did anyone doubt that Althea would accomplish it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ten-tailed Sky Fox, inheritor of the Heavenly Dao, wielding power beyond the grasp of ordinary Demon Beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To perish Heavenly Origin would take but a flick of her fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, they could not let her do this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention the devastation that would bring Heavenly punishment, more importantly, if Althea became entangled in Resentful Energy, it might give malice an opportunity to exploit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, hadn’t Shu’e dealt with Damian Carlson in the same manner?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Althea’s demonic power surge, ready to bury the remaining citizens of the Imperial City, Scarlett disregarded the Divine Soul’s tremors, abruptly grasping Samuel Chalmers’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flowing Golden Light was absorbed into her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The damaged Divine Soul was gradually covered by the Golden Light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett suddenly transformed her Divine Soul into nine tails, each Fox Tail enveloping the Golden Light, unhesitatingly pressing towards Althea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, she was, after all, only a Nine-tailed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the genuine Ten-tailed Sky Fox, even with the opponent’s demonic power reduced by thirty percent, she still couldn’t suppress it at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the collision of demonic power, Scarlett unexpectedly sensed the profound sadness beneath Althea’s furious Demon Energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett felt a stabbing pain in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the Divine Soul connection from a past life, allowing her to acutely feel Althea’s emotions at that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was in pain, a bone-deep pain, eroding every part of her Divine Soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett’s eyes reddened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With her mind in turmoil, she disregarded everything and flew forward, embracing Althea despite her injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her thoughts shifted, and demonic light suddenly appeared around her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was Samuel Chalmers or the Five-Colored, they were taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because in the instant Scarlett embraced Althea, a tenth tail suddenly materialized behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The snow-colored Ten-tails unfolded from behind her, gently swaying with her movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to Althea’s fierce attack, Scarlett’s Ten-tails lacked substance, displaying faint spiritual light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t block Althea’s tail attacks but instead enveloped them instantly with a sudden contraction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With gentle yet strong containment, just as Althea had done to her in the Mirage Realm, the enormous white Ten-tails enveloped the two within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their Divine Souls seemed to resonate at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Althea paused, her rampant demonic power and anger momentarily stalling, just in that instant, the familiar Golden Light shone on Scarlett’s wrist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Golden Light Bracelet connecting her with Samuel Chalmers emitted Golden Light, enveloping her, and Althea who she held tightly at that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The familiar Golden Light brought a sense of tranquility, making Althea feel as though she had lost all her strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The impulse to destroy everything seemed to dissolve at this moment through the person before her and that familiar Golden Light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Samuel Chalmers suddenly took out a piece of Dragon Scale, which gathered Golden Light in his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then it flew towards Scarlett and Althea, instantly merging with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the Golden Light, Scarlett and Althea seemed to see a Mirage Realm unfold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that Mirage Realm were the events before Damian Carlson’s death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damian Carlson gathered the people to protect them from malice, shielding them with his Golden Light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet unexpectedly, among the people, there were dozens who stabbed Damian Carlson’s dragon body with blades and swords filled with malice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Damian Carlson and the people were stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once they reacted, others among the people unhesitatingly rushed to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside Damian Carlson’s eyes flickered a momentary resentment, as a dragon’s roar echoed when he was ready to trap all these people, the next moment, they stood defensively before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some restrained the ones still intent on attacking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More blocked the way to prevent anyone else from doing harm,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and some were injured by blades and swords while protecting him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That instant, any resentment in Damian Carlson’s eyes vanished, yet the malice belonging to Shu’e had already entered him through the blades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Samuel Chalmers’s voice then reached their ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damian Carlson could have used his remaining strength to expel the malice invading his body and Divine Soul, but he chose to destroy his Divine Soul with Shu’e.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Shu’e’s death, the people affected by malice returned to normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damian Carlson was not killed by the people of Heavenly Origin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He chose to die for Heavenly Origin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Dragon Scale with Damian Carlson’s memories was his final gift to Althea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Mirage Realm, Damian Carlson recorded the first meeting with Althea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recording Althea’s commanding presence when she captured him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also documenting the moments they spent together over the years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the final moments of his soul scattering, he did not look at anyone else but the snow-colored Fox Fur he slowly collected and kept close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he spoke words to her he had never said before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A dragon loves gold and silver treasures. You are not a treasure, yet I love only you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But, I’m sorry...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From now on, I can’t stay with you anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the light in Damian Carlson’s eyes faded in the Mirage Realm, tears rolled down Althea’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ten-tailed Sky Fox follows the Heavenly Dao and does not understand human emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All her joys, anger, sorrow, and happiness were felt through Damian Carlson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, even crying was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tears flowed, and Althea let Scarlett hold her, crying like a child enveloped in the familiar Golden Light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dragon she protected so dearly was lost in such a brief unguarded moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could she not be heartbroken?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could she accept it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power of the Ten-tailed quietly dissipated at some point, and the fury surrounding Althea also vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She returned to Damian Carlson’s side, lightly tracing his tightly closed eyes with her fingertips, her lashes quivering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long while, Althea finally spoke, her voice hoarse with a hint of reproach,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I told you, the disaster of Heavenly Origin is irrelevant to you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For receiving a bit of faith from the Mortal Realm, why did you have to destroy your Divine Soul for them... how foolish.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, as in every previous angry moment with him, she flung a tail at his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, the motion was gentler than ever before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tail fell but didn’t leave, instead, it gently wrapped him, tenderly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long while, she looked towards the sky, her eyes utterly serene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she appeared so calm, Scarlett could vividly sense the turbulent emotions within her through the Divine Soul connection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An ominous feeling surged in her heart, and then she heard her say,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The disaster of Heavenly Origin was Damian Carlson’s calamity... Since you insist on troubling him, I intend to protect him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her dragon, without her permission, no one could take him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Heavenly Dao wasn’t allowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking thus, Althea suddenly turned her head, her gaze slowly falling on Samuel Chalmers standing nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes were so deep, like whirlpools in the sea, lingering on Samuel Chalmers’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at him, yet seemed to look through him, at someone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dimly perceiving something, Scarlett prepared to rush towards her again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next moment, she was suddenly pushed away by a powerful force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only to see a gigantic Barrier suddenly open around Althea, encompassing her and Damian Carlson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the Barrier, Althea’s Divine Soul appeared, the enormous spirit image of the Ten-tailed Sky Fox racing within the Barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With every stride it took, spiritual light emitted, the light falling into Damian Carlson’s body, contrasting Althea’s gradually dissipating Divine Soul power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Althea chanting the Mantra with a single hand, placed her fingertip at Damian Carlson’s forehead, amid spiritual light, they heard her voice clear and resolute,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I sacrifice my Divine Soul to transform your Dragon Bone into mountains and rivers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From this day forth, you shall become the Dragon Vein, protecting the mountains and rivers of the Nine Provinces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You protect your mountains and rivers,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and I protect you.\u003C\u002Fp>",1326,"2026-06-10T07:19:01.494Z",1,"novelbin.me","c87b86ae278cd53ae7783bfe77e803cb1cb1b42bddbe956dae3edcfc2b158908","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-1097","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-1095",1286,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-cover.jpg"]
