A mysterious figure draped in starlight stood in the pitch-black universe, hovering above a brilliant river of stars, and sighed.
"Not even a warning this time?"
Although she still had no body, at least she wore clothes and could be seen. As for how to restore her body, that could wait until she figured out her current situation.
The five of them sat slumped together, back to back. If not for the mysterious garments they wore, they would have looked like five squat pumpkins perched on a rock.
Utterly listless.
Wan Lan raised her arm, her wide sleeve swaying like flowing water. Faint cyan patterns came into view on her pure-white clothes, their design clearer than last time.
There was little difference in the styles of the five's clothes. Loose without being cumbersome, the robes were gathered by waist sashes, simple yet sacred.
Su Wuwei propped up his chin, his white-and-gold robe hanging from his frame, looking every bit a Divine Official.
"So does this count as our first time physically traveling into the past?"
Lou Guanshan gazed at the distant river of stars, a trace of awe in his voice.
"Ah, I suppose so."
Brown-orange patterns traced his pure-black robe, carrying the earth's steady weight. He looked like an envoy walking the earth, stained with brown soil, bringing life the ground it needed to grow.
Embracing and boundless.
Dressed entirely in black, Kou Ying crouched to one side, almost blending into the backdrop of the universe.
"Why am I the only one all in black? Is it bad luck?"
Ye Buyu pointed at herself. "Look at me. My clothes have a black base too, just with lots of stars on them. Yours has plenty of embossed patterns over the black. Stop moping. Let's figure out our situation."
