Lei Xing was still hugging her Emperor suddenly with her eyes closed, trying to distance herself from the surrounding bizarreness. She suddenly felt the Emperor stiffen and heard shocked gasps from the others around them. She knit her brows and then opened her eyes and froze in shock when she saw little balls of purple, blue, red, and black with surrounding halo of white little balls floating around her and the Emperor.
She looked up like the others to see that the balls were floating down from the four celestial bodies. The sky was also steadily turning to night, further enhancing the shine of the celestial bodies and the river of their fragments.
All four celestial bodies now appeared smaller and seemed to be shrinking as a river of lights steadily streamed into the Empress's palace, coming to swirl around where Lei Xing and the Emperor stood, forming a colorful enclosed wall of light.
