The platinum glow blossomed on Haral's body.

The nightmare-like request echoed continuously in the grand hall.

Charlotte wanted to speak but hesitated.

Her gaze at Haral was full of complexity.

The erosion on Haral's body was already irreversible.

Charlotte knew the method mentioned by Haral was indeed the last resort.

Haral's divine soul had already intertwined completely with the primordial power, making it impossible to fully separate.

As he said, this was his fate, even Charlotte couldn't change the final outcome.

Haral was right, Charlotte no longer had a choice.

This was Haral's destiny.

But from another perspective, it was also an excellent opportunity to eliminate Helios and the Primordial Will in one fell swoop.

Charlotte knew everything Haral said was true.

Yet, there was a sense of inexplicable resistance in her heart.

No, it wasn't just resistance, but a form of unease.

An unease of fate being passively driven, like walking on a path set by others, unable to control her destiny.

Even though… Charlotte had become a True God, even though she had become a being close to the pinnacle of this world.

Charlotte also knew where this unease came from.

It wasn't merely an unwillingness to devour Haral, the student who adored her, but also a strong suspicion due to the development seeming like fate's arrangement—

Am I… really walking the correct path?

Am I… really "breaking" the destined history?

In theory, yes.

She was an outsider in this world, equipped with power that the primordial could not suppress.

Though she had failed in her past life, according to the Guardian's Staff, this reincarnation had successfully suppressed Helios, and now, an excellent chance to catch Helios and the Primordial Will in one sweep was at hand.

But Charlotte still felt uneasy.

She felt she must have overlooked something.

Though she didn't know what it was she had overlooked.

Charlotte deeply trusted her spiritual sense.

So, even faced with this destined end, she remained silent, without taking immediate action.

"Savior… Your Majesty!"

Haral's voice rang out again.

This time, it carried a plea.

However, soon his expression turned painful, and his face suddenly contorted.

Charlotte sensed the change in Haral's soul wave in an instant.

She realized immediately, Helios's consciousness had suppressed Haral and gained the upper hand over the divine soul:

"Shut up! You traitor! I'm one step away! One step away! You worthless wretch!"

"Helios," looking frenzied, his gaze filled with anger, yet within the anger, there was an indescribable fear.

But quickly, Haral returned to a pleading stance, and the soul wave returned to normal:

"Teacher! Our time… is running out!"

Seeing Haral's anxious look, Charlotte sighed inwardly.

Haral was right.

Their time really was running out.

Helios and the Primordial Will evidently perceived Haral's intent; she could sense the erosion on Haral's divine soul instantly accelerating.

Charlotte's expression shifted several times, finally sighed lightly, and closed her eyes, immersing herself in consciousness.

Crimson divine power expanded relentlessly, and the Blood Holy Scripture in consciousness radiated as if urging something.

"Looking" at the Supreme Divine Artifact that had accompanied her since the crossing, aiding her to ascend all the way, Charlotte's gaze was inexplicable.

After a moment of silence, she lightly spoke in her heart:

"Blood… Holy Scripture."

"If this truly is the arrangement of fate, if this truly is the correct path."

"If—"

"You truly have your own [awareness], then…"

"Please tell me, what exactly is the correct choice?"

The Blood Divine Power activated.

Charlotte wielded the divine power, once again casting Blood Divination.

This time, she divined about her own destiny.

The Blood Divine Power erupted, an unprecedented brilliance burst forth on the Blood Holy Scripture.

In the ocean of consciousness, crimson light spread, a storm like a sky upheaval rose in the sea of blood.

The Blood Holy Scripture shone brilliantly, flickering.

It opened on its own, soon flipping to the last page.

On the crimson pages, golden light gradually illuminated, slowly… a row of ancient words emerged.

Seeing those words, Charlotte's eyes slightly condensed.

These words were distinctly different from the previous ones.

This time the words were in Chinese…

Sixteen characters glowing brightly in gold, looming and flickering on the page—

[Accept fate, Nirvana Zero, deceive history, born to die]

"Accept fate, Nirvana Zero, deceive history, born to die…"

Charlotte murmured.

At that moment, she felt as if she had grasped something.

This was the response of the Blood Holy Scripture.

It was also its first time responding in Chinese.

Charlotte went silent.

She deeply gazed at the Blood Holy Scripture, nodded slightly:

"I… understand."

Retreating from the sea of consciousness, Charlotte opened her eyes.

Looking at Haral's pleading face, her expression had returned to calm.

She no longer spoke any further words.

But the rapidly rising divine power in her body already displayed her decision.

