Drama King (Happy New Year, everyone!)

My father-in-law... had really suffered.

He had clearly been a formidable figure who had dominated the Known Universe for countless years, someone anyone who met him had to show some respect.

But ever since he took that ax hurled across star systems by the previous No Star God of War, he had never recovered his former glory.

For tens of thousands of years, day after day, he had been imprisoned in this tiny corner of the Heaven Dao Pagoda, rarely seeing daylight.

Compared with the heroic spirit he once possessed—if he said he would interfere in the Deno conflict, then he would interfere, and no one could change his mind—the current state of his father-in-law could truly be called utterly miserable.

He had practically given a vivid performance of the helplessness of a beauty growing old, a hero reaching his twilight years, and a miserable old age.

Even Ximen Lang could not restrain his urge to hug his father-in-law's thigh and write a huge "miserable" on it.

That was not even mentioning everything else.

Of course, if he had merely been confined, Ximen Lang would absolutely not have reacted like this.

After all, someone who had lived to his father-in-law's age had enjoyed blessings and committed sins.

Moreover, judging by the crimes he had committed—each one enough to wipe out an entire star system—even if he died right in front of Ximen Lang, it would not be undeserved!

But while confined, he also had to endure the lingering God-Slaying Power from that ax at all times, suffering a piercing agony no less intense than the torment of countless ants gnawing at his heart.

That was truly far too miserable!

Everyone, this had not lasted a few days or even a few months. It had lasted tens of thousands of years!
