Lightning Is the Only Way

"Broad Walker is dead?" Gravis asked in surprise.

"Yeah, a lot of our members died. We're lucky that he's the only one to die in like 500,000 years," Ferris said.

"500,000 years?" Gravis repeated with a shocked expression.

"Yeah, it has been something like 500,000 since you had to deal with the entire Sin Aura thing. It's been a really, really long time!" Ferris said.

Ferris' words hit Gravis hard.

500,000 years.

It had been 500,000 years since Liam, Skye, and the others had died.

That was so long!

Gravis looked at his hands absentmindedly. 'But it feels like it happened only recently. Yet, it's been 500,000 years?' he thought in shock.

Gravis did some calculations, and he realized that he had already been a Star God for over 600,000 years.

'I have been a Star God for so long already? I haven't even truly fought another Star God during that time. My friends go through one tempering experience after the other while I simply don't. It's surreal.'

Of course, Gravis knew why he hadn't gone through as many temperings as the others.

First of all, Gravis had received a lot of tempering from Samsara and then even more from the Sin Aura. In essence, Gravis had skipped two to three temperings with those.

However, that wasn't everything.

Gravis knew exactly what the main reason was.

He had to comprehend so many Laws.

Gravis wasn't willing to fall a level in Battle-Strength, but everyone's Battle-Strength took a huge leap starting at the Star God Realm. In the higher world, comprehending a level seven Law as an Immortal Emperor would be the stuff of legends. No one was even certain if that had ever happened before.
