Lilith does not recognize Haral anymore.

No, more accurately, it seems Lilith has "forgotten" everything related to Haral.

That includes not just the future Haral, who would become the "Creator God," but also Haral himself, Lilith's brother.

Charlotte is not unfamiliar with this kind of "forgetfulness," because she encountered similar situations in the afterlife, where the Bloodline forgot about "Lilith."

Charlotte had many speculations in the past about why "Lilith" was forgotten, among which the most likely is that Lilith's existence was erased.

Of course, after she crossed over this time, she replaced Lilith and further revised the reasons for Lilith's disappearance.

Perhaps... it was precisely her replacement that led everyone to "forget" Lilith.

This meeting with Lilith also indirectly verified this point; Lilith obviously deliberately allowed Charlotte to take her place.

Lilith placed her bet on Charlotte, hoping Charlotte could reach a height surpassing all gods; only then could Charlotte combat the "Primordial Evil" and change the fate where countless Bloodline members were devoured by the "Primordial Evil."

Of course, not only the Bloodline possesses the "Primordial Power," but the extraordinary power of the entire Mireya world also comes from the Creator God. For thousands of years, the power of the Creator God has actually already permeated all aspects of the Mireya world, merging with the world's vitality.

In the countless fragments deep in Royena's memory, Charlotte saw not only the destruction of the Bloodline; amid the shattered Blood Moon and the fallen Prince, the cracked earth and dried-up rivers sparked her imagination.

Combining Lilith's resolute attitude, Charlotte could easily deduce that what was devoured by the "Primordial Evil" was probably not just the visible, tangible "Primordial Power," but also the vitality that had long fused into every aspect of the Mireya world.

In other words, Lilith truly wants Charlotte to become the "Savior."

But this is where the problem lies.

If the Bloodline's "forgetfulness" of Lilith in the afterlife is because Charlotte replaced her, then what about Haral?

Could it be... Haral was also replaced or "erased"?

But what puzzled Charlotte is that Haral did not disappear, not just in the era she crossed over to, but also in the era where she exists in the afterlife.

Not to mention, Lilith in the time-space gap still "awakened" with all her memories, and since all memories have been awakened, she should not forget about Haral's existence.

But Lilith's reaction couldn't be faked.

This made Charlotte feel quite discordant, as if Lilith and the time-space she is in still have enormous errors.

Why this situation occurs, Charlotte cannot figure out, but she can be sure that it is related to Haral; Haral must have encountered something in the past or future that she does not know.

"Too many strange places... perhaps this is also the influence of the 'fractured' history of the Mireya world; after all... the entire world's history has massive bugs."

Charlotte sighed inwardly.

Time is a precisely operating machine, while history... is a part of time.

Be it the Bloodline's repeated reincarnations or the repeated engagements between the Primordial Evil and Lilith, it's evident that after unknown numerous conflicts, the original history has already been smashed to pieces, leaving only the shattered ruins.

Of course, this is not necessarily a bad thing for Charlotte.

In their conversation, Lilith had already told her that the "Blood Holy Scripture" was a forbidden divine artifact "stolen" from the primordial time-space power, and since Charlotte had mastered the initiative of "time-space travel," she naturally also held the advantage of "repairing" history.

"Lilith said before, the thing behind the door was following me, moreover, unlike me who can descend directly to this time-space, it cannot achieve true time travel, and its influence on history is much weaker than mine."

"Its 'arrival' was achieved through my crossing, in other words, only during my crossing can it influence this era, and even then... it's only an indirect influence; when I travel back, its influence would also become ineffective."

"This is also consistent with my conjecture; after all... if the thing behind the door could truly cross time like me, it wouldn't need to leverage the power of the Old Gods; it could deal with me directly."

"The thing behind the door... or rather, the Sun God Helios who merged with the Primordial Evil, their actions must have many restrictions that I have yet to comprehend!"

"Moreover, history that has already occurred cannot be changed, and since I have already become a demigod in the afterlife, even if the other party can affect history, they cannot influence the future where I have yet to have self-preservation power."

"In other words, as Lilith said, I can only resist the other party while 'creating' history, just as the other party must act during this process to deal with me, and this process will inevitably take place in the blank spots of history and the yet-to-happen future."

"This recent raid by the Old Gods' Allied Forces on the Free City State Alliance was an attempt to block the rise of the Bloodline; the other party's actions seem more like a probe, perhaps the other party still doesn't quite understand the notion of 'unchangeable history.'"

