Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis had shouted for Heaven to fight him, but nothing happened. After some seconds of nothing happening, Gravis narrowed his eyes. "You don't want to fight?" Gravis asked.

Of course, no answer came.

Gravis scratched his chin. 'I guess that's also a possibility. Heaven doesn't really need to fight me. It's not obligated to fight with a cultivator. Well, then I just need to make it fight me,' Gravis thought with a smirk.

"Heaven! You are allowed to strike me down with anything you have! I hereby allow you to kill me!" Gravis shouted.

The world remained silent.

'That proves it. It's afraid of fighting me. It might be stronger than the High Priest, but not by much. My immunity to lightning and my powerful centers of power are probably powerful enough to take it down. My will is probably also strong enough to resist anything it throws at me. It knows that it's going to lose if it engages me,' Gravis thought.

'Well, if a wanderer can't reach a mountain, the wanderer just has to make the mountain move to him,' Gravis thought.

Gravis strengthened his Spirit with everything he got. His Spirit encompassed everything, including a big chunk of the Outer-Continent. Then, he built a connection with every person inside his Spirit's range.

"I am Gravis," he spoke, his voice echoing inside every human's mind. Every person, be it mortal or cultivator, heard his voice inside their minds. The mortals, unknowing about cultivation, looked at each other in confusion to confirm if the person beside them also heard that voice.

"I have reached the highest Realm in this world, and I am able to ascend to the next world. Yet, Heaven has used everything in its power to kill me. Unfortunately, it failed every time. Now, after killing its High Priest, I asked it to fight me, but it doesn't react!" Gravis' voice sounded angry.

"It created the Heaven Sect and the Heavenborn to enforce its will and control over this world. It doesn't allow any cultivator at the Body Tempering Realm with a Will-Aura to survive. It restricts the freedom of the cultivators! Yet, as soon as someone appears that can fight it, it hides inside its corner like a scared little rat!"

"Look at how worthless this Heaven is! I am here, proclaiming my power to the world and telling everyone how useless and scared it is, but look at it! It doesn't dare to say anything against me! It's happy and comfortable in suppressing the weak, but as soon as someone strong appears, it acts like nothing in this world concerns it!"

Most of the mortals realized what was happening by now, but what was Heaven? Heaven was the most powerful being in this world and their God. Hearing a voice that insulted their God inside their mind made them panic in fear.
