Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2325

The next thing Albany heard was a steady heartbeat. It was Shannon's.

It had heard it many times, but never this close.

His thrashing limbs froze, and a sudden realization struck him. Was he being held by Shannon?

The hug lasted for just a brief second before she pulled back and lifted it up. Her expression was stern and serious as she said, "From now on, protect yourself. You don't have to throw yourself in front of me."

It'd nearly died.

When she first named Albany, it wasn't to mark it with a binding contract. There was never a contracting bond between them.

Hearing this, Albany raised its head and huffed rebelliously. "I'm the Almighty Albany, and I do whatever I want."

Why was it that the Stone Turtle's shell was known as the ultimate defense, but it wasn't?

This was just a mistake. Once it resumed cultivation, it'd definitely become stronger.

…

While Shannon focused all her energy on healing Fennec and Albany, the alternate world beyond the domain had undergone drastic changes.

The world had been on edge from ongoing wars between major nations. Now, military leaders from several countries issued joint public statements out of nowhere.

"There exists a parallel world outside our own, and the resources of that world rightfully belong to us."

All wars were rooted in competition over resources. If the stakes were high, enemies could pause their conflicts to unite against a common target.

Like a signal, authoritative figures from different countries began verifying the authenticity of the news. Many of them were high-ranking elites with significant control over national resources.

As those words fell, the massive vortex in the sky lit up with radiant golden light. The rays pierced the clouds and struck eight points across the alternate world.

From those eight spots, lines between them connected and formed a massive array that covered the lands of the alternate world.

If Mike were here to see it, he would have recognized that the theoretical model he'd had about the world-bridging array was perfectly executed by the Alternate Divine Power. It formed a colossal array that blanketed the world entirely.

He believed he'd turned himself into a living array to prevent others from seizing control, but he never knew that when he was devoured by the Alternate Divine Power, his theories and talents were replicated by its domain.

His miraculous escape from the Divine Power had only been possible because it had allowed it.

Humans always believed they could defy the Divine Power, but what they failed to understand was that every step they took was within the Divine Power's control.

Now, the Divine Power would show the truth that no one could defy it, not even the most brilliant genius of all mystic masters.
