Lightning Is the Only Way

It was apparent who these two were.

Gravis' father and the highest Heaven.

However, when Gravis heard that his father managed to come out of such a gate alive, Gravis felt some excitement.

It was inevitable that Gravis compared himself to his father. After all, Gravis had no one else he could compare himself with.

The normal Cultivators were not even close to his level anymore. So, he couldn't compare himself to them.

This only leaves the Heaven's Magnates, his father, and the Heavens.

Gravis had only met one Heaven's Magnate before, which was the Black Magnate, but he hadn't heard anything of his past. The lives of the Heaven's Magnates were still a mystery to Gravis, which basically made it impossible for him to compare himself to them. One can't compare oneself to something that one knew nothing about.

That left his father and the Heavens.

However, the Heavens had received their incredible powers via a special inheritance area for new Heavens. Additionally, the Heavens didn't have a finite lifespan. With an infinite amount of time, even a pig would eventually become a God.

This only left Gravis' father.

His father was the only being Gravis knew that had managed to achieve his level without any of these advantages. The Heaven's Magnates probably also achieved something like that without such advantages, but Gravis simply didn't know them.

Because of that, Gravis always felt a slight feeling of rivalry with his father. They weren't enemies or opponents, but Gravis wanted to at least keep up with his father. Achieving something like that was already more than difficult.

Gravis wanted to enter the gate.

Stella and Arc looked at Gravis, and they both knew what he was thinking.

"Gravis," Stella said as she pulled his arm. "Don't do it. We've just reunited, and I don't want to lose you again."

Gravis closed his eyes and sighed. "Sorry," he said as he looked at Stella.

Right now, Gravis felt a horrible feeling of guilt.

Tempering was one thing, but entering this gate would be suicide.

For a second there, Gravis had completely forgotten Stella while evaluating if he should enter the gate or not.

"I forgot that I'm not living only for myself anymore," Gravis said as he embraced Stella. "Don't worry, I won't enter the gate blindly. I will only enter when I am certain that I will survive, and right now, I can't be certain of that."

Some tears appeared in Stella's eyes, but at the same time, she also felt guilty.

Without her, Gravis would have entered this gate, and he might have comprehended something supremely powerful.

Yet, Gravis had been willing to throw this chance away so that he wouldn't need to leave her.
