Lightning Is the Only Way

No one noticed that Gravis had gone. Even if there had been an Immortal King watching over him, they wouldn't even have realized that he had left. It was like reality had been changed as if Gravis had never been there, to begin with.

SHING!

Gravis reappeared at a different spot, and he immediately felt some vertigo as his body shook a little bit. 'Shit! The sensation of spatial displacement has never been this intense before. This probably means that I have teleported an insanely long distance.'

"Welcome, Senior Brother!" the excited voice of a kid appeared.

Gravis shook his head a bit to regain his bearings as he looked at the speaker.

It was a ten-year-old boy in the Spirit Forming Realm. He looked excited like a little kid as he looked at Gravis with widely opened eyes.

"Oh, sorry," Gravis said. "I'm not your Senior Brother."

"You're not?" the young boy asked with shock. "But you are here. Everyone is part of my family here!"

Gravis looked around and noticed that the boy was not the only person here.

Around a hundred different people were all looking at Gravis with different expressions. Most of them looked at him with excitement and shock, but the more powerful ones had different expressions.

The young and weak beings looked at Gravis with wonder and excitement, while the older and more powerful ones looked at him with a bit of confusion, hesitation, and skepticism.

Beings?

Yes, there were not only humans here. Gravis could also see that there were a lot of young beasts. Normal humans might not be able to see the subtle differences of age among beasts, but Gravis had lived among beasts for over a thousand years. He could tell that a lot of them were very young.

"Why have you come here?" an Early Minor Circulation Immortal King asked Gravis with furrowed brows. Yes, even Immortal Kings were here. There were even several beings with powers so great that Gravis couldn't even judge their power.

Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors were experienced enough to feel the subtle differences between Gravis and the normal new members of their family.

The new members always radiated a subtle feeling of isolation.

Gravis radiated a feeling of mature harmony with the world, which meant that he was relatively secure in his life without any significant emotional problems.

The new members always had slightly more powerful Will-Auras than normal, but Gravis' Will-Aura was just far too powerful. Someone with such an insanely powerful Will-Aura for their Realm would not join their family. Someone like that could easily take care of themselves and would count as a valuable genius among the outside world.

The new members always had average or slightly above average Battle-Strength.
