Hoshigami Festival 33rd Chapter: The Change of the Starry Sky World

  "What is going on down at the old Qing pavilion!"

  The old man with a hint of deep incomprehension in his eyes, occasionally drew a circular pattern on the rocky platform and annotated it with many strange symbols.

  "What's going on..." Xu Bing's eyebrows furrowed with a hint of bitter smile.

  What Gu Qing painted, she knew, and some were even familiar!

  When she married into the Hou Mansion, Gu Qing had already been painting these strange patterns that no one could understand. In the following year, he didn't stop painting these weird things that Xu Xiaolin jokingly called "ghost symbols" for a single day!

  However, recognizing something is one thing, knowing what it means is another. At least so far, she has no idea how to explain what Gu Qing is painting now.

  Thinking of this, she could only shake her head helplessly: "Nian Wusheng's subordinate, if you want to figure out this problem, probably only Gu Qing himself can provide the answer."

  He thought that the Ancient Azure Pavilion wouldn't do something meaningless, so he looked at the patterns again: "Let's wait for a moment and see the result of these things before saying anything!"

  Xu Bingning originally wanted to explain that Gu Qing's painting would go on indefinitely, but after thinking for a moment... At such a critical juncture, he shouldn't be acting so recklessly, so he endured the urge to speak and quietly stood by, waiting for Gu Qing's "ghostly" movements to end.

  ……

  At this moment, on this flat stone platform of no more than a hundred meters in length and width, Gu Qing has drawn more than sixty circles of varying sizes, each with a large number of strange texts beside it to annotate!

  If at this time, the onlookers were not Nian Wusheng and Xu Bingqing, the original inhabitants of this star, but a physicist who had traveled from Earth, they would have been able to clearly read that each circle was crowned with the name of a star!

  In addition to the name, below each of these names are also recorded the semi-major axis, orbital period, rotational period, orbital eccentricity, inclination, average orbital speed, mass, density, equatorial surface gravity, escape velocity, albedo and number of satellites, etc., each item is clearly recorded!

  And these data are just the most basic ones.

  What kind of relationship exists between stars, how much gravitational pull is produced, and what impact does this have on the orbits, eccentricity, and other data of each star? After being affected by these stellar gravitational pulls, will it still cause deviations in the running tracks of other stars, and what results will it bring to the entire galaxy?

  Everything, no matter how slight, has been subject to an infinitely precise calculation and is expressed in the language of the earth.

  And all the results of these precise calculations ultimately point to one goal, which is the huge circle with a diameter of five meters that he drew first.

  No!

  To be precise, it refers to a point marked by him in the center of that huge circle, representing the Western King's Mansion and the four counties in the northwest!

  ……

  One day, two days, three days...

  Time passed in such a quiet and soundless yet precise calculation without any margin for error.

  During this time, Gu Ding and others had to find a small town to rest as soon as possible due to their injuries, and temporarily left, leaving only the relatively better-off Nian Wusheng, Su Fangyu, and Xu Bingying to accompany Gu Qingyuan in waiting for the result of this strange move.

  At this moment, Xu Bingjing also seemed to be unable to hold back her emotions.

  In the past, Gu Qing was extremely enthusiastic about these "ghostly symbols", but every night, he would inevitably sleep in some more deserted places. Every time he slept until around 5 o'clock in the morning, he would get up with a start and practice his strange and peculiar fist technique that was said to be good for physical conditioning!

  But now!

  For three whole days, he spent day and night on this flat rock, repeatedly drawing these strange patterns, writing some bizarre texts that no one could understand, and from time to time, he would fall into a state of contemplation lasting for an hour or even several hours.

  This seemingly self-destructive and bizarre behavior made the three people who were still here, Nian Wusheng, Xu Bingbing, and Su Fangyu, feel unbearable, and they wanted to speak up several times to advise him to be more optimistic and face his future life with a better attitude.

  When the sun rose for the fourth day, Gu Qing still hadn't stopped his "ghostly" movements. Xue Bingjing finally spoke up beside him: "Gu Qing, even if you really plan to take revenge on the people of Zhenxi Wangfu, you should consider your own body. You've gone three whole days without sleep or rest, and haven't eaten anything either. If this continues, not even those immortal gods in the Dan Dao realm could hold out. If your own body collapses, no matter how great your divine powers are, how can you possibly use them?"

  Xu Bingning spoke up, and Su Fangyu immediately echoed: "Under the ancient Qing Pavilion, Sister Xu's words are very reasonable! Although you currently have the strength of nine airways, even if you don't sleep or rest for two or three days, don't eat or drink, you can still hold on. However, this will inevitably cause some damage to your body and may affect the operation of the internal energy in your body. If it's severe, it may lead to permanent loss of internal energy, and if you want to cultivate it back, who knows how many months it will take? For you to impact the Dan Dao boundary, it is extremely unfavorable! We know that you are heartbroken, but this is not a solution. If there really is an unsolvable problem, shouldn't we rest for a day, recover our bodies and then talk about it? With abundant energy, who knows, those originally confusing questions may suddenly become clear?"

