A Dialogue Beyond Time and Space

Ma Xiaoling was completely bewildered.

Ning Caichen and I come from the same world!?

Wait a minute, let me sort out the situation.

First of all, Ning Caichen lived during the Southern Song Dynasty, while I live in the late 20th century, a difference of about 800 years.

Oh my god!

Eight hundred years ago, I was just having a conversation with people from eight hundred years ago.

Wait a minute, if Ning Caichen was a person from 800 years ago, and he changed the history of the Southern Song, does that mean that huge changes would also occur now?

Ma Xiaoling's pupils constricted, and she jumped straight out of bed.

This joke has gone too far.

Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "Holy crap, group owner, you mean Ma Xiaoling and Ning Caichen are both from the world of <My Date with a Vampire>?"

Little Fairy Yan Lingji: "Wow, does that mean Ma Xiaoling and Ning Caichen are characters from two different time periods?"

Angel Yan: "Two time periods, one in the Southern Song Dynasty, and one in modern times, this..."

Goddess Leona: "Hahaha, this is getting interesting. Tsk tsk, so Ning Caichen is the ancestor of the arrogant little bell, hehe, I'm very curious now, Ning Caichen changed the past, will Ma Xiaoling just disappear?"

Ma Xiaoling: "!!!"

Ma Xiaoling shivered.

Nonsense, disappear!?

Also, what does "Arrogant Little Bell" even mean? Don't just give people nicknames, okay?

Tony Stark: "Is the group admin serious? Are those two really from different points in time in the same world, or not parallel universes?"

Omniscient Li: "Yes, they come from the same world, but there is a time difference of about eight hundred years between them. Ning Caichen was a person from the Southern Song Dynasty, while Ma Xiaoling was a person from the 20th century."

Ning Caichen: "This, this, this is too unbelievable!"

Li Xunhuan: "It's not just you who finds it unbelievable, we all find it unbelievable. It's amazing that you all come from the same world, and even different time periods."

Tony Stark: "Group owner, this doesn't make sense; it completely contradicts the grandmother paradox."

Ning Caichen: "What is the grandmother paradox?"

Tony Stark: "The grandmother paradox is this: What If...? you went back in time and killed your grandparents before your father was born, this would create a contradiction. If you went back in time and killed your young grandmother, then there would be no father, and without a father, there would be no you. So, who killed your grandmother?"

Ning Caichen seemed to be deep in thought, but then became confused.

While the group members described her as living in what they called the Southern Song Dynasty, Ma Xiaoling belonged to modern society more than 700 years later.

If I make changes in the present, will things change in the future?

Goddess Leona: "(ˉ▽￣~) Tch~~, the grandmother paradox? Are you kidding me?"

Tony Stark: "???"

Goddess Leona: "Hmph, foolish humans, let the great Sun Goddess explain this phenomenon to you. First of all, Ning Caichen and Ma Xiaoling have no direct relationship, so there is no change in bloodline. Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that Ning Caichen changed the Destiny of the Ma Family."

Secondly, and most importantly, if you're talking about science in Chat Group, are you sure you're not crazy? Does your understanding of science explain why Chat Group exist, why the group owner can create the world, or why some people can manipulate time, control Destiny, or even Eternal immortality?

Tony Stark: ""

Tushan Yaya: "Hehe, Leona forgot to add something, did Little Nini's science class teach you why men can have children?"

Tony Stark: ""

The Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "

Li Xunhuan: "

Chen Nan: ""

Omniscient Li: "

Lin Jiu: ""

Xu Xian: ""

Ning Caichen: "Men can also have children."

Tony Stark: "Theoretically speaking, it's possible for men to give birth. Even with the technology here, it's achievable. However, having men give birth is truly against ethics and morality."

Tony Stark: "And the issue we're discussing isn't whether men can have children, but rather the timing. Ma Xiaoling and Ning Caichen live in the same world, but at different times, which means that whatever Ning Caichen does will definitely affect Ma Xiaoling."

Omniscient Li: "Don't worry, Ning Caichen and Ma Xiaoling have already joined the Chat Group, which means they've transcended the Destiny of their own world. Simply put, whatever Ning Caichen does to <My Date with a Vampire> won't affect Ma Xiaoling's existence."

Ma Xiaoling breathed a slight sigh of relief, but then became alert.

What do you mean by "it won't affect me at all"?

Does this mean it will definitely affect others, or that if history changes, the world we live in will inevitably undergo significant changes?

Ma Xiaoling: "Group owner, don't try to fool me. It won't affect my existence, but does that mean it will definitely affect others?"

Omniscient Li: "That depends on how far Ning Caichen can go."

