I Am the Villain's Father, Though We've Never Met

Jinji was a sincere Buddhist cultivator who had never left his sect. He had barely even seen a female cultivator, let alone had a child of his own with anyone. But when he arrived in this world, he sensed the stir of a bloodline connection. Jinji froze, remembering the infant spirit fruit cultivated from his blood, which someone had stolen years ago. Jinji was a responsible Buddhist cultivator, and he quickly accepted his role as a father, deciding to take good care of his child. But looking at the child in front of him, Jinji found himself in a bit of a bind. His son had already grown taller than he was. He didn't need to be fed or taught to speak, but he was still difficult to raise and required plenty of attention. He was also far more rebellious than Jinji had imagined... . Han Xizhao is reborn one month before the apocalypse. He is not yet the notorious, feared Blood Shadow Marauder he will become after the apocalypse, but just seeing his scumbag father and his younger half-brother still fills him with murderous intent. He wants to crush them to death right there, in front of everyone. Just then, a bald young man walks up to him and says, "Benefactor... no, son, I'm your father." Han Xizhao may hate his father enough to wish he'd had a different one from birth, but that doesn't mean he can tolerate some brat coming up to claim he's his father. Is he looking to die? But when he sees his scumbag father's face darken even more than his own, Han Xizhao's anger suddenly fades. Then the bald young man says, "Was your adoptive father unkind to you? I'm sorry I came so late." Even that crazy remark doesn't make him angry again. However, Han Guangyuan really is his biological father. The paternity test proves it. Besides, how could he possibly have a father younger than himself? But as the apocalypse approaches, this young man with a screw loose crosses a chaotic city to rescue him. In the earliest, most terrible days of the apocalypse, he protects him and even gives him his food. Gradually, Han Xizhao stops caring that the guy keeps claiming to be his father. He even starts treating him like a younger brother, bringing him into his circle of people to protect. But later, when bald young man Jinji meets Gu Zhige, who will be as infamous as Han Xizhao and is supposedly the greatest mind-control esper, able to kill people without a trace; Lin Huanyi, the future Zombie King who commands an army of the undead; and Zhao Yanlie, whose flames will blaze so fiercely that everything in his path turns to ash, he once again tells them that he's their father and invites Han Xizhao to join in the family reunion. Han Xizhao: ... Han Xizhao is genuinely worried that one day Jinji will get beaten to death because of his habit of loving to play dad to everyone. But what can he do? He can only protect him.
