Chapter 1841: After Modification: Chapter 558 The Reason the Great Emperor Took the Path of the Witch

Is there a flow of time in this relic space?

Leonard Churchill always thought there was.

Because Lenny had told him, the warning handed down from their Playgod Clan elders was that no more than an hour could be spent inside.

Once you exit, an hour would have passed in the outside world as well.

So, time is flowing.

But now, the Witch Lanlingster before him posed a difficult question.

Since she asked in such a way, she must have some deeper meaning.

Leonard Churchill looked at his pocket watch again, the hands were still moving, and he still found nothing wrong.

The Witch Lanlingster looked at his contemplative appearance, laughed and shook her head, interrupting his thoughts: "What you’re thinking and what I’ve asked are not the same question. In your logic, there’s no problem with time. But in my question, you don’t even understand what time is pointing to."

"Hmm."

It was rare to encounter such a top-tier figure; Leonard Churchill would never pretend to understand when he didn’t.

He acknowledged his ignorance candidly and modestly sought guidance, "So, you mean that time does not flow in this space?"

The Witch Lanlingster didn’t answer but instead asked back, "Before answering that question, I want to hear what you think the essence of time is?"

...

Time is one of the supreme cosmic rules.

Even though Leonard had a mere touch of it, he couldn’t clearly explain what it was.

Leonard Churchill pondered for a while and tentatively shared his insight, "Is time an illusion of perception?"

"Hmm... Interesting."

The Witch Lanlingster listened, a slight and enchanting smile appearing on her stunning face.

She then added, "You should not have reached such an understanding at your current realm. Did a God Tier guide you?"

Leonard realized his eighth rank as a card master truly didn’t count for much.

The higher the rank, the more one understands; that feeling of knowing nothing about the universe becomes stronger.

He honestly replied, "I once received guidance from an Elder named Clinton in the Catastrophe Domain of an Underworld Train."

He had once traveled on that train with time domain along with Catherine Carter and Elder Clinton in the Summer Pasture Town Ruins.

Looking back now, it was Elder Clinton’s guidance that saved his life.

"Oh? You encountered Bazeks’ Ghost Train?"

Upon hearing this, the Witch Lanlingster seemed to realize something and said, "Quite a fortune... In that case, it makes sense. But before answering this question, you need to know what this relic is..."

...

"Ah... Isn’t this the Inheritance Treasure of the Playgod Clan?"

Leonard Churchill looked at her stunning face with a curious look.

Ever since drinking that glass of wine just now, he knew this [Mist Legacy Relics] was not as simple as he thought.

Its true value was not just those fragments of consciousness, nor the magical Soul Wine in this tavern, not even the consciousness fragment of the Great Emperor before him.

At least not entirely.

"Yes. But they used it incorrectly."

The Witch Lanlingster lazily swirled the wine in the goblet and recounted the origin of this relic, "This relic is indeed the Inheritance Secret Treasure of the Playgod Clan. They originally had a way to enter. But the previous inheritor’s soul was too weak, he didn’t dare to come into the mist. And you just recklessly came to the Rose Tavern. Thought that the Playgod Clan’s inheritance was severed."

...

Upon hearing this, Leonard Churchill thought to himself, as expected.

He was sure that Lenny had not hidden anything from him; the only explanation was that the Playgod Clan’s inheritance had also been interrupted.

Many things passed down orally would be lost or fragmented.

Just like the correct usage of this relic.

And the fact that he could come to this Rose Tavern was very likely due to the guidance of the person in front of him.

After pausing, the Witch Empress continued, "This relic is not just for card masters to strip off mutated consciousness nor to be used as an inheritance carrier... The current inheritors of the Playgod Clan have truly inverted priorities."

...

Leonard Churchill heard the sigh of regret for the decline of the Playgod Clan’s inheritance from her tone.

She continued, "This relic is a Supreme Treasure relating to ’World’. It is also one of the few items that the ’Card Emperor JOKER’ left behind for future generations aside from the fifty-four Demon God Sequence."

"Card Emperor?"

Leonard Churchill didn’t understand what ’World’ meant.

But upon hearing the ’Card Emperor’, he immediately realized that the background of this [Mist Legacy Relics] might be extraordinary.

"Hmm."

The Witch Lanlingster took another sip of wine and said, "The great being who created the Card Master System. This relic is merely a photo he casually took out of boredom."

...

Leonard Churchill listened, and his eye twitched involuntarily.

How powerful must a being be for a casual photo to be a Supreme Treasure?

He then asked, "What do you mean by ’World’?"

The Witch Lanlingster did not explain, "When you can see the figure in the photo, you will understand what it is."

...

Leonard Churchill pondered.

This [Mist Legacy Relics] was just like its name, a hazy gray photo with no visible pattern on it.

Only now did he understand, it was not that there was none, but that he couldn’t see it.

...

"The time in this relic space is different from the time you know. If you haven’t reached that realm, even if I explain it, you may not understand."

The Witch Lanlingster elegantly crossed her legs, the tight black gauze skirt outlining her figure even more gracefully.

She looked at Leonard Churchill and changed the topic, "But seeing as you bought me a drink, I will explain it to you. How much you can comprehend is up to you."
