A flash of golden light appeared in front of her, and Althea looked up to see Samuel Chalmers standing before Magnolia Hearne.
"Althea."
He called her, with the same appearance, the same voice, yet an entirely different feeling.
She had always known that the person before her was no longer her dragon.
Once someone is lost, even if the dragon bone is reshaped into a new soul, it’s not the same as before.
Yet she never regretted sacrificing her own divine soul.
Although he was no longer a dragon, he could exist as the only Dragon Vein under the Heavenly Dao.
This time, appearing as Althea was merely to see him with her own eyes again, to touch him personally once more.
It’s just a pity... she hadn’t tasted more of the delicious things in this world.
This playful Mortal Realm is also different from before.
"Don’t worry, the people you are waiting for will all return."
Whether it’s the few from the Jennings Family, Emily Hearne, or even... Scarlett Jennings.
Althea said,
"The Ten-tailed is a presence recognized by the Heavenly Dao; without the Heavenly Dao, the birth of a new Ten-tail requires the recognition of another faith."
And this faith represents humanity.
Although Spiritual Energy is no longer widespread, the Heavenly Dao left most of it to humans.
This indicates the Heavenly Dao’s favoritism towards the Humankind Clan.
Therefore, in the absence of the Heavenly Dao, human faith can surpass it.
Thus, some say, "Man triumphs over heaven."
Among them, the faith and recognition from loved ones is the key to Scarlett Jennings retaining the Ten-tailed Power.
If Scarlett Jennings is not firmly chosen, her Ten-tailed Power cannot be retained.
Nor can she touch the deepest Ten-tailed Realm.
Magnolia Hearne emerged from a difficult decision, and hearing Althea’s explanation, felt numb inside,
"Did you say those words to intentionally make us choose Scarlett?"
Althea looked at her, then at Samuel Chalmers again, saying,
"What I told you was not fake."
She said,
"Scarlett Jennings’ divine soul is asleep; I can forcibly awaken her, but without recognition by Heavenly Dao, she isn’t truly Ten-tailed.
If you want the power of the Ten-tailed, you need to awaken her with your own faith."
As soon as Scarlett Jennings wakes, her consciousness will suppress this shred of her divine soul, and even the Ten-tailed divine soul will absorb her completely.
If they chose Scarlett Jennings, this last bit of divine soul would soon vanish.
Knowing this, she wanted to use Scarlett Jennings’ body to experience this Mortal Realm and safeguard the old acquaintance it cherished.
Even if only for a day.
Having seen it now, she’s not afraid of the divine soul’s demise.
This Mortal Realm has long lost those waiting for her.
Thinking this, Althea planned to close her eyes and await the last dissipation of her consciousness.
Just then, another unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded in her ears.
A familiar Phoenix Aura, urgent and with a trace of grieving—
"Althea!!"
Althea froze, turned to see beside her a Phoenix Fierce Flame transforming into human form, yet due to the divine soul being unstable, appeared somewhat translucent.
It was the Five-Colored Divine Soul forcibly pulled from Shu’e by Scarlett Jennings and Susan’s group.
After being devoured for over a thousand years.
The divine soul suffered numerous damages during continual suppression and rebirth.
Though nurtured by Susan’s body and reinforced with Samuel Chalmers’ Golden Light, only spent a day barely forming the original human figure.
But fortunately, he made it.
"Althea!"