"The rise of the Bloodline surely cannot be prevented, then... the existence behind it could only suppress my growth during this process, leave some backhands for the future, and even plant some traps for the me who would travel back."

"My response is quite simple then: just make sure the other party's desires aren't fulfilled."

"The piece of history I traveled to now is a 'blank,' with only various 'results' recorded in the future and no detailed 'process.' This could be my opportunity to grow quickly and confront the other party..."

"Lilith forgetting Haral is definitely not a trivial matter; the Creator God has mastered the 'Creation Divine Power,' and must also hold part of the primordial authority, Lilith's forgetfulness... might also be a conspiracy by the existence behind the door."

"Luckily, Haral in this time-space has not disappeared, I should quickly meet with him and check his condition. If there is indeed any issue, perhaps the Blood Holy Scripture can discover some clues."

Thinking of this, Charlotte got up and walked out of the temporary office, and instructed Femarol, who was standing guard at the door:

"Send someone to tell Haral to come to the office immediately after he returns."

...

Charlotte did not have to wait long.

The day after the battle ended, Haral returned with the Alliance's troops.

A cheer erupted in the border fortress, and the spoils captured by the Alliance army filled dozens of carriages. Clearly, Haral's pursuit had been a great success, and Charlotte could almost imagine the scene of the defeated Old Gods army abandoning their helmets and armor.

After receiving Charlotte's summons, Haral quickly set aside his things and hurried to the office to pay his respects.

After more than ten years of "not seeing", Haral had changed considerably compared to Charlotte's impression of him. He was no longer the introverted boy or the somewhat awkward young man but had become a steady middle-aged man.

He was not of the Bloodline, and his handsome face even faintly showed crow's feet, marks left by the passage of time.

Haral... should be thirty-six or thirty-seven years old by now. Although he was not of the Bloodline, his Transcendent Aura was not weak. Charlotte roughly sensed it and judged it to be at the level of Blazing Sun Peak.

At this moment, Charlotte felt a sense of the fleeting passage of time. Previously she had always interacted with the Bloodline, witnessing firsthand the change of her "student" from child to middle age in less than a year, which made her feelings complex.

"Teacher Lilith, the guard said you had something urgent to discuss with me?"

This was the first sentence Haral said to Charlotte.

Calm, respectful, and even tinged with subtle fondness.

Just a single sentence, and Charlotte realized many things.

Unlike others, in Haral's eyes, she remained his teacher.

Charlotte did not know what level of fusion between her and "Lilith" existed in Haral's perception, but at least... it seemed to be just a change in address.

"Haral, do you... still remember our first meeting?"

Thinking for a moment, Charlotte asked.

Haral showed a hint of nostalgia:

"Of course, that was almost thirty years ago. At that time... I thought you were the Heir of the Apocalypse from the Tower."

"Yes, almost thirty years. The little boy who once was has grown so large in the blink of an eye."

Charlotte was also somewhat emotional.

She paused for a moment, then asked again calmly:

"Speaking of which, do you have any siblings?"

Haral shook his head:

"Not anymore. Since my sister died in the Battle of Silver City, the family has only me left."

Charlotte fell silent.

After a few moments, she sighed, her gaze showing a hint of depth:

"Yes, only you are left."

She roughly understood how her and "Lilith's" fusion had occurred.

Evidently, Lilith's complete integration with her should have begun the moment she gave her First Embrace to him.

In other people's memories, Haral's sister "Lilith" had already died back then.

And she, on that day, achieved "Nirvana," becoming the Blood Ancestor.

"Teacher, it seems you have something on your mind. Is there something wrong?"

Haral asked.

Charlotte glanced at him, then nodded:

"Yes, this time when I tracked the Old Gods, I discovered that their powers were different from those previous ones. Their Divine Power... contained 'Pollution'."

"You have confronted them before, so I plan to examine your body to prevent them from leaving any hidden dangers in you." Upon hearing Charlotte's words, Haral did not hesitate for a moment:

"What do you need me to do?"

"Just close your eyes."

Charlotte said.

Haral quickly obediently closed his eyes.

Feeling the absolute trust from his gestures and movements, Charlotte thought perhaps she was worrying too much.

However, Lilith's "forgetting" of Haral was indeed abnormal, and she had to carefully check his physical state.

Thinking this, Charlotte extended her hand and placed it on Haral's forehead.

With the quiet operation of Blood Divine Power, Charlotte activated the force of her Divine Soul.

And the moment she "entered" Haral's body, a mighty and holy familiar force swept toward her.

That... was the power of the Holy Royal Court's Holy Power.
