End of the World Crisis, My Husband is from Ancient Times

Teng Junze was about to leave with Fan Mengmeng when he saw an old man with white hair and a youthful face, with an immortal look, appear out of nowhere and block their way.

This way of appearance would definitely look like a special effects blockbuster in modern times!

Fan Mengmeng was complaining in her heart.

The old man stroked his long beard, his face serious, like an old cadre inspecting work.

"Are you two looking for me?"

Fan Mengmeng and Teng Junze looked at each other in bewilderment. Who was this person? Could he be some hidden master?

"May I ask who you are, senior..." Teng Junze bowed and asked tentatively.

"I am the guardian of time and space here." The old man spoke lightly, and an invisible pressure instantly enveloped the two of them, making Fan Mengmeng almost unable to breathe.

Wow, with that aura, he must be a big shot at the King level!

"Guardian of Time and Space?!" Fan Mengmeng exclaimed.

So this old man is in charge of time travel?

Wouldn't they be sent back?

Thinking about the terrible world in modern times, Fan Mengmeng couldn't help but shudder.

The old state master's eyes were like torches. He glanced at the two of them and said in a deep voice, "You two have disturbed the order of time and space. Your crime is unforgivable!"

“Senior, we…” Teng Junze was about to explain, but was interrupted by the old national teacher.

"No need to say more! I already know what you two have done. You two travel through time and space at will, which has had a great impact on the stability of time and space!" The old national teacher's voice was like a loud bell, making Fan Mengmeng's eardrums buzz.

Fan Mengmeng pouted in grievance. What the hell is going on here?

They clearly traveled through time to save the world, so how did they become sinners who disrupted the order of time and space?

This old man is probably a stubborn old man!

Teng Junze's expression remained unchanged, but a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

He took a step forward and said firmly, "Senior..."

Teng Junze was not intimidated by the old national teacher's majesty, but said calmly: "Senior, I know what you are worried about. But we are not here to disrupt time and space maliciously, but to repair the cracks in time and space and save the people." He paused and continued: "This girl and I are from the future. The future world, um... how to put it, it's a bit hard to describe. In short, the world is about to collapse, and we found that the root of all this is that there is a problem with an energy source in ancient time and space." He cleverly summarized the situation of the end of the world with the four words "hard to describe", which not only avoided revealing too much future information, but also successfully aroused the curiosity of the old national teacher.

The old Imperial Master stroked his beard, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes. "Energy source? Repairing time and space? I've guarded this space and time for hundreds of years, and I've never heard of any energy source that can affect the future."

"Senior, the subject of time and space is vast and profound, and perhaps there are still many unsolved mysteries." Teng Junze smiled slightly, with an unfathomable look, "For example, senior, do you know the wise saying 'When in doubt, use quantum mechanics'?" He deliberately threw out a modern Internet hot topic to see the old national teacher's reaction.

As expected, the old imperial teacher looked confused: "Quantum mechanics? What is that?"

Teng Junze chuckled inwardly, but remained expressionless. "This is the supreme law of future time and space, beyond the comprehension of mortals like us." He continued, "As for the source of energy, I'd like to ask you a question. Ancient records indicate that the founding emperor of our dynasty once obtained a treasure called 'Ding Qian Kun'. Does this object really exist?"

The old Imperial Master pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "The Ding Qian Kun (Destiny of the Universe) does exist, but it's not a treasure. Instead, it's a puzzle concerning the laws of time and space. Emperors throughout the ages have attempted to decipher it, but none have succeeded."

Teng Junze's heart moved. Could it be that this "Ding Qiankun" was the energy source they were looking for?

He bowed and said, "Senior, I am not talented, but I am willing to give it a try."

A gleam of light flashed in the old Imperial Master's eyes. "You? Do you know that this difficult problem of 'determining the destiny' concerns the laws of heaven and earth? If you are not careful, you will be reduced to ashes!"

Teng Junze took a deep breath and said firmly, "I'm willing to give it a try."

The old national teacher pondered for a moment and then asked the difficult question of "determining the fate of the world".

The problem was extremely complicated, involving many aspects such as ancient astronomy, geography, the five elements and the eight trigrams. Fan Mengmeng was confused and bewildered after hearing it.

However, after listening to this, Teng Junze only pondered for a moment, then confidently gave an answer that surprised the old master: "In my opinion, the answer to this question is not some specific law, but..." He paused, looking at the old master with a burning gaze, "The word 'balance'."

Upon hearing this, the old Imperial Master's expression suddenly changed. "You...how did you..."

Fan Mengmeng watched Teng Junze talking freely, as if he had his own background music, and his whole body was shining.

