Primordial Era: The Witch Clan's Dog-Headed Strategist

Pan Xuan placed the thirteen spirit jades on the stone platform in the main hall.

Within the spirit jade, hundreds of stellar origins are stored, with golden, purple, crimson, deep black, ice white, and earthy yellow lights intertwined, illuminating the entire Pangu Palace as if it were daytime.

The primordial power flowed slowly within the spirit jade, as if it were alive, emitting a deep hum that resonated with the vast and ancient aura within the Pangu Palace.

The Twenty-Four-Petal Creation Lotus slowly rotated beneath the dome, casting down a chaotic light that enveloped the stellar origins within.

The Creation Cauldron, located at the corner of the hall, exuded an aura of returning to one's origin, intertwining with the chaotic light of the Azure Lotus to form a mysterious balance.

Five innate spiritual roots grew quietly beside the blood pool outside the hall. Their spiritual energy seeped in through the hall walls and merged with the power of the star's origin, filling the entire Pangu Hall with vitality and life.

The twelve Ancestral Witches sat around the stone platform, their gazes fixed on the thirteen spirit jades.

Their eyes gleamed with anticipation. These stellar essences were collected one by one from the sea of ​​stars over nearly a thousand years.

Every source is hard-won, and every source contains the purest power in the world.

Pan Xuan stood before the stone platform, hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over the thirteen spirit jades, then turning to the twelve Ancestral Witches, and slowly spoke:

"Brothers and sisters, the Star Essence has been collected. Next, we will take the most important step: deducing the Zhou Tian Star Array."

Di Jiang said in a deep voice, "Brother Pan Xuan, tell us what to do, and we'll listen to you."

Pan Xuan nodded, took out a scroll of silk from his sleeve, and slowly unfurled it.

On the silk scroll was a vast star map, a celestial sphere.

This was hand-drawn by him before the deduction, based on inherited memories and his observations of the starry sky.

The diagram shows the positions, sizes, attributes, and interrelationships of 365 major stars in the celestial sphere.

The Sun and Moon are located in the very center of the diagram, with the Purple Star Emperor Star in the due north. The remaining stars are arranged according to the numbers of the celestial sphere, forming a perfect circle.

The ancestral witches looked at the star map with admiration in their eyes.

Zhu Rong laughed loudly, "Brother Pan Xuan, when did you draw this picture? It's so detailed!"

Pan Xuan said, "Over the years, while collecting the origins in the starry sea, I recorded them as I collected them."

The positions, attributes, and gravitational relationships of the 365 major stars in the celestial sphere are all shown in this diagram.

With this diagram, the deduction of the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array has a foundation.

Houtu said softly, "Brother Panxuan, do you mean to use a grand formation to simulate the execution of the celestial sphere?"

Pan Xuan nodded: "Exactly. The principle of the Zhou Tian Star Array is to draw upon the power of the stars and simulate the execution of the Zhou Tian stars in the form of an array."

The stars attract and restrain each other, forming a complete cycle.

Once the grand formation is set up, it will operate automatically, continuously drawing power from the starry sky to form an almost indestructible barrier.

He paused, then continued, "But to deduce such a grand formation, having only the origin of stars and star maps is not enough."

It also requires the measuring power of the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler to measure the precise distances and power flows between stars;

We also need the divine deities of our elder brothers and sisters to simulate the various attributes of the power of the stars;

It also requires my righteous spirit and imperial power to harmonize yin and yang and govern all the stars.

Di Jiang said in a deep voice, "Brother Pan Xuan, you can make the arrangements."

Pan Xuan laid the Zhou Tian Star Chart flat on the stone platform, and then placed the thirteen spirit jades according to their positions on the star chart.

Place the spirit jade representing the origin of the sun and the moon in the positions of the Sun Star and the Moon Star, respectively. Place the spirit jade representing the trace of purple origin in the position of the Purple Emperor Star. Place the remaining spirit jades according to the positions of the stars according to their respective attributes.

Thirteen spirit jades lit up on the stone platform, their various colors intertwining and echoing the markings on the Zhou Tian Star Chart, forming a miniature star map.

Pan Xuan sat cross-legged in front of the stone platform, closed his eyes, and with a thought, the Primordial Measuring Ruler flew out from between his eyebrows and hovered above his head.

