Tome of Blood

Chapter 669-16- The Trajectory of History

The identity fusion plan is progressing even more smoothly than Artemis had anticipated.

As the "True Ancestor of Blood," Artemis began to share the power of the vampires with her followers in the City-State Alliance, and nurtured the reincarnated elven gods into vampires.

As Lilith merged with the identity of the "Blood Ancestor," people gradually forgot about the "Heir of Revelation" who created the vampire race. Instead, Lilith became completely bound to the original Ancestor.

The Blood Ancestor "Gai" also became one of the names Lilith used after she became the Ancestor.

And so, fifteen years after their identities merged, Artemis awaited her teacher's return from another time travel.

This time, the future Charlotte descended directly into her avatar, taking the form of Lilith, and bestowed the power of the Blood God upon the reincarnated elven gods.

Although these reincarnated deities have lost their power, they have ultimately ascended to the realm of mythology, and their natural talents are undeniable.

In the future, nourished by the power of the Blood God, they will once again ascend to mythology and become the vampire kings and nobles of "history".

Meanwhile, Helios, the reincarnation, or Harald, also gained the power of the Blood God and became a powerful vampire.

But not everything goes smoothly.

This time, the gaze of the primordial being finally turned to us during our journey through time.

That was the origin of the "future".

The instant His gaze fell upon her, Artemis sensed that the seal on the western continent against the slumbering primordial being had loosened.

Fortunately, they had foreseen this situation long before Charlotte decided to go into slumber.

Artemis, in her true form, joined forces with Oceanus, the Sea King, and Charlotte, who had traveled from the future, to successfully suppress the original will once again.

However, during the suppression, the form manifested by the primordial will made Artemis somewhat uneasy.

Just like the "history" that had happened before, it was the image of Helios.

"Could it be... that we haven't completely separated the primordial power from our brother? Could it be... that we are still following the path predetermined by history?"

Artemis felt a chill run down her spine.

But this time, there was no one she could consult with.

The "future Charlotte" who has completed the mission of bestowing the power of bloodline has returned.

Meanwhile, "Teacher Charlotte," who became a creator being, remains asleep.

Artemis... can only rely on herself.

"When the future teacher arrives again, it will be necessary to further investigate the original state."

Artemis thought.

Unfortunately, although He also obtained the power of the Blood God, He was ultimately not the true master of the Blood God's power.

To counteract the initial erosion, the teacher still needs to intervene; even with the power of the Blood God, He cannot completely eliminate them.

However, Artemis did not see her teacher return.

……

A century has passed in the blink of an eye.

While waiting for their teacher's "return," the vampire clan's rise spread as rapidly as wildfire.

Unbeknownst to many, Artemis's avatar had become an existence on par with her true form, one of the three true gods of the world of Myria, the Blood Ancestor known to all.

Under the attack of the vampires, the power of the old gods was almost completely eradicated, and the elven forces that had turned to the original were also wiped out one by one by the vampire princes who had been reborn.

A century after a century, and another century after another.

In the blink of an eye, a thousand years have passed.

The power of the vampires eventually became a behemoth covering the entire continent of Miria, and the Blood Moon Empire, which honored Lilith, the true progenitor of blood, as its empress, was established with the support of many vampires.

The faith of the True Ancestor spread to every corner of the continent, and even in the deep sea, there were many believers who worshipped the Blood Moon.

Artemis sat on the Blood Throne, receiving the worship of many vampires. Those elven gods who were once her colleagues had now become vampire demigods, taking pride in possessing the bloodline of the true progenitor.

They...did not regain their memories of their past lives.

This is quite normal. Their past lives were devoured by the primordial being. In the process of being devoured, their true spirits inevitably became corrupted. Although they were saved, in order to sever the primordial corruption, their memories had to be erased.

Harald was the same; not only that, but he also became the only royal bloodline who achieved mythology—after all, his body in this world was originally a sibling and relative of the blood ancestor "Lilith".

Of course, the fact that the two were siblings had long been "forgotten" with the merging of the True Ancestor's identity.

The vampires rose to power just as history had predicted, and the primordial power was completely suppressed. Everything unfolded exactly as Artemis and her teacher had planned.

But Artemis grew increasingly uneasy.

"It went too smoothly..."

"It went so smoothly... as if there had been no resistance at all in the beginning."

Looking at the increasingly prosperous Bloodline Empire before her, Artemis frowned, feeling as if she had overlooked something.

He let out a soft breath, shook his head, and decided to go to the city to clear his head.

It concealed the identity of the "True Ancestor of Blood" and also the identity of the moon goddess Artemis.

Artemis disguised herself as an ordinary vampire and descended upon the Blood Moon Royal City.

The vampires' rule is incredibly secure, and their status is becoming increasingly transcendent. Even if she were disguised as an ordinary vampire, the citizens would stop and bow upon seeing her.

But Artemis did not like this clear-cut boundary.

Especially after many ordinary people saw awe and fear in their eyes.

"A ruler who is alienated from the masses will sooner or later be abandoned by them."

For some reason, she suddenly remembered something her teacher had said in the past.

But the next moment, she suddenly froze.

Her gaze was fixed on everything in the Blood Moon Royal City, and she finally realized the source of her unease:

"No change..."

"Everything... remains unchanged from historical developments..."

History cannot be changed; this is an inevitable rule.

However, the teacher who fell into slumber had already inflicted a severe blow on the original, and although he could not "change" history, he could still influence the details of history to some extent.

Artemis had the same plan, and she even intended to unite all the vampire demigods to stage a play to deceive history.

However, as she reflected on the hundreds of years since her teacher's last time travel, she was horrified to realize that after her teacher's departure, "history" had returned to its previous course.

The vampires are rising in power, but at the same time... they are gradually becoming feared by the world.

Moreover, when Artemis investigated further, she was shocked and furious to discover that even though she had long forbidden vampires from raising humans as food, many similar incidents still occurred among the vampires who had already ruled the continent.

Artemis hurriedly found the vampire elders' logbook and desperately tried to recall her memories of her past life. She was horrified to discover that the vampire records of the past few hundred years were no different from the history that her teacher had awakened in her memories!
That is truly indistinguishable, even the time, place, people and events of many "historical events" are exactly the same!
He hadn't yet started "acting" with the demigods, but many historical events had already happened naturally!

In other words, the trajectory of history... is returning to its original course under the influence of some unknown force.

At this moment, Artemis finally realized a fact she had overlooked—

The Primordial One... probably already made his move!

After realizing this, Artemis thought of something else.

He abruptly looked up at the solemn Blood Throne, a flicker of fear appearing in his crimson pupils:
and many more……

If, if history begins to revert to its predetermined course...

So, what will happen next for the vampires who have already unified the entire continent?

……

Artemis...

The "teacher" never returned.
