Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2066

Time-travel was dangerous and risky. Before departing, Shannon made sure to inform Thalia, Hector, and the others.

Though they were worried, they respected her choice since she'd made up her mind.

The process began with the activation of the Soul Tree. Eight elders of the Wynthorpe clan surrounded the tree and formed an array, while Shannon, Benjamin, and Trevaris stood on the array beneath its canopy.

Shannon placed her palm on the Soul Tree and connected her thoughts to its core. Once her thoughts linked with the Soul Tree's core, she pulled Benjamin and Trevaris into her mind domain.

The domains unfolded as the Tetrad Barrier stretched.

Soul bells on the tree quivered and released waves after waves of invisible ripples, cutting through her domain until a time-traveling portal appeared before them.

The three exchanged a look and stepped through the portal.

That was just the beginning.

…

Outside the domain, Louise channeled continuous supernatural energy into the Soul Tree. To ensure they could reach the precise timeline they sought, the portal needed constant energy to keep it extending backward in time.

Thalia stood close by and watched as Louise's supernatural energy drained rapidly. The shimmer in Louise's snow-white hair dimmed, and her skin began to age visibly before their eyes.

Thalia's heart clenched. She stepped forward to stop Louise, but Reuben held her back. "Don't interfere. She won't do anything that'll harm Shannon."

Thalia's feelings felt tangled and heavy. She'd never doubted Louise's intentions and hadn't expected Louise to burn so much of her supernatural energy for Shannon's sake.

But then again, opening a portal to the past was no easy feat, even with the Soul Tree's support. She couldn't understand why Louise was willing to go this far.

Louise answered the question after Shannon's consciousness was successfully sent into the portal. "Finding the phoenix's divine soul means nothing to me or the Wynthorpe clan, but this journey might just be her opportunity."
