Chapter 10: A New Crisis and a Mysterious Invitation

Under the command of the Federal Academy of Sciences, the starship slowly sailed away from the orbit of the planet Sailon and headed for the depths of the Netherworld. Lin Yi stood in the cockpit, staring through the porthole into the endless darkness ahead. His heart is full of anticipation and uneasiness, the secrets of the heart of the abyss have been revealed, but a new crisis seems to be quietly approaching. "Lin Yi, we have entered the depths of the Netherworld." Su Yao's voice came from behind him, breaking Lin Yi's contemplation. She held the detector in her hand, and a faint blue light flashed on the screen, "According to the research of the Federal Academy of Sciences, there is a hidden relic of an ancient civilization here, which may be the origin of the Heart of the Abyss. Lin Yi nodded, turned to look at Su Yao, "Yaoyao, what do you think we will find here?" Su Yao's face had a hint of seriousness: "I don't know, but the information from the Federal Academy of Sciences shows that this relic may hide more secrets of the Heart of the Star Abyss." We must be careful, this place is full of unknown energy fluctuations that can be dangerous. Renault patted his heavy weapon and said in a bold tone, "As long as it's not those dark creatures, I'm fine." There's danger, I'll take care of it. Alice frowned slightly, her purple eyes flashing, "What I'm worried about is the energy fluctuations here. My psychic powers may be disturbed here, unable to perceive the dangers around me as they do at the Federal Academy of Sciences. Lin Yi nodded, his heart full of vigilance: "We are ready, the next task is to explore this ruin." No matter what difficulties we encounter, we must work together to overcome them. The starship slowly landed in the depths of the Netherworld. In front of me was an endless darkness, as if even the light had been swallowed up by the land. Lin Yi and his team put on special protective clothing and prepared to set foot on this mysterious land. "Be careful, everyone, it's a very harsh environment here." Lin Yi's voice sounded in the communicator of the protective suit, "We don't know what is hidden in this ruin, so we must always be vigilant." The team members nodded and checked their gear. Renault's heavy weapon was ready, Su Yao held the detector tightly, and Alice closed her eyes, trying to perceive her surroundings with her spiritual powers. "I felt a powerful wave of energy." Alice's voice rang out over the communicator, "The ruins are nearby, but we have to be careful, the energy fluctuations here are very erratic. Lin Yi nodded, his gaze falling on the badge: "The badge will guide us to the ruins." We follow its guidance. They cautiously walked into the depths of the Netherworld, the darkness around them clinging to them like living creatures, making them feel an invisible sense of oppression. Lin Yi could feel that the heat of the badge was rising, which meant that they were approaching their goal. However, as they delve deeper into the ruins, their surroundings become more dangerous. "Everyone, pay attention, the energy fluctuations here are getting stronger and stronger." There was a hint of nervousness in Su Yao's voice, "We have to speed up." Just then, a huge storm of energy swept in from afar, enveloping them in a dark light. Lin Yi could feel a powerful energy fluctuation, as if the ruins themselves were a huge source of energy. "It's an energy storm!" Alice's voice had a hint of solemnity in it, "Be careful, everyone, it may interfere with our actions. Lin Yi nodded, his heart full of vigilance: "We have to find the ruins as soon as possible and get out of here." They continued their journey through the Netherworld, the dark energy surging around them, as if to consume them. Lin Yi could feel that the heat of the badge was rising, which meant that they were close to their goal. However, as they delve deeper into the ruins, their surroundings become more dangerous. "Be careful!" Alice suddenly shouted, her mental power sensing a hint of abnormality. As soon as she finished speaking, a huge pillar of dark energy rushed out of the ground and came straight towards Lin Yi. Lin Yi quickly dodged and dodged the attack of the dark energy pillar. He could feel a powerful wave of energy, as if the ruins themselves were a huge source of energy. "What is this?" There was a hint of surprise in Renault's voice, "There are still creatures in this ruin?" "No, it's not a creature." Alice's voice had a hint of solemnity in it, "This is the power of the ruins. The land is guarded by some powerful energy that does not allow outsiders to approach the origin of the Heart of the Abyss. Lin Yi nodded, his heart full of vigilance: "We have to find a way to break through its defenses, otherwise we won't be able to find the ruins." "I'll try." Su Yao said, the detector in her hand emitted a