People in Conferred Gods: Rising from humble beginnings, I am the God of Wealth

Yang Xuan: ???
This is given to me?
Yang Xuan was slightly taken aback when he saw the jade book that December had placed in his hand.

The Zhou Tian Star Array is a renowned and unparalleled array in the primordial world, one of the strongest arrays in the entire primordial world.

In Yang Xuan's view, these quotas for repairing stars alone are not enough to exchange for the array diagram of the Zhou Tian Star Array; the gap between the two is too great.

Moreover, by involving the demon race in the restoration of the stars, most of the benefits would come to the demon race as a whole.

As the person who facilitated this event in December, he could certainly enhance his prestige, which would be beneficial for him to become the ruler of the demon race.

However, December itself did not gain much benefit, so how can it be compared to the value of the Zhou Tian Star Array?
Yang Xuan's original intention was to help December enhance the authority of the Taiyin Star. If all else failed, he could relinquish the title of Lord of the Stars.

For him, the title of Lord of the Stars was merely an empty name, a byproduct of setting up the Zhou Tian Star Array and connecting the ancient starry sky celestial abacus.

If we can obtain the diagram of the Zhou Tian Star Array and set it up, we can restore the ancient starry sky.

If he can use the ancient starry sky for his own purposes and freely mobilize the power of the stars, then he has achieved his goal. Whether he has the title of Lord of the Starry Sky or not is not important.

Unexpectedly, December didn't give him a chance to bargain at all and directly took out the array diagram of the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array.

December seemed to have read Yang Xuan's mind, shrugged, and revealed a mischievous smile.

"Since Your Majesty has said so, this humble deity will naturally comply."

"That was not what I meant……"

"I know." Before Yang Xuan could finish speaking, December waved her hand, her smile fading, her expression turning serious as she said earnestly:

"Fellow Daoist is right. Everything must be done according to the rules. Without a corresponding price, it will be difficult to convince the public."
Fellow Daoist is willing to give the demon race this opportunity, and the demon race should be grateful. The Zhou Tian Star Array is the price that should be paid, and besides..."

At this point, December paused slightly, looked up at the distant sky, and appeared somewhat melancholy.

"Furthermore, the value of the Zhou Tian Star Array is not as great as you think, fellow Daoist."

"Now that this starry sky belongs to the Heavenly Court, what use would it be for me to possess the Zhou Tian Star Array? It's better to let it exert its last bit of power, exchanging it for an opportunity for the demon race."

Although December had some reservations about Di Jun's actions, she didn't have much affection for the demon race.

But witnessing the decline of the once-powerful demon race and the deaths of countless members still fills me with a profound sense of loss.

"...Since you have said so, then we shall do as you say."

Yang Xuan remained silent for a moment, then nodded, accepted the array diagram of the Zhou Tian Star Array, and said nothing more.

However, Yang Xuan always valued cause and effect and had no habit of taking benefits from others for nothing.

Of course, 'borrowing' is not the same as 'taking', so it cannot be included in this category.

In Yang Xuan's view, the value of the Zhou Tian Star Array is greater than the quota given to the demon race by the Heavenly Court, and he cannot take advantage of December.

As for how to do it, Yang Xuan already had some ideas. There was no need to rush; they could wait until things were done before making any decisions.

Afterwards, Yang Xuan sat down next to December and began to study the Zhou Tian Star Array. When he encountered something he didn't understand, he would ask December, the demon princess.

During the Lich Wars, December was the one who presided over the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array and had a certain understanding of this array.

After the Lich War ended, the array diagram of the Zhou Tian Star Array fell into her hands, even though she was not good at array formations.

Over the years, his understanding of the Zhou Tian Star Array has far surpassed that of others.

Unless Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi return, December can be said to be the person who understands the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Formation the most.

With December's help, and given that Yang Xuan was already a master of formations, in just over a thousand years, Yang Xuan's understanding of the Zhou Tian Star Array was not much inferior to December's.

The Zhou Tian Star Array truly lives up to its reputation as one of the top arrays in the primordial world; its mysteries are extraordinary.

Strictly speaking, the Zhou Tian Star Array should be the earliest composite array in the primordial world, and this array can be considered to consist of two parts.

Firstly, it can be considered the main part.

The Zhou Tian Star Array does not necessarily require the corresponding array bases to be set up on all the stars in the Zhou Tian constellation in order to activate the array's power.

By setting up an array on the 365 main stars and using them as the base, the power of the Zhou Tian Star Array can be initially unleashed.

According to the concept of a composite array, this part is the most important main framework.

Secondly, there's the add-on component.

