Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis had totally forgotten about his birthday. After all, birthdays kind of lost their meaning.

However, one million years was still a long time, and Gravis needed some time to process that.

Gravis was a million years old now.

After a moment of shock, Gravis recovered and thanked everyone for coming.

Then, all of them had a small get-together, which reminded Gravis of the time he had left for the middle world. Back then, they had also held a small party for Gravis.

Gravis still remembered the present his father had given him. It had been a black scale, and Gravis had had no idea from whom this scale came.

Now, Gravis knew.

It had been a scale from the Black Magnate.

Stella wasn't here right now since she was busy comprehending more Laws. Additionally, Gravis also hadn't been there for Stella's millionth birthday.

It wasn't really an important event, and everyone knew that, which was why the party had only been very small and short. It basically only acted as a small get-together and reunion.

Gravis didn't speak much with Mortis, the Black Magnate, his father, or his mother since he was in regular contact with them.

However, Orpheus was someone Gravis hadn't met in a while, and he asked him how he was doing. After all, Gravis hadn't seen Orpheus in Manuel's faction.

"Oh, I'm just comprehending Laws," Orpheus said with a smile. "The Ancestor of the Eternal Fire Sect offered me the position of Sect Master, but I declined. I don't want to be bound by a lot of responsibility."

This took Gravis by surprise. "Wait, what? The Ancestor asked you to be the Sect Master of the Eternal Fire Sect?" Gravis asked.

Orpheus nodded with a smile. "Yes, apparently, there had been some kind of competition I didn't know about. However, that explanation cleared a lot of my doubts."

Gravis lifted an eyebrow.