  Gu Qing seemed oblivious to their conversation and walked a few steps to the center of the platform, where a huge starball was located. With his sword as a brush, he began writing something again.

  "...under the ancient blue pavilion..."

  Seeing Gu Qing didn't listen to her advice at all, Xu Bingjing let out a light sigh and shook her head.

  At this time, for three days, almost half of the time staring at the strange patterns in Gu Qing's painting, Nian Wusheng suddenly spoke up: "Miss Xu... perhaps Mr. Gu is not doing something self-abusive... if I'm not mistaken, Mr. Gu seems to be drawing a formation... uh... maybe..."

  "Senior brother...... why is your tone so strange? Are you really drawing a formation?"

  "Anyway, I'm not sure if it's an array or not. But if I'm not mistaken, these circular shapes should represent some kind of power or the foundation of the array. They influence and restrict each other, coexisting in a delicate balance... And this array is probably meant to disrupt that balance, borrowing the power of these existing forces to achieve something... The purpose of completion should be related to that large circle in the center of the platform!"

  Su Fangyu was dizzy for a moment, and even Xu Bingying frowned, it was obvious that both of them were confused by Nian Wusheng's explanation.

  Seeing the two people's gaze fall on him again, Nian Wusheng's face also showed a hint of helplessness: "Don't look at me, I'm just randomly guessing based on these patterns, or maybe the direction of my guesses is completely wrong! In short, Gu Qing should do something important!"

  "Is it...?"

  The two women could only shift their gaze and look at those strange patterns and characters, hoping to find some clues from them.

  It's just obvious that it failed again in the end.

  When the fourth day's sun was about to set again, Gu Qing, who had been calculating something all along, suddenly leaped lightly and arrived at the center of the pattern. With a swing of his sword, he connected all the circular patterns with lines drawn by his sword marks, pointing to a small circle not far from the giant circle, as if it was the focal point of all the circles' power.

  And this circle was also marked by him with an arrow, the direction of which pointed to a small point he had marked in the center of the giant circle at the beginning - Zhenxi Wangfu!

  "That's about it!"

  After doing all this, Gu Qing directly inserted the Wan Hua sword in his hand into the giant circle representing the symbol of Zhen Xi Wang Fu. Then he suddenly raised his head, and his eyes seemed to emanate an extraordinary magical power. Those deep eyes seemed to penetrate through the distance of the void space, crossed the heavy obstacles of the atmosphere, and fell directly on the "Divine Moon" that was still faintly visible even in the daytime!

  ……

  "Rumble!"

  A strange stellar fluctuation emerged in the starry sky, tiny and abrupt, and slightly collided with a massive star!

  Logically, the insignificance of this star power is such that it shouldn't have caused any ripples in the vast starry world, not even enough to change the direction of a single meteor. However, at this moment, its appearance happened to be at an extremely critical juncture, and in the blink of an eye, it triggered a chain reaction among dozens of stars!

  That massive star was impacted by this stellar force, although it remained motionless, however, the stellar fluctuations emitted at that moment had a deviation of one billionth - an infinitesimally small stellar force slightly deviated from its original orbit!

  And it was this billionth of a deviation in its orbit that caused the peripheral satellite to slow down slightly, coinciding with the overlapping of the stellar forces emitted by another star.

  These two stellar forces overlapped, causing a star not far from here to experience twice the propulsion as before. For a time, this star also underwent changes, emitting stellar forces that were different from before...

  When a series of subtle changes are connected together, after countless days of evolution, the direct result is to interfere with the star power emission of "Qinglong", causing the star "Shen Yue" which was originally slightly controlled by Gu Qing to deviate from the gravitational orbit of "Qinglong".

  The balance between gravitational orbits was broken, and with the push of another star "Shadow Dragon", "Divine Moon" drifted slowly in the starry sky, gradually entering the gravitational orbit of the current star "Giant Void" where Gu Qing stood!

  Everything was so natural, yet it was an inevitable result, and that's how it happened.

  As time passed, under the influence of "Giant Void", the small planet "Divine Moon" with a diameter of only 200 kilometers gradually accelerated its running speed, constantly increasing from almost stillness.

  "Rumble!"

  Accompanied by a nonexistent sonic boom, the entire planet of "Shen Yue" was completely captured by the gravity of "Ju Que". In an instant, with a seemingly slow yet firm speed, it broke through the gravitational orbit and unstoppable followed the giant star "Ju Que", slowly moving towards its surface...
