After stabilizing the Spacetime Rift, Ava and Xavier returned to Interstellar Alliance Headquarters with the expeditionary force. The Alliance Council hosted a grand celebratory ceremony for them, but both knew in their hearts that this was only a temporary victory and the universe's crisis was far from over.
Xavier led his scientific research team in diving headfirst into the study of the Spacetime Rift and the mysterious creatures. They discovered that the mysterious creatures hailed from a parallel universe with highly advanced technology but scarce resources. The emergence of the Spacetime Rift represented a crucial opportunity for them to acquire resources, which was why they had desperately tried to obstruct efforts to stabilize the rift. To prevent them from invading through the rift again, Xavier's team began developing a technology capable of sealing the rift, utilizing the principle of quantum entanglement to construct an energy barrier that ensured the rift could not be opened at will.
Ava, meanwhile, dedicated herself to strengthening the military power and emergency systems of the Interstellar Alliance. She organized multiple cross-planet military exercises to enhance the collaborative combat capabilities of various planetary armed forces. She also improved the alliance's intelligence network, establishing monitoring stations across the universe to closely monitor the Spacetime Rift and other potential crisis points.
