Chapter 317: Chapter 315 Diana’s Rebirth

Secret Phoenix State’s Mysterious Side has always been rife with rumors about the Merada Witch Group, the Immortal Council, and the Seven Ancestor Alliance.

Among these, a recognized and even officially recorded version of origin exists within institutions like the Church and the Ancient Castle Bureau.

The source of this version is distinctly Esmeralda’s comic “Immortal Legend”.

Just as Tang Qi had speculated earlier, the comic served a popular science purpose, informing the Ancestor Descendants about what exactly happened that fateful night.

But now, the real protagonist has appeared.

Personally telling everyone, “You are mistaken.”

It seems that due to wandering in the Exotic Realm for centuries and being imprisoned by a monster, the Earl now has an intense desire to speak, becoming verbose once again. She also noticed the confused gazes falling on Esmeralda.

It seemed she also realized that the misunderstanding originated from this Witch Leader.

However, she did not immediately act against Esmeralda but instead, while doing something cruel and horrifying to the Chief Maid—commanding the tentacles to slowly pry open the Chief Maid’s skull—she began to narrate the “real truth.”

A truth that needed concealment in the past but can now be revealed without concern.

“My entire life has been dedicated to pursuing immortality, knowing there are people in this world with a constitution called ‘Immortals,’ naturally the most suitable vessels for Divine incarnation, which many Exotic Realm Gods desired to embody on Origin Blue Star.”

“Unable to come in their original form, they would separate a part of their Original Divinity to reside within the Immortal bodies. Once nurtured to completion, they would become an immensely powerful divine embodiment.”

“My daughter, Diana, is one of these Immortals.”

“Years ago, I stole her from a mysterious place and concealed her aura using special methods. Except for me, no one knew she was an Immortal and that her body housed the Source Power of an Exotic Realm God.”

“My task was to wait for the day of maturity to seize that portion of Original Divinity, and from there, ascend as a Divine Being.”

“For all this, I endured for over a decade, raising Diana from a Little One to a perfect young lady. She was so perfect, so dazzling, kind-hearted and much more noble and perfect than any of those so-called beauties of the Federation—no, a hundred, no, ten thousand times more.”

“If it weren’t for the Divinity, I truly wouldn’t have wanted to kill her.”

As the Earl spoke, a rare shadow of sorrow appeared on his eerily charming face.

But soon, the sorrow turned into anger.

“Finally, she came of age, and after I conducted a grand coming-of-age ceremony for her, the Original Divinity within her had also finally matured, soon I would be able to devour that sweet, strong Divinity.”

“Just days later, a strange plague erupted, no, it wasn’t just any plague, but an unknown malicious Pollution mixed with a terribly vicious curse, all to save those foolish, contemptible Subjects.”

“This Little Guy, Diana, she actually went behind my back and voluntarily entered the epidemic area. The Divinity within her clashed with the curses and Pollution in the plague, ultimately dispersing the plague, but that portion of Original Divinity was also contaminated.”

“Diana fell into a deep sleep, and despite my best efforts, I was unable to purge the contamination from her divinity. Ultimately, I had to exhaust all means, gathering Wizards, Knights, Polymaths… any Transcendent from any camp, as long as they could cleanse the divinity of pollution, they would become my honored guests.”

“I must admit, these Transcendents had some capability; though they were unable to completely remove the contamination from the divinity, they succeeded in splitting the divinity in two, transferring all the contamination and curses into one half.”

“As for me, I could first devour the other half, and then, using the power of time, gradually cleanse the other half of divinity from contamination and curses. Although this delayed my time to achieve divinity, I had no reason to oppose this method.”

“Just when I was about to do so, this group of Transcendents unexpectedly discovered the truth. They found out that Diana was an Immortal. I had to act early, for I could not let them leave alive. Once the secret that Diana is an Immortal and what lies within the Earl’s Domain leaked, I would inevitably have to face that insane crowd…”

“That very night, I first devoured half of the divinity, then killed all the Transcendents, although there was a small mishap during the process. Among those Transcendents, there was one who possessed the bloodline of a Space Wizard. He paid with his life to expel me.”

“I killed all the Transcendents and kept the secret, but the remaining half of the contaminated divinity lingered in the castle, creating a dozen Lucky Ones.”

“Of course, as these Lucky Ones possessed power, they had to face the formidable pollution and even a curse that I could not handle myself. Isn’t fate always so fair?”

As the Earl finished speaking, the skull of the Chief Maid Ancestor in front of him had been completely opened.

Fresh brain, exposed.

The Earl paid no attention to the people who were shocked because of her “new story.”

She dipped a finger into the brain pulp and put it in her mouth.

Instantly, the Chief Maid began to wail.

