"teacher!"
Inside the temple, the two elven deities summoned by Charlotte bowed respectfully.
"Artemis, Helios, how well have you recovered your strength lately?"
Charlotte asked gently.
Artemis answered respectfully:
"It's going very smoothly. Everyone in the Elders' Council is very kind to us. They will do their best to meet any of our requests. In at most ten years, I think I will be able to return to my peak level."
"very good!"
Charlotte was quite satisfied.
But Helios looked somewhat hesitant.
He let out a soft breath and replied:
"Teacher, my strength should recover in three years at most, but..."
Helios hesitated for a moment, then continued:
“These past few days, a mysterious voice has been constantly appearing in my mind… telling me a lot of forbidden knowledge…”
"A mysterious voice? The primordial?"
Charlotte's eyes flickered slightly.
Helios's expression was somewhat bewildered; he struggled at times, then grew fearful, ultimately settling into a nameless terror:
"I have no idea."
"It seems to guide my thoughts, teacher. If you hadn't summoned me here to ask about it, if I weren't in your temple, I... I'm afraid I wouldn't have even thought of reporting this to you!"
Could this really be?
Charlotte's gaze sharpened slightly.
Looking at the sun-like divine light emanating from Helios, she pondered for a moment and had already formed a guess in her mind.
The voice that could influence Helios could be nothing other than something else.
It must be the origin.
Unlike Artemis, Helios was the target chosen by the primordial gods in his previous life, and was even devoured and merged with them in the end. His bond with the primordial is far greater than that of other mythologies.
Although his soul was reshaped by Charlotte in this life, he was still too deeply connected to the original, and his very soul was actually a part of the original.
This point cannot be washed away, and with this connection, it's only a matter of time before He is again affected by the original.
Unless one day, the Primal One completely perishes.
Fortunately, Charlotte is now the same person as the original Charlotte.
Although she was not as strong as her opponent, she had long anticipated Helios's current predicament.
And so, she had an idea in mind.
“Helios, come forward.”
She said.
Helios stepped forward hesitantly, while Charlotte reached out and placed a golden-red light on his forehead.
In an instant, Helios sensed that his divine soul was enveloped by a wisp of crimson-gold light. Although he could still hear the primordial bewitching voice in the darkness, it could no longer affect his mind.
"This is a trace of my original power, which can protect your soul from being corrupted and devoured by the other party."
Charlotte said.
Helios was overjoyed:
"Thank you for your kindness, teacher!"
"Don't thank me yet."
Charlotte waved her hand and continued:
"My power can provide you with temporary protection, but it can never completely sever the original connection between us."
"You are the manifestation of the primordial power. If you want to completely break free from the primordial prison, the primordial itself must be completely destroyed."
Helios looked worried:
"If that's the case, what should I do?"
Charlotte laughed:
"Don't worry, I already have an idea about this."
"Speaking of which, this is actually an opportunity, Helios. Do you remember my plan?"
Helios nodded and replied respectfully:
"Of course I remember, hiding within history, gradually manipulating history, and ultimately taking its place, guiding everything towards a new history that we can control!"
Charlotte nodded slightly and continued:
"In that case, you should also remember the history of the elves from your previous life that I told you, right?"
Helios's expression was somewhat complicated:
"Of course I remember. In my previous life... I was bewitched by the Primal Chaos, wanting to ascend to the highest realm, which ultimately led to the descent of the Primal Chaos' power, causing the destruction of the Western Continent and the decline of the Elven race..."
"It was because of me that the Primordial One possessed an incarnation that could walk the world, and ultimately succeeded in invading the entire world with his power."
Charlotte nodded:
“You’re right. The destruction of the Western Continent was a crucial turning point. No, to be more precise, the war between the Elven Gods and the ‘you’ who was possessed by the Primal One was the most crucial turning point in history.”
"The Primal Ones triumphed, so the Elven civilization collapsed, and the Old Gods rose again."
“However, now that you are protected by the source of my power, the Primordial... can no longer devour your soul.”
Helios's heart stirred:
"Teacher, do you mean... you want to interfere in this 'historical juncture'?"
Charlotte's mind flashed back to that fragmented scroll of time, and she chuckled softly, saying:
"The past cannot be changed. If we do not want to be completely awakened from the original state, then we must make history happen again."
"But history is history, and truth is truth, and the 'me' who has 'reincarnated' time and time again has long since handed over the initiative to write the truth to my own hands..."
"Since the Primordial One wants to use your body to revive, isn't this also an opportunity for us to severely damage Him?"
At this point, Charlotte's expression turned serious, and a glint of light flashed in her crimson-gold pupils:
"Helios..."
"I command you to 'accept' the primal temptation!"
……
The Elven Era, 1347.
Less than ten years after Artemis and Helios ascended to godhood, the last rebellious Old God of the Eastern Continent also succumbed to the siege of the Elven gods.
All known ancient gods of Miria, including twenty-eight demigods and eight true gods, have submitted to the Elven pantheon.
At the command of the elven gods, they removed their own idols and instead worshipped the creator god whom the elves believed in.
However, many of the ancient gods of Miria do not agree with the idea of a "goddess of creation." They believe that the goddess of creation has no gender and is the originator of all things, and should be revered as the "original goddess."
Of course, this was met with strong opposition from the Elven Gods. Although the Old Gods eventually agreed to worship the Creator God under pressure from the Elven Gods, in private, many myths did not choose the "Creator Goddess" but rather the "Primordial God".
Charlotte, high above in the sky, was fully aware of all these developments and changes.
But she did not stop it.
The elves have won. The Primal One was asleep, not dead. If we suppress it too much at this point, it could cause the Primal One to awaken more quickly.
This level is actually enough.
Charlotte's faith, along with the conversion of many old gods, quietly spread rapidly across the continent of Miria.
Charlotte had a feeling.
I can now choose a suitable intelligent life form on the continent of Miria, and bestow power upon them, making them like elves as my companions.
However, she did not do so rashly.
The place where He originally descended was the continent of Miria, and His control over the continent of Miria was far stronger than that over the Western Continent.
It's fine if she indirectly spreads her faith through the elves, but if she takes matters into her own hands, she might just wake them up.
Even if she were to actually make a move, she would have to further weaken the opponent's power, causing them to fall into a deeper state of slumber, or simply banish or even kill them!
Thinking of this, Charlotte looked towards the western continent again.
Several years have passed, and the number of original believers has increased in the Western Continent.
Hidden primordial temples rose up across the continent, and even some elven myths were gradually seduced by the primordial forces.
Meanwhile, within the central temple of the elven holy city, a fierce argument was erupting among the elven gods…
