After awakening, the female supporting character in the abused novel only wants to ascend to immorta

Chapter 152 Azure Phoenix and Azure Sky
Lin Zhao carried Qingyao and successfully arrived at their final destination.

There stood a stern-faced middle-aged man. When he saw Qingyao in Lin Zhao's arms, his usually calm and deep eyes trembled slightly. He reached out his hand and said to Qingyao, "Come here."

Xiao Qingyao shrank closer to Lin Zhao, looking like she'd encountered a strange uncle.

Lin Zhao did not hand Qingyao over to the man in front of her, because she clearly saw the redness under the middle-aged man's eyes.

This is a sign that one is about to succumb to demonic possession.

Even on the verge of succumbing to demonic possession, he still retains his rationality; this man's strength is truly terrifying.

Granny Honghu, known as "Azure Phoenix," suddenly floated out and stared at the middle-aged man: "You've actually been corrupted by demonic energy. Has our Ancestral Phoenix lineage really fallen to this state?"

The middle-aged man spent a long time trying to figure out who Granny Honghu was before finally saying, "Feng Xiao, you're still alive."

"Looking like this now, it's no different from being dead." Grandma Honghu sighed, "That's what I used to think, and it still is now."

The divine bird had fallen into demonic ways, and now he was forced to live a wretched life as a tower guardian in such a place—something Honghu Fengxiao had never imagined.

Qingcang looked at Qingyao in Lin Zhao's arms and slowly closed his eyes: "Where is the child's mother?"

“Your wife is dead.” Lin Zhao followed Qingyao’s feathers and interjected, “She had old wounds from fighting the demons.”

Qing Cang then noticed Lin Zhao, easily sensing the Phoenix Luck on her with his strength: "How did you guess my identity?"

Lin Zhao rubbed Qingyao's head: "Qingyao told me that your bloodline is very similar to his. You should be Qingyao's biological father."

Unfortunately, he wasn't by his wife's side when she died, nor when his child was born, nor when Qingyao hatched.

Lin Zhao could sense that the little blue phoenix in his arms felt nothing but rejection towards her biological father, whom she had never met, except for the bond of blood.

Qingcang saw that Qingyao kept his back to him and didn't insist: "I've kept this life until now, waiting for the child to come to me. I don't have much time left to live, but there are some things I need to let those people know."

As he spoke, he looked at Grandma Honghu.

Granny Honghu knew what he was hesitating about, and said to Lin Zhao, "Activate the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword."

With a thought, Lin Zhao obtained the bone sword.

Upon seeing the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword, Qing Cang's last hesitation vanished, and his expression became somewhat intriguing. In short, Lin Zhao couldn't describe the complexity in Qing Cang's eyes at that moment.

“This time, you’ve chosen the right person, Feng Xiao.”

Grandma Honghu did not answer.

"Little girl, since you have gained the approval of the Ancestral Phoenix and brought the last bloodline of the Azure Phoenix clan to me before my passing, I will not hide some things from you." Qing Cang stretched out his hand, and Lin Zhao watched in surprise as Qing Yao flew uncontrollably toward Qing Cang.

She tried to stop her, but Grandma Honghu shook her head and stopped her.

“But this matter cannot be known to other major powers before you break through to the Nascent Soul stage.” Qing Cang paused, then his tone became even more sorrowful: “It concerns the truth about the fall of Ancestral Phoenix and the other four Creation Gods.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao narrowed his eyes: "The Creator God... I have heard some claims that after the war of destruction, they transformed into countless things in the planes they created."

"Do you know who the Creator God's opponent was in the war of destruction?"

Lin Zhao was speechless.

Such secrets are probably unknown even to the higher-ups of the Heavenly Phoenix Continent.

Qingcang glanced at Granny Honghu, seemingly blaming her for raising her disciple to be so ignorant. "It's an evil thought from another world."

Grandma Honghu sighed, "It's too early for her to know these things now."

