Chapter 880: What to Do? (1/2)

The three of them only teleported a million kilometers away, but that was a nearly insurmountable distance for a Nascent Nourishing Cultivator like Yi Lu.

Siral waited for further instructions while Gravis scratched his chin in thought.

”What are you thinking about?” Mortis asked evenly. ”You already know that you have four things to do. What's there to think about?”

Gravis smiled bitterly. Sure enough, Mortis was just another Gravis. Mortis immediately knew what things Gravis wanted to do.

It was kind of weird to have a person accompany him that could read his thoughts like that.

”Well, there's a fifth thing,” Gravis said awkwardly as he looked at Mortis with a complex expression.

Mortis raised an eyebrow. Then, a slight light shone inside his eyes as he realized what Gravis was hinting at.

”No problem,” Mortis said.

Gravis was a bit taken aback. ”Ehm, are you sure you know what I wanted to ask you?” Gravis asked just to be sure.

Mortis nodded. ”I made a promise in the lower world, and I intend to keep it,” Mortis said.

”Just because of a promise?” Gravis asked. He didn't want to force Mortis to do this just because of guilt.

”No,” Mortis said. ”Joyce is perfectly compatible with me. She chases power and can control her emotions in a dangerous situation from what we have seen from father's images. She is also very powerful.”

Yes, this was what Gravis was thinking about.

He couldn't be with Stella without any guilt as long as his promise with Joyce still remained.

So, Gravis looked at Mortis.

Wasn't Mortis exactly the form of Gravis that Joyce fell in love with?

Wasn't Mortis also that form of Gravis that fell in love with Joyce?

For Joyce, it would be like no time had passed.

Mortis was exactly the person that she had chased after for tens of thousands of years.

One also shouldn't forget that Mortis was a human. Mortis' personality might be heavily influenced by Divine Lightning, but he still had Gravis' personality as a basis.

This meant that Mortis could also feel happiness, love, companionship, and so on. The only difference was that these emotions were not very relevant to him.

Mortis chased power, and with that goal, an affinity for rage, pride, and disdain was born. It wasn't that Mortis could only feel those things, but that his personality only mainly focused on them.

This meant that Mortis was also interested in Joyce.

Who had Joyce become?

She had become a beautiful, cold, and immensely powerful woman. She was like a battle goddess, a general, an elite fighter.

Mortis was attracted to powerful women, and Joyce was perfect for him.

Additionally, this love problem didn't only affect Gravis but also Mortis.

Since Mortis had been created out of Gravis' personality, he had also held a strong attraction towards Stella. However, Joyce was more to his liking.

”Thanks,” both of them said at the same time.

Then, both of them lifted an eyebrow at each other.

After that, they realized why the other was thanking them.

Lastly, they shared a nod of understanding.

The love problem had been solved without any issues, and both of them could now pursue the person they loved without any guilt.

'Man, I dodged a bullet there,' Gravis thought. 'I don't want to constantly be called weak and soft whenever I show my love to my partner. Living with Joyce would have been no fun at all.'

'Man, I dodged a bullet there,' Mortis thought. 'I don't want to constantly keep myself in check for fear of accidentally hurting Stella's feelings. A strong and powerful woman like Joyce can at least pose a challenge to me. I hate people that just directly keel over after the first sign of confrontation.'

Siral was a bit confused by the weird interaction between Gravis and Mortis, but it wasn't his place to question his Master's life.

”So, where should we begin?” Gravis asked.

”Arc first,” Mortis said. ”While we're there, you can try Weapon Cultivation.”

Gravis thought about it and nodded. ”Sounds good.”

Gravis had four things planned that he wanted to do.

First of all, he wanted to talk with Arc again about what had happened. He also wanted to introduce Mortis to Arc.

Second, Gravis wanted to try his hand at Weapon Cultivation again. His lightning was now empty and could accommodate other Laws without rejecting them. This meant that Gravis could directly infuse his new kind of lightning with ethereal Laws.

Like this, the three transformations that had always reduced the power of the attack immensely had now been reduced to only one transformation.

Gravis would do these two things first since they took the least time.

After that, Gravis would need to do two other things.

First of all, Gravis wanted to meet Stella again. His issue with his lightning had been solved, and Gravis was no longer in danger of being changed severely. He also wanted to know if Stella had forgiven him for what he had done in the past.

Lastly, Gravis needed to go through with his grand plan. This plan had been in the making for a long time, and it would allow him to have a home and earn tons of money. However, realizing this plan would take a considerable amount of time and travel, which was why it came last.

”By the way, I almost forgot,” Gravis said. ”We should reach the Immortal King Realm again.”
