Chapter 618: Transforming World (2/2)

”What about the Icy Pride Empire?” he asked.

”It's now the Metal Mountain Empire,” Azure answered. ”As soon as Styr and I left the land beast camp, the council sent a new level three Emperor to rule the Empire. Of course, a beast with metal affinity was chosen due to my Mountain of Pride. The metal affinity beasts had always desired to stay on a huge mountain made of metal.”

”Makes sense,” Gravis said. However, he didn't feel particularly great about that fact. His home, the Icy Pride Empire, had completely changed with the departure of Azure and Styr. This basically meant that the Icy Pride Empire had completely vanished in Gravis' absence.

Gravis, Styr, and Azure talked for a couple more hours, but then it was time for them to leave. They wanted to reach the next world as soon as possible. Their Battle-Strength was not as powerful as Ferris' Battle-Strength, but the next world shouldn't be as dangerous as this one. After all, this world was meant to create powerful beasts for the highest world.

Styr and Azure quickly killed their Striders and became Immortals. Styr turned into an old man with white hair, while Azure surprisingly turned into a young woman with icy-blue hair. According to human standards, she looked to be in her twenties.

Gravis had expected Azure's human form to appear older since she always acted so taciturn and distant, but, apparently, he was mistaken. It seemed like Azure considered herself to be rather young.

”I can feel it,” Azure said as she took a deep breath. ”This form makes it even easier to understand Laws.”

This confirmed Gravis' suspicion that humans had a closer connection to the Laws. However, he was unsure if he had that connection. After all, his soul was human, but his body was that of a beast.

”Don't take too long, Gravis,” Styr said with a smile. ”Otherwise, we will reach your home before you, and when that happens, it would be awkward to visit you when you're not currently home.”

Gravis chuckled. ”I'll try my best, but I can't promise anything,” he said. ”I wish you the best on your journey.”

Styr smiled as he wished Gravis the same and left the world. Azure also turned to Gravis.

Surprisingly, she smiled at him. ”See you soon, Gravis,” she said.

Then, she also left.

Gravis was a bit surprised and scratched his chin. 'I wonder, have I ever seen Azure smile before? I only saw her smirk or smile in disdain. Huh, apparently, she can also smile. Who knew?'

Silence returned, and after some minutes, Gravis sighed.

'Ferris is gone. Styr is gone. Azure is gone. The Icy Pride Empire is gone. This world is slowly becoming lonely. Only 95 years of my seclusion have passed, but one friend after the other is leaving the world. Now, there's only Meadow, Orthar, and my three little kids. Meadow won't leave in quite a while, and Orthar will leave with me. As for my three children, I don't know. Anything could happen.'

”Meadow, are you there?” Gravis suddenly asked.

”Bitch, I'm everywhere,” Meadow immediately answered.

Gravis had to chuckle when he heard her again. ”Why didn't you say so earlier?”

”Why should I?” Meadow answered. ”You're cultivating. Interrupting others in their cultivation is shitty.”

Gravis chuckled some more. ”Like I'm doing now?”

”Yeh,” Meadow said like it was obvious. ”Like you're doing now. So, could you do me a solid and shut the fuck up?”

”Sorry,” Gravis said with a smile.

”Also, you have your accessory to talk to if you feel lonely,” Meadow said.

”Accessory?” Gravis asked in confusion.

”Yeah, that guy at the edge of your clearing,” Meadow said.

Gravis turned around and looked behind him.

There, he saw Morus in the distance.

Gravis blinked a couple of times.

”Huh, I forgot he existed.”
