-143- Cauchy the Stargazer

What's going on?

Clan Ness...... Is this a sign of collective surrender and allegiance?

Charlotte looked surprised, surprised.

With the "double agent" of Jurst, she knows a lot of information within the Ness clan.

With her understanding of the Ness Clan, she knew that even from the best of circumstances, if she wanted to completely subdue the Ness Clan into a force loyal to her, she might not be able to do it in a year and a half.

Charlotte couldn't help but look at Bardock, wanting to see if the current true leader of the Ness clan knew what was going on, and then ...... She saw a face that was more bewildered than herself.

Of course, surprise is surprise, since the Ness clan has chosen to surrender and be loyal so "acquaintedly", then as the ancestor of the bloodline, Charlotte should also show something.

Her gaze swept over the audience, and her whole temperament became majestic in an instant.

In the spiritual world, the holy book of blood blooms brightly.

In the real world, the divine power of blood exploded, and crimson mist filled the air.

The pressure of the abyss and the sea descended.

Dark, vast, deep......

Charlotte ...... Unfolded his own mental force field.

This is the first time Charlotte has shown her mental force field after breaking through her strength.

There are no bottlenecks, no difficulties.

Because...... Since the beginning of the crossing, her "spiritual force field" has actually been unfolded countless times.

That is the spiritual world woven by the Night Castle.

The deep crimson color renders the whole world, and everything around it seems to be changing.

In a trance, the Knights felt like they had arrived at a castle that déjà vu.

They seemed to see a simple and majestic Blood Throne, and saw Charlotte sitting on the throne, gradually overlapping with the majestic Blood True Ancestor in the vague memory of the high-ranking bloodline.

In the sky, dark clouds obscured the moon and gradually turned crimson.

And when the clouds dispersed and the moonlight cast on the earth again, the silver moon on the horizon had turned into a crimson blood moon.

Charlotte sat condescendingly on the moonlit throne, holding a simple and heavy crimson book in her hand.

Her clothes had turned into a black dress woven with thorns and roses, and her golden-red gaze was majestic and deep.

She sat there like an emperor in the world.

I saw her raise her hand gently, and the ethereal and majestic voice quickly resounded in the sky:

"Descendants of the Ness Clan, I accept your submission and allegiance in the name of the Ancestor of the Bloodline."

As soon as the words fell, Charlotte only felt that the blood divine power in her body was like a dam that discharged a flood, wildly released, and at the same time, all the Ness blood clans in the square bloomed with crimson light.

Charlotte couldn't help but let out a low groan in her heart, wondering why just accepting allegiance would cost such a huge amount of divine power.

She soon learned why, though.

The crimson glow continued to spread, from reality to consciousness.

In the depths of Charlotte's consciousness, in the sea of crimson stars representing the bloodline, about one-tenth of the stars suddenly bloomed with a dazzling red light.

There were at least thirty thousand of those stars, and the brightest of them was more than seven thousand, exactly as many as the Bloodlines gathered in the square.

That...... It is all the Ness blood that exists.

The light spread, enveloping all the stars, and at the same time, Charlotte sensed that her connection to them was rapidly strengthened......

If she was only able to locate the corresponding blood clan through these stars before, knew the coordinates of the other party, and was able to summon the other party through the summoning of blood......

So now, as long as she wants, she can project her gaze through the stars represented by the other party at any time, or directly summon the other party to her side.

What's more, she can even deprive the other party of the power of the bloodline through the "stars", or rather...... Give the other person the power of blood.

That feeling...... It's like the other party has become his own believer.

No......

This is the power of "believers".

As the connection strengthened, Charlotte soon realized the nature of the change.

The moment the Nesses were formally submitted, they were incorporated into her own faith network.

Merely...... Not purely as a "believer".

Rather, it is the identity of blood descent, or, more precisely, the bond of blood instead of the bond of faith.

Charlotte had an instant realization.

