The air was so stagnant that you could hear a pin drop.

Fan's mother held Fan Mengmeng's hand tightly, and sweat came out of her palms.

Teng Junze's friends also stopped their previous laughter, anger and scolding. They all looked serious and dared not make a sound.

Teng Junze held Fan Mengmeng's hand tightly and gave her a firm look.

Fan Mengmeng smiled back, and although she was nervous, she tried to remain calm.

Suddenly, a strange light flashed, and a figure appeared out of thin air in the center of the room.

The man was wearing a white robe, with a stern face and eyes as sharp as an eagle. He exuded a majesty that made people dare not look at him directly.

Everyone was startled and subconsciously took a step back.

"Are you... the Messenger of Time and Space?" Fan Mengmeng asked tentatively, her voice trembling slightly.

The Time and Space Messenger did not answer. He simply glanced at everyone coldly and said, "I know your plan."

His voice was low and magnetic, yet carried an unquestionable majesty.

"To gain my approval, you must pass my test." The Time and Space Messenger paused and continued, "Only when you prove that you are capable of controlling the power of time and space will I allow you to continue with this plan."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone felt a strong pressure coming at them, as if a mountain was pressing down on their hearts, making it hard to breathe.

Fan Mengmeng felt a black screen in front of her eyes and she almost couldn't stand.

Teng Junze quickly supported her and whispered in her ear: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

The conditions proposed by the Time and Space Messenger were extremely harsh and almost an impossible task.

He asked Fan Mengmeng and Teng Junze to find two legendary artifacts in ancient times and modern times respectively within a limited time.

These two artifacts represent the power of time and space respectively. Only by collecting them can they prove that they are qualified to control the power of time and space.

Fan Mengmeng's heart sank to the bottom. This was harder than climbing to the sky!

She knew nothing about ancient times, let alone searching for any legendary artifacts.

Teng Junze has no relatives in modern times and is unfamiliar with the place, so it is equally difficult for him to find a modern artifact.

The Time and Space Messenger looked at the two men's desperate expressions, and a cold arc appeared on the corner of his mouth: "What? Are you scared? If you give up now, it's not too late."

Teng Junze's eyes flashed, and he straightened his back, meeting the Time and Space Messenger's gaze fearlessly: "We will not give up! No matter how difficult it is, we will complete your test!"

Fan Mengmeng also took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She held Teng Junze's hand tightly and said firmly, "That's right, we won't give up! We can do it!"

The Messenger of Time and Space looked at the two men's determined eyes, and a hint of imperceptible admiration flashed in his eyes.

He extended his hand, and a stone shimmering with a strange light appeared in his palm. "This is the key to the place of trial. I hope you will take good care of yourself."

After saying this, the Time and Space Messenger disappeared, leaving only the glittering stone floating quietly in the air.

Fan Mengmeng and Teng Junze looked at each other and saw determination in each other's eyes.

"Mengmeng," Teng Junze said solemnly, holding the stone tightly in his hand, "It seems that we must be prepared..."

Fan Mengmeng took a deep breath, and countless thoughts flashed through her mind.

The test of the Time and Space Messenger will definitely not be easy.

She understood that panicking would be of no use, and only by thinking calmly could she find a way out.

She stared at the stone suspended in the air, her eyes gleaming with wisdom.

"Master Envoy," Fan Mengmeng's voice was clear and firm. "You said you wanted to test our ability to control the power of time and space, but the power of time and space is not simply about traveling back and forth between the past and the present. It is more about understanding the two time and space, and grasping history and the future."

Everyone looked at Fan Mengmeng in surprise. They didn't expect that she could talk to the Time and Space Messenger so calmly.

Fan's mother's eyes were filled with worry, fearing that her daughter's actions would anger the messenger.

"Oh?" The Time and Space Messenger raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes. "Then tell me, what is your understanding of time and space?"

Fan Mengmeng smiled faintly and spoke eloquently, "The intersection of time and space is not a simple superposition, but rather like two rivers, independent of each other yet influencing each other. Modern technological development can bring progress to the ancient world; ancient cultural heritage can also nourish modern civilization. We travel through time and space not to change history, but to better integrate the two times and spaces and make common progress."

Everyone listened attentively, and even Teng Junze couldn't help but look at Fan Mengmeng with admiration.

He didn't expect that Fan Mengmeng, who seemed confused on weekdays, actually had such a profound understanding of time and space.

Teng Junze also took up the conversation and added, "As Mengmeng said, the key to the fusion of time and space lies in balance. Modern scientific and technological progress is certainly important, but the inheritance of ancient culture is equally indispensable. We should take the essence and discard the dregs, allowing the civilizations of the two time and space to complement each other and develop together."

The Time and Space Messenger's expression softened slightly. He pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Your ideas are interesting, but ideas alone are not enough. They must be proven through concrete action." He raised his hand and a portal of light appeared in the air. "This is the entrance to the first test site. Enter."

Fan Mengmeng and Teng Junze looked at each other and walked into the light gate without hesitation.

The moment they disappeared, the Spacetime Messenger turned to look at Fan's mother, a hint of deep meaning flashing in his eyes: "Your daughter is very extraordinary..."

Fan's mother's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition came over her.

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but found that she couldn't say anything...

Behind the light gate was not the sea of ​​fire and swords that Fan Mengmeng had imagined, but a peaceful pastoral scenery.

The breeze brings bursts of floral fragrance and the chirping of birds, making it feel like a paradise.

