Lightning Is the Only Way
Chapter 290
Gravis had regained his calm by now. "You know what?" Gravis asked. "You're right."
Joyce was taken aback by the sudden surrender. Wasn't Gravis supposed to defend his point some more?
Gravis looked away and started scratching his chin in thought. "Though, not completely. I have to concede that you are right in the sense that my distant coldness is a choice, but that hasn't always been the case. Before I reached the Spirit Forming Realm, my coldness wasn't a choice but a necessity. Yet, you are right that it is wrong when I say that I have no control over my coldness in my current situation."
Joyce furrowed her brows. "What do you mean?"
Gravis turned back to her. "Do you remember how I told you that it was important that you gave me the Formation Array in an equal trade?"
Joyce nodded.
"That was because Heaven is my enemy, and it tried to force me into isolation. It killed everyone I came close to. In comparison to your way of tempering, this wasn't something like a chance of dying or tempering. In my case, it was a definite death sentence."
Joyce looked with skepticism at Gravis. "Quite a bold claim, but how are you still alive if Heaven was your enemy? After all, it could just strike you down."
Gravis sighed because he knew that this would take a while to explain. "I'm not from this world."
Joyce's eyes widened. "What do you mean?"
After that, Gravis told Joyce about how he came from a higher world and that his father had a huge enmity with Heaven. This had implicated him, and the Heaven of this lower world had tried everything to kill him or stop him from cultivating. He didn't describe the concept of Karmic Luck and only said that Heaven would kill everyone he came close to. After all, that wasn't a lie. He also told her that it was his father that stopped Heaven from directly annihilating him.
