Lightning Is the Only Way

"The Heaven Company, huh?" Gravis repeated.

The Opposer just looked at his son.

"It just sounds like another Heaven Sect to me," Gravis said.

"In a sense, they are another Heaven Sect," the Opposer said. "However, the biggest difference is that The Heaven Company doesn't kill or suppress people unless they get attacked first. They also don't accept any payment from anyone. Their entire job consists of protecting the surroundings when powerful Cultivators fight."

"You have already experienced what destruction a fight brings, and the destruction will only get worse the more powerful the combatants become. Immortal Emperors already destroy tens of thousands of kilometers around them, and it will only grow more intense in the Star God and Ancestral God Realm."

"Cultivators are allowed to fight wherever they wish, but if they decide to fight in a crowded area, a Judge will overlook the fight and protect the surroundings."

"And how would a Judge get there in time?" Gravis asked. "Fights often break out at a moment's notice."

"The Heaven Company has access to an exclusive teleportation network that allows them to reach every part of the highest world instantaneously. The Old Bastard actively changed the Laws of the Cosmos for The Heaven Company, giving them the sole ability to do something like that."

"Alright," Gravis said. "How are they getting the information about all these fights? After all, I doubt that they have the ability to watch the entire world."

"It's a special Formation Array," the Opposer explained. "The Old Bastard uses a specific Law to connect with the Formation Array. As soon as he notices that a fight is about to break out, the Formation Array directly sends the relevant information to The Heaven Company. This means that every fight that is being fought in this Cosmos will be picked up by the Formation Array and documented."

Gravis scratched his chin as he hummed.

"So, The Heaven Company only protects the environment. Is that right?" Gravis asked.

"Yes, that, and The Heaven Company also enforces battle agreements between the two parties. If both parties agree to a life and death battle and one of them tries to flee, The Heaven Company will enforce the agreement and apprehend the party that broke the agreement."

Gravis furrowed his brows. "All of this sounds rather selfless."
