Chapter 1229 – Exar and Aris

"So, what's this all about a tournament?" Gravis asked.

"Well, as you know, the Lightning Peak Sect has had a change in leadership some time ago," Manuel explained. "One million years is very long for us, but for Divine Gods, a million years only feel like 100,000 years, relatively speaking."

"The Lightning Peak Sect probably had to stabilize itself for a long time with the new leadership, and now, they are finally ready to interact with the outside world again."

"I think they are creating this tournament for a couple of reasons."

"First, they want to show their power. They want to show that they still belong to the Peak Sects."

"Second, they want to ease their relationships with the other Peak Sects. After all, the winner gets to choose to join any Peak Sect, not only the Lightning Peak Sect. This means that this is probably a collaboration between all the Peak Sects."
