Lightning Is the Only Way

Chapter 717

Gravis lost himself to time. For once, he was able to forget everything about himself and dedicated his entire being tounderstanding the different kinds of stone directly in front of him. It was like the magic of understanding Laws had returned, andGravis felt like it was even more beautiful than back then.

Back then, Gravis wasn't able to properly appreciate the feeling of wonder. Only when someone lost something and regained itmuch later would they truly be able to appreciate it.

It was simply a joy to look at all the different stones.Whooom!

Suddenly, the Energy inside the ore stopped moving. The metallic essence vanished, leaving behind only dead stone. Gravisfrowned as he inspected everything. Was something wrong with the Virtualization Array?

Gravis checked the Virtualization Array, but it didn't move at all. It had simply stopped working for some reason.Gravis concentrated on the Virtualization Array and felt that there was no more Energy inside it. It was empty.

"Empty?" Gravis asked himself. Then, his eyes widened. "Are 500 years already over? But | didn't manage to comprehend theLaw of Core!"

Gravis inspected his surroundings with his Law of Time and noticed that 500 years had passed. Sure enough, Gravis had stayedhere for the entire duration.

"What!? That was never 500 years!" Gravis said.

"Father, has it been 500 years?" he asked.

"Yes," his father answered.

“What? How?" Gravis asked in shock. "I only just started!"

"You were so entranced with the Laws that you lost track of time, Gravis. It happens. Just rent it again," his father said in a boredmanner.

Gravis still couldn't wrap his head around it, but everything pointed at that 500 years had passed.

"500 years, over just like that," Gravis said to himself as he grimaced. "So much time has passed, and | didn't even notice. Thisfeels similar to when Heaven told me that | had stayed 200 years in the gap between worlds. It feels like time has been stolenfrom me."

After a while, Gravis sighed. "| guess these occasions will happen more frequently in the future. Understanding the Laws will takelonger and longer."

Gravis looked at the mountain. The mountain was still there since the Virtualization Array only controlled the metal essence,which created different kinds of ore on its own.

Gravis thought back to the time he met Ferris. "Back then, Ferris had been around 3,000 years old. He felt absolutely ancient tome. 3,000 years was such an incredibly long time. | also thought about how much | could learn in 3,000 years."

Gravis laughed bitterly. "Yet, look at me now. If | add everything together, I'm already around 3,650 years old. I'm even older thanFerris back then. It felt like | had been only 100 years old, only one year ago. | have become ancient."

"Time is unforgiving," Gravis said, "but | already know that."

Gravis remained silent for a couple more minutes, just thinking. Then, he sighed again and pocketed the ore mountain. This wasa byproduct of the Virtualization Array, and it belonged to Gravis. One could say it was a nice bonus.

Gravis estimated the ore's worth and concluded that this was around three million Immortal Stones worth of ore. This soundedlike an enormous number, but one shouldn't forget that Gravis paid 50 million Immortal Stones. On top of that, Gravis had seenthe clerk putting around 25 God Stones into the Virtualization Array. So, in total, this ore was not even nearly enough to make upfor the cost of producing it.

After that, Gravis pocketed the Virtualization Array and inspected the city to find Yersi. He wanted to talk to his daughter aftersuch a long time.

Gravis' eyes widened in surprise when he found two people in his "living room". One of them was Jake, while the other one wasa cute girl, seemingly 20 years old. The girl was also an Early Minor Circulation Immortal.

"Already?" Gravis asked himself.Gravis teleported over to them and looked with wonder at his daughter.

She had pale skin with extremely long, black hair. Her hair actually reached the floor, and for some reason, Gravis got remindedof a scorpion’s tail when he looked at it. Her hair kind of looked... dangerous.

"Father!" Yersi shouted in surprise as she jumped into Gravis' embrace. "I'm a human now!" she said with excitement.

"| can see that," Gravis said with a bit of shock and a smile. Then he put his hand on her head and ruffled her hair. "You lookbeautiful. Honestly, if you had a different hair color, you would look very similar to your mother."

Yersi halted. "Mother?" she asked uncertainly. "| have actually never seen mother. Back then, | was very deep in the philosophyof beasts and didn't care about meeting her. Now that | think about it, | think | regret not meeting her."

"You never saw her?" Gravis asked in surprise. "I thought you would have seen her at least once," he said as he broke theembrace to look into her eyes.

Yersi looked towards the ground and shook her head. "No, | didn't," she said."Do you want to see her?" Gravis asked.Yersi hesitated a little bit as Jake remained silent. He didn't want to interrupt the reunion. Then, Yersi nodded.novelbin

Gravis used the element of light to create an image of Azure. Then, he adapted his Will-Aura and Spirit to emulate Azure's aura.Lastly, he used the wind to emulate her voice.

Gravis decided to show Yersi the time he first met Azure, in the middle of the competition for her future mate.

Yersi looked with confusion at her mother. She told herself that this was her mother, but she couldn't feel a connection at all.Looking at the images of her mother felt very foreign and weird.

Gravis showed her a lot of hisconversations with her, and whenAzure said that she didn't care abouther children, YersivninGsd Site Yet,she kn sary well how beasts were.She only had to look at Cera and Aris.Hearing these words from hermother hurt her, but she could alsounderstand her.

"Thank you, father," Yersi said. "| think that's enough."Gravis stopped the simulation and looked at his daughter with a complicated look."There was no love between your mother and me," Gravis said.

Yersi nodded. "| know. | canunderstand your predicament, and |also know how beasts think," s

"I'm glad that you're my father," she said wholeheartedly.

Gravis felt like his heart stopped when he heard that. A sweet wave of love, happiness and caring went throughout his body ashe hugged his daughter again.

"Thank you, Yersi," he said.Yersi only giggled a bit. "Why? I'm only telling the truth. You don't have to thank me for that."

Yersi had seen her mother now, andshe had realized that she and hermother had no chemistry.

Because of this, Yersi could finally say goodbye to the mother she never had.

They simply were two different beings from different worlds.
