The way of arrays lay in emulating heaven and earth.
The Zhoutian Star Dou Great Array emulated the movements of the stars of the heavens.
Setting up this great array required three hundred and sixty-five flags, corresponding to the three hundred and sixty-five Zhoutian Primary Stars; it required the Sun Star and Taiyin Star as its focal points, and the Ziwei Emperor Star as its core.

Di Jiang used the power of space to measure the distances between stars, while Zhu Jiuyin used the power of time to simulate the cycles of their movements.
Zhu Rong used the power of fire to simulate the blazing heat of the Sun Star, Gong Gong used the power of water to simulate the cool serenity of the Taiyin Star, and Houtu used the power of earth to simulate the earth's support...
Each Ancestral Witch contributed to the deductions in their own way.

Inside Pangu Hall, the deductions continued.
At times, Pan Xuan measured distances on the star chart with the Heaven-Measuring Ruler; at others, he used Vast Righteous Qi
