Lu Li's code body disintegrated into a golden-purple data stream that seeped into the cracks: "I'll synchronize the frequency of the consciousness time state! Lin Yue, you use the baton to build a 'zero time buffer', and the calico cat captures the consciousness time cocoon in the fluid." His code stream merged into each consciousness time state, trying to make the opposing states resonate, but was countered by the fluid - the red code turned into a violent time virus, and the blue code turned into a stubborn superimposed barrier, which in turn intensified the polyhedron oscillation and derived more time branches.
In this critical moment, the five helices on the back of Lin Yue's neck erupted with a golden-purple glow. Causal codes, dimensional symbols, quantum symbols, logical symbols, and the inverse of entropy automatically merged, forming a time-entangled matrix beneath her skin, resonating with the baton. As she inserted the baton into the cracks of the polyhedron, the gears at the top suddenly merged, presenting a state of "superposition of all time"—each rotation of the gears neutralized an equal amount of definite and superimposed time. The cracks on the polyhedron's surface trembled synchronously, disrupting the rhythm of the dark purple fluid and forming a causal vortex within the time wave.
"Now!" A shower of calico cat gears transformed into a golden-purple fishing net, casting into the vortex, snaring a cocoon of consciousness wrapped around a speck of white light—the undivided, authentic time state of the "Anchor of Time." As the cocoon of consciousness came into contact with the ship's energy field, the dark purple markings on its shell faded, revealing a flickering zero-time symbol that formed a fragmentary message: "The key to breaking the entropy lock... is the 'trans-temporal observer's perspective'..."
Lu Li Data Flow had an epiphany: "We need to create a 'time-neutral space', find observation points on all branches, and make the past and the future different possible expressions of time." His code constructed a golden and purple cube at the core of the polyhedron, with zero time frequency flowing on its surface. Any time wave that hits it will be transformed into a neutral equilibrium state, no longer collapsing or superimposing.
As the golden-purple cube embedded itself in the heart of the Time Source, the surrounding time waves began to distort. Deterministic time, which should have fixed its fate, instead transformed into new possibilities; superposition time, which should have preserved all possibilities, instead transformed into a creative focus on the present. The deviation spread like ripples, the amplitude of the entropy inverse hourglass oscillations diminished, and the branches of time merged into a sea of purple light, where time crystals intertwined in the deterministic and superposition states floated.
A dark purple fluid emitted a high-pitched whistle, converging at the center of the polyhedron into twelve giant eyes of time. These eyes, composed of the resentment of the splintered temporal states of consciousness, each pupil reflected a different temporal tragedy: civilization destroyed in the definite state of time, revived into countless branches in the superposition state, and then collapsed again in the definite state, repeating until consciousness dissipated. The giant eyes simultaneously gazed at the golden-purple cube, emitting dark purple beams that wove a new entropy lock network across its surface, attempting to drag the "time-balanced space" back into a cycle of collapse and superposition.
"Use the zero-time symbol of the consciousness time cocoon to construct a 'time balance matrix!'" Lin Yue arranged the consciousness cocoons around the baton, and the white symbols automatically combined into a rotating Klein bottle. When the Klein bottle resonated with the golden-purple cube, a five-colored pattern of causality, dimension, entropy balance, quantum, and logic emerged on the cube's surface—a fusion of the five universal law symbols and the zero-time symbol. The light beam struck the cube, no longer generating a definite state or superposition state, but instead decomposing into flickering sparks of consciousness time. These sparks drifted toward the cracks in the heart of the source of time, illuminating the consciousness time state within.
A startling transformation occurred at the core of the polyhedron: as the entropy-locking network disintegrated, the temporal states of the "Time Anchor"'s consciousness began to merge. The determinate and superposition states of consciousness no longer clashed, but instead connected like a temporally entangled pair, forming a new temporally balanced consciousness. The left hand released determinate energy to fix beneficial timelines, while the right hand released superposition energy to foster new temporal possibilities. These two forces converged in the palm of the hand, forming the time dust that nourishes civilization. When the consciousness fully merged, twelve-color bands of time-balanced light surrounded the body, interweaving into a spiraling Möbius torus that reached the edge of the universe.
