Female Novel
Chapter 661
Gravis appeared inside his father's room in his human form. The fight against Heaven had ended, and Gravis no longer neededto remain in his beast form.
Right now, Gravis had the appearance of a young adult, maybe in his middle twenties. He was clean-shaven with short blackhair. Yet, the color of his clothing had changed. Gravis felt that being dressed entirely in black was no longer that fitting for hisperson. He preferred a light blue shirt with black pants.
Gravis noticed his father and also immediately noticed the Life Ring lying in front of him. After a short sigh of relief, Gravis onlygrinned at his father.
His father grinned back."Sorry that you had to see that, father," Gravis said as he sat down in front of him.
"No problem, son," the Opposer said as he summoned some coffee. "| have to be honest. | felt some pain when the Old Bastarddemonstrated his control over you, but you brought it back beautifully.”
Gravis sighed again. "What could | have done? Just let my family stay isolated inside the Life Ring for hundreds or thousands ofyears? Some people would argue that this is worse than death. Heaven has proven that it doesn't want to hurt me."
Gravis laid back. "However, forcing me to first hand over my Life Ring to the middle Heaven and then transporting it was whatbrought me to the edge. If the highest Heaven had just taken the Life Ring after a verbal consent from my side, | would havenever seen the suppression."
Gravis sneered. "But, come on, forcing me to hand over my Life Ring first? That was just a dick move."
Gravis looked out of the window and saw Opposer City. "But | have to thank the highest Heaven for that. Without this forcedshowing of control, | would not have realized what true freedom meant."
Gravis chuckled a bit. "Of course, | won't just feel indebted to the highest Heaven. | think it would be fair to just call it quits. Aslong as it doesn't try something like this again, | won't mind."
"Gravis," the Opposer said with a severe tone. "I think there is something that you might not fully understand."Gravis noticed the serious tone of his father. "Yes?" he asked.
“Would you want one of your three kids to fight against your middle Heaven because you had an enmity with it?" the Opposerasked.
“Of course not," Gravis said. "This is my fight, and my-"
And then, Gravis fell into silence.
He looked at his father and then back at the Life Ring. After that, Gravis began frowning."Is this also how you look at me?" Gravis asked.
The Opposer nodded as he pushed a cup of coffee over to Gravis. "You are your own person, Gravis. If you have no enmity withthe Old Bastard, you don't have to get involved in my fight. So, don't feel like a traitor when you decide to not act against the OldBastard.”
"The only thing | wish for is that you don't directly go against your mother or me," the Opposer said. "But | don’t need to say that."Gravis took a deep breath and looked out of the window again.
Gravis wasn't specifically targeting the highest Heaven because of his father, but it would be a lie to say that being the Opposer'schild didn't influence the decision. Gravis always felt like he should help his family against their enemy. After all, wasn't this howfamily worked?
Gravis had also known that his father probably wouldn't force him to fight the highest Heaven, but there had always been afeeling in the back of Gravis’ mind that it was his duty to help.
Yet, when his father related his feelings towards Gravis to Gravis' feelings towards his children, Gravis truly understood. If one ofGravis’ three kids wanted to fight against the same enemy as him, he wouldn't stop them, but he would also never force them. Itwas entirely their own decision.
“When | saw the Life Ring in front of me," the Opposer said, "I felt pained, but that was not because | felt like you betrayed me. |felt pity for your situation. Back then, you had been fully under the Old Bastard's control without even noticing it. | felt sad for yoursituation, not my own."
Gravis sighed again and took a swig from his coffee."Urgh!" Gravis suddenly coughed. "Holy shit, what is in there!?" he asked as he stared at the cup like it had just offended him.
The Opposer sighed. "Nicely done, Gravis," he commented. "Now, you destroyed the entire mood of the conversation with yourantics."
"Hey!" Gravis shouted. "That's not my fault! It's you that made this weird coffee. You could have just-"Then, Gravis stopped as he looked at the Opposer's serious face.
Then, Gravis narrowed his eyes.
"Is this a prank?" he asked.
The Opposer narrowed his eyes.novelbin
"Yes."
Gravis blinked a couple of times, but then he had to laugh.
"Seriously, how do you always get me with these deadpan deliveries?” he asked with a smile.
The Opposer smiled. "I decided to make this coffee more bitter than usual. After all, weren't you the one that said you were amiddle-aged man or something? We old people like bitter tastes."
Gravis smirked. "Do | lookmiddle-aged to you, old man?" Gravisasked. "That was past Gravis. Thecurrent Gravis rea izes(thathehad

"Well," the Opposer said. "Age may be relevant for mortals, but for us Cultivators, age is only a feeling. Someone at the end oftheir lifespan can appear and act like a child, and someone that is only 80 can act and look like an old man. Age is only afeeling.”
"Yeah, great. Now that that's out of the way," Gravis said as he waved his coffee cup from side to side. "Can you give me someactually good coffee?"
The Opposer had to smile when heheard Gravis. After the lower world,Gravis had shown some more mindividuality, buthextivotldnt havesbuinded so "demanding' in front ofhim.

The Opposer summoned some new coffee and gave it to Gravis, who quickly drank it.
After drinking it, Gravis released a content sigh.
“Man, that's the stuff," Gravis said. "It's just as good as | remembered. Hey, can | create that stuff myself?"
“Not entirely," the Opposer said, "but before we get to that, don’t you want to introduce my grandchildren to me first?"Gravis smiled as he glanced at the Life Ring.
"They have been inside this Life Ring for 57 years. They are probably quite confused by now."
Gravis sighed again. "It's so weird that only 57 years passed for them while 750 years passed for me."
"Time is weird."
