Lightning Is the Only Way

The representatives were stunned by the interaction, but they quickly realized something.

Those two knew each other.

This wasn't common, but it happened from time to time. After all, many powerful members of other Sects were made up of Ascenders that had been in the highest world for a while. Old and new Ascenders could have known each other.

Even more, the new Ascender was a plant, which gave the previous Ascender way more time to become more powerful due to a plant's inherent longevity.

The representatives quickly threw a look at each other.

They didn't want the new Ascender to join any other Sect, but they wanted her to join a completely unknown Sect even less.

The representatives in the hall, at least, had several treaties on how to manage this whole affair. In comparison, this new guy was completely unrelated to them.

"You are not allowed to be here," one of the representatives to Gravis. "Unaffiliated Sects are not allowed to vie for new Ascenders."

"Vie for new Ascenders?" Gravis asked with a snort. "I just insulted your new Ascender, and you call that vying for her?"

The Star Gods narrowed their eyes.

"But fine," Gravis said. "I'll leave."

Then, Gravis left the hall again.

The Star Gods weren't very happy with that. Those two had obviously known each other, and Gravis' appearance alone had already thrown a wrench into their plans.

The representatives quickly talked to each other to find a solution. They exchanged many words, but since all of them had been said via voice transmission, not even a second had passed before they reached a consensus.

One of the representatives walked to Meadow. "How would you like to join us?" he asked.

Meadow only looked at him neutrally.

However, while the representative was talking, he activated some peculiar Laws.

These representatives had powerful skills when it came to manipulation and persuasion. This guy, in particular, knew several level six Laws related to the Spirit and mind.

He was the best in this field out of everyone present, and he had promised the other Sects a lot of money for this Ascender.

The others had accepted since this was better than seeing this new Ascender go to none of their Sects. At least, with this, they would get something out of this situation.

Meadow's mind became foggy, and she immediately found this guy to her liking.

"Sure," she answered absentmindedly.
