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

Chapter 589 Request
After arriving at the palace where the Third Prince resided, Lin Zhao transported the divine beasts to the Blue Duck Secret Realm. He and his brother then took their seats according to the royal family's arrangement, and it was the first time they had seen the current emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty.

However, this emperor's power was almost completely usurped, and his face was devoid of vitality. It was clear that he didn't have many days left to live. The position of the third prince was even just a step away from his, which practically revealed his true identity as the de facto ruler to all the Qin generals present.

Upon seeing Lin Zhao, the emperor's eyes lit up uncontrollably, and he uttered his first words since attending the banquet: "Is this the first prince whom my son intends to bestow?"

The third prince knew his father's character all too well. Before the emperor could speak, he put his hand on his shoulder. After the emperor spoke, all his voices disappeared.

"Yes, Father Emperor, this is Prince Rong, whom all the elders of the royal family recognize. The imperial edict has already been issued to the world."

After the fact that all the royal elders and the imperial edict were already known throughout the land was brought out, the Third Prince's voice carried a hint of warning: "Master Lin is so young, yet she was able to kill a late-stage Tribulation Transcending cultivator. She is also a ninth-level spirit talisman master who helped our Great Qin achieve a great victory in the Imperial War. She has brought generals like General Bai to our Great Qin. Father, she is truly deserving of the title of Prince Rong."

The last vestige of hope in the Qin emperor's heart to bring Lin Zhao into the harem was extinguished. His eyes, which had dimmed from excessive indulgence, completely lost their light, and he fell silent.

Even though he was lecherous and ignorant, he was not foolish or arrogant enough to include a level nine spirit talisman master who could kill a late-stage Tribulation Transcending cultivator in his harem. Even if the Great Qin Dynasty was the number one super dynasty, he wouldn't have the guts.

Such a young level nine spirit talisman master is someone even an emperor would treat with respect.

With the Third Prince as a replacement for the throne, he dared to speak up after learning Lin Zhao's identity. Even if the powerful figures of the Great Qin Dynasty's royal family didn't want him as emperor, they wouldn't wrong such a young level nine spirit talisman master.

Although the Emperor of Qin knew he didn't have many days left to live, it didn't mean he wanted to die quickly.

Although he became obedient, the Third Prince still did not give his father any chance to speak afterward. Whether it was rewarding the army or bestowing titles and rewards, it was all done by the Third Prince and the old man behind him.

Lin Zhao probed the old man's cultivation level and concluded that he was probably at least at the late stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, likely one of the few members of the royal family who had reached this stage. The fact that the old man was standing behind the Third Prince indicated the current attitude of the royal family.

Lin Zhao couldn't help but sigh that if it weren't for the Third Prince's last bit of fatherly affection, the Emperor wouldn't even be sitting here.

The Third Prince raised his cup to Lin Zhao and said meaningfully, "The name of Prince Rong is the same as that of the emperor in the Ancestral Phoenix Plane. Perhaps my Great Qin can also have similar blessings as the Ancestral Phoenix and rule the land of the Ancestral Dragon."

Lin Zhao's eyebrows twitched, and he met the Third Prince's knowing gaze. He laughed and raised his cup, saying, "Then Lin Zhao wishes the Great Qin a thousand years of prosperity and flourishing, and that one day it will unify all the dynasties of the First Emperor."

Their eyes met, and only the two understood what the other was saying.

After the celebration banquet ended and everyone left, Lin Yi and Lin Yu left with the emperor's eunuchs. Lin Zhao then looked at the remaining third prince.

Only the two of them remained in the main hall.

The Third Prince stood up: "What I said before was from the Third Prince of Qin to Prince Rong of Qin. Now it is from the Lord of Qin to the Ancestral Phoenix Emperor."

Lin Zhao was not surprised that the shrewd Third Prince would discover her identity, so she did not get up.

The Ancestral Phoenix Emperor's status is even higher than that of the Five Ancestral Dragon Lords, let alone when facing a ruler of an imperial dynasty.

Of course, her not getting up was, in effect, a direct admission of the Third Prince's suspicions.

If the Third Prince's previous words could only be considered a test, now he truly feels a great weight lifted from his heart.

