Chapter 923 Extra Chapter Two: Perfection
Jin Ya also said, "I feel relieved that you're back. I also plan to go back to Chiyang to visit you."

Lin Zhao nodded, then looked at You Chen and the others from the Seven Star Palace with a complicated expression.

"Before I go to see Su Bai, let's discuss the matter of the Tianzhao Empire at length."

……

Lin Zhao's return was not widely known. It was only when Ji Wantang descended upon the plane created by the Ancestral Spirit that the heavens vaguely sensed the return of the Ancestral God, shocked by her resurrection.

In the cultivation world, only the Ancestral God possesses such abilities.

Standing on the plane created by the ancestral spirit, Ji Wantang couldn't help but laugh when she thought about what Lin Zhao had said before they separated.

"The power of the ancestral spirits is the sacrifice of destruction and the power of the dead. You have committed too many killings and have borne many karmic burdens even after becoming a god. Therefore, when I resurrected you, I endowed you with the power of creation."

Lin Zhao wants her to return to the Ancestral Spirit Plane and recreate the lives she destroyed.

"You want someone like me to create life? Lin Zhao, you've really got something going for you." Ji Wantang sneered.

She was a ruthless killer throughout her life, yet in her final moments, she became a creator and guardian of life.

But the existence of the power of creation made her consciousness clearer than ever before. She looked up and for the first time felt that the sun was no longer dazzling.

The warm temperature reminded her of the time she spent with her mother and brother when she was a child.

"Thank you."

……

Lin Zhao spent a month negotiating with the high-ranking officials of the Tianzhao Empire before he could barely convince them that the Tianzhao Empire would only exist for ten thousand years, and after that, it would only reside in the True Spirit Realm as the Tianzhao Alliance, while the cultivation world would still be managed by their respective forces.

"Everyone wants this position, but you're avoiding it like the plague," Qu Shu teased, amused.

Lin Zhao shook her head: "More than that, I want to take you to meet my parents. Shall we go?"

Qu Shu, Ning Wengui, and You Shen's expressions gradually turned serious.

Qu Shu was alright, but Ning Wengui, although he had met Lin Zhao's parents before, was taking them to see Lin Mang and Yao Yun for the first time since Lin Zhao returned.

"Should we prepare anything?" You Shen asked somewhat nervously.

Lin Zhao rubbed Lin Mu's head: "It's all thanks to you all that Xiao Mu has been able to grow up safely. There's no need to prepare anything else."

When Lin Zhao led Qu Shu and the other two, along with Lin Mu, to meet Lin Mang and Yao Yun, who were residing in the Tianzhao Imperial Palace, the two elderly people had already been waiting for a long time.

Since the defeat of the Celestial God, almost all members of the Lin family have been taken to the Upper Realm and revered as the only imperial clan in the cultivation world. Currently, all direct descendants of the Lin family have at least the cultivation level of True Immortal.

Especially Lin Yu, who is now only one step away from becoming a god.

It can be said that even without Lin Zhao's return, and without her and her several imperial consorts, the Lin family could still maintain its dominant position in the Upper Realm.

At this moment, after Lin Zhao bowed to her parents, she noticed him and the emotions surging in his eyes that he could not suppress, and said, "Big brother."

The single word "Big Brother" conveyed the entire attitude.

Lin Yu suppressed the pain in his heart and said, "You're back."

Lin Mang and Yao Yun felt sorry for him, but they felt even more sorry for their daughter. Especially Yao Yun, who had not seen her daughter for a thousand years, was now crying her eyes out, even though she was usually a strong woman.

She held Lin Zhao in her arms, constantly comforting her.

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back. My dear Zhaozhao... has suffered so much."

Even without seeing it with her own eyes, she could imagine how helpless Lin Zhao must have felt when she was surrounded by all the priests, had to bear the loss of her lover, and fought against the gods all by herself.

Lin Yu's parents were well aware of her feelings.

But Lin Zhao really didn't have that intention, so her parents wouldn't force her.

After recognizing Qu Shu, Ning Wengui, and You Shen, Lin Mang suddenly looked at his daughter: "Zhao Zhao, the Demon Ancestor..."

He wasn't deliberately bringing up sensitive topics; rather, as a father, he understood his daughter and knew she wouldn't give up on Su Bai so easily.