Seeing the divine power constantly surging from Charlotte, Haral smiled.

His smile carried relief:

"True Ancestor Your Majesty…"

"Everything is entrusted to you."

In the next moment, the surging Blood Divine Power erupted, and the crimson radiance completely engulfed Haral.

In a moment, His mouth curved into a strange arc, but it disappeared in the surging Divine Power as the crimson brilliance completely erupted.

At the same time, Charlotte felt the vast Holy Power rushing toward her, eagerly pouring into her Divine Position…

Her Divine Power, which had long reached a bottleneck, began to gradually loosen, like a butterfly breaking out of a cocoon or a fledgling cracking its shell.

A new strength was generated within her Divine Position, a new Divine Power spread throughout her body.

And in the next instant, that force broke through everything…

Secret Valley.

A beam of gold and crimson light soared into the sky, piercing through the clouds, straight into the heavens.

The startling pulse spread outward from the center of the Divine Hall ruins, soon condensing into a massive gold-crimson light cocoon, enveloping Charlotte inside.

...

Charlotte had a dream.

In the dream, she seemed to become a gust of wind.

She floated past the vast mountains, green blossomed between them, flowers bloomed on the ridges.

She crossed the cracked valleys, streams spread flowing, the heavens and earth sent down sweet rain.

She traversed the desolate plains, forests rose from the ground, rivers rushed down.

She cast her gaze upon the earth, birds and beasts were born in the mountain forests.

She lingered in the mountains, minerals grew and emerged.

She spiraled in the sky, Magic Power spread on its own.

She became an omnipotent presence.

A breath of wind capable of changing everything, creating everything.

Charlotte really liked this feeling.

Unrestrained, omnipotent, in control of everything.

Just like this.

One year…

One year…

Another year…

If possible, she felt she could keep going like this forever.

But she knew it wasn't possible.

Charlotte closed her eyes.

In the depths of her consciousness, the crimson brilliance of the Blood Holy Scripture illuminated like a lamp in the darkness guiding her path.

It was both a lamp and an anchor.

"This is the Primordial dream."

"But I am, ultimately not the Primordial…"

Charlotte sighed lightly.

The crimson brilliance spread.

Countless prayers flowed into Charlotte's consciousness.

There were pleas, cries, wails, and despair…

She seemed to hear the battlefield's clash.

She heard the believers' anguish, cries, and calls.

She heard the gallop of hooves, the roar of giant cannons…

She also heard the cheers and praises of the Holy believers.

Charlotte fell into silence.

Her will gradually firmed.

She waved her hand, ending the dream.

In the next moment, her consciousness slowly awakened.

...

Secret Valley.

Dense vines covered everything, the decaying ruins were overgrown with lush trees.

In the valley's center, the massive light cocoon continued to shimmer with gold-crimson brilliance, only the shrubs and vines around the cocoon recorded the passage of time.

Time unknown…

Suddenly, tiny cracks appeared on the cocoon.

Soon, these cracks swiftly spread, like a spider web, and then shattered with a soft sound.

An obscure energy ripple spread out.

Wherever it reached, flowers blossomed, all things revived.

Tangible Magic Power unfurled, forming various wondrous phenomena in the Secret Valley, vast and majestic aura spreading with the Magic Power.

All things bowed, like to a Monarch.

Until a distant sigh echoed.

The brilliance gathered, a noble and divine figure appeared within the valley.

A solemn Divine Robe interwoven with gold and black.

Magnificent silver hair and mysterious red-gold eyes.

And an enchanting, transcendent, dreamlike beautiful face…

It was Charlotte.

The deity-like might seemed to be gone from her.

She stood there, as if merged with the whole world.

The world rhythmically moved with her breath, Magic Power shimmered with her heartbeat.

She did not use a single ounce of power.

Yet her every move seemed to affect the entire world.

The world was her.

She was the world.

Raising her eyes, she looked at the shrine relic surrounded by shrubbery.

With a look, vegetation withdrew, the Divine Hall was reborn, everything around instantly restored to flawless condition.

It was not even the dilapidated state she had seen before her slumber, but the form during the Divine Hall's most glorious era.

As if time reversed, or granted rebirth.

This was merely a glance, or perhaps an insignificant thought.

"How long have I slept?"

An ethereal voice resonated.

Carrying a strange power, making any existence unable to refuse answering, feeling compelled to answer with all their heart.

"Respected Your Majesty, you have slept for three years."

An old and respectful voice responded to her inquiry.

Behind Charlotte.

The Guardian's Staff appeared at some unknown time, postured respectfully and submissively.