Fourteen thousand eight hundred auxiliary stars, as well as countless scattered stars, can also be arranged into corresponding formations to enhance the power of the Zhou Tian Star Array.

The more auxiliary stars and scattered stars it encompasses, the stronger the power of the Zhou Tian Star Array will be.

Now, the primordial world has successfully evolved into the Three Realms, and the ancient starry sky has become even more vast, with the number of stars increasing nearly threefold.

Once the ancient starry sky is repaired, the Zhou Tian Star Array will be set up again, and its power will definitely be stronger than during the Lich War.

It is precisely because the Zhou Tian Star Array can be divided into two parts that this array has extremely high plasticity and inclusiveness.

As long as the 315 main stars remain unchanged, the 14,800 auxiliary stars and countless scattered stars can be changed at will.
This allows for the addition of new elements to the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array, or changes to some of its existing effects.

At least in Yang Xuan's view, based on the concept of composite formations, the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Formation can be adjusted in this way.

We'll have to put it into practice to find out for sure.

Therefore, based on this concept, Yang Xuan made changes according to the needs of restoring the ancient starry sky.

More than 30,000 years later, Yang Xuan innovated upon the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array and formally incorporated the concept of a composite grand array.

This transformed the formation from an offensive one into one with added functionality, encompassing a wider range of stars.

More importantly, Yang Xuan applied the concept of composite arrays, breaking down the Zhou Tian Star Array into countless independent yet closely connected parts.

The previous Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array only had the shadow of a composite grand array, but the operation of the array relied on a core part composed of 365 main stars.

The external components, consisting of 14,800 auxiliary stars and countless scattered stars, cannot operate independently.
Moreover, its effect was singular: to enhance the stellar power that the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array could mobilize. But now, the core of the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array can operate autonomously, as can the external components.

Even if you only set up an array on a secondary star as the array base, it can still operate autonomously and exert the corresponding effect.

If we take this auxiliary star as the center, connect it to the surrounding scattered stars, and arrange the array base on the corresponding stars...
This allows the power of these stars to be mobilized, enhancing the power of this part of the formation and producing a stronger effect.

In other words, after incorporating the concept of a composite grand formation, the Zhou Tian Star Array is no longer composed of only two parts, but rather an independently operating part composed of 14,800 auxiliary stars.

These 14,800 auxiliary stars, connected to countless other stars, form an independent part that can also be combined to further unleash the power of this formation.

The greatest power of this Zhou Tian Star Array lies in its use of 14,800 auxiliary stars to connect all the scattered stars, linking them together to form an incredibly vast array.

Then, it connects with the core components to form the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array!
In this way, the complexity of the Zhou Tian Star Array increases exponentially.

Even a master of formations like Yang Xuan, with the computational power of a quasi-saint and the full assistance of Twelve Months, still spent over 30,000 years to initially complete the modification of the Zhou Tian Star Array.

While it's not true that the more complex the formation, the stronger its power, the greater the power of the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Formation will certainly be after incorporating concepts that align with grand formations.

More importantly, each of the 14,800 auxiliary stars can be independently arranged into formations to form part of the Zhou Tian Star Array, exerting corresponding effects and thus solving the problem of repairing the ancient starry sky.

One of the new effects of the Zhou Tian Star Array is that it can automatically repair the ancient starry sky.

Now, once the 14,800 auxiliary stars are repaired, they can be used as a basis to set up 14,800 small formations, mobilizing the power of the stars to repair the surrounding stars on their own.

By taking these 14,800 auxiliary stars as the center, repairing the surrounding scattered stars, and setting up corresponding formations, the scale of these small formations can be expanded, and more stellar power can be mobilized.

As long as this method is followed, the more stars are repaired, the stronger the array's power will be, and the faster it will repair the ancient starry sky.

In the initial stages, it did not help the celestial beings and gods in the Heavenly Court to repair the ancient starry sky; on the contrary, it increased their workload.

However, as more stars are repaired and more array bases are added, this assistance will gradually become apparent, making it easier and more efficient for the celestial gods and immortals to repair the ancient starry sky.

Moreover, during this process, the foundation of the Zhou Tian Star Array can be laid out. When the ancient starry sky is repaired, that will be the day the Zhou Tian Star Array will be established!
In addition, Yang Xuan only made preliminary changes to the Zhou Tian Star Array, and there are still many details that need to be optimized and changed.

During the restoration of the ancient starry sky, Yang Xuan could also make corresponding adjustments by observing the operation of 14,800 array groups, which was a trial operation phase.

