Lightning Is the Only Way

Heaven looked at Gravis evenly. Gravis had managed to enrage Heaven once, and it won't let it happen again, no matter what Gravis said or did.

"You must follow the cultivation path of your father," Heaven said.

"You mean being away from everyone else and avoiding any kind of contact?" Gravis said with a huff. "I thought my path was supposed to be muddled and not pure."

"This is not what I was talking about," Heaven said. "Your path to power must be muddled, but that doesn't mean that you can't follow your father's steps. I was referring to something else."

Gravis only looked at Heaven with skepticism.

"Your father has become an Immortal at the age of 9.950," Heaven said. "Do you believe that he has only become an Immortal that late because he couldn't have become an Immortal sooner?"

"No," Gravis answered. "You have already said that father has had enough power to rival you back then."

"Correct," Heaven said. "He has taken the cultivation path of an Ancient Cultivator."

"And that is supposed to mean what exactly?" Gravis asked evenly.

"This is the same path that Meadow has chosen," Heaven said. "Your father only advanced to the next Realm when there was either no more time or nothing more to learn. If you had followed this path yourself, we wouldn't be talking right now."

"You have cultivated for a bit more than 1.300 years. Achieving your level of Law Comprehension in that short amount of time is impressive, but only when viewed from an average point of view. If you had spent another 8.000 years comprehending Laws, do you think you would still be as helpless in front of me as you are now?"

"No," Gravis said. "If I had spent such a long time comprehending Laws, I would have already comprehended several level four Laws. Of course, that is only counting if I actually have a tempering opportunity. I can comprehend level three Laws without tempering, but I can't comprehend level four Laws without tempering."

"Correct," Heaven said. "With your talent and with so much time, you would have been able to become powerful enough to rival me. Yet, your impatience and your lacking mindset would have destroyed you. If I had been weaker, you would have consumed me, learned the level six Law of Divine Lightning, and would have used that Law for your Avatar. That is what you had planned, right?"
