Brilliantly, instead of launching into a fierce, bitter denunciation of how Cang Xuan's actions defied the heavens, the Queen Mother meticulously detailed how the spinning wheel had thrown celestial phenomena into chaos, bringing down disasters, torrential downpours, and overwhelming floods. She then explained that had it not been for Xiangliu the Nine-Life sacrificing himself to enter the mirror and breaking the evil arts at the risk of his life, the Suspended Mirror of Destiny would have dragged the entire Great Wasteland into endless misery.
