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

Chapter 712 Successor of the Hou Emperor
The boy simply sat down on the ground, taking advantage of the way he had fallen, brazenly exposing his fair chest and letting his slightly messy hair obscure his sharp, eagle-like eyes after his identity was revealed.

At this moment, although he and Zhang Xuzhe still have the exact same face, they give people two completely different feelings.

Lin Zhao finally understood why he had felt Zhang Xuzhe was dangerous before. It was because the wildness and madness that Zhang Xuzhe possessed was completely incompatible with his handsome and calm face, and even more so with his reserved temperament, so he exuded a strange feeling everywhere.

Now this eeriness and incongruity have been explained.

The Zhang family, known as the Celestial Masters, is said to have the strongest bloodline after the Three Sovereigns. However, the Zhang family did not inherit the relatively gentle bloodlines of Nuwa and Xihuang, but rather the bloodline of Houhuang. People with the bloodline of Houhuang all have the nature of Houhuang to some extent.

The strongest bloodlines of each generation will become vessels for the will of the Hou Emperor.

So who was the owner of this body?

Lin Zhao dared not think about it.

Su Bai stood, while Houhuang, who was controlling Zhang Xuyang's body, sat. Their eyes met, yet there was a sense that their gazes were level.

"Su, thousands of years have passed, and you are still so indecisive and soft-hearted. But as a demon, you clearly don't understand human ethics and emotions. I don't know how the Ancestral Dragon and Ancestral Phoenix raised you to be like this." Houhuang picked at his ear and began to look at Su Bai with disdain, as if he were an old friend.

"You shouldn't occupy someone else's body," Su Bai said succinctly.

The Houhuang sneered: "I don't want to take over, but these descendants have to be able to swallow my will! Ten thousand years ago, no one in the Zhang family has been able to swallow my will. Their bodies couldn't bear my will, so they ended up taking me with them to become inhuman madmen and die, until the next strongest bloodline is born, and I have to repeat this suffering again."

Lin Zhao was shocked and couldn't help but ask, "Is your method of inheritance to continuously pass on your will and let the strongest bloodline of the Zhang family devour it?"

Houhuang glanced at Lin Zhao, then couldn't help licking his lips: "You Su, this sissy, may not be good at anything else, but his eye for choosing a wife is truly first-rate. You Su, can you catch this one? If not, hand her over to me?"

Su Bai laughed in exasperation: "Are you sure you want to say this at a time like this?"

The phantom images of dragons and phoenixes slowly emerged from Lin Zhao's body: "Why ask Xiao Bai if you want something from me? You might as well ask me."

Upon seeing the phantom image of the dragon and phoenix behind Lin Zhao, the Hou Emperor immediately became much more subdued.

He had fought Lin Zhao before, and he knew all too well that this woman hadn't stopped him from killing her not because she couldn't, but simply because she didn't want to.

If he really angered her, Su might hesitate and let him go out of consideration for their past relationship, but he was certain that this woman was sure that the Houhuang lineage could continue, and that if she was provoked, she would send him to his death.

This is his intuition accumulated over tens of millions of years.

"You're right and wrong. It's true that I am now a will, and also a complete divine soul, or a complete inheritance. Unlike Nuwa and Xihuang, who can grant power to any living being, I only appear in the strongest person in the Zhang family. Therefore, my inheritance is the most stable and the most powerful. But it's too stable and too powerful. So after the evil thoughts from the other world stripped away too much of the origin of the Three Emperors' plane, the strongest bloodline of the Zhang family couldn't keep up with my strength and couldn't complete the inheritance. That's why it's like this now."

After listening, Lin Zhao had to say, "Your method of passing on your knowledge is truly unique."

Houhuang sneered, "That's right! Otherwise, would anyone be able to accept my inheritance? Wouldn't I be just like Nuwa and Xihuang? It's disgusting enough that they're on par with me!"

