Some seconds passed in silence.

"That's the thing," his mother continued, "When you become the most powerful cultivator, you won't have any enemies left and no goal. No one can threaten you, so, what now? What's the purpose of becoming even more powerful?"

Gravis released another shaky breath. "It feels lonely," he said.

His mother nodded. "It is lonely," she said, and then she furrowed brows. "Gravis, I'm going to tell you some things about your father and me. Your father won't be happy, but he'll just have to deal with it," she said.

Gravis also furrowed his brows. "Isn't that bad?" he asked.

His mother snorted. "So what? He's the strongest and is already going rampant in the whole world, but what about it? Life isn't an easy road where you never get hurt and always get whatever you want. Your father should know that. He'll just have to suck it up this time," she said with a smirk.

Gravis was a bit astonished at first but then chuckled. "I guess not even father is safe from you," he said.

"He sure isn't," his mother said with a smile, "people have different outlooks and priorities. Your father looks at the world differently from me, but so what? Am I supposed to follow your father's every word? I'm my own person, after all," she said.

Gravis closed his eyes. "Okay, tell me," he said.

"Your father has had a rough life. Similar to you, he put strength above everything else and let no one come close to him," she started explaining. "After many, many years, he was finally the strongest and was able to resist Heaven, but what then? Heaven was the first enemy that he couldn't defeat, no matter how much time passed or how strong he got."
