Blood Holy Scripture: True Ancestor Charlotte de Castel
Chapter 566: -59- Mythical Doubts

Chapter 566: -59- Mythical Doubts

"Only... five myths?"

Charlotte slightly furrowed her brows as she gazed at the five shimmering stars in the Crimson Star Sea.

She distinctly remembered that the first time she unlocked the Blood Favored power, she was already able to sense these stars in the ocean of her consciousness.

Compared to other stars that represented the Bloodline, these five stars were exceedingly brilliant and their aura boundless—undoubtedly, they were the myths of the Bloodline.

Charlotte initially didn’t notice anything wrong; there were five major clans among the existing Bloodline, each backed by a Bloodline Prince, so naturally, she linked these five stars to the five Princes of the Bloodline clans.

However, Charlotte was no longer the novice she had been. She was no longer ignorant of the history of the Bloodline.

She knew that there were far more than five Bloodline myths in history. There were over twenty Bloodline myths in Albrecht’s memory alone, whom the True Ancestor had exiled, sealed, or eradicated for various reasons.

The Nais Clan regarded Charlotte as a returning ancient Bloodline for this reason: during the era of the Bloodline myths, many myths of the Bloodline were sealed, exiled, or placed in slumber, making it difficult for the Nais Clan, legendary Bloodline themselves, to identify Charlotte’s origins.

Then, the question arose.

Every existence of the Bloodline should cast a reflection in the Crimson Star Sea of the Blood Holy Scripture, but aside from the five Princes of the great Bloodline clans, where had the other mythical Bloodline gone?

Even if sealed or exiled, they should not have disappeared without a trace.

After all, the current state of the Princes of the five Bloodline clans was also one of slumber.

As for why this was happening, Charlotte felt there could only be two possibilities.

The first was that the Blood Holy Scripture might not mark all of the Bloodline as she had believed, but only specific Bloodline myths.

The second possibility was that aside from the five gigantic stars in the Crimson Star Sea, the other Bloodline myths... had all fallen.

Given the immense power of the Blood Holy Scripture, far surpassing ordinary Divine Artifacts, and even capable of altering divine Divine Arts as the supreme Divine Artifact of the Bloodline, Charlotte felt the likelihood of the first possibility was very slim.

This was also why she had confidence in the Blood Holy Scripture.

Then... the most likely scenario was the second possibility.

And if it really was the second scenario, Charlotte had an even bolder and more provocative thought.

Were the five massive stars in the Crimson Star Sea really corresponding to exactly the five myths of the five great Bloodline clans?

Looking at the crimson stars in the world of her consciousness, Charlotte fell silent.

There were gradations of myths, and although she was essentially a "Demigod" now, her power was much weaker than the beings represented by those five stars.

Considering safety issues, she dared not rashly come into contact with these stars and naturally could not understand exactly what these stars represented.

Except for the Blood Demon Duke.

She had already had several indirect dealings with that one, and she was quite familiar with his aura.

She could roughly sense that out of the five stars, one should indeed belong to the Blood Demon Duke, and it was even one of the three brighter ones.

But as for the rest, Charlotte didn’t know whether they corresponded to the remaining four great clans’ Bloodline Princes or something else altogether.

From this perspective, it was very likely that the Nais Clan’s long-term loss of contact with their deity might really be because their Prince Stargazer, Cosy, had encountered trouble far worse than mere slumber.

This was not unrelated to Charlotte, for she also had to consider a question.

If all the other historical Bloodline myths had indeed fallen, what had caused their demise and what kind of power was it...

Albrecht’s memory had not mentioned these things at all.

In the understanding of the Bloodline, many Bloodline Demigods were simply "asleep", "exiled", or "sealed".

But if everything really were as Charlotte’s second guess suggested, things were not so simple.

Because that would mean some force, silently... eradicated all these "sleeping" Bloodline myths.

Exhaling lightly, Charlotte had a certain conjecture in her heart:

"Could it be the Blood True Ancestor from history?"

This also seemed possible, but this possibility made Charlotte even more troubled.

It seemed... her connection with the Blood True Ancestor was growing deeper, yet at the same time, the secrets regarding the Blood True Ancestor also seemed to be increasing.

"Forget it, thinking so much now is useless, what I need to do first is to build a solid foundation and enhance my strength while stabilizing the base of my power."

"Maybe... once the strength of my original body also enters the mythical realm, I can gradually unravel these mysteries."

Charlotte took out a gold Tana in the Dark Night Ancient Castle and used the Observation Technique of the Spirit Path she had learned to casually divinate her own future.

The result of the divination was as always unclear, but no ominous signs appeared.

Charlotte shook her head and put away the gold Tana.

Compared to the elites of the Nais Clan, her Observation Technique learned from the Blood Holy Scripture was admittedly mediocre.

However, her divination through Divine Power and Magic was at a higher level than that of a typical Nais Bloodline, and her divination results could also somewhat indicate some issues.

At least... her fate was not "preordained," and her "future" was not determined.

That was enough for her.

As for the secrets of the True Ancestor and the mysteries of history, as her strength grew, she would eventually figure them out someday.

With this thought, Charlotte dissolved the Crimson Star Sea.

Just as she planned to leave the Dark Night Ancient Castle, she suddenly felt a whim, hearing a murmuring prayer coming from afar.

Charlotte was slightly affected.

Having merged with a Faceless Divine Statue and unlocked the Faith Network, believers’ prayers rarely directly influenced Charlotte anymore, as the Faith Network usually managed it for her.

At this moment, the prayer reaching her consciousness must surely have exceeded the judgment of the Faith Network due to the number and intensity of the prayers.

With that thought, Charlotte manifested the Faith Network, and as she extended her consciousness, she soon determined the source of the prayer.

It was from the north, or more precisely, from the Blood Wolf Church in the Castel mining area.

Blood Divine Power radiated; crimson mists spread, and a vague image gradually appeared before Charlotte.

As the Divine Power spread, the image became clearer, showing dozens of werewolf believers clad in black robes gathered before an altar, devoutly praying and kneeling before the thorny rose Holy Emblem on it.

Their expressions were passionate and fervent, their faces a mix of hope and anxiety.

Behind the dozens of werewolf believers, hundreds of sub-humans and even humans were praying in the distance.

They did not seem as agitated as the werewolf believers at the forefront, but they too showed faces of hope and yearning.

And at the forefront of the Holy Emblem, beside Luf, the Werewolf High Priest, Sebastian in a tailcoat stood at the central main seat.

Facing the thorny rose Holy Emblem, his expression solemn and dignified, he opened his arms and along with a host of believers, chanted aloud:

"O Supreme True Ancestor..."

"Embodiment of darkness and shadows..."

"Source of all Bloodline..."

"Your devout, humble believers, we pray here for your grace..."

...

Seeing this scene, Charlotte understood.

This was the Church’s prayer ritual organized by Sebastian... now officially beginning.