"Has she never been persecuted by evil thoughts from another world?" Qingcang asked in return.

Grandma Honghu was speechless for a moment.

Lin Zhao frowned: "It's just a thought, how could it be a match for the Creator God?"

"If one's will is strong enough, one can control a vessel that is strong enough. The evil thoughts from another world during the war of annihilation manipulated a body from an unknown location, and fought fiercely with the five creator gods. Originally, the creator gods held the advantage."

Lin Zhao understood that since they originally held the advantage, but the situation turned out to be the result of the complete annihilation of the Creator Gods and the resurgence of evil thoughts from other realms, there must have been a problem along the way.

"But that advantage vanished because we had a traitor among us."

Lin Zhao couldn't help but ask, "A traitor? What kind of traitor could turn the tide for the five great creator gods?"

When Lin Zhao asked this question, he noticed the expression on Qing Cang's face and had already guessed what was going on, but he still found it hard to believe.

Qing Cang was incredibly shrewd; he had been observing Lin Zhao's every expression. When he noticed the change in Lin Zhao's expression, he couldn't help but exclaim, "What a clever girl!"

Lin Zhao smiled wryly: "But I'd rather not have considered this possibility, that it's the Demon Clan, right?"

Qingcang patted Qingyao's head approvingly: "Yes, the demons rebelled. But they alone cannot shake the foundation of the Creator Gods. So, there was a traitor among the five Creator Gods. This traitor led the demons to collude with the army controlled by the evil thoughts of another world to persecute us subspecies. In the end, the other five Creator Gods had to sacrifice themselves to perish together with the gods of the evil thoughts of another world."

While the betrayal of the Demon Clan was somewhat foreshadowed, Lin Zhao had not anticipated that the Creator God himself would encounter internal problems.

"Which one is it?"

Qingcang shook his head: "I don't know. I only know that the final result should be that they were destroyed along with that god who betrayed the cultivation world."

Grandma Honghu sighed, "It's impossible for Ancestral Phoenix to be with Ancestral Dragon. The problem will only lie with Demon Ancestor, Ancestral Spirit, and the Three Sovereigns."

Hearing the other creator gods' full titles for the first time, Lin Zhao couldn't help but ask, "Are the Three Sovereigns all the same god?"

"Of course not. The Creator God has always referred to himself as having five gods because each god created his own five independent planes. However, the five planes created by the Three Sovereigns each had three gods, which is why we call them the Three Sovereigns. They are Nuwa, Xi, and Hou. So, the Creator God is actually seven."

Qingcang was unconvinced by Granny Honghu's confident assertion: "Then you should know that Lord Zulong is infatuated with Lord Zuhuang."

"Enough!" Granny Honghu interrupted him, her usually gentle and kind face now showing a rare anger: "After the war of destruction of the Ancestral Phoenix lineage, only a few of us old geezers are left. Are you and I going to doubt Lord Ancestral Dragon?"

Ignoring her anger, Qing Cang calmly continued, "Before the Ancestral Dragon perished, he specifically instructed his subordinates to wait until the time was right and then merge their feelings for the Ancestral Phoenix into a single soul and cast it into the plane created by the Ancestral Phoenix. Do you know what the core power conflict of the Creator God represents?"

There was no room for rebuttal now, and it even brought up something more secretive. Granny Honghu subconsciously looked at Lin Zhao.

Her disciple's keen perception was even more terrifying than some old monsters.

Lin Zhao noticed his master's gaze and had to interrupt their conversation, saying helplessly, "That soul has now returned to the Ancestral Dragon Continent; that is my elder brother."

Then, she smiled at Granny Honghu and said, "Master, don't worry about me. I am not the Ancestral Phoenix, and my elder brother is not the Ancestral Dragon."

Upon hearing this, Qingcang gave a strange laugh.

The female lead is indeed not the Ancestral Phoenix; she is simply the youngest daughter of the Lin family.
