Gaia and the civilizations atop her were at a loss for words for everything that had happened. Even the most powerful pathwalkers were stunned by the mind-boggling sequence of events that had unfolded. From their perspective, Rui had asked all civilizations to activate their seismic absorption systems to the maximum while he conducted an operation on the supposed alien entity within Gaia.
Then, they got invaded by aliens.

Her amber irises were filled with reckoning.
"We're alive!"
"Thanks to His Transcendence, we survived!"
"All hail Emperor Rui!"
