Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis' eyes widened in shock.

A level seven Law?

One needed a level seven Law to become a Star God!?

Sure, Gravis knew a level seven Law, but something like this was basically unachievable for nearly everyone that reached the highest world. After all, the first tribulation would pit them against a Star God directly.

How were they supposed to survive something like that!?

However, the more Gravis thought about this, the more he felt like he was missing something.

Usually, reaching the highest world sooner should be seen as an advantage, but in this case, reaching the highest world sooner would be worse.

Cultivators in the higher world had no idea about the requirements for becoming a Star God, which meant that a lot of them would simply chase the next world and then get blindsided by this ridiculous requirement.

Even more, a lot of them should have nearly exhausted their longevity since they expected that they could reach the next Realm without any big issues as soon as they ascended.

Effectively, this change would hit all the Cultivators out of nowhere, not giving them enough information to plan their future.

That didn't seem conducive to creating a lot of powerful Cultivators.

Gravis knew that Orthar wouldn't have overlooked something as obvious as that, which meant that there had to be more to this.

"There must be more, right?" Gravis asked his father. "Something must have been changed to allow Ascenders to realistically comprehend level seven Laws. Otherwise, it wouldn't make any sense."

By now, Gravis' friends basically knew everything that Gravis knew about the Cosmos except for the real secret things, and they nodded when they heard Gravis.
