After a Thousand Years Away, Why Are You All Still Good-for-Nothings?

I want to write a god-tier, ridiculously handsome shou!

[Plot]

After a thousand years of exile in the mortal world, Xie Cijiu returns to the divine realm.

Dressed in shabby hemp clothes and carrying an ordinary sword made by the blacksmith at the village entrance, he faces the gods filling the sky and gives a leisurely smile.

"I haven't touched a sword in a thousand years, but I can still beat all of you with one hand tied behind my back."

[Romance]

After vanishing for a thousand years, Xie Cijiu, the enemy of all three realms, has returned.

He makes up all kinds of nonsense, claiming that the Thunder Ancestor is his old flame and that his thunder magic is the best in the world.

Everyone scoffs.

Xie Cijiu rolls up his sleeves and forms a hand seal.

In an instant, thunder shakes heaven and earth. A bolt crashes down, splitting the East Sea in two.

Everyone is dumbfounded.

So is Xie Cijiu.

He was just bluffing! He doesn't know any thunder magic!

Why did lightning really come down? He and the Thunder Ancestor are completely innocent!

Wait... Could the Thunder Ancestor have a secret crush on him?

The Divine Realm.

Beichen Emperor Jing Yuheng stares at the Thunder Ancestor. "Give him whatever he wants."

The Thunder Ancestor nearly blacks out. Xie Cijiu has almost drained all his heavenly lightning!

"Your Majesty, he's about to return to the Divine Realm. You've been pining for him alone for a thousand years. Isn't it time you confessed?"

Jing Yuheng doesn't answer.

In a thousand years, what kind of person has Xie Cijiu not met?

Will he still remember that reckless night of drunken passion from a thousand years ago?

What Jing Yuheng doesn't know is that a thousand years ago, when Xie Cijiu was imprisoned in his home and gazed at the sea of stars with him, he glimpsed the most beautiful, boundless stars in the world reflected in Jing Yuheng's eyes.

Xie Cijiu:

In these thousand years, there are two things I have never changed my mind about, no matter what the years bring.

One is seeking the Great Dao for the mortal world.

And the other...

After a thousand years among life and death, having seen all the beauty in the world, none of it compares to the glance Beichen Emperor gave me in his youth beneath that vast sea of stars.

After a thousand years of life and death, no beauty can compare.
