Lightning Is the Only Way

When Mortis heard that Gravis comprehended the Law of the Cosmos, he was beside Azure. They had been together for quite some time.

Azure was currently focusing on learning the Law of Humility, which wasn't easy. However, with Mortis' help, it became far easier.

Not many people could tell the different moods Mortis was currently under due to his introverted personality, but Azure could.

She had noticed that Mortis had started to act strangely a couple million years ago. However, by now, so much time had passed that this newer version of Mortis was already the normal Mortis to her.

Maybe she realized that Mortis was acting strange, or she simply accepted that this was the new Mortis. Nobody knew.

Azure didn't like to think about such complex things. She liked thinking about stuff she could see and hear, not stuff that she couldn't perceive with any of her senses.

The couple of days after Mortis had heard about Gravis, he had seemingly changed out of nowhere.

He smiled more, laughed more, and joked more.

Azure welcomed the change, and she enjoyed spending time with Mortis even more.

Azure stopped cultivating for a while when Mortis practically dragged her across the entire world. They were visiting the places outside the Core Regions, and they were even visiting other worlds.

As a Heaven's Magnate, it wasn't very difficult for Mortis to go to other worlds. He only had to control his power so that he didn't accidentally destroy these lower worlds.

They had even wanted to visit the world Azure had been born in, but that world had been abandoned by Orthar. He had simply broken it down into Energy.

However, the other middle world, the one Azure had gone to, was still there, and Azure led Mortis around to see everything.

Sure, a lot of time had passed, but a couple of landmarks were still there. Additionally, with the Law of Time, they could see how it had once been. They could also watch what Azure had been doing in the past.

Azure showed Mortis her life.

Now, it was like Mortis had always been with her.

Then, Azure showed Mortis her life in the higher world.

In the end, Mortis decided to also show his life in the higher world.

When Azure saw the young Mortis, she was shocked.
