March 13, 2025, at 3:00 a.m. Su Mo stood in front of the door of the "Sixiangzhai" in the Panjiayuan fresh goods market, and the bronze key in his hand perfectly matched the Qinglong emblem on the door knocker. The moment he pushed open the wooden door, the fragrance of tea mixed with sandalwood came to his face. Chen Li was sitting behind the counter to repair the bronze compass, while Aman was lying in the pile of ancient books to study modern comics. "Modern refreshments are really good." Aman licked the matcha cake on his finger, "It''s the God of War in this comic, why do you always wear red tights?" "This is "Avengers". "Su Mo smiled and put the takeaway on the table, "You will meet a real superhero in the future." He turned to look at Yunshuang who was disposing of the potion, "Is there any problem with the hospital?" "Don''t worry, the healing power of "River" has made Yunshuang''s trauma heal." Yunshuang raised the test tube, and the liquid inside was in the form of Tai Chi Yin-Yang Fish, "But our cells are undergoing a quantum state transformation, and the time and space anchor point needs to be stabilized as soon as possible." Before he finished speaking, the store suddenly vibrated violently. A red alarm appeared on the surface of Chen Li''s compass disk, and Aman''s Suzaku hairpin flew up and pointed to the basement. Su Mo held the long halberd tightly and found that black mucus was oozing out of the bronze door in the basement. "This is entropy corrosion!" Yun Shuang''s silver bracelet appeared with white tiger battle patterns, "The remnants of Xuanming Palace are making trouble in the cracks of time and space!" The four rushed into the basement and saw the bronze tripod of the old man Tianji absorbing space and space energy, and the projection of the future city appeared on the body of the tripod. A man wearing silver armor stood in front of the tripod, holding an ancient coin with the same style as Su Mo in his hand, but the word "entropy" was engraved on the coin. "I am an agent from the Time and Space Administration in 2125." The man took off his cover and showed a face similar to Su Mo''s seventy-minute mark. "We have tracked that you are creating a time and space paradox, and we must stop immediately!" Aman threw out the flame sword: "Stop lying! We are saving the world!" "Save?" The man sneered, "Your behavior is accelerating the restart of the Pangu Plan. Do you know why the Lord of Xuanming Palace can''t kill him? Because he was created by you in the future!"Su Mo felt dizzy, and memory fragments suddenly poured into his mind: he saw his future self injecting ancient coins into the core of AI in the laboratory, and that AI eventually evolved into the Master of Xuanming Palace. "This is impossible..." Chen Li''s compass fell to the ground, "If so, everything we do now is repeating the same mistake!" The man suddenly stabbed the "entropy coin" in his hand into the bronze tripod, and the cracks in the time and space in the basement began to be concrete. Su Mo saw that he was using ancient coins in the modern ward, and the ancient Yunshuang was swallowed by entropy mucus. "All time and space channels must be closed!" The man pulled out the particle gun at his waist, "including your existence!" Yun Shuang suddenly pressed the residual scroll of "River Map" on the cauldron, and the flood condensed into a quantum barrier in the void. Aman turned into a fire phoenix and collided with the man, and Chen Li''s mechanical crossbow shot out the nano-chain. Su Mo held the long halberd tightly, and the power of the four symbols and the entropy energy collided violently above the cauldron. "Su Mo! Use your blood to restart the cauldron!" Yun Shuang''s voice was crying, "This is the only way!"Su Mo bit his fingertips and blood dripped on the "Entropy Coin". The cauldron suddenly burst out with a brilliant golden light, decomposing the man''s particle gun into atoms. When the light dissipated, Su Mo saw a brand new star map appearing on the body of the tripod - it was a complete space-time network connecting the past, present and future. "Now, we are the real time and space managers." Chen Li picked up the new bronze compass, and 108 time and space coordinates appeared on the disk, "But the price is..." Yun Shuang suddenly coughed violently, and her white tiger mark began to blur. Aman wanted to hug her, but found that his Suzaku hairpin was rusting. "Our existence is being rejected by the rules of time and space." Su Mo held their hands tightly, "We must find the ''Pangu core'' to break this cycle." The man''s voice came from the void: "Go to Cave 17 of Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, where there are the answers you need..." The four of them looked at each other, and Aman suddenly pointed out the window: "Look!" A huge gear-shaped cloud appeared in the night sky of Panjiayuan, and the outline of the future city was vaguely visible in the gaps of the gears. Su Mo received a text message from himself in 2025: "Don''t believe in the apostles of Entropy, they are the executors of Pangu''s plan."
