Chapter 1

A man dressed in regular clothing stood beside the river flickering with cascades of light. He looked to be around the age of 25, and his hair was slightly ruffled. His eyes looked wise beyond his years, carrying a glimpse of emotion, as he looked at the ceaseless flow of water in the river.

Beside him stood a young girl with a pretty face and pearly white teeth. Although her beauty would attract everyone who cast their gaze at her, the expression she carried would intimidate anyone who dared to.

“Go back! You used to understand the common language! Have you gone crazy?” The girl spoke with a defeated tone while looking at the man.

‘This idiot had been sitting here for three days! What does he want? Is he looking to be killed?’ she thought.

Jason Sky lifted his head and took a glance at the girl with calm and collected eyes.

“What are you looking at? If you really wanted to die, just jump! It would be way better than acting stupid here,” The girl said with a vile tone.

Jason Sky looked at the girl once again before he ignored her by lowering his head like a monk in a trance. He was the son-in-law from the Dale family, while the girl in front was his sister-in-law. She had despised him to the greatest extent; thus, she had not come here to visit out of care. Instead, she came to prevent him from kicking the bucket and further embarrass her family’s name.

Jason Sky would simply submit if he was scolded in the past and walked home with his head down. It was said that the status of a son-in-law that assimilated into the wife’s family was lesser than a dog. It was apparent when it came to the useless being, Jason.

The reason that Jason sat here was due to what happened three days ago. It was a ridiculous dream, so absurd that Jason could not comprehend it even up until this day. The dream brought Jason back 5000 years ago, where he had to scrape by and survive a barbaric era.

He witnessed the great battle between Alexander and Moros, Asclepius sampling all herbs, and Cassander harnessing the power of nature to prevent floods. He had witnessed the rise and fall of numerous grand empires. He debated with Herodotus and Herophilus; taught Podalirius and Asclepius. Through the ages, he felt like he was just a passerby.

In recent ages, he had faced the six great warriors of the Divine Realm with 5000 years of cultivation experience. Once the dream was over, and time had regressed into the original point. Although it was unbelievable, he realized that it was not a dream and it had really happened. A wonderful transmigration and regression—he either felt joy or nostalgia. He still had a moment of hesitation as memories were mixed up in his mind.

“Did you think everything would be fine as long as you stay silent?” Miranda Dale’s piercing shriek rang in his ears once again. She walked towards Jason with a rhythmic pace of her high heels. She raised her hand to slap him, but Jason immediately extended his arm and caught her hand before she could without even looking at her. However, he had only done it out of reflex.

He retracted most of his force when he realized the person in front was just a young girl. Still, it did not stop her eyes from reddening. “Jason, you dare to fight back?” Miranda said in an incredibly distressed tone. She held her arm while tears were starting to build up in her eyes.

Jason lightly glanced at the girl in front and simply shrugged. The sister-in-law had despised him for quite a while. The main reason being he was useless. His mother-in-law disliked him; his father-in-law looked down on him. His sister-in-law despised him while his relatives and friends pointed out flaws in him. It was a daily occurrence that Jason had acclimated to already.

However, everything will be different starting from today. After all, she was the one he had been deeply attached to, and it was the reason that he never left and never gave up. He would stay no matter how many hardships he had endured.

After being tossed around the world for 5000 years, he still had not fully understood the meaning of love. It was a problem that was shared among many powerful figures in the world, not only him. Jason finally spoke with a calm voice, with a sense of pride hidden within, “this was her sister after all.”

Looking at those eyes that were calm and collective, Miranda realized that her supposed ‘brother-in-law’ was different compared to the past. However, she could not put her finger on what was different.

“We are having a family gathering today, and my sister wants you to come home,” Miranda stared at Jason as she spoke. She immediately turned around and left, wanting to avoid spending any more time with the current person that Jason is being.