If all goes well, the Zhou Tian Star Array may be able to approach perfection before the ancient starry sky is repaired, making its operation smoother and the connections between its components closer.

These are all things to be discussed later, and belong to Yang Xuan's future arrangements and the evil corpse's mission.

The task at hand now is to put the deployment of the formation into practice.

More than 30,000 years have passed since Yang Xuan announced the ancient starry sky restoration plan, and the Heavenly Court has completed the selection of personnel.

More than 30,000 years ago, in December, the matter was told to Kunpeng, Bai Ze and other high-ranking members of the demon race, so that they could arrange for the demon race to ascend to heaven.

Such readily available benefits are something countless people would be eager to participate in.

Even without December's special instructions, Kunpeng, Bai Ze, and other high-ranking members of the demon race knew the rules of the Heavenly Court and Yang Xuan's style of doing things; it was impossible for him to include just any demon.

Over the years, they have gone through layers of screening to ensure there are no problems before being sent to the Heavenly Court for review by the Temple of Fate.

In the ancient starry sky, countless celestial gods and demon trainees are repairing the stars.

Even though these immortals and gods are just getting started and are not yet familiar with the methods of repairing stars, and cannot use the authority of trainee star lords to mobilize the power of the stars,

Haotian and the Queen Mother could also clearly see that the speed at which the stars were being repaired was much faster than before!

Just as the Heavenly Court was busily repairing the ancient starry sky, December arrived at the Temple of Fate with Yang Xuan's edict, handing over 14,800 array diagrams to Shen Gongbao and instructing him:

"This is an array created by the Emperor, capable of accelerating the repair of the ancient starry sky. Deliver it to the trainee star lord of the corresponding star."
"Then send someone to oversee the process, ensuring that the formation is deployed immediately after the corresponding star is repaired, leaving no stone unturned!"

In December, Shen Gongbao was not told that this was part of the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array, nor was the effect of these arrays explained in detail.

She had already learned from Yang Xuan that there might be potential enemies in the prehistoric world, and these people might not be willing to repair the ancient starry sky.

If these potential enemies knew that Yang Xuan was rearranging the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array, and that it was a newly innovated array, they probably wouldn't just stand by and watch.

The ancient starry sky has now expanded to about three times its original size. Even the original Zhou Tian Star Array is estimated to have power comparable to that of a saint!
If she were an enemy of the Primordial World, she would absolutely not want to see the Zhou Tian Star Array set up. Therefore, the fewer people who know about this, the better.

"I understand!" Shen Gongbao nodded without asking any further questions.

That's how he always does things. He doesn't ask questions he shouldn't ask. As long as he knows that this formation was created by Yang Xuan and can speed up the repair of the ancient starry sky, that's enough.

He then arranged for key members of the Temple of Fate to distribute these array diagrams and established inspection teams specifically responsible for the acceptance of stars and arrays.

Of course, Yang Xuan was not a ruthless capitalist like those of later generations. He did not let people work for free; there were bonuses for completing the tasks.

That's why no one complained about the extra workload; on the contrary, they worked even harder.

Some trainee star lords who were not good at array formations would bring small gifts to consult with immortals and gods who were proficient in array formations, or simply ask immortals and gods for help, in order to ensure that the array formations would not have any problems.

It was precisely because of the autonomy of these immortals and gods that, although there was an extra workload in setting up the formation, the overall progress was not slowed down too much.

It is conceivable that as more formations are set up, the speed of repairing the ancient starry sky will increase dramatically. Perhaps it will only take one or two eons to completely repair the ancient starry sky!
As the greatest contributor to this matter, Yang Xuan received a message from Fuxi and quietly left the Heavenly Court, arriving at the Fire Cloud Cave of the Human Race, where he met an unexpected person.

This man was dressed in a Tai Chi Taoist robe, with white hair and beard. His aura blended seamlessly with the surrounding environment. If not seen with the naked eye, even a quasi-saint would probably find it difficult to detect the existence of this old Taoist.

This old Taoist priest was none other than the benevolent corpse of the Supreme Saint, the renowned Laozi.

Yang Xuan did not expect to meet Laozi here, but he did not lose his manners and quickly bowed.

"I have seen Laojun!"

Lao Tzu nodded and took out a Taiji diagram from his sleeve.

The Tai Chi diagram possessed a spirit, spontaneously rotating and rising into the sky, eventually transforming into a massive Yin-Yang Tai Chi circle, which merged into the Fiery Cloud Cave Heaven to conceal the secrets of heaven and complete all of this.

After doing all this, he finally spoke:
"The reason I have sought you all out is to delay the great rise of Buddhism in the West." (End of Chapter)
