Feeling her own Divine Power soaring, and the increasingly clear connection with the Nais Bloodline, Charlotte quickly realized that she had taken over the Faith Network of the Nais Clan.

The Nais Clan worshipped the Bloodline Prince Stargazer Cosy, who had been "missing" for hundreds of years. For centuries, the faith network of the Nais Bloodline had been unmanaged.

Although the faith of the Bloodline as a whole was not particularly devout, the accumulation over hundreds of years was still a considerable asset, and now... it was all happily accepted by Charlotte.

Of course, this did not mean that Charlotte had stolen the faith of the Nais Clan.

The faith of the Nais Clan persisted, their object of worship still Stargazer Cosy.

However, at the highest point of their faith network, above the faith node representing Stargazer Cosy, another new node had appeared.

This was a higher-status node, linking Charlotte's faith with the original faith of the Nais Clan, while having a higher level of control over the Nais Clan's original faith network.

In other words, it was like the company representing Charlotte's faith had acquired the Nais Clan's company. Without changing the composition of the Nais Clan's company, it had parachuted in a board of directors that could decide the entire company's operations and future.

This was somewhat similar to the Divine System within the Holy Royal Court.

Charlotte's own faith was the main Divine System, and the Nais Clan... had become a subsidiary under her.

In other words, from this moment on, Stargazer Cosy... had been forced to become a sub-god to Charlotte.

Wait a minute...

Forced to become a sub-god?

Charlotte was momentarily stunned, quickly realizing an important issue she had overlooked before.

The faith network of a God was controlled by the God.

Even if the God fell into slumber, other beings wanting to usurp the God's faith had to directly go through the conversion of Believers, or like a substitute, usurp the Divine Position of the slumbering God.

But now, Charlotte had not taken the Divine Position of Stargazer Cosy, nor had she preached among the Nais Bloodline, to say nothing of the fact that... these Nais Bloodline members had not become her Believers.

Under such circumstances, why had Stargazer Cosy offered no resistance at all, simply "acquiescing" in the change of the Nais Clan's faith network?

Even if there was suppression due to bloodline or the influence of the Blood Holy Scripture, there should not have been no resistance at all.

It should be known, in the Crimson Star Sea, the star belonging to Stargazer Cosy was still shining, its dazzling light Charlotte could not forget to this day, even having blocked it out, precisely because she feared the other party would sense her existence.

But now... what was going on?

Unable to help herself, Charlotte once again focused her "gaze" on the Crimson Star Sea representing the Bloodline.

After hesitating, she released the shielding from the radiance of several Princes.

However, as the shield was lifted, Charlotte's expression instantly turned into surprise.

The stars representing the Princes behind the other four Bloodline Clans had not changed, still shining with a blinding light, only... the intensity of this light was no longer as frightening to the current Charlotte as it had been initially.

But the star representing Stargazer Cosy... was different.

Under Charlotte's uncertain gaze, the star representing Stargazer Cosy suddenly shattered, its ethereal light extinguished.

Subsequently, its true form was revealed.

It was no longer a star.

Instead, it was an ancient stone door.

The stone door was in typical Elf style, with astral symbols representing Stargazer Cosy visible on it.

Above the stone door, numerous complex inscriptions and chains enwrapped it, emitting an unsettling aura.

"Is this... Sealing? The Bloodline Prince of the Nais Clan, Stargazer Cosy... has actually been sealed?"

Charlotte was slightly taken aback.

She had heard from Yulster that the Nais Clan had not heard a Divine Oracle from the God for hundreds of years.

Some radicals within the Nais Clan believed that their Prince, Stargazer Cosy, had likely fallen into Eternal Sleep.

Yulster had also had such doubts and even shared his speculations with Charlotte, but... having seen the five stars in the Crimson Star Sea before, Charlotte had always been disdainful of this.

The stars in the Crimson Star Sea could reflect the status of their corresponding Bloodline.

Stargazer Cosy's star was still there, which meant that the other party hadn't fallen.

But now...everything was different.

Perhaps Stargazer Cosy indeed hadn't fallen, but his situation was certainly not as simple as other Gods who had entered into a deep sleep.

He... had been sealed.

Not only that, the door that sealed him was even directly connected to Charlotte's Sea of Consciousness.

Charlotte's gaze sharpened as she looked at the Seal on the stone door.

With the knowledge she had crammed over the past two years, she quickly recognized that the inscriptions were in the ancient Elven language and were of the highest level, specifically used for the most supreme Sealing of Gods.

Charlotte had seen these Seals when she had traversed through history; there were many corresponding descriptions in the books left by the Elf Clan in the central tower, which once had been Elf magic used to withstand the Old Gods of Mireya, reputed to be the most powerful Sealing Spell developed by the Elf Clan before their escape to the Mireya Continent.

Furthermore, as far as Charlotte knew, such Sealing Spells were still in use to this day; in the legends of Mortals who had sealed Gods, it was said that they had used the same secret techniques.

Clearly, Stargazer Cosy had truly been sealed by someone.

And beyond that, on the stone door, there were three lines of blood-soaked warnings written in the common tongue of the continent—

"Do not open, do not open, do not open!"

"Do not... open?"

Charlotte's gaze sharpened.

She carefully looked at the inscriptions, which were rough and chaotic, seemingly hastily written, and became more and more disordered towards the end, as if the writer's consciousness was no longer clear, merely forcing the last few words.

Charlotte pondered for a moment, then solidified her Consciousness Avatar and walked towards the stone door.

As she approached, the clearer details of the stone door were revealed.

Charlotte noticed that the edges of the stone door were covered in cracks, and faintly, she could see the almost indiscernible white fog emanating from within.

That white fog seemed to carry a hint of sacredness, warm and comfortable, as if it had a fatally attractive force.

Just being close, Charlotte felt as if there were shouts of jubilation and kinship from her soul and bloodline, making her unable to resist the urge to draw closer, or even to directly embrace that white fog and become one with it.

Gazing at the drifting white mist, Charlotte's eyes grew somewhat hazy.

Almost unconsciously, she took a step towards the stone door.

However, before Charlotte could continue, the Blood Holy Scripture deep in her consciousness erupted with crimson radiance, enveloping Charlotte's Consciousness Avatar.

Under the illumination of the bloody light, Charlotte's consciousness became instantly clear.

And when she came to, her Consciousness Avatar was merely a step away from the stone door; her arm had even stretched out unknowingly, barely missing a touch on the eerie seal on the stone door.

Charlotte was startled and quickly took a step back.

When she looked at the stone door again, her expression carried dread and relief:

"The fact that it could disturb my spiritual power and judgment unconsciously... what exactly is this white fog beneath the stone door?"

"Behind this... is Stargazer Cosy truly sealed?"

Charlotte slightly furrowed her brow, her gaze towards the stone door now wary.

And at that moment, she seemed to hear a faint calling from inside the stone door.

The voice appeared incredibly weak, barely there, like a ghostly whisper.

Charlotte's gaze sharpened, and her sense of caution greatly increased.

She concentrated all her attention, listening carefully, and then... she finally caught the intermittent voice behind the stone door:

"Save... save me..."

...
