Lightning Is the Only Way

After spending a couple of years together, Stella suddenly got an idea.

She told Gravis to wait for her and that she would have a surprise for him.

Gravis only lifted an eyebrow, but he complied.

Stella left for some hours, and when she returned, Gravis' eyes widened.

Stella had just become an Ancestral God!

"Surprise!" Stella said with a bright smile. "Our tribulations are now synchronized! We never have to worry alone. Now, we can worry about each other at the same time!"

Gravis wasn't sure what he should feel right now.

Stella had just gone through her tribulation, and she had thrown away a million years of her longevity for this.

Stella noticed Gravis' expression, and she immediately knew what he was thinking about. "Oh, come on. Longevity is irrelevant when your goal is supreme power. These one million years don't matter. Additionally, I can comprehend Laws faster by being an Ancestral God."

However, Gravis only silently went to her and pulled her close to him.

Yes, it wasn't very relevant to them, but Stella had still thrown a million years away just so that they didn't need to worry about each other separately.

Who would do that for their partner?

When Stella saw Gravis' emotional expression, she only giggled. "Silly, it really wasn't much."

"I don't know what I've done to deserve you," Gravis said quietly.

"Hey! I should be the one saying that!" Stella shouted with a pout.

The two of them continued joking around for some time, but eventually, all the jokes transformed into tenderness.

They were so happy with each other.

Even more, they had so much time now. Both of them had a full three million years of longevity now.

So what if they spent a hundred thousand years together?

That wasn't even so much time anymore.

Whenever the two of them were together, the days seemed to stretch into infinity, but at the same time, a lot of time would pass in an instant.

At this moment, everything was perfect.
