Lightning Is the Only Way

Deep in the earth, Gravis and Mortis noticed that the Peak Sects had begun to move. Just a couple of months ago, there had been Divine Gods that could sense him everywhere, but now, they had nearly all left.

Gravis inspected the Law fragments of some Ancestral Gods to check what had happened, and he only snorted when he realized why everyone had left.

'You saw that your Sects were losing members without end, so you quickly created a scapegoat to unite them. Give them a bit of hope so that they won't leave, huh?'

'Is that to lure me out? I wonder, what would you do if I didn't appear?'

Then, Gravis smirked.

'Yet, I'm not a person that just watches. You attack the Heavenly Divine Sect? Sure, go ahead. The Heavenly Divine Sect isn't my ally, but you've left yourself open to an attack.'

Their clones quickly checked through all the Peak Sects, and they realized that basically everyone had left their Sect except for the Mortal Sect.

'So many opponents to choose from,' Gravis thought with a smile.

Then, Gravis' eyes fell onto the True Life Sect.

'If I take on someone too difficult, my Will-Aura might get stuck at the ninth level of the Divine God Realm. At that point, no Divine God would be able to fight me.'

'If my Will-Aura only reaches the ninth level, I would need to fight Heaven's Magnates with a weaker Will-Aura, which makes things difficult. After all, all Heaven's Magnates know all the Laws I know except for some exceptions. Their suppression would make it rather difficult.'

'So, I should take on an easier but still dangerous fight to push my Will-Aura to the eighth level of the Divine God Realm. At that point, the Sect Masters and Vice-Sect Masters would still be immune to my Law of Perceived Reality, granting me actual opponents.'

Gravis contacted Mortis, and the two of them quickly came up with a plan.

Nearly all of their clones traveled toward their main bodies. Since the powerful members of the Sects were all gathered, the two of them didn't need to fear surveillance. Because of that, they simply used the Teleportation Formation Arrays to gather.

Mortis had only left one single clone alive, and that clone kept watch over the Heavenly Divine Sect.

If Gravis and Mortis initiated their fight before the Sects went into battle, the Sects could probably just use some emergency teleportation emblems to return, but if they were entranced in a battle, they couldn't flee as easily.

After waiting for nearly two years, their opportunity finally arrived.

Mortis' clone felt the activation of the powerful Formation Array, and he immediately knew that the war had begun.

BANG!

Mortis' clone exploded as he self-destructed. The clone hadn't been very powerful, which meant that they hadn't lost much Energy.
