Lightning Is the Only Way

Nira's mind nearly broke with shock.

What was going on!?

Why was she in the body of her mother!?

And was there herself that she was holding in her arms!?

While Nira was going through one shock after the other, Gravis was preparing himself mentally.

Gravis couldn't close his eyes since he was taking the place of someone else.

Gravis couldn't let himself drift away.

He had to be conscious while all the perspectives of Nira that every person in the world had of her played before his eyes.

Nira was far older than Gravis, and the accumulated perspectives of all the people around her would stretch everything even more.

Gravis knew that he would have to force himself through around a million years of memories of someone else.

Gravis was 200,000 years old, but for how many years had Gravis actually remained conscious?

One couldn't really count the Law Comprehension time since Gravis' mind always entered a trance during those.

Gravis had maybe only been conscious for 50,000 years of his life, and those had been all the years he had spent with Stella.

Nira and Gravis watched as the young Nira slowly became older.

Everyone around her looked at her like she was the cutest treasure in the world.

The little Nira was so innocent and pure.

One couldn't connect this cute and innocent child with the bitter and angry Immortal Emperor she was bound to become.

Nira had started cultivating ever since she had been a small child.

Her father and mother were Cultivators in the Unity Realm.

Their grandfather, an Immortal King, had told them that this was too early to have a child. Cultivation was always opposed to family.

The grandfather wanted his son to also become a powerful Immortal King in the Nine Elements Sect.

Nira's father wasn't part of the Nine Elements Sect since the Nine Elements Sect strictly forbade nepotism. Everyone had to work for their position, even if they were related to an Elder.

Members of the Nine Elements Sect were only allowed to support their children with Sect resources for the first 100 years of their life.

Why?

First of all, it was cheap to support these weak rookies.

Second of all, they couldn't ask humans to directly throw their children away.

Third of all, there had to be some perks that a Sect offered, or the powerful members might join a different Sect.

Nira's father had become a Unity Realm Cultivator with the help of the Nine Elements Sect, but he had found the love of his life in a very short amount of time.

It was love at first sight, and Nira's father dropped everything to be with his wife.

Nira's grandfather was against it, but he didn't force his will onto his son.

If that was his son's decision, so be it.

The first 30 years of Nira's life consisted of happily Cultivating and fighting against weak, captured beasts for tempering.

She hadn't killed a single human in those 30 years.

When the two parents saw that their child was in the Spirit Forming Realm, they decided that they had waited long enough.

Seeing their daughter become powerful reawakened their desire for power.

So, the two of them joined a mock war with another Sect.

These Sects didn't even have any rankings in this higher world since they were simply too weak. Because of that, the more powerful Sects didn't mind it if those weaker Sects killed each other.

The Sects sent equally powerful forces into a life-and-death battle.

Sadly, Nira's parents would never return.
