What is this situation?

Nais Clan... have they collectively submitted and pledged their loyalty?

Charlotte looked surprised and felt unexpectedly shocked.

With Yulster the "Double Agent" present, she was aware of much of the internal intelligence of the Nais Clan.

Based on her understanding of the Nais Clan, she knew that even in the best-case scenario, entirely subduing the Nais Clan to become a force loyal to herself would take at least a year and a half.

Charlotte couldn't help but look towards Badak to see if this real current leader of the Nais Clan knew what was going on, and then... she saw a face even more confused than her own.

Of course, surprise aside, since the Nais Clan had so "sensibly" chosen to submit and pledge loyalty, Charlotte, as the Bloodline Ancestor, should also make some gestures.

Her gaze swept across the entire room, and her demeanor became imposing in an instant.

Within the spiritual world, the Blood Holy Scripture radiated dazzling light.

In the real world, the Blood Divine Power burst forth, filling the air with crimson mist.

A pressure deep as the ocean descended.

Dark, vast, profound...

Charlotte... unfolded her Spiritual Force Field.

This was the first time Charlotte had displayed her Spiritual Force Field after a breakthrough in her strength.

There were no bottlenecks, no difficulties.

Because... since crossing over, her "Spiritual Force Field" had actually been deployed countless times already.

That was the spiritual world woven by the Dark Night Ancient Castle.

The deep crimson colored the entire world, and everything around seemed to be transforming.

In a trance, members of the Nais Bloodline felt as though they had arrived at a familiar ancient castle.

They seemed to see an ancient and majestic Blood Throne, and saw Charlotte sitting on it, gradually overlapping with the authoritative image of the Blood True Ancestor from the high-tier Bloodline's blurred memory.

In the sky, dark clouds obscured the moon, then gradually stained crimson.

And as the clouds dispersed, and the moonlight shone upon the earth again, the Silver Moon had turned into a Crimson Blood Moon.

Charlotte sat on the moonlit throne, holding an ancient, thick crimson tome in her hand.

Her attire had transformed into a black divine gown interwoven with thorns and roses, her golden-red gaze both imposing and profound.

There, she sat like an emperor ruling over all.

She gently lifted her hand, and her ethereal yet imperious voice soon resounded across the sky,

"Nais Clan's descendants, I, in the name of the Bloodline Ancestor—accept your submission and loyalty."

As her words fell, Charlotte felt the Blood Divine Power within her burst forth like a dam releasing floodwaters, and at the same time, a crimson light glowed from every Nais Bloodline member in the square.

Charlotte couldn't help but mutter in her mind what the hell, not knowing why merely accepting loyalty would consume such colossal Divine Power.

However, she soon understood why.

The crimson radiance continued to spread, from reality into consciousness.

Deep inside Charlotte's consciousness, in the Crimson Star Sea representing the Bloodline, suddenly about one-tenth of the stars shone with dazzling red light.

Those stars numbered at least thirty thousand, with the brightest seven thousand precisely matching the number of Bloodline members gathered in the square.

That... was all the existing Nais Bloodline members.

The radiance spread, enveloping all the stars, and simultaneously, Charlotte felt her connection to these stars rapidly strengthen...

If previously she could only locate a specific Bloodline member through these stars, know their coordinates, and summon them through Blood Summon...

Now, whenever she wished, she could cast her gaze through the stars representing them or directly summon them to her side.

Even more, she could strip them of their Bloodline Power through the "stars," or rather... grant them Bloodline Power.

That sensation... was as if they had become her believers.

No...

This was the power of "believers."

As the connection continued to strengthen, Charlotte quickly realized the essence of this transformation.

The moment the Nais Bloodline members formally submitted, they were integrated into her own Faith Network.

But... not merely as "believers."

Rather, they were incorporated as Bloodline members, or to put it more precisely, the connection of Bloodline replaced that of faith.

Charlotte instantly understood.

It was not that the Blood True Ancestor did not spread faith, but that the Bloodline True Ancestor simply had no incentive to do so.

Because to the Blood True Ancestor, all Bloodline members were "believers."

However, what connected these "believers" was not "faith," but the "Bloodline."

Furthermore, this connection, born of the Bloodline, was even stronger than that of faith, representing absolute dominion.

Just as gods accumulate divine power through the transcendent strength of their believers.

From this day onward, any enhancement of the Nais Bloodline members' abilities would also contribute part of their Bloodline Power to Charlotte.

In an instant, Charlotte's Faith Network gained thousands of new workers, and they were even more undeniably loyal than ordinary believers.

As if confirming Charlotte's judgment, after the "contract" was established, the feedback came immediately.

Charlotte felt the Blood Divine Power she had just expended rapidly surge back, on a scale even possibly stronger than what she had used.
