Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis nodded. "Yes, please tell me more," he said with interest. Finally, he would know more about his homeworld.

The Opposer drank more of his coffee. "You are currently inside Opposer City. Pretty straightforward name, isn't it?" His father said with a smirk.

Gravis had never heard the name of his home city, but it actually made sense. Still, Gravis looked at his father with a complicated expression.

"Hey, don't look at me like that," his father said. "I wasn't the one who gave the city its name. No one actually intended to build this city. It just grew out of nowhere, and the name stuck. I'm a big Energy magnet, so my surroundings are the densest in regard to Energy. Therefore, a lot of people started building their own homes around ours."

'Opposer city, what a simple name,' Gravis thought with a smirk.

"Anyway, Opposer City is located in the Central Plains. As the name suggests, this is the middle of the entire world. Nearly all of the Peak Sects are located in these plains, and you can find the absolute elite of cultivators and beasts here," his father explained.

"You could compare it to the Core-Continent in your lower world. Yet, the Central Plains are much, much vaster than the entire lower world. To put it into perspective, the Central Plains are many times bigger than thousands of lower worlds combined."

"Thousands of lower worlds?" Gravis asked with shock. "The Central Plains are that huge?"

The Opposer nodded. "Similar to your lower world, the further away you go from the center, the less Energy there is. There are no barriers or anything significant between the areas, and the Energy doesn't just get cut off. It simply becomes less and less."

"You could liken the highest world to an onion. We are inside the core, but the further out you go, the more layers you will see. Just like in your lower world, the further out you go, the bigger the areas get."

"The areas outside are bigger than the Central Plains?" Gravis asked.

The Opposer nodded. "Yes. The massive size of the highest world can't be compared to any other world. The highest world has existed for the longest time, so it also had the most time to expand. On top of that, it also has, by far, the most Energy, so its expansion is also more rapid."

The Opposer scratched his chin in thought. "You could say that all other worlds combined are about just as big as the highest world."

Opposer nodded again. "Yes, but that's just how vast the highest world is. The grass outside the city, for example, is the most powerful common grass that you can find. It doesn't even have Spirituality and, therefore, can also not be
