Chapter 1127 - 1127 – Being Heaven (1/2)
Gravis' eyes widened in shock.
The debt had been paid off?
How!?
According to Gravis' calculations, he still had around 75% of the debt remaining.
”Are you letting me off?” Gravis asked with furrowed brows.
While saying these words, Gravis also looked around.
His father wasn't here.
”No, I'm not,” Orthar said neutrally. ”Your debt has been paid off. That's the truth.”
Gravis furrowed his brows. ”What happened? How is my debt suddenly paid off?”
”You are no longer alone, Gravis,” Orthar said. ”The Myriad Sect paid off your debt.”
”The Myriad Sect?” Gravis asked in shock. ”But how?”
How could the Myriad Sect get 17 billion God Stones in only 15,000 years?
That was enough to buy an Elder-position in the Eternal Fire Sect!
Only Ancestral Gods could have so much wealth, and the Myriad Sect didn't have Ancestral Gods.
”You are the reason why so many of your friends have ever even reached the Star God Realm, Gravis,” Orthar said. ”Without you, nearly all of them would already be dead. Part of their success is thanks to you. Because of that, when your friends become more powerful, you get part of their associated Karmic Luck.”
”That alone was already enough to deal with 30% of your total debt. Your remaining debt has been paid off by the efforts of the Myriad Sect's Ancestor.”
”Ancestor?” Gravis asked. ”The Myriad Sect doesn't have an Ancestor.”
”They do now,” Orthar answered.
Gravis remained silent as he took all of Orthar's words in.
Gravis had put so much work into surviving this tribulation.
He had done so incredibly much, and the last 15,000 years had been stressful beyond compare.
'Yet, I actually didn't need to go through so much,' Gravis thought with a complex expression.
'Orthar's right. I'm no longer alone.'
'I thought that I needed to deal with this issue all on my own. After all, that's always how it has been. My friends have always been below me in power, and I have been the one helping them.'
'That is still true to some extent, but quantity is also a form of quality.'
'Alone, my friends still wouldn't be able to make any significant headway on this issue, but together, they have accomplished even more than me.'
”I've made a mistake,” Mortis said from the side. ”I've never asked the Myriad Sect what they were trying to do to help Gravis. I disregarded their help from the very beginning, believing that they wouldn't help with much.”
”I should change that approach,” Mortis said as he scratched his chin in thought.
Gravis nodded with a sigh, but then, his face morphed into a warm smile.
”I'm no longer alone,” Gravis said slowly. ”I don't have to bear all this pressure on my own.”
Mortis also nodded.
”So, how has it been being me for 15,000 years?” Orthar repeated.
Gravis looked at Orthar in confusion.
”Think about what you have done and why you have done it,” Orthar said.
SHING!
A Sin Monster appeared on Orthar's finger. ”Your father,” Orthar said.
Gravis' eyes widened as he realized everything at once.
How hadn't he noticed it before!?
Hadn't he assumed Orthar's mantle for the past 15,000 years!?
A monster was consuming Gravis' Energy, and if he didn't gather enough Energy, he would eventually die to this monster.
So, what had Gravis done?
He had gone to lower worlds and had increased the power of an uncountable number of Cultivators to become more powerful. They were gathering Karmic Luck for Gravis, but in a sense, one could also say that they were gathering Energy for Orthar.
Karmic Luck was only the representation of the Energy they were gathering.
In order to keep up with the consumption of the monster, Gravis had to work his ass off for 15,000 years. He had to be completely efficient!
Even more, Gravis had started viewing people not as people but as Energy.
Gravis hadn't been looking at the person but at the Energy and Karmic Luck they represented.
Every Cultivator had represented a certain amount of Energy, and when someone became a Peak Immortal Emperor, Gravis became excited.
If one of them managed to become a Star God, he would be elated.
So much Karmic Luck!
