"Lord Lilith? Mistress Lilith?"

A distant call sounded, a voice with a slight tension that drew closer as time passed.

Charlotte felt like a fish sinking in water, and all the sounds of the world were like continents on the shore, ethereal and unreal.

It wasn't until the call became clearer and closer that Charlotte's consciousness slowly revived like a sprout of grass through a cold winter.

She opened her eyes, and her out-of-focus pupils reappeared, and she was greeted by Rowena's delicate face full of worry:

"Lord Lilith, my body ...... Isn't it a serious problem?"

Body...... Issue?

Charlotte was a little dazed.

His consciousness was instantly awake, and the memories before entering the gap between time and space also came to his mind.

Oh......

That's right.

She was examining Rowena before being pulled into the gap by Lilith......

After that, she's talking to Lilith.

Dialogue......

No......

Wait a minute......

Lilith, and ...... Harald!

As if thinking of something, Charlotte's expression changed.

However, she soon saw the scene around her clearly, and saw Rowena's worried look.

She suddenly put away her unpredictable expression.

"No, it's okay, I've had a thorough check-up, you're in good health, don't worry."

With a light breath, Charlotte comforted.

After speaking, she suppressed some thoughts in her heart, hesitated for a moment, and patted the girl's shoulder again:

"Familiarize yourself with your power as soon as possible, and when you have completely fused the power of the new bloodline, you can go further."

After listening to Charlotte's words, Rowena's worried expression finally dissipated, and she glanced at Charlotte cautiously, a little nervous, a little expectant, and a little apprehensive:

"That...... Then when you're going to choose a maid...... Can I sign up?"

"Maid selection?"

Charlotte was stunned for a moment.

"It's not...... An announcement from the city-state? You're going to choose a maid in the near future, just like those guards......

Rowena said weakly.

Charlotte was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that this was something that the Free City-States Alliance had decided a long time ago, and she had read the relevant documents at the beginning of the crossing.

Of course, it is said that it is the selection of maids, but in fact, it is the same as the selection of personal guards, and the so-called "personal guards" and "maids" are just to avoid stimulating the surrounding forces.

The real purpose of the selection is to give those excellent "seeds" of extraordinary blood, create three generations of bloodlines with stronger potential, and expand the combat power of the Free City-State Alliance.

But......

"Lady......

Charlotte glanced at Rowena with some complication.

Once again, she felt the subtlety of the cycle of history.

Although what she is doing now should be mending history, as "Lilith" said, the history that has happened cannot be "changed", Charlotte really didn't expect that in this world, it was she who led Rowena to the path of a maid.

"Well, you can."

Charlotte patted the girl on the shoulder again.

Rowena was even more excited.

I saw her respectfully and expectantly salute Charlotte and said:

"Lord Lilith! Lord Saviour! Rest assured, I ...... I will definitely live up to your expectations, and I will definitely stand out from all the selection candidates and become your most trusted maid!"

Charlotte's expression became more complicated.

Looking at the blood girl in front of her, she only felt that the image of the other party seemed to gradually coincide with her bloody battle in the countless buried "reincarnations" at this moment.

Through the girl's sincere gaze, she could feel the other party's respect for her

Admire.

It wasn't just feelings for Lilith.

After all, whether it was Silver City or the border defense this time, every time she saved the other party, it was actually her after the crossing.

Rowena was grateful for Lilith.

But again, it is also the "Savior."

And when Charlotte thought of the other party's unchangeable ending in the future, her heart was inexplicably blocked.

Sighing softly, she nodded and said:

"I'm sure you can do it."

……

After "checking" Rowena's body, Charlotte returned to her makeshift office in the fortress.

The inexplicable induction of the Blood Tome is gone.

The back hand that "Lilith" left on Rowena is a projection of the Blood Tome remaining in Rowena's body, and it is also a fragment of the Tome that transcends time and space.

Although Charlotte doesn't know how "Lilith" can do it, her ability to take the initiative to travel to this point in time and be able to see each other in the gap of time and space is enough to prove that "Lilith" has mastered the ability to travel through time and space.

Of course, now that the "projection" of the Blood Tome has been withdrawn, Charlotte can clearly feel that her sense of the Blood Tome has become more acute, and the power of the Holy Book has become stronger.

