Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis arrived at Manuel's faction pretty quickly. The Eternal Fire Sect's territory was gigantic, but it also had many Teleportation Formation Arrays inside it, making it easy for Gravis to get there.

When Gravis arrived, he was surprised by how small Manuel's faction looked. There were barely any buildings, and it looked more like a solitary castle than an entire faction.

However, the twelve core members of Manuel's faction were all present.

Manuel was the Leader.

Aris and Broad Walker were the Vice-Leaders.

Meadow and Narcissus simply sat beneath the headquarters.

Dorian, Ferris, Azure, Stella, Exar, Yersi, and Jake were simply the elite force. Apparently, Elders were no longer necessary due to the new way everything was set up.

Everyone welcomed Gravis, including Mortis. After all, Mortis was also here because of Azure.

"Why are only you guys here?" Gravis asked. "I expected you to create a formidable faction with a lot of members."

"Things are different now," Manuel said with a tranquil smile. "We aren't really warring with other Sects but fighting over resources."

"Resource war?" Gravis asked. "Is it like the Sect Alliance in the higher world I have been to?"

The last question was mainly targeted at Stella, who had even been part of the Sect Alliance back then.

"Not entirely," Stella said with a smile, happy that Gravis was here. "We have about 3,000 Star Gods in our faction, which doesn't sound like much, but 3,000 Star Gods is already the average for the factions inside the Eternal Fire Sect."

"That's not as much as I had thought," Gravis answered with surprise. "Why are there not as many members?"
