Li Tianxing, the director of the Imperial Observatory, knelt on the ground and said, "That's right! There must be a great change happening in the world this time. Moreover, my colleagues who are observing the celestial phenomena have found that the Emperor Star is dimming. The fortune of the Great Zhou seems to be taking a sharp turn for the worse. Someone is encroaching on the fortune of the Great Zhou."
The emperor turned pale and slammed the table: "How dare you! Li Tianxing, do you know what you are talking about?"
"I know my crime!"
Li Tianxing, the director of the Imperial Observatory, stopped talking. He was not afraid of being punished by Emperor Kong Yan. He had lived for hundreds of years and served three generations of emperors. When Kong Yan was not yet born, he was already the deputy director of the Imperial Observatory. With his qualifications and status, if he said some frank words of advice, at most he would be reprimanded by the emperor.
He has said everything he should say and everything he shouldn't say. Now it all depends on the emperor's decision.
Emperor Kong Yan paced back and forth in the imperial study. The several pregnant concubines who had been brought with him had already left. The joy on the emperor's face just now had completely turned into uneasiness.
"Investigate! You, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, monitor the affairs of the gods throughout the world. You must investigate this matter thoroughly."
"I order the Imperial Observatory to reorganize the Shinto order and order all mountain gods and water masters in the world to monitor all those who may be the reincarnation of evil stars."
"I want to see who is trying to disrupt our Great Zhou Empire."
Li Tianxing cupped his hands and said, "I will do it immediately!"
"What happened today must not be leaked!"
After Emperor Kong Yan finished speaking, he looked at the eunuchs and maids who were trembling beside him and made a gesture. The old eunuch at the door immediately called them out of the palace. Immediately, several shadows wearing black armor rushed out from the darkness and dragged these people away.
After Li Tianxing, the director of the Imperial Observatory, went down, he did not return to the Imperial Observatory immediately. Instead, he used the method of burning incense and books to spread the news about the descent of the evil star. Immediately, the worldly snobs who had been deeply rooted in the Great Zhou Dynasty and almost integrated with the Great Zhou Dynasty knew about it.
The influence continued to be transmitted to the outside. After all, the people who observed the stars descending to the earth were not only the Imperial Observatory, but also the various sects of the Dongzhou Immortal Dao, the four gods, the Rong people in the north, and the Yi countries in the south, all observed this scene.
Various speculations and prophecies appeared in Dongzhou. Not only did the Dongzhou Imperial Observatory and the Great Zhou Dynasty begin to look for people who might be the reincarnations of immortals and gods and possessed astral destinies, but all the major immortal sects also sent people down the mountain to look for people who might have astral destinies.
Big and small snobs came out one after another, and the Great Zhou Dynasty, which had been stable for hundreds of years, began to become turbulent. The major practitioners who had been suppressed, destroyed, and dormant in private began to reappear one by one.
One can even vaguely see some shadows of the upper realm and the underworld. Many of the top immortal sects have ascended immortals in the upper realm, and their own ancestors are now using various methods to pass down immortal decrees from the upper realm.
It was even rumored that this time the stars descended to the mortal world, which was related to the reopening of the fairyland and the ownership of the positions of immortals and gods. Although the immortal oracles passed down from the upper realm were not very detailed, even most of the immortals and gods in the upper realm only knew that a group of immortals and gods who had fallen in ancient times had reincarnated into the mortal world from the gate of the fairyland, and they might have the divine positions and divine edicts of the ancient heavenly court on them.
This made the cultivation circles and major sects in the lower world go crazy. Even some old monsters in the Tribulation Crossing Stage and the Land True Immortal Realm could not hold back.
All major sects opened their doors and recruited disciples. The original edict of the Imperial Observatory to reorganize the order of Shintoism was met with varying degrees of disobedience when it was sent to various places. The Great Zhou had suppressed various sects and powerful forces for so many years, but at this moment, there was finally a backlash.
Everyone is looking for someone with a star destiny, but after searching all over the world, no sect has actually found him. Only some people with similar star destiny are taken in by major sects and the Imperial Astronomical Observatory.
Some demonic sects have even begun hunting down those who may have astral destinies, as it is said that this will allow them to take away their fate.
There are endless rumors in the world, and only some truly ancient sects, such as the Tianshi Sect, the Ancient Temple, and the Taishou Mountain Sect, really know what happened.
He also knew that the so-called method of directly hunting down people with star destinies was completely ineffective. Besides, people who truly possessed the fate of a star god could not be killed easily, at least not by people below the realm of immortality.
