The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 708

Chapter 708: Chapter 708: Here We Wait in Hope for the Light

Although Jade Bennett previously avoided the topic of the Half Soul, Scarlett Jennings secretly sensed her Soul Breath while researching Jade Bennett’s real form.

In her current state as a Half Soul, her Soul Life can hardly last a century.

Jade Bennett, which is a thousand-year-old Spiritual Object, is like this, not to mention other Spiritual Objects that are only a hundred years old.

If they are destined to completely disperse within a mere hundred years, then what is the point of returning to hide in the mountains and forests?

This thought flashed through Scarlett Jennings’s mind, as the villagers, including the village chief and Jade Bennett, all looked warmly at her.

Upon hearing their Soul Life was less than a hundred years, they showed no surprise because they had long accepted it with composure in their hearts.

Suddenly, something swiftly crossed Scarlett Jennings’s mind.

Vaguely, she seemed to know the answer.

"You knew all along... And from the beginning, separating the real forms was intended like this, wasn’t it?"

Scarlett Jennings’s voice was slightly hoarse as she looked at the Spiritual Objects in front of her.

A Spiritual Object capable of Spirit Transformation must be an unparalleled treasure containing Spiritual Energy.

Every artifact in this village is a national treasure.

But their return was not merely to come home.

It was to choose... death.

Stella Gibson trembled inside upon hearing Scarlett Jennings say the villagers’ Soul Life was less than a hundred years, and hearing Scarlett’s further words, she couldn’t help but feel anxious.

"Scarlett, what do you mean? Why would their Soul Life be less than a hundred years?

Weren’t they treasures passed down for thousands of years? How come after so many years, they only have less than a hundred years left?"

Stella Gibson was genuinely concerned.

Not just because she knew the identity of the villagers, but also because in these few short days, she had considered them her friends.

Scarlett Jennings’s heart was also trembling with difficulty because of the world-shaking actions these Spiritual Objects were planning.

Samuel Chalmers saw this and reached out to hold her slightly clenched palm.

Feeling the warmth from the back of his hand, Scarlett Jennings finally managed to calm down her emotions, explaining to Stella and the others.

"In an environment with abundant Spiritual Energy, Spiritual Objects can indeed have a long-lasting Soul Life, but when the Soul Body is forcibly split, the Soul Life will naturally be severely affected."

It’s like a person having a kidney removed.

Even though one can live with a single kidney, not only does bodily function severely decline, but lifespan is also affected.

"The real form of Spiritual Objects is even more special; once the Half Soul is completely weak to the point it can’t sustain the real form, the real form will gradually lose its luster, and once the Soul Life is exhausted, the real form will instantly disperse, turning to dust."

Scarlett Jennings looked at the village chief.

"You plan to let the world see you by collective self-destruction, thereby accelerating the return of all the lost national artifacts."

Scarlett Jennings could imagine, once the hundreds of artifacts housed abroad constantly turn to dust, those refusing to return Cathay’s treasures will certainly take notice.

But ultimately, they will only come to one conclusion.

These plundered treasures cannot retain a single one.

Faced with the inability to keep them, either they watch as the treasures lose their luster and completely disperse, or they make use of them one last time.

By using them to exchange one last benefit with Cathay, leading to the successful retrieval of all remaining artifacts.

But for success, someone must react after the sacrifices of the artifacts to manipulate public opinion to pressure the Elizabethan Manor.

So, behind Artefact Village, there is a key person.

"Who gave you this idea?"

The village chief was surprised she saw through all their plans based solely on speculation.

But he felt gratified, precisely because the Mystical Sect had such people, they could stand on this land and feel hope.

"This is the decision made by all our artifacts."

The village chief said,

"I know, the nation has always tried its utmost to bring us all home."

Not just those artifacts lost abroad, but also all the national territories forcibly divided in past years.

Over the years, it is gradually being accomplished.

But the brighter the means, the more it needs time to accumulate and plan.

Because we are a grand nation, we cannot resort to underhanded tactics of stealing and robbing.

So they can only wait.

They are also willing to wait.
