The genius who counterattacked the mainland

After a fierce battle with the forces of darkness, Xu Tiancai and his companions successfully defended the Cosmic Alliance, but they knew this was only a minor incident in a long journey. The mysterious dark force, like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, could strike again at any moment. And the secrets of the power of the stars have only just begun to unfold; much more awaits exploration.

After the battle, Xu Tiancai often fell into deep thought. He could feel the power of the stars surging within him, but it seemed there was a deeper power waiting to be tapped. Whenever he tried to explore the source of that mysterious power, vague images would always emerge in his mind, as if a voice from the depths of the distant universe was calling him.

One day, the Universal Alliance received a mysterious signal from a distant galaxy. The signal's frequency and pattern were unprecedented, imbued with mystery. After considerable effort, Alliance scientists finally deciphered a portion of the signal, discovering a reference to a place known as the "Cosmic Abyss," which is said to hold the ultimate secrets of the universe's birth and a force powerful enough to alter its order.

This news immediately captured the attention of Xu Tiancai and his companions. They realized it might hold the key to unlocking the deeper mysteries of stellar power, potentially connecting it to a power coveted by dark forces. Consequently, Xu Tiancai decided to lead his team into this mysterious cosmic abyss to investigate.

Before setting off, they comprehensively upgraded and modified the spacecraft, equipping it with state-of-the-art weapons and detection equipment to prepare for any potential dangers. Lin also spent considerable time researching how to better utilize the power of the stars in the spacecraft's propulsion and defense systems, significantly improving its performance.

After a long interstellar voyage, they finally arrived at the area indicated by the signal. However, the scene before them shocked them greatly. It was a dark and silent space, with sparse stars, as if isolated by some mysterious force. At the center of this area, a huge black vortex slowly rotated, emitting a terrifying gravitational pull.

"Is this the abyss of the universe? It looks so scary." Su Yao couldn't help but say nervously.

Alice closed her eyes and tried to use her mental power to sense the situation within the vortex, but she immediately felt a strong repulsive force that nearly injured her. "There's an extremely powerful energy contained within here, and my mental power can't penetrate deeply enough."

Xu Tiancai stared intently at the black vortex, a strong sense of mission welling up in his heart. "No matter what dangers lie within, we must go in and take a look. This could be the key to solving all the mysteries."

They carefully maneuvered the spaceship, approaching the black vortex. As the distance gradually closed, the spaceship began to tremble violently, as if it was about to be torn apart by the powerful gravity. Xu Tiancai exerted all his stellar power to stabilize the spaceship and adjust the spacecraft's power system to enable it to resist the pull of gravity.

Finally, after a difficult effort, the spacecraft successfully entered the black vortex. Once inside, they felt as if they had entered a whole new world. It was filled with strange light and energy currents, and time and space seemed to be distorted. The spacecraft's instruments began to flash wildly, and the data became chaotic.

"Everyone be careful, the rules of time and space here are completely different from what we are familiar with." Xu Tiancai reminded.

They slowly advanced through this strange space, searching for clues. Suddenly, a large shadow appeared ahead, and within it, an ancient building loomed. Xu Tiancai piloted the spaceship closer to the shadow. As the distance closed, they could clearly see the building.

It was a massive pyramid-shaped building, its surface covered in intricate runes and patterns, emitting a mysterious glow. A powerful energy shield surrounded the building, preventing them from approaching.

"This building looks so old, it must be hiding some important secrets." Lin said excitedly.

Xu Tiancai tried to communicate with the energy shield using the power of the stars. After some effort, an entrance appeared on the energy shield. They slowly entered the spaceship and landed on a platform inside the building.

As they stepped out of the spaceship, they were immediately greeted by a strong, ancient atmosphere. A faint glow permeated the interior of the building, and runes on the walls shimmered with a mysterious luster. They walked along a wide corridor, flanked by strange statues of various shapes, seemingly creatures they had never seen before.

As they walked, they came to a huge hall. In the center of the hall was a round stone platform, on which sat a translucent crystal ball. The crystal ball shone with mysterious light, as if it contained the mysteries of the entire universe.

Xu Tiancai stepped forward and examined the crystal ball carefully. The moment his hand touched it, a powerful torrent of information flooded his mind. He witnessed the birth of the universe, the formation of stars, and the rise and fall of various civilizations. Within these images, he also witnessed the rise of a dark force that sought to devour the entire universe. The power of the stars seemed to be the key to combating this dark force.

Just as Xu Tiancai was immersed in this information, a low rumbling sound suddenly emanated from all around the hall. The runes on the wall began to glow brightly, and the ground began to shake violently.

