Lightning Is the Only Way

Chapter 706

The Opposer checked the middle world again."Calling him Old Man Lightning is inappropriate at this point,” the Opposer said."Why?" Gravis asked.

"The more he progressed on the path to power, the younger he felt. He left his old man appearance and mindset behind. Rightnow, he is acting like an excited teenager with a lot of Energy. You should refer to him by his actual name, Dorian," the Opposersaid.

"Oh? So he's still alive?" Gravis asked.

The Opposer nodded. "He's making great progress in the Laws. He abandoned his pure path of lightning and condensed anAvatar of the Minor Law of the Elements. He is also fighting and challenging a lot of other Cultivators."

Gravis had to smile when he heard that. "That's quite a powerful level three Law," Gravis said.The Opposer nodded.

Gravis also knew this Law. This was the Law that allowed him to use all the elements, and it required the understanding of a tonof Laws. This was one of the major components of the Law of the Dead World. With this Law as an Avatar, Dorian could unleashnine elements, each with the power of a level three Law.

Additionally, Dorian was probably focusing on the same path as Gravis, understanding all the elemental level three Laws. Gravisfound it funny that their paths were so similar.

"What about Joyce?" Gravis asked.

Yet, when he asked the question, Gravis felt unsure. He still remembered his promise to Joyce, but he wasn't certain if sheactually cared about the promise. In addition, Gravis still remembered the feelings he had for Joyce. Because of that, he still felta longing for her.

The Opposer checked again.

"She changed," he said.

"That means she's still alive, right?" Gravis asked.

The Opposer nodded, making Gravis release a sigh of relief.

“Her surroundings, and especially you, have changed her mindset,” the Opposer explained.

"Can you elaborate?" Gravis asked.

"I'll show you," he said.

Whooosh!

Aglimmer appeared at Gravis’ side, and a woman appeared.

Gravis immediately noticed that this was only an image, but the image perfectly demonstrated Joyce, including her aura.

Joyce looked like a young woman with purple hair that nearly reached the floor, but she seemingly glared coldly at everything.Gravis also felt her Will-Aura, and he was taken aback. Her Will-Aura was really powerful!

"She is like my past self, the Black Magnate's past self, and your past self," the Opposer said. "She has completely suppressedher emotions and violently chases power."

Gravis sighed when he heard that. "Just like | have been in the lower world," he commented."Yes," the Opposer said."Does that mean that she also has an illusion of happiness based on power?" Gravis asked.

"Correct," the Opposer said. "She believes that emotions are a weakness and that she needs to reach the highest world tobecome powerful. She saw how you have been in the lower world and completely emulates your mindset from back then.Therefore, she also believes that this is the only path to power."

"In her mind, you are the perfect Cultivator and the perfect man. She chases power to reunite with you, believing that this willmake her feel happy," he said.

Gravis didn't like what he heard one bit. After such a long time of nothing but cold slaughter, would she still even be able to feelanything but greed for power? Without knowing, she was chasing an empty goal, just like the Black Magnate.

Gravis knew how this would go. They would meet again, and Joyce would look at Gravis. At first, she would be surprised thatshe wasn't feeling anything when she saw him. Then, she would be confronted with her goal and would need to reevaluate herlife.

After that, she would realize that the Gravis she was speaking to was no longer the Gravis from back then. The person she waschasing no longer existed. It would be no different from chasing a dead person.

Gravis felt a heavy feeling of guilt. His unhealthy conduct from back then had infected Joyce, changing her path tremendously.Sadly, there was nothing he could do.

He only hoped that she would be able to deal with the tribulation when they met again.

“What about Skye?" Gravis asked.

The Opposer also remembered that one bird and checked the timestream of Skye's middle world."Oh?" the Opposer said with some interest and even surprise.

Gravis was taken aback. His father was surprised about something? That happened only very rarely!"What is it?" Gravis asked.

"The bird is still alive," the Opposer said, banishing Gravis’ anxiety, "and she's doing well."

“Really well," he said.

"| take it that Skye has become really powerful?" Gravis asked.

"Hm," the Opposer hummed. "Not exactly, but there is something else. In terms of Battle-Strength, she is only slightly behindJoyce, but she has something else."

"The bird managed to understand the Low-Rank Law of Freedom and Suppression," the Opposer said.

Now, Gravis was also taken aback. The Low-Rank Law of Freedom and Suppression were level two Laws. Gravis knew the levelfour variants of these Laws but knowing the initial Laws was already very impressive.

With these two Laws, Skye already managed to get a foot in the door of the hardest Situational Laws. This meant that she hadthe talent to become a Heaven's Magnate in the future.

Sure, Joyce might be more powerful currently, but Skye had already taken two very difficult steps towards the peak of power.

After some seconds, Gravis had to laugh loudly. "Skye is so similar to me!" he shouted while laughing. "She also knows the Lawof Freedom! This is really great!"

