"The first level of the Heaven's Trial," Orthar said, "only involves you, Mortis."

"Why only me?" Mortis asked.

"Because you and Gravis are not equal."

Gravis and Mortis furrowed their brows.

This was a sore spot for them, and they would take this as a provocation if any other person had said that.

However, it was hard to argue with the very being that knew absolutely everything.

"Your power is about equal, but everything else isn't," Orthar explained.

"Gravis' conviction is far above yours, and if you also want to become powerful, your conviction has to reach his level."

"Why do you care?" Mortis suddenly asked. "From what I've heard, the entire deal with Gravis being some sort of mediator between you and our father only includes Gravis, not me."

"You said previously that someone that only chases power won't face any issues before they become Heaven's Magnates. Yet, when we reach that Realm, he and I would have already been split into separate beings. After all, we only need the True Law of Sentient Life."

"At that point, he is he, and I am I," Mortis said. "So, why would you care that I survive for a long time?"

Orthar only looked at Mortis.

"You are even more trustworthy than Gravis, in my opinion," Orthar said.

Gravis raised an eyebrow, but eventually, he nodded in understanding.

Mortis was generally more coldhearted, but Mortis also put fairness above nearly everything. Orthar hadn't gone against Mortis in the past, and with Mortis' fairness-oriented mindset, it would be very likely that he wouldn't go against Orthar.

"There's a possibility that Gravis will turn a blind eye to a sudden attack of his father, but I know that you won't."

"I'm using Gravis as insurance against your father, but I want to use you as insurance against Gravis."

"If Gravis ever breaks his word without a good reason, you won't just stand idly by, and Gravis knows that. That's why the chances of him breaking his word will be several times smaller," Orthar explained.

'That really reminds me of the old Orthar,' Gravis thought. 'He has insurances for insurances just to be prepared for every possible eventuality.'

Mortis looked at Gravis for some seconds.
