Tome of Blood

This is Charlotte's first "active" time travel.

To be honest, before she fell asleep, she was not sure whether she could succeed. She just had a feeling in the dark that now... she might be able to "actively" "reverse time" by relying on the Blood Scripture and return to past.

It turns out that her hunch might be right.

When her clear consciousness gradually sank as she fell asleep, the boundless darkness gradually swallowed up her vision. Charlotte, who silently chanted "I want to go back to the past, I want to go back to the past!" only felt that the Holy Book of Blood in the depths of her consciousness suddenly bloomed crimson. The brilliance gradually engulfed the entire world.

In the dark, Charlotte saw a gorgeous and illusory clock appearing under her feet. The hands on the clock moved slower and slower, and eventually stopped.

Charlotte found herself in an endless void.

Under her feet was the illusory clock that had stopped rotating, and around her were pieces of broken mirrors.

Charlotte looked at the mirrors curiously.

Among them, in the mirror closest to her, the dark red castle continued to collapse, and the terrifying monster danced its ferocious tentacles. In the sky, a silver-haired woman surrounded by crimson radiance looked indifferent. She waved her arms, red-gold The brilliance flows in the pupils, summoning the illusory cage that imprisons the monster...

Charlotte quickly recognized it. It was the scene when she was "suppressing" the monsters in the Holy Land of Hortosh. The silver-haired woman in the sky was exactly her entering the liberating posture of divine power.

An inexplicable throbbing came to her heart, and Charlotte subconsciously stretched out her hand towards the mirror.

However, when her fingers touched the mirror, they were blocked by an invisible barrier.

Smooth and cold.

Let Charlotte subconsciously think of a "mirror" in the true sense.

Charlotte took back her hand and looked at other nearby mirrors.

In those mirrors, various fragments familiar to Charlotte were also played.

In a splendid palace, wearing a crown, wearing gorgeous clothes, holding a scepter, a magic sword and a orb, Charlotte walked to the throne surrounded by people and accepted the worship of nobles and priests.

In the solemn black castle, the liberated Charlotte with divine power was majestic. The crimson divine power continued to spread. Hundreds of vampires showed fear and awe on their faces. They knelt on the ground and worshiped her like a god. picture.

There is an image of Charlotte, bathed in holy light, kneeling in front of the statue in a brightly lit temple, praying towards the statue of the Lord in the "favor" of the holy light.

There is also a scene where Charlotte, wearing a silver skirt and armor and riding a horse, raises her sword high to boost morale in front of Castel's army, which is ready to go...

Those pictures are all fragments of memories that Charlotte has experienced, just like recorded history.

One after another, the scenes in each mirror are not repeated, and they are all experiences recorded with Charlotte as the protagonist.

These mirrors surround Charlotte. The ones closest to her record the closest time, and the farther away they are, the farther back they are recorded.

Charlotte's heart moved slightly.

She thought for a moment and took steps toward the distant mirror.

As Charlotte moved, she felt as if something was being withdrawn from her body, and the stationary clock under her feet suddenly began to rotate counterclockwise.

As the clock hands reversed, Charlotte successfully took steps and came to the mirrors farther away from her.

Those were some fragments of her memories from an earlier period, including secret visits to the Castellin mines, attending banquets held by the Crescent Kingdom nobles, and scenes that caused "miracles" during her coming-of-age ceremony.

The fragments recorded by the mirrors are connected into a line, and each of Charlotte's impressive memory fragments is used as a node to form a "ribbon" composed of countless mirrors.

Oh, this is the "progress bar" of time!

Looking at the mirrors that were "played" in reverse chronological order, Charlotte had such an idea inexplicably.

It is indeed similar. The ribbon made of mirrors is "progress", and the clock under her body is somewhat similar to "slider".

Thinking of this, Charlotte reached the starting point of "progress".

There, there was only one mirror, which showed the scene of a girl hanging on a cross being disemboweled by a crazy "old witch" in a gloomy and dark basement...

