Blood Holy Scripture: True Ancestor Charlotte de Castel-Chapter 508: -33- The Secret of the Faceless Divine Statue

Fact proved that Charlotte had underestimated the sheer volume of a Legendary Bloodline’s memories.

The moment Albrecht’s Bloodline-related memories flowed into her mind through the crystal ball, she regretted it.

A tidal wave of information swamped her consciousness like an ocean, causing her consciousness to blur and her head to throb in pain.

The sensation was like forcibly cramming a room full of books into a backpack—Charlotte felt as if her little head was about to burst.

It was at this point that Charlotte realized that there was a major flaw in the command she had issued to Albrecht—

She had him imprint all memories related to the Bloodline. But being a Bloodline, how many of his memories were related to the Bloodline?

The answer was virtually all since he became a Bloodline after his First Embrace.

Despite many Bloodlines living alone, they are innately social creatures.

Especially since Albrecht initially was a high-tier member of the Shedite Clan and later became a Dark Apostle, his every action significantly impacted the activities of both the Shedite and the Blood Demon Church.

Just like an old saying from the Heavenly Dynasty, "nothing around the emperor is trivial." Although Albrecht was not an emperor, being an absolute upper echelon among the Bloodlines, his mundane day-to-day activities were closely tied to the Bloodline.

In other words, all his memories over the past two thousand years broadly met Charlotte’s criteria for imprinting.

Perhaps Charlotte essentially wanted to acquire knowledge and secrets about the Bloodlines, but Albrecht was not privy to what she wanted.

Charlotte couldn’t specify which information she needed, so for Albrecht, who always acted cautiously as a Bloodline, it naturally seemed safer to imprint all memories he had related to the Bloodlines.

After all, as a Bloodline, he could not imagine that someone with god-like status, the "True Ancestor," would be overwhelmed by vast memories.

That was awkward...

Although Charlotte possessed various god-like abilities, her little head was far less capable than those true gods with computational and storage capacities exceeding the supercomputers of her former life.

Even excluding Albrecht’s long periods of slumber, the imprinted memories still constituted a massive amount of information.

This vast surge of memories attacked Charlotte’s consciousness, and another troubling issue emerged.

Memories are carriers of self-awareness...

As Albrecht’s thousands of years of memories flooded into Charlotte’s consciousness, her combined memories of less than thirty years from both her lives naturally became like a frail boat swaying in the storm.

When a large bucket of water mixes with a small cup of juice, it’s not the juice that gets diluted; it’s akin to just adding some juice to water.

That was exactly how Charlotte felt.

Under the assault of memories, her self-awareness also suffered, and the memories belonging to Albrecht swiftly overpowered those belonging to Charlotte.

She felt as if she became a demon who had received the First Embrace and became a Bloodline, following the Legendary Bloodline figures in battles from the south to the north, witnessing the rise and fall of the Bloodlines...

No.

She was indeed a Demon Bloodline; her name wasn’t Charlotte, her name was Albrecht...

Charlotte’s expression was dazed, her consciousness beginning to blur.

At that moment, the Blood Holy Scripture she had deliberately materialized in her hand suddenly blossomed with a crimson radiance.

The radiance spread continuously, enveloping Charlotte’s body while at the same time, the golden-red flame burning in her heart grew brighter.

As the flames burned, Charlotte’s muddled consciousness gradually returned to clarity. Her own memories swiftly strengthened, repressing the intrusive memories from outside.

Charlotte quickly regained her sense of self.

She was slightly surprised, coming to her senses, and looking at the memory crystal in her hand, a hint of fear showing on her face.

She was so close to "becoming" Albrecht! fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Luckily...

Fortunately, she was worried about accidents and had activated the Blood Holy Scripture from the start; relying on its protection of the soul, she maintained her last line of defense!

"Albrecht’s memories are too numerous; it seems... they can’t be absorbed like memories used to be," she murmured quietly to herself.

Albrecht’s memories could not be absorbed through conventional means.

So... she could only try another method of storage.

Recalling how she handled the prayers of her followers after having them previously, Charlotte closed her eyes and connected with the Blood Holy Scripture again.

Golden-red radiance burst forth, Charlotte’s hair quickly grew longer, and her frame grew taller; within moments, she once again assumed the majestic, dominating adult form.

"Sensing... separation."

Charlotte pronounced calmly.

Blood Divine Power bloomed, spreading around her, and subsequently enveloped Albrecht’s Memory Crystal.

At the same time, the "Divine Fire" within Charlotte’s heart burned even more fiercely.

Charlotte manipulated the divine power, enveloping Albrecht’s vast memory, and further strengthened her own perception.

