of gods. It wants to be independent, but the realm of gods will not allow it. It is said that a war almost broke out. However, the ocean realm stood up and demanded that the realm of gods resolve the dispute with Golden Horn Bay peacefully. Otherwise, the ocean realm would send troops to protect Golden Horn Bay."
"Then the Heavenly Court warned the Ocean Realm not to interfere in the internal affairs of the Six Realms, emphasizing that Golden Horn Bay belongs to the Six Realms. If Golden Horn Bay dares to openly declare independence, the Heavenly Court will definitely take action. At the same time, the Heavenly Court also asked the God Realm to exercise restraint and not to use force to reclaim Golden Horn Bay."
"After the Heavenly Court spoke, the Ocean Realm didn't take it seriously and quickly sent the Ocean God to Golden Horn Bay to help train the bastards there. This made the God Realm very resentful of the Heavenly Court."
"Nowadays, the divine realm and the Heavenly Court are just talking big every day, while the foreign world is sharpening its knives. Not only are they putting on a show of force, but their actual methods are also extremely arrogant. The bastards in Golden Horn Bay have actually become independent with the support of the foreign world, but they just don't dare to announce it publicly yet."
"I... that's all I know," Ma Chaoxing said nervously to Wang Yao.
"Is the person in charge of Golden Horn Bay still surnamed Zheng?" Wang Yao asked expressionlessly.
"No, it's not that. Lord Zheng has gained the favor of the Queen Mother of the West and has long since come to the Immortal Realm with his wife and children. The one in charge now is a branch of the family surnamed Cai, a great-grandson of Lord Zheng," Ma Chaoxing replied.
“Since Lord Zheng is the ancestor of those bastards from Golden Horn Bay, why doesn’t he do anything about those unworthy descendants? What good can come of mixing with foreigners?” Wang Yao asked, frowning.
"As far as I know, Lord Zheng, or rather, Immortal Zheng now, actually did get involved in this matter. When the divine realm first started to rebel in Golden Horn Bay, they approached him, so he made a special trip to Golden Horn Bay, and almost got into a fight with his juniors."
"In the end, it was the Queen Mother of the West who summoned him back. I happened to be with the Queen Mother of the West at the time and heard about this," Wang Zhaojun interjected when she saw Ma Chaoxing frozen in place, unable to answer Wang Yao's question.
"Oh? What exactly happened?" Wang Yao turned to look at Wang Zhaojun with great interest.
"I don't know the specifics very well. I only heard the Queen Mother of the West mention it in casual conversation. She said that Zheng Xian was too reckless. Golden Horn Bay is the territory of the God Realm. Now that Zheng Xian is an immortal, he should no longer meddle in the affairs of Golden Horn Bay."
"The Queen Mother of the West also said that if Zheng Xian's descendants recognized him as their ancestor, it wouldn't be a problem for him to intervene. But his descendants don't recognize him anymore, and there's also the Foreign God at Golden Horn Bay. If a fight breaks out and the Foreign God gets hurt, wouldn't that be a serious diplomatic incident?"
"Therefore, the Queen Mother of the West strictly ordered the God Zheng to return to the celestial realm," Wang Zhaojun said.
After Wang Zhaojun finished speaking, the conference room fell silent. Wang Yao turned to look at Ruan Xianzi and Chen Lin, and noticed that Chen Xian's eyes were flickering, as if she wanted to say something but was hesitant to speak.
"Chen Xian, just say what you have to say. This meeting is just to understand the situation, so don't hold back," Wang Yao said to Chen Xian immediately.
"Director Wang, you are wise. I... I used to work in the Internet Propaganda Section of the Heavenly Court's Foreign Affairs Bureau, so I do know something about the Golden Horn Bay matter," Chen Xian said after a moment's hesitation.
"What Director Ma and Director Wang said earlier is correct. I would like to add that after the incident at Golden Horn Bay, the Heavenly Court's attitude has always been to strive for a peaceful resolution. At the very beginning, the God of War and the God of Reclaiming the Sea were already preparing to send troops to Golden Horn Bay, but the Heavenly Court forcibly suppressed them."
"Because the Heavenly Court knows that there is a foreign god in Golden Horn Bay, once the two sides start a war, swords have no eyes. If the foreign god is really injured, the Heavenly Court will be in a very passive position. That's why the God of War sent Zheng Xian back to clean up the mess he left behind out of spite."
