Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis had practically been startled out of his Cultivation. After all, even while comprehending Laws, all his powers were active. His Laws of Danger and Safety were active, and his Spirit would also pick up if anyone came close to him.

Because of that, Gravis had been startled. This person in front of him had practically appeared out of nowhere.

Gravis couldn't feel the power of the person in front of him, so he decided to investigate the young man closely with his Spirit.

Mortal.

Gravis lifted an eyebrow when he noticed that this was a mortal. He had nearly no Energy, nearly no Life Energy, no Will-Aura, and his body was weak. Gravis could also feel the Spirit of this man, but it was so weak that it couldn't even interact with anything. This meant that his Spirit hadn't been formed yet.

This was a true mortal. Not even a single part of his body had been tempered.

Now that Gravis calmed down, he also noticed the disheveled appearance of the man. His skin was an unhealthy red, and he breathed quickly. Several parts of his body were injured, and he even had a broken rib. Additionally, parts of his body had started to freeze.

Where was Gravis right now?

Gravis was on top of a mountain that was nearly ten kilometers tall. For Cultivators, climbing such a mountain wasn't hard, but for a mortal, it was nearly impossible. The air up here was extremely thin, and the temperatures were far below freezing.

Judging by the mortal's appearance, he wouldn't survive the climb down. He would soon enter the last stages before hypothermia.

Seeing that Gravis didn't respond to his greeting, the young man became more nervous. He had come here with a goal in mind, and he had planned thousands of times on how he should plead his case.

However, as soon as the God in front of him opened his eyes, all the young man's plans vanished. The cold seemingly stopped existing, and his body stopped aching. It was like he was no longer in the real world and was pulled inside the world of this God.

This was a God!

A being of legend!

He was standing in front of something that shouldn't exist in this world!

The mortal's body started to shake, but not because of the cold. His body shook because of his emotions.

Fear, reverence, happiness, nervousness, hope.

Plomp!

The mortal fell onto his knees and nearly rammed his head into the cold mountain-stone. His knees and arms started bleeding heavily due to the impact.

"Please!" the mortal shouted with all his power, his voice sounding incredibly hoarse. "Take revenge for my family!"

'Revenge, huh?' Gravis thought.
