Lightning Is the Only Way

A hundred years after they arrived in the highest world, Mortis vanished from Joyce's perception.

Mortis needed to distract himself and get away from this fucked up situation.

Where did he go?

Mortis went to a Law Comprehension Area for the Law of Blaze.

Where was the Law Comprehension Area, and how did Mortis gain access to it?

Gravis' first paycheck.

A century after Gravis started working in The Heaven Company, he got his first paycheck. He was called into The Heaven Company to get it.

He greeted the receptionist, and the receptionist told him where he had to go.

Gravis teleported to an office where an Ancestral God stayed to hand out paychecks.

Gravis handed over his white emblem, and the Ancestral God looked at it.

"Black Sentry, huh? Never seen you here before," he said casually. "You're new, right?"

Gravis nodded with a smile. "Yep. This is my first paycheck."

The Ancestral God nodded and put Gravis' emblem into a Formation Array. The Formation Array shone brightly for a second, and the Ancestral God retrieved it again.

"That's quite a big paycheck you got there," the Ancestral God said. The number of the Contribution Points had shocked him for a bit, but after he inspected Gravis' Aura closer, he realized why he was paid such an insane wage.

Gravis' Battle-Strength was so powerful that it was almost unreal.

The Ancestral God handed the emblem back to Gravis. "You can see what you can buy for your Contribution Points in the exchange hall."

Gravis looked at his emblem, and he saw that he had 5,000 Contribution Points now.

"Thanks," Gravis said as he teleported to the exchange hall.

SHING!

As soon as Gravis arrived, he saw a ton of Cultivators talking to each other. Apparently, the exchange hall also acted as some kind of hub for the workers of The Heaven Company to meet up.