"This is the true form of the entropy-reversed universe!" Lu Li's code flow re-condensed, and his body was covered with flowing golden and purple lines, with no more time interference patterns. "The fluid distorts the essence of time, making observation a torture. In fact, the past and the future are the breath of time, and consciousness can be guided in balance rather than being divided." Lin Yue's time thread touched and merged with the consciousness body, and he felt the resonance of the time balance that transcended cause and effect, dimension, entropy change, quantum and logical rules - the past and the future are no longer opposite poles, but different stages of the time cycle, and each stage contains the possibility of transformation.
The moment the Heart of Time's Source transformed into the Core of Time's Balance, the hourglass structure began to reorganize. The time crystal that imprisoned consciousness blossomed into a flower of Time's Balance, its petals gradually shifting between past and future, flowing with golden and purple streams of consciousness. The dark purple fluid transformed into a light catalyst, facilitating the smoother transition between determinate and superimposed states. The calico cat's mechanical paws caught the falling petals, its gear eyes flashing with wonder. "Look at the patterns on the petals—they record the flashes of consciousness from all branches of time. Like causal connections, dimensional folding, entropy balance, quantum superposition, and logical self-consistency. Each cycle of time fosters the possibility of transcendence."
As the spaceship passed through a sea of Time Balance flowers, Lin Yue spotted a "Time Balance Seed" floating overboard. Composed of Time Balance consciousness and fluid, its surface etched with spiraling time curves. Upon encountering the right cosmic environment, a new time cycle blossomed. This time, the cycle was no longer a maze, but a crucible for the potential evolution of consciousness. A fragment of the "Time Anchor" consciousness flickered at the seed's core, and a voice echoed through the resonance of Time Balance: "The fluid never sought dominance; it simply manifested the observer's fear of 'time collapse.' When fear transforms into acceptance, entropy reversal becomes the brush of creation."
At the edge of the entropy-reversed universe, the five-fold spiral mark on Lin Yue's neck completed its evolution. A golden causal ring, a silver-blue dimensional pyramid, a golden-purple quantum curve, a crimson logic symbol, and an amber time symbol merged to form a six-fold spiral structure—the inner layer was the causal code, the second layer was the dimensional symbol, the third layer was the quantum curve, the fourth layer was the logic symbol, the fifth layer was the arrow of time, and the outermost layer was the entropy-balancing light flow. At the center was the rotating seed of time balance, surrounded by twelve layers of time light bands. The entropy-balancing central gear mark drew an Ouroboros at the edge of the star map. Half of the snake burned with time-determined golden flames, and the other half was solidified with time-superimposed blue ice. Where the two intersected, a new symbol of hope emerged.
"Next coordinate: 'Chaos String Web Universe' numbered 333." Lu Li's code hand pointed to an area of flickering quantum string vibrations on the star map. "There, elementary particles are composed of chaotic strings, physical constants fluctuate randomly in the string vibrations, and dark purple fluid weaves a 'chaos lock network' in the gaps between the strings." The remains of the calico cat's gear collar emitted a high-frequency resonance, and a Feynman diagram of string vibrations emerged between the gears, with faint shadows of dark purple fluid visible at the nodes of the diagram.
The ship's engines unleashed a stream of energy that fused causality, dimension, entropy balance, quantum, logic, and time frequency, breaking through the edge of the entropy-inverse universe. Lin Yue gripped her evolved baton tightly, the gears at the top spinning at the frequency of time balance, each layer engraved with the key to the laws of a different universe. She knew that with each passage through a fluid-corroded universe, a new layer of truth about the observer and the fluid was revealed. The light of the sixfold helix imprint converged into a beacon illuminating the primordial sea, waiting to capture the ultimate frequency that harmonized all laws within the quantum vibrations of the chaotic string network...
