Above the gray fog

Lin Shan raised his right hand, and his fingers slid in a strange way.

A rectangular cone-shaped star map appeared in front of him.

In the center of the star map is a large sphere, representing the sun.

Around the sun, there are 12 spheres of basically equal size arranged in a clockwise direction, representing the 12 palaces.

A line is drawn between every two spheres to connect them.

A large circle is drawn on the periphery of the map, including and wrapping the palaces and the sun inside.

This is a simple astrological style map shape without zodiac attributes and planets. This star map is a prototype carved by Lin Shan using earth knowledge.

To complete this prototype and create a real star map, it is not something that can be completed in a few months or half a year.

Not to mention that he has to integrate the authority to carve the name of God. The time that the old woman has bought for him is far from enough. If he follows the normal process, let alone half a year, even three to five years may not be enough.

The so-called star map is actually a piece of "divination cloth". When the power of destiny is injected into this divination cloth, destiny will trigger the modules set in advance to achieve good fortune and avoid disaster.

The star map can also be likened to a lever, which can use a little power of destiny to pry a greater destiny.

Star map, a labor-saving and easy-to-use tool, is of course not created whenever you want. If you want to create a star map, you must get the approval of the source.

And the source is the god of astrology.

It can be understood that the star map is a characteristic passed down by the god of astrology. Astrologers who have not reached the ninth star can use the star map given by the god of astrology, and those who reach the ninth star can create a star map that is more suitable for themselves.

But whether it is the original star map or your own star map, it still plays the role of a tool, a tool to expand the power of destiny.

Lin Shan was thinking in his heart, and suddenly a flash of inspiration came to him.

He suddenly realized that since the star map was created by the god of astrology, if he became the new god of astrology, could he replace the star map with another thing, such as a star cloth, a star pendulum... or even a crystal ball.

In essence, their functions are the same, but their appearance and usage are different.

Lin Shan looked at the prototype star map in front of him, which he had spent a year to build.

The next second, all the lines on the star map were twisted, compressed, and changed shape.

Lin Shan decided not to follow the original path to shape it. Others shaped new star maps, but he wanted to change the concept of star maps. This tool does not necessarily have to be a star map.

The power of astrology is the source of everything, and the source is in his hands. There is nothing that cannot be tried.

To shape a new star map from existence to non-existence, many modules need to be shaped. Modules such as probability, direction, cause and effect, history, and future are the most basic. It is also necessary to sort out the veins of the power of destiny wandering in each module. It is impossible to complete it without three to five years.

He does not have that time.

Countless messy lines quickly overlapped and merged, and finally turned into a simple cube with six smooth sides without any redundant lines.

Lin Shan began to carve numbers on it, one number on each side.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

Yes, this is a dice.

It is perfect to use this thing to replace the star map.

The most important thing is that it can be completed in a short time, and he can also have the functions of the star map, as long as he uses points to simulate various possibilities.

Anyway, it is just a tool, the function is good, and the appearance does not need to be so complicated.

Lin Shan thought of the scene of astrologers shaking dice when helping people to tell fortunes, and suddenly wanted to laugh.

There is no way, he can only make those astrologers suffer, he really has no time to perfect the star map.

He has a hunch that after meeting the God of Astrology, he can indeed create a complete star map.

But he also knows that with the remaining six months, it is definitely not enough to complete the ceremony.

The empty shell of the dice and the astrological authority float side by side, and Lin Shan closes his eyes to shape the destiny veins in the dice.

One month later.

The dice is still an ordinary dice, but it is basically completed. If it is given the astrological authority, this dice can replace the star map as a tool to pry destiny.

Lin Shan looked at the dice floating in front of him and named it-'Destiny Dice'.

The ‘fate dice’ has been formed, but it is an object that is transformed by energy under specific rules and has no entity.

The ‘fate dice’ is about the size of a fist. It is not good-looking in appearance, but it is very standard.

Lin Shan threw the dice into the air. The ‘fate dice’ spun around in the air for a few times and finally stopped on the number ‘3’.

Nothing happened.

If this was a star map, it might be able to pry the power of fate now, but it is a ‘fate dice’.

It is impossible to have special power before the power of authority is given.

Lin Shan thought carefully about what was missing.

After the successful shaping, he didn’t know if he could change it. The function of the ‘fate dice’ should be more comprehensive.

Well, there is a lack of pictures...

Lin Shan thought about it. It would be better if he could add a projection function to the ‘fate dice’ so that it can see some fragments of fate.

Low-level astrologers can only use points to show fate. High-level astrologers can’t just keep shaking the dice. They need some more advanced functions.

Lin Shan spent three days making some minor changes to the ‘Fate Dice’ and added a projection function to it.

This function is just for show now, just like he has written a program framework, but the program cannot run now, it lacks a crucial thing, that is, the driving energy.

One sixth of half a year has passed, and the simplest part of the ceremony has just been completed.

This speed is not slow, but time is tight.

Putting the ‘fate dice’ aside, Lin Shan began to study how to give the power of authority to the ‘fate dice’.

During this period, the parchment was like dead. Lin Shan had asked many times, but there was no sound at all.

He thought of all the ways he could think of, but none of them helped. He couldn't control the astrological authority, so naturally he couldn't give the power of authority to anyone.

After studying for ten days, Lin Shan accidentally discovered that the top component of the astrological scepter was a suspended star map, and the middle part of the scepter was a crystal ball for divination.

With a flash of thought, Lin Shan held the scepter and exerted a little force, and actually broke the suspended star map directly. After Lin Shan broke it off, the star map was directly shattered and turned into starlight and dissipated.

As he thought, the star map was added later.

Lin Shan looked at the ‘fate dice’ in his hand again.

Without thinking, he pressed the ‘fate dice’ directly.

A strange force connected the dice and the astrological scepter together, and the ‘fate dice’ was quietly suspended without any sense of disobedience.

The ‘fate dice’ slowly rotated under the push of an inexplicable force. During the rotation, the transparent form of the ‘fate dice’ gradually condensed and turned into a solid entity.

This is “integrating astrological authority into the star map”. Lin Shan did not expect the process to be so simple.

However, this requires a big brain circuit to think of it. Normal people may not think of this. Even if they think of it, they dare not destroy the astrological scepter.

Although Lin Shan was a little reluctant to believe it, this may be the guidance of fate. It is not that fate is teaching him to do things, but that fate is subtly telling him how to get what he wants.

It can be understood that people who master the power of fate will definitely have good luck.

Before Lin Shan showed his joy, an accident happened suddenly.

At the moment when the ‘Fate Dice’ completely became a physical entity, Lin Shan was directly sucked into it.

In the dice space, Lin Shan could only see endless darkness.

“It’s so cold. If this continues, I’m afraid I won’t be able to hold on.”

The long voice echoed in the dice space.

The whole world seemed to come alive suddenly, the darkness was dispelled, and the blazing sun appeared to illuminate the world.

Lin Shan saw.

A young man was walking on the vast snow with a bag on his back.

This man looked familiar to Lin Shan. After a closer look, he found that the man and the god sitting on the throne before were merged into one.

This is the god of astrology.
