The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 1151

Chapter 1151: Chapter 1151: Cooperating with the Heavenly Dao

Although it seemed somewhat absurd, if it was indeed true, at least they could ensure Ashton’s safety for now.

As long as the Otherworld Heavens had a motive, Ashton would be fine.

With this, it was enough to temporarily ease the minds of the few people present.

Having finished discussing Ashton, the next topic naturally shifted to why the Five-Colored suddenly decided to stay.

As the conversation reached this point, everyone’s gaze, including Shellback’s, was fixed on the porcelain doll hosting the Five-Colored.

It was Scarlett Jennings who spoke first,

"From the beginning, you knew that Shu’e wasn’t truly vanquished. Not merging with the Three Tree Divine Soul and coming with them to the Otherworld was actually to find and deal with the remaining half of Shu’e, isn’t it?"

Although it was posed as a question, Scarlett’s eyes and tone clearly carried a certainty.

The Five-Colored did not speak, simply acquiescing silently.

Stella clicked her tongue and couldn’t help but speak,

"Let me say something, don’t blame me for being young, at my age, I tend to speak my mind."

She said, sitting slightly straighter, looking down at the porcelain doll on the coffee table,

"You, senior, have lived long and your Divine Soul has been entangled with Shu’e for millennia, so maybe your thinking is still stuck in the feudal era. But we modern youth no longer believe in sacrificing everything for the sake of children."

With a serious look on her baby face, Stella began to lecture the Five-Colored,

"We modern people place importance on team spirit, do you understand team spirit?"

She gestured to the row of people on the sofa,

"Although we’re a group thrown together temporarily, now that we’re here, we are a team.

If there’s a problem, we solve it, and if we can’t solve it, we find a way, mobilize the masses to solve it together. In Cathay, we never emphasize individual heroism.

We value unity and the strength of the collective... You must trust that in times of crisis, it won’t be just one person who stands up, but everyone..."

As she finished, she looked at the Five-Colored seriously and said,

"I think you need to learn a bit and correct your mindset."

After delivering this little essay, Stella’s pent-up frustration finally eased a little.

The Five-Colored was clearly stunned.

Magnolia Hearne and the others were also stunned, but that didn’t stop them from clapping.

"Well said," Jasmine Hamilton said.

Nathan White nodded in agreement, adding, "Team spirit, very important."

Greta, rarely, showed a slight change in expression, seriously agreeing, "Comrades in arms."

Scarlett Jennings also showed approval in her eyes, not expecting Stella to say such things to the Five-Colored.

It seemed there was no need for her to say more.

As she was acknowledging this, she noticed Magnolia Hearne looking at her,

"Stella’s words aren’t just for him, they’re for you too, you need to correct your problem,"

referring to the earlier incident where Scarlett told the others to leave her behind.

She knew that Scarlett now surpassed her by a large margin in both demonic and spiritual power.

But no mother wants to see her child rush to the front while being powerless to protect them.

Just because you’ve cultivated Ten-tailed doesn’t mean you have to bear everything.

Sometimes, she wished that Scarlett could depend on and trust those around her more.

Scarlett, being called out, realized Stella was also looking at her, evidently the essay was also directed at her.

She wanted to explain that she didn’t mean it, that in many situations, she still trusted them greatly.

But facing Magnolia and Stella’s direct gaze, Scarlett lowered her head obediently after a long silence,

"I understand, I won’t do it again."

It could serve as an example for the Five-Colored.

Sure enough, seeing Scarlett readily admit her mistake, the Five-Colored, still slightly puzzled, also responded, "I understand too."

After a pause, they asked,

At that time, she had been curious—

"Since the heavens can leave a separate Power of Heavenly Path to suppress the Otherworld calamities, why hasn’t it ever tried to reclaim the power within me or Jasmine?"

She and Jasmine absorbed the Power of Heavenly Path, forced into becoming the Otherworld’s anchor, because they had no way to return the power they absorbed.

But just because they couldn’t do it didn’t mean the heavens couldn’t.

Over the years, it was entirely possible for it to reclaim the power it released.

But it never did.

Why?

Relating it to the current state of the heavens merged with Shu’e, a hypothesis formed in Magnolia’s mind,

"Could it be that by scattering part of the Power of Heavenly Path early on, it’s avoiding that power being consumed by Shu’e?"

As heavens, naturally, it wouldn’t want to be controlled.

Even if its goals align with Shu’e’s, just as Shu’e despises being influenced by the Five-Colored’s Divine Soul.

Even merged with Shu’e, the heavens would not want to be influenced or driven by Shu’e’s evil intentions to do things against heavenly rules.

Those in higher positions dislike having their decisions dictated, even if the decision is correct.

Scarlett thought, perhaps the Otherworld Heavens were in such a predicament.

If so, she had another idea.

"Maybe we can try to cooperate with the Otherworld Heavens."

In a three-way battle, the first to collaborate naturally gains an overwhelming advantage.

But what if the original collaboration turns sour?

Even if they guess wrong, they can try to make their collaboration uncomfortable.

Considering the intentions of the heavens, they might have a chance to win the heavens over to their side.

Having once managed to separate the Five-Colored Divine Soul from Shu’e, now they may find a way to separate Shu’e from the Otherworld Heavens...
