Chapter 363 The Star Atlas and the Believer

Many people know the solar system we live is composed of eight planets. As for other details, they would say there are also the moon and the earth.

In fact, for the broadly defined “solar system”, besides the Sun at the central and the eight major planets (Venus, Jupiter, mercury, Mars, Saturn, earth, Ura.n.u.s, Neptune), comets, and interstellar dust, there are also the asteroid belts filled with small rocks which is called the second small celestial bodies of the Kuiper belt. Beyond the Kuiper Belt, there is discrete disk ecliptic, heliosphere and Oort cloud in hypothesis.

Lin Luoran learned astronomical knowledge when she was a student at a younger age. The image of the solar system in her mind is eight planets...o...b..ting around the sun. When her spiritual mind enters the star atlas behind the first jade stair, for the first time, she realizes the beautiful starry sky is not just a picture on books or computer effects in science fictions and movies.

It’s more real and breathtaking than all the material she has read before.

Every rotation of astral bodies is full of spirituality. Flames of the sun are changing constantly. Icy asteroid belts filled with small rocks, comets with long tails, and even interstellar dust all have an inexplicit meaning in this harmonious image.

Lin Luoran can pull a planet closer to her with her spiritual power. At a proper distance, she can clearly see the mountains, waters, craters, plains, rift valleys, and basins of different sizes on the earth. This is where Lin Luoran was born, and it is her first time to see it as a whole.

As for Mercury which is the closest to the sun, it is full of potholes on its surface. Lin Luoran guesses it is because of numerous meteorite impacts. She also knows it for the first time that there is no liquid water on Mercury.

The temperature reaches 400℃ on the solar hemisphere of Mercury. It can melt lead and tin let alone water. Mercury is also pretty small, smaller than the No.3 and No.6 satellites of Jupiter.

Lin Luoran suddenly thinks about the legend of Huaxia, “The G.o.ddess Chang’s Fly to the Moon” so she takes a closer look at the moon. The moon is covered with gravels and craters of all sizes. She doesn’t even find a rabbit’s hair. (Rabbit keeps the G.o.ddess accompany in the story “The G.o.ddess Chang’s Fly to the Moon”.)Read more chapters at Listnovel.com

Why do stars go in such an orbit? Is it because of gravity, quality and distance what scientific and technological civilization is talking about, or maybe stars themselves have power?

For example, she has felt power of the sun when she shot out the “Arrow of Light”.

Another example is the special celestial event over the delta when Bermuda fairyland was found.

She even saw it with her own eyes. In the Tower of Babel, the Babylon high priest borrowed the power of stars to control the fake saintess and the ancestor of the monsters of wood. Aren’t these two powerful men as little as dust in the face of stars?

Besides, “Diliu Syrup” poured down with moonlight every sixty years can develop the intelligence of plants and animals. Does it absorb some power of the moon so it can have such kind of effect?

These are some magic circles right in front of Lin Luoran. If these celestial bodies are linked by lines, and are nodes of magic circles, then aren’t orbits the connection lines of nodes?

Some of the celestial bodies in the solar system have become large planets while some have become satellites around planets. Earth and Mars both belong to eight major planets of the solar system. Why do intelligent species live on Earth but not Mars? The latter is a desert planet covered with sands and gravels all over. There is no stable liquid water but frequent sand storms here every year. Mars has seasonal melting ice and dry ice in its poles, and Geoscientists think it is the most human-friendly planet in the solar system except Earth. Then why are there no human beings on Mars?

Except for the influence of objective conditions, does it have something to do with its position in the solar system and the orbit?

Earth and Mars are in different places so they will never become the same planet even if their conditions are similar. The same goes to the magic circle. The only difference between defensive magic circle and aggressive magic circle of the same system is nodes.

It will have completely different effects if the position is changed. Is it because the node position is changed so the corresponding star can’t be found? Or maybe after changing the position of the node, it corresponds to other stars so the effect is changed?

Lin Luoran leaves the star atlas. After a long time of contemplation, she uses emeralds as chess pieces to deduct it on the ground.

The Dragon Palace is a quiet place without anyone bothering her. She is not alone because there are fishes and shrimps in the pool keeping her company. Lin Luoran feels she knows very little about the magic circle at this moment although she has planted magic circles several times.

She is back to the difficult time when she had lots of magic stuff but without the guidance of a famous teacher.

Deduction, countless simulations, and putting the prototype of the magic circle on the ground… She depicts a few magic circles she knows in her mind. They are only from the Bright Sword and the protective jade plate. It looks pathetic but Lin Luoran is really enjoying it.

