Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 728

As if struck by electricity, Kai shrank back underneath the blanket as soon as he mentioned the Divine Power as if a piece of cloth would shield him from all external scrutiny.

Shannon froze in place, her pupils dilating as she processed Kai's words, stunned.

The Divine Power was the law of heaven and earth, the source of all things. All things in the world arose from the Divine Power.

So, how could it be it?

"Are you… sure?"

It was important to note that spiritual energy had dwindled in modern times, and those in the mystic arts could hardly sense the presence of divine deities. No ordinary people could detect the Divine Power, including Kai, a spirit.

"Why not?" Kai suddenly poked his head out again upon sensing her doubt.

This time, his eyes were red. "My mother… was a victim of the calamity lightning cast by the Divine Power during her transformation into a dragon…"

Although he was very young at that time, he witnessed everything.

Back then, his mother had successfully received a human's acknowledgment and was ready to transform into a dragon.

However, in that moment of her transformation, the Divine Power suddenly unleashed calamity lightning, shattering her essence as a supernatural energy.

The elders of the Wyrm clan said it was the Divine Power's way of forbidding the existence of true dragons in the mortal realm.

Kai was reluctant to accept that as reality; he wanted to give it a try despite the Divine Power's forbiddance.

As such, he was determined to find a destined companion to ask for acknowledgment, hoping to leverage their connection and transform into a dragon.

He was unconvinced the Divine Power would eradicate such a being.

Yet when he actually felt the presence of the Divine Power, he panicked. He collapsed weakly to the ground, and in his fright, he even revealed his true form.

She couldn't help but press on her aching forehead. The depletion of her spiritual energy left her nerves tingling with pain.

Tossing the matter to the back of her mind, she instructed Kai, "Don't mention anything about the Divine Power to anyone."

Without hesitation, he nodded. He had no intentions to do that, anyway. What if the Divine Power came after him?

Perhaps because of Shannon's presence, Kai gradually calmed his emotions. He anxiously asked about Benjamin, "Is my destined companion alright?"

Speechless, Shannon had no answer to that question.

…

Under the gloomy dark sky, Benjamin could faintly feel the breeze grazing his face. As the wind intensified, it felt as if he were trapped in the eye of a hurricane.

A black whirlwind enveloped him, and within that dark vortex, faint crackles of lightning danced.
