Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1483

Aside from the reason for Freya's limited spiritual power, it could also be because Eddie had subconsciously rejected her as his deity.

"After experiencing the pain of the first acupoint opening, a child subconsciously develops resistance to the source of that pain. Once you begin to resist my presence, our connection will gradually fade away."

That was why she was so infuriated that she strangled him in his dreams when they reconnected, despite knowing he had truly forgotten about their history.

"Even if I did resist you as a child, but I didn't after growing up! Why didn't I feel your presence?"

Eddie felt extremely aggrieved. He had always longed for a connection with a deity, partly because he vaguely remembered his parents mentioning he had one when he was younger. But when he asked them about it later, they denied it.

Eddie's expression shifted. Then, as if immobilized, he helplessly watched as Freya's figure was drowned out by the smoke.

Before disappearing, he could hear her say, "If, one day, you no longer resist me and can truly accept my existence, perhaps we can reconnect without external help…"
