Charlotte once again returned to the peculiar space of the "River of Time."

As she suspected, with continued improvement, the Blood Holy Scripture already possessed the ability to actively cross through time and space at any moment.

After she sank into consciousness and actively triggered the Blood Divine Power, she once again arrived in the "Time Gap" composed of countless mirrors.

This time, unlike the last time she entered here, the place where Charlotte stood had advanced a bit further.

In front of her, there were still broken and dim mirrors extending into the distant future, while behind her, there were more mirrors representing an already happened past.

Charlotte looked over, and those additional mirrors were reflecting the various experiences from the three and a half years she had spent in this time travel.

Among them were leading the Bloodline into battle against the Allied Forces of the Old Gods, drinking and chatting with Oceanus, and eventually the mythical battle in the Dragon Ridge Mountain Range.

Evidently, this time travel of hers indeed "patched" a part of history, and these mirrors were the materialization of the history she had "created" in the River of Time.

Charlotte looked down again, at her hands.

The Blood Holy Scripture, which she had not seen in three and a half years, lay quietly in her hands.

It was no longer that elusive, fleeting sensation, but had materialized solidly in her hands.

At this moment, the Holy Scripture was turned to the last page, where new words were continually flashing —

[Blood Holy Scripture - Beginning Chapter]

[I shall know the darkness of the past,]

[I shall be aware of the light of the future,]

[The Time Bell is beneath my feet,]

[The Book of Time and Space is in my hand.]

[Chapter of Origin ability awakening —]

[Time Retrospection (Active)]

[Time Retrospection: As the core source of Creation, the Blood Holy Scripture awakens the ability for Time Retrospection, allowing consumption of Creation Power to perform time-space retrospection, returning to specific time-space nodes for a certain period of stay.]

"Time Retrospection? Creation Power? Could it be... referring to the pale white fog produced after the fusion of Blood Divine Power and Holy Power?"

Charlotte's heart trembled slightly.

She closed the Blood Holy Scripture and looked at her feet.

There, it was still that familiar illusory clock.

Of course, now Charlotte knew its name — the Time Bell.

Charlotte looked forward, at the end of the endless broken, dim mirrors, the starlit "future" world.

She took a deep breath and then took a step forward.

Blood Divine Power circulated once again, and Charlotte felt her divine power start to deplete swiftly.

With a thought, those pale white mists, temporarily "sealed" by her, replaced the Blood Divine Power, and the depletion of divine power abruptly stopped, supplanted by the spread of the Primordial Fog.

The Primordial Fog began to diminish, and simultaneously, the clock beneath Charlotte's feet began to spin rapidly.

Unlike the last time she came into this world, this time the spinning was not counterclockwise but clockwise.

The surroundings changed rapidly, and one by one, the broken, dim mirrors quickly flew away, while below the Time Bell, Charlotte once again saw the projection of the entire Mireya World.

No, calling it a world projection is somewhat inaccurate; it looked more like viewing the planet Mireya from outside the universe.

The day and night of the planet rotated rapidly, and countless starlights leapt incessantly.

And when Charlotte's uplifted foot fell, she had already arrived at the end of the River of Time.

Charlotte looked back, the history from a thousand years ago had become unattainably distant, and the mirror images after she became the Count of Castel, became the Falling Star Queen once again appeared before her eyes.

However, Charlotte noticed that behind those images, closest to her, a lot of unfamiliar scenes had appeared.

Charlotte's heart moved slightly, realizing that these scenes should be the Time Fragments captured by the "future world" during her "slumber."

In other words, she could more or less confirm what she had been worried about and curious about for these three and a half years — that while she traveled to the past, the reality was still flowing with time.

Charlotte looked at the starting point where she became "Charlotte."

It was further away.

And from that fragment, to the last Time Fragment before the history of crossing that she remembered, the length of the Time Fragments was about the same as that of the newly added fragments.

This made Charlotte's heart stir:

"Each time I traveled before, the time traveled shortened, but each time, the time slept lengthened."

"However, those were passive crossings; this time is active, so the past experience and logic are no longer reliable."

"The number of new images added in the River of Time is not many; their number is about the same as the number of real-world fragments I saw last time I crossed."

"In reality, I have traveled to Mireya for just over three years, so this time, this active crossing meant reality also only moved on by three and a half years."

"Unlike passive crossings, this kind of active crossing suggests that the real-time flow rate should be synchronized with my crossing history!"

Passing her gaze over the Time Fragments one by one, Charlotte quickly reached this conclusion.

"Three and a half years... all right, I was prepared for the worst, thinking I would wake up and it would be over a dozen years later."

Charlotte sighed slightly in relief.

