Do you all know the future?

Chapter 96 Lord of Unification
Diane was filled with trepidation, unsure of the Queen's opinion. Generally, if the Queen wanted to possess the spiritual essence, Diane would still have a chance. However, if the Queen was politically sensitive and it seemed troublesome, Diane would have to find another way out.

However, as the first rays of dawn illuminated the harbor, Diane, who had just disembarked from the magic ship, had her head pressed against the Queen's chest by the Queen's large hand, who was already waiting at the harbor. It seemed that Diane no longer needed to think too much.

Diane sensed the Queen's intense emotions. Her heart pounded so hard that Diane couldn't understand why the Queen would lose her composure, since they hadn't gotten to this point.

The attitude wasn't rejection, but complete acceptance. The queen was cool and aloof, but her heart was burning with passion. Diane felt as if she were surrounded by flames.

Beneath the ice lies a raging fire, its surface icy and its interior scorching, perfectly capturing Her Majesty's duality of cold and heat.

Diane could only guess that he was the Queen's first man, which made him seem special. Otherwise, she couldn't understand why the Queen would worry about him so much when they had only met a few times.

"My prince, you've returned!"

In front of the nobles on Diane's ship who had been washed ashore by the waves and had not been able to climb back onto their own ships, but were ultimately rescued by Diane, the Queen kissed Diane's forehead, like a beautiful woman offering a kiss to a returning hero, thus officially confirming Diane's identity.

Forget about the holy blood; Diane brought back the Holy Lance, making her the Queen's consort, and the Queen accepted the marriage.

This disappointed the female knight. The escaped nobles had already sent back the news that the Queen knew Diane's identity but still chose to marry him and protect him, just as Bridget had said.

"We'll hold our wedding in three days. Let's stay at the palace first. You don't need to go to the Investigation Bureau or the academy anymore. We'll wait for our wedding!"

The Queen, acting forcefully, decided that Diane's residence was unsafe and the allure of the Holy Blood was too great, fearing that someone might take the risk. Therefore, she directly arranged for Diane to live in the Royal Palace.

The Queen really wanted to hold the wedding today, but the ceremony simply couldn't be arranged. Not to mention inviting foreign nobles, even the countrymen weren't prepared. Under extreme circumstances, three days was the shortest time available; normally it would take several months.

It's not that the Queen is concerned with rituals at times like this, but rather that rituals are essential activities for the royal family. Without rituals, recognition is not granted, and procedures are very important.

This decision disappointed the nobles who had gathered to watch the news. Holy blood, holy-level spirituality—what an honor it would be to have it injected into their own bloodline!

The ladies were already drooling just thinking about it, but unfortunately the Queen was really protective of her food, and actually let Diane live in the palace, not giving anyone else a chance.

Does Her Majesty know about my spirituality?

Diane peeked out and couldn't help but ask. Because of the power factor, Queen Tudor's political skills were far superior to Queen Greta's. Diane didn't believe she couldn't understand the reason behind it.

"Of course I know, it's my honor to be worthy of you, Your Highness. Don't worry, I will treat you well!"

The Queen stroked Diane's back and breathed into her ear, understanding what Diane meant from both perspectives.

Whether it's love or politics, the Queen has accepted this challenge. Once Diane's spirituality matures, Tudor will be more prosperous than Ishtar. However, right now, it will be a time of pressure.

"Come on, let's go home!"

Releasing Diane, the Queen took her hand with her cool, jade-like hand and led her into the same carriage.

The Queen took Diane away, but those who remained were all talking about Diane.

Holy Blood, Queen Greta, the invitation of the evil god, Diane's refusal, the newly emerged demigod...

For Diane, the transition was very smooth, but to others it seemed exaggerated.

Firstly, to prevent outsiders from prying into her life, Queen Greta Thunberg, who never married, actually had a son, which brought tears to the eyes of many fans, who felt their idol's image had been ruined.

Secondly, Diane's appearance is reminiscent of her "father," a humiliating and helpless situation caused by an outsider getting the strongest demigod in the area pregnant.

Also, during this marriage selection event, Diane accidentally found the Holy Lance using the fish. Now it has been modified so that Diane and the Holy Lance sense each other and thus discovered the Holy Lance.

Diane faced the evil god with courage and unyielding spirit, just like her mother. While the nobles were terrified, Diane was able to talk to the evil god and was willing to sacrifice herself to save the others.

Finally, the kiss from the demigod mermaid shows that Diane is not only good at seducing angels, but also demigods.