His attitude became more respectful, yet he maintained the dignity of a monarch. "I've heard that Your Majesty Lin Zhao is a woman of ancient phoenix destiny, who defeated Ji Wantang in the imperial election to ascend the throne. She is skilled in swordsmanship. However, as far as I know, Your Majesty's specialty in the war of the dynasty is an unpredictable spear technique, capable of summoning thunder dragons—a skill excelled by the ancient dragon race." He paused. "What kind of dragon could simultaneously reside within an ancient phoenix capable of defeating the Blood Phoenix? Is an ancient phoenix that has repeatedly defeated the Blood Phoenix truly just an ancient phoenix? If not, Your Majesty's phoenix body could achieve the status of the Ancestral Phoenix Emperor. What would a dragon body achieve?"

Finally, the Third Prince bowed and said, "The dragon and phoenix are one, and they share the same throne. This is the will of Heaven. Great Qin is willing to follow this will and ride the wind to rise."

Lin Zhao was silent for a moment: "Your Highness's words are all correct, but I have no intention of coming to the plane created by the First Emperor. I came here only to bring my brother home and to seek revenge."

Becoming the Ancestral Phoenix Emperor was more a matter of the times, and she did not think that the Ancestral Dragon Plane needed her, an outsider, to be its master. She was quite happy watching the battle between the five Ancestral Dragon Lords.

The Third Prince neither refuted nor agreed with her words: "If Your Majesty has no such thoughts, you will remain the Prince Rong of our Great Qin forever. If Your Majesty becomes the ruler of the Dragon and Phoenix one day, then Yu Bai hopes that our Great Qin can become the dynasty that Your Majesty trusts the most among the Ancestral Dragons."

Lin Zhao didn't think much of it, assuming that Jiang Yubai was overestimating herself. She was already struggling to be the Ancestral Phoenix Emperor, let alone the ruler of the Dragon and Phoenix. So she laughed and said, "If such a day truly comes, then my connection with the Great Qin should be justified."

Moreover, Lin Zhao felt that even without him, with such a brilliant and almost supernatural third prince, the future of Qin would not be bad.

Jiang Yubai breathed a long sigh of relief upon hearing Lin Zhao's words.

After leaving the palace, Lin Zhao went straight to the Kong family. After saying goodbye to Kong Nan and Feng Chenlan, he had a drink with several old acquaintances from the Jiang clan.

The others were fine, but Old Man An, who had mocked her earlier, kept avoiding eye contact after seeing Lin Zhao's true appearance and learning about her achievements.

Lin Zhao walked over with a smile and patted him on the shoulder: "Long time no see, old man, are you feeling better? And your cultivation has improved a bit too?"

Old An, who had mercilessly mocked Lin Zhao back then, almost burst into tears when he was called "old fellow" by this address. He said bitterly, "I have to thank the Prince for not being too harsh back then."

Ever since Lin Zhao's incident, Elder An has come to realize that no cultivator should be underestimated. He knew that if Lin Zhao had been a little more ruthless and destroyed his dantian, even the Jiang clan wouldn't have been able to do anything to her.

Lin Zhao didn't make things difficult for him. Back then, Elder An's attitude was just a display of the clan's behind-the-scenes attitude. Although he was a bit sharp-tongued, it wasn't enough to make Lin Zhao kill him.

After bidding farewell to the Jiang clan, Lin Zhao took Cui Qingwan to find her eldest and second brothers and You Shen. After confirming with You Shen that the opportunity for her to advance to the next level of tribulation was in the Divine Soul World, she refused the Third Prince's request to stay in the bestowed Prince's Mansion for a few more days and led everyone straight to the Panlong Tower.

Upon arriving at Panlong Tower, Lin Zhao instructed Ming Gui to arrange rooms for everyone and said to Lin Yu and the others, "Big brother, second brother, once I come out of the Divine Soul World this time, we can go home."

Lin Yu nodded: "Okay."

Lin Yi sighed: "Among the three of us, Second Brother has always been the least capable, but Little Sister, don't forget you still have Second Brother. Don't push yourself too hard."

Lin Zhao: "..." The eldest brother is alright, but the second brother suddenly becoming serious at this moment is quite frightening.

P.S.: I couldn't edit the previous VIP chapters, so I'm correcting some inconsistencies here. It's my fault; I only advanced the plot without explaining the background details.

1. Ji Wantang has two concubines. Luo Shujue is the son of the leader of the Bright Hall, but in the first appearance, he was written as the youngest son of Ji Wantang's master. The other is the second disciple of the Palace Master of Hehuan Palace, not a disciple of a transcendent force.

2. After entering the dream world, Lin Zhao's familiarity with the Holy Dragon Emperor's Spear and the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword was the same, but her control over the Holy Dragon Emperor's Spear was not as good as that over the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword.
