Chapter 6219

Maria might just be the person in the world best suited to persuade Charlie.

With her unmatched intelligence and extensive life experience, she exudes a wisdom that belies her appearance as a diligent neighbor’s little sister preparing for college entrance exams. Charlie, who knows nearly all her secrets and past experiences, holds deep trust and respect for her.

Therefore, when Maria inquired about his progress in cultivation, Charlie felt a wave of shame wash over him.

As Maria analyzed his current situation, she illuminated his path, making him realize that seeking out Claire, Stephen Thompson, or Master Geoffrey might not yield any benefits, but would definitely lead to many drawbacks. Not only was he wasting his energy and time—delaying the most crucial task at hand—but he could potentially expose them to danger.

When Maria shared her thoughts on the Northern European aurora that night, Charlie was struck by a sudden insight.

The answers he sought might not lie in that polar region, but rather within himself. However, the energy of that mystery might be limited or subjected to some form of confinement, akin to the male protagonist in “Interstellar,” who has countless messages he wishes to convey to himself but ultimately fails to do so. He can only send messages through the changing auroras.

If that’s the case, perhaps his previous return was too rushed.
