Back to the Mother-Child River: Face-Slapping My Stepsister Who Swapped My Phoenix Egg

The last male phoenix in the world has fallen, and the female phoenixes must drink from the River of Children to keep their kind alive. I, the one with the greatest potential to give birth to an ancient divine phoenix, fled the river and resolutely leaped into the Inferno Abyss, despite everyone’s bewildered stares. In my previous life, I poured all my heart and soul into using every bit of my spiritual power to hatch the most noble golden phoenix. Yet on the Phoenix Terrace, it pierced my chest with one claw and clung affectionately to my stepsister, calling her Mother. My stepsister became the Phoenix Matriarch, revered by all, and ascended to immortality. Meanwhile, I was accused of stealing a child, had every feather brutally plucked from my body, and was thrown into the Inferno Abyss to burn alive. But even as I died, I couldn’t understand why the golden phoenix, undeniably my own child, had recognized my stepsister as its mother. When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day I drank from the River of Children.
