Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis left Manuel's faction after saying goodbye to everyone.

To alleviate their fears, Gravis told everyone that he would probably be gone for quite a while. Back then, the Heaven's Trial had taken Gravis over four years, which had been an incredibly long time for him.

Maybe this Heaven's Trial would also take an incredibly long time.

He also told them that, as long as his father didn't inform them, it meant that he was still alive.

Like that, they didn't have to worry about the unknown.

Gravis also said sorry that he couldn't be there for Stella's tribulation. Stella would undergo her tribulation in about 45,000 years, and Gravis assumed that the Heaven's Trial would take longer.

In fact, it wasn't only Stella undergoing her tribulation. Most others had become Star Gods just shortly after Stella, shortly meaning 100,000 or 200,000 years later.

Gravis referred to hundreds of thousands of years as shortly.

Eventually, Gravis left. Obviously, Mortis followed him, but he kept himself intangible. After all, he had only bought one token, which was for Gravis, and he wouldn't buy a second token if he could just enter for free.

Orthar owned the Heaven's Trials, not the Eternal Fire Sect.

After teleporting for a couple of hours, Gravis arrived near an empty mountain range.

WHOOOM!

An incredibly powerful Will-Aura suppressed Gravis as a blue-haired teenager appeared in front of Gravis.

It was hard for Gravis to feel his Realm, but Gravis guessed that he was probably a level four or level five Ancestral God.

"You are not from the Eternal Fire Sect," the teenager said.

"And yet, I have an entry token," Gravis answered with a voice transmission. "If you could retrieve your Will-Aura, I could show you."

The teenager narrowed his eyes, but he complied.

The pressure on Gravis weakened, and Gravis summoned the entry token, which quickly got taken away by the teenager.

The teenager looked at the entry token with concentration and then at Gravis.

CRK!

The teenager destroyed the entry token and nodded. "You can go in."

Gravis nodded politely and passed the teenager, who just teleported away again.

Gravis went to the foot of one mountain and landed.

Before Gravis was a small cave. It wasn't any bigger than a mortal iron mine, and it felt rather rustic.

entering the cave, Gravis calmly walked for a while, and as he walked forward, the
