The events she experienced during her first two crossings, the actions she took as the "Savior," had all become deeds done by "Lilith" in the memory of others.

As for how "Lilith" became a member of the Bloodline, it was not through the "First Embrace" of the Savior but through a direct "Self Awakening."

In short, the memories of both the "Blood True Ancestor" and the "Blood Ancestor" are now different for everyone.

In Badak, in everyone's awareness, the "Blood True Ancestor" and the "Blood Ancestor" have been the same person right from the start.

This discovery made Charlotte slightly frown.

You see, before this latest crossing, she had just reviewed her previous two crossings through those memory fragments in the mirrors.

In those memory fragments, her identity and Lilith's identity were still distinguishable.

But after this latest crossing… how did these two identities merge together?

Isn't it said… that history cannot be changed?

If her identity has merged with Lilith's, if in the memories of these second-generation Bloodline members in Badak the identities of the Blood Ancestor and Blood True Ancestor have merged into one, doesn't that contradict her previous two crossings?

Or does it mean… her first two crossings were the actual "rewriting" of history, and this post-crossing "identity" merger is history's "self-correction"?

Charlotte felt that she should probably find a way to enter that mirror world which resembled a temporal river again.

She needed to verify, to take another look at the memory mirrors of the first and second crossings to see if those memory fragments had changed again.

Of course, Charlotte knew that in her current state she definitely wouldn't be able to do that.

Even if she wanted to look, she would probably have to wait until her current "crossing" ended and she returned to the future to have the opportunity to check.

"History... has issues, history is in disorder, perhaps only when I truly understand what actually happened to history, sort out the entire chaotic history, can I truly understand all the secrets behind it."

"And this… must also be related to the warning left by Lilith, 'History has never changed, but history can create.'"

Charlotte reflected.

Of course, the information she currently had access to was still too limited.

Crossing time was like a fish entering different tanks; if one wants to understand what the historical tank really entails, one must jump out of the tank to see.

That means, Charlotte may likely need to repeatedly investigate and verify through future crossings.

As for now, since her identity has "merged" with Lilith's, she might as well act in the identity of "Lilith" and first accomplish her current crossing's objectives.

Perhaps, as her strength further increases, she will also become more sensitive to "changes" in history.

"First, I should learn about the current state of the Old Gods in the Northern Border. Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. After all, this time I am here to confront those Old Gods, and though my Blood Divine Power suppresses Them, when facing the Mythical… I still need to be cautious."

Charlotte thought.

...

Having finished her walk, Charlotte returned to the Central Tower and ordered Badak to bring over all the information on the Northern Border.

Badak acted quickly, and soon brought over a large stack of documents.

Charlotte reviewed all the information and gained a general understanding of the situation in the Northern Border.

Unlike her previous two crossings, this time Charlotte had a clearer understanding of the extent of the entire Northern Border.

Different from the Northern Territory in later times, the current Northern Border refers to an area that should be the northern part of the New Moon Kingdom from later times, plus the Northern Territory, parts of the Western Yonette Empire, and parts of the Eastern Yonette Black Land.

Overall, it almost encompasses the majority of the western part of the Mireya Continent.

This area is almost the core area of the Yonette Empire that later unified the continent.

In fact, this area could no longer be described simply as the "northern frontier" of the continent; from the drawn maps, Charlotte tended to think that the name "Northern Border" might have been unilaterally named by the elves who had set foot on the Mireya Continent, radiating outward from their own colonies.

With the rise of the Free City State Alliance, the entire Northern Border had developed into a tripartite balance of power.

One faction was the Elf forces that had retreated to the southwest and southeast, occupying areas roughly equivalent to the western part of the New Moon Kingdom and the western region of the West Yonette Empire, separated from the Free City State Alliance by the Don River and the Moon God Inner Sea.

Another faction was the Free City State Alliance itself, controlling areas equivalent to the northern part of the New Moon Kingdom, the Castel Lowlands, the southern part of the Northern Territory, and the western part of the Black Land in Eastern Yonette.

The last faction was the Old Gods, whose controlled area almost coincided with the future Northern Territory Grand Duchy.

Among these three factions, the Elf forces, which were divided in half by the Free City State Alliance, shall not be discussed for now.

The Elf Clan was not united internally, and was fragmented into various forces; their controlled areas were significantly fragmented, and rivers, mountains, and the Inner Sea also created barriers, posing no immediate threat to the Free City State Alliance.

As transcendental powers rapidly spread among humans, the Elf Clan was exhausted dealing with internal human "uprisings," leaving them no surplus energy to unite and launch an assault on the rapidly growing Free City State Alliance.

They could only rely on a temporary alliance with the Old Gods to prevent the Free City State Alliance from advancing southward and eastward.

Facing pressure from the northern Old Gods power, the Free City State Alliance temporarily lacked the capability to continue attacks on the Elf-controlled areas, as the majority of their forces were constrained by the combined Old Gods Church.

A delicate balance had been achieved among the three sides, while the ongoing war between the city-state alliance and the Old Gods persisted, stuck in a situation where large-scale wars did not break out, but smaller conflicts were continuous.

As for why this was the case, Charlotte gained further understanding after reviewing various materials about the Free City State Alliance—

The transcendental powers of the Free City State Alliance had reached their current limits.

Similar to the Elf Clan, the Old Gods were not united either; the Old Gods forces that were battling the Free City State Alliance were actually led by a few Old Gods headed by the Secret Covenant God Kulkan.

Having become a Demigod and even slain the God of Hatred and Deformation, Lilith was able to restrain those Old Gods hostile to the city-states, and with mythical powers mutually restraining each other, transcendental powers became the decisive force determining the direction of the war.

Although the overall power of the Bloodline in the Free City State Alliance was growing stronger, it was still too weak overall against the mythical pressure of the Old Gods factions.

For this reason, there was what Badak termed "Second Awakening"—the selection of talented Bloodline members for the Ancestor to personally enhance their blood powers, further strengthening the transcendental powers of the City State Alliance.

This was also in preparation for further fighting against the Old Gods.

Charlotte swiftly went through various materials, rapidly understanding the current situation in the Northern Border.

During this time, the door was knocked again:

"Lady Lilith, the favored clan warriors who passed the preliminary selection have been gathered in the central hall, and we can commence the final screening at any time."

Upon hearing the report, Charlotte slapped her forehead, remembering Lilith's afternoon task of selecting trusted aides.

The screening was to be conducted one-on-one and personally handled by Charlotte.

Of course, while termed as selecting trusted aides, it was also one of the preparatory steps for the "Second Awakening," intending to select a batch of trusted aides and maids for the Second Awakening to enhance their blood powers, according to the information she had reviewed.

Now that Charlotte had "crossed" into being Lilith, this task fell to her.

"Just perfect… I'm quite curious about the Bloodline warriors of the City State Alliance these days, not sure what their true strength is like, looking into it now wouldn't hurt."

Charlotte murmured to herself.

She replied with a "Got it," then tidied up her materials, readjusted her posture, and prepared for the screening.

In a short while, the door was knocked again, and Badak's voice came through:

"Savior, we're ready."

Charlotte nodded,

"Let them come in one at a time."

As her words fell, the door was pushed open, and Charlotte felt a massive shadow cast into the room, instantly blocking the sunlight from the window.

Gazing at the first Bloodline warrior to enter the room for screening, towering over three meters tall, Charlotte sitting behind the desk was momentarily stunned, and instinctively exclaimed,

"Good gracious, that's really tall!"
