End of the World Crisis, My Husband is from Ancient Times
Chapter 128 Exploring the New Elephant
After the dazzling white light, Fan Mengmeng and Teng Junze found themselves in an unfamiliar forest.
The towering ancient trees blocked out the sun, and the air was filled with the smell of damp earth.
Fan Mengmeng's heart was beating wildly. She clutched Teng Junze's hand tightly. "Where is this?" Teng Junze looked around, his brow furrowed. "It seems the impact of this fusion of time and space is even more complex than we imagined."
After returning to the mansion, they immediately began to investigate this sudden phenomenon of "disappearance of objects".
However, the items that disappeared were of various types, ranging from children's candied haws to farmers' hoes, with no apparent pattern.
"It's just like... like something is picking items randomly." Fan Mengmeng felt a headache as she looked at the densely packed list of missing items in the record book.
People around them were also full of doubts about their research.
"Your Highness, Princess, with all due respect, could this just be some petty theft?" an official cautiously questioned.
"Yes, Your Highness, Princess, there is so much work to be done right now. Isn't it a bit inappropriate to focus your energy on these trivial matters?" another official echoed.
Teng Junze's eyes turned cold, and his domineering aura instantly emanated from him, making the officials present silent.
"It is not your turn to dictate what happens to this king."
Research requires a lot of resources. However, the previous time and space turmoil has consumed a lot of materials. Now resources are scarce and difficult to obtain.
What’s worse is that some people do not understand their actions and even begin to boycott them.
"They spend all day studying these vague things. Why don't they think about how to solve our problem of food and clothing!" The rumors in the market reached Fan Mengmeng's ears, making her feel extremely depressed.
Just when they were at a loss, the jade bracelet in Fan Mengmeng's hand emitted a faint light again.
She had an idea and took off the jade bracelet to look at it carefully.
The originally clear lines on the bracelet have now become blurred, as if covered by a layer of mist.
"Junze, look..." Fan Mengmeng handed the jade bracelet to Teng Junze.
Teng Junze took the jade bracelet and frowned.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he suddenly looked up at Fan Mengmeng, a gleam in his eyes: "Mengmeng, maybe..." Before he finished speaking, the light of the jade bracelet suddenly became extremely strong, illuminating the entire room...
Fan Mengmeng closed her eyes subconsciously.
When she opened her eyes again, the scene before her shocked her...
The light of the jade bracelet faded, and Fan Mengmeng and Teng Junze found themselves in a strange space.
There were countless spots of light floating around, each of which looked like a miniature scene, with farmlands, markets, and even their mansions.
Fan Mengmeng reached out and touched a spot of light, which instantly enlarged, revealing a picture of a farmer working in the fields.
She touched another spot of light, and the scene switched to a bustling city scene.
"Is this... a fragment of time and space?" Fan Mengmeng exclaimed.
Teng Junze's eyes flashed, and he seemed to understand something.
"These disappeared objects may have been caught up in these fragments of time and space."
Fan Mengmeng's mind raced, and she thought of modern quantum theory and the concept of multi-dimensional space.
She told Teng Junze her ideas, and combined them with the ancient theory of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, she boldly speculated on the causes and operating rules of these space-time fragments.
Her clear analysis and novel ideas made Teng Junze look at her with admiration. His originally furrowed brows relaxed and a smile of appreciation appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Mengmeng, you are such a surprise."
With his understanding of these "fragments of time and space", Fan Mengmeng quickly identified the source of the new phenomenon - an ancient altar hidden underground in the mansion.
Just as they were about to go to the altar to find out what was going on, there was a sudden noise outside the mansion.
"They're wasting the very supplies we need to survive!"
"They don't care about our lives at all!"
Angry people gathered at the door of the mansion, clamoring for them to hand over the missing items.
It turned out that some conservative forces who had previously been dissatisfied with Teng Junze's reforms took the opportunity to spread rumors among the people, saying that their research was to satisfy their own selfish desires and that they deliberately hid the materials.
These rumors spread quickly among the resource-poor population, triggering panic and anger.
Teng Junze's face was gloomy. He was about to go out to quell the commotion, but was stopped by Fan Mengmeng.
"Wait, Junze," Fan Mengmeng said with a firm look, "going out now will only intensify the conflict. We must find a solution to the problem first."
She turned to look at the glowing jade bracelet and took a deep breath. "Looks like we have to split up..."
Fan Mengmeng took a deep breath, her eyes flashing with determination.
