Chapter 1086 - 1086 – Samsara Ends (1/2)
Stella felt relieved and touched when Liam said these words.
She felt so sorry for him and guilty for leaving him behind.
Yet, she knew that Liam had to find a light of his own.
They would still be very close, but he had to find someone to share a deeper connection with.
Stella pulled Liam aside, and they teleported away.
They needed to have a heart-to-heart.
Gravis looked at the place where Liam had just been with a smile.
He also wanted Liam to be happy.
The relationship between the two of them had been awkward in the beginning, but they had long gotten past that.
Now, Liam was a genuine friend to Gravis.
”I think it's my time, dad,” Aris said.
Gravis looked at his son with pride and nodded.
”Your personality has become very stable. You should be able to get through Samsara,” he said.
Aris nodded.
Samsara activated.
The first perspective was from Gravis.
Aris saw how Gravis looked over him with worry ever since he had been born, and with his maturity, Aris noticed that Gravis had always loved him as a son.
Even though Aris had been nothing but a mindless animal in the beginning, Gravis had still viewed him as his son.
Something like this wasn't common.
When Aris saw his young self, he nearly died of shame.
He had been so stupidly arrogant back then.
Luckily, Aris' personality was steady enough to resist the onslaught of embarrassing memories.
Aris also saw his master again, and Aris saw how his master viewed him.
His master saw Aris as a younger version of himself, someone that needed help to mature properly.
Even until the very end, Aris' master had looked at Aris with pride.
Aris was doing a great job!
When Aris came to his reunion with his father, he saw how much Gravis had cared for him and how proud he was of him.
Aris felt thankful that he had a father such as Gravis.
In the end, Aris managed to get through Samsara without any significant issues.
On top of the Major Law of Time, Aris also comprehended the Law of Humility and the Law of Empathy.
Samsara had increased Aris' power by a lot, and Aris felt as sure of himself as never before.
When Samsara ended, Aris looked at Gravis with a peaceful smile.
”Thank you,” he said.
”I did nothing,” Gravis said with a smile. ”You did all of this yourself.”
Gravis still felt a bit guilty for leaving his son so soon in his life.
Yet, Aris didn't mind.
Right now, he was glad that Gravis was his father.
Aris didn't even glance at his mother, Azure, who was also present.
They were nothing more than companions.
There was no love between them.
It sounded cruel to say, but that actually wasn't a problem.
This was simply how beasts were.
”Argh, fine!” Dorian suddenly shouted. ”Me next. Everyone else got through it, so I can't keep postponing it! Where would I put my pride as an old man if I chickened out now.”
Gravis laughed a bit. ”You'll be fine, Dorian,” he said.
”Of course I will!” Dorian answered while crossing his arms.
Gravis put Dorian under Samsara.
Dorian watched his life, and he nodded with appreciation at himself.
The young Dorian was just as dominating as the old one!
When Dorian came to the part where he met Gravis, he was hit with nostalgia.
This strange, young person would change everyone's life.
Dorian had known that Gravis was special, but he had severely underestimated the effect Gravis would have on the lower world and everyone's lives.
Gravis had been so weak in front of Dorian.
Dorian could have killed him with a wave of his hand.
And now, Gravis was so powerful that Dorian couldn't even feel his power, even though they were in the same Realm.
It was still very difficult to get through Samsara, but Dorian managed it eventually.
In the end, Dorian also comprehended a very important Law.
Just like Ferris, Dorian had comprehended the Law of Freedom!
Dorian had always lived in freedom and had always done the things he wanted. Going through Samsara had only reaffirmed that mindset.
Dorian was missing a lot of Emotional Laws and Laws of Perceived Reality, but he had overcome the biggest hurdle of becoming a Heaven's Magnate.
Maybe, he could become a Heaven's Magnate eventually.
Only time would tell.
Gravis informed Dorian that he shouldn't inform the others about his Law, and Dorian only scoffed.
”I know! I'm not stupid!” Dorian answered with a scoff.
Gravis only chuckled a bit.
”I think this old man has waited for long enough,” Styr said as he stepped forward. ”If you will, Gravis.”
Gravis nodded and hit Styr with Samsara.
As a beast, it was relatively easy for Styr to get through Samsara.
Yet, there were still some funny moments.
One of them was how Gravis perceived him when they met.
It was such a strange situation.
Styr was an incredible danger to Gravis, but he also wasn't a danger at all.
Luckily, Styr had basically ignored the situation. He hadn't wanted to deal with such complex situations.
Styr had it a bit harder than the other beasts but still easier than most humans. Styr's mindset was on the more complex side of beasts, but not as complex as a human mindset.
When Styr recovered, he had comprehended the Major Law of Time and the Law of Control.
The Law of Control was very had to comprehend, but Styr managed it.
Comprehending the Law of Control needed a very rational mind that was able to perceive complex relationships between different beings.
In comparison, the Law of Freedom needed a simple mindset.
Most Peak Divine Gods either missed the Law of Freedom or the Law of Control for exactly that reason.
Gravis' mindset had a greater affinity for the Law of Control due to his analyzing mind. Luckily, he had managed to grasp freedom since it was his goal.
However, it was unknown if Gravis would have actually understood it if the highest Heaven and the middle Heaven hadn't suppressed him to the extreme.
