Lightning Is the Only Way

The three of them talked for several days. Gravis and Mortis were telling Zero's Essence about their entire life, and Zero's Essence was very intrigued by the story.

She had thought that her own story was very incredible, but it was nothing in comparison to Gravis.

Gravis had met several different Heavens while no one alive had even met one!

It was like the entire Cosmos was unfolding before Gravis and Mortis, breaking normal convention.

The entire time, Zero's Essence only listened, and she rarely spoke up. Gravis even asked several times if he was boring her, but she always gave a negative answer.

"No, continue. I'm very intrigued," she kept saying.

And then, she became silent again.

Gravis knew that Zero's Essence was probably a very introverted person, but her introversion was really something else. Gravis assumed that she saw Gravis' story as a show or entertainment, not a dialog.

In these days, it was basically only Gravis talking with Mortis adding some things at the side. Yet, even Mortis was talking more than Zero's Essence.

"And that's when you showed up," Gravis finished.

Zero's Essence didn't react.

Gravis looked at Mortis uncertainly, and Mortis just shrugged.

"So, is there anything else you want to know?" Gravis asked, trying to disperse the awkward atmosphere.

"Why did you tell me all of this?" Zero's Essence asked calmly.

That question surprised Gravis a bit. "Why not? We're family, and I like talking with people."

she said. "Family is only a bond by blood. However, it's worthless when considering powerful Cultivators. We have not grown up together, and this is the first time we are talking. We are strangers, and there are