However, this tranquility was soon broken.

The sky suddenly darkened, the wind howled, and the countryside instantly turned into a desert.

"The first level is to balance the power of time and space." The voice of the Spacetime Messenger echoed in the air. "Only by finding the balance point can you pass this level."

Fan Mengmeng and Teng Junze immediately understood that this test was not of strength, but of wisdom.

They need to find a way to bring life back to this desert.

Fan Mengmeng carefully observed the surrounding environment and found that there was not no sign of life in the desert.

Some tenacious plants are struggling to survive in the sand, and some small animals are also looking for hope of survival.

An idea suddenly occurred to her and she thought of a way.

"Junze, let's try to combine modern water-saving irrigation technology with ancient farming experience." Fan Mengmeng said excitedly.

Teng Junze immediately understood what she meant, and the two divided the work. Teng Junze used his ancient knowledge to find plants suitable for growing in this environment, while Fan Mengmeng used modern technology to design an efficient irrigation system.

They worked day and night, their clothes soaked with sweat, but they never gave up.

Gradually, green began to appear in the desert, and the dry land came back to life.

Seeing this scene, a hint of admiration flashed in the eyes of the Messenger of Time and Space.

"Yes, you have found the balance point." The voice of the Time and Space Messenger sounded again, "But this is just the beginning. The real test is yet to come."

As soon as he finished speaking, the scene changed again and they came to a prosperous ancient city.

The streets were busy with people coming and going.

However, behind this prosperity lies a huge crisis.

"The second level is to resolve the conflict between time and space." The voice of the Spacetime Messenger sounded again, "Only by resolving the conflicts of this era can we pass this level."

Fan Mengmeng and Teng Junze discovered that this era was on the brink of war.

Various forces fought openly and secretly, and the people were living in misery.

They realized that in order to resolve the crisis, they had to get to the root of the conflict.

After some investigation, they found that the root cause of the conflict was the competition for resources.

Due to climate change, land drought and food harvest failure, various forces began a brutal struggle for limited resources.

Fan Mengmeng and Teng Junze looked at each other and already had an idea in their minds.

They decided to use modern technology to help increase food production and solve the problem of resource shortage in this era.

They taught modern agricultural techniques to local people and helped them build new irrigation systems.

Thanks to their efforts, grain production has increased significantly and people's lives have improved.

The conflicts between various forces gradually eased, and the clouds of war began to dissipate.

Seeing all this, the Messenger of Time and Space nodded with satisfaction.

"You did well." The Time and Space Messenger's voice was filled with a hint of relief, "But the final test is the most crucial."

The scene changed again and they returned to the present day.

Fan's mother watched nervously from the side, her eyes full of worry for her daughter. Fan Mengmeng gave her mother a comforting look.

Fan Mengmeng proposed another innovative idea that could better balance the interests of the two time and space, and the time and space messenger began to seriously consider this plan.

Suddenly, the Spacetime Messenger's expression changed...

"and many more……"

Boss Zhao rubbed his greasy hands and puffed out his belly, breaking the brief harmony.

"Ms. Fan, this plan sounds good, but what if... I mean what if, if we bring these ancient things into the modern era, will there be any... side effects? For example, will it affect our modern economic order? If something goes wrong, I, Zhao, can't afford it!" His small eyes rolled around, full of shrewdness and calculation.

When Fan Mengmeng heard this, she became furious.

She remembered how she had been running around stocking up on goods before the end of the world and had been looked down upon. Many people, like Boss Zhao, only cared about their immediate interests and refused to cooperate.

Now that I finally have the chance to change my fate, Boss Zhao jumps out and pours cold water on me!

She took a deep breath, trying to suppress her anger. She said coldly, "Boss Zhao, you only see the petty profits in front of you, but fail to see the enormous value behind this plan. The fusion of time and space will bring not only economic benefits, but also the advancement of civilization! Besides, we have made all the necessary preparations, and the situation you describe will never happen!"

The tragic scene of the end of the world flashed through her mind, with starving people everywhere, order collapsed, and the once prosperous city turned into a hell on earth.

She must never let such a tragedy happen again!

Thinking of this, her eyes became more determined, "Boss Zhao, if you don't want to cooperate, you can withdraw now. We won't force you!"

Boss Zhao was intimidated by Fan Mengmeng's aura. He smiled awkwardly and dared not say anything.

The Time and Space Messenger listened to their conversation quietly, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

He was originally a little hesitant about this plan, but Fan Mengmeng's determination and decisiveness made him see hope of success.

He slowly said, "Your plan does have great potential, but..." He paused, his eyes falling on the clasped hands of Fan Mengmeng and Teng Junze, "I need to further examine your cooperation and tacit understanding."

He raised his hand and waved, and a huge sand table appeared in the center of the room, simulating the environments of modern and ancient times.

"This is a simulation sandbox. You all need to complete a task together within a limited time." The Time and Space Messenger's voice was filled with authority. "Only after you pass this test will I finally approve your plan."

Fan Mengmeng and Teng Junze looked at each other, their eyes full of confidence.

They walked to the sand table and began to carefully study the terrain and mission objectives.

Teng Junze is well versed in ancient military strategies, while Fan Mengmeng is proficient in modern scientific and technological knowledge. The two complement each other's strengths and work together in perfect harmony.

Sometimes they discussed in low voices, sometimes they gave speeches, like two generals commanding thousands of troops.

Just when they were about to complete the mission, the Spacetime Messenger's expression suddenly changed, "Wait..."