Ning Caichen: ""

Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "I say, isn't it simple to confirm this? Since Ning Caichen was someone before Ma Xiaoling, have Ning Caichen leave you a message. See if you can receive the message. If you can, it means Ning Caichen is older than you, and what he does will affect your timeline."

Ma Xiaoling's eyes brightened slightly.

That's a good idea.

Although Li Hao had already said that Ning Caichen's actions would affect the world and even extend to the modern era, Ma Xiaoling still found it hard to believe. It was simply too incredible and too unbelievable.

Past, present, and future!

Ma Xiaoling: "That's a good idea."

Ning Caichen thought about it for a moment and felt that it was indeed a good idea.

Ning Caichen: "But how should I leave a message for Miss Ma? We are now more than seven hundred years apart. Even if ordinary letter paper can be preserved, there is a very high chance that it will be lost."

Goddess Leona: "Heh heh, this is interesting, a dialogue that transcends time and space."

Li Xunhuan: "Brother Ning's consideration is very reasonable. So, if you want to leave a message for Miss Ma, you must use an item that can be preserved for a long time and is not easily destroyed by the power of time. Moreover, hiding the item is also very important. If it is discovered or dug up along the way, it is very likely that this time-traveling dialogue will not be completed."

Ma Xiaoling: "Over seven hundred years has passed; there are too many variables. Wait, let me think about it; perhaps I can find a solution."

Omniscient Li: "One more thing, when you transmit information, don't reveal anything beyond time and space. It's best to keep it simple, otherwise unexpected changes are very likely."

Ning Caichen: "Thank you for the reminder, group owner."

Ma Xiaoling: "I've got it. There are ancient inscriptions on steles left by people in many famous mountains and rivers. And the possibility of such inscriptions being destroyed is very small. If Ning Caichen left the corresponding inscriptions in mountains and rivers that are not too famous, they should be able to be preserved for more than 700 years."

Goddess Leona: "This is too much trouble. It would be better to have Ning Caichen leave a specific message, then bury him in a safe place. Ma Xiaoling can then dig it up at the corresponding location seven hundred years later. It's simpler and easier."

Ma Xiaoling: "It's not that simple. Seven hundred years is enough time for too many things to change, and there are too many variables involved. Moreover, finding such messages is very troublesome. Landslides, people relocating, changes in the environment—too many possibilities could affect my search."

Tony Stark: "I can provide Ning Caichen with professional equipment to ensure the stability of information transmission. We can also add Ma Xiaoling's fingerprints or DNA verification. Then Ma Xiaoling only needs to follow the signal prompts to find him."

Ma Xiaoling: "Are you sure the signal can last for over 700 years!?"

Tony Stark: "Impossible for others, but for me, the number one scientist on Earth, it's a piece of Tony Stark."

Ma Xiaoling was somewhat tempted.

If such a thing existed, it would save a lot of trouble.

After all, even if a message is left in the mountains and rivers, who can guarantee that it won't be eroded by time and eventually become unverifiable? As for using steel and bronze for casting, that's even more inappropriate. In ancient times, when productivity was underdeveloped, even a fool would know that such things were valuable!

Ning Caichen: "That's a good idea, but how should I do it?"

Tony Stark: "Wait a minute, I'll get a recording device that can store data for a long time. You just need to record what you want to say according to the instructions. Then I'll have Ma Xiaoling leave her fingerprints and DNA on the outer protective layer for verification. That way, even if the item disappears in the middle, we don't have to worry about the contents being damaged or discovered."

Angel Yan: "The technological level of the world where Ma Xiaoling lives is not high. The equipment left by Tony Stark is sufficient to ensure the safety of this time-traveling conversation."

Goddess Leona: "Hehehe, hurry up, you guys! This Divine Capital can't wait any longer!"

Tushan Yaya: "→_→, I'm in heat."

Goddess Leona: "Get lost! Even if I'm in heat, what's it to you, you vixen?"

Tushan Yaya: "Hehe, this queen is the renowned Tushan Demon King, do you know what a Demon King is?"

Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "Bulgarian Demon King. jpg, is this the kind of demon king Your Majesty is talking about?"

Tushan Yaya: "!!!"

Goddess Leona: "Haha, so you really are the Demon King. I didn't expect you to be like this, Yaya."

Little Fairy Yan Lingji: "Funny. jpg, hehe, Yaya, so it was you."

Li Xunhuan: "Laughing and crying. jpg, Brother Gu, where did you find all this random stuff?"

Wang Lei: "Ahem, this seems to be from the information I uploaded."

Omniscient Li: "→_→."

Angel Yan: "→_→."

Tushan Yaya: "Gu Santong, come here, I'll give you a buff. See my 5,000-meter-long sword? I'll let you run 4,000 meters first."
