The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 2632: Peace After War

In the blink of an eye, six months have passed since the death of Jabez, the former master of Firestone Minos.

All ten Elders of Armhands have returned to headquarters, while only a few Generals and Officers have stayed behind in the guild's new territories.

With the end of Firestone Mines, the allied forces of this destroyed sect either surrendered to the coalition led by Armhands, or stampeded, disappearing from the central area of Oqia.

Meanwhile, Armhands had quickly divided up the enemy territories, ensuring that its allies were left with generous enough portions so that the post-war period would not create new disputes.

Under Segiel's leadership and Minos' advice, the guild followed a peaceful path of not trying to dominate the continent just because of this recent victory and the growing number of Supremes in the force. What was most important to the guild was that they reached Uzira, so, as interesting as it would have been to keep everything they themselves had conquered, the guild opted to continue growing in Oqia peacefully.

Their strategy worked well. In just three months since the division of enemy lands between the victors of the war, the four main allied forces returned their troops to their territories. Meanwhile, their leading members returned to their headquarters, intending to go into seclusion again, a very good sign for all sides.

The great victors divided up other spoils of war such as cultivation resources, crystals, plants, artifacts, Qilnats and much more. Within Armhands, the major names in the war got their due shares of resources, enough to make even Supremes' eyes glaze over.

Among them were Minos and Abby, who, below the 10 Elders of the guild, were the ones who got the most merits and prizes for their cooperation throughout the conflict.

And so, little by little, they were getting used to their new routines at headquarters, back to their usual responsibilities, cultivation, and planning of the future.

...

In the Law Enforcement Hall of the guild's inner area, Kendrick was now in the office of the hall's general supervisor, having inherited this position from his parents.

Neither Abby nor Minos would continue to serve as hall supervisors after the war. With the amount of merit they both had and all their resources, they no longer needed to work hard to become Elders of the guild. As it was, they only needed to become Supreme to achieve this.

But the Supreme Leader himself had already spoken to them about the possibility of them becoming Elders even before that, when they arrived in Uzira and opened a branch of the guild on that continent.

From then on, they would have all the freedom they wanted to act on behalf of the guild.

As such, the two were now only involved in matters related to their mission of departure for Uzira while supporting the rest of the family.

Kendrick was the new supervisor of the Law Enforcement Hall, while in front of him in the force's leadership office was Hollie, the hall supervisor for the outside area. Next to Hollie, Lily was the current chief judge of the hall.

As you can see, nepotism was not a problem in the cultivation world!

"What do you want here, little sisters? Is there a problem?" Kendrick asked with a smile on his face as he sat down in his armchair.

"A group of newcomers will soon join the guild. We need to prepare for trouble," Lily said as she looked at Hollie.

Hollie nodded positively. "Yes. We have had no problems in recent months because of the post-war moment and our father's still powerful influence on the guild members.

But in the coming months we're going to increase our numbers by 30% and with father's seclusion, it's likely that some old guild members will become bolder. We should prepare for that."

"So you want to talk about prevention? There aren't any problems going on in the guild for us to deal with before then?" He asked.

"There aren't," the two said in unison.

"Then let's prepare an event for the newcomers who join the guild in the next few months. This will help them understand the current order of things."

After Armhands' victory in the war, the guild's popularity had increased across the continent. Hundreds of individuals were coming to Examire every week with an interest in joining the guild—obviously in the dark about the disadvantages of doing so.

In addition, the guild had lost many members throughout the war and was left with resources, territories and opportunities that went beyond what its current members could handle. Consequently, the force intended to accept a much larger number of admissions over the coming months than it normally did.

The three siblings continued talking about this at the headquarters of the Law Enforcement Hall, a sector of the guild that was currently totally loyal to them.

...

In the guild's rebuilt caves, Minos was standing next to two of his wives now, preparing to go into seclusion alongside them.

Abby would be on standby to help the rest of the family and the faction, so only Ruth, Gloria, and he would go into seclusion today.

Having already warned Segiel that he would be with his two wives in seclusion for the next four months, Minos first used his divine ability on Ruth and then on Gloria.

Stopping to rest while the two were already cultivating, he drank water, figuring that four months would be enough for them to improve their strength a little and not be away for too long.

For the time being, he didn't want to go into long periods of seclusion for fear of changes happening during their absence. But if things went smoothly for the next three short-term seclusions he intended to do, he was already planning a decade-long reclusion.

'Time to start.' He used his divine ability on himself, making the golden hourglass appear over his body, creating a time distortion between him and the rest of the guild.

With his ability working on himself, Minos began to cultivate, circulating his energies as he focused on continuing to improve himself.

After these cycles of short seclusion, he intended to cultivate for the entire period until Callie and Vico returned!

By now, those two should have left the galaxy where Zocarro was and be nearing the end of their journey to the Spiritual World. In another 15 years—Minos thought—those two could be back on Zocarro with the group that agreed to leave the old Spiritual World behind.

With good prospects for the future, he erased everything unrelated to cultivation from his mind, returning to study the truths behind natural laws while strengthening himself.
