Upon hearing the girl's words, the Bloodline members rose to their feet.

They stood respectfully, still maintaining a posture of worship, and bowed slightly to the girl.

Yet, when their gaze inadvertently swept over the massive serpent corpse beneath the girl, the fervor and reverence in their eyes deepened.

Sacrificial Snake God...

This was one of the numerous Evil Gods of the Northern Border, a presence that could easily rank within the top five in the Old Gods Alliance.

But now, its fate was the same as the other Old Gods over the past three years — fallen by the girl's sword.

'Lord Lilith seems to have grown even stronger.'

Feeling the astounding energy lingering in the serpent corpse, such thoughts arose among the Bloodline members.

"The Evil God has fallen. As per the usual rules, distribute the spoils among yourselves."

'Lilith'... or more precisely, Charlotte, who had nearly become accustomed to the name 'Lilith,' spoke.

With that, she gently withdrew the blood-red longsword from the serpent's head and leapt down from the serpent's body.

Passing by the crowd, Charlotte walked towards the outside of the Divine Hall, and as she passed, all the Bloodline members bowed deeply once more.

"Lord Lilith, won't you absorb the Divine Blood?"

Watching the girl walk out of the Divine Hall, Badak, the Third Legion Commander of the Blood Legion, couldn't help but ask.

Charlotte waved her hand but did not turn back:

"As per the old rules, it's yours. Its blood... is now useless to me."

With that, her figure disappeared from their sight.

The Bloodline warriors exchanged glances, their gaze eventually fixing on the enormous serpent corpse on the altar.

After a few silent seconds, the breathing within the Divine Hall became slightly heavier.

"In this battle, the Fourth Legion contributed the most. According to the Ancestor's decree, our legion should take the largest share."

Yabaton chuckled as he spoke.

Of course, he was quickly met with rebuttals from others:

"Nonsense! It was clearly our First Legion that contributed the most. Weren't the last few Divine Halls all cleared by Lord Haral? Don't think just because Lord Haral isn't here that you can ignore our legion's contributions!"

"No, our Second Legion had the most participants in the battle this time. By headcount, we should get the largest share!"

The Divine Hall was noisy, with warriors from the various Blood Legions almost entirely caught up in the argument.

They refused to yield, their faces flushed from arguing, but everyone's peripheral vision lingered on the altar's most valuable spoils: the corpse of the "Evil God" Serpent of Malice.

The Bloodline's strength comes from their lineage.

And transcendent blood has a deadly allure to the Bloodline.

Powerful transcendent blood not only helps the Bloodline replenish energy but also enhances their potential. Among all transcendent blood, "Divine Blood" undoubtedly ranks at the highest level.

The Bloodline warriors argued incessantly, each hoping to secure as much "Divine Blood" as possible for their own legion.

Until Badak's voice rang out again:

"Enough! What's with the noisy chaos? Didn't you hear what Lord Lilith said before leaving? Follow the 'old rules' and divide according to the number of Divine Halls each legion conquered!"

Hearing Badak's reprimand, the Bloodline warriors from the various legions gradually quieted down.

Even if they weren't third-generation Bloodline members who experienced the Second Awakening, as a seasoned Blood Legion Commander, Badak was still quite respected among the Bloodline warriors.

Of course, being highly trusted by the True Ancestor was also one reason why others respected him.

If Royena, the True Ancestor's personal maid, was considered the Bloodline closest to the True Ancestor, then Badak's status was almost equivalent to the True Ancestor's steward.

In the entire Free City State Alliance, probably only Haral, who apprenticed under the True Ancestor and served as the Alliance's deputy leader, held a higher position than him.

With Badak maintaining order, the atmosphere within the Divine Hall eased.

The warriors from the various Blood Legions eagerly collected "Divine Blood," beginning to divide the spoils...

...

Outside the Divine Hall.

Charlotte, having allocated a portion of her divine sense to monitor the activities of the various legions inside the hall, resumed her focus once order was restored.

Taking a light breath, she looked up at the blood moon hanging high in the sky, her crimson-gold eyes slightly dazed.

This was the longest historical crossing she had experienced so far.

In this era, she had stayed for a full three and a half years.

Initially, she hadn't intended to stay in this era for so long, but perhaps due to the further perfection of the Blood Holy Scripture, or perhaps because she gradually replaced Lilith's identity, this crossing did not result in increasing rejection from the world over time, unlike before.

The Blood Holy Scripture had gained the ability to initiate crossings actively.

So naturally... it also acquired the ability to actively "leave."

However, this active "leaving" came with a "price."

After further exploration of the "River of History," Charlotte discovered that if she "left" this time, the next active crossing would only be possible after the stabilization of the Northern Border.

This wasn't what Charlotte wanted to see; facing the Old Gods of the Northern Border, she could handle them like chopping vegetables because they were almost all demigods, completely suppressed by the Blood Divine Power.

But after the Northern Border was pacified, the Blood True Ancestor faced a true myth.