Lin Zhao: "..." She didn't mean to praise him, so what was he so proud of?
Su Bai noticed the change in Lin Zhao's gaze, shook his head helplessly at him, indicating that this was just the Hou Emperor's personality.

Arrogant and domineering, he thought himself the only one who mattered. Zhang Xuzhe had known this for a long time. He looked at Lin Zhao and said, "Your Majesty, do you have any way to help the strongest bloodline of our Zhang family improve its foundation so that it can inherit the legacy of our ancestors? If possible, I will pledge my loyalty to you on behalf of the Zhang family."

His title now became "Your Majesty," instead of "Emperor Ancestral Phoenix."

Lin Zhao remained silent.

The Hou Emperor was displeased: "What did you say, you brat? How could I possibly be a subject of the heirs of the Ancestral Phoenix and the Ancestral Dragon?"

Zhang Xuzhe clenched his fists and looked at him: "Zhang Xuyang! I know your will is still in your body. Stop acting like an ancestor to me. If you still want to live, if you still want the Three Emperors Plane to defeat the evil thoughts of the other world, if you still want the tragedy of the strongest bloodline of the Zhang family in ten thousand years becoming a monster to stop, then shut up."

Bloodlust instantly filled the Houhuang's eyes, and it was about to make a move, but it remained motionless for a long time.

After a long while, Houhuang closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he had the clarity of a young man: "Brother, I understand."

Lin Zhao looked at him for a while, then frowned and pondered: "Can you absorb the Hou Emperor's essence that the evil thoughts from another world stole to enhance your origin?"

Houhuang, or rather Zhang Xuyang, looked at Lin Zhao for a while and slowly shook his head: "I don't know, and can the foundation stolen by the evil thoughts of the other world be taken back?"

Lin Zhao looked at him with some surprise. When he learned from him that Zhang Hexuan had brought him here to commit suicide, he realized that he had no idea about the existence of the furnace and the Qiankun Mirror.

So Lin Zhao briefly explained the function of the furnace to him.

Zhang Xuyang's eyes lit up as he listened, and then he adopted the tone of the Houhuang: "That's good! I also thought about whether it was possible to convert our power back through an array, but unfortunately I never knew how the evil thoughts from another world operated their power and couldn't figure it out. You're very good!"

Su Bai's brow twitched slightly upon hearing this: "Even if she's not perfect, she's still my Daoist partner."

Houhuang laughed: "Why do you care so much about Su? I wouldn't mind being your concubine, you sissy."

Lin Zhao picked him up and threw him far away: "I mind that."

The Houhuang was tossed aside, probably because it had found hope, and it didn't care about Lin Zhao's behavior. It cracked its neck and laughed, "Just kidding. Compared to women, I'd rather drive out all these filthy things from this other world. But you do have Su..."

He seemed to want to say something, but considering their past camaraderie, he only glanced at Lin Zhao, then at Su Bai, and shook his head: "You've seen how the Ancestral Phoenix reacted after the Ancestral Phoenix passed away, so you should be mindful of your own situation."

Su Bai's gaze darkened.

Lin Zhao patted his shoulder: "I am not the Ancestral Phoenix, and Xiao Bai is not the Ancestral Phoenix. You don't need to say these irrelevant things. Even if you are concerned, there is no need to."

Hou Huang laughed and gave Lin Zhao a thumbs up: "I like this temper even more. It's rare to meet someone whose strength and temperament are both to my liking. If I were still alive, I would definitely compete with You Su for you. But if the kid in my body becomes strong now, I guess I will also pass it down with the inheritance."

Lin Zhao didn't want to respond to that sentence at all; she hadn't forgotten how fiercely this guy had beaten her before.

Clearly, Zhang Xuyang was also close to losing control, and the Houhuang was also inside this body, so the impact on it was unimaginable.

Therefore, what the other person said can most likely be translated as that he wants to devour his own power and physical body.
