It took some time for Gravis to recover, but he knew that this separation was necessary.

He had been too relaxed the past couple of years. If he wanted to, he could simply stop cultivating, but he also couldn't.

If he stopped, he would feel guilty beyond comparison.

Mortis' freedom depended on it.

His own freedom depended on it.

And lastly, he would feel like he would be disappointing his father.

His life had been filled with happiness and warmth for the past years, but this happiness could only last if he continued on his path to power.

Even more, time was passing so quickly in his perception that even if he stopped Cultivating right now, it would feel like nearly no time would have passed when a tribulation arrived that would kill him.

Now, more than ever before, Gravis could truly empathize with Orpheus.

Gravis truly understood why Orpheus had stopped.

Yet, after hours of melancholy, Gravis' eyes opened again with determination.

'How ironic,' Gravis thought. 'When Stella left, my feelings told me that progressing further on the path to power was meaningless. Yet, as soon as I calmed down, I felt my resolve strengthen.'

'I want to go back to being with Stella, and for that, I need to survive the Gate of Death and Arc!'

'Now, I have an actual goal. I've tasted true happiness, and I will do anything that's necessary to reclaim it!'

'Anything!'

Gravis wanted to return to Stella, and, even more, he wanted to stay with Stella forever.

And to accomplish that, Gravis needed to become as powerful as the highest Heaven. Only then would he have enough leverage to pull Stella with him to true immortality.

Gravis wanted his time with Stella to hold forever!

'Enough moping around,' Gravis thought as he cracked his neck.

'It's back to comprehending Laws, and after that, the Gate of Death!'

BANG!

Gravis immediately charged into the ground.

In no time at all, Gravis was a million kilometers deep.

At this depth, space was already being warped by the sheer power of Gravity, but he continued.

Gravis activated a couple of Laws that protected him and continued diving down.

That was until he hit something.

BANG!

Gravis came to a sudden stop as he hit something hard.

After healing his body, Gravis looked down.