Seeing that familiar sight, Charlotte shuddered subconsciously and couldn't help but reach out and touch her belly.

That was her experience not long ago.

And she can't forget that horrific experience even now.

Further forward, the mirror is broken.

But when Charlotte looked into the distance, she saw a bright star river.

No, that's not a galaxy, that's a long "ribbon" made up of more mirrors.

However, those mirrors were too far away from Charlotte. From her point of view, all she saw was just a distant spot of light.

But if you look carefully, you will find that the Milky Way composed of light points should actually be connected to the ribbon around Charlotte.

Although there are many breaks in the middle, it should be integrated as a whole. It feels like a long mirrored river to Charlotte, with most of the parts in the middle cut off.

However, among the distant light spots, Charlotte could vaguely feel that two light spots were exceptionally bright, giving her an extremely close and familiar feeling.

Withdrawing her gaze from the distance, Charlotte once again looked at the scene of the blood sacrifice incident in the basement in the mirror beside her.

In the picture, the image has progressed to the point where she used magical counterattacks to successfully counterattack.

Charlotte looked thoughtfully at the darkness behind the mirror and the "starlight" at the end of the darkness.

"If this galaxy is the long river of time...then this darkness should be the thousand years since the 'Blood Ancestor' disappeared."

"What I need to reach should be further away..."

After thinking for a while, she continued walking.

At this step, Charlotte's movements were much more difficult.

The feeling of being pulled away from her soul came again. Charlotte felt as if she had entered a high-density space, with huge pressure coming from all around, and everything seemed to be refusing her to move forward.

Charlotte gritted her teeth. She used the power of her blood and took steps with all her strength. With her efforts, she finally succeeded in taking steps.

The stationary clock turned again, this time, faster than ever.

As Charlotte took steps forward, the hands of the clock seemed to be out of control and began to reverse crazily.

One step, but it seemed like it spanned an eternity.

Charlotte only felt that everything around her was quickly moving away. In the darkness, she seemed to see countless broken lenses flashing around. Those broken mirrors were dim and dull, almost blending into the darkness. There were even more broken mirrors in them. It's nothingness.

The soul was quickly pulled away, and Charlotte's movements became slower and slower. When she landed with difficulty, she had already "one step" across the entire void and arrived at the other side of the "Galaxy".

Countless mirrors appeared around Charlotte again, forming a ribbon.

Most of the mirrors are dim, but some are bright.

Charlotte looked over and found that the fragments in the bright mirror were also very familiar to her. They were her various experiences when she traveled through history twice.

The two mirrors that gave her a feeling of extreme closeness and familiarity were the memory fragments of her first time traveling to Northern Xinjiang, and the memory fragments of her second time traveling when she fell into the battle between the Free City-State Alliance and the followers of the Evil God.

As for those dim mirrors, they are located between two bright mirror sequences and after the second bright mirror sequence.

Charlotte looked over and quickly realized that it was the history after she "left".

Among them, the fragments between the two bright lens sequences should be the 14 years of history between her first time travel and her second time travel.

Through the image of the lens, Charlotte saw the resistance of Lilith and Harald, saw them overthrowing the tower and establishing a city-state, saw them being betrayed and fighting against the old gods.

Until... Charlotte's figure appeared again in the second bright mirror.

At the end of the second bright mirror, there is a scene where Lilith dies, Charlotte uses her first embrace to resurrect her, and then leaves the old time and space.

After thinking for a while, Charlotte changed direction and took steps towards the dim mirrors behind the second bright mirror.

Still difficult, but better than just walking.

The clock at Charlotte's feet was turning again, this time... in a positive direction.

Charlotte quickly came to the end of the second bright mirror and saw clearly the dim mirrors behind it.

That should be the history after she left during her second time travel.

In those mirrors, she saw Lilith giving the power of blood to the mutated Free City soldiers, transforming them into second-generation vampires.

She saw the God of Hatred and Aberration taking advantage of the chaos to escape, hurling harsh words at the Free Cities.

