Note that the Silver, Green and Yellow stars each have two manifestations of their essences (Sky and Iron for Silver; Root and Leaf for Green; Field and Earth for Yellow), while Black (Water) and Red (Fire) only have one each (as far as we know....). Also, what lies beneath it all? How does Heaven determine? Where do powers truly come from?

Next chapter will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone!
