She connected the locations of the five marks on the star map, forming a perfect pentagram.
The geometric center of that pentagram was precisely where the Chaotic Void was about to awaken.
"This is definitely no coincidence." Fear tinged Seraphina's voice.
"The locations of the five marks were carefully calculated."
"They form some kind of energy-gathering formation."
Etna's eyes also flashed with concern upon seeing this discovery.
"If that's true, then the process of collecting the marks may itself be a massive trap."
"Every mark we collect will provide more energy for the Chaotic Void's awakening."
"When all five marks are in place, it may directly trigger the final awakening ritual."
Lin Ye tightly gripped the crystal ball, sensing the information flowing from within it.
If this speculation was true, then all their efforts so far might have merely been serving the enemy.
But without collecting the marks, they could not gain the power needed to oppose the Chaotic Void.
It was a perfect trap, a vicious cycle.
"Is there any way to break it?" he asked.
Etna pondered for a long time. "Theoretically, there is one possibility."

Seraphina nodded. "Based on location and difficulty, I suggest we go for the Sagittarius Mark first."
"That wandering planet is still within our sphere
