Huo Yao nodded gently, a mysterious curve touching the corner of her lips. "Not just touched it—we've also received a part of its bounty." She opened her palm, and a soft radiance slowly rotated within it, where the shifting of nebulae and the growth of all things could be faintly seen; it was a miracle woven from time and space.