She saw more and more vampires, and the fighting power of the Free City became stronger and stronger. She saw Lilith leading the army to repel the "rebels" who believed in the old gods step by step.

She saw the Free Cities Alliance regaining lost ground, and she saw Lilith becoming more powerful as time went on.

She saw in the mirror, red light rising into the sky, and blazing divine fire igniting from the darkness.

That's when Lilith became a demigod.

However, when Charlotte looked at the dim mirrors after Lilith became a demigod, she was slightly stunned.

In those mirrors...she couldn't even see Lilith's face clearly.

As if isolated by some kind of power, she could only identify Lilith's identity through those crimson divine powers and long silver hair.

She saw the end of the old gods, she saw the divine battle between Lilith and the old gods, she saw the God of Hatred and Distortion reappearing, she saw Lilith’s divine power erupting, and she personally killed her...

Here, the dim mirror ends.

Beyond that, there was another deep darkness.

In the darkness, broken mirrors can be vaguely seen. Those mirrors extend into the distant future and are connected to Charlotte's era.

These mirrors are even dimmer, almost blending into the darkness, and there is no image at all in the broken mirrors.

And at the junction of these broken mirrors and the dim mirror with images, there is a special mirror. That mirror shines with a faint light, giving Charlotte a strong calling.

Unlike other mirrors, this mirror is located at the end of the dim mirror and the starting point of the broken mirror.

It also has no image, but it shines with a strange light. Its mirror surface is not like a mirror surface, but like a piece of light and shadow that can pass through.

Charlotte's heart moved slightly, and she vaguely realized that this should be the time and space node that she could travel through this time.

"So, those dim mirror images are the history that happened after I traveled through time and space, and the broken mirrors behind are the history that didn't happen, or that something went wrong. What I have to do now is to get into the gap between them, Start a new round of 'corrections'?"

Charlotte said to herself.

Thinking of this, Charlotte took a deep breath and stretched out her hand towards the "special" mirror.

Her right hand touched the mirror, and the ripples spread out slightly like water. Charlotte felt a strong suction coming from the mirror, sucking her in.

In the long ringing of the bell, crimson light swallowed up the whole world, and Charlotte lost consciousness...

…

"Chirp, chirp..."

The cheerful chirping of birds came, waking Charlotte from her slumber.

She slowly opened her eyes, and what she saw was an unfamiliar ceiling.

This should be in a certain castle. The carvings on the walls had a distinct elf style, and she was lying on a large bed that could barely be called soft.

The fabric of the bed quilt is quite rough, or... the technology is relatively "old".

Her consciousness came back, and her memory returned with it. Charlotte's heart moved and she quickly sat up:

"I...successfully traveled through time?"

As soon as the voice came out, she felt that something was not right.

Although it was still her own voice, it sounded a little different from her usual voice.

There's a little more royal, a little less radish.

When Charlotte sat up, she clearly felt the pressure on her shoulders. She looked down and saw the two round, white, perfectly shaped mountains on her chest.

Charlotte:…

She got up from the bed, picked up the black robe on the hanger nearby and put it on, and then came to the crystal mirror not far away.

What was reflected in the mirror was not her familiar girlish posture, but her usual adult appearance when her divine power was released.

Charlotte frowned slightly.

How should I put it, maybe she was already accustomed to Shaoluo's body shape, but she was really not used to it when she transformed into an adult after time travel.

So the question is, why is this time traveling to adulthood?

She obviously didn't release her divine power.

However, the robe she picked up fit quite well, and seemed to be specially prepared for her current body shape.

Suppressing the doubts in her heart, Charlotte got dressed and opened the door to the room.

Outside the door is a corridor.

Charlotte walked through the corridor and came to the gate of the castle. At the gate, two fully armed soldiers, one on the left and one on the right, were standing guard.

Seeing Charlotte, they instantly stood up straight and saluted respectfully with admiration on their faces:

"Good morning, Lady Lilith!"

Charlotte:...?
