Blood Holy Scripture: True Ancestor Charlotte de Castel-Chapter 541: -50- Holy Presence Day_2

Indeed, twenty-four times.

In the world of Mireya, a Blood Moon appeared every month, each lasting from a few minutes to several tens of minutes before disappearing.

When the Blood Moon emerged, Charlotte could also feel a significant enhancement of her own power; under the light of the Blood Moon, her power could even double again, reaching four times what it was during the day!

At the same time, under the Blood Moon, she could fully feel the throbbing deep within her bloodline, as if the power in her veins was resonating with the Blood Moon in the sky, desperately calling out...

Combining the information she had read from Albrecht’s memories in the past two days, Charlotte had some other speculations.

Could it be that today’s monthly Blood Moon is also a remnant of the True Ancestor’s power from fifteen hundred years ago?

Then, does this Holy Presence Day signify that the sunlight will be obscured once more?

Is it the return of the gods...

Or is it the return of the true Blood True Ancestor?

Inexplicably, Charlotte felt somewhat uneasy.

The prophecy of Holy Presence Day was too vague; even in Albrecht’s memories, the information was very limited.

The only certainty was that the sleeping gods also seemed to be waiting for this day.

No matter who the real Blood True Ancestor was in history, what Charlotte could confirm now was that the current "True Ancestor" position was occupied by herself.

This was her realization after successfully integrating with the Faceless Divine Statue and confirming her current true status.

Even if the real Blood True Ancestor was someone else, upon their return, they could only compete with her for the position.

And whether it was the real True Ancestor returning or the gods returning, for her at present, it was either a great threat or variable.

No, actually not just for her, it was the same for many forces in Mireya.

So it was for the Nais Clan, so it was for the New Moon Kingdom, and even the Holy Royal Court was the same.

Some forces anticipated the return of their own gods, but others did not want to see the resurgence of the gods.

But whatever the force, they were all simultaneously enhancing their power.

Thinking of this, Charlotte sighed lightly.

She felt her growth rate was still too slow.

All along, Charlotte had been cautious; even though she had become the "Blood True Ancestor," she had not widely spread her faith, nor had she extensively recruited or created Bloodline members.

Charlotte was very cautious; unlike the Blood Demon Church, which could afford to be reckless as they were desperate—despised by many and freely developing forces since only the Holy Royal Court truly held them accountable, other Bloodline members simply ignored them more in disdain than enmity.

But she had numerous concerns.

She was not just the "True Ancestor," but also a noble, a ruler of the Northern Land; the Blood Demon Church could be discovered countless times, be destroyed countless times, but they had hideouts as numerous as rats in sewers, able to rise again and again.

But Charlotte was different.

If her identity were exposed, the Northern Land would face a devastating blow, a blow that would come not just from the Holy Royal Court but also from other Bloodline clans.

Once everything about her was exposed, she would end up in a situation similar to, if not harder than, that of the Blood Demon Church.

Even though her bloodline was purer, she would have more enemies, potentially to the extent of facing universal hostility.

Charlotte was not insane; she enjoyed her current life and did not want to end up like the rats of the Blood Demon Church.

Thus, Charlotte had always proceeded with extreme caution.

Her original plan was to gradually expand her secular power, at least to the point where she could face other forces without fear in the secular world, and then to covertly accumulate power, subtly infiltrating and influencing other Bloodline clans.

This plan was not wrong per se, but Charlotte’s progress had been very slow.

Perhaps because Bloodline members possessed endless lifespans.

With no limitation on lifespan, there was no urgency with time.

Although Charlotte felt pressured, the pressure had never reached the level where she needed to give her all, so her approach had always been to proceed as the opportunity presented itself.

Even, compared to her identity as the Blood True Ancestor, she focused more on her identity as Count Castel, which meant she also spent more time engaging with other nobles.

Perhaps it was also because she had not yet found a way to step into mythology or understood the role of developing faith.

Now, considering these things, she realized she had put too much effort into unnecessary matters.

"I need to quicken the pace now, in the secular aspects, further consolidate the rule of the Northern Land, develop the power of the secular domain, use the Northern Land as a base to quickly develop my own faith, and enhance my mythical power."

"At the same time, I must also intensify infiltration within the Bloodline clan, win over those Bloodline members who can be won over, secure my True Ancestor identity, and stabilize my ’True Ancestor’ position!"

Charlotte murmured to herself.

Learning of the news of Holy Presence Day, Charlotte’s mood also became urgent.

Originally, due to the swift conclusion of the central conference, she had planned to stay longer in Lutecia, to enjoy the local culture, visit each of the Great Nobles, indulge in food and drink, and really "tour" the place for a month or two before returning.

But now, she had lost interest in these casual pursuits.

Even the Great Priest of New Moon was reorganizing the Church’s discipline in light of the imminent Holy Presence Day, even though the Holy Royal Court was already powerful enough and would undoubtedly be a major beneficiary of the return of the gods...
