The Rise of the Black Plain

The two days that Minos' group had planned to spend in The Adamant Land passed, with the group learning the most important points about the planet's current situation.

The recovery of the planet's infrastructure was going well and every week more natives of the Spiritual World, mostly humans, arrived on the planet to speed up the establishment of their civilization there.

Since the domination of the four planets, when Minos and his companions guaranteed those civilizations would follow their rules, no being from one of those four worlds had come to The Adamant Land. On the other hand, none of the new inhabitants of this planet had tried to contact those civilizations.

Other than that, local forces had been establishing themselves, with groups not led by the army gaining their property through the laws created by Minos.

The Black Plain Empire owned 100% of The Adamant Land. Minos made this clear to the forces of his world. But buying land there wouldn't be extravagantly expensive. The price of the land would cost about the same as land in the Spiritual World, but the buyers would have to do something more to buy it. They had to take part in the planet's reconstruction and follow the rules of Minos in these purchased territories.

Thus, many wealthy men from the Spiritual World were migrating to this planet and establishing stores, restaurants, cultivation sites, as well as the first sects were springing up.

It would take a long time for the place to resemble the reality of the home world for the new inhabitants, but Minos' group was certain that, eventually, the place would be completely converted into a second Spiritual World.

With the conclusion of their two-day stay, it was now time for the group to embark on their thrilling journey through space.

...

"It is now the moment to bid our farewells and depart from this place." Minos' voice resonated with power as he addressed his people, capturing their full attention. "Work together and don't weaken. Those who help the empire prosper can be given the same chance that Vico and Callie are currently receiving." He showed to the two Gods beside him, while his spaceship was right behind him, with its entrance open.

"In a few decades, probably less than a century, Vico and Callie will return to pick up some people from my family and take them to Zocarro. In the meantime, I'll do my best to take two to four of the soldiers who have done the most good during that time."

Minos made the men left behind even more committed to becoming stronger and working for the success of the empire.

Waving goodbye, he smiled and made his way to the ramp of his spaceship, with his companions congratulating him on motivating his subordinates, even though he was leaving with no intention of returning.

As soon as everyone in the group had boarded the spaceship, they settled into their designated seats, eagerly awaiting their departure. The level 103 robot efficiently started the ship's various devices, ensuring a smooth takeoff.

The group all sat in their places, preparing for their departure through the atmosphere of this planet, since the universal wormhole they would take to continue their journey to Nemo Colony was a few days away from the planet.

The spaceship flew faster and faster, making those who had never experienced it feel their hearts flutter with excitement, with only Minos and those who had come from Zocarro remaining unaffected.

In the next 12 minutes, the group would leave the atmosphere of The Adamant Land, reaching a point where the entire group could observe the gray planet they had just left, as they passed close to the Hall of Gods.

With the authorization of the level 103 robot, the passengers left their seats to observe the beautiful space of the universe, as another journey began for Minos' group.

He positioned himself to look out for potential spatial and temporal distortions in the group's path, aware the biggest problems would be after Nemo Colony, but already on the lookout since their departure.

'We're finally back on the road,' thought one Sovereigns, while Minos' wives and children chatted amongst themselves.

"You'd all better start cultivating. We'll be facing more dangers soon, so use the opportunity to meditate quietly while you can," Minos warned his children, in particular.

Seeing Kendrick and the girls stop chatting and move into the cultivation room of their small spaceship, Minos turned his attention to his next steps.

'After I secure an agreement with the civilization behind this spaceship, I will begin our journey to my supervisor's planet.' He remembered the advice of the Armhands member who had invited him to the guild.

In a year and a half from now, I will embark on my journey to the next stage.'

...

The journey of Minos and his group unfolded over a few months, with their group entering the wormhole closest to The Adamant Land and making their entire journey through it.

The group experienced a quick pace throughout, as they dedicated the majority of their time over the past few months to cultivating as much as possible.

No problems capable of worrying the group have hindered them in these months, with them finally getting close to their first stop in the galaxy today, on the planet where Minos had borrowed the group's current spaceship about 3 years ago.

Seeing that planet was home to one of the strongest civilizations in this galaxy, which had low-level Sovereigns in its ranks, the level 103 robot directed the spaceship to that planet, where the universal wormhole that would take them to Nemo Colony was located.

Soon the entire group would leave their meditations to take their seats, with their spaceship re-entering the atmosphere of another planet since leaving The Adamant Land.

They intended to stay for a week to complete their objectives in this galaxy before leaving for Nemo Colony, the most extreme point in the galaxy, from where they could continue their journey to Zocarro.
