The battlefield transitions into the celestial palace. A Chinese ancient fairy throws her brush into the sea of clouds beneath her feet, and the white wolf hair at the brush tip shatters into snowflakes, falling to the mortal world. (The camera follows the direction of the falling brush through the clouds, capturing the moment when the clouds sprinkle snowflakes.) The camera descends to the ground at the muster platform of the battlefield. The fairy's feather robe transforms into battle armor (a full-body medium shot), the clouds are illuminated by lightning, highlighting the metallic accessories, and the cloak falls in slow motion. A lightning bolt in the sky condenses the snowflakes into a chilling ice sword, which then re-enters the hands of a Chinese female general on the battlefield.