She felt like a little fangirl at a star-chasing scene, her eyes full of stars, and her inner monologue was crazy filling the screen: Ahhhh, my Junze is so handsome!

This operation is simply amazing!

Old Imperial Master, please bow down at the feet of my male god!

The old national teacher has lived for hundreds of years. What kind of storms and waves has he not seen?

I thought this kid would be like those reckless young people in the past, relying on his cleverness to force his way through, but this kid actually didn't play by the rules and started to reason with him?

There's also this thing called "When you can't make a decision, use quantum mechanics (a sarcastic statement, when you're undecided, use a seemingly profound concept to explain it)". What the hell is going on?

The old national teacher felt that his brain was almost unable to work, and the worldview formed over hundreds of years was subjected to an unprecedented impact.

It's like you've been playing Tetris your whole life, and suddenly someone tells you that the game can also be rotated!

Seeing the old national teacher’s bewildered face, Teng Junze was secretly delighted: You little brat, you are not qualified to fight with me!

He continued, "Senior, the times are advancing, technology is developing, and you can't cling to old ideas forever! This 'determining the fate of the universe' may seem complex, but the underlying principle is very simple. The key lies in the word 'balance.' Think about it, everything in this world, the harmony of yin and yang, the interplay of the five elements—isn't it all about balance?"

The old imperial teacher was stunned by Teng Junze's "heresy". It took him a long time to come back to his senses, but his face suddenly changed: "You...how did you..." He pointed at Teng Junze with a trembling finger, his eyes full of shock and confusion.

What is the origin of this kid?

Can he actually see through the secret of "setting the destiny" at a glance?

This is a difficult problem that even kings of past dynasties have been unable to solve!

Teng Junze smiled slightly and was about to continue explaining, but suddenly he felt a chill on his back. Fan Mengmeng tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "Junze, do you feel that... the atmosphere seems a little abnormal?" Teng Junze felt a chill on his back. Yes, the atmosphere was indeed wrong.

The shock on the old state teacher's face gradually faded, replaced by an indescribable... excitement?

He rubbed his hands and his eyes swept over Teng Junze like a searchlight, making Teng Junze feel creepy.

"Good boy, you're quite good!" The old Imperial Master suddenly slapped his thigh, his tone as excited as if he had discovered a new world. "I never thought I'd see such a genius in my lifetime! The word 'balance' you mentioned is truly enlightening and thought-provoking!"

Fan Mengmeng and Teng Junze looked at each other in confusion. This plot direction seemed a little wrong?

The situation was tense just now, how come it suddenly turned into a fan meeting?

Is this the legendary "Law of True Fragrance"?

“Thank you for your kind words, senior.” Teng Junze bowed modestly, thinking to himself: Hehe, luckily I’m smart and have brushed up on some ancient etiquette in advance, otherwise I really can’t handle this situation.

The old national teacher excitedly took Teng Junze's hand and talked incessantly about the principles and operation methods of "Ding Qiankun", which left Teng Junze confused.

Things like "the universe is turned upside down", "yin and yang are reversed", and "the five elements rotate" made his head hurt.

He secretly glanced at Fan Mengmeng and found that she was also confused. The two exchanged glances: It is worthy of being an antique from hundreds of years ago, the operation is too complicated!

"Wait, wait!" Teng Junze hurriedly stopped him. "Senior, I don't quite understand what you're saying. Could you please... simplify it a little?"

The old Imperial Master was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Oh, look at me, I've forgotten that young people like you have limited understanding. How about this? I'll take you directly to see the 'Determining the Universe' device. Then you'll understand it at a glance."

Fan Mengmeng and Teng Junze's eyes lit up. They could finally get rid of this lengthy theoretical explanation!

The old Imperial Master led them to a mysterious basement and pointed to a giant spherical device. He said, "This is the core of 'Fixing the Universe.' As long as we place the energy source inside, we can repair the rift in space and time."

"Energy source?" Fan Mengmeng asked curiously, "Where is the energy source?"

The old national teacher smiled mysteriously: "It's on..." He paused, his eyes fell on Fan Mengmeng's neck, "It's on you."

Fan Mengmeng subconsciously touched the pendant around her neck. This pendant was a token of love given to her by Teng Junze. Could it be...

"This, this is impossible!" Teng Junze's face changed drastically. "How could a cute pendant be..."

The old national master interrupted him, "Everything is possible, young man. I will wait here at noon tomorrow. I hope you will not let me down." After that, he turned and left, disappearing into the darkness.

Fan Mengmeng and Teng Junze once again stood in front of the gate of the royal treasury, tightly clutching the pendant in their hands...
