Lightning Is the Only Way

After the Economistress had shown Stella her God Stone ocean, Stella realized that she had given up too early.

She had tried to help Gravis by comprehending Formation Arrays, and she was definitely making some headway in that direction, but she was sure that there was even more she could do.

Even if it wasn't much, she could still help Gravis with more things.

And she already had a plan.

However, the plan would take a long time to come to fruition.

But for now, Gravis and Stella only stayed together for a long while. Of course, Gravis didn't forget his other friends.

In the beginning, it was a bit awkward to talk with his friends, but eventually, the old feeling of friendship returned. They hadn't seen each other in a long while, but they had also known each other for a long time.

However, a lot of things had still changed in the last 150,000 years.

For example, Yersi and Jake had a couple of children now.

When Gravis heard that, he was shocked and asked why they hadn't informed him.

Yersi answered that she didn't want to distract Gravis.

Additionally, the lives of the children could pass very quickly.

One of Yersi's kids had decided against Cultivating, and she had died in her eighties with a loving family.

That had happened several thousand years ago, and by now, so many generations had passed that there basically wasn't any connection between them anymore.

Yersi had stopped cultivating to stay by their daughter in her life.

Sadly, to beings that were hundreds of thousands of years old, a hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.

They had also stayed in contact with their grandkids and their great-grandkids, but eventually, the visits had become more and more infrequent, and eventually, they hadn't visited in 200 years.

Any kind of familial connection had already been severed.

The only thing connecting them was a tiny part of their blood.

Gravis could only sigh when he heard all of that.

Sure enough, having children was difficult when one was also cultivating.

If the child decided to live a mortal life, their entire life would pass in the blink of an eye.

If they decided to cultivate, their life would pass even faster. After all, the chances of becoming truly powerful were minuscule.

In both cases, the child would only live for a tiny, bright moment.

It was like a spark that brightened up the surroundings, but as soon as the spark vanished, only darkness remained.
