Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis remained at Stella's side for a long time. They had a lot to catch up on.

Gravis also visited Yersi in Opposer City time and time again. He knew that Yersi probably had it the hardest at the moment, and Gravis did his best to be there for her.

After some years, Yersi finally found something she wanted to do.

Cooking.

Cooking wasn't a very popular profession, but that was mostly because of the limited customer base. After all, when one didn't need food, one wouldn't be very interested in food generally.

Additionally, people with a lot of power had very high standards since they had essentially come into contact with everything.

There was also the problem with the ingredients.

Star Gods wouldn't be interested in some Energy Gathering Beasts.

However, beasts in the Spirit Forming Realm and higher were just as intelligent as humans, making it a bit weird for most people to eat them.

Funnily enough, it was easier for beasts to eat beasts than for humans to eat beasts. Humans never needed to consume beasts to grow more powerful, and they also couldn't.

Only a beast could eat others to become more powerful, while humans couldn't. Humans had to rely on natural treasures or God Stones.

Because of that, only very few humans were actually interested.

Beasts were also not as interested since cooking something felt like a waste of effort. It would also diminish the Energy inside the corpse, and they perceived it as wasteful.

However, Yersi enjoyed it. Taking something and elevating it to greater heights was something she deeply enjoyed.

Originally, she had only been interested in cooking for herself and for Jake, but that had changed when a spoiled child from some random Sect told her that he was interested in trying her cooking.

That child loved her cooking so much that he brought his friends along to try it.

After a while, they had seen eating beasts in such a refined manner as an exotic hobby. The high prices were also not a detriment but an advantage. After all, if it was that expensive, it had to be special, right?

These people were mostly Immortals that had been artificially elevated to their Realm.

They had never fought anyone in their lives.

Yersi enjoyed it when others liked her cooking, and she expanded her repertoire of dishes and ingredients.

Sadly, her initial customers quickly left in outrage and shock shortly after Yersi had opened her restaurant.

Why?

Because human was also on the menu.

Beasts also ate humans, and it was absolutely normal.

Humans accepted that fact without any issues since it was normal, but seeing a human's remains prepared in such a delicate fashion sent shivers down their spines.
