Lightning Is the Only Way

For the first time, Gravis could appreciate the true size of the city. It was absolutely massive.

Gravis turned his gaze to the Sky Community, and what he felt shocked him even more.

His Spirit couldn't even reach the highest point!

Gravis' Spirit Sense had been absolutely humongous in the middle world, but it was suppressed in the highest world. Yet, his Spirit could still see around 150,000 kilometers into the distance, but even at such a height, a ton of people were still moving around erratically. The Sky Community was absolutely packed with people.

Yersi and Orthar were also shocked by the number of buildings and people flying around. They had never seen so many living beings in one place before.

Gravis' mother noticed their shocked expressions and had to giggle a little. "Do you want to know the actually surprising part?" she asked.

"Tell me," Orthar said, but then he remembered something. "Please," he added. Humans used please and thanks a lot, and he had to adapt to that way of talking, even if it felt unnatural.

"Nearly every person you can see on the streets are either below the Immortal Realm or beggars," she said. "You actually can't see the true inhabitants."

The three of them looked at the packed streets. Yet, over half of the people were still teleporting around. Additionally, as they looked closer, they saw that Gravis' mother was right. There were a ton of people below the Immortal Realm.

How was this possible? All of these teleporting people were beggars? Then, where were the actual inhabitants?

Everyone looked at Gravis' mother with curious eyes, and she enjoyed the feeling of telling someone else about her home city.

"The actual inhabitants teleport from building to building," she said. "They don't even go into the streets. As long as you have a registered home in the city, you are allowed to directly teleport into public buildings and teleport back into your home."

"In actuality, the number of beggars in comparison to inhabitants is one to 10,000," she said.

The three of them looked in shock at the streets. Not even Gravis had known that. They could already see tens of millions of beggars. Did this mean that this city had over a hundred billion people!?

Where would they even all fit!? Immortals needed some space, and they wouldn't be fine with just some square meters of living space.

"I already know your next question," Gravis' mother said. "Look over there," she said as she guided their senses to an inconspicuous building. It was a one-story tall, normal-looking house.
