The Rise of the Black Plain

Minos then put aside his doubts about the origin of these two Gods he had learned about in recent weeks to pay attention to the content in that place.

Knowing more of the mysteries behind such people could be interesting and even necessary. But at his level, Minos preferred not to get too involved in this.

Such a thing would not only be a waste of time since he did not have enough information to think of anything, but also an extra worry about something not related to him.

So, he turned his attention to the problem in front of him, something he could actually get involved in.

Among the inscriptions in that place were some essential points about the tomb and requirements for participating in the inheritance of the Goddess of Life. In addition to what Wilfred's mother had said, there was more specific information regarding what a candidate could expect when starting the test.

According to that information, upon reaching level 60, any interested candidate could come to this place and infuse their cultivation into the Goddess of Life statue. After doing so, the test would begin, and each competitor who met the requirements would be teleported into the Secret Tomb below that crypt.

In such a place, the candidates would have to go through some tests that could last up to a few months. So, there were also recommendations there for candidates to prepare themselves for the challenges of that!

Finally, although several people could dispute the inheritance of the Goddess of Life at the same time, only one could be granted the purpose of it. But supposedly, artifacts and other things were stored there for participants with a good performance to get something of value.

"Tsk!"

"It's not for nothing that King Walker got a little carried away..."

Minos muttered as he smiled at the possibilities of that place. 'But this is truly interesting. If there's something in that tomb, then it's likely that there are other inheritances around the Spiritual World.'

"Hmmm, I'll have to pay attention to that in the future!"

While King Stuart was watching that place with many ideas in his mind, Abby had a smile on her face, feeling that she could gain a lot there and still get closer to her man. She then commented to the people there, "I seem to feel a connection to this place. Do you all feel that? It's like that good feeling before a victory or something happy..."

"Oh?" Wilfred's mother looked at that blue-haired woman and smiled. "That's normal."

"Everyone who shares the genetic key to this place feels connected to what is here."

"We have no way of knowing for sure since this here was created by people of much higher levels than the elders of our family. But over the past 150,000 years, House Walker has done a lot of research into this heritage and has concluded that this feeling is nothing more than the genetic key telling us what to do."

"This is more or less similar to what happens to women when we reach a certain age or circumstances. Sooner or later, most of us will feel the biological clock ticking and will want to have children."

"That's basically a way for our genes, or nature, to make us desire reproduction, thus ensuring the continuation of the species."

"That genetic key is something like that. It not only allows us to participate in that inheritance but also creates a feeling of need to stimulate us to complete the inheritance."

"That feeling will increase as you get closer to level 60..." She said in a slightly lower tone, feeling that, in a way, this had also been responsible for her late husband's rush.

"I don't feel any of that..." Minos smiled and said, finding his abnormality interesting. "Will I be able to take the test?"

"What? You don't feel it?" Blake asked with a strange expression.

In truth, neither of them thought that Minos and Abby would end up on the list of candidates for that position. After all, if these two had discovered the previous map at the headquarters of another organization, it was to be expected that the owners of the key would be the dead assassins in that place.

But mysteriously, both Abby and Minos could see the special instructions in that crypt, which only inheritance candidates could do.

Thinking about it, the new king of this state could not help but be surprised at Minos' 'irregular' situation.

"I feel this is an ordinary place, but without the danger of the unknown. Other than that, I feel no sympathy or compatibility." He was sincere as he looked at the female statue in front of him.

"That's strange..." Wilfred's mother commented. "But since you can see those instructions, you are a candidate. So, I don't think there will be any problems."

After that, they talked for some time until Minos finalized the subject. "Well, we're nowhere near level 60 anyway, so let's leave that subject for another time."

After taking one of Abby's hands and starting to move towards the exit of the crypt, Minos looked at those people and said. "I feel that what is here may be valuable to your Walker family, and I don't want just to take everything that is here for myself for no reason."

"You have already paid and are still paying for your crimes in various ways. Therefore, there is no reason for me to use your past mistakes to take this place."

The eyes of those four sparkled at Minos' words, with signs of hope arising in their hearts. "As such, I wish you good luck in reaching level 60 before Abby does. If that happens, I will not stop you from taking that test before her..." He laughed.

"If that doesn't happen, I will give you a year after Abby reaches level 60. That will be the time for one of you to become a Spiritual Emperor and participate in that inheritance with me and her."

"After that, we will take the test ourselves and clean this place up!" He said confidently.

He had no way of knowing what was in the Secret Tomb, nor whether he and Abby would be able to complete the inheritance. But one way or another, if he went into that place beside his woman, those people could forget about getting things from there!

"That..." Those four people looked at each other quickly, feeling that Minos was playing with their hearts.

'How are we going to do that? Even William, who was at the peak of the 6th stage, failed, but I'm only at level 57, and I'm not even 50% as talented as he was!' Wilfred's mother thought about it with a feeling of defeat.

'Besides, this young lady is only 25 and is already at level 54!'

'How will I get to level 60 before she does?'

'Impossible!'

"We'll do our best, Your Majesty." Blake said, feeling that there was no other alternative but to hope that one of them would succeed in becoming a Spiritual Emperor.

"Hmmm, good luck." Minos laughed before bidding them farewell. "Well, I'll rest for two nights in this city of yours. But don't bother too much with us. We don't want to see anyone who isn't invited."

"All right?"

"OK!" They simultaneously said until Minos disappeared among the corridors of the royal palace, proceeding to the room that had already been prepared for him and Abby.

Meanwhile, those four people looked at each other again, standing in front of the entrance to that crypt. "What shall we do, mother?" Wilfred asked in a defeated tone.

"There are no alternatives here but for one of the three of us to reach level 60 within the interval given by him."

"Sigh..."

"How long exactly do we have? A decade?" The Queen Mother asked.

Blake then shook his head in denial at his mother's question. "From her age and cultivation, I guess we have between 5 and 7 years at most."

Wilfred's mother added. "Then we have to get it in that time frame!"

"How?" Wilfred questioned, feeling that it was impossible.

"It shouldn't be hard for me to get to level 58 in the next few months. The problem will come after that... In any case, even if I use pills to force an advance to level 59, I think you guys will still have a better chance than me of breaking the regional cultivation barrier."

"I know you are only at level 53, but if we use some medicines and pills, getting you to level 59 shouldn't be that difficult. The problem of all will be advancing to the 7th stage..." She sighed after saying that.

That was not an alternative that regional organizations would use as it could very well hurt the family's financial reserves greatly and was sure to damage the cultivation foundation of people who used such methods.

But in that woman's view, this was their only alternative!

"Wilfred, you are a bit stronger than Blake in terms of cultivation and already have your combat proficiency impaired due to your missing arm. So, we'll focus on you as the first option regarding that."

"All right, mother!" Wilfred said with a smile on his face, not caring if that could damage his foundation.

He no longer had expectations of being a great fighter. So, having the chance to reach level 60 and get some of the treasures in the local inheritance was already very good for him.

Thus, he did not feel bad about his mother's suggestion!

"Well, let's go back and make our preparations."

"The most important thing of all is that the family gets something out of all this!" She said to the two brothers, demonstrating some of what it meant to act for the organization's good.