The current Tianshi sect's Tianshi master Zhang Yusu, who had just descended from Hou Tuxing Palace, had just arrived at Tianshi Palace on the bank of Li River with the embryo of the immortal weapon Jiuxing Palace.
"What? Teacher has passed down a divine decree from the upper realm, saying that he will be reincarnated into the lower realm to participate in this Star Lord killing disaster?"
Three elders of the Tianshi Sect, who were approaching the end of their lives, sat in the Immortal Palace, revealing the smell of the Five Degenerations of Heavenly Beings: "The Grandmaster also said that he ordered the Tianshi to personally take him to reincarnate, so we must also make preparations early."
"When the killing calamity begins, all the reincarnated people of the stars in the sky will be caught in the calamity. Whoever can escape the calamity will be the Star Lord of Heaven."
The mountain was blocked by heavy snow. The ancient witches of the ancient temple were all sitting in the simple and tall temple. At this moment, an old man with white hair and beard, carrying a simple bag, said goodbye to all the ancient witches barefoot and walked slowly down the mountain along the snow.
Many people from the other four seas, the Buddhist land of Western Continent, the strange people of Southern Continent, and the demon country of Northern Continent also rushed to Eastern Continent, wanting to take part in this gluttonous feast.
Various news were even heard from the underworld. The King Yama, who was about to ascend to heaven, got the news from somewhere. As he did not have enough merits, he was unwilling to be a minor god and wanted to intervene in this star god killing calamity.
The killing calamity has not yet begun, but the whole world has become confused because of rumors mixed with both true and false, and it seems that the world is about to be in chaos.
The snobs who have been passed down for thousands of years in the mountain and sea world have come out one after another, and good and bad people are mixed together, and people's hearts are in turmoil.
Jia Yi traveled through the mountains and rivers of Dongzhou, and through the states and counties of Da Zhou. From the Da Zhou in the east to the Yi people countries in the west and the Rong tribes in the north, Jia Yi traveled all over.
The first is to look at the stars in the sky to see if all the people with star destinies have been reincarnated into the lower world. The second is to calculate when this killing calamity will begin.
After Jia Yi ascended to heaven, the original Lingshu Mountain was moved overseas along with the Zhengzuo Mountain, and became a branch of the overseas Taoist sect. As an immortal recruiter, Jia Yi could not participate in the fight for the Star God this time, so he moved his own inheritance away from Dongzhou, where the Star God's killing calamity was about to break out.
Jia Yi spent more than ten years traveling through the mountains and rivers of the world, using the Zhoutian Star Map to match the people with star destinies one by one. Finally, he identified all the people with star destinies and calculated the time when the killing calamity would begin.
One day, he went up along the river and came to the ancient Changdi, the fief of the last descendants of Dahuan in ancient times. He looked at Changyue Mountain from afar. Children in the village at the foot of the mountain were jumping and singing unknown nursery rhymes.
"The sun hides! The stars appear!"
"The Eastern Mountain collapses! The demon stars are in chaos!"
Jia Yi knew at a glance that this must be a song spread by some evil sects with ulterior motives, or by various immortal sects and aristocratic families who were unwilling to remain dormant, hoping to shake the foundation of the Great Zhou.
This big sun refers to the Great Zhou Dynasty. The stars that appear vaguely refer to those people whose destiny has been reincarnated into the lower world. As for the East Mountain, it is the Dongyang Mountain, where the temple of Emperor Dongyang is located, and it is also the ancestral land and imperial mausoleum of the Great Zhou Dynasty. These people are blatantly predicting that the Great Zhou will perish.
However, Immortal Lord Jia Yi only listened to these two words and did not take them to heart at all. Wearing a somewhat old Taoist robe, he walked a few steps up to the Changyue Mountain, and with a wave of his sleeves, he threw the Immortal Map of the Zhoutian Stars into the sky.
Immediately, it was seen that the sun disappeared in the daytime and the stars appeared. Rays of starlight rushed down along the thirty-six layers of the sky and landed on Dongzhou.
Three hundred and sixty-five main stars shone at the same time, and a vast force descended upon the entire Dongzhou territory. The immortal map of the stars in the sky turned into immortal lights, directly covering the entire sky, and then slowly fell to the earth.
"The great Zhoutian star array! Stand!" Immortal Lord Jia Yi flew up to the sea of clouds and overlooked the entire Dongzhou.
In an instant, Dongzhou was completely blocked by a barrier array like an eggshell. Above the barrier, starlight could be seen spreading continuously and the stars in the sky were moving.
From now on, all those who possess star destiny can activate their own star destiny and draw on the power of the Zhoutian Star Array.
This also means that the Star God's killing calamity has begun.
