Next up is about Xi Fu.
"Xi Fu, a wandering immortal and former matchmaker in the marriage management department of the Heavenly Court's mortal office, resigned and smuggled himself into the Western Paradise, where he engaged in rampant illegal activities, causing great trouble for the gods of the Western Paradise and objectively triggering a series of unpleasant events, such as the Western gods visiting the Heavenly Court..."
"...seriously disrupted the normal work and life order of the Heavenly Court, greatly damaged the friendly cooperative relationship between the Heavenly Court and the Foreign Gods, and had an extremely negative impact on the mutual trust between the Six Realms and the Foreign Realms. The nature of the crime was extremely heinous, the losses were extremely heavy, and the crime was outrageous even to the immortals..."
"...The Heavenly Inspector has been ordered to apprehend Xi Fu within a specified timeframe and to severely and swiftly prosecute him for disturbing the foreign territory. All immortals must learn a lesson from Xi Fu's actions and strictly adhere to the rules when crossing borders. When entering foreign territories, one must respect their laws, regulations, customs, and traditions..."
"...If anyone dares to act recklessly in the foreign lands and seriously damage the image of the celestial realm and the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Court will punish them severely without leniency."
What followed was a compilation of various behavioral guidelines and regulations from the Heavenly Court regarding interactions with the Western Realm and Western Gods. Each document was thick enough to be considered a book when put together.
Wang Yao chuckled, "You damn big-mouthed Xi, you're in trouble now, aren't you? This is what they call retribution! You've ruined me so badly, and now you're finally getting your comeuppance!"
The Heavenly Inspector General will arrest and interrogate you, with a deadline set and swift, severe punishment! You old codger, you're probably going to the Execution Platform this time. Let's see how you swagger now! You damn well better than be the Matchmaker, dumping this mess on me while you went off to have some fun in the Western Regions. You've gone too far this time, haven't you? Get ready to cry!
"What are you looking at?" Hua Tuo, having finished his work on Hui Shuo, noticed Wang Yao secretly chuckling to himself and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Here, take a look..." Wang Yao quickly stopped smiling and handed the document about Mo Guangmu and Xi Fu to Hua Tuo. Hua Tuo took a look and couldn't help but frown deeply.
"Did Mo Guangmu offend someone in Heaven? I was there when Hua Er broke into the South Heavenly Gate, and Mo Guangmu did nothing..." Wang Yao was speaking when Hua Tuo's expression suddenly changed. He jumped in front of Wang Yao and covered his mouth with his hand.
"Don't you dare talk nonsense. What the document says is what it is, understand?" Hua Tuo stared at Wang Yao with wide eyes. Wang Yao nodded repeatedly, at a loss for words. Only then did Hua Tuo let go of his hand.
"Let me tell you honestly, the area of ​​foreigners and foreign gods is very sensitive and complicated in the Heavenly Court. You should be careful what you say in the future. Someone as important as Mo Xian can be dismissed without a second thought. If we, as insignificant little immortals, get involved in this kind of thing, we won't even know how we died."
Hua Tuo reminded Wang Yao with lingering fear.
"Old Xi is the same. He held a grudge against the foreigners back then. Why bother? Why should immortals like us meddle in other people's business? Even if the Heavenly Court collapses, the Heavenly Emperor is still here, isn't he? Why should we guys have to worry about it?"
"Sigh, he just won't listen to advice. You were once a matchmaker, but now you're not even a matchmaker anymore. What's the point of doing those things so desperately?" Hua Tuo shook his head repeatedly as he spoke, his expression showing that he felt quite sorry for Xi Fu.
"This... what exactly is going on between Huagu, Tianting, and Yangjie? Why is it so sensitive and complicated?" Wang Yao didn't understand why Huagu had become so cautious when this matter was brought up.
"Sigh, there's too much I don't know either. Just remember one thing: the Heavenly Court originally wanted to bring the Western Realm under its control and merge it with the Human Realm. Think about it, Westerners are people, and we humans are people too. Apart from skin color, body shape, and hair, there is no essential difference."
"Merging them into a large human realm would indeed be quite suitable, but the Heavenly Court encountered great obstacles in pushing forward this matter because the Ocean Realm gave birth to a group of monsters, whom we now call Ocean Gods, but the Heavenly Court originally regarded them as monsters."
"They are not gods who die and become gods. They are very different from the regular gods in our divine realm. Unlike immortals who need to cultivate and improve, they are born with powerful strength. So they can only be explained as monsters. However, calling them monsters now would be taboo and would bring bad luck."
Hua Tuo shook his head and continued.
"At first, the struggle between the Heavenly Court and the Western Gods was evenly matched, but overall, the Heavenly Court had the upper hand. The Western Realm, especially the areas bordering our human realm, was greatly influenced by our human realm, and many places were even incorporated into our human realm at one point."
"But later on, the power of the Ocean God gradually grew stronger, and the power of the Ocean Realm also grew stronger. The Human Realm and the Heavenly Court suffered repeated defeats. Moreover, on our side, the Six Realms started to fight amongst themselves, with each realm wanting to become independent and become the king of its own. The Heavenly Court almost fell apart."
"If the Ocean Realm had wanted to annex the Human Realm back then, it might have actually succeeded. But the Ocean Realm had no intention of annexing the Human Realm at all. They just wanted to plunder the Human Realm's resources and completely destroy it. Those days were extremely dark."
"Not only do foreigners wantonly slaughter mortals in the human realm, but they also take all the good things from the human realm, even smashing them, to the foreign realm. Moreover, foreign gods are constantly challenging the Heavenly Court. As for the Heavenly Court, due to the instability of the Six Realms, many powerful beings are busy killing each other. How can it have the mind to deal with foreigners?"
"At first, the Heavenly Court managed to cobble together a ragtag army to fight the foreign gods, but they lost several battles in a row. Not only did the arrogance of the foreign gods not diminish, the Heavenly Court almost changed its masters. Think about it, at this point, how could the Heavenly Court still have the energy to fight with the foreigners?"
