The platinum Holy Power rippled through the Divine Hall, illuminating every corner, and also shining upon those shattered Divine Statues like tombstones.

Facing these lifeless cracked sculptures, the Guardian's Staff widened its eyes, filled with horror.

"Impossible! This... impossible...!"

It muttered to itself in a state of panic, seemingly left with only this sentence.

Charlotte's expression was equally grave.

The Eternal Realm is the resting place of the gods of the Holy Royal Court, and these statues here... not only represent the statues of deities but also the deities themselves.

The Divine Statues are cracked and dim... such a scene means only one thing—

The gods of the Holy Royal Court have long since fallen!

Glancing over the cracked statues, Charlotte took a deep breath and began to move.

She came before these statues, reaching out to touch them one by one, feeling their power, but of course... there was no response.

In her perception, these statues had already become the most ordinary stones.

This included even the Contract God Mitra, who was formally incorporated into the Holy Royal Court only a few hundred years ago, according to the Church's texts.

In other words, the gods slumbering in the Eternal Realm likely fell several hundred years ago.

"Guardian's Staff, you are the Wisdom Divine Artifact of the Holy Royal Court and hold the authority over the Faith Network. Do you not know what has happened to the gods of the court over these hundreds of years?"

Charlotte asked.

The Guardian's Staff was dazed, taking a long time to react.

It looked bewildered and shook its head helplessly:

"I... I don't know...!"

"I have never felt any change in the Holy Power, nor has there ever been an issue with the operation of my Lord's Faith Network!"

"Even the divine statues outside... although the number of believers for sub-gods has been far fewer in recent years, they still manage to receive responses of Holy Power through prayers..."

"But... how can this be? The statues in the Eternal Realm are already shattered... this is impossible... this shouldn't be...!"

Watching the Guardian's Staff seemingly experiencing the collapse of its worldview, Charlotte continued to ask:

"In the previous life, did you not ultimately come here?"

"Previous... previous life..."

The Guardian's Staff appeared somewhat bewildered.

Its expression shifted, seemingly struggling with something. After a long time, it trembled and said:

"I... I can't remember clearly..."

"I only recall that we did open the Eternal Realm and tried to awaken my Lord, but the events afterwards... I seem to have forgotten..."

Upon saying this, its expression became fearful:

"This... this is the power of correction... it must be the power of correction!"

"It's history self-correcting! It's the world converging towards an ending! True Ancestor, we might have started to touch the red line of reshaping history, causing the world's backlash!"

The convergence of world lines...?

Charlotte frowned slightly.

She understood the meaning of the Guardian's Staff.

The Eternal Realm is the resting place of the gods of the Holy Royal Court, and for millennia it has never had any issues, not to mention the Guardian's Staff, as the semi-manager of the Faith Network, had never sensed an issue with the faith of the gods.

Yet now as Charlotte, who has become the True God, enters the Eternal Realm guided by the Guardian's Staff, the statues of the gods have long been shattered, leaving the Guardian's Staff to attribute all that is happening to the convergence of world lines—

Charlotte's growth in this life was too rapid, triggering the correction of the world line, making everything return to its path, with the "world's power" directly turning the "slumbering" gods into "eternally sleeping" gods.

But Charlotte didn't agree with this.

She had seen Lilith's repeated reincarnations in the gaps of history, and naturally understood the "historical inertia."

But if one only uses "historical inertia" to explain, it cannot account for all that is happening before their eyes.

Historical events that have occurred cannot be changed.

If the gods in the Eternal Realm of this life have long since fallen, it only means one thing—in past reincarnations, during this time on other world lines, the gods of the royal court in the Eternal Realm... had also long since fallen.

It's not that the "world line is converging," but rather that they are just now truly seeing the hidden "world line."

Thinking of this, Charlotte shook her head and said:

"No, this is not the convergence of the world line."

"Rather... we have only just flipped open the hidden 'new' history."

The Guardian's Staff was slightly taken aback but quickly grasped Charlotte's meaning.

Its expression was unsettled, unable to help saying:

"You... you mean to say that the gods had actually fallen long ago?"

"But... this is impossible! My Lord's Faith Network has never had issues, and the gods' faith is still operating normally... if the gods fell, I... I couldn't possibly not know!"

Charlotte glanced at it:

"But you haven't remained conscious throughout this millennium, have you?"

The Guardian's Staff paused.