faint light, and energy ripples spread out from the detector, trying to interfere with the energy storm. However, the energy storm was far stronger than they expected, and the probe's glow seemed insignificant in the darkness. The energy of the ruins came like a tidal wave, trying to consume them. "No, the energy storm is too strong!" There was a hint of anxiety in Su Yao's voice, "We have to get closer!" Lin Yi clenched the badge and felt it tremble slightly in his chest, as if echoing the energy in the depths of the ruins. I'll lead the way. He shouted, and the badge emitted a soft glow that illuminated the path ahead. "Follow me!" Lin Yi strode forward, and the team members followed. They walked through the labyrinth of dark energy, which stabbed in the face like a knife, but no one dared to slow down. At this moment, a huge wall of dark energy suddenly rose from the ground, blocking their path. The dark energy wall shimmered with a dark light, as if it was manipulated by some mysterious force. "This is the guardian power of the ruins." Alice's voice rang out over the communicator, "It's trying to stop us from advancing. "We don't have time!" Lin Yi shouted, and his badge suddenly emitted a strong light that hit the dark energy wall. The dark wall of energy trembled slightly under the impact of the light, but it did not shatter. "I'm here to help!" Renault raised his heavy weapon and fired a shuttle of bullets into the wall of dark energy. Dark energy splashed everywhere, but the wall remained as strong as ever. "My spiritual power can weaken its energy!" Alice closed her eyes, her purple eyes glinting, and spiritual fluctuations emanated from her, impacting the dark energy wall. "The probe is ready, too!" Su Yao shouted, and the detector emitted energy waves, echoing with Alice's spiritual power, impacting the dark energy wall together. With the combined efforts of the three of them, a crack finally appeared in the dark energy wall. Lin Yi seized the opportunity, and the emblem shone brightly, and the light pierced into the crack like a sharp blade, and the dark energy wall shattered under the impact of the light. "Hurry, now!" Lin Yi shouted, and the team members quickly passed through the shattered dark energy wall and headed towards the depths. They made their way through the labyrinth of dark energy and finally came to an open dark place. In the center of the Dark Lands, a massive ruin stands in the dark energy, and in the center of the ruin is a crystal that glows with a dark light, the origin of the Heart of the Abyss. "That's it!" There was a hint of excitement in Su Yao's voice, "This is the relic we are looking for!" Lin Yi stepped forward and reached out to touch the crystal. The badge fluttered slightly in his chest, resonating with the energy of the crystal. He could feel a powerful energy coming from the crystal, as if welcoming this long-lost partner. "There's a special connection between the relics and the coat of arms." There was a hint of amazement in Su Yao's voice, "It seems that we have really found the right direction." "We need to get out of here." Renault scanned around vigilantly, his heavy weapon still in his hand, "The power of this relic won't let us go easily. Alice nodded slightly, her purple eyes glinting, "I agree." Now that we've found the ruins, it's up to us to unlock more of the Abyss' secrets. Lin Yi nodded, his heart was full of determination: "Okay, let's return to the battleship immediately and prepare to leave the Netherworld." However, just as they were about to leave, the entire ruins suddenly began to shake violently, as if awakened by some powerful force. Dark energies poured in from all directions like a tidal wave, enveloping them in a dark vortex. "Be careful!" Lin Yi shouted, and his badge emitted a strong light, trying to resist the invasion of dark energy. But this time, the power of the ruins far exceeded their expectations, as if it was about to swallow them completely. "This is the last resistance of the ruins!" There was a hint of solemnity in Alice's voice, "It doesn't want us to take away more secrets from the Abyss Heart!" "We can't stay here for too long!" There was a hint of anxiety in Su Yao's voice, "The erosion of dark energy will weaken our power!" Lin Yi took a deep breath, his badge was shining brightly, as if echoing the power of the crystal: "I'll try to fuse the crystal with the badge, maybe I can break this darkness!" He held the crystal in his hand close to the badge on his chest, and the two energies instantly resonated, emitting a dazzling light. The tremors of the ruins seemed to have reached their peak at this moment, and the dark energy came upon them like a raging storm. "Hold on!" Renault shouted, and his heavy weapon kept firing, trying to buy Lin Yi time. Alice and Su Yao unleashed their power with all their might, trying to resist the erosion of dark energy. With the