The Rise of the Black Plain

After listening to Minos' answer, the two superiors couldn't disagree with his words. It was a fact that his talent and potential would not change with this journey. At most, he would spend more time at the same level, or even if he advanced, he would spend more time at level 100. But when he returned, his progress would be the same as it was now.

The big difference was that during this time, his friends and rivals in the guild might get stronger faster than him, which might cause some problems for him when he returned. Another problem was that these two wouldn't benefit from Minos' growth until he returned.

"Sigh. If you're really determined, then go ahead," the man who had brought Minos to this guild said. "When the time comes, we'll deal with the problems together."

Rhett knew he couldn't convince Minos otherwise, so he asked. "Do you think you'll get to level 100 before you come back here?"

"I think so." Minos lied.

He had no intention of advancing to level 100 in the Spiritual World. Why was that? Simply because of what would happen when he became a Sovereign.

He would be taken to a place where he would undergo the Millennium Massacre, which, although it took place in a dimension where time passed differently, would certainly take a long time for the people outside such a dimension.

He didn't want to go to such a place while he was in the Spiritual World. It could greatly delay his plans for his family.

His goal was to solve the Spiritual World problems and bring his family to Zocarro. After that, he would move on, giving his companions a chance to grow up in that glorious world while he participated in the Millennium Massacre.

"But I'm not 100% sure. Although I'm not far from my breakthrough, the Spiritual World is much weaker than Zocarro. I might not be able to advance there... Either way, I'll try."

"If you can't advance, that's fine. But be careful when you return to the guild. Maybe you should stop somewhere good to cultivate to level 100 before coming to the headquarters." Rhett instructed.

The level 108 person said. "I've studied your travel plans to the Spiritual World a bit. It might be interesting for you to visit my galaxy when you return here.

If you're already advanced by then, just ignore it. But if you're still at level 99, try to stop by this place." He handed Minos a star map showing the location of this alien's galaxy.

Minos immediately recognized the route he had planned, which passed very close to the location of this senior's galaxy.

The alien explained, "My galaxy isn't as strong as where we are, but there are Sovereigns there. The limit of that area is level 114.

But the interesting thing about my galaxy that I want to point out to you is that time passes faster there than where we are, at a ratio of 1:10. Then years there is the equivalent of one year here.

So it might be interesting for you to go to my galaxy, find a suitable planet, go into seclusion with your companions, and meditate until you improve by one or two levels. Then return to the guild."

Minos was immediately grateful for the information and advice.

It was worth a lot!

Usually, aliens like this level 108 guy would keep their origin a secret to prevent aliens from other galaxies from entering their territory. So, this Sovereign was doing Minos a great favor.

But even when he heard this, Minos didn't suspect his superior. In other words, one might find it strange that such a place existed and yet such a being chose to live on Zocarro. If time went faster in his galaxy, wouldn't it be interesting for him to leave Zocarro, go to his world, and then come back when he was at level 114?

But things weren't that simple. The passage of time was variable throughout the universe. But not the life expectancy of living beings. If you spent a thousand years in one place, you would have a thousand years less life expectancy. Even if they later went to another place where time passed differently, their thousand years of experience would be the same.

Staying in a weaker place where time passes faster could be a way for you to become stronger, but it could also be a way for your life expectancy to be used up quickly.

For someone like this level 108 Sovereign, that wasn't interesting. He could advance in Zocarro without wasting his life years.

However, for Minos, this strategy might pay off because of two factors. First, this human was young. Going to a world where his life expectancy would be rapidly depleted would not be a great loss to him. Second, he was a member of a competitive organization. His rivals might even cause his death if he didn't advance quickly. Therefore, he would have to keep an eye on his cultivation speed while he was away from Zocarro, as well as his level after he returned.

For these two points, it would be worthwhile for Minos to go to his superior's galaxy!

After Minos thanked him, the alien gave the human a few tips for when Emperor Stuart visited this galaxy.

"The worlds of my galaxy are perfect for cultivation, but because of that, there are many territories with owners. Be careful with them. The Sovereigns there are not as strong as those on Zocarro, but the difference is not that great. The high-level Sovereigns there can definitely kill you.

However, if you stay out of trouble and try to keep a low profile, your chances of finding a good place for you and your group to advance a few levels quickly will be good.

Even though my galaxy is weaker, there are still plenty of opportunities for Grandmasters or low-level Sovereigns."

Minos talked a bit more with his two superiors, getting advice on what he should do when he returned to the guild, both to avoid trouble with the organization and with his rivals.

They also advised him on how Minos could more easily bring his family members into Armhands upon his return without them having to go through the usual selection process.

Anyway, their meeting would soon be over, and Minos would return to his apartment to get some rest.
