Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2238

Lucan's divine soul had long since perished. Even if reborn, he was no longer the man he once was.

However, that didn't stop Elowen from wanting to see him once more, as herself, through the remnants of her soul.

Benjamin didn't know how to feel as he stood before the woman before him.

He had witnessed every moment shared between Elowen and Lucan and had watched as she offered up her soul as a sacrifice just to grant him a rebirth as the Dragon Vein.

His very existence was all thanks to her.

Since returning from Celestria, a fragment of Lucan's legacy had taken root within Benjamin's soul. That inheritance, along with his memories, left him a bond to Elowen that he could never quite put into words.

Yet, more than anyone, he understood one thing clearly—he was now Benjamin Cooper. Just as, in his eyes, Shannon and Elowen were two different beings.

Feeling the loosening grip behind his back, Benjamin lowered his eyes and asked, "How's Shannon?"

When Elowen heard him mention Shannon, her expression turned unreadable. She stepped back, then sat down without warning.

The scene within the domain shifted with her movement, and where there had once been nothing behind her, a soft divan now appeared.

As she sank casually into it, the entire air of the space shifted to match her languid ease.

"Oh, she's doing great! She'd barely awakened her tenth tail and already dared to burn through all her supernatural power in a fight.

"If not for this sliver of my soul holding the domain together, the collapse would've taken her soul with it."

She cast a sidelong glance at Benjamin, then added deliberately, "It's the kind of damage that takes a few thousand years of sleep to recover from."

He fell into a momentary silence before saying, "Thank you."

Why was she deliberately making such a request?

Elowen's voice became more restrained, carrying a rare seriousness. "There is rarely a way to have it all in this world. If you want the power of the Ten-Tailed Elythune, then you cannot have her.

"Since you've inherited Lucan's legacy, you should understand that the Ten-Tailed Elythune is born from the Divine Power. That is why I can connect to it.

"Meanwhile, there has always only been one Divine Daughter from the start."

She, Elowen Wynthorpe, was the Divine Daughter. Even if her soul was sacrificed and she was reborn, without this last fragment of her soul, the power of the Ten-Tailed Elythune wouldn't exist.

What Shannon awakened wasn't the power of the Ten-Tailed Elythune; what she awakened was Elowen's divine soul, and the power of the Ten-Tailed Elythune that came along with it.

As long as Elowen's soul remained, even if only a fragment of it, her consciousness would always suppress Shannon's.
