Chapter 1273 A Way To Connect To The Origin Source

Lucas and Grey soon arrived at the Dawson Family manor, the duo went to Grey's parents' building.

At the time they got to the house, it was already night, but everyone present was still awake.

When Martha saw Lucas, she didn't even need to speak before she saw the difference in his appearance. She looked at Grey and he was still the same.

"What happened to you?" She looked at him with a questioning look.

"Nothing."

"What do you mean nothing? You look totally different."

"I've always been like this, what are you talking about?"

Klaus and the others saw Lucas and their eyes popped out, Klaus especially.

"Uncle, where did you do this, and can I do it too?" He asked immediately.

Lucas looked at the eager Klaus, "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Where's the food?" He asked as he walked into the house with a calm face.

Grey watched his father walk into the house, under a barrage of questions from everyone present.

The only person who didn't walk over to Lucas was Grey's grandfather. He came over to Grey.

"My grandson, where did you two go to?" He asked with a warm smile.

Grey told him about the cave. His grandfather knew about his injuries so he knew that he needed to heal. When his grandfather asked about what happened to his father, he told him he wasn't aware of it since he was inside healing while his father was outside.

"Come on boy, I know you're well aware of what happened to your father." Grey's grandfather said with a straight face, "Alright, I'll give you access to a certain place. I heard you're trying to connect to the origin source, with it, you can."

When Grey heard this, his ears perked up. If his grandfather really knew such a place, then he would like to enter that place. With it, he would be able to increase his strength once again.

"I'm coming, I'll speak with Dad." Grey said.

"Good boy." Grey's grandfather patted his head.

Grey walked into the house and went straight to his father. It was when he entered the house his mother realized that Grey had been with his father, that meant that he should at least know a thing about what happened with him.

When she looked at Grey, Grey's soul almost left him. Of everyone present, Martha and Alice were the duo who had almost red eyes. They seemed desperate to get this. Klaus was also among those who wanted it, but he wasn't as desperate as the two ladies.

"Grey, where have you two been?" Martha asked, staring at Grey dead in the eyes, trying to see if he would flinch.

Grey, being well adept at things like this, didn't even blink before replying, "The cave."

Martha paused, she knew of Grey's condition, so heading to the cave to heal was something that was expected. Grey would most likely be healing, with the help of his father he would heal faster. From her knowledge, they shouldn't have spent this long there.

"Nothing else?" She asked.

"None that I know of." Grey was prepared to follow his father's words. Unfortunately, he knew that if his mother were to find out that he was the one who made his father like that, she might beat him up.

'I'll tell her later. I can't tell her in the presence of others.' He concluded internally.

If he were to tell his mother in the presence of the others, it wouldn't be too nice since Alice was too weak to enter the Chaos Space. Only his mother and grandfather would be able to bear it. Maybe after Alice gets to the Elemental Sovereign Plane, she would be able to enter, but for now, it was too dangerous to take her in. The same could be said for Klaus and Reynolds.

He walked over to his father, while avoiding his mother's gaze. After whispering into the ears of his father, the duo walked out, and left with his grandfather.

Martha was about to follow them, but she realized the void was sealed, along with it a voice that echoed on her ears.

'This is a boys thing.'

Martha pouted, feeling this had to do with the secret Grey and his father were keeping. But just as she was about to storm off, another gentle voice echoed in her ears.

'Mom, I'll help you later.'

She smiled and went back into the house, her expression was calm as she looked at the others and told them to calm down.

….

In the cave.

"You didn't allow me in there, why are you offering to send him there?" Lucas looked at his father seriously.

"He's more promising than you were." Grey's grandfather said with a straight face, he then added with a chuckle, "Besides, he seems to know what can make me look young, you obviously don't."

Lucas wanted to complain but he didn't know what to say. His father was right. Grey was the one who could make him younger, and he didn't have the talent Grey was showing. At this age, he was still in the early stages of the Elemental Venerable Plane.

"Alright." He gave a sigh of relief.

When they told Grey's grandfather of how it was done, he was flabbergasted. He never thought that covering the spiritual body with the light element would work. Neither did he know that Grey had the light element.

"How's that even possible?"

He was speechless. If Grey could do something like this, then he was beyond special.

Lucas didn't speak much, he only told him to reinforce his spiritual body and the duo sat down cross-legged.

Grey and his grandfather had their eyes closed while his father kept watch. It didn't take too long before his grandfather's body started to glow.

When Lucas was inside, he didn't know what was happening outside, but now that he was watching from outside, he saw what was going on.

His father's body was completely covered with the light element and he could visibly see the wrinkles disappear from his father's body.

He was dumbfounded at the sight of it. His father's spiritual body was what was covered with the light element, yet it reflected in his physical body.

"The light element truly is wondrous." He muttered.

A few minutes later, his father looked like someone in his late forties. One has to know that a few minutes back, his father looked like someone that was well over seventy-five, but now, he was completely different. He looked younger and more vibrant.

Grey and his grandfather opened their eyes almost at the same time. When he saw his grandfather's current look, he was stunned beyond words. His father's case wasn't as good as this.

"You look so young." He commented, creating an ice mirror for his grandfather.

His grandfather looked at himself, his previously gray hair was pure black. He smiled to himself.

"Haha, so refreshing. Thanks kid." He laughed out loud.

"Tomorrow I'll take you there. I'm going to meet someone."

With that, he disappeared, leaving only Grey and his father.

The duo exchanged glances before going back to the Dawson Family manor.

When they returned, they saw the group still seated talking.

Lucas and Grey sat down and joined them. Before they knew it, it was daybreak.

Alice, Reynolds, and Klaus wanted to explore the area. Grey was cool with it since he wanted to visit the place his grandfather promised. And he still had to make his mother look younger.

The trio left and he couldn't help but look around for Void and the bunny leader. Since they came here, the duo left and he hadn't heard anything from them.

When he contacted Void, he found out that the bunny leader was gathering a legion of bunnies to help its cause.

'It's just like how he chased me.' He recalled how the bunny leader had other bunnies to help it fight.

After a while, he helped Martha with her own. Although Lucas wasn't fully in support of making her look younger so soon, there was nothing he could do. Especially when Martha saw how Grey's grandfather looked.

When he was done with that, his grandfather took him to the place he promised.

Lucas wanted to follow, but Grey's grandfather debunked him, and he was forced to stay back with his wife.

Grey's grandfather took him out of the region completely. The duo arrived at a secluded mountain.

Grey's grandfather made a few hand seals and a passage opened. Grey followed his grandfather into the passage. To be honest, he didn't even sense any passage there, only after his grandfather made the seals did he sense it.

The duo walked through a long passageway, and after a few minutes, they arrived on the other side of the passage.

Grey was left stunned when he saw the place. It was almost like he had been taken to a paradise.

"Amazing."
