Lightning Is the Only Way

Chapter 292

"I meant to ask, but what is this resource war even? I have not heard anything specific about it," Gravis said. "It seems to be quite a big deal with what everyone has said so far."

Joyce was quite surprised. "You don't know what the resource war is about? Then why did you intend to help me?"

Gravis shrugged. "Lasar said that when I return to repay my debt, asking for my help in the resource war would be the likeliest scenario. It also plays perfectly into the old man's plan that I take part in it. Apparently, I am safe from the Heaven Sect in that period."

Joyce looked with confusion at Gravis. "Old man?"

"Old Man Lightning. That's what everyone calls him," Gravis explained.

"Oh, yes. I should've known that you meant him," Joyce said. "The resource war is not a traditional war. In actuality, calling it a war is pretty inaccurate since we won't be fighting against other groups."

"Oh?" Gravis asked with interest.

"Yes. We will go through many different trials," she explained.

"Trials? Who decides these trials?" Gravis asked suspiciously.

Joyce was first confused at the question but then realized that Gravis didn't even know the basics. "A couple of thousand years ago, an incredibly wealthy ascendent created an inheritance for the worthy. As soon as he reached the Unity Realm, he started building this massive area full of trials and treasures. He was also an unprecedented master in Formation Arrays. With all of this, he created an inheritance. Of course, he doesn't want to give his wealth to everybody, but only to those who manage to pass his trials."

Gravis furrowed his brows. A suspicion slowly rose inside his mind. "And ever since then, the inheritance opened every ten years?"

Joyce nodded. "Exactly!"

"And the winners always got some treasures out of this inheritance?" Gravis asked.
