Lightning Is The Only Way Chapter 1178 – 1178 – Repayment

When Gravis realized what Stella had done, his heart warmed.

“You didn’t have to do this,” Gravis said. “You wasted so much time just for me?”

Stella only smiled brightly with an expression devoid of regret.

“It’s what I want to do,” she said lovingly. “You’ve done so much for me, and I want to help you too.”

Gravis only hugged Stella with love.

Gravis postponed the condensation of his Form Law due to Stella.

Mortis spent 10,000 years with Azure and eventually started creating his own Form Law.

Gravis was still busy with Stella.

When Mortis felt that Gravis was still screwing around, he felt a bit annoyed, but that changed as more time passed.

BOOOOM!

Mortis’ eyebrows rose in surprise as he suddenly comprehended the five level four Laws of Plant Composition and the superior level five Law of Plant Composition.

However, that wasn’t the end. Shortly after that, Mortis comprehended the five level four Laws of Plant Growth and the superior level five Law of Plant Growth.

Even if they were only level four and level five Laws, there were still twelve of them, which was nothing to sneer at.

Comprehending all these Laws would have still taken them a couple thousand years.

Yet, another 10,000 years later, Mortis comprehended the level five Law of Soul Regeneration, which was quickly followed by the level five Law of Soul Dispersal.

Another 10,000 years later, Mortis comprehended the two level six Laws of Life Growth and Life Composition.

And then, the final Law came.

BOOOOM!

The level seven True Law of Physical Speed!

This Law was the main reason why Stella had taken so long.

Stella had completely ignored her own power and had focused on Laws Gravis needed.

Stella knew that Gravis didn’t know that much about the Life Laws, and she had helped him in that regard.

Stella had nearly completed all the Major Laws of Life.

Sadly, she hadn’t been able to comprehend the Law of Soul Infusion. There was simply something missing.

Stella had spent nearly 250,000 years comprehending these Laws.

A lot of them were not very useful to Gravis’ Battle-Strength, but the level seven Law of Physical Speed was very useful.

This Law wouldn’t directly allow Gravis to become faster due to his Law of Heavenly Lightning. After all, Heavenly Lightning’s speed was far superior to the speed of a level seven Law.

However, the Law would help Gravis in saving Energy. Since Gravis’ speed was now closer to the speed of Heavenly Lightning, he wouldn’t need as much Energy to push himself further. 

In essence, Stella had helped Gravis in reducing his Energy usage.

It wasn’t a gigantic help, but it was help.

Stella had managed to help Gravis.

Of course, Stella benefited just as much as Gravis and Mortis from this exchange.

Stella had received all of the Laws Gravis knew, except for the level eight Law of Lightning’s Manipulation since it was too high for Gravis’ Law of Empathy.

But wait, how was Stella able to give Gravis the level seven Law of Physical Speed? Wasn’t her Law of Empathy even lower than Gravis’?

Well, not anymore.

While Gravis and Stella had exchanged their love, Stella had realized something crucial.

She had essentially nearly wasted 250,000 years for something she didn’t need.

She had spent 25% of her longevity to selflessly help her husband.

When Stella had felt how happy Gravis was, all her hidden regrets vanished.

She had truly done the right thing, and seeing Gravis so happy was all she needed.

That was when Stella had comprehended the True Law of Empathy, a level nine Law.

Stella had never felt so much love before, and she was truly happy.

She gave herself fully to Gravis, and Gravis felt like a new world had opened before him.

BOOOOM!

Gravis also comprehended the True Law of Empathy!

The True Law of Empathy was incredibly powerful, allowing it to even transmit itself to others.

However, that also made sense. After all, the peak of empathy was sacrifice, and the True Law of Empathy had no problems with giving itself to others.

Stella had comprehended her first level nine Law, which also allowed Gravis to comprehend his second level nine Law.

The Law of Empathy was nearly useless in battle, but it was a necessary building block for the Law of the True World.

Additionally, comprehending the True Law of Empathy wasn’t easy. It was hard to comprehend it without the person being willing to sacrifice something important to them.

Mortis had also comprehended all of these Laws, and he thanked Stella deeply in his mind.

She had truly helped them.

Yet, all good times must come to an end at some point.

After 30,000 years of love, Gravis and Stella parted ways again.

However, they would never feel apart again. They had a connection with each other that only two people with the True Law of Empathy could have.

One could say it was the deepest love that could possibly be felt by any living being.

After parting with Stella, Gravis focused on creating his Form Law.

Mortis had already done a lot of preparation for the Form Law, and he told Gravis about all the useful parts.

Gravis still looked through all the other Battle Laws, but he agreed with Mortis when he didn’t find anything else of use.

Mortis had highlighted everything that he considered good or better and ignored everything he considered above average or worse, which still left a vast number of insights.

Mortis was already focusing on creating his Form Law, and he would soon be done. Sadly, Mortis’ Form Law would be Mortis’ Form Law, not Gravis’. Mortis and Gravis had very different fighting styles, and they preferred different attacks.

10,000 years later, Mortis condensed his level eight Form Law. 

Mortis’ Form Law was focused on slow but devastating attacks. He would supplement these slow attacks with various other skills that immobilized his enemy.

As long as he managed to hit with his Form Law, the enemy would be decimated.

Gravis needed another 20,000 years to condense his level eight Form Law.

Just like with his previous Form Law, Gravis preferred quick ranged attacks.

Gravis had plenty of Laws that allowed him to evade, retreat, or block his enemies’ attacks. Even more, Gravis could manipulate his enemies’ perception with his Law of Perceived Reality. Lastly, Gravis planned his Form Law around fighting with Mortis. Gravis and Mortis were the same being, and they would fight together most of the time.

After all, their lives were connected.

Mortis took the offensive. He would go first and clash with the opponent, while Gravis would help Mortis from a distance without wasting any Energy. Then, when Mortis got tired, Gravis could go in and explosively unleash all of his power. The enemy should have also been weakened by then.

Then, everything was done.

Gravis and Mortis had finished their Material Laws, Battle Laws, and Form Laws.

They were both still level four Star Gods, but their Law Comprehension was even superior to almost all Ancestral Gods.

They knew two level nine Laws, three level eight Laws, and 32 level seven Laws.

Gravis was now 1,250,000 years old, and he would even reach his tribulation in 95,000 years.

1,000,000 years had seemed so long when Gravis had become a Star God, but nearly all years had passed.

Gravis didn’t feel like he had lived for a million years, but it was the truth.

Then, Gravis took a deep breath and looked at Mortis.

“It’s time,” Gravis said.

Mortis nodded. “It’s time.”

Mortis took out an emblem and handed it to Gravis.

On the emblem was a gigantic eye hidden behind clouds.

It was the entry token for a Heaven’s Trial.

It was time.
