Maybe what we saw was just a mirage created by Quan Chi. A mirage is a naturally occurring optical phenomenon in which light rays are bent to produce a displaced image of distant objects or the sky.

What the image appears to represent, however, is determined by the interpretive faculties of the human mind.
