Chapter 136: Is This What I Want to Be? (1/2)

Wendy's eyes widened when she heard that. ”What do you mean?”

Gravis smiled. She had already told all her secrets to him, so why couldn't he tell her? No one was around, and Gravis could feel the Spirit of others. He also didn't believe that the upper echelon of the Wind Guild would break their promise. The only one listening was Heaven, and it already knew his background.

”This is a lower world. Above this world are the middle worlds, and above those are the higher worlds,” Gravis explained. ”I am from the highest world, and every world is below ours. My father is the strongest being, equal to the highest Heaven. They are enemies, and Heaven has used me to hurt my father before. That's why Heaven is my enemy and why it can't act directly against me. My father forces Heaven into a fair fight.”

Wendy was shocked and couldn't process all the information she was receiving right now. There were so many worlds above this one? Also, Gravis' father was this powerful? She couldn't imagine how powerful he had to be.

Gravis smiled happily. ”When Heaven tried to strike me in the Basin of Nature, my father slapped it away. That's why everything vanished. The Heaven of this lower world is nothing in my father's eyes,” said Gravis with pride.

Wendy still couldn't fully believe Gravis' tale, but everything pointed to it being the truth. Why else did these things happen in the Basin of Nature? Gravis remained silent for a while, and Wendy also didn't say anything. She kept thinking about the whole situation.

After a while, Wendy smiled happily. ”If Heaven is forced to fight with you fairly, then you are probably the only person who has a shot at damaging it,” she looked upwards into the sky. ”I am happy that my gamble and all my hardships paid off. If I gave up earlier, I would have never had the chance to change anything. This is the first time in a long while, where I'm truly happy,” she said as some tears rolled down her eyes.

”Here, take this,” Wendy said as she passed a jade token, as well as a piece of paper to Gravis. ”This is the core of the inheritance. It's a Formation Array, and everything about it is explained in the piece of paper. You only need to use your lightning on it, and you will understand everything about it. The ascended senior took great care in keeping what the token can do a secret.”

Gravis nodded and injected his lightning into the paper. A lot of information appeared in his mind, and he completely understood why the senior kept it a secret. ”It's incredibly powerful, but you shouldn't underestimate Heaven. I'm sure it already knows that this Formation Array can block one attack, no matter how strong,” Gravis said.

Wendy shivered, but could only sigh. ”You're probably right,” she said. ”Yet, this won't stop it from working. With this, you could at least block one attack from Heaven.”

Gravis nodded with a smile, but inside, he felt incredibly shocked. If one looked at the paper only with Energy, they would learn that the token could block one attack. Yet, when an element was infused into it, the element would return and spell out some words in the user's mind. It was a genius way of keeping its true secret hidden. Heaven probably never learned about its true secret.

Gravis' plan for the Pre-Forming technique slowly changed into an even more reckless one. There was a high chance that he would die when performing it, but his goal was the peak. If he couldn't reach the peak, then he couldn't reach his goal. His goal was more important than his life. She also passed him a sack, which carried hundreds of Energy Stones.

They both remained silent for several minutes and just looked at the sky. Gravis had accepted Wendy's wish for revenge. Yet, the situation could only end in tragedy. Wendy wanted to return to her husband and take revenge for him. Her wish for revenge was transferred to Gravis, and now, only one wish remained.

Gravis felt a little nervous, and not even his powerful will could stop these emotions from affecting him. He learned more about Wendy than every other person in this world, which created a special connection between them. Yet, because of that, Gravis knew that her mind was made up.

It didn't matter what he said. Wendy would go through with it. The closer they got to the moment of goodbye, the more Gravis' whole being revolted against the situation. He felt a genuine feeling of companionship with Wendy, and he didn't want to do it. It felt so wrong in his mind. He didn't mind killing strangers, but it was a different thing if he knew the person.
