Blood Holy Scripture: True Ancestor Charlotte de Castel-Chapter 540: -50- Holy Presence Day
Chapter 540: -50- Holy Presence Day
The Holy Presence Day was the day when the boundary between the mortal world and mythology completely shattered, when the sleeping gods fully awoke.
Exactly when the Holy Presence Day would come, even Albrecht’s memory did not contain specific records.
In the memories Charlotte had accessed, it was merely mentioned that the Blood Demon Church had once received an oracle seventeen years ago about the imminent arrival of the Holy Presence Day.
The conception of time held by divine beings was very vague; perhaps a single thought or slumber spanned what mortals measured in years.
It was for this reason that the prophecies within divine oracles often lacked specific timings.
However, no matter what, since even the prophecies in the oracles were "imminent," even if the timing was late, according to the internal experience of the Blood Demon Church, the actual date probably wasn’t far off.
Nevertheless, although Albrecht’s memory did not contain records about the specific timing of the Holy Presence Day, it did contain descriptions related to the Holy Presence Day.
When the splendor of the sun waned, when the Blood Moon became eternal, when the world fell once more into profound darkness, the moment the divine light replaced the light again... That would be when the Holy Presence Day had officially arrived...
"The sun’s splendor waning..." Charlotte muttered to herself thoughtfully as she read Albrecht’s memories.
She had seen this kind of description before.
That was back when she was still in Bold City, after being offered up by her cheap grandmother and getting injured, she stayed at the Church Hospital.
During that time, she devoured various books available in the Church Hospital, trying her best to understand the world of Mireya, and in those days, she also saw the description of "the sun’s wane, the Blood Moon eternal" in other books.
It was the core scripture of the Holy Royal Court, the descriptions in the "Holy Book."
To be more precise, the "Holy Book" depicted the resurgence of the Divine Lord, the Divine Descent of gods, and the suppression of the Bloodline as mythological legends...
In the legends of the Holy Royal Court, about fifteen hundred thousand years ago, the Blood Ancestor who aspired to eternal dominion over the world launched even by the standards of myths considered a taboo Dark Divine Art "Eternal Darkness," aiming to devour the sun and create an eternal Blood Moon and night.
According to the legends, the Blood True Ancestor was successful.
The sun, which scattered light across the land, was gradually devoured by darkness, and the world faced an era of eternal darkness and cold.
The Silver Moon transformed into the Blood Moon, suspended high in the sky, and the whole world was enveloped in dark red.
However, just when humanity fell into despair, the Creator God awakened, radiance pierced the sky, and the light belonging to the Divine Lord replaced the sun.
The Divine Lord... created a second sun.
The day that Divine Lord Haral created the second sun was also considered the starting point of the Holy Calendar, or the crossover point of the Holy Era and the Blood Moon Era.
Recalling the various descriptions of the Divine Lord Haral’s resurgence and salvation in the "Holy Book," Charlotte couldn’t help but look out the window.
To be more precise, she looked towards the shining sun in the sky.
Yes, the second sun.
According to the records in the "Holy Book," the first sun of the Mireya world had already been devoured by the Blood True Ancestor, and the one now hanging high was the second sun created by Divine Lord Haral.
Charlotte had always thought that the various legends about the Creator God in the "Holy Book" were surely exaggerated and mythologized. The True Ancestor devouring the sun and the Divine Lord recreating the light seemed to her probably more a work of artistic embellishment.
Based on her various tests since her crossover more than a year ago, even though this world had gods and magic, incredible powers, and various strange different spaces and planes, fundamentally speaking, this world should still be a planet.
Since this world was a planet, then the sun was naturally a star.
While the gods of this world were indeed powerful, to be honest, Charlotte did not think they could truly compare to a star.
At best, they were merely powerful beings possessing transcendental powers far surpassing those of mortals.
For example, she herself, having merged with the Faceless Divine Statue, already counted as a demigod; a demigod who was already a part of myth, and after her True Ancestor Liberation, she even possessed the combat power of a "Saint."
But even with the power of a "Saint," let alone devouring the sun, she probably couldn’t even destroy an entire continent.
At most, she could rely on brute force to obliterate the civilization across the entire continent.
But that too, would have been under the precondition that no mythical entities interfered and that considerable time was spent.
As for devouring the sun?
Charlotte really couldn’t imagine it.
If a True God could do it, then a demigod wouldn’t be worthy of the title of myth.
In her view, the so-called "devouring the sun" was more likely a matter of using some magic to "obscure sunlight."
As for the Blood Moon, that indeed might be related to the True Ancestor.
It wasn’t the Blood Moon that materialized in Charlotte’s spiritual world.
It was the real Blood Moon.
In fact, even to this day, the people of the Mireya Continent occasionally witnessed the Blood Moon.
And every time the Blood Moon appeared, it signified a short-term surge in magic density and high activity of elemental powers.
When the Blood Moon emerged, it was the most exciting time for mages, although the restlessness of magic during the Blood Moon made it easy to go berserk, it also allowed spellcasters to better resonate with magic and elements.
Charlotte was no exception.
When she had just crossed over, she had already experienced a Blood Moon, and now, having crossed over for two years, she had already seen the Blood Moon for a total of twenty-four times.
