The Rise of the Black Plain

Minos looked at the group of the elf as he saw those beasts looking in the direction of the Central Continent's enemy teams.

"So, what will it be? You don't have to ally with me. As long as you retreat, I will owe you a favor. I'll pay you back when I go to Elves Island for the Continental Tournament." Minos proposed.

He especially disliked elves. Not only were they arrogant, but they also played with the fate of others.

But the previous incident in the Ancestral Sea would not prevent him from having friendly relations with some elves. Minos knew that in the fight against the future enemies of the Spiritual World, the elven tribe would be one of those who could help his group the most.

The elves were few in number. But even though there were only a few thousand of them, each elf had the potential to reach a high level, and many of them eventually became Demigods.

Ignoring them in a catastrophe would be foolish, and Minos was willing to work with them.

He added. "My empire will work to defend this world from the possible catastrophes in its path. You can charge me. I will welcome anyone who is willing to fight, and I will give what I can to feed these people."

Under normal circumstances, the whole group around Minos would ignore his words. After all, who could support even members of the elven tribe?

But Minos had just inherited the legacy of a level 100 dragon!

In known history, only 15 dragons had ever reached level 100. All of them were extremely wealthy, far more than some of the human Gods or even other beast races.

The dragon tribe was one of the oldest in the Spiritual World, and it had existed since the very beginning of the world when the cultivation level limit was level 60!

After the destruction of Panvuter, this remnant, later called the Spiritual World, was weaker than it is now because the cultivate-capable beings were not accustomed to the new cultivation laws. Until their descendants became accustomed to the new reality, they were limited to a shallow level of strength for a long time.

But even though they came from such a time, the Dragon Tribe had accumulated wealth ever since!

Thus, the wealth of a level 100 dragon could not be measured, and Minos' words were not questionable at all. If he wanted to, he really could support even elves!

This elf heard Minos' words and hesitated. As arrogant as they were, elves had one unique characteristic that even their greatest enemy had to recognize their importance. They were the guardians of nature, the beings most in tune with the cultivation laws of the Spiritual World.

They were the ones most concerned with maintaining the order of things and preventing a world disaster. At the same time, any changes in the world would reach the elves first, and they were usually the only ones who could be trusted to act for the world's good.

Many times in the past, the Spiritual World had experienced difficulties that nearly destroyed several ecosystems. But in all of these times of trouble, the elves had shown themselves willing to work for the good of the world.

But make no mistake. They did not do this for the sake of other races. They did it for the sake of the Spiritual World, the world that had blessed them with the most extreme abilities that could make even the strongest of them live long lives, sometimes over 320,000 years!

For this reason, the elf couldn't help but be touched to see this human with great talent and prospects set himself up as a Spiritual World warrior, willing to do anything to protect it.

"Very well, human, I will retreat with my group. But I have the Nature Laws as a witness to your words! If you go back on what you said, may you be struck by lightning!" She said as her eyes glowed an intense green.

After her words, a golden bolt of lightning appeared in the sky of that dimensional pocket, causing an intense sound capable of destroying the eardrums of cultivators without Soul Avatars.

Everyone there noticed this powerful lightning and the ridiculous abilities of these beings from the Elves Island, who could make treaties with beings of other races at will.

Minos had made promises, and she had quickly made the laws of this world validate a contract against him!

Minos bitterly laughed, but he had been sincere. If he did not fight for the Spiritual World in the future, it would be the same as giving up his life, becoming a slave, or being destroyed.

The two groups of humans from the Central Continent were furious when they saw that Minos had made two of the teams surrounding him and his people change sides with just his words.

But they still had most of the humans and Demigods there, so even though they feared Minos' monstrous abilities, they stood their ground.

The elf had nothing more to say and quickly retreated with her group, somewhat surprising her 4 allies from the Divine Continent.

"Syndra, was it worth it?" One of the Demigods asked the level 89 elf. "I think the legacy could have helped us a lot more than he will if he lives."

She said in a low voice as she left through one of the portals in the area. "That human is not simple. He had his destiny tied to one of my tribe members when he was weaker and had not yet received this inheritance... His potential is much greater than you think!"

As this group disappeared from the area, Minos turned his eyes to the western region men and women in the group of about 30.

The two foxes and the phoenix were not in their formation, but they already had enemies in mind and were ready to fight.

Seeing that the enemies would not back down even after his words, Minos gave up trying to talk with them and closed his eyes for a moment.

Then, he consciously used his new ability for the first time!

Dragon's Gaze!

All the humans of the two opposing groups saw Minos' eyes grow huge and felt as if they were small prey in front of the biggest predator of the Spiritual World.

Even the beasts allied with Minos felt pressure on their bodies at that moment, impressed by this human's inherited ability.

In a single moment, all the humans below level 90 felt very bad, as if they would faint.

But when Minos' cultivation level rose to level 85, everything changed, and several bodies fell from the sky, the weakest ones already dead.

Minos' ability was not simple. By raising his cultivation level, he immediately reached a new class that could significantly affect even level 91 enemies.

Even without fusion, Minos was able to defeat several 10th-stage opponents!
