The Rise of the Black Plain

"If it's just that, I don't see a problem," Aarav commented as he looked at the rest of the group. "But Minos, if you really want to do this, be careful and don't speak unless asked. As much as high-level experts don't look at juniors like you with the intention of acting without reason, you're way off the mark.

The slightest slip on your part could cause someone powerful to look at you differently and treat you as someone to be eliminated."

"Hmmm," Charlotte commented. "You're probably safe if you're with us or elder Julian. But you could get into trouble if you're not with us. So you should be careful in this encounter."

A level 94 Demigod said. "If you want to go on this encounter, you'd better go with as few companions as possible. And definitely don't go with your wives."

That Demigod didn't know about the magnificent fusion that Abby was capable of, nor did he know about Ruth's Divine Physique. What motivated him to make that comment was something simpler.

Historically, women have caused problems because of their beauty and charm. Even without meaning to, one of these women might catch the eye of one of the experts who would be meeting at that event.

And hell, they would be the strongest beings in the world. If one of them took a liking to one of Minos' women, there could be endless problems.

To avoid this kind of situation, a kind of situation that was made famous by the stories that circulated in the Spiritual World, that Demigod advised Minos.

In most of the world, no one would think bad things of other people's wives. And since most people didn't have the power to do anything vile against the Stuart family, the chances of something like that happening were slim. But in a place where there were people of the highest level and from many different races, powers, and organizations, the chances of such a thing happening would increase significantly.

Minos knew how the world worked, and even though he didn't have the same thing in mind as that Demigod, he agreed that it would be better to leave his wives to cultivate in seclusion in this city while he went to the meeting led by the elves.

"Hmm, I'll just take Nymmas, Niamh and Louis." Minos gestured to the dragon, the Sea Folk woman and the strongest mercenary in his party.

All three agreed to accompany him on the journey, eager to see the gathering of the Spiritual World's strongest experts.

As for the others, Minos looked at them and said. "Take advantage of the half-time to train in good cultivation halls in this city. Take advantage of the benefits of being a member of the Pantheon of Honor.

Until the organization's leadership decides to judge my request, it's best that no one from the group leaves this city."

"Okay." Gloria and several others who were with Minos agreed.

Aarav said to them. "By the time Minos returns, we'll probably already have a decision on this matter of the Gorgons. Then, you'll probably be free to come and go on our continent without having to risk too much because of them."

Everyone heard this and understood they wouldn't have to stay stuck in this city for long.

With that said, Minos' group soon split up, with the remaining beasts going in different directions and his wives staying behind to follow the lead of Charlotte, who had willingly volunteered to help them.

As Minos' wives, they were the ones who could most use the benefits of his membership in the Pantheon of Honor.

Meanwhile, Aarav saw Minos finish saying goodbye to his wives and the faction group and said. "Are you ready? I will open a wormhole for you and your group that should reach Julian's camp. You will reach their position in no time."

"Thank you, elder. And yes, we're ready." Minos said as he saw his three companions in their humanoid form waving at him.

The four of them entered the wormhole opened by Aarav and flew through this region of space, heading towards the final position of this tunnel, which wasn't particularly large.

The stronger the cultivator, the shorter the length of the wormhole tunnel for the same distance.

Thus, in a few seconds, Minos and his three companions quickly crossed a large part of the Divine Continent and arrived at a place that was between the three states of these lands.

As they crossed the wormhole's exit created by Aarav, they immediately came upon a forested area where a small camp had been set up.

Before they had even scanned their surroundings, they were already noticed, and a level 95 person immediately appeared in front of them to question them, his aura already pressing toward them.

"Elder, we are here in the name of the Pantheon of Honor!" Minos shouted at the man before showing him the symbol of the organization. "We are here for elder Julian. I am Minos Stuart, a member of Julian's faction."

Before the level 95 man had even opened his mouth to speak, Minos had already said all there was to answer the expert's questions.

"Oh? Minos Stuart?" He lowered his aura, already knowing the name, as this was the young man his Uncle Julian had been talking about for years within the Kleinmann family.

Before he could ask any more questions and try to get to know the genius his uncle cared so much about, Julian himself came out of one of the surrounding tents, surprised that Minos had appeared there.

"Minos! Are you back?" He exclaimed as he walked towards Minos, seeing his three companions, but not too surprised.

"It looks like things have been going well for you, huh? Level 84 cultivation and Demigods as companions... That's not bad!" He exclaimed as he patted Minos on the shoulder with both hands, quite pleased with all the progress the young man had made.

"Minos Stuart, who sent you here? Was it Aarav?" Julian's level 95 nephew asked as the rest of the group, four other people, two women, and two men, all mid-level demigods, looked on.

"Yes. Elder Aarav sent me here. I've just arrived on the continent and spent some time talking to him and the rest of the faction before coming here. I'd like to join elder Julian's group for the meeting with the world leaders." Minos replied without delay, making his intentions clear to everyone present.

"Would you like to accompany me?" Julian controlled his excitement about the matter. "Why is that? More importantly, what happened to you?"

Minos sighed and told for the third time that day a part of his latest story.