According to historical progress, at that time, those within the Old Gods who reached the level of True Gods would gradually awaken, and the lucky ones who managed to obtain mythical heritage would also start their Divine Enthronement, while the Blood True Ancestor would officially begin the continental conquest, marking the climax of the Mythical Era.

In other words, if one wants to exploit history's wool, it's only possible through this crossing. However, for the next crossing, Charlotte must reach the level of True God to ensure her safety.

Thus... unknowingly, month after month, year after year, in a daze, three and a half years passed like this.

A full three and a half years, even surpassing Charlotte's time in the afterlife, sometimes creating the illusion that the Mythical Era was her true era.

During these three and a half years, she spent most of her time leading the Bloodline to fight against the Old Gods' Allied Forces, personally slaying more than thirty Old Gods.

In three and a half years, Charlotte gradually became familiar with the identity of "Lilith" and established deep friendships with many Bloodlines of this era.

Especially those princes from the afterlife, even the Blood Demon Duke Yabaton, who in the afterlife was like a rat crossing the street, had bowed to her, becoming her fervent admirer.

Of course, this might not be entirely accurate.

Actually, when she first got to know these princes from the afterlife, Charlotte realized they were completely different from the "betrayers" of the later era.

In this era, each one of them was loyal.

They had different personalities, perhaps with their own little thoughts, and each had their own flaws and bad habits.

But consistently, they held pride in their Bloodline identity and had a fanatic worship and loyalty to the Blood True Ancestor.

If Charlotte hadn't preached in this era, each of these princes from the afterlife might have become her fanatics.

This even led Charlotte to speculate, perhaps... the "betrayal" of various princes in the afterlife contained mysteries she wasn't aware of.

Nevertheless, she found these Bloodlines quite endearing; even those who became her enemies in the afterlife were still her loyal followers in this era.

Sometimes, Charlotte truly wanted to find a way to change the future, hoping that in the era of the afterlife, she wouldn't become enemies with the various princes.

But unfortunately, past events cannot be changed.

She didn't know what happened afterward; all she could do was treat these princes from the afterlife well in this time and space, hoping to leave some "influence."

However... three and a half years are about the limit.

Not only for Charlotte herself, but her time "asleep" in the afterlife has also been too long.

Retracting her gaze from the night sky, Charlotte delved into her own consciousness.

In her chest, the blazing Divine Fire burned fiercely, and amidst the Divine Fire, a faintly discernible illusory crystal began to form.

The crystal flickered into view, not yet materialized, and vaguely revealed thorny rose patterns.

This was Charlotte's yet-to-condense Divine Position.

During these three and a half years, Charlotte had slain no less than thirty demigods, seizing countless Divine Power.

The quantity of Blood Divine Power within her had long since changed dramatically; if at the time when she first crossed over the Divine Power's capacity was like a bucket, it had now transformed into a big tank, with the amount of Divine Power dozens of times greater.

However, it had reached its limit.

Half a year ago, Charlotte discovered that continuing to absorb other demigods' Divine Power could no longer increase her Divine Power.

She had reached the bottleneck of a demigod, and to further enhance her power, she must ascend to "True God."

Charlotte had attempted "Divine Enthronement" multiple times but had never found the knack for it; she felt she was missing something, unable to take that step.

Over this half a year, she continued sweeping through the remnants of the Old Gods Alliance, while seeking the path to Divine Enthronement, only to find herself almost conquering the entire Northern Border as the months elapsed without finding a way.

And by this time, she had a faint suspicion; perhaps... the reason she couldn't ascend to Divine Enthronement was because she didn't truly belong to this era.

In this era, she essentially remained an "unregistered resident," borrowing the identity of "Lilith" to stay for a long time.

Maybe... she can only return to her own era to continue her next step, to find the opportunity for "Divine Enthronement."

Thinking of this, Charlotte looked towards the Blood Holy Scripture in the depths of her consciousness.

In three and a half years, the Blood Holy Scripture had transitioned from an initial blur to become as clear as in the afterlife.

Moreover, the thickness of the Scripture had almost doubled, with many mythical-level magics added.

Charlotte could chase and slaughter the Old Gods like cutting vegetables, not only due to the suppression of Blood Divine Power but also with significant help from various mythical magics recorded in the Blood Holy Scripture.

However, like Charlotte's power, the recovery of the Blood Holy Scripture had also reached its limit, as if it had encountered the same kind of bottleneck.

"It seems... once the Old Gods Alliance is dealt with, I should leave this era."

Charlotte murmured to herself.

A loud dragon's roar echoed, capturing Charlotte's attention.

With a slight movement in her heart, she looked up to see a Two-legged Flying Dragon descending from the sky.

A figure clad in silver armor leapt from the dragon's back, landing in front of Charlotte.

It was none other than Haral, who went to track the movements of the Old Gods.

He knelt on one knee, saluted Charlotte, and respectfully said:

"Teacher, there's news about the Sun Divine Palace you've asked me to investigate."