"Oh no, something seems to be happening here!" Su Yao exclaimed.

They immediately became alert, ready to deal with any possible danger. Just then, a group of figures emerged from the shadows of the hall. Shrouded in a black mist, their faces were indistinct, and one could only sense the powerful dark aura emanating from them.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Xu Tiancai asked loudly.

A sinister voice came from the mist: "We are the guardians of darkness. This is our territory. You intruders will pay for your actions."

With that, the dark figures launched an attack on Xu Tiancai and the others. They released black energy beams from their hands, striking Xu Tiancai and his group. Xu Tiancai quickly unleashed his star power, forming a shield to block the attack.

Su Yao, Alice, and Lin quickly joined the battle. Su Yao cast a spell, summoning fire and frost to attack the enemy. Alice used her mental power to try to disrupt the enemy's actions. Lin controlled the spacecraft's weapons system and fired at the enemy.

However, these dark figures were extremely powerful, and their attacks seemed to absorb the power of the stars, greatly reducing the effectiveness of Xu Tiancai and his companions' attacks. In the fierce battle, Xu Tiancai and his companions gradually fell into trouble.

"This is not a solution. We must find their weaknesses," said Xu Tiancai.

As he fought, he observed the enemy's movements. Suddenly, he noticed that the mist surrounding these dark figures would briefly dissipate when they attacked. He realized that this might be their weakness.

"Everyone, concentrate your attacks on the places where the mist on them dissipates!" Xu Tiancai shouted.

Following Xu Tiancai's instructions, they adjusted their attack strategy. Sure enough, when their attacks hit the enemy's part where the mist had dissipated, the enemy would cry out in pain and the force of their attack would weaken.

After a fierce battle, Xu Tiancai and his companions finally managed to repel the dark figures. However, they did not let down their guard, as they knew the dangers here were far greater than this.

Just as they were about to continue exploring, the floor of the hall suddenly cracked, revealing a massive abyss before them. From the abyss emanated a powerful suction force, as if to swallow them all.

Xu Tiancai and the others clung to nearby objects, struggling to resist the suction. Just as they were feeling hopeless, Xu Tiancai suddenly noticed the light in the crystal ball grow brighter. Something clicked in his mind, as if an idea had occurred to him.

He quickly injected the power of the stars into the crystal ball, which immediately released a powerful force, offsetting the suction of the abyss. At the same time, a beam of light shot out from the crystal ball, illuminating the entire abyss.

Following the light, they discovered a huge stone platform at the bottom of the abyss. On the platform lay a book emitting golden light. Xu Tiancai realized that this book might be the key clue they had been looking for.

He jumped into the abyss without hesitation and flew towards the stone platform. As he approached the stone platform, he felt a strong pressure, but with his tenacious will and the protection of the power of the stars, he successfully landed on the stone platform.

He picked up the golden book, the cover of which bore the words "Origin of the Universe." The moment he opened it, a powerful wave of energy surged from it, instantly spreading throughout the hall.

Xu Tiancai began to read the book, and as he read deeper, a look of shock crossed his face. It turned out that the book contained the origin of the universe and the true secret of stellar power. Stellar power wasn't a naturally occurring force within the universe, but rather came from a mysterious world beyond. This mysterious world was inextricably linked to their own universe, and the cosmic abyss was the connecting point between the two.

The dark forces have been trying to control the abyss of the universe, obtain the source of the power of the stars, and thus rule the entire universe. The mission of Xu Tiancai and his team is to protect the power of the stars and stop the conspiracy of the dark forces.

Just as Xu Tiancai was immersed in the knowledge in the book, a violent energy fluctuation suddenly came from above the hall. They looked up and saw a huge dark vortex forming, emitting a powerful dark force.

"Oh no, the dark forces are about to attack again! We must leave here as soon as possible." Xu Tiancai said.

They quickly returned to the spaceship, carrying the golden book. Xu Tiancai piloted the spaceship, rushing towards the exit. As they left the abyss, they were constantly attacked by dark forces, but Xu Tiancai, relying on his superb piloting skills and the protection of the power of the stars, managed to escape danger time and time again.

Finally, they successfully escaped the cosmic abyss. Returning to normal space, they breathed a sigh of relief. However, they knew the battle had only just begun. The forces of darkness would not relent. They must quickly and thoroughly study the knowledge contained in the book, enhance their own strength, and prepare for the greater challenges to come.

Xu Tiancai gazed at the golden book in his hands, his heart filled with unwavering faith. He knew they shouldered the heavy responsibility of protecting the universe. No matter how many difficulties and dangers lay ahead, they would bravely forge ahead, uncover the secrets of the power of the stars, and fight for peace and justice in the universe...
