As he pondered, Seraphina walked over.
"Lin Ye, let me analyze this data."
The Virgo Mark glowed faintly on her body, granting her extraordinary analytical abilities.
Seraphina carefully examined every number and every curve on the screen.
Her eyes worked like a precision computer, rapidly processing vast amounts of information.

At the same time, the Sagittarius Mark conveyed a vision of the future.
In those glimpses of the future, he saw what the universe would become if they accepted the Observers' proposal:

"Observer Alpha, thank you for your proposal, but I must refuse."
Thunderous cheers erupted in the command center as every Alliance warrior applauded his decision.
"I believe in the power of free will," Lin Ye continued.
"Conflict and mistakes are the price of growth, but that doesn't mean we should