Under the influence of the divine power, her already superior spiritual power erupted further, subtly surpassing Albrecht’s memory for a moment.

Charlotte further stimulated the divine power, "viewing" Albrecht’s memory. In her "field of vision," Albrecht’s memories transformed into a gigantic orb composed of various colors.

These represented memories of different emotions, situations, and times under the perception of divine power.

With divine power enhancing her, Charlotte’s computational ability skyrocketed. She controlled the divine power, segmenting and compressing Albrecht’s memories by color.

Like zip files in a computer, Charlotte categorized Albrecht’s abundant memories and compressed them into "file packets."

Before long, the massive memories had transformed into small orbs of light.

Comparatively, it was as if Charlotte had organized Albrecht’s memory—which was comparable to a room full of files—into neatly titled books.

With a thought from Charlotte, the orbs entered her consciousness but did not merge with her memories; instead, they were placed deep within the ocean of her consciousness.

This was archiving.

Meanwhile, new changes took place in the Dark Night Ancient Castle...

On one side of the castle’s great hall, a crimson radiance swiftly spread and gradually formed a new grand door.

The door swung open, and inside was a vast space like a library, with shelves full of various books.

This was the physical manifestation of Albrecht’s memories within the Dark Night Ancient Castle.

At this moment, his memories, in the form of a "library," were stored in Charlotte’s spiritual world.

The glow on the Crystal Ball gradually dimmed and eventually shattered into dissipating photons.

Feeling her slightly swollen spiritual power, Charlotte exhaled softly,

"Finally... it’s done."

Albrecht’s memories were successfully absorbed.

However, they were not recorded directly into her mind, but existed deep in her consciousness.

Only when Charlotte wanted to access certain information would she retrieve it from deep within her consciousness, "unzipping" it from its compressed state, and then "reading" it.

Thinking this, Charlotte attempted to "access" the information about the Faceless Divine Statue, and as her heart desired, a book from a shelf in the "library" flew towards her.

She reached out, took it gently, and as she flipped through the pages, Albrecht’s memories concerning the "Faceless Divine Statue" also surfaced in Charlotte’s mind:

Faceless Divine Statue.

The mysterious divine statue left by the Blood True Ancestor before his disappearance, temples were even specially constructed to house these statues, buried across the Mireya Continent.

No one knew the Blood True Ancestor’s purpose for creating the Faceless Divine Statues. All these statues contained the Blood True Ancestor’s divine power but could neither absorb nor utilize power actively.

Among the Bloodline, there were many speculations, the most accepted being that the Faceless Divine Statues were related to the return of the True Ancestor, serving as a fallback plan he left behind. For centuries, to prevent the return of the Ancestor, various clans of the Bloodline had been searching for the Faceless Divine Statues.

The Blood Demon Duke was the only God capable of actively manipulating the divine power within the Faceless Divine Statues, and the Blood Demon Cultists had also acquired similar powers. They could use the power of the Faceless Divine Statues for themselves and thus ignore the curses of the curse pages, allowing ordinary Bloodline members to also use the power of the curse pages.

Albrecht once heard the Dark Prince Balov mention that the Faceless Divine Statues hid the secrets of God Ascension, capable of helping Bloodline members with special bloodlines to ascend to godhood and become new myths.

"Help Bloodline members with special bloodlines to ascend to godhood?"

Charlotte’s heart skipped a beat.

After a brief contemplation, she then mentally accessed the "detailed information on the Ancient Hall and Faceless Divine Statues."

Quickly, another book flew off the "library’s" shelf and into her hands.

Charlotte took it, delved into her consciousness, and immediately received new information:

To date, thirteen Ancient Halls have been discovered across the Mireya Continent, nine of which are commonly known, while four remain hidden by the Bloodline. Among them are one on Moon God Island, one in Falling Star Kingdom, three in New Moon Kingdom, one in Northern Territory Duchy, two in West Yonette Empire, one in Coria Kingdom, one in Church Authority Country, two in Eastern Yonette Black Land, and one in Dragon Ridge Mountain Range.

Theoretically, there were initially twenty-two Faceless Divine Statues, most of which have either disappeared or been destroyed.

Currently, excluding those explicitly destroyed, there are still six statues whose whereabouts are known:

One is sealed by the Holy Royal Court in Church Authority Country, one is in possession of the Coria Royal Family, one was fashioned into a Divine Artifact by the Nais Clan, one lost in the deepest part of the Black Land in Eastern Yonette, and another, which disappeared hundreds of years ago alongside the legendary human Mage Nicholas de Valva.

Charlotte: ...
