Chapter 303: About Ms. Trish Diana’s Matters
Perhaps because of its sailor life, the turtle had a good talent for storytelling.
It climbed onto the stove and sat by the pot where Lolth was boiling water, crossing its arms. The fire from the stove cast half-light and half-shadow on its face, making it seem like it was telling a story by a campfire.
"My lord, first I want to ask you a question… How much do you know about ‘Trish Diana’?"
The turtle asked earnestly.
"The former hero…"
Lolth, unlike other Abyssal Demons, was not entirely ignorant of the matters of the mainland, so she knew about all the famous figures on the continent.
Moreover, Trish Diana was very special to the Abyssal Demons.
"Three thousand years ago, this ‘hero’ single-handedly defeated an evil god, pushed back the Demon Army organized by the Abyssal Demons, and smashed a whole ancient civilization’s ruins to defeat the souls of ancient powerful beings."
Lolth simply recounted the great achievements of Trish Diana.
In fact, even that group of naive and isolated Abyssal Demons could be said to have a few who knew about "Triss Diana."
After all, many demon races in the Abyss are actually long-lived, and the main reason their average lifespan doesn’t improve much is due to an extraordinarily high rate of unnatural deaths in the Abyss.
But there are still some remnants of the Demon Army from three thousand years ago, and even many in this generation of the Demon Army have been associated with the former Demon King.
Just mentioning the name "Tris Diana" makes even these demons shiver.
There is a legend on the mainland that years ago, the "Hero" Trish Diana forced the Demon Army back into the Abyss and even went deep into the Abyss to continue chasing the Demon King of that time.
Many scholars on the main plane have expressed doubts about this story.
But Lolth, this Abyssal Demon, knows… the legend is true.
There is still a scar left by Trish Diana right at her doorstep.
It is about two hundred meters long, over ten meters deep, and also more than ten meters wide, which her mother filled with water to keep Abyssal fancy fish.
When she was little, many older sisters from the Succubus clan told her the story of that pond.
"Look, this is the hero of humanity, the greatest being from the main plane, created by Trish Diana with a single sword strike!"
The turtle nodded when it heard Lolth’s words.
"Indeed, you Abyssal Demons are very familiar with that guy…"
Although it sounded a bit mocking, this time the turtle’s tone was surprisingly serious.
"However, when Trish Diana was acting as a ‘hero,’ these events cannot be called ‘secrets’… What I want to say is what happened after Trish Diana ended her role as a ‘hero.’"
Lolth became interested when she heard the turtle say this.
"I really didn’t know that, please tell me more."
"I was just about to explain, don’t rush," the turtle waved its hand, leaned forward, and cleared its throat. "The last recorded event of Trish Diana acting as a ‘hero’… should be when the ‘dungeon’ built by ancient civilization appeared in the southern part of the continent, causing countless casualties, and she went to put a stop to it."
"I know that, and after that, Trish Diana disappeared. Some say she died, while others say she went into hiding," Lolth said calmly, "Until 1,700 years later, which is just over 900 years ago, a person claiming to be her ‘descendant’ appeared in South Sotua… back then it was part of the Sotua United Kingdom, and she became active as a mercenary."
"Yes, that was the founder of the ‘Diana Family,’ the origin of the ‘Golden Peacock Dynasty.’ This is not too much of a secret among many forces on the continent," the turtle said with a mysterious expression, "But, you know… that person claiming to be her descendant should actually be her daughter."
Hearing this, Lolth was stunned.
"What on earth?"
She was truly shocked by this news.
Because it clearly meant two things.
Either Trish Diana has lived for over two thousand years.
Or her daughter has lived for more than seventeen hundred years.
Or it is also possible that Trish Diana has lived for fifteen hundred, and her daughter has lived for over two thousand…
But no matter which one, it is impossible for humans!
Even if she is a "hero"!
In fact, because she is a "hero," she has an even harder time breaking through the limits of her lifespan.
She is a beneficiary of the continent’s rules and the Plane Will made visible, so it is particularly difficult for her to break those rules!
The longest-lived human strong person, as long as they do not cross the vast divide between humans and gods, probably has a maximum lifespan of less than a thousand years.
Even if they try every possible way to extend their lives, an eight-hundred-year-old human Superoperator is already rare in the world.
Most people die after living three to five hundred years.
This is very sad for humans; even if they surpass legends and reach the Holy Domain or higher, they still cannot outlive ordinary individuals among long-lived races like elves, dragons, and elemental beings.
This world is not fair to individuals.
Although, overall, in both the Abyss and the mainland plane, it is races like humans, dwarves, orcs, trolls, Little Devils, and Balrogs with relatively short average lifespans that dominate.
Still, no matter how you look at it, Trish Diana and her daughter living together for more than three thousand years is just unbelievable.
"Could it be that these two women have changed their race? They can’t have become gods, can they?"
Lolth couldn’t help but comment.
This was the only idea she could think of that could allow humans to break the limit of their lifespan, besides becoming gods.
Although changing one’s race is actually not easier than becoming a god; in fact, it seems even a bit harder.
After all, there have been some who have truly become gods; many deities have appeared on the continent throughout history.
However, Lolth had never heard of a successful case or a good outcome from changing one’s race.
Most of the time, people ended up turning into mindless monsters or simply died on the spot.
But if Trish Diana had become a god, it would definitely not go unnoticed.
None of the known deities on the continent match her time and characteristics.
Moreover, in principle… a "brave one" should not become a god.
"No change in race, and no becoming a god," the turtle looked at Lolth with a somewhat sly smile, "It’s hard to guess, right? Well, I will give you a hint…"
"Although she hasn’t become a god, she can use the power and help from other divine beings to achieve this, you know?"
