Blood Holy Scripture: True Ancestor Charlotte de Castel

The Northern Territory Restriction had been lifted, and the Faith recovery of the Free Tribe Alliance went quite smoothly.

At the moment when everyone worshipped the top of the Divine Statue, Charlotte, who had concealed her presence and was observing from mid-air, felt the Faith Network deep within her consciousness suddenly expand, revealing a sparkling node and hundreds of thousands of gleaming "Stars."

Inexplicably, Charlotte felt a vast power cross through the void and pour into her Faith Network and then merge with her consciousness and soul.

It was a kind of energy akin to Divine Power.

Or more precisely, it was the "Totem Power" accumulated through thousands of years of the Free Tribe Alliance worshipping the Faceless Divine Statue as a "Totem."

This "Totem Power" had its intricacies aligned with the power accumulated by worshipping gods and served as the superhuman strength drawn from successive Savior believers symbolized by the Faceless Divine Statue known as the "Savior Totem."

After a millennia of accumulation on the Divine Statue, its quality was infinitely close to Divine Power.

Charlotte discovered that with minimal effort, she could easily absorb this power, transforming it into her Blood Divine Power.

After a moment of consideration, the concealed Charlotte lightly pointed towards the Divine Statue on the altar.

The next moment, the Divine Statue on the altar gradually became ethereal, while in Charlotte's hand, its shadow slowly condensed and eventually took solid form.

This was Talent Magic of the Transcendent Bloodline, belonging to the Shadow Magic System under the Dark Path, involving the manipulation of spatial forces and the laws of shadows.

With the Faceless Divine Statue successfully retrieved from the altar, Charlotte flicked her finger, and the surging Blood Divine Power resulted in an even more lifelike Divine Statue appearing on the altar.

It was a statue prepared by the Dark Night Church for her.

However, it depicted Charlotte in her adult form.

Under the cover of Spirit Magic, no one noticed that the Divine Statue on the altar was switched.

In the gaze of many believers, they only felt that the Divine Statue on the altar radiated brilliance, its facial features becoming clearer as if acknowledged by the God once again.

Praises grew more fervent, and prayers more passionate.

Meanwhile, Charlotte took this opportunity to imprint the image of her divine form into the minds of the believers through Spirit Magic.

"Your prayers, I... have heard,"

she conveyed in the hearts of the people.

With that, the faith was restored, and Charlotte successfully unified with the Totem of the Savior from the Free Tribe Alliance.

The Faceless Divine Statue, which had served the thousand-year Faith Network task of the Free Tribe Alliance, was successfully retrieved by Charlotte.

Holding the Faceless Divine Statue in her hands, Charlotte could clearly perceive the mighty force within it.

The Faceless Divine Statue, already harboring the Blood Divine Power left by the Blood True Ancestor combined with the millennium-long worship by the Free Tribe Alliance, had accumulated a considerable amount of energy.

Charlotte roughly estimated that its combined strength was now likely surpassing the Divine Power she had transformed during her "Purification" of the Fallen Bloodline in Harcos' Holy Land.

Not only that, perhaps due to having been worshipped for a thousand years and Charlotte having unified with the Totem Faith of the Free Tribe Alliance, she encountered no obstacles in absorbing the energy accumulated within this Faceless Divine Statue.

Moreover, even this Faceless Divine Statue was easier for Charlotte to absorb compared to other such statues.

Charlotte hadn't even initiated the integration, and the Divine Statue, drawn by her power, swiftly assimilated.

Before long, the Divine Statue was completely digested and integrated by Charlotte...

However, although she had merged with a Faceless Divine Statue this time, Charlotte did not cause any other phenomena.

Charlotte knew that this was because her Demigod Position had become more and more stable, and a Faceless Divine Statue no longer held as much significance or effect for her as it used to.

However, although no phenomena occurred, Charlotte felt that her understanding of the God Law had once again risen to a higher level.

Not only that, she wasn't sure if it was her illusion, but she felt as if her Blood Divine Power had also undergone some inexplicable change.

The Divine Statue was absorbed, and the millennia of energy accumulation had also been taken up by Charlotte.

However, Charlotte did not wholly absorb these energies; instead, she took about seventy percent, and with the help of the Faith Network, she bestowed the remaining thirty percent upon the believers of the Free Tribe Alliance.

Blood Divine Power was stimulated, and as "Divine Grace Bestowal" operated, Charlotte felt the intensity of faith in the vague connections and selected about three hundred devout believers to promote them to Priests.

As the one leading the Free Tribe Alliance to "welcome back the deity," the "Divine Favored Girl" Astrid and the "Envoy of God," Crimson Flame Blade Sebastian, Charlotte also did not skimp on divine power, harnessing two pure clusters of divine power, large and small, and sent them over through the Faith Network.

She was no longer the Fake True Ancestor who had just unlocked "True Ancestor Liberation," the one who would be extremely pained by using just a bit of Blood Divine Power.

With the continuous elevation of her Position, the accumulation of Divine Power, and the expansion of the Dark Night Church, bestowing sufficient blessings upon the Devout was no longer a burden for Charlotte.

Those who have merited should be rewarded.

Blood Divine Power descended, enveloping the figures of Astrid and Sebastian.

In an instant, both of their presences surged dramatically.

As Divine Power entered her body, Astrid felt a tremendous force flooding her limbs, rapidly transforming her physique.

She sensed her Transcendent Bloodline quickly awakening and evolving; she could feel her understanding of faith and usage of Totem Power rapidly increasing.

In the blink of an eye, her presence surpassed that of Starry, entered Silver Moon, and continued to climb until it reached the Peak of Silver Moon, where it then gradually stopped.

A crimson glow enveloped her, and in that moment... she became a true "Divine Favored."

The same was true for Sebastian.

Crimson light blossomed around Sebastian, and his presence similarly began to skyrocket!

Within mere moments, his Transcendent power rose from the initial stages of Blazing Sun to the Peak of Blazing Sun, barely a step away from Legendary.

Not only that, his appearance also changed; his already handsome features became even more striking, and his blood-colored pupils took on a hint of golden-red.

And on Sebastian's wrist, the skull mark left by the Pure White Witch vanished in an instant, completely erased.

Feeling the changes in his own body, Sebastian first was surprised, then immensely excited:

"Great master, great Your Majesty, your loyal servant Sebastian thanks you for your blessing!"

Seeing Sebastian and Astrid, who looked almost like different people under the shroud of Divine Power, Charlotte too appeared surprised.

She knew what changes had occurred to her Blood Divine Power.

Her Divine Power... was now capable of directly elevating the Divine Position of life itself.
