Lightning Is the Only Way

"Stop!" Gravis shouted, out of breath.

"What's up?" Stella asked, equally out of breath.

"I need to do something else," Gravis said. "I can't do this all the time!"

Stella looked with a sad expression at Gravis. "Do you not enjoy it?"

Gravis' inner fire was immediately stocked again after seeing her cute expression, but he kept himself in check.

"No, that's definitely not it!" he nearly shouted. "I love you, and I definitely enjoy my time with you, but I also have to think of my Cultivation."

Stella's brows furrowed. "Hey, don't act like I'm not handing you any Laws right here."

Gravis nodded quickly. "Yes, I know, but that's not it. Mortis is already finished with the Soft Pure Law, and he has been for the last 2,000 years. He already contacted me and told me that he will focus on the Body Composition Laws."

"When I heard that, I've focused on comprehending your Body Composition Laws, and I already made a lot of progress, but I can't only focus on your Laws. Yes, your two level five Laws of Punishment Inferno and Frostfire are still immensely useful for me, but what after that? I need to set up my plan for the future," Gravis explained.

Stella frowned. "You're talking like you're only with me for my Laws."

Gravis' insides immediately shook in nervousness. "No, no!" Gravis quickly said nervously. "I'm not-"

However, Gravis stopped when he saw Stella giggling.

Then, Gravis sighed and also had to laugh at himself.

"I understand, Gravis," Stella said as she summoned a new set of robes. At the same time, she was also fixing Gravis' hair so that he didn't look so disheveled.

Gravis also summoned a new shirt and pants.

"So, you finally are ready to build the Gravitas Trading Firm, huh?" Stella asked.

Gravis nodded. "Yes, I've wanted to do that for a really long time by now."

Yes, this was Gravis' grand plan that he had come up with so many years ago.

Gravis needed resources and access to Law Comprehension Areas if he wanted to become more powerful. Having a home would also help.

So, Gravis decided to create something that he was uniquely qualified for.

A trading hub between beasts and humans.