It's not that the True Ancestor of the Blood Clan doesn't spread the faith, it's that the True Ancestor of the Blood Clan doesn't have the motivation to spread the faith at all.

Because for the True Ancestor of Blood, all blood descendants are "believers".

It's just that what connects "believers" is not "faith", but "blood".

Not only that, but this bond of blood is even stronger than that of faith, representing absolute domination.

It is the same as the gods accumulate divine power through the feedback of the believer's extraordinary strength.

From today onwards, the strength of all Ness bloodlines will also be drawn by Charlotte, and a part of the power of the bloodline will be fed back to Charlotte.

In an instant, Charlotte's faith network was filled with thousands of new workers, and they were more difficult to betray than believers.

As if to verify Charlotte's judgment, after the "contract" was reached, the feedback came immediately.

Charlotte only felt that the divine power that had consumed the blood just now quickly returned, and the scale was so huge that it was even faintly a few points stronger than what she had consumed.

Feeling her skyrocketing divine power and the increasingly clear connection with the Ness bloodline, Charlotte quickly realized that she had taken over the faith network of the Ness Clan.

The stargazer Cauchy, the Clan of Ness, is "missing", and for hundreds of years, the belief network of the Ness Clan has been unmanaged.

Although the beliefs of the Bloods as a whole are not very religious, the accumulation over hundreds of years is also a considerable amount of wealth, and now ...... Charlotte laughed at it all.

Of course, this is not to say that the faith of the Ness clan was taken away by Charlotte.

The beliefs of the Ness clan are still there, and they still believe in Cauchy the Stargazer.

It's just that at the highest point of their belief network, above the belief node representing Cauchy the Stargazer, there is a new node.

It was a higher-status node, linking Charlotte's faith to the original beliefs of the Ness Clan, and at the same time having a higher level of control over the Ness Clan's original faith network.

In other words, it's like a company representing Charlotte's faith that buys the company of the Ness Clan, without changing the composition of the Ness Clan company, and parachuting in a board of directors that can decide the operation and future of the entire company.

This is somewhat similar to the god system within the Holy Court.

Charlotte's own faith is the main faith god lineage, and the Ness clan ...... became her branch.

In other words, from this moment on, the stargazer Cauchy ...... Forced to become Charlotte's slave god.

Wait a minute......

Forced to become from God?

Charlotte was slightly stunned, and soon realized an important issue that she had previously overlooked.

The belief network of the gods is controlled by the gods.

Even if a god falls into a deep sleep, other beings who want to seize the belief of the god must directly transform it through the believer, or replace the godhead of the sleeping god like Li Daitao.

But now, Charlotte didn't take the initiative to seize the faith network of Cauchy the Stargazer, nor did she preach among the Nesses, or even ...... None of these Nesses became her followers.

Under such circumstances, why did Cauchy the Stargazer not resist at all, and directly "acquiesced" to the change in the belief network of the Ness clan?

Even if there is the suppression of blood in this, even if there is the effect of the blood holy book in this, it should not be without resistance at all.

You must know that in the crimson star sea, the stars belonging to Cauchy the stargazer are still lit up, and the dazzling brilliance Charlotte is still unforgettable, and even directly blocked it, just for fear that the other party will sense his existence.

But now...... What's going on here?

Charlotte couldn't help but refocus her "gaze" on the crimson star sea that represented the bloodline.

After a moment's hesitation, she let go of the glorious shield on several princes.

However, when the shield was lifted, Charlotte's expression suddenly turned to surprise.

The stars representing the princes behind the other four blood clans have not changed much, and they are still shining with blinding light, but they are ...... The intensity of this light is not as scary as it was for Charlotte today.

But the star that represents Cauchy the stargazer...... But it's different.

In Charlotte's bewildered gaze, the star representing Cauchy the Stargazer shattered, and the illusory light was extinguished.

Then, the true appearance of it was revealed.

That's no longer a star.

It's a quaint stone door.

The stone gate is typical of the elven style, and you can also see some astrological symbols representing Cauchy the stargazer.

