Gravis sighed and readied himself. He hadn't expected for one of his friends to die that quickly, but that had always been a possibility. "Who was it?"

"The one called Lasar," his father said.

Gravis took a deep breath. "How did he die?" he asked.

"Normal tempering," his father answered, "he underestimated the power of the weaker of his two opponents. After killing the stronger one, he had thought that the weaker one was easier to kill. The weaker opponent self-destructed, taking your friend with him."

Gravis looked to the side, at the windows, into the outside. "That was in the middle world, right?" he asked.

"Yes," his father answered, "he met up with that old man that you also consider your friend. That's something, at least."

Gravis took another deep breath. He was no longer running away from his pain. He felt the shock and grief inside him. He also remembered how he had met Lasar and how he had accepted Gravis back into the Lightning Sect.

They both stayed silent for a couple of minutes. Gravis was lost in thought, and the Opposer simply waited for him. Gravis had to deal with these things by himself.

"The others have also already reached the middle world?" Gravis asked after some minutes.

The Opposer nodded. "Every person you consider as a friend is in the middle world now."

Gravis had expected that already. He had been back home for nearly three weeks. With the time dilation, that would be over 50 years for the lower world.

"The lower world is still about the same?" Gravis asked.

"Nothing much changed except that there are many more people going through the tenth Stage of Energy Gathering," his father said.

Gravis had also anticipated that. The changes to the world would be very slow, except for the greater power of the Elemental Sects. With Heaven no longer killing people with a Will-Aura in the Body Tempering Realm, more powerful people would emerge.

Gravis remained silent for some more minutes, just thinking about his friends and the lower world. Over 50 years had passed in the lower world, giving Gravis a feeling of disconnect. The lower world was quickly changing while he had only talked to some people. The worlds were really different.
