The Godfall War that shattered the entire Garden of Eden seems to have truly ended.
After the Pale God and Jonah, the Primordial God of Death, flew into the sky together and then exploded in the universe, these two gods never appeared again.
There are currently no descriptions or opinions about the fourth dimension, so no one can speculate that Pale God might have ascended to a higher dimension.
Even Abraham believed that His Majesty had been blown into outer space in that massive explosion and would not be able to return for the time being.
Perhaps the lower classes of Garden of Eden believe that the wicked Pale Devil is truly dead, but only those truly in the first echelon know that their peaceful existence means His Majesty is definitely not dead!
This resulted in the end of the Godfall War not bringing a satisfactory outcome to the Southern Continent, or even to the Garden of Eden.
A gloom still lingered in the hearts of all those in the upper class.
It was the year 92 of Norton, two weeks after the final act of the Godfall War.
The sun shone faintly, seemingly offering some relief from the previous absolute darkness, but the night still shrouded the entire Garden of Eden in darkness.
Such weather provided the Vampire race with the greatest advantage.
With the support of Elizabeth Abraham, the Blood Progenitor of Blood Progenitor, rebuilt the Pale Holy See and reinstated Maria I, the Vampire queen, to rule in her stead, thus establishing the legitimacy of the Southern Continent.
This outcome left the few remaining survivors of the Southern Continent in despair, their hearts filled with despair.
After a war that wiped out 90% of the population of the entire Southern Continent, the situation Southern Continent remained completely unchanged. How could this not be disappointing?
This war, which should have determined the change of the century, ended with such a Pale God who died, but Pale Holy See that did not perish—this is truly unacceptable!
However, the Northern Continent Emperor Jacob disappeared without a trace, and the East Continent suffered heavy losses due to an earthquake, with all the main combat forces sent there being wiped out. This allowed the Southern Continent, which had previously been besieged and conquered, to regain its autonomy.
Thus, in the ninety-second year of Norton, Queen Maria of the Vampire officially ascended the throne at the former site of the Pale Holy See, changing the era name once again to "The Age of Maria," officially beginning her second reign as Queen Maria.
Although it's called a reign, Maria is still merely a figurehead.
Real power remained firmly in Abraham's hands.
From the day Queen Maria ascended the throne, the Southern Continent entered into a period of intense reconquest, population census, and arduous post-war reconstruction.
Thanks to the mysterious disappearance of Emperor Jacob of the Northern Continent and the strong anti-war sentiment caused by years of war, the remaining soldiers of the Northern Continent Southern Continent surrendered without a fight, making the overall recovery of the Southern Continent exceptionally rapid.
On the contrary, the native inhabitants of the Southern Continent and the puppet troops conscripted from the Northern Continent, who had rebelled, persisted in their resistance, claiming that they wanted to establish a country without an emperor.
When Norton was in power, no matter how brutal the policies he implemented, no matter how fierce or tenacious the resistance was across the Southern Continent, the Pale Holy See's army, and indeed the entire Holy Empire system, would crush all resistance like a giant fist of steel.
Now that Norton is gone, even though there are only a few puppet troops and rebellious cities, Abraham still finds them difficult to conquer.
Wherever his fist points, contradictions and problems abound.
For example, logistical pressures, the army's fighting spirit, the retreat of frontline troops, and the already collapsed economy within the country...
Abraham suddenly realized that war and governing a country were unimaginably difficult things!
Why didn't Your Majesty have so many problems when you were alive?
The Southern Continent had already suffered heavy casualties, with less than one-tenth of its population remaining, so it was naturally impossible for it to wage war again.
Therefore, Abraham could only allow rebellious cities to govern themselves, but he did not allow them to establish their own kingdoms. Instead, he required them to submit to the Holy Empire as autonomous regions in order to maintain territorial integrity and prevent other countries from deploying troops to attempt to split the empire.
Unfortunately, the casualties in this Godfall War were simply too heavy.
Even so, the Southern Continent remained in a state of absolute misery.
"Your Highness, the statistics are in."
Alexander Abraham's newly recruited henchman, pushed open the door and entered. As soon as he entered, he knelt down respectfully, holding a huge statistical report in his hands and facing Abraham was standing by the window.
In just one year, Abraham's image had changed drastically.
He was wearing a classic court shirt in dark red and black, embroidered with dark red patterns, and with silk trim at the collar and sleeves, making him look dignified and solemn.
Combined with his aged physique and aloof, dignified demeanor, he truly possessed the air of an ancient Europe emperor.
Abraham has made a name for himself again.
Now they've even put the title "Your Highness" on it.
Moreover, the room where he now lives and works is also built strictly according to the old Boya Empire royal system. The room is spacious, and the entire room is covered with various luxurious tables, chairs and animal skin carpets collected at great expense. Although there is no gold and silver luxury, the luxury and nobility contained in this classic and heavy style are in no way inferior.
Norton had only been dead for a short time, and Abraham had already become so extravagant; clearly, there was a precedent to follow!
"Oh... it's Alexander! Don't rush the statistics; the most important thing is to collect silver from across the country. My Vampire clan has a deep-seated fear of silver. Even we Prince have suffered greatly from silver. We must be on guard!"
Take the War of the Gods' Fall, for example. If it weren't for the despicable Northern Continent mixing silver dust into the bombs, how could my Pale Holy See's fifty-three Blood Progenitor have suffered such heavy casualties!
"Yes, Your Highness!" Alexander immediately nodded in agreement, bowing his head respectfully.
His face appeared respectful, but his eyes, which were lowered, flickered with a hint of self-reflection.
The Pale Holy See seems to share a consistent character.
"Alright, you may leave now. Continue to monitor His Majesty's movements, and report to me immediately if you discover anything!"
"Yes, Your Highness!" Alexander replied respectfully, then surprisingly, instead of standing up, he used his two knees to slowly move his body out!
Abraham's gaze lingered on the closed door after he left, a cold glint in his eyes.
"Hmph, trash, trying to pull this on me? I, Abraham, already did that over a thousand years ago in the Old Holy Lord Empire!"
Only then did he sit back down behind the luxurious golden nanmu wood table and pick up the report that Alexander had just submitted.