combined efforts of the three of them, Lin Yi finally fused the crystal with the badge. A powerful energy burst out from his body, instantly illuminating the entire ruins. The dark energy gradually dissipated under the impact of the light, and the vibration of the ruins gradually subsided. "It worked!" There was a hint of surprise in Su Yao's voice, "The power of the ruins has been suppressed!" Lin Yi nodded, his badge became even more dazzling after fusing the crystal, as if it contained endless power: "We have to get out of here quickly, the power of the ruins may explode again at any time." The team members quickly ran in the direction of the battleship. At the edge of the ruins, the hatches of the starships have been opened, waiting for their return. In the aftermath of the dark energy, Lin Yi and his team members finally rushed out of the ruins and boarded the battleship. "Close the hatch and start the ship!" Lin Yi said loudly, his badge flashing on his chest, as if to guide them in the right direction. The ship's engines let out a low roar as it slowly moved away from the ruins. Lin Yi stood in the cockpit, looking at the ruins that were gradually disappearing, his heart was full of emotion. "We've completed the second step." There was a hint of firmness in his voice, "Next, we need to unravel more secrets of the Heart of the Abyss. The star-troopers flew through the dark universe and headed in the direction of the Federal Academy of Sciences. Lin Yi stood in the observation cabin, looking at the starry sky outside the window, his heart was full of anticipation and uneasiness. They've already gotten more secrets of the Abyss Heart, but the next task will be even more daunting. "Lin Yi, what are you thinking?" Su Yao's voice came from behind him, interrupting his musings. Lin Yi turned around, his gaze falling on the badge: "I'm wondering what more secrets of the Heart of the Star Abyss will be. Can it really balance the energy of the universe? Su Yao smiled slightly, with a hint of firmness in her eyes: "We will know the answer soon." The equipment of the Federal Academy of Sciences will help us unravel everything.Lin Yi nodded, his heart full of confidence. They are a team, and no matter what lies ahead, they will face it together. A few days later, the starship slowly landed at the base of the Federal Academy of Sciences. Lin Yi and his team members stepped off the battleship, and they were greeted by senior leaders of the Federal Academy of Sciences and a group of scientific researchers. The base commander stepped forward and stretched out his hand to Lin Yi: "Lin Yi, you have done a very good job. More secrets of the Heart of the Abyss have been revealed, and the next task is up to us. Lin Yi nodded and handed the crystal in the ruins to the commander: "I hope you can unlock its secret as soon as possible." Su Yao walked up to Lin Yi and said softly, "Lin Yi, let's go to the laboratory together." I want to see for myself the moment when more secrets of the Heart of the Abyss are revealed. Lin Yi nodded, his heart full of anticipation. Together, they walked into the laboratory of the Federal Academy of Sciences, a huge circular building with walls covered with instruments and screens that shimmered blue. In the center of the laboratory, a transparent energy shield is ready, waiting for the crystals in the ruins. The Commander placed the crystal into the energy shield, and the crystal instantly glowed brightly, and the entire laboratory was illuminated. Lin Yi and the team members gathered around the energy shield, their eyes firmly fixed on the changes in the crystal. "The energy of the Heart of the Abyss is awakening." There was a hint of excitement in Su Yao's voice, "We're finally about to uncover more of its secrets." The light of the crystal became more and more intense, and Lin Yi could feel a powerful energy fluctuation, as if the entire laboratory was trembling. He clenched his fists, his heart full of tension and anticipation. "Be careful, everyone." Lin Yi reminded in a low voice, "The energy of the Heart of the Star Abyss is very powerful, we don't know what will happen. At this moment, the light of the crystal suddenly converged into a pillar of light, which soared into the sky. The ceiling of the laboratory was broken through by a pillar of light, and the light sprinkled down like a waterfall, enveloping the entire laboratory in a sea of light. "What is this?" There was a hint of surprise in Renault's voice, "What the hell is the Heart of the Abyss?" Alice frowned slightly, her purple eyes flashing, "I felt a powerful spiritual power. It's not just energy, it's some kind of message. Su Yao held the probe tightly, with a hint of nervousness on her face: "The probe shows that the energy of the Heart of the Star Abyss is resonating with the energy of the entire universe. This could be a cosmic event. Lin Yi nodded, his heart full