Lin Luoran has always known that she is like a weed that is tough to kill. Her talent is not outstanding. She always has to work very hard with her resilience if she wants to stand out whether when she was a student or develop her personal ability now.

People should never be worried about their goals are too hard to realize, but they cannot find the goals to work hard for.

This is still the universal rule when it comes to developing personal ability, going to Penglai, and learning magic circles. Lin Luoran does not feel bored at all. She has gained too much compared to ordinary cultivators, and she has to pay sweat and energy now owing to the balance law of nature.

…

It’s bustling outside Mount Jun. These two nervous young boys went home but didn’t find their sister. Therefore, they came to Mount Jun to “offer a humble apology”.

They don’t know Lin Luoran is concentrating on the star atlas. They still can’t enter the door no matter how long they wander around Mount Jun.

To comfort Wei Xue, Lin Luodong and Huang Weijian have promised to take her to visit the Dragon Palace after Lin Luoran forgive them. They know Wei Xue is not terrible at keeping secrets.

Lin Luodong and Huang Weijian also haven’t been to the Dragon Palace. These two teenagers are so curious.

When fatty Ma Ming knows the news, he is so eager and his heart has flown to the bottom of the Dongting Lake. However, Tong Ya is always around him like an octopus, making fatty Ma Ming suspect that having a girlfriend is his worst decision ever.

However, Ma Ming feels balanced when his three friends cannot contact Lin Luoran.

Five people make a day’s excursion to Mount Jun. The water is very clear and the air is very fresh in the waters of Dongting now. They all want to have fun here. In the 800-mile Dongting, the Lin family has occupied the best land. Except for high-rise apartments, a large part of land has been changed into holiday villas. Zeng Tian is like a bounder who may build a magnificent palace for his grandmaster beside the Dongting Lake. However, he also knows Lin Luoran is not a showy person so he has made some compromises. Mr. Zeng chose the best land to build some houses on it neither for renting nor for selling. He is keeping them for Lins.

When Huang Weijian arrives in Dongting, he realizes he also owns a large villa.

Huang Weijian knows the Lin family has never regarded him as an outsider. Nevertheless, isn’t Zeng Tian too generous?

Ma Ming’s jealous eyes glow green when he hears Huang Weijian owning the two-story villa facing the Mount Jun Island which is more expensive than the villa in Shanghai and the capital.

“No, I have to live in your new house. You guys are so extravagant!”

Is he very extravagant? Huang Weijian checks his account. Even the money of selling wild ginseng cannot afford the high prices in the capital. Lin Luodong and he are all poor people who live in a big house—taking Lin Luodong as an example, he doesn’t exactly know how much money his family has, but he is always embarra.s.sed to ask money from home.

In comparison, Ma Ming who is always so generous on the whole way to Dongting is really extravagant.

They joke and kid around and then live in the villa.

These five people play all around Yueyang, climbing and fis.h.i.+ng. Tong Ya can’t tolerate days without nightlife and bars. However, Wei Xue feels very happy for this rare summer vacation without work. She has always been a very sweet girl who earned money for study since childhood.

They have played in Dongting for a week. Wei Xue’s families have called to urge her to go back. This night Lin Luodong finally receives a “call” from Lin Luoran.

“When did you come here?” A light wind blows and Lin Luodong and Huang Weijian are not sleepy anymore.

Is it Lin Luoran’s voice? Their sister suddenly goes out?

Lin Luoran does not go out yet. She is still in the Dragon Palace at the moment. What awakened her from being immersed in the star atlas wasn’t Lin Luodong and others’ visiting to the Dongting Lake these days, but the abnormal Fly Apsaras painted sculpture in Lin Luoran’s ocean of consciousness.

She has the first believer who can directly contact the sculpture in her ocean of consciousness!

However, from the depressive light of faith, this unknown devout believer seems to be in serious trouble.

Lin Luoran is in the critical moment of deduction so it is not possible for her to “show up”. She chooses to contact Lin Luodong and Huang Weijian.

“What? After solving the problem, not only can we accomplish our redemption, but also take a one-day sightseeing tour around the Dragon Palace?! ”

Lin Luodong and Huang Weijian nod as chickens eat rice. Doing one thing well can comfort two “angry” women. This kind of thing is truly a good deal.

The Dragon Palace tour that they have guaranteed Wei Xue can be realized, their sister is not angry anymore. This world is just so beautiful!
