Chapter 291

“By the way, there is one thing that | am confused about," Gravis said."Yes?" Joyce asked.

"You saw that | had had a Will-Aura in the Body Tempering Realm, so why did you help me? You should've known about theHeaven Sect's ways," Gravis asked.

Joyce sighed. "Well, to be honest, | never expected you to pay me back."Gravis lifted an eyebrow. "You didn't?"

Joyce shook her head. "| was sure that the Heaven Sect would kill you. The only reason | helped you was that | felt bad for you.Such a fate seemed too tragic in my eyes. But hey, good thing it didn't come true!"

Gravis smiled. "It sure is. So, anyway, the whole resource war thing is a no-go?" he asked.Joyce showed an uncomfortable look. "Well, not completely.""How come? Your teacher said that you never intended to partake in the war this year," Gravis asked.

"It's not that | decided against it, but that my father and teacher decided against it," Joyce explained. "My will is already verypowerful, and the resource war has a 90% death-rate. They said that the risk is too high for me. If | had a weaker Will-Aura, theywould've let me go, but my will is already powerful enough. Only a little bit more, and my will would be powerful enough toascend. They said that | don't need to go through such a risky adventure. Safety is more important.”

Gravis lifted a brow. "Depends on what your goal is."Joyce looked with confusion at Gravis. "Obviously, my goal is to become powerful.""Yeah, but how powerful exactly?” Gravis asked.

Joyce furrowed her brows. She hadn't thought about this before. The highest power that everyone in this lower world knew wasthe power of an ascender. They knew nothing about the path after that, so they also couldn't imagine how it would be in thehigher worlds. Many people even believed that ascenders would ascend to the kingdom of God and live forever while watchingover this world.

"Could you tell me more about higher worlds?" Joyce asked.

Gravis shrugged. "Sure. The world that ascenders go to is basically the same as this one, but with a higher power ceiling.Imagine an even lower world where there are so few resources that people would take over 50 years to reach the MagicGathering Realm. Not many people are able to reach that Realm in that world due to the resources, but when they do, theyappear in this world, as Magic Gathering Realm cultivators."

“Basically, as soon as you ascend to the next world, you can't be considered as being at the bottom, but you also can't beconsidered to be powerful. You basically get flung into a world while being at the lower-middle of the world's power," Gravisexplained.

Joyce looked at the floor in uncertainty. "So, the higher world is no different from our world? There are still fights for resourcesand life and death tempering?"

Gravis nodded. "Exactly. The only difference is that you live longer and see a bigger mountain and higher Heaven in front of you.It's like when the strongest person of an isolated village goes to a town for the first time, thinking that they are mighty only to bebeaten up by basic guards."

Joyce sighed. "And every other person in your Realm has also managed to ascend from their world, and therefore, could all beconsidered geniuses."

Gravis nodded. "Yes. The higher world only gives you the opportunity to see a new goal for your power. It isn't easier or morepeaceful, but only crueler. Imagine the destruction that two fighting people at the Unity Realm would cause to the surroundings.The mortals have it even worse in the higher world than here since any random fight in their vicinity could annihilate them."

Joyce wasn't happy right now. She had thought that the next world would be kinder. After all, everyone had already reached theUnity Realm, so why would there even be a reason for fighting? Yet, she hadn't thought about the fact that there could be moreRealms after the Unity Realm.

"Why does the world have to be so cruel?" Joyce asked herself more than Gravis."Because Heaven wants Energy," Gravis said.Joyce was a little taken aback. "Heaven wants Energy?"

Gravis nodded. "| don't know the specifics, and | can't tell you everything | know about this, but Heaven wants powerful humans.The more powerful the human, the better."

Joyce sighed. "Is there ever an end to that?"

"Yes," Gravis said, surprising Joyce again. She hadn't expected that Gravis had an answer to such a profound and mysticalquestion. "There is the highest world with the highest Heaven that has created every other world. If you manage to reach thepeak there, only two beings are more powerful than you, and both of them don't care about you and basically let you do what youwant."novelbin

Joyce looked with widely opened eyes at Gravis. She was absorbing the knowledge like a dry sponge. To her, it felt like thesecrets of the universe were revealed before her eyes. "Two beings?"

Gravis nodded. "One is the highest Heaven, and the other is the Opposer, the strongest human who has the same power as thehighest Heaven.”

Joyce looked with wonder at Gravis. "A human with power equal to the highest Heaven? Do these two beings rule over thehighest world?" She asked.

Gravis laughed dryly. "The opposite.They absolutely despise each otherand fight regularly, but only the weaksuffer from these ion!know. epeakcpovle rarely getinvolve . There are exceptions, ofcourse, for example, when Heavenschemes against the Opposerdirectly, but as far as | heard, thosesituations only happen, at most,every couple of million years, and thelast one only happened about twoyears ago.’ The content is onNovelDrama.Org!

Joyce furrowed her brows. "How do you know that? You've been here for three years, so how could you know what happenedtwo years ago?"

Gravis noticed that he forgot to explain something. "Oh, it's two years in the time of my homeworld. There is a huge time dilationbetween my homeworld and this world. While | have stayed three years in this world, only about a day has passed in myhomeworld. If | were to calculate according to the time of this world, the incident happened about two thousand years ago."

Joyce couldn't completely wrap her head around these numbers. Millions of years between fights? It was possible to live for thatlong? Did their world even exist for a million years? She had no idea! No one knew how old the world was.

"So, how strong do you want tobecome?" Gravis asked again. "If youonly want to have a nice life, | wouldsuggest to stop cultivating at theTree Stage. Your wikig already) m1ppwerfiilenbughi to reach that. Likethis, you only need to wait to becomeone of the strongest people in thisworld. You can live in relativefreedom and have enough power toprotect those dear to you. Because, ifyou ascend, you are weak again, andyour survival can be decided bythousands or millions of cultivatorsmore powerful than you." Thecontent is on NovelDrama.Org!

Joyce remained quiet as she thoughtabout this. This was a serious choice,and she finally had enoughknowledge to mak Rinfarnaed |sion Gravis er about howher journey would eventually go inthe higher world and what wouldawait her.

Joyce thought for a full minute about her decision while Gravis remained silent.

"| can't stop now," Joyce said with motivation. "My brothers and sisters gave their lives to pave my path forward, and no matterhow difficult it will become, | must continue, until the bitter end." Joyce took a shaky breath. "Even if | will be in pain for thousandsof years."

Gravis smirked. "Alright, then you must never stop going forward. Everyone else in the lower worlds only sees the ascension andonly temper themselves up to that point. You have the advantage of knowledge, so you know that any tempering you do nowwon't go to waste. Never stop tempering, and always remain ahead of the curve. Only like this can you become powerful."

Joyce heard this and wholeheartedly agreed. "Yes!"

“We will partake in the resource war, no matter what my teacher or father say!"