of shock. The energy of the Heart of the Abyss is so powerful, it is not just an artifact, but also a hub that connects the entire universe. The pillar of light lasted for several minutes before slowly disappearing. The lab was calm again, but Lin Yi and the team knew that it had just begun. "More secrets of the Heart of the Abyss have finally been revealed." There was a hint of excitement in Su Yao's voice, "It's not just an artifact, it's a hub that connects the entire universe. Its energy can balance the energy of the universe, but it can also cause great disasters. Lin Yi nodded, his gaze falling on the crystal: "We must be careful to use the power of the Heart of the Abyss. It is a double-edged sword that can bring both hope and destruction. The base commander stepped forward, his face with a hint of seriousness: "Lin Yi, you have done a very good job. More secrets of the Abyss Heart have been revealed, and the next task is to ensure that its power is not abused. The Federal Academy of Sciences will establish a special team to study and manage the Heart of the Abyss. Lin Yi nodded, his heart filled with a sense of responsibility: "We will continue to assist you to ensure that the power of the Heart of the Abyss is used correctly." Su Yao smiled slightly, and there was a hint of firmness in her eyes: "Lin Yi, we have experienced so much together, I believe that we will definitely be able to protect the heart of Xingyuan." Lin Yi nodded, his heart full of confidence. They are a team, and no matter what lies ahead, they will face it together. A few days later, the Federal Academy of Sciences officially announced that more secrets of the Heart of the Abyss had been successfully unraveled and could be used to balance the energy of the universe. The news spread throughout the Federation, and people cheered and celebrated this great achievement. However, Lin Yi and the team members remained vigilant. They knew that although the power of the Heart of the Abyss was strong, it was also very dangerous. They must ensure that its power is not abused, or it could trigger an unpredictable catastrophe. "Lin Yi, what do you think we should do next?" Su Yao's voice came from behind him, interrupting Lin Yi's contemplation. Lin Yi turned around and smiled slightly: "Yaoyao, I think we should continue to explore the mysteries of the universe. The Heart of the Abyss is just the beginning, and there are countless secrets in the universe waiting to be revealed. Su Yao nodded, with a hint of anticipation in her eyes: "Yes, our adventure has just begun. Whatever lies ahead, we will face it together. Lin Yi nodded, his heart full of determination. They are a team, and no matter what lies ahead, they will face it together. The starship starts up again and flies towards the unknown depths of the universe. Lin Yi stood in the cockpit, looking at the starry sky in front of him, his heart was full of anticipation and uneasiness. They have uncovered more secrets of the Heart of the Abyss, but there are countless mysteries in the universe waiting to be explored. "Whatever lies ahead, I'm going to keep going." Lin Yi said silently in his heart, his gaze firm and powerful. And on his chest, the mysterious badge flickered slightly, as if in response to his determination. It knows that this adventure has only just begun, and its chosen master is ready. Starships fly through the vastness of the universe and sail towards an unknown future. Lin Yi and the team's hearts are full of antiquity and uneasiness, but they are ready, no matter what lies ahead, they will face it together. "Our adventure has just begun." Lin Yi's voice sounded inside the battleship, and his gaze was firm and powerful. Su Yao smiled slightly, with a hint of firmness in her eyes: "Yes, no matter what lies ahead, we will face it together." Renault laughed and patted Lin Yi on the shoulder: "Well said!" Lin Yi, I always knew you were a reliable guy. With you, I'm not afraid of anything. Alice also smiled slightly, and a glimmer of light flashed in her purple eyes: "I will do my best to protect everyone." The power of our spirits will find light in the darkness. Lin Yi nodded, his heart full of confidence. He knows that they are a team, and as long as they work together, they will overcome all difficulties. Starships fly through the universe and sail towards an unknown future. Lin Yi stood in the cockpit, looking at the starry sky in front of him, his heart was full of anticipation and uneasiness. They have uncovered more secrets of the Heart of the Abyss, but there are countless mysteries in the universe waiting to be explored. "Whatever lies ahead, I'm going to keep going." Lin Yi said silently in his heart, his gaze firm and powerful. And on his chest, the mysterious badge flickered slightly, as if in response to his determination. It knows that this adventure has only just begun, and its chosen master is ready.
