Lightning Is the Only Way

"We can begin," the Opposer said after he arrived.

To Gravis and Mortis, the Opposer didn't feel different. After all, they hadn't seen his interaction with his wife.

Orthar had seen it, but he didn't care.

"Condense your Cosmoses," Orthar said to Gravis and Mortis.

Gravis and Mortis threw each other a glance.

For some reason, the atmosphere between them was somber.

It was like they were saying goodbye to each other.

After some seconds, the two closed their eyes and summoned their worlds behind them.

WHOOOM!

Their Cosmoses began to widen and shine. When Peaceful Serenity had done that, the clouds of tribulation had appeared above her, but those clouds didn't appear for them. After all, there was no more sense in keeping up the act.

As this happened, the powerful Cultivators in the highest world looked up with surprise.

The Energy!

It was falling!

They tried to find where the Energy was going, but they couldn't find it. The Energy was simply leaving the highest world.

The most powerful Cultivators also checked the other worlds, but they also couldn't find anything. However, when they tried to check the void between worlds, they became shocked.

Their Spirit Sense was blocked!

Their Spirit Senses could look into the worlds but not into the void between worlds!

This quickly told them that the reason why the Energy was reducing was inside the void between worlds. Yet, they couldn't find out what this reason actually was.

Not even the Heaven's Magnates could look into the void between worlds. However, they didn't need to in order to find the reason.

They simply had to check who was missing.

Who was missing?

Gravis, Mortis, and, surprisingly, the Opposer.

When they noticed that, they became nervous.

Was the Opposer using Gravis and Mortis to overthrow Heaven?

However, their thoughts didn't matter. They couldn't change anything regardless.

They were the most powerful Cultivators, but they were just as helpless as the mortals.

Their power made no difference in front of the Opposer and Heaven.

As Gravis and Mortis absorbed more and more Energy, Orthar looked at the Opposer.

"Since I have more Energy, I will take on the first step by myself. After that, I will strengthen Mortis while you can strengthen Gravis," Orthar said.

"No, I want to strengthen Mortis," the Opposer said coldly.

Orthar only looked into the Opposer's eyes neutrally. He had already known that the Opposer would say that.

However, the statement made no difference.

He was the one in control, and he knew that.

"You have no choice," Orthar said. "I will strengthen Mortis. Do not forget. Time is on my side."