The Opposer nodded. "I would also count it as impressive."

Gravis thought back to when he had met Skye for the first time. Back then, Gravis had fought Skye to test his new powers, butthey had been interrupted by the Lightning Guild and Fire Guild. After that, they had stayed together, and Skye had becomeGravis’ first real friend in the lower world.

Now, Gravis no longer feared that he and Skye had drifted apart. They both chased freedom, and such like-minded spirits couldalways get along.

‘Manuel, Dorian, Joyce, and Skye are still alive," Gravis thought. 'This is already better than | would have thought. There's a highchance that | will meet them again, and I'm already looking forward to it."

"Thank you, father," Gravis said. "How about my friends from the middle world?"“Who was that again?" he asked.“Azure, Styr, Ferris, and Meadow," Gravis said.

This was more recent, and Gravis had spent around a thousand years with them. Because of that, the Opposer remembered allof them.

"They are all still alive," the Opposer said. "Azure, Styr, and Ferris entered a higher world where they counted among the beastswith the most powerful Battle-Strength. Thus, there is a high likelihood for all of them to reach the highest world."

"Meadow is probably still in the middle world, right?" Gravis asked with a smile. All his friends from the middle world were stillalive. That was great!

"Yes," the Opposer said. "Her choice of nearly using up her longevity is a smart one. When she reaches the age of 100,000years, she will comprehend a level four Law, and she will probably also use that Law as an Avatar. Her Battle-Strength is themost powerful out of all your friends, by far."

Gravis nodded. Meadow was really powerful.“Are Azure and Styr still together?” he asked.

"Yes," the Opposer answered. "They don't interfere with the other's tempering but protect the other from situations that would killone of them. Their strategy for cultivation is also impressive."

"What's Ferris doing?" Gravis asked as he leaned back with a smile.

"He is following someone around, who is very confused by this," the Opposer answered. "It's a black snake, and Ferris justkeeps following it. The snake seems really confused by this since it wants to be left alone, but it also feels like it shouldn'tabandon Ferris."

"The snake appears cold andheartless on the outside, but itactually has a warm heart eepry)inside. Wsnale aie very smartafid'calculating. These two things arethe reason why Ferris is following thesnake. Ferris knows that the snakeknows better what to do and followsits suggestions," the Opposer said.The content is on NovelDrama.Org!Read the latest chapter there!

Gravis could very well imagine that scene, and it made him laugh. Ferris’ simple and trusting personality was the perfect counterfor scheming but inwardly friendly beings.

"What about the Inferno Emperor?" Gravis asked.

"Do you want to fight him?" the Opposer asked.

Gravis smiled and shook his head. "To be honest, when | saw him ascend, | had made the plan to get a lot of money in thehighest world to buy a portal to his world and kill him. That was the initial reason why | even considered making money."

"But | don't think that he is importantenough," Gravis said. "He might thinkof me as importan Yt donipthinkunr ag impofah Chasing oldgrudges to such a length seems likea waste of time. When | get theopportunity to kill him, I'll take it, but |won't chase him like this." Thecontent is on NovelDrama.Org! Readthe latest chapter there!

"Also," Gravis said, "with his mindset, he probably knows far fewer Laws than me, but his Realm is probably already far too high.His Battle-Strength might have become average, but his Realm is probably unbeatable for me."

"Quite a good evaluation, Gravis," the Opposer said. "He is violently chasing power, killing and consuming one beast after theother until he became an Immortal King. This gave him enough leeway for when you appear in his world. Right now, he iscomprehending Laws."

"Immortal King, huh?" Gravis commented. "That's really fast. Sure enough, with that much power, he would only need to sneezeat me to kill me."

Gravis put the empty cup of coffee down."Now, what about Aris and Cera?" Gravis asked.

"Only around 2,000 years havepassed for them," the Opposer said."They are still in the LawComprehension Regn Vouradviveofundetstshding as many Laws aspossible has helped them.

Gravis released a huge sigh of relief. Gravis had a ton of friends, but his children were by far the most important to him. Hearingthat they were doing well made Gravis feel an incredible feeling of relief.

It was like a ton of pressure had vanished from his shoulders.

"That's good," Gravis said. "I'm so relieved. You actually can't believe how relieved | am."

"Yes, | can," the Opposer said. "Because that's also how | felt when you ate the middle Heaven's Avatar."

Gravis smiled brightly. "Then, that's also good. Thanks, father," he said.

"No problem," the Opposer answered, and for once, he was also smiling, a truly rare sight.

“Well then," Gravis said as he stood up. "Now that | have seen the progress of my friends and family, | don't want to feel leftbehind! It's time to fully concentrate on my Laws!"

“Let's see how long you will take," the Opposer said.Gravis smirked. "We'll see."And then, he was gone again.

He wanted to share the happy news with his daughter!
