Lilith does not recognize Haral anymore.
No, more accurately, it seems Lilith has "forgotten" everything related to Haral.
That includes not just the future Haral, who would beco the "Creator God," but also Haral himself, Lilith's brother.
Charlotte is not unfamiliar with this kind of "forgetfulness," because she encountered similar situations in the afterlife, where the Bloodline forgot about "Lilith."
Charlotte had many speculations in the past about why "Lilith" was forgotten, among which the most likely is that Lilith's existence was erased.
Of course, after she crossed over this ti, she replaced Lilith and further revised the reasons for Lilith's disappearance.
Perhaps... it was precisely her replacent that led everyone to "forget" Lilith.
This eting with Lilith also indirectly verified this point; Lilith obviously deliberately allowed Charlotte to take her place.
Lilith placed her bet on Charlotte, hoping Charlotte could reach a height surpassing all gods; only then could Charlotte combat the "Primordial Evil" and change the fate where countless Bloodline mbers were devoured by the "Primordial Evil."
Of course, not only the Bloodline possesses the "Primordial Power," but the extraordinary power of the entire Mireya world also cos from the Creator God. For thousands of years, the power of the Creator God has actually already perated all aspects of the Mireya world, rging with the world's vitality.
In the countless fragnts deep in Royena's mory, Charlotte saw not only the destruction of the Bloodline; amid the shattered Blood Moon and the fallen Prince, the cracked earth and dried-up rivers sparked her imagination.
Combining Lilith's resolute attitude, Charlotte could easily deduce that what was devoured by the "Primordial Evil" was probably not just the visible, tangible "Primordial Power," but also the vitality that had long fused into every aspect of the Mireya world.
In other words, Lilith truly wants Charlotte to beco the "Savior."
But this is where the problem lies.
If the Bloodline's "forgetfulness" of Lilith in the afterlife is because Charlotte replaced her, then what about Haral?
Could it be... Haral was also replaced or "erased"?
But what puzzled Charlotte is that Haral did not disappear, not just in the era she crossed over to, but also in the era where she exists in the afterlife.
Not to ntion, Lilith in the ti-space gap still "awakened" with all her mories, and since all mories have been awakened, she should not forget about Haral's existence.
But Lilith's reaction couldn't be faked.
This made Charlotte feel quite discordant, as if Lilith and the ti-space she is in still have enormous errors.
Why this situation occurs, Charlotte cannot figure out, but she can be sure that it is related to Haral; Haral must have encountered sothing in the past or future that she does not know.
"Too many strange places... perhaps this is also the influence of the 'fractured' history of the Mireya world; after all... the entire world's history has massive bugs."
Charlotte sighed inwardly.
Ti is a precisely operating machine, while history... is a part of ti.
Be it the Bloodline's repeated reincarnations or the repeated engagents between the Primordial Evil and Lilith, it's evident that after unknown nurous conflicts, the original history has already been smashed to pieces, leaving only the shattered ruins.
Of course, this is not necessarily a bad thing for Charlotte.
In their conversation, Lilith had already told her that the "Blood Holy Scripture" was a forbidden divine artifact "stolen" from the primordial ti-space power, and since Charlotte had mastered the initiative of "ti-space travel," she naturally also held the advantage of "repairing" history.
"Lilith said before, the thing behind the door was following , moreover, unlike who can descend directly to this ti-space, it cannot achieve true ti travel, and its influence on history is much weaker than mine."
"Its 'arrival' was achieved through my crossing, in other words, only during my crossing can it influence this era, and even then... it's only an indirect influence; when I travel back, its influence would also beco ineffective."
"This is also consistent with my conjecture; after all... if the thing behind the door could truly cross ti like , it wouldn't need to leverage the power of the Old Gods; it could deal with directly."
"The thing behind the door... or rather, the Sun God Helios who rged with the Primordial Evil, their actions must have many restrictions that I have yet to comprehend!"
"Moreover, history that has already occurred cannot be changed, and since I have already beco a demigod in the afterlife, even if the other party can affect history, they cannot influence the future where I have yet to have self-preservation power."
"In other words, as Lilith said, I can only resist the other party while 'creating' history, just as the other party must act during this process to deal with , and this process will inevitably take place in the blank spots of history and the yet-to-happen future."
"This recent raid by the Old Gods' Allied Forces on the Free City State Alliance was an attempt to block the rise of the Bloodline; the other party's actions seem more like a probe, perhaps the other party still doesn't quite understand the notion of 'unchangeable history.'"
