Investiture of the Gods: I am Bigan, the Master of Conspiracy

Chapter 16 Peeping into Fate
"It's the year of Jiazi, and the world is blessed with good fortune! What a domineering day, but also appropriate!"

Speaking of this, Luo Shen couldn't help but admire.

Yin Ziyu's gaze fell on Luo Shen's focused face. Seeing Luo Shen nod slightly, Yin Ziyu continued to elaborate: "The year is divided into twelve months, and each cycle is sixty months. Each month has thirty days, and every two months, the five elements complete a cycle. A day is divided into twelve hours. The order of the hours remains constant, but the corresponding heavenly stems change over time. In this way, the system of years, months, days, and hours is determined. Once we have fully perfected these sixty Jiazi, we can promulgate it to the world as the Great Shang Calendar, for all people to follow, so that our Great Shang can find the precise timeline in the movement of heaven and earth."

Luo Shen's eyes were filled with anticipation, and he couldn't help but ask, "Fellow Daoist Zi Yu, I wonder if this sophisticated and complete sacrificial system, and this brand-new and established Great Shang Calendar, will stir up the world!"

Luo Shen stared at Yin Ziyu closely, and her admiration for him was already welling up in her heart.

Yin Ziyu raised his head slightly, a determined glint in his eyes. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he spoke confidently, "Jia is the first of the Heavenly Stems, symbolizing the beginning of all things and the flourishing vitality; Zi is the first of the Earthly Branches, representing the agility of water, giving birth to everything. When the year of Jiazi arrives, the first of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches will meet. This will be a great omen of harmony between heaven and earth, and the harmony of yin and yang. At that time, we will promote this sacrificial system and the Great Shang Calendar throughout the world. It will surely make my Great Shang prosperous, and between you and me, there will be great merit!"

Luo Shen sighed, "This is all thanks to Brother Ziyu. How can Concubine Mi share the credit?"

Yin Ziyu shook his head: "No, you must obtain this merit. It is also a way to maintain the reputation of your father, Emperor Fuxi!"

No matter what, in the future catastrophe, Yin Ziyu brought Mi Fei into the group and saved Fuxi.

And when the legal system is truly transferred in the future, Fuxi will also be a supporter.

There is no doubt that if the legal system is truly transferred in the future, it will be a cataclysmic event.

By then, the human race’s legal system will only respect Nuwa.

Fuxi is Nuwa's elder brother, so the threat to him is small.

Moreover, Fuxi was the first emperor to restore order to the human race after the Lich Catastrophe, and he did not determine the future order.

It is because for tens of thousands of years after Xuanyuan, all bloodlines were descendants of Xuanyuan, so sacrifices were mainly to Xuanyuan, and Fuxi was marginalized.

Moreover, the Tuwu Sword was renamed the Xuanyuan Sword, and the glory of the ancient human race was gradually forgotten. Instead, Xuanyuan became the glorious ancestor of the human bloodline.

These are the established rules from the Five Emperors to the Xia Dynasty.

Luo Shen listened attentively, and had a preliminary understanding of this complex and sophisticated system in his mind.

There is also the matter of her father's fate after his death. When Yin Ziyu mentioned this, Luo Shen naturally became even more nervous.

Luoshen frowned slightly, and after a moment's thought, she said, "Fellow Daoist Ziyu, perfecting such a complex system will undoubtedly be fraught with difficulty. However, Mi Fei will fully assist us and fulfill our mission. However, I hope you can explain more about the circulation of the Five Elements and the combinations of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches so that I can gain a deeper understanding."

Yin Ziyu smiled gently and spoke again, elaborating on the finer details for Luoshen. The two of them immersed themselves in the ancestral temple, studying and perfecting the sixty Jiazi cycle, as time slipped by unnoticed. "These Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, combined to form the sixty Jiazi cycle, have become the Great Shang Calendar. From this point on, once one comprehends the state of time and space each year, in addition to the Law of the Five Elements, one can also comprehend the Laws of Time and Space. By utilizing the essence of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, one can transform time and space, thereby gaining a glimpse into the fate of all living beings!"

"To spy on the fate of all living beings?"

At this point, Luo Shen couldn't help but exclaimed.

Yin Ziyu nodded: "Although the long river of time is constantly rushing forward, every node in time has its own record of the origin of the five elements. This year's time and space are Jichou, and the origin of heaven and earth is earth, so it becomes the mark of this year in the long river of time. This month is Gengshen, this day is Guihai, and now is the hour of Yin. In terms of the state of the five elements of heaven and earth at this time, the year governs the year, the month governs the month, the day governs the day, and the hour governs the hour. The yin and yang five elements form the flow of heaven and earth. If someone is born at this time, their fate will be invaluable! This is the way to peek into fate through the stems and branches!"

What Yin Ziyu said was the eight-character fortune-telling of later generations.

However, fortune-telling based on the Eight Characters is done according to the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, using the original state of the Five Elements at birth to glimpse into the fate of this life.

After hearing this, Luo Shen's beautiful eyes showed shock.

"Brother Ziyu, are you saying that the changing years, months, days, hours, and spaces of the Five Elements will determine the future fate of all living beings?"

Yin Ziyu smiled faintly: "It's not just living beings. Any country, force, or sect, from the moment of birth, is under the control of the origin of the five elements of the primeval world. Its rise and fall will also change with the transformation of the five elements of heaven and earth. At the moment of birth, the origin of the five elements is fixed. Therefore, a living being and the primeval world are equivalent to the fate shaped by the origin of the five elements of this year, month, day and hour. Then, its rise and fall, honor and disgrace in the primeval world will also change with the transformation of the five elements! As the saying goes, if the sky is not in season, the sun and the moon have no light; if the earth is not in season, the grass and trees will not grow; if the water is not in season, the wind and waves will be rough; if people are not in season, good fortune will not come."

After hearing this, Luo Shen was completely shocked beyond words.

But from these Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, there are such vast mysteries of heaven and earth.

"I am deeply impressed by Zi Yu's teachings! In this way, being in the wilderness is nurtured by the Yin and Yang and the Five Elements. Thus, the rise and fall of one's fate will also be dominated by the Yin and Yang and the Five Elements of the wilderness."

Yin Ziyu nodded: "Indeed, in the prehistoric world, Yin and Yang and the Five Elements are the origins and dominate destiny. If one is born in the heavens or the netherworld, they will not be affected by this. This is because the heavens are dominated by pure and spiritual energy, while the netherworld is dominated by heavy and turbid energy!"

After hearing this, Luo Shen's heart was suddenly filled with emotion.

"May I ask Brother Ziyu, what are the uses of these twelve guardian gods?"

Yin Ziyu smiled faintly: "The Heavenly Stems already exist, and the Earthly Branches have taken shape. There are guardian gods representing the five elements. The guardian gods can mobilize the power of the five elements. These are the twelve Yuan Chen. Mastering the twelve Yuan Chen is equivalent to controlling the power of the five elements in the prehistoric world!"

Luo Shen looked at Yin Ziyu in front of her, and her beautiful eyes instantly surged with waves. Her eyes were like two clear springs, now filled with admiration. The originally cold eyes had long been replaced by deep admiration.

Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, like the wings of a butterfly flapping its wings about to fly. Every blink seemed to express her deep admiration for Yin Ziyu.
