The Rise of the Black Plain

"Congratulations. Having your first heir is quite an accomplishment." Gavin Rowse, level 70, commented to Minos as he stood in that local royal throne hall away from everyone else since he was not very sociable.

"Hmm, thanks." Minos nodded as he greeted the people in the surrounding area by waving his hands and smiling.

Gavin, this fellow with blood-red hair and unique eyes, looked silently at Minos, feeling quite a respect for this person.

But this was not because Minos had become a father before him. No, as much as Gavin recognized King Stuart's achievement, he had no desire to have a family. So that would not be what would make him respect someone.

What impressed him about Minos was the cultivation speed of this man, who had quickly reached level 65 and surpassed him in terms of combat proficiency.

Previously, Minos had only managed to beat Gavin by using one of his spiritual technique fusions. But currently, as this red-haired fellow had discovered months ago, King Stuart could defeat him just by using his ordinary techniques.

That was when such a fellow was at level 64. But now he was at level 65!

That way, since Minos was so strong, the man with the Eyes of Destruction admired this king and could not help but ask. "How long before we act against the Saints Killing Sect?"

Minos heard this and did not change his expression, not stopping receiving the congratulations of the local experts.

"About five years. Maybe less." He replied as he considered how long it would take to reach the peak of the 7th stage when he would be best prepared to fight that sect.

'5 years? I think I can reach level 73 by then.' Gavin pondered this, feeling that it would be insufficient if it were just him. But since Minos was by his side, it was quite possible that he was going to get his dream revenge.

Minos had the fusions of his techniques, which could generate powers far more destructive than his ordinary abilities. At the same time, Gavin had already experienced the Dark Sea, King Stuart's soul ability, something terrifying.

But not only that, Minos had the Black Plain and many allies in the alliance of the four enemy states of the Flaming Empire and the Gray Clouds Sect. So in this fellow's view, it was quite possible that they could win in five years.

'People outside this region give nothing for the Black Plain, but that's because they don't know how fast these people advance.' His eyes narrowed.

He did not underestimate the Black Plain and did not think that Vogel being part of the Stuart family's domain gave that state more weight over this matter.

After Minos' return, he created a new high-level cultivation room in Dry City using that black hole, which was shocking to even Gavin.

To get a sense of how relevant this was, Gavin had never entered the Spatial Kingdom. Still, he had reached the 8th stage just by cultivating in this region... The reason for this? The special cultivation room that was nourished by that black hole!

So this red-haired man did not underestimate the local forces and felt that having the Black Plain Army against the Saints Killing Sect would be of great help to him.

After speaking with Minos for a few more moments, he returned to the cultivation room in question, focused on strengthening himself for the long-awaited moment.

On the other hand, King Stuart continued in that place, talking to some important people in his army.

"Alina, you will soon advance a step and be able to take your innate ability to new heights." He tapped one of the shoulders of a woman in an army uniform, pleased with her progress.

It was because of this person's disintegration ability that the Black Plain Army had been able to produce all kinds of artifacts for the soldiers over the past few years.

Considering how much they needed high-level weapons, this woman's advancements were more critical than ever. Thus, there was no way King Stuart could not speak with satisfaction to this person.

"Leave it to me, Your Grace. I will do my best when I am cultivating to advance as soon as possible." She said with a twinkle in her eyes, overjoyed by her progress within the army.

Alina had started chasing the goal of entering this organization when she was below level 30. So considering the position she was in today and her family, she could only thank Minos and work hard for the army.

But she was also delighted to be one of the few Spiritual Kings in the army to have a chance to go over there to congratulate Minos on the birth of little Sarah.

"Mia, are you pregnant again?" Minos asked aloud, laughing as he looked in the direction of that woman who was previously his secretary.

Mia Freeman, level 57, wife of Peter Freeman, level 61, was standing next to her husband, a former acquaintance of Minos from the time of the Spiritual Tournament, one of the current Dukes of the Black Plain.

"Hmm, we were lucky enough to get pregnant again, Your Grace." This woman said as Peter smiled in satisfaction.

He already had a daughter with Mia, but now he would have his first son, which satisfied him immensely.

"Your Grace, congratulations on the birth of little Sarah. I am sure she will be very talented." He said as people in the surrounding area could not wait to see the princess growing up.

A royal family would not be complete until its first heir was born. So everyone who was part of that government or state was happy about Sarah's birth, wondering what the future would be like.

Considering the talents of Minos and Gloria, no one there doubted how far that little one could go in the future!

And so the celebratory festivities spread from the local royal palace to all of Dry City on what had been proclaimed a national holiday.

In this way, many people outside the core of Dry City, where the local dome was, were partying in the streets, drinking, and taking the day off to celebrate yet another local progress.

So when some visitors from outside the region arrived in the area where the majestic Dry City was, they soon realized that today was no ordinary day in this place.

The noise of the festivities was reaching distances of several kilometers from that urban area. At the same time, bonfires could be seen on many streets of that city.

It was night in this part of the Central Continent, and when the newcomers got close enough to this place, they quickly noticed these signs.

"Did something happen? What is the reason for so much celebration?" A man sent by the emperor questioned his colleagues.

Meanwhile, a brown-haired woman in the distance was not slow to understand what the meaning of it all was.

"My granddaughter has been born!" Maisie expressed her feelings aloud before flying at high speed to one of the entrances to Dry City.
