The Rise of the Black Plain

"So all is well... I'm relieved to hear that the forces of our friends here have contributed so much over the years." Minos looked at the two aliens, members of the leading force of the galaxy of The Adamant Land.

Oswald, Angelica and Starclaw nodded in agreement, having just told him how the Spiritual World and The Adamant Land had developed in the years since he and his wives left.

The two Sovereigns, both currently at level 105, smiled at Minos, grateful that their leaders had been taken care of and had been faithful to the agreement they had made with this human. Otherwise, their civilization would surely have ended with a vengeance by this powerful individual.

Back then, Minos was only a level 99 Grandmaster and could already frighten everyone, so how powerful should he be now at level 112?

Along with this group chatting, the two envoys from The Enchanted Realm couldn't help but remember the rumors they had heard about Minos passing through their planet. They hadn't expected to meet such a strong human, even with the temporal distortion of their world in relation to Zocarro.

Now they both respected Minos even more, aware that they had to be loyal and helpful to him and his heirs in the future.

As much as they had plans to build wealth and one day return to their planet to give more companions the chance to come to Zocarro, they didn't intend to go against Minos.

Minos was aware of this and would limit none of these men. If they left one day to bring more people here from their planets, it would only benefit his own faction.

Minos could imagine that, even if he and his people didn't try, the faction would grow and become stronger and stronger over time.

All it would take was for Kendrick, Lily, and Hollie to lead well, and the future was guaranteed. It would only be a matter of time before the faction had more Generals and maybe one day an Elder in the guild.

While he was talking to this group, Ruth, Abby and Gloria were with their relatives. Abby heard from her parents how things had been for the Miller family since their departure, but also about Sarah and Rowan's situation.

Meanwhile, Gloria was with Zoe, her cousin, talking about her family alongside Hollie and Ivy.

Ruth heard about her parents from her sister, sighing in relief and regret at the same time. It was good to know that they were well, and that they were looking after Rowan, as well as Raiden. But it was sad for her to imagine that, when they finally came to Oqia, she would be in Uzira.

Minos had no estimate of when they would return to Oqia, but it was possible that it would take a few centuries to happen. As such, they would be a long time away from those left behind and even longer from those who had stayed in the Spiritual World or The Adamant Land.

"You must prepare to help them when I'm not here. As powerful as we are and in a good position at the moment, Oqia is dangerous, Talia." Ruth advised her sister. "Even Minos can't casually travel around this continent without considering the dangers. Keep that in mind."

"I will."

Meanwhile, Kendrick stood around some individuals who had come to Zocarro through the Champions Tournament.

He was amazed to hear about the tournament that had taken place on those two worlds, imagining how formidable the contest had been.

"Well, we'll plan your return to the Spiritual World in the future. For now, we'll let our companions who stayed behind grow up a bit and get ready to come here. But the four of you will return in the future to do what Vico and Callie did this time." Kendrick communicated to the four of them, taking on the role that had once been his father's.

Davy, Sibley, the dragon and Joan understood, not seeing a problem with it.

"When exactly will this be?" Joan asked.

Kendrick thought for a moment and said. "I'll give them until you all reach level 110. I'll make sure this group is stronger than the duo of Vico and Callie on this previous trip."

That would give them plenty of time on Zocarro, so the four of them didn't think it was bad, feeling that it would be more than enough for them to enjoy this world before they returned.

Meanwhile, Vico and Callie were with their old companions who stayed in Zocarro when they left, alongside the level 110 humans and Otis, the robot.

After hearing about the war and how the Spiritual World and The Adamant Land were doing, the two were surprised to hear that Maximillian was still alive and kicking.

"He went into seclusion right after the war and still hasn't left his cave... But at the moment, he's probably already at level 110, close to level 111," Otis said to Vico and Callie.

"What a tough guy. Even after all Minos' moves, he's lasted this long." The blue-haired woman smiled, curious to see Maximillian again.

Vico was thinking the same thing, but he wasn't as shocked as Callie. "For someone who has circumvented even time, it's not so strange that he resisted the war... But anyway, I think I'll take inspiration from Maximillian and start a long seclusion."

Callie looked at her blonde companion and thought fondly about the idea.

After their years of travel, it also tempted her to cultivate in seclusion.

"That's good. It might be interesting to cultivate for the next 40 years and prepare for Minos' departure," said one of the level 110 men.

"With the help of the faction leader, you can reach level 111 by the end of that interval..." Another of them said, before explaining about the evolution of Minos' powers and how the faction leader could help them with cultivation today.

Vico and Callie were excited by the possibilities, with both of them determined to get as strong as possible before Minos and his companions left.

Not only would Minos and his wives be leaving the continent for Oqia, but the faction as a whole had to prepare for a massive power departure.

The meeting would continue with similar conversations, mixed with laughter, memories and stories, something that would last for hours until it came to an end.

After today, everyone there would begin their adaptation to the guild and the start of this peaceful journey until the eventual departure of Minos and his group for Uzira!