Rumors and exaggerated stories were spread layer by layer, creating ripples through the spiritual realm and in various other ways, disrupting the entire material world and even the entire spiritual realm.

The first couple to be discussed was Terri and Joo. The couple had been in a cold war for a long time, but today Joo took the initiative to apologize to Terri.

"Tari, I understand now. You're right. You must have known Prince An's identity all along!"

Qiao was excited, his face flushed with excitement. He had initially had reservations about his wife getting close to Diane, but now he only felt honored.

Spirituality is the passport to this world. A spiritual being recognized by an evil god is one hundred percent Queen Greta's child, and it is not an exaggeration to call him Your Highness.

"You're so annoying! What does it matter if I know or I don't!"

Terri was very upset because Tudor's acceptance of Diane meant that Diane would not return to Ishtar, which dashed her hopes. Naturally, she took her frustration out on her husband, whom she already disliked.

She didn't know that Diane could never go to Ishtar, but could continue eastward to the Eastern Continent, the ancestral home of Diane's appearance.

"Have you received His Highness's favor? Will His Highness maintain a long-term relationship with you?"

Qiao asked expectantly, "It's a shameful and stupid thing for a wife to cheat, but if the wife is the possessor of the Holy Blood of Infidelity, then it's a bad thing that turns into a good thing!"
"You're disgusting! What are you thinking?!"

The scene in the diary was recreated, and Terri deeply felt the emotions she had when writing the diary: disgust, loathing, anger, and disappointment in Joao, but after all, he was her husband.

“It’s not about what I think, but what you do. You and His Highness are so compatible. Since you didn’t become an angel, there is a great hope that you can give birth to a child who will inherit His Highness’s spirituality.”

Qiao calculated in his mind that getting close to Diane's wife before Diane was exposed would give him an excellent chance of conceiving, and he also had the best physical condition for conception.

"Your Highness and I only kissed, so don't even think about it. Can kissing produce a baby?"

Terri responded coldly, her fists clenched tightly, as if she wanted to punch Joao in the face.

"Just a kiss? What a pity... You can keep trying and try to get pregnant with His Highness's child as soon as possible. You said you were asked to go see His Highness a few days ago, what were you being so reserved about?"

Qiao looked regretful and instead blamed Terry for not going to see Diane a few days ago.

"I can go see His Highness An if I want to, and I can stay away if I don't want to. It's all my freedom!"

Taili turned her head away without batting an eye, feeling increasingly angry and frustrated, as both her career and family life had failed.

"Don't be angry. I'm doing this for Ishtar. Queen Greta's bloodline is too thin. As Ishtar people, we still hope for Ishtar blood, don't we? Not the blood of the Tudor Queen and vampires."

At this moment, Joao once again claimed to be an Ishtar human, and Terri cursed him inwardly for being shameless!
"Don't be upset. Look, if we hadn't come to Tudor, we might have missed the moment when Prince An's spirituality was revealed. Besides, Prince An has already left Ishtar."

Seeing that Terri still didn't speak, Joao spoke gently, "This Tudor really made the right choice, escaping Ishtar and even meeting Diane. I know what I'm doing, leave me alone!"

She came of her own accord; Qiao was just an excuse. She was there to find Diane. When she saw Qiao taking credit, she couldn't stand it anymore and started making excuses for her treason.

"It's good that you know what's going on. You also know how rare Saint-level spiritual beings are. Even when Her Majesty the Queen repeatedly stated that she would never marry, she still had countless suitors."

Qiao thought his wife had softened her stance and stopped pressuring Terry, emphasizing the preciousness of spirituality.

Because Terry couldn't beat Joo, their conversation went relatively smoothly, but the Queen and Uti on the other side weren't so harmonious.

"How can An's spirituality be holy blood? This is different from what you said."

After settling Diane into a chair in the room and leaving Bridget and Diane to chat, the Queen herself appeared in the private room, where a bewildered Uti stood before her.

"How would I know? History books record that Emperor An's spirit was that of a saint, not a saint. This isn't spiritual, it's not spiritual at all!"

Uti was incoherent, but her memory clearly told her what Diane's spirituality was, how the evil god could identify her as having holy blood, and Diane didn't even refute it.

"So you need to give me an explanation for why everything I've been given so far has been wrong!"

Although the Queen has now fallen in love with Diane, she cannot forgive Uti for his intelligence errors. If such crucial information has been flawed, who knows how many more errors will occur in future information?

"There must be something wrong, there must be something wrong, wait, I understand..."

