The Chinese Constellations are made up of 4 different ones: Azure Dragon, Red Phoenix, White Tiger, and Black Turtle
Within each of the Chinese Constellations there are 7 different Constellations, most of which need to be unlocked

The 连星 "Connect Star", titled Fusion in-game, function will help players unlock the constellation slots

Clicking on the Fusion key will open up another window. The stars put into here can be absorbed to accumulate points to unlock constellation slots. Absorbing stars generally costs gold, except for Royal Stars
You can check how much EXP you'll need to absorb to unlock the next slot at the 当前连星进度 "Current Connect Star Progress", titled 'Current EXP' in-game, section

Stars have stats and skills which can be embedded into the constellation slots
Each Chinese Constellation can have skill, 3 stats, 2 stats, and 1 stat stars embedded into its constellation slots
Stars will have one main stat and auxiliary stats depending on the type of star
Chinese Constellations cannot have the same stars with the same main stat embedded, i.e you cannot have two stars with only one AP stat, but you can have one 1 AP stat star and a 2 stat star with AP and whatever else on it

However, stars need to be of a certain type in order to embed in corresponding constellations (color needs to match)
Star types are broken into colors: white, green, blue, purple, and orange

Players can reset constellations to change star types and positions in the constellations by clicking on the 占星 Divine by Astrology, titled Reset in-game, key. It will randomly change all star slots in a constellation
The method requires a 紫府星衡 "Purple Mansion Star Weight", titled Star Scale in-game, item to use
Purple Mansion is an abode of the immortals

Each star skill will need its corresponding skill at its max rank.
Every faction will have 4 star skills in total and each of those 4 will have 3 versions of itself (萤炬 Firefly, 皓月 Moon, and 曦日 Sun)
The 赤乌 (Sun) star skills will replace the skill like the mystic tomes' advanced skills do. Depending on which Chinese Constellation you have the usable star skill in, after using the skill a visual display of the Azure Dragon, Red Phoenix, White Tiger, or Black Turtle will appear.
The 玄烛(Moon) star skills simply act just like the average tome, passively affecting skills
These skills have 5 ranks to them. You level them up by leveling the star itself
