Chapter 723: Chapter 236: The Birth of a Future Business Tycoon
Leonard Churchill’s mind was in turmoil.
But by now, he was pretty sure that he had indeed traveled back in time a hundred years.
No wonder it felt strangely familiar to look at the girl shining before him though they had just met for the first time.
It wasn’t just because of the exchange of letters, it was also a kind of fateful entanglement.
Their encounter “had already happened” in history.
A hundred years later, Vera Williams found Leonard Churchill in Sinless City and gave him a Stamp;
Leonard Churchill, in turn, used this Stamp to travel back a hundred years and find Miss Anne in Bolton Town.
The former knew about the encounter a hundred years ago, the latter knew about the encounter a hundred years later.
A wondrous life experience.
Leonard Churchill was shocked for the second time.
The first time was when he learned he had traveled to the Magical Card Master World, and the second time was this moment when he realized he had truly traversed through time.
The more Leonard Churchill thought about it, the deeper he went, murmuring to himself, “Tsk tsk… The Time Rules truly are one of the supreme Universe Laws… truly marvelous.”
This feeling was like flipping through a storybook where, from the point of view of the characters, the storyline always advances, and time cannot flow backward;
But from a higher dimension, such time is meaningless.
For instance: from the reader’s perspective.
In the eyes of the reader, the timeline in the story is the specific “pages” of the book.
They are tangible, capable of changing and flowing.
Flip to the first page, and the story begins; flip to the last page, and the story has already ended; or any other page… You could also flip through the pages quickly, read them carefully, or even use a bookmark to pause for a while.
The story has always been there and has never changed.
For the characters within the story, their lives flow ceaselessly from beginning to end.
“So… what is the essence of time, after all?”
Leonard Churchill felt as if his Soul had undergone a subtle change.
It was as if something deep within his Soul had been touched.
He touched upon things he currently could not understand, yet he found this indulgence in wisdom and thought incredibly enjoyable.
In a flash, he thought that perhaps this is the meaning of the fifty-two Professional Sequence pathways “leading to the God Tier” for card masters?
Mere mortals are unable to comprehend the significance of this supreme Universe Law.
Only when the level of life is elevated to a sufficiently high dimension can one see the truth and understand the doubts he now had.
And fortunately, he had that thought.
It was like what the elder Barre Shepherd had taught him, that the moment you realize your “Intention” exists, you truly exist.
That was also the Secret of the Super Tier.
Although Vera Williams felt that the Mr. Sunny before her said some very strange things,
she did not find it odd in her heart at all.
She also had a sense of fateful touch, that inexplicable familiarity, like meeting a long-lost friend.
Not like a stranger she had just met.
Vera Williams asked with a smile, “What’s wrong, Mr. Sunny? Did I just say something that confused you?”
Leonard Churchill’s train of thought returned, and he replied, “No problem. I was just thinking about something else and got distracted, sorry.”
He had no intention of telling Vera Williams his conjecture now.
After all, if he were to start talking about coming from a hundred years in the future, that would be a difficult subject to explain.
Besides, he himself had not figured out many things yet, so it would be better to wait.
Vera Williams asked again, “Mr. Sunny, you haven’t said, how did you come here?”
Leonard Churchill did not plan on dwelling on the complex issue of Time Rules and casually said, “That ‘Super Spacetime Postage Stamp’ guided me here. It made me receive your letter of invitation.”
Upon hearing this, Vera Williams naturally knew what the Stamp was and did not dwell on why the letter had never been sent.
After all, it was a Stamp with magical abilities.
She was just surprised, “Ah… Wasn’t that Stamp called the ‘Dreamer’s Stamp’?”
Leonard Churchill was not surprised to hear this and said, “Oh, by the time I saw it, it already had another name.”
The “Disaster Object,” such a supra-cognitive ancient Relic, reveals to people the power that humans cannot touch only after its function is comprehended.
Like the “super spacetime transport” ability of this Stamp.
This was not a mystery of time and space that humans could master.
Before they could recognize its function, it was just an ordinary stamp to human eyes.
Leonard Churchill asked casually, “Such a magical stamp, where did you get it?”
Vera Williams thought of something and explained, “I liked reading books, so I often spent time alone in the family library. Then one day, I stumbled upon a Stamp in an ancient book on one of the shelves. The story in that book mentioned that it was a stamp that could send a letter to wherever you wished to send it. I happened to have an issue at the time, and I thought about finding someone proficient in the Taron Ancient Language to help me decrypt…”
Upon saying this, the image in her mind automatically returned to the first time she wrote a letter.
It was over two years ago when she had just turned sixteen and had her coming-of-age ceremony.
A girl’s thoughts are always a bit whimsical and romantic.
In truth, she hadn’t mentioned one thing; her wish when she wrote that letter was: hoping that the recipient would be someone proficient in the Taron Ancient Language, kind-hearted, and preferably handsome.
Originally, she thought it was just her wild imagination, but now it seemed that it was a perfect match.
As this small thought surfaced in her mind, Vera Williams sneakily glanced at Leonard Churchill across from her, “I just tried, and to my surprise, it really worked. And I was able to get in touch with Mr. Sunny. Hmm… It’s indeed very fortunate.”
