The Rise of the Black Plain

A few more days passed, and it was time for Minos' group to leave the Spiritual World!

That morning, Vico, Callie, Minos, Ruth, Abby, Gloria, Kendrick, Lily, Hollie and the four Sovereigns gathered in the Dry City, coming face to face with the leaders of the state and their allies, as well as the rest of the Stuart family who would stay behind.

The farewell wasn't long, and there weren't many tears. Everyone there had been preparing for this moment for weeks. Today they merely stood in front of each other for the last time in a long time, each side wishing the other good luck.

Rowan and Sarah stayed behind with their grandparents and many advisors, as well as 20 10th stage robots, while Minos and the strongest of the world left through a wormhole to the North Sea.

Now everything differed from the last time they left, so this was a much happier moment than a sad one, the start of new journeys for both those left behind and those leaving.

...

Not long after leaving the Dry City, Minos' group reached the North Sea, while Kendrick and his sisters smiled with anticipation.

As they neared the area where the quasi-Spatial Kingdom that protected the exit from the Spiritual World to The Adamant Land stood, they came across a group of soldiers stationed in that area.

In that part of the North Sea, four ships and two spaceships were stationed nearby, keeping control of this important place for the planet.

Only Demigods were there, each of them subordinates of Minos, members of the newest squadron responsible for handling the control of people entering and leaving the planet.

"Your Majesties."

The men in the vicinity made gestures of greeting simultaneously, while respectfully looking at Minos and his wives, each of these men full of respect for Minos in their hearts.

They also had great respect for Abby, Gloria, Ruth, the Gods and Sovereigns in Minos' group. But no one could compare to the figure of the brown-haired emperor, who was dressed in dark golden space armor.

"Good luck with your duties. I hope that one day you'll command posts like this all over the galaxy." Minos said before passing the entrance to his quasi-Spatial Kingdom. "I'm going to continue my journey. But I'll leave some contacts to help you before I leave the galaxy."

"Thank you for your efforts, Your Majesty!"

The group was soon inside the quasi-Spatial Kingdom, where the group's modern spaceship was waiting for them to continue their journey.

Within less than five minutes of arriving, the level 103 robot would take command of the group's spaceship, departing from the world without delay as it crossed the spatial distortion in that special area.

As they entered the universal wormhole between the Spiritual World and The Adamant Land, the people traveling for the first time couldn't help but start chatting about the journey ahead with their family and friends.

Kendrick and his sisters went to Ruth's side to talk to her about the journey ahead, while Callie stood next to Vico and the levels 102 and 103 Sovereigns.

She asked one of them. "How long will we be traveling before we reach Zocarro?"

"Who can say for sure? If we were to rush there, it would probably take us five or six years. But we'll stop halfway so that His Majesty can advance a stage. That could make our journey last much longer than that," said the level 103 Sovereign.

"Why? For someone like Minos, your next advance should be something easy, shouldn't it?" Vico asked.

As much as they had learned many things in the last two years of access to Minos, there were things they didn't know.

"That I don't know. But he himself said his advance will take longer than we can expect," said the level 103 Sovereign, looking at Minos, who was standing next to Abby and Gloria, talking about other things.

'He must have gotten something from Zocarro.' Vico thought to himself, feeling Minos' next advance would make this young man even more monstrous.

"Sigh! Anyway, get ready for a journey of at least a decade. We'll still be making stops in The Adamant Land's home galaxy to ensure the safety of the empire's expansion plans, so it's going to be a long journey," said one of the two level 102 Sovereigns.

"Fortunately, we'll soon be able to go back to cultivation to get stronger," remarked the other level 102 individual, eager to get stronger again.

"Speaking of getting stronger, have you left any inheritance in the Spiritual World to give future young talents a chance to grow?" Callie remembered this subject.

Many of them, including Minos, had grown up because of opportunities and inheritances they had received along their journeys, chances of fate related to ancient experts from the Spiritual World.

Expert cultivators often lived so long, accumulated so much wealth, only to die in the end because they couldn't strengthen any further. Most of them, eventually, left special places, heirlooms to keep part of themselves alive after their deaths, but also passing on items and resources that were once important to them.

Certain resources, such as pills, didn't spoil over time. Some lost a little of their properties if left for tens of thousands of years in extreme conditions, but there were even resources that became more powerful over time. Even things of a low level for people as strong as them could be precious treasures for others.

Callie had left her heritage in her sect, but unfortunately, she hadn't managed to create a stable enough Spatial Kingdom to benefit her people in the long run.

Vico said. "I left something to the government of my state, but I didn't create a Spatial Kingdom. Unfortunately, I don't have the same ability as Minos to create stable space regions at the speed he can."

The three Sovereigns heard this and smiled. They had created quite complex inheritances and left behind their own Spatial Kingdoms to help their families and also to help their future heirs.
