Gravis felt great when he realized that he had comprehended the level five Law of Humility directly. Comprehending the apathetic part of the Law of Humility wasn't hard at all since acting like this was very similar to how Gravis had acted when he was younger.

Back then, Gravis wasn't all about comprehending Laws but was all about killing his enemies. He didn't really demonstrate his power to make his enemies go all out but took full advantage of the fact that they were underestimating him.

So, the apathetic part came naturally to him.

However, the empathetic part would be something completely different.

Gravis would never act like he had acted in the Heaven's Trial.

Gravis always took the initiative and dealt with problems directly.

Why?

Because he had the power to do so and because it was necessary to jump into danger to become powerful.

In the Heaven's Trial near the end, Gravis had acted like a pushover that never attacked anyone. Additionally, he had always changed sides as soon as a stronger party arrived.

In short, Gravis had acted like a traitorous, opportunistic turncoat.

Acting like this went completely against Gravis' philosophy, which put a lot of emphasis on fairness, honesty, and loyalty.

Comprehending the empathetic aspect of the Law of Humility might have either been impossible or would have taken an insanely long time under normal circumstances.

"I truly have to thank you, Arc," Gravis repeated again. "I don't know how long it would have taken me to comprehend the level five Law of Humility otherwise."

"I know," Arc answered with a smirk. "That's why I modified the Heaven's Trial. I don't want to wait for another eternity for our fight."

Gravis' heart stabbed a bit when he heard that.

Arc had worded it lightly, but Gravis still couldn't get comfortable with the fact that he would be Arc's death in the not-so-distant future.

Gravis really didn't want to kill Arc.

However, Arc and Gravis both knew that there was no way around it.

If Gravis didn't kill Arc, he would receive the Brand.

No matter how much Gravis liked Arc, he couldn't put Arc's survival above his own future.

Yes, they were close friends, but his freedom was more important to Gravis than his friends.

One might see this as selfish, but essentially all Cultivators thought like this. Additionally, Gravis never masked his true priorities.

Everyone knew about Gravis' priorities.
