The term "Father Emperor," translated, meant father-in-law.
By addressing himself this way, the Taijin God Emperor had clearly acknowledged Fan Lang as his worthy son-in-law.

Fan Lang stepped forward and saluted. "Greetings, Father Emperor. I've kept you waiting."
"Good son-in-law, you've truly received double blessings this time.

Stop running all over the place."

The Taijin God Emperor smiled knowingly and immediately arranged for Fan Lang
