Gospel of Blood-Chapter 571 : Now is not the time.

Charlotte felt like she was about to burst.

An immense “power of faith” surged towards her from all directions, rapidly absorbed by the divine flame in her chest, which in turn quickly amplified her divine power.

The divine power consumed by her active time travel was replenished almost instantly, overflowing with an endless supply of divine power.

But this was not the end. In Charlotte’s perception, she felt like a bowl dropped into the ocean, surrounded by a sea of “power of faith.”

And that “power of faith” continued to pour into her, transformed and absorbed by the divine flame.

No…

Describing it as “power of faith” was not entirely accurate.

More precisely, it was the “extraordinary power” absorbed from believers by God’s faith network.

Charlotte was quite shocked.

If she hadn’t confirmed through the magic recording stone she left by her coffin before falling asleep that she had indeed slept for “three and a half years”, she would have doubted if she had slept for three hundred years.

Otherwise, how could the faith network she built for the Nightshade Cult have accumulated such a vast amount of “extraordinary power”?

No…

Even if she had slept for three hundred years, it would be difficult to amass such a colossal amount of energy, right?

Charlotte could sense just how enormous the energy she had connected to was.

Compared to her own power, her strength was like a small pond in front of the ocean of “extraordinary power.”

“This shouldn’t be the extraordinary power accumulated by the Nightshade Cult over the past three and a half years.”

Charlotte quickly made this judgment.

Fortunately, her power level was ultimately higher than this “extraordinary power”, and as a mythological being, she had long since learned how to control such power.

The divine flame trembled slightly, and Charlotte swiftly closed the channel converting extraordinary power to divine power, finally halting the influx of the omnipresent

extraordinary power.

At this point, Charlotte had the energy to investigate what was going on.

She spread out her divine sense, following the vast extraordinary power, and soon realized that she had likely connected to the faith network of another God.

The reason was simple: through the extraordinary power, Charlotte “saw” countless spots of light.

Those represented the believers.

Charlotte was once again astonished.

This time, by the sheer number of those spots of light.

They were countless, endless, and compared to her own believers, it was like comparing starlight to the sunlight.

It was a believer count that could be measured in “billions.”

The Gospel of Blood in the depths of her consciousness trembled incessantly, and the origin mist within her divine flame surged continuously.

Countless prayers from all directions poured into Charlotte’s mind.

“Praise the divine! May next year be another bountiful harvest.”

“Great Lord, may your light protect your humble servant.”

“Oh Lord! Almighty Creator God! Your lamb, your sinner, seeks your forgiveness…”

“….”

Charlotte: …

Her eyes widened, full of incredulity.

Goodness…

She had connected to the faith network of the Holy Court!

“Could this be a chain reaction from absorbing Harald’s holy power when I saved him?”

Charlotte’s expression was somewhat peculiar.

All myths that create a faith path weave a faith network, granting power to believers through the network and absorbing the believers’ distributed extraordinary power as they grow.

The Holy Court was no exception.

Moreover, as Charlotte knew, the faith network of the Holy Court was even larger than that of ordinary Gods because it was a shared network of an entire pantheon.

However, as Charlotte was marveling at her accidental connection to the Holy Court’s faith network, she also felt the rapid consumption of the origin mist she had accumulated.

Charlotte quickly realized that this connection was also related to the accumulated origin mist.

“Wait… this might be an opportunity. Since I accidentally connected to the Holy Court’s faith network, perhaps I can take this chance to investigate Harald and the other Gods of the Holy Court.”

Charlotte thought.

It was a bold idea, one that Charlotte would never have dared to consider before, as it could easily be detected by the Gods within the faith network and seen as an intrusion.

But now, she had a secret weapon that could deceive even the heavens.

Charlotte delved into her consciousness, releasing the remaining origin mist from her divine flame.

The mist enveloped Charlotte’s divine power, quickly radiating a holy brilliance.

This was another use of the origin mist that Charlotte had explored during her three and a half years of time travel.

As a power produced by the fusion of holy power and blood divine power, she could make the origin mist exhibit the characteristics of both.

Although this did not change the essence of the origin mist, it allowed for a certain degree of disguise.