"Your daughter has already figured out a way to resurrect the God." Lin Zhao lowered her head: "Your daughter said that she is not the Ancestral Dragon or the Ancestral Phoenix, and she will not sacrifice her beloved."

The relaxation that Yao Yun had finally managed to muster on her face slowly disappeared: "Zhao Zhao, what do you mean?"

"Please forgive your unfilial daughter." Lin Zhao stood up and knelt down before her parents.

Seeing this, Qu Shu and the other two also knelt down before Lin Mang and Yao Yun, and Lin Mu also quickly got up and knelt behind his mother.

Yao Yun gritted her teeth, almost bursting into tears: "Can't you just be okay..."

Lin Mang grasped her hand: "Yun'er." "Go! Go! Don't come back until you find that brat!" Yao Yun said through gritted teeth, crying.

Lin Zhao respectfully kowtowed three times, then got up and left.

But she still stayed with Lin Mang and Yao Yun for three days. Three days later, Lin Zhao knocked on Qu Shu's door.

"I have entrusted You Shen with the management of the Tianzhao Empire. Ning Wengui, please take good care of Xiao Mu..."

Lin Zhao took a deep breath: "Qu Shu, what I mean is, would you be willing to come with me to the universe to find him?"

Their relationship spanned a lifetime, and their connection was entangled in many inexplicable and ambiguous aspects.

She felt some guilt towards You Shen and Ning Wengui because of the past thousand years, but she had not felt much remorse before.

But Qu Shu...

She always owed him too much affection.

Qu Shu reached out her hand: "You'll always be with us, right?"

Lin Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and grasped his hand: "Unless you let go first."

……

The next day, Yao Yun looked at Ning Wengui, who was helping her granddaughter with her calligraphy, and was furious: "Wengui, you are the child I have the most faith in. You are just too unambitious. When that brat comes back, I will make sure she and you have a grand wedding and let everyone know that Xiao Mu is your daughter."

In fact, over the years, Yao Yun has come to appreciate Ning Wengui the most among her sons-in-law.

After all, he was a child she had watched grow up, someone she knew well, and she had always seen his feelings for Lin Zhao.

It's just that this kid is too honest and not cunning enough, which is why Su Bai beat him to it.

Outside the door, Lin Yu looked at You Shen, who was handling government affairs, and asked, "What did she promise you?"

You Shen paused, writing: "She said that her return would be her wedding day."

Lin Yu's eyelashes trembled violently: "She loves you very much, but she doesn't know how to explain it to you."

Upon hearing this, You Shen remained silent for a moment: "It's not that important. I love her, and being able to be with her with her permission is enough."

Lin Yu stood up. "Take good care of her."

"Big brother," You Shen called out to Lin Yu, who was about to leave, "What about you?"

Lin Yu looked at his hands: "Me? I think the greatest satisfaction for Zu Long would be to live in a world with her in it."

You Shen and Ning Wengui waited for three thousand years.

Three thousand years later, Lin Mu has grown into a graceful young woman. She wields the Dragon-Phoenix Heavenly Decree Sword that Lin Zhao gave her before leaving, and beats You Li so badly that You Li has no choice but to flee to other planes in the universe.

Three thousand years ago, the plane created by the ancestral spirits was filled with life under Ji Wantang's power.

Three thousand years have passed, and the cultivation world has already discovered other worlds around the universe.

A midday sun three thousand years later.

Lin Mu, who succeeded to the throne of the Heavenly Emperor, played chess with his father under the sacred tree in the imperial palace, while You Shen's father looked at a scroll at the foot of the sacred tree.

Faintly, she seemed to hear the sound of crystal trembling.

She looked towards the sound and the light.

Not far away, the woman in blue was holding a snow-white nine-tailed fox in her arms, and she was talking and laughing with the young man in white next to her.

Noticing her gaze, the two looked up.

Their gazes met in the dappled sunlight and shadows of the trees, filling the world with tenderness.

The following are some side stories and extras (I'll post them as free chapters in the work's related section).
I managed to achieve the ending I had originally envisioned, despite two setbacks at work.

Thank you for reading this far.

My next book will focus on the relatively ordinary protagonist's growth process.

After all, this is a low point in my career right now.

I can't design a character like Lin Zhao, who is so courageous and roams freely across the heavens, in this situation.

I wish all readers good health and happiness.
