Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis went to Opposer City. He thought it would be fitting to make his breakthrough to the Heaven's Magnate Realm in the very city he had been born in.

Just like Master Linus, Gravis stopped above the city as he looked at it.

As Gravis looked at the city below him, his entire life flashed through his head.

Back when he had just been a kid, he hadn't even known what Cultivation was. He had also loved watching the Sky Community, although he hadn't been able to visit it.

The people in the Sky Community had appeared like Gods to Gravis back then. They could fly through the air, and they had essentially built an entire city in the sky.

It was wondrous.

Then, when Gravis had returned from the lower world, he had been able to visit the Sky Community. However, he had still been at the bare minimum in terms of power. He could enter the Sky Community, but it definitely wasn't safe for him to be there. After all, there were Nascent Nourishing and even Law Comprehension Cultivators there. They could kill him with only a thought.

Gravis also remembered the time the grass outside Opposer City had nearly killed him. Gravis had only been as powerful as mere grass back then.

Then, when Gravis came back from the middle world, he had been able to actually join the real Opposer City. The Sky Community had become irrelevant to him, and Gravis had created a shop in the actual city.

Sadly, his customer base had been rather small since Gravis was, just like before, only at the minimum when it came to power.

Nearly everyone in the city was more powerful than him.

Gravis also remembered the landlord for his shop. He had never seen him before, but Gravis had always seen him as an insurmountable existence. After all, his landlord had been a God!

Then, when Gravis had come back from the higher world, he had been on that level. Gravis had the ability to buy several buildings and create an entire company. However, there were still many shops and companies that far outranked him in everything.

The biggest merchant companies had powerful Ancestral Gods. These Gods had lived for over a million years!

And on top of that, there were the really big companies, like the Research Institute or the Information Pavilion. These were companies that could even do business with the Peak Sects.

And now?

Now, Gravis was above all of them.

Only the Heaven's Magnates were above him, and that also not for long.

From a mere nobody that couldn't even fight grass, Gravis had reached the very top.
