Lightning Is the Only Way

Jake almost couldn't believe that one of the legendary Heaven's Magnates stood right before him. Just some years ago, Jake didn't even know that they existed, but now, one of them was standing right in front of him.

Yet, as time passed, Jake noticed that the Black Magnate was also just a guy. He talked like everyone else, and he also started some conversations with Jake. After talking with him for a while, Jake noticed that he was simply another Cultivator, just more powerful.

Oftentimes, people put someone's grand accomplishments above the person, attributing a near divine-like status to that person, even though that person just casually talked with everyone like everyone else. Their accomplishments were not their being but something they did, like any other hobby from any other person.

After some days, most of the people scattered again. Gravis spent more time with Orpheus, Yersi, and Jake since he didn't need to comprehend any Laws anymore until he left. Comprehending some Laws for a bit more than a century was unnecessary since he wouldn't gain anything good out of it anyway.

Gravis was already done with the elements for now. Sure, there also were attributes of the other elements that didn't involve their Composition, but they were the last Laws Gravis needed.

The only thing that Gravis could theoretically comprehend in maybe a hundred years were the Laws of Extreme Heat and Extreme Cold. Yet, after a short talk with Jake, that also fell through.

Apparently, there were no level three Laws for Heat and Cold. The level two Laws of Heat and Cold culminated in the level three Law of Temperatures, and the next level would be the level four Laws of Heat and Cold, which would then culminate in the level five Laws of Temperatures again. Understanding another level four Law in such a short period of time would be impossible.

Yersi had comprehended the level two Laws of Heat and Cold already, and her next stop would be the level three Law of Temperatures, which would then act as her Avatar. Yet, Yersi decided against comprehending this Law for now since she wanted to spend as much time with her father as possible. After all, there was a chance that she would never see her father again after he left.

An Immortal Emperor had a longevity of 200,000 years, and if Gravis reached that in the higher world, 20,000 years would have passed in the highest world. Sure, Yersi would still have 30,000 years left at that point, but Gravis also told Yersi that he would not return until he killed the higher Heaven.
