Lightning Is the Only Way

Seeing the fateful day again left an impactful feeling in Gravis.

'Just wait. One day, I will be just as powerful, and all of this will end,' Gravis thought.

'But for now, I have to concentrate on this boring life for a bit longer.'

And thus, time continued to pass for Gravis.

Harold had been quite distraught by the event, but he continued living. His focus had changed, and he focused on becoming more powerful.

After the fateful day, the entire world underwent an upheaval.

Sects filled with Ancestral Gods were annexing all the empty land for themselves and creating subservient Sects.

The powerful Sects had become even more powerful.

And just 30,000 years later, Gravis had appeared in the highest world as a Peak Immortal Emperor.

Gravis could scarcely believe that only this little bit had passed between the time he had embarked on his journey and the time he had returned as a Peak Immortal Emperor.

'For the people in the highest world, this really only feels like it happened yesterday,' Gravis thought. 'Time dilation can be truly scary.'

The remaining 200,000 or so years passed relatively quickly, and the scene switched to the time Harold had been abducted by the Vice-Sect Master of the Lost Wind Sect.

By now, Gravis also knew why the Vice-Sect Master had chosen someone from his own Sect.

Gravis opened his eyes as Samsara ended, and he quickly activated the formation for the True Law of Suffering again.

The people in the main hall had gotten a second of pause just now, but that couldn't be helped.

"Kill him, please," Gravis said.

SSSHHH!

The Ancestral God, Harold, turned into dust before Gravis.

After that, Gravis transformed into lightning and entered his original body again.

The original body of Gravis looked at the Vice-Sect Master of the Lost Wind Sect and summoned a jade token.
