The Ultimate Reborn Heiress (Scarlett) novel Chapter 436

Chapter 436 The Awakening of the Ancient Tree

Forshed

It had been almost two months since they started watering the old tree. Even a thousand–year- old tree that was close to dying could come back to life.

“Let’s go take a look,” Scarlett said.

She was a little curious too.

Ever since she first found the dying tree in the woods and gave it some spiritual essence, she had been too busy to check on it again.

She told her father, then headed into the woods with Madam Weaselly.

Even while sitting at home, she had already noticed something had changed. The heavy, gloomy feeling from before was gone. In its place was a faint, gentle energy–something alive. It had to be coming from the tree.

Soon, the girl and the small animal reached the center of the woods, standing in front of the old pine tree.

The tree had really come back to life.

Tiny green buds had appeared on the branches that once looked completely dead. In a few more days, fresh leaves would likely grow all over it.

Scarlett could clearly feel the life in the tree now.

It was full of energy, covered in new buds. It looked full of life again.

Then, suddenly, a voice appeared in her mind.

“Hello.”

It sounded like a young man. Calm. Slow. Gentle.

Scarlett replied, “Hello, old tree.”

She wasn’t surprised. If the tree sounded young, it probably meant that when it was close to dying, he had still been in its “youth.”

That made sense. A tree like this, one that had gained awareness and could cultivate, could live for thousands of years.

Even when the world changed and spiritual energy faded, it might have reached his final stage while still in its prime.

So a young voice was normal.

The tree spoke again, “Thank… you.”

He sounded slow and a bit awkward, like he wasn’t used to talking to humans.

It had mostly talked to the weasel that came to water it every day. He knew the weasel could speak and understand human language.

Sometimes, the animal and the tree would chat a little.

But the tree didn’t talk much. He was still recovering. On a good day, he could manage just a few short sentences.

Madam Weaselly had already told the tree who saved it.

The tree was smart. When he saw the weasel bring a human today, he guessed right away that this must be Scarlette.

Scarlett smiled. “No need to thank me.”

Finding that crystal bead in the first place had already been a huge stroke of luck. The bead held spiritual essence. It was said it had been passed down in the family, but Scarlett wasn’t sure if that was true.

She found it after her mother fell into a coma. It was inside a small box that belonged to her grandfather. It didn’t look special at all. Just a crystal bead. She thought it looked nice, so she

it on a string and wore it.

put

Since it came from her grandfather’s box, she had always assumed it was a family heirloom.

A few days ago, she asked her mother about it.

Her mother didn’t recognize it at all.

Her grandfather had already passed away.

So now, Scarlett had no idea where the bead really came from.

But in this age, spiritual energy had almost disappeared. Everything in the world lacked it.

Since she had the luck to find this bead and came across something like this tree, she wouldn’t just stand by and let it die.

The old tree thanked her again.

Scarlett paused. She had questions. A lot of them. She had always been curious about this fading age and about the rules that governed the world.

So she asked, ‘Do you know when this age without spiritual energy began?”

In this era, spiritual energy was gone. It had become much harder for anything in the world to

gam awareness.

The tree thought for a long time before answering slowly. “Maybe… close to a thousand years.

Scarlett nodded to herself.
