After dealing with the troublesome time-devouring creature, Chen Mo followed the map's directions and found the downward elevator.

But the rusted elevator, now just an empty shell, made Chen Mo fall into deep thought.

"Forget it, I'll just jump..."

For Chen Mo now, injuries from falls are nonexistent; the only thing that gets hurt is the ground.

Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Mo jumped directly into the elevator shaft.

Just like we did on Sky Island Zero.

This time, however, no one will suddenly appear and finely chop him into minced meat.

My body began to free fall, and every few tens of meters a window, either bright or dark, would appear.

Chen Mo realized that the cycle pattern of each floor was different, and it would probably be quite a headache to explore it properly.

But he's different. He simply wants to go to the Earth's core, and these other things have nothing to do with him.

"Um!?"

Chen Mo's eyes suddenly widened, and he plunged his fingers directly into the elevator shaft beside him.

The scene before my eyes flickered, and the elevator shaft, which had been reduced to ruins, was restored to its appearance from long ago.

His body passed directly through the rapidly ascending and descending elevator shaft, and the elevator shaft he had just pierced became illusory.

Chen Mo didn't really like flying; he felt safer with his feet firmly on the ground.

"So that's how it is. I was real when I was in the decaying state, but I was an illusory existence when the cycle returned to before the disaster."

It's not hard to understand, as the concept of Chen Mo didn't exist for people at that time.

Chen Mo only exists in the present; he cannot interfere with what happened in the past.

Putting that matter out of his mind, Chen Mo focused his attention on the floor in front of him.

Parallel World Possibility Exploration Lab

After thinking for a moment, Chen Mo decided to go and take a look.

If this parallel world refers to the one he's thinking of, then maybe they actually succeeded.

The moment Chen Mo stood in the parallel world laboratory, the floor once again returned to its decaying state.

Looking at the only light deep inside the building, Chen Mo nervously swallowed.

It was a ring-shaped instrument nearly ten meters tall; it wasn't a Möbius strip, but simply a circular ring.

The instrument itself had stopped working, but the control panel still had a faint light.

A line of scarlet text caught Chen Mo's eye, making him feel both disappointed and relieved.

Experiment failed. Please adjust parameters and restart!

It seems that my appearance has nothing to do with Chu Tianhua and the others.

If this is related to those two bastards, I should really consider whether I should kill them right now.

Even if it doesn't change anything, at least I feel better.

"Forget it, why think so much?"

Shaking his head, Chen Mo turned and continued rushing down the elevator shaft.

As Chen Mo turned and left, the last glimmer of light faded, plunging the entire experimental floor into boundless darkness.

The deeper you go, the higher the surrounding temperature becomes, and the more concentrated the abyssal energy becomes.

This is actually a good sign, at least it proves that we are on the right track, and that this laboratory really did drill straight through the earth's crust to the core.

It must be admitted that although Chu Tianhua may be the source of all the troubles, his talent is unparalleled.

How could someone who has made significant contributions in the fields of quantum mechanics, materials science, and physics be mediocre?

...

At this moment, the three people in the Garden of Eden were caught in a fierce argument.

"Even if you can temporarily stop the cycle, it will only be temporary. Ultimately, you still need to destroy the Möbius Forge to solve everything!"

Chu Huayue put her hands on her hips and glared angrily at Chu Tianhua.

"Besides, your anti-Möbius furnace is just a concept; anything that hasn't been tested should never be used rashly!"

"If something goes wrong, it will be irreversible. I don't agree with your plan!"

"Then what do you suggest we do? Are you going to just leave me here to die, relying entirely on Chen Mo, a child, to solve this problem?"

Chu Tianhua was not to be outdone, and the two stared at each other, neither willing to concede.

"According to my calculations, even if you build an anti-Möbius furnace, it won't help."

The AI's voice sounded, and Chu Tianhua and Chu Huayue turned to look at it.

"You, from the Abyss World, want to find a solution through the infinite loop of the Möbius Forge, while I'm doing the opposite. The two are essentially the same."

"I think the best use case for your anti-Möbius furnace is..."

"It should have been used after Chen Mo destroyed the Möbius Forge of the Abyss World to ensure that the Blue Star, which was given new possibilities, would not split into multiple worlds at the same time."

"It serves as a suitable time anchor, but has no other function."

"You know nothing, you rotten brain that's been soaking in nutrient solution!"

Chu Tianhua glared at the AI, but he was still persuaded by it.

That's right, my work can only be used to anchor myself in the present.

At the very least, we need to ensure that this possible path can continue...

"It's been half a month, why hasn't Chen Mo come back yet?"

"I remember the Abyss Mother Tree isn't far from the Möbius Laboratory, so it wouldn't take that long to go back and forth."

Seeing that Chu Tianhua had taken her words to heart, Chu Huayue stopped pressing him and turned to look at the timer beside her, talking to herself.

"Who knows what happened? What if there's a problem with the Möbius Forge at the core of the Abyss World..."

All three of them were stunned at the same time; they had overlooked this possibility.

"Won't he get trapped in the regional loop created by the Möbius strip?"

No one can guarantee that nothing will go wrong if you go to the center of the earth without using the administrator's key.

"There's nothing we can do even if we're trapped."

"That kid should be fine. His senses are very sharp; he should be able to detect anything amiss."

Chu Tianhua shook his head; he still had a lot of confidence in Chen Mo.

Indeed, nearly ten days had passed before Chen Mo realized he was trapped in a loop.

Now, he is frowning as he looks at the Earth's core, which is constantly gushing out abyssal energy.
