Legend has it that there was once a powerful immortal with boundless magical powers who could control wind and rain. One day, they clashed with an evil demon. The demon released a large amount of dark energy that blotted out the sun and the entire world was plunged into darkness. Seeing this, the immortal calmly waved their whisk, and a golden light flashed, instantly dispersing the dark energy, and sunlight shone once more upon the earth. From then on, this incredible battle was passed down through generations, used to describe the immense scale and magnificent momentum of a scene.
