Chapter 1001: Chapter 475: Time Sand (First Update)

"They seemed to know a lot about me too. They knew what I liked to eat, and every arrangement they made suited me perfectly."

"They kept stressing that only I could save their daughter. Even I didn’t know my whip had Holy Light, yet they somehow seemed to know long beforehand."

Lawrence Winters almost started counting on her fingers. "And what’s even stranger is, every time they appeared, I could see dark-golden dust, fine and thin, like the grains of sand on a white beach."

"But whenever I tried to take a closer look at that dust, it would vanish without a trace almost immediately."

The old Daoist was very interested in this phenomenon and questioned Lawrence Winters in great detail.

"The first time they saw you, they already felt very familiar with you?"

"Mm, that’s right."

"And they were also very familiar with your tastes and preferences?"

"Yeah, and they were very respectful to me too."

"And they were sure that only you could save their daughter?"

"Yes, absolutely sure. Later it was also proven that they were right." Lawrence sighed. "And what’s even more outrageous is, their daughter was saved, but they died."

"I just got the news: they returned to the cruise ship five days ago, but the second day the cruise ship had an accident, and they died out on the high seas."

The old Daoist fell silent. After quite a while, he said, "...Lawrence, since they found you and you helped them, that means there must be this karmic connection between you."

Lawrence Winters nodded. "I understand that now. But I still feel it’s such a pity. Why did they work so hard to save their daughter, only to die themselves? They clearly said nothing was more important than their daughter, but in the end they still went back to the cruise ship to sign that contract..."

"If it wasn’t for that contract, maybe their daughter wouldn’t have gone through that danger at all."

Lawrence went over the matter of Alice Blythe’s cousin William once more. "...Look at that, there are hidden masters abroad too. Someone out there is even using such powerful Black Magic."

The old Daoist listened, his brows knitting even tighter.

He had originally planned to gloss things over and muddle Lawrence Winters through this.

He had almost succeeded.

But after hearing Lawrence talk about that recently deceased couple from the Blythe family, and that dark-golden dust, he felt he could no longer keep it from her.

Some things should be said to Lawrence Winters—to at least give her a warning, so she’d have some sense of what’s going on.

The old Daoist stood up, closed the wide-open window, and then went to check the door of his room, making sure it was tightly shut.

The door of his room was covered with thick cowhide, and the soundproofing was excellent.

Only after he finished checking the doors and windows did the old Daoist sit back down on the bamboo couch and say to Lawrence, solemnly, "Lawrence, what Great-Grandmaster is about to tell you, you alone need to remember. You mustn’t tell anyone else—not even your mother or your master, understand?"

"That serious?" Lawrence couldn’t help straightening up. "I really can’t tell them? They’re the most important people to me."

"I’m telling you not to say anything because I don’t want them to worry about you."

Hearing this, Lawrence agreed at once. "I understand. Please go on."

The old Daoist turned off the speakerphone, picked up the handset of the landline, and said, enunciating each word, "This still has to do with your Soft Whip."

"Your Soft Whip has a name: Black Rider. It truly is made from extremely rare materials. I don’t actually know if its core is tendons from a flood dragon or not. But the gold threads in it are smelted from Pure gold mixed with a very rare material."

"That material is an extract from a meteorite from outer space. Because it has very special properties, it can behave like a quantum particle and undergo quantum entanglement."

"A material capable of quantum entanglement is naturally able to break through the constraints of three-dimensional space and enter a higher level: Four-Dimensional Space."

"Three-dimensional space is the space we are in now; it has the three dimensions of length, width, and height."

"And Four-Dimensional Space is what you get when you add the factor of time to length, width, and height."

"Once you add the variable of time to length, width, and height, it becomes Four-Dimensional Space."

"Four-Dimensional Space is a higher-level space than our three-dimensional space, and originally it could only be observed in the microscopic world."

"But because this substance appeared, theoretically speaking, Four-Dimensional Space became a reality that could be observed at the macroscopic level."

"However, after I conducted experiments for a very long time, I finally concluded that ordinary people cannot break through the limits of three-dimensional space and enter Four-Dimensional Space."

"So later I abandoned that experiment and smelted those extracts together with Pure gold, producing some dark-golden dust."
