The Rise of the Black Plain

After all those people disappeared above the yacht, Minos returned to the deck, feeling a little tired from simultaneously sending so many into the Spatial Kingdom.

But he checked his surroundings for unwanted observers before focusing his attention back on the people in his group.

'Hmm, no one powerful around.' He thought.

Minos had checked this moments ago, but it was good to repeat his check just in case!

He then looked at the other Spiritual Emperors there waiting to be sent out and said. "We will continue with our arrangements, and in three hours, I'll send another group.

All right, for now, don't rush.

I'll regain some of my energy, and we'll start again in a moment."

...

Meanwhile, inside the Spatial Kingdom...

Suddenly, hundreds of people appeared in the place in front of the lake house, where Minos had already warned his people in the Spatial Kingdom not to occupy this space.

The moment she saw so many people appearing there, Emlyn merely raised her head and looked for a second in that direction before closing her eyes again.

She was currently at level 77 but was very close to an advance to level 78!

As soon as she realized that Minos was probably already returning to the Central Continent, she closed her eyes and went back to meditating.

Meanwhile, Kyla got up from where she was standing and ran to those people, curious to see the first hybrids of her life.

She was currently at level 75, but with fewer responsibilities than her mother to worry about, she ran to where Kendrick and Sarah were already watching those many newcomers.

Kendrick had progressed considerably in his first year cultivating, and having recently turned 11, he was at level 26.

Sarah was at level 64, and as she looked at several of those beings between levels 60 and 70, she frowned, not expecting that the first to arrive would be Spiritual Emperors.

"Where are the Saints and Sages my father said would be coming here?" She questioned, attracting the attention of her little brother and Kyla.

"I don't know." This fox, already in her beautiful humanoid form, said to Sarah, whom she treated like a sister.

Abby and Isabella were already outside that lake house, both smiling, for this was a sign that soon Minos would be back in Dry City.

"There must be many people for your father to send here. He will do it slowly, Sarah." Abby, currently at level 79, said as she looked at the many people.

They were all looking from one side to the other and smiling amidst the glorious feeling of being in the Spatial Kingdom.

Isabella was also currently at level 79 and smiled as she saw those different people, hybrids, pure humans, and some beasts, react to this place pretty much the same way.

"Welcome to the Spatial Kingdom of the Stuart family." She said with open arms to welcome them.

Soon those newcomers began to fraternize with those who were in the Spatial Kingdom during Minos' journey to the Divine Continent.

But soon, many would realize that in addition to the high-level medicines they had expected to find, giant bones and a large corpse that no one expected to find were also there.

"What the fuck! What is that?" Someone asked as they all looked at that gigantic being, which was more and more covered by the adjacent vegetation every day.

...

In the next few hours, Minos would send two more groups of people, bringing the total to over a thousand people sent to the Spatial Kingdom.

This would make plenty of room for the people sailing alongside him in the East Sea, but there were still more beings on his yacht than it could hold.

After one more rest, Minos would finish making seals that would ensure that these beings would not betray him or talk about the Spatial Kingdom with others.

When he sent the last group to the Spatial Kingdom, Minos was finally alone on his ship with those who would control his yacht for the next few months of travel.

He had also already placed seals on these people, but they would not go to the Spatial Kingdom until they reached the Central Continent.

Until then, they would take care of the activities that Minos and Starclaw had shared on their journey to the Divine Continent, which would allow them both to take time off to rest and cultivate.

The journey ahead was long and tortuous, but with the strongest Spiritual Sages having stayed behind to join the crew of this yacht, few worries would affect Minos and Starclaw in the coming weeks.

This time, the journey between the Divine Continent and the Central Continent would take 10 weeks, with fewer confrontations and incidents than on the outward journey, giving Minos plenty of peace to cultivate.

With the chaotic energy coming from the bone in the Spatial Kingdom that had his seal, all this time, he would cultivate in seclusion in a cultivation room of his yacht, not advancing, obviously, but becoming stronger.

By the end of this trip, when Minos finally left his cultivation room, he had reached the middle of level 80!

In about another year and a half, he felt he could advance to level 81!

With that in mind, he stepped out from inside the yacht and went on deck, from where without delay, he saw the silhouette of the northeastern Central Continent.

"We're finally back." He remarked as the staff of the Longus family part of that crew observed the lands from which their family had departed hundreds of thousands of years ago.

In all this time, they had never returned to this place, so upon seeing it for the first time in their lives, several of them stopped momentarily to admire it.

Weak or strong, this place meant a lot to them. This was where their ancestor, a God, had battled countless struggles and reached the peak of cultivation!

"What shall we do now, Your Majesty?" One of those distant descendants of Henricus Longus asked Minos.

"We will dock at the largest city in the Snow region. Starclaw, direct them." Minos said as he looked at this beast, the only one there who knew where the capital of the ancient Snow Kingdom was.

"From that place, we will travel through my network of wormholes to my capital, Dry City!"

With Starclaw's directions, an hour later, Minos' yacht would dock in the local harbor, where no one from the local forces was expecting the arrival of their sovereign this afternoon.

When their group docked in the harbor and got off their yacht, the whole place immediately realized that Minos had returned from yet another victory and with new allies!