Charlotte looked once more towards the Divine Hall and continued:

"We haven't 'forgotten' the existence of these deities; their faith still operates, still gathering faith power for the Holy Royal Court, indicating that the direction of faith still exists."

"However, the divine statues representing the existence of gods have already been destroyed."

Saying this, Charlotte looked at the Guardian's Staff, her expression unreadable:

"This means only one thing—"

"That is, the gods didn't simply 'fall' but rather... were 'devoured.'"

"They fell, but all that belonged to them was taken away, and the existence that seized their power naturally inherited their position and faith..."

"In this world, the existence capable of silently devouring the gods of the Royal Court and seizing their positions... there is, and likely only one."

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the Guardian's Staff widened suddenly, and it lifted its head abruptly.

This time, its gaze fell upon the location of the former Creator God's divine statue, and its entire body began to tremble:

"No... impossible! This is impossible!"

Charlotte's gaze also fell there.

She slowly walked past many divine statues, arriving at the forefront of the Divine Hall.

Bending down, Charlotte gently picked up the Ring Cross Holy Emblem, broken into two, from the ground.

As the Holy Emblem entered her hand, a familiar power surged into Charlotte's palm, causing her body to quiver slightly.

With a hint of uncertainty, Charlotte looked at the Ring Cross Holy Emblem in her hand, but soon she withdrew her expression.

Exhaling lightly, she put away the Holy Emblem and shook her head:

"Nothing is impossible."

"The Divine Lord's statue disappeared, but the Holy Power remains. It's just that... the Holy Emblem belonging to the Divine Lord has shattered."

"Guardian's Staff, if I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid my 'apprentice,' your 'Main God' that you follow, awoke many years ago."

"Of course, as for whether He is still the original 'Him,' that remains unknown."

...

Charlotte and the Guardian's Staff did not linger long in the Eternal Realm.

This was the resting place of the Royal Court's gods, and now... it truly became the graveyard of the gods.

Though still filled with Holy Power, this different space was, in essence, no different from a dead land.

Back in the real world, the Guardian's Staff became taciturn; evidently... the truth of the Eternal Realm had struck it deeply.

Charlotte observed secretly, feeling that it was not an act, but it genuinely hadn't expected the resting place of the gods to appear as such.

"Your Majesty the True Ancestor, if my lord has already awakened, if my lord has already... fallen, then where is He at this moment?"

After a long silence, the Guardian's Staff couldn't help but ask.

Charlotte shook her head:

"I don't know."

"However, since you can still use Holy Power, and even I can access the Holy Network, it at least shows that things haven't reached the worst-case scenario."

"If, indeed, as I suspect, He has already awakened, then... by sensing the Holy Power, we can still find Him."

At this point, Charlotte couldn't help but sigh slightly.

The development of events had somewhat exceeded her expectations.

The gods of the Royal Court had fallen, but the divine statue representing the Creator God was missing. All this indicated that there was a significant possibility that the gods of the Holy Royal Court were indeed devoured by the Creator God.

To "devour" the sub-gods was not something the Haral in Charlotte's impression could have done, and in combination with the broken Ring Cross Holy Emblem, in the worst-case scenario... perhaps the will of the Creator God had already awakened within Haral.

If this is true, then where is Haral...?

"It seems... only after thoroughly perfecting the Blood Holy Scripture, using the power of the bloodline to locate him."

Charlotte murmured.

Haral is her Descendant of Blood.

Even if Haral becomes a True God, this fact will never change.

In the past, Charlotte had never felt a bloodline connection with Haral in this era, but the moment she picked up the broken Ring Cross Holy Emblem, she vaguely sensed it again.

Charlotte didn't know if it was a clue deliberately left by Haral, but she indeed sensed a familiar power from the fragmented Holy Emblem—the bloodline power she granted Haral.

However, perhaps because of the long passage of time, or perhaps because Charlotte's power wasn't strong enough, that sensing was still very faint.

In order to further strengthen it and finally use the power of the bloodline to locate the other party, it may only be possible through the thorough perfection of the Blood Holy Scripture, utilizing the power of the Blood Holy Scripture in its complete state.

"Let's go. Next, it's time to visit the Vadret and Salem clans."

Charlotte said.

As her words ended, with a flash of crimson light, her figure vanished from the spot, and the entrance to the Eternal Realm slowly closed, gradually disappearing as if it had never existed.
