After ascending to godhood, Xu Wudu searched high and low for all kinds of work. He'd take anything, from serving as a civil or martial star to sweeping floors or welcoming newcomers. Unfortunately, no one was willing to hire him.
Before he even reached the palace hall, word had already spread far and wide. Every door was shut tight, with only a little immortal attendant peeking through a crack, trembling as he said, "I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. How could I let the God Lord take on such a tough job...?"
After Xu Wudu left, the attendant couldn't help wondering. God Lord Miaoyuan seemed aloof yet gentle, like a fine jade gentleman destined to write of life's splendor. Why did everyone treat him that way?
The veterans who knew a thing or two set him straight. "What do you know? He ascended after slaughtering an entire clan."
After being turned away again and again, Xu Wudu thought it over. He was in charge of karma, guiding and enlightening people. Why not become a therapist who healed both body and mind, helping people let go of their obsessions?
From Heaven to the underworld, humans, demons, monsters, ghosts, and gods alike all carried painful, unresolved memories they couldn't forget. He could handle them all!
The gods were stunned.
He... was going to heal other people's hearts?
A jade-faced King of Hell with blood on his hands might just counsel someone straight into the underworld. What a terrible sin!
Unfortunately, after only a few hundred years at the job, Xu Wudu hit the career-ending disaster the gods had expected. Devastated, he lost all heart and slunk back to Heaven.
As expected, this wasn't a job just anyone could do. One must know one's limits. He was done. Never again!
It was six hundred years before he ventured out again.
Xu Wudu returned to his old profession, ready to make a grand comeback. As he happened to pass a teahouse, a man suddenly floated down in front of him, blocking his way. The fellow even greeted him with a beaming smile: "Hello there, young master."
Where had this young punk come from? How rude!