Of course, three and a half years was also a long time; putting aside her "slumber," she and Nisi had only known each other for three and a half years, and now Nisi had played her role for three and a half years; thinking about it... Charlotte did seem a bit worried.

"Better hurry back; it's best not to linger too long in this space."

Charlotte thought.

Taking a deep breath, Charlotte looked at the last mirror.

This represented the "present" mirror, the only time node she could reach when returning to the "future."

The Primordial Fog spread once again, and Charlotte reached out her hand to touch it.

Ripples spread across the mirror, undulating in waves, and Charlotte felt a strange pull drawing her in...

The whole world spun and turned, her vision plunged into darkness, and after an indescribable sense of weightlessness, Charlotte regained her senses.

As consciousness stirred, she slowly opened her eyes.

She awoke in reality.

An obscure wave of energy spread out from Charlotte, causing ripples.

The next moment, Charlotte felt an incredibly vast force of faith coming from all around...

...

Falling Star Kingdom, Falling Star City.

Inside the majestic and solemn Grand Cathedral of the Holy Royal Court, a priest dressed in white was leading more than a dozen believers in prayer.

In the Prayer Hall, the tall divine statue representing Creator God Lord Haral stood at the center, appearing holy and dignified under the sacred light's illumination.

The prayer soon ended, and the believers respectfully saluted the priests before leaving individually, while a few priests on the stage exchanged worried looks:

"Today... weren't there fewer believers coming to pray?"

"Yes, a few less again."

"Must have been absorbed by that Heresy Church, right?"

"Yeah, they're already openly advocating their teachings."

"Is there no news from the Church Authority Country?"

"What good is news? There have been countless edicts warning them over the years, but this is Falling Star, after all!"

"Indeed... After all, behind that Heresy Church is Saintess; she's almost been revered as the deity by those pagans."

"Saintess? Clearly a witch! No, a witch! Fallen willingly, she betrayed her own deity; she will eventually be judged by the Divine Lord!"

"Shh! Silence! This is Falling Star City, be careful of eavesdroppers!"

"What's there to fear? This is a church!"

"But those bloodline dark guards loyal to the Royal Family don't care about that..."

"..."

The conversations between the priests gradually quieted.

They instinctively looked around cautiously, and when their gazes met after scanning around, they quickly emitted a faint sigh of helplessness.

Shaking their heads, they prepared to leave the Prayer Hall, but just as they were about to close the door, brilliant light suddenly exploded within the hall.

The priests were slightly stunned.

They raised their heads and looked towards the source of the light, only to see the divine statue in the center of the hall radiating brilliant light, with platinum holy light dazzlingly bright.

Tiny photons spread around from the statue, warm and scorching, immensely sacred.

They danced continuously, like jubilant little elves, seemingly celebrating something.

The priests widened their eyes instantly:

"This... this is..."

"Divine Miracle! It's a Divine Miracle! It's the Divine Lord's Divine Miracle!"

Among the priests, the one who appeared oldest seemed to recall something, his expression quickly changing as he became gradually excited:

"No... this isn't an ordinary divine miracle."

"Divine light shines, Holy Spirit dances..."

"This is the divine statue revealing its presence... It's the divine statue revealing its presence recorded in the Divine Scripture!"

"Our Holy Royal Court... has a deity awakened!"

"..."

...

In another part of Falling Star City, within a solemn Noble Manor.

Many believers were also praying here.

However, unlike those in white clothing of the Holy Royal Court, everyone here, from priests to believers, was wearing black robes.

"Praise the Dark, praise order!"

"May my Lord's glory end this era of chaos, may my Lord's will reshape this fallen world!"

The fervent prayers were uniform, and the believers reverently worshipped the small and mysterious faceless divine statue at the front.

Suddenly, a deep brilliance bloomed from the statue, and countless fluttering crimson photons spread out.

Witnessing this scene, the priests and believers were slightly stunned, then quickly became excited:

"This is... a Divine Miracle, it's a Divine Miracle!"

"Our Lord has heard our prayers! This must be our Lord hearing our prayers!"

"Praise the Dark! Praise order! Praise the great Dark Night God!"

...

At the same time, in various cities and towns of Mireya.

Whether in the church of the Holy Royal Court, or at the gathering points of the Dark Night Church, all the divine statues showed anomalies.

And in the Royal Palace of Falling Star Kingdom, in the Falling Star Red Palace's Queen's study.

The "little Falling Star Queen" was browsing files languidly when suddenly her spirit lifted, her whole body shuddered and she sat up straight.

"This... this aura is..."

She widened her eyes and looked in a certain direction.

Her expression gradually became excited, and she quickly stood up, rushing out of the study with a whoosh.