It was hard for her not to suspect that perhaps the shattering of the Blood Sacred Book was deliberately done by Lilith in order to throw some fragments into history so that Charlotte could easily travel through them.

Thinking of this, Charlotte's thoughts flew to the conversation with "Lilith" again, and her expression became serious again......

"Become the new God of Creation? You really think of me......

"You don't have to be so presumptuous, you are an out-of-spec being, and you have obtained the original key, and no one is more qualified than you to climb the position that the gods look up to."

"The original key? Do you mean the Sacred Book of Blood?"

"That's right, but the Blood Sacred Book is just the key, what you really have to do is awaken the true power of the Blood Clan."

"Bloodline...... True power?"

"Yes, you're probably aware of it, the power of blood...... It is an existence that is above many divine powers."

"Do you mean that the divine power of blood suppresses and devours other divine powers?"

"Devouring? No, it's just the return of power, all power comes from the primordial, and the power of the bloodline...... It is an incomplete primordial force."

"Incomplete primordial power? Does this have anything to do with the 'curse' on the Bloodline?"

"Mortals cannot bear the power of the primordial, so ...... For mortals, having primordial power comes with also having the side effect of primordial power, which is the desire for other active energies, and this desire manifests itself in mortals, which is the thirst for blood."

"Because supernatural power is hidden in the bloodline?"

"That's right."

"The primordial power...... It's really wicked."

"From a mortal's point of view, maybe. As the darling of the primordial power, the bloodline is not burdened with the favor of the creator god, but the curse of power, which is also part of the 'evil' of creation, and is the primordial desire for the return of power. For the Bloodline, this power is a reward for the bloodline, but it is also the price of a fate destined to madness."

"So...... The reason why those bloods who did not drink blood in time went crazy was because they did not satisfy the 'primordial' desire for the return of power, and then induced the 'evil' of creation in the depths of the bloodline? Therefore, after I become a demigod as the master of the holy scriptures and truly master the divine power of blood, will I be completely immune to the various side effects of the blood bloodline?"

"Exactly."

"Can I understand that if I can't withstand the power of the primordial 'evil', I will one day be like those fallen bloods, and like the sun god Helios?"

"Theoretically, but you don't have one

There is an advantage, and this advantage is enough to keep the last shred of sanity even in the most desperate moments."

"Because...... Am I an out-of-spec being?"

"Yes."

"Don't I have a choice?"

"From the moment you were chosen by fate, the gears were already turning, and now...... The original 'evil' has set its sights on you, and while it can only be after you for now, interfering with your correction of history, the slightest slackening of your mind could lead to irreparable disaster."

"Okay, so what do I do next? You wish I could be the new god of creation, but honestly...... I don't even know how to become a true god now, and besides, becoming the god of creation is only the final result, right? What you really want me to do is fight against Helios, who is fused with the 'evil' of creation, right?"

"I'm sorry, this path needs you to explore on your own, compared to you, teacher, I am just a loser of fate, my path did not apply to you, after all...... Only you can get there, and the primordial key will guide you."

"In other words, you don't have any good advice, let me feel it myself?"

"Sorry ......"

"Okay, but at least...... I know who my enemies are."

……

Charlotte and Lilith exchanged a lot.

Through this exchange, she solved many long-standing doubts, especially the secrets of the blood clan.

She didn't think that "Lilith" was cheating on her, after all, there was no need for the other party.

Of course, if the exchange ended here, Charlotte's expression would not be as serious as it is now.

What made her expression serious was the last few conversations between the two before "Lilith" disappeared-

"Teacher, my time ...... Is there anything else you'd like to ask about when it's coming?"

In the illusory crystal mirror, "Lilith", whose figure was becoming more and more blurred, asked respectfully.

"Hmm...... If everything is as you say, and you want me to be the new 'God of Creation', then what is the matter with Harald becoming the 'God of Creation'?"

"The creator? Harald? Who's that?"

Lilith in the mirror looked dazed.

……

With a light breath, Charlotte opened her eyes.

She stood in front of the window of her makeshift office, looking at the mountains in the distance, at the tent under the fortress, at the soldiers of the city-state alliance coming and going inside and outside the camp.

Her gaze deepened, and her expression became more and more solemn.

Lilith, who has awakened the memories of her past life...... I don't know Harald anymore.
