Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis frowned.

He didn't like what he had just heard for several reasons.

First of all, he knew that The Heaven Company paid their personnel according to their power. Gravis obviously had the power to even overlook fights between level two Star Gods, but he was stuck with Peak Immortal Emperors.

The difference in pay had to be absolutely massive. One person was a Peak Immortal Emperor, of which there was a ridiculous amount, and the other one would overlook the currently most powerful fights in the Star God Realm.

Even more, the personnel able to overlook fights between level two Star Gods were probably all Ancestral Gods, and using Ancestral Gods for a fight of such a level would be a huge waste for The Heaven Company. They were essentially killing a fly with a war hammer.

This meant that the people able to overlook such fights were worth far more. The economy was dictated by supply and demand. The demand for people of such a level wasn't very high, but the supply was many times below even that, essentially making such people incredibly valuable.

The Heaven Company was probably willing to pay an insane amount of money for such people.

Another reason why Gravis didn't like that was the fact that he had been tested against level two Star Gods earlier. If they couldn't use him against level two Star Gods due to a particular reason, why did they even test him? He had also obviously passed the test!

"Why?" Gravis asked. He wanted to hear the reason first.

If one didn't pay attention, one wouldn't notice how weird this interaction actually was.

In all the previous worlds Gravis had been to, his question and direct responses would have been seen as incredibly disrespectful. The person in front of Gravis was akin to a mighty Sect Leader of an outstanding Sect, while Gravis was only a mere Peak Immortal Emperor.

However, this world was different from all the previous worlds Gravis had been to.

This wasn't a Sect.

It was a Company.

Loyalty and respect were not that important in a Company. After all, it was simply an exchange of service for money. Because of that, even bosses and employees could talk to each other on the same level.

Gravis wasn't under some threat of eradication because of his direct questions.

It was within his right to refuse employment. That was why there was no asymmetric power dynamic between him and the Divine God.

"There are two reasons," the young man answered. "First of all, perception is based on Battle-Strength, not on Realm. I presume that you can probably jump six levels in the Peak Immortal Emperor Realm. If someone were at the Peak Star God Realm but had only the Laws of a Peak Immortal Emperor, they still wouldn't be able to feel your power. You should have noticed that by now."

Gravis nodded. Gravis remembered his fight with Eran, the Space Cultivator. Back then, Gravis had jumped five levels for the first time. He had been just as powerful as Eran back then.
