"...The purpose of your trip is to investigate the foreign media and plan to invest. This way, the foreign media will be more enthusiastic when they receive you..." Wei Xian explained to Wang Yao and his delegation the arrangements made by the Foreign Affairs Committee for their visit to the foreign region in great detail.
"...As arranged by the leadership, I will accompany you all on this trip. My main responsibility is to liaise with relevant units in the foreign territory and arrange your accommodations and travel. I hope you will all support my work," Wei Xian said in conclusion.
"What kind of organization is... Six Roads and Eight Directions Investment Co., Ltd."
After listening to Wei Xian's explanation, Wang Yao thought to himself that this was no different from the Women's Federation director's overseas visit. The only advantage was that he could directly contact foreign media without having to beat around the bush, but wasn't that also alerting the enemy?
He couldn't help but have deep doubts about the arrangements made by the Foreign Affairs Committee, so he asked about the crucial Six Roads and Eight Directions Investment Company.
"Six Roads and Eight Directions Investment Co., Ltd. is an investment company established solely by the Heavenly Court, which focuses on investing in important industries in the Western Realm. To be honest, we are just borrowing its name. In the past, when it was inconvenient for senior immortals to go to the Western Realm as private immortals, we also borrowed it."
“In order to deepen exchanges and cooperation with the foreign trade sector, Liulu Bafang Investment Co., Ltd. has been investing in the foreign trade sector. So although we have a nominal title, the company is definitely real. Director Wang, you don’t need to worry,” Wei Xian explained.
Finally, Wei Xian and Wang Yao agreed on the departure time, which was three days later. They would leave the Immortal Realm from the East Heavenly Gate Customs, take the teleportation array directly to the Erpi Pass in the Human Realm, meet the Ocean God sent by the Ocean Realm at Erpi Pass, and then enter the Ocean Realm from Erpi Pass.
Erpi Pass is a very special place in the Six Realms. It is located in the human realm, but because it was occupied by the foreign realm for a long time during the period when the foreign realm launched a large-scale invasion of the Six Realms, it became the only place in the Six Realms with a cross-border passage to the foreign realm.
The inter-realm passages within the Six Realms are all built under the supervision of the Heavenly Court. However, the Heavenly Court will not build such things between the Six Realms and the Ocean Realm. It is especially strict in preventing the Ocean Realm from building them privately. After all, the Ocean Realm has long coveted the Six Realms. The purpose of building inter-realm passages is obvious to everyone.
Furthermore, the human realm and the ocean realm in the Six Realms are inherently connected. Before the Erpi Pass cross-border passage was built, mortals from both sides could travel between each other by means of transportation such as ships.
The cross-realm passage is simply too swift. If there are no twists and turns in between, once the Ocean Realm launches an attack, all six realms are very likely to be in trouble at the same time. Therefore, keeping only the Human Realm connected to the Ocean Realm is of great security significance to the six realms.
Therefore, although there have been many calls for building a cross-border passage between the Six Realms and the Ocean Realm, when it comes to the specific implementation, the two sides have been unable to reach an agreement on many conditions. To this day, except for the Human Realm, the only way for the Six Realms to communicate with the Ocean Realm is through Erpi Pass.
In the past, in order to find a shortcut to the Six Realms, the Ocean Realm launched countless wars, bringing almost all other realms surrounding the Six Realms under its control. In fact, it also mastered many naturally formed inter-realm passages that could directly reach various parts of the Six Realms.
These passages exist in the east, west, south, and north of the Six Realms, and have historically played a significant role in the invasion of the Six Realms by the Ocean Realm. For example, there is a cross-realm passage in the Kunlun Mountains to the west, which was once used by the Ocean God to send a large number of spirits into the Immortal Realm.
However, since the Western Realm is a hodgepodge of various realms, the Western Gods have also split into many factions. For example, the passage to Kunlun Mountain in the west is controlled by the Indian faction, so whether or not to use it depends on the mood of the Indian Western Gods.
The inter-realm passages surrounding the Six Realms are almost all controlled by these foreign gods from the fringes of the ocean realm. Before being conquered by the ocean realm, these foreign gods from the fringes of the ocean realm were basically vassals of the Heavenly Court and always had a sense of apprehension towards the Heavenly Court.
Therefore, they are quite cautious about using the interdimensional passage. After all, other factions of foreign gods can escape far away if they offend the Heavenly Court, but they cannot. They have been here for generations, and once they offend the Heavenly Court, they will inevitably suffer the wrath of the Heavenly Court.
On the other hand, they were also afraid that their people would be affected by the Six Realms. If these people started to riot and return to the Heavenly Court, they would have no choice but to accept the Heavenly Court's rule. Where would they be as free as they were now, acting as local tyrants?
This is the result of the different systems of the Six Realms and the Foreign Realms. Just as Wang Yao had guessed, the lower the level of the Foreign Realms, the more they understand the Six Realms and the more they will like the Six Realms' system. Conversely, the higher the level of the Foreign Realms, the more they understand the Six Realms and the more they will hate the Six Realms' system.
So although the foreign gods of the world always had bad intentions towards the Six Realms and even the Heavenly Court, their behavior was different. Those around the Six Realms who had long dealt with the Heavenly Court knew that the Heavenly Court was not a pushover, so they were extremely cautious in their dealings with the Heavenly Court and were unwilling to offend it easily.
They do not arbitrarily hand over the cross-border passages under their control to the foreign world for sharing. The Heavenly Court is well aware of these cross-border passages and has long since dispatched heavenly soldiers and generals to guard them. Even if the other side can cross over, they will not be able to cause any trouble.
However, there was also a group of foreign gods who had the upper hand most of the time in their dealings with the Six Realms and the Heavenly Court, and had not suffered any major losses. As a result, they did not know what fear was and dared to constantly provoke the bottom line of the Six Realms and even the Heavenly Court.
However, the only interdimensional passage that these foreign gods can completely control is this one that enters the Six Realms from the east via Erpi Pass, because this interdimensional passage was built by these foreign gods.
They launched a major invasion of the Six Realms and occupied Erpi Pass, which was located on the edge of the Human Realm. They originally thought they could occupy this place permanently. In order to turn Erpi Pass into a bridgehead for attacking the Six Realms, they specially built a cross-border passage from the Ocean Realm to Erpi Pass.
