Chapter 752: Arc (1/2)

Gravis' mind was going wild as he saw the ”teacher”.

What teacher?

This was definitely the higher Heaven!

He looked far too much like the middle Heaven, except for the two differences that he definitely looked like a he and not a ”they”, and that he had five eyes instead of seven.

However, the more Gravis thought about this, the less sure he became. Orthar had also looked like a Heaven, and he certainly was an octopus, not a Heaven. Additionally, if this were the higher Heaven, he would be breaking so many rules by being here.

First of all, he directly came into contact with the beings in this world and even taught them things personally. Second of all, he was directly communicating with them.

Would the highest Heaven allow something like this?

Gravis listened in on the lesson the teacher taught and realized that it was only about how to perceive Laws. He explained that there were many ways one could use to understand Laws. They could try to resonate with a Law, which was how the people in the Unrestrained Sect cultivated. However, he also explained that they could understand Laws by understanding and looking at them.

He didn't teach them any specifics about Laws and only showed them how they could concentrate on comprehending Laws. Something like this wasn't damaging to one's path, and Gravis sure would have benefited from such a lecture back when he entered the middle world.

The teacher wrapped the session up in about ten more minutes, and the Cultivators left. The relatively younger Cultivators shot off like they were finally free from some boring lecture, while the older ones had fallen into thought.

The beasts and humans passed Gravis, throwing curious glances at him.

The teacher straightened his back like he felt stiff. Then, he looked at Gravis and smiled in a friendly manner.

”Hello, Gravis,” he said.

All of Gravis' doubts vanished as he heard the teacher directly address him. To normal Cultivators, he would sound just like a normal guy, but Gravis had talked with the middle Heaven for a long while.

This was definitely the higher Heaven!

Gravis hadn't noticed before since he hadn't directly addressed Gravis, but he had the same kind of resonance with the world that the middle Heaven had.

Gravis narrowed his eyes. ”I'm pretty sure what you're doing is against the rules,” he said.

The higher Heaven's smile widened in amusement as the Immortal King beside Gravis got confused. Rules? What kind of rules?

”Samantha, would you be so kind as to go back to the others?” the higher Heaven said. ”I want to talk to him alone.”

Samantha nodded. ”Sure,” she said with a slight bow. Then, she threw one last glance at Gravis and left.

Silence returned to the clearing as only Gravis and the higher Heaven remained.

”What do you want?” Gravis asked with an apparent distaste in his voice.

The higher Heaven only laughed in a friendly manner.

”Hasn't Matthew told you?” he asked as he walked over to a big lake. The lake wasn't really huge for Immortal standards, but it was a couple of kilometers long.

”He said you wanted to talk to me,” Gravis said, obviously realizing that Matthew referred to that one Eldest Brother.

”And that's exactly what I want. I just want to talk,” the higher Heaven said. After arriving at the lake, he sat down and put his feet in the water in relaxation.

”And what do you want to talk about?” Gravis asked, not closing the distance.

”Anything,” he said.

”Anything?” Gravis asked with a raised eyebrow.

”Yes, anything,” the higher Heaven confirmed. ”It's rare that I get to talk to someone not from my world. Additionally, we have an entwined destiny.”

”Our fight, yes?” Gravis asked.

The higher Heaven nodded. ”Yes, sadly.”

”Sadly?” Gravis asked in skepticism. ”This would be a first for me. Every other Heaven I met almost couldn't wait to smash my face in.”

”Well, us Heavens are just as diverse as people,” he said. ”We all search for our purpose in life, and when we can't find an external purpose in life, we desperately search for another one.”

”I have seen your past, Gravis, and I have to say that you really met the most extreme examples of my so-called siblings,” he said, the word siblings sounding very distasteful.

”That lower Heaven you met realized that they could never become more powerful again. Therefore, they decided to find a purpose in their life by feeling superior. Like a child that has been handed supreme power, they have suppressed everyone and wanted everyone to worship them.”

”That middle Heaven realized the same thing. Yet, instead of searching for a purpose in superiority, they made my creator their purpose. In short, they were living for someone else,” he explained.

Gravis was surprised by several things. First of all, the higher Heaven said the word siblings like he hated that word. However, his distaste for the word creator was manifold greater.