But the Earl closed her eyes, as if savoring the taste or receiving some memories.

When she opened her eyes again, a flash of joy immediately swept across her face.

“Immortal Count Samuel Winston, he is a hero, a tycoon, an Explorer, and an incredibly sincere father. To resurrect his beloved daughter Diana, he could pay any price. He will return from Purgatory when the Mysterious Meteor passes through Blue Star for the second time, and the Purple Moon Radiance is completely devoured. He will reclaim the Divine Blood to resurrect his daughter…”

“Wow, what a fascinating and touching fairy tale, I absolutely love it.”

“And there’s even a comic, and I’m the main character, how I want to see it.”

The Earl, like a giddy fan, exaggeratedly shouted, even momentarily losing her interest in the Black Mud.

Her gaze pierced through the void and directly landed on Esmeralda.

With a face that no one could refuse, she smiled at Esmeralda and said, “Speaking of which, your Ancestor Merada is one of my favorite little maids. Ah, I remember she was brought back together with Diana, she was just five years older than Diana. The little guy always called her Sister.”

“That’s also why, after I killed Diana, I had her bury her corpse.”

“Since Merada survived, she must know some truths. What I didn’t expect was that she would cover for me, it seems I really do have a knack for being a father, the children all like me.”

“About the comic, may I take a look? Perhaps I could give you… an autograph?”

The Earl’s seemingly careless words revealed information that left everyone utterly shocked.

The First Generation Witch, was a maid adopted by the Earl?

And, she had a good relationship with Diana?

Was the truth about the Immortal Earl concealed by the First Generation Witch?

At this moment, numerous doubts echoed in everyone’s minds.

While the Witch Leader Esmeralda, under the Earl’s gaze, suddenly smiled.

Facing her new fan, she said with a smile, “Very well!”

As her voice fell, she voluntarily walked towards the Life Forbidden Zone.

As the leader, the other witches couldn’t stop her, and neither could the church’s strongmen or Jason Raphael.

After a flash of radiance, her figure disappeared on the spot.

When she reappeared, she had already stepped into the Forbidden Zone.

Her body harbored the bloodline power of the Ancestor “Merada,” which also originated from the polluted Divinity.

Thus, the Life Forbidden Zone could not kill her.

However, her strength could not compare to the Ancestors’. Upon entering, the magic power in her body was drained, and her life force significantly diminished. Everyone watched as she transformed from an ageless female manga artist into an old woman wearing glasses.

Even the powerful Witch Leader was not spared.

It is not hard to understand then, why those dozens of Wild Transcendents died.

Also, it makes the horrifying nature of this so-called “Corpse Holy Grail,” a Curio preserved by the Church since the Old Calendar Era, clearer.

Meanwhile, the Immortal Earl, within it, was as comfortable as a Sovereign.

She, somewhat impatiently, threw out a tentacle, wrapping it around the old woman Esmeralda had become, and shifted her to the front.

The Witch Leader did not resist, or perhaps could not resist.

Soon, their two vastly different faces came together, and the Earl’s smile vanished instantly as she stared at Esmeralda, mockingly said, “Come then, let me, both father and master, see what Merada has prepared for me, and who this so-called Daughter of Destiny is?”

“This is the dessert after dinner, I can’t wait.”

Bound Esmeralda also smiled.

Then, she spoke.

But the next moment, the voice that sounded was not hers, but a male voice, sounding abruptly.

“Before meeting the Daughter of Destiny, why not first meet your daughter, Diana Winston.”

“Speaking of which, you still owe her a proper farewell!”

“Hmm?”

“Boom”

A reflexive caution made the Earl forcefully throw the bound Esmeralda away, but it could not prevent a mass of bloody, muddled flesh from flying out from the Witch Leader in mid-air. It expanded and flipped with a “bang”.

Three figures appeared before the Immortal Earl.

Her gaze immediately skipped Tang Qi, first shocked by Sally, then she saw a slowly descending “corpse.”

Diana’s corpse!

Despite centuries having passed, she still recognized this “daughter” she had raised for over a decade.

In pursuit of immortality, the daughter she had personally killed.

As Tang Qi said, she indeed owed her a farewell, a perpetual farewell.

Diana had perished hundreds of years ago.

Just as the Earl contemplated this thought, preparing to devour the “uninvited guests” before her.

An incredible scene unfolded before everyone’s eyes.

That corpse… was reborn.

“Boom”

An unknown Divine Radiance enveloped the corpse.

The desiccated bones turned white, flesh regrew, organs, blood vessels, skin… a sacred, perfect young girl’s body was being born.

Anyone who had seen the “Immortal Legend” comics could recognize her.

She was the brightest jewel of the Earl’s Domain, the most holy and merciful girl in the entire Federation.

Diana Winston!