Above the stone gate, countless intricate inscriptions and chain seals are entangled, exuding an unsettling atmosphere.

"It's ...... Seal? Cauchy the Stargazer, a prince of the blood of the Ness Clan...... It was sealed? ”

Charlotte was slightly stunned.

She had heard from Yurst that the Ness clan had not received an oracle from the gods for hundreds of years.

Some radicals within the Ness Clan believe that the Knights' Lord, Cauchy, may well have fallen into eternal sleep.

Jurst had such suspicions, and even told Charlotte his guesses, but ...... Charlotte, who had seen five stars in the crimson sea of stars, had always had strong doubts about it.

The stars in the Crimson Star Sea reflect the status of the corresponding Bloodline.

The stargazer Cauchy's stars are still there, indicating that the other party has not fallen at all.

But now...... Everything is different.

It may not have fallen the stargazer, but it wasn't as simple as the other gods falling into a deep sleep.

He...... It's sealed.

Not only that, but the door that sealed Him even directly connected to Charlotte's ocean of consciousness.

Charlotte's gaze narrowly condensed as she looked at the seal on the stone door.

With two years of transcendent knowledge, she quickly recognized that the text on it was an ancient elven language, and that it was the highest level of use that was dedicated to sealing the supreme seal of the gods.

These seals Charlotte had seen when she traveled through history, and there were many corresponding descriptions in the books left by the elves in the central tower, which were once the sealing magic of the elves against the old gods of Miria, and it was said to be the most powerful sealing spell that the elves had studied before fleeing to the Miria continent.

Not only that, but as far as Charlotte knew, these sealing spells were even used today, and in history, the legends of sealing gods in mortal form are said to have used such secret techniques.

Apparently, Cauchy the Stargazer was really sealed.

And in addition, above the stone gate, there are three lines of bloody text warnings written in the lingua franca of the mainland-

"Don't open, don't open, don't open!"

"Don't ...... Open it? ”

Charlotte's eyes froze slightly.

She looked at the words carefully, they were rough and chaotic, as if they had been written in a hurry, and even became more and more messy by the end of the writing, as if the writer's consciousness was no longer clear, and he was barely finished.

Charlotte groaned slightly, condensed her consciousness avatar, and walked towards the stone gate.

As she approached, Shimen's clearer appearance appeared in front of her.

Charlotte noticed that the edges of the stone door were already cracked, and faintly white smoke could be seen coming out of it.

The white smoke had a faint taste of holiness, warm and cozy, and seemed to have a fatal attraction.

Just getting closer, Charlotte felt the cheers and kindness that seemed to come from her soul and blood, and she couldn't help but want to get closer, and even plunge directly into the embrace of the white mist and merge with it.

Looking at the escaping white mist, Charlotte's gaze was a little misty.

Almost subconsciously, she took a step towards the stone gate.

However, before Charlotte could continue to act, the Blood Sacred Text in the depths of her consciousness bloomed with crimson brilliance, enveloping Charlotte's consciousness incarnation.

Under the illumination of the blood-colored light, Charlotte's consciousness suddenly cleared.

And when she came back to her senses, her consciousness avatar was already only one step away from the stone door, and even her arm was stretched out unconsciously, and it was almost impossible to touch the seal on the strange stone door.

Charlotte was startled and hurriedly took a step back.

When she looked at Shimen again, her expression was already filled with jealousy and fear:

"It will interfere with my mental power and judgment unconsciously...... What is this white mist under the stone door? ”

"Behind this...... Is it really Cauchy the Stargazer who sealed? ”

Charlotte frowned slightly, and her gaze at Shimen was also vigilant.

And at this moment, she seemed to hear a faint call coming from inside the stone gate.

The voice seemed rather weak, if absent, like a ghost.

Charlotte's eyes were slightly condensed, and her heart was greatly vigilant.

She brought up her spirit, listened carefully, and then ...... Finally, I vaguely heard the intermittent voice behind the stone door:

"Save ...... Help me......"