"The rise of the Bloodline surely cannot be prevented, then... the existence behind it could only suppress my growth during this process, leave so backhands for the future, and even plant so traps for the who would travel back."
"My response is quite simple then: just make sure the other party's desires aren't fulfilled."
"The piece of history I traveled to now is a 'blank,' with only various 'results' recorded in the future and no detailed 'process.' This could be my opportunity to grow quickly and confront the other party..."
"Lilith forgetting Haral is definitely not a trivial matter; the Creator God has mastered the 'Creation Divine Power,' and must also hold part of the primordial authority, Lilith's forgetfulness... might also be a conspiracy by the existence behind the door."
"Luckily, Haral in this ti-space has not disappeared, I should quickly et with him and check his condition. If there is indeed any issue, perhaps the Blood Holy Scripture can discover so clues."
Thinking of this, Charlotte got up and walked out of the temporary office, and instructed Femarol, who was standing guard at the door:
"Send soone to tell Haral to co to the office imdiately after he returns."
...
Charlotte did not have to wait long.
The day after the battle ended, Haral returned with the Alliance's troops.
A cheer erupted in the border fortress, and the spoils captured by the Alliance army filled dozens of carriages. Clearly, Haral's pursuit had been a great success, and Charlotte could almost imagine the scene of the defeated Old Gods army abandoning their helts and armor.
After receiving Charlotte's summons, Haral quickly set aside his things and hurried to the office to pay his respects.
After more than ten years of "not seeing", Haral had changed considerably compared to Charlotte's impression of him. He was no longer the introverted boy or the sowhat awkward young man but had beco a steady middle-aged man.
He was not of the Bloodline, and his handso face even faintly showed crow's feet, marks left by the passage of ti.
Haral... should be thirty-six or thirty-seven years old by now. Although he was not of the Bloodline, his Transcendent Aura was not weak. Charlotte roughly sensed it and judged it to be at the level of Blazing Sun Peak.
At this mont, Charlotte felt a sense of the fleeting passage of ti. Previously she had always interacted with the Bloodline, witnessing firsthand the change of her "student" from child to middle age in less than a year, which made her feelings complex.
"Teacher Lilith, the guard said you had sothing urgent to discuss with ?"
This was the first sentence Haral said to Charlotte.
Calm, respectful, and even tinged with subtle fondness.
Just a single sentence, and Charlotte realized many things.
Unlike others, in Haral's eyes, she remained his teacher.
Charlotte did not know what level of fusion between her and "Lilith" existed in Haral's perception, but at least... it seed to be just a change in address.
"Haral, do you... still rember our first eting?"
Thinking for a mont, Charlotte asked.
Haral showed a hint of nostalgia:
"Of course, that was almost thirty years ago. At that ti... I thought you were the Heir of the Apocalypse from the Tower."
"Yes, almost thirty years. The little boy who once was has grown so large in the blink of an eye."
Charlotte was also sowhat emotional.
She paused for a mont, then asked again calmly:
"Speaking of which, do you have any siblings?"
Haral shook his head:
"Not anymore. Since my sister died in the Battle of Silver City, the family has only left."
Charlotte fell silent.
After a few monts, she sighed, her gaze showing a hint of depth:
"Yes, only you are left."
She roughly understood how her and "Lilith's" fusion had occurred.
Evidently, Lilith's complete integration with her should have begun the mont she gave her First Embrace to him.
In other people's mories, Haral's sister "Lilith" had already died back then.
And she, on that day, achieved "Nirvana," becoming the Blood Ancestor.
"Teacher, it seems you have sothing on your mind. Is there sothing wrong?"
Haral asked.
Charlotte glanced at him, then nodded:
"Yes, this ti when I tracked the Old Gods, I discovered that their powers were different from those previous ones. Their Divine Power... contained 'Pollution'."
"You have confronted them before, so I plan to examine your body to prevent them from leaving any hidden dangers in you." Upon hearing Charlotte's words, Haral did not hesitate for a mont:
"What do you need to do?"
"Just close your eyes."
Charlotte said.
Haral quickly obediently closed his eyes.
Feeling the absolute trust from his gestures and movents, Charlotte thought perhaps she was worrying too much.
However, Lilith's "forgetting" of Haral was indeed abnormal, and she had to carefully check his physical state.
Thinking this, Charlotte extended her hand and placed it on Haral's forehead.
With the quiet operation of Blood Divine Power, Charlotte activated the force of her Divine Soul.
And the mont she "entered" Haral's body, a mighty and holy familiar force swept toward her.
That... was the power of the Holy Royal Court's Holy Power.