Uti broke out in a cold sweat as she faced the unfriendly-looking queen, racking her brains for a response and searching through all the clues in official and unofficial histories. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck her.

"What do you understand?"

If Uti can't give a clear answer today, the Queen won't let her off easily.

"Andy's mother is confirmed to be Queen Greta, but what about Andy's father? We still don't know who Andy's father is, or who could possibly catch Queen Greta's eye!"

Uti's tone was initially uncertain, but then became more fluent and firm.

"You mean, the saint's spirituality comes from Ann's father?"

The Queen wasn't stupid; after Uti deduced this, she began to consider the possibilities.

“That’s right. A man who can catch Queen Greta’s eye is naturally not an ordinary spiritual being. Andi’s father possessed the spirituality of a saint, which is why Queen Greta took a liking to him.”

"In my future, a year after Andi awakened his spirituality, he chose Saint over Saint because Holy Blood was too conspicuous. This time, in order to gain Dean Isabella's trust more quickly, Andi chose Holy Blood, since Dean Isabella was a loyal follower of Queen Greta."

Uti's seemingly plausible analysis made some sense, and the Queen's expression softened, as if she had accepted Uti's explanation.

This also explains Diane's birth and why she and Queen Greta bear no resemblance whatsoever, because her father was no less than her mother, and in fact, he had already ascended to godhood.

"Never mind, when did An in history demonstrate saint-level spirituality?"

The Queen stared at Uti for a long time with her icy blue eyes. Thinking that it was Uti who brought her and Diane together and seized Diane, this ultimate potential stock, she raised her eyes slightly and decided not to make things difficult for Uti.

"The day the Storm Goddess awakens will be around the year after next. At that time, the Breeze Church is facing siege from other churches and has made a desperate choice to summon a god. The summoning is successful, but the god that descends has no rationality and launches indiscriminate attacks. In the end, it is restrained by Andi, but at that time, the Breeze Church's face was taken into consideration and the matter was concealed."

Uti recalled that she was not a history major, but she only vaguely remembered Diane's story, which has been told for centuries.

"The year after next, alas, the Holy Blood..."

The Queen looked troubled, because of the butterfly effect; the difficulties she faced now were more difficult than those she would face in the future.

With Queen Greta as an example, including her, everyone had high expectations for Diane, hoping that Diane would replicate Queen Greta's miracles. At the same time, the gods would not stand idly by and allow a Queen Greta-like figure to rise up, unless she was on their side.

Is the blood of the Holy One really that coveted?

Uti, who traveled from a later era, did not understand the world's reverence for the Holy Blood, because the brilliant Andi appeared in the later era, overshadowing the influence of Greta's time.

Queen Greta was very strong, but compared to Diane's later achievements in unifying the material world and exploring the starry sea, she was far inferior.

"The top three Saint-level spiritualities, possibly even the number one one, Queen Greta used it to achieve an unprecedented feat: a mortal killing a god! It also elevated this spirituality to a height that does not belong to it."

“In your time, An probably considered it too ostentatious and had no choice. Now that it’s been exposed, it’s going to cause headaches. It’s too precious.”

Queen Tudor accepted Uti's proposal to keep Diane firmly bound to Tudor while simultaneously resisting the covetousness of other kingdoms and gods.

"There's a god behind Andi, so what's there to be afraid of? Even if the Storm Goddess has a problem, the god behind Andi is surely alright, right? It was this god who helped Andi suppress Lady Tina back then!"

Uti, however, was quite optimistic. He believed that Diane was able to conquer the material world because the god behind her was powerful enough to conquer the gods of the spirit realm, and the two complemented each other.

"Oh right, there's a deity standing behind Ann. I completely forgot about that. Could you tell me more about this great deity?"

The Queen's brows relaxed, and the stiff person slowly began to show a relaxed posture. Most of the pressure on her body was relieved, and she discovered a backup option.

"This ruler of unification is exceptionally powerful. According to subsequent descriptions, she possesses the laws of space and can easily tear apart the divine domains of gods..."

Uti spoke from a perspective she was more familiar with: the Queen had previously harbored resentment towards this goddess because she had protected Diane, and Diane had turned her into a weapon.

Things are different now; this is my husband's god, so I believe in him to some extent.

"If such a powerful god exists, why is Anta hiding?"

"Ok?"

The head maid who was feeding Diane paused for a moment.

"what happened?"

"Nothing's wrong? There are bread crumbs on Master's lips."

The head maid gently wiped Diane's lips with a handkerchief.
