Lightning Is the Only Way

The Heaven's Trial was over, and Gravis and Mortis had transformed.

Their power was incomparable to before, and even more, Mortis had transformed. Initially, one wouldn't directly notice that Mortis had changed, but if someone knew him very well, they would notice it.

Mortis had become secure in his life and identity.

The Opposer brought them to his home, and they arrived in his room.

As soon as they arrived, the Economistress came to the room with an excited smile.

"You're back!" she shouted with excitement.

"Hey, mom," Gravis and Mortis said simultaneously.

The Economistress looked at Gravis for a second but then focused on Mortis.

"Oh!"

PACK!

Mortis was immediately pulled into a hug by his mother.

"Oh, my boy has finally become an adult! I'm so proud!" she exclaimed with happiness.

For a bit, Mortis felt awkward, but he realized that there was no reason to feel awkward.

So, Mortis returned the embrace and let out a slight smile.

"Yes, I know what I want now," he said.

After that, the Economistress bombarded the two of them with questions about how the Heaven's Trial had been. She tried to keep it hidden, but she had been quite worried about the two of them.

The Economistress always kept herself in the background when it came to the Cultivation journey of her children, but that didn't mean that she didn't care.

She knew that she wouldn't be a great help in Cultivation since she had never gone through it herself. Because of that, she decided that the best help would be to give her children their freedom. If they knew that she was constantly worried, they might slow down just for her, and she didn't want that.

After a while of talking, the Economistress only looked with a bright smile at her two sons.

"It feels like you were kids just yesterday, but before I knew it, you're already this big," she said.

Gravis and Mortis felt bad for their mother at this moment. Parents often said these sentences, but when it came to the Economistress, that sentence was as true as it got.

Gravis and Mortis had only been alive for a bit more than a million years.