The primordial light of merit emanating from the ruler enveloped the entire stone platform and the thirteen spirit jades.

"Dear brothers and sisters, please use the power of the laws and deities to infuse your respective spiritual jades."

Pan Xuan's voice was steady and solemn, "Brother Di Jiang is in charge of the spiritual jade of the spatial origin, and Brother Zhu Jiuyin is in charge of the spiritual jade of the time origin."

Brother Zhurong is in charge of the spirit jade with the fire attribute, and Brother Gonggong is in charge of the spirit jade with the water attribute.

Sister Xuanming is in charge of the spirit jade with ice attribute origin, and Sister Houtu is in charge of the spirit jade with earth attribute origin.

Brother Jumang is in charge of the spirit jade with the wood attribute, Brother Rushou is in charge of the spirit jade with the metal attribute, and Brother Qiangliang is in charge of the spirit jade with the lightning attribute.

Brother Xizi is in charge of the spirit jade with the electric attribute, Brother Shebishi is in charge of the spirit jade with the poison attribute, and Brother Tianwu is in charge of the spirit jade with the wind attribute.

I will be responsible for the origins of the three main stars: the Sun, the Moon, and Ziwei.

Each of the twelve Ancestral Witches responded, activating their respective Law Deities and infusing the power of their Laws into the corresponding Spirit Jade.

Dijiang's spatial law deity emerged from behind him, and a chaotic light poured into the spatial origin spirit jade. The spatial power within the spirit jade immediately became active, forming a miniature spatial rift above the stone platform.

Zhu Jiuyin, the deity of the Time Law, appeared, and silvery-white light poured into the Time Origin Spirit Jade. The flow of time around the spirit jade began to become disordered, sometimes fast and sometimes slow.

Zhu Rong, the god of fire, appeared, and crimson light poured into the fire-attribute primordial spirit jade. The flames within the spirit jade burned fiercely, distorting and deforming the surrounding air.

Gonggong, the water deity, appeared, and a deep black light poured into the water-attribute primordial spirit jade. The water power within the spirit jade was gentle and profound, forming a stark contrast with Zhurong's flames.

The ice deity of Xuanming appeared, its icy white light infusing the ice-attribute primordial spirit jade, causing a chilling aura to spread and freeze a thin layer of ice on the surface of the stone platform.

Houtu, the earth deity, appeared, and earth-yellow light was injected into the earth-attribute primordial spirit jade. The power of the earth was heavy and stable, causing the stone platform to tremble slightly.

Jumang is the god of wood, Rushou is the god of metal, Qiangliang is the god of thunder, Xizi is the god of lightning, Shebishi is the god of poison, and Tianwu is the god of wind.

The twelve divine beings of the laws appeared simultaneously, and the twelve colors of light poured into the twelve spirit jades, resonating with the stellar origin within the spirit jades.

He infused the three spiritual jades—the Sun, the Moon, and the Purple Star—with his righteous spirit and imperial power.

The golden solar origin, the silvery-white lunar origin, and the purple crape myrtle origin lit up simultaneously, the three rays intertwining to form a magnificent pillar of light that shot straight up to the dome of the Pangu Palace.

The simulation has begun.

Pan Xuan used the power of the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler to measure and analyze the position, distance, and power flow of each star in the Zhou Tian Star Chart.

The primordial light of the Measuring Ruler is like an invisible ruler, measuring back and forth on the star map and recording the precise distance between each star.

He discovered that the execution of the celestial bodies was not chaotic, but followed a mysterious pattern.

The Sun and the Moon are the core, one yang and one yin, one hot and one cold, forming the foundation of stellar power.

The Ziwei Emperor Star is an imperial star located in the due north, governing all stars and serving as the central hub of stellar power.

The remaining 365 major stars of the celestial sphere are distributed around the sun and moon according to their respective attributes, forming a perfect loop.

The flow of energy between stars is like the meridians in the human body, following a fixed path.

The power flows from the Sun Star, is transmitted through the fire-attribute stars, and flows to the Ziwei Emperor Star; from the Ziwei Emperor Star it flows to the Moon Star, is transmitted through the water-attribute stars, and then flows back to the Sun Star.

This cycle repeats endlessly, creating a continuous cycle of life.

Pan Xuan used the measuring ruler to record these patterns one by one, and then began to deduce how to transform these patterns into formations.