In other words, at this moment, Charlotte could use the origin mist to conceal her blood divine power, wrapping it as holy power for a stealthy investigation.

Charlotte was quite curious about Harald’s current state. After all, in the history she “created”, he had become her disciple.

She didn’t know how long this accidental connection would last, but it was certainly not a normal link.

So, using this connection to gather more information about the Gods of the Holy Court was the best course of action.

Following the omnipresent “power of faith”, Charlotte traced back to the end of the faith network and quickly found the direction.

In her perception, the vast faith network’s node was located above the entire world.

Charlotte followed the flow of extraordinary power, her vision rising steadily. Soon, she saw plains, mountains, rivers, the entire world of Myria, and the stars above Myria.

She saw the end of the faith network—a golden star, shining brilliantly, enveloped by immense holy power.

Upon that star, countless beings seemed to be praying, and there were numerous temples bathed in holy light.

Charlotte was momentarily stunned, quickly recalling that this was not the first time she had seen this scene.

Back when she ascended to the Starry Sky tier, she had once accidentally entered a similar “divine realm”, and now… she was here again.

Indeed, the endpoint of the Holy Court’s faith network, the divine realm, was the world she had “seen” during her ascension!

Realizing this, Charlotte soon saw the tall hall guarded by numerous temples, the majestic platinum throne within the hall, and the giant of light sitting on the throne, who had once had a one-sided conversation with her.

But this time, Charlotte clearly saw the appearance of the “giant of light.”

It was not a true “giant”, but a radiant scepter.

The scepter was golden, intricately carved with patterns and the ringed cross symbol of the Holy Court, incredibly ornate and holy.

It lay on the throne, radiating dazzling light, enveloping the entire star, seemingly guarding the whole world.

Charlotte quickly realized that this was likely a wisdom artifact.

Previously, when she “peeked” into this place during her ascension and was “warned”, it was probably not by a God but by this artifact.

However, the artifact no longer felt as terrifying to Charlotte as it had before. In her perception, its strength was only at the peak Demigod level.

It wasn’t that the artifact had weakened but that Charlotte had grown stronger.

Behind the scepter and the throne, there was a golden door tightly shut.

The door was surrounded by layers of golden chains, inscribed with golden runes, exuding a sacred and ancient aura.

Charlotte saw the scepter and the door.

At the same time, the artifact sensed Charlotte’s power.

Golden light gathered on the throne.

Charlotte saw the scepter slowly rise, then gradually transform into a phantom human figure.

It was a middle-aged man in ornate robes.

However, when Charlotte saw his appearance, she was momentarily stunned.

It was because, despite the change in attire and aura, his appearance had not changed much.

That middle-aged man was none other than Hafdan, the hunter who had “picked” her up when she first traveled through history, Harald and Lilith’s father.

No…

More accurately, it was the artifact’s spirit, shaped in the likeness of Hafdan.

Confirmed!

The Creator God Harald must indeed be her disciple Harald from after her time travel!

There was no more doubt for Charlotte!

The sacred light spread and Charlotte saw the artifact, now in human form, bow respectfully towards her.

Its demeanor was extremely reverent, and its voice was respectful and courteous.

“Your Excellency…”

“The Day of Judgment has not yet arrived, my Lord has not yet awakened, you… have come too early.”

Day of Judgment?

Charlotte was momentarily stunned.

She was about to say something when she felt a sudden repulsion from the surrounding holy power.

The entire world receded rapidly, and Charlotte felt her connection to the faith network begin to fade quickly.

She abruptly woke up, having returned to reality, and the omnipresent “power of faith” had disappeared.

No, it hadn’t completely disappeared. In the depths of her consciousness, above the Gospel of Blood, Charlotte saw a golden symbol.

It was a constantly rotating ringed cross, the symbol of the Holy Court. Through that symbol, Charlotte could faintly sense the presence of the “power of faith.”

At this moment, Charlotte sensed a familiar aura rapidly approaching, accompanied by an excited voice echoing in her mind.

“Lady Charlotte! Great Lady Charlotte! Great True Ancestor, my Lord, is it you? Have you awakened?!”

It was the black cat, Nice.