"Junze, you go and stabilize the people's hearts, and I will continue to study this altar." Teng Junze looked at her with worry in his eyes, but he also knew that this was the best way at the moment.
He held Fan Mengmeng's hand tightly and gave her a gentle kiss on the forehead.
"Be careful." There was a hint of imperceptible tenderness in his low voice.
Teng Junze turned and left, his tall figure quickly disappearing into the night.
Relying on his prestige in the army and among the people, he quickly gathered a group of loyal subordinates, publicly explained the truth of the "disappearance of items" incident, and promised to find a solution, which stabilized people's hearts.
At the same time, he also secretly sent people to investigate the mastermind behind spreading the rumors, preparing to catch these jumping clowns in one fell swoop.
His vigorous style and decisive decision-making quickly quelled the riot and frightened those with ulterior motives.
Fan Mengmeng came to the ancient altar under the mansion alone.
The altar is engraved with strange runes, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.
Fan Mengmeng approached the altar cautiously, holding the jade bracelet tightly in her hand.
The light of the jade bracelet flickered, as if guiding her.
She took a deep breath and placed the jade bracelet in the center of the altar.
In an instant, the runes on the altar lit up, emitting dazzling light, and the entire underground space began to vibrate.
Fan Mengmeng felt a powerful force surrounding her, and she felt her body was light, as if she was about to fly.
At this moment, she heard a deep voice in her ear: "You are finally here..."
The light from the altar gradually faded, and Fan Mengmeng found herself in an ancient library.
The towering bookshelves reach up to the dome, filled with ancient books, and the air is filled with the scent of old volumes.
An old man in a white robe stood in front of her, looking at her kindly.
"You've finally arrived, the chosen one."
The old man told Fan Mengmeng that the fusion of time and space was not accidental, but was caused by an ancient prophecy.
This prophecy is recorded in an ancient book called "Book of Time and Space", and only the chosen ones can decipher the mystery contained therein.
The old man is the guardian of the "Book of Time and Space". He has been waiting for a thousand years and finally waited for Fan Mengmeng's arrival.
Fan Mengmeng followed the old man to the depths of the library and found the "Book of Time and Space" on a huge stone platform.
The cover of the book is simple and mysterious, emitting a faint golden light.
When Fan Mengmeng tried to turn the page of the book, she found that there was no word on it.
The old man explained that only people with the power of time and space can see the contents of the book.
Fan Mengmeng placed the jade bracelet on the book. The light from the jade bracelet illuminated the pages, and lines of ancient text emerged.
Fan Mengmeng began to decipher the texts and discovered that they contained a legend about the gate of time and space.
According to legend, the gate of time and space connects different time and space, allowing people to travel between different time and space.
The fusion of time and space is precisely due to the cracks in the gate of time and space, which causes different time and space to blend with each other.
The prophecy also mentioned that only by finding the key to the door of time and space can the cracks be repaired and the further fusion of time and space be prevented.
And this key is hidden in a place called "Lost Realm".
Fan Mengmeng told Teng Junze about this discovery, and Teng Junze immediately ordered to prepare to go to the Lost Realm.
However, just as they were about to set off, they received shocking news: the man behind the rumor was actually...
Teng Junze’s uncle!
The emperor's uncle has always coveted the throne. He took advantage of the chaos brought about by the fusion of time and space to incite the people and attempt to overthrow Teng Junze's rule.
Teng Junze was furious and ordered the arrest of the emperor's uncle.
However, the emperor's uncle was well prepared. He took Fan Mengmeng hostage and threatened Teng Junze that if he did not give up the throne, he would kill Fan Mengmeng.
Teng Junze was caught in a dilemma.
On one side is the country and on the other side is the beloved woman.
How should he choose?
Fan Mengmeng looked at Teng Junze, her eyes full of worry.
She knew that Teng Junze was a man who valued friendship and loyalty, and he would never give up on her.
But she also didn't want Teng Junze to give up his country for her.
At this moment, Fan Mengmeng's jade bracelet suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and a powerful force teleported her and her uncle to an unfamiliar place.
"Where is this..." Fan Mengmeng looked around and found herself in a dark cave.
"Welcome to the Lost Realm." A cold voice echoed in the cave.
Fan Mengmeng turned around suddenly and saw a man in black standing behind her, holding a dagger that was flashing with cold light in his hand.
"You are……"
The man in black sneered: "I am here to take your life."
He raised the dagger and stabbed Fan Mengmeng... "Stop!" A familiar voice came.
