The Rise of the Black Plain

Two more years have passed while the party has been traveling through the vast space of the universe!

After a long journey from the Dream Station, facing various challenges related to long journeys through the universe, and being stuck in the spaceship they were traveling in for a long time, the group was about to reach their destination.

After over 60 years of traveling through the universe, the group would arrive at the Artificial Moon today!

...

All of Minos' companions were in their seats as the spaceship, similar to Starship 666, made its approach to the spaceport of the Artificial Moon.

Back on this artificial object built by the forces of Zocarro, about a million kilometers away from the plin question, Minos, Ruth and the other four who had left decades ago couldn't help but smile at finally arriving there.

They had often doubted they would ever be able to return, as they had encountered many problems during their journeys back and forth, as well as during their stay in The Enchanted Realm.

But apart from them, their eight companions also had smiles on their faces. This was the first tthey had arrived in such a powerful area of the universe, and they all were eager to experience a world of cultivation where Suprbeings existed.

This was the case with Grisdi, who even after all her problems with Kendrick in the past and her reluctance to cwith the group to Zocarro, couldn't help but show her eagerness in the smile on her face.

Kendrick saw the humanoid face of this woman, who was in a human form similar to theirs, and preferring not to clash with the group's appearance, he couldn't help but smile as well.

After all, this woman had feelings just like them.

The moment the spaceship cto a complete stop at the port of the Artificial Moon, the voice of the ship's captain sounded, welcoming the group of about 300 passengers who had traveled to this last point of their journey.

Minos rose from his seat and warned his companions. "We must hurry. It will take us several months to make our way to Zocarro. If we let the people from this and other ships get ahead of us, we may have to wait much longer."

"How long might we have to wait?" Lily asked.

Ruth replied. "Given the size of our group, it could take more than a year for all of us to be transported to Ganaway Refuge."

"Ganaway Refuge? Is that the island where we have to take a boat to Oqia?" Kendrick asked, with sof the group looking at Minos and Ruth.

Minos nodded positively. "Yes, there are plenty of opportunities there, so those of you who get there should start stabilizing your cultivation bases."

Meanwhile, they had already left the spaceship behind, following in the footsteps of the six people who had been there before and knew the way to the counter to buy their tickets to Ganaway Refuge.

Halfway there, the robot advised Kendrick and the others. "For those of you who have never experienced instant transportation, it will be good to spend a few months adapting here on the artificial moon. Otherwise, you won't be able to make the trip to Zocarro."

Immediately after the level 107 robot spoke, they reached one of the officials in the area to get their seats for Ganaway Refuge as soon as possible.

In no time, Minos paid for the transportation of the 14 members of the group, guaranteeing the departure of the first three to Ganaway Refuge in 167 days, and the last group of 2 people with a trip scheduled for 343 days from the first departure.

With the tickets in hand, Minos divided his group according to what he thought made the most sense. A team with people who had been to Ganaway Refuge before would go first and another, who had also been to the Artificial Moon before, would stay behind to be the last to move.

That way, those who stayed on the Artificial Moon could count on the support of people who knew the area, and those who went to Ganaway Refuge in the middle of the journey would have allies in the area they could count on.

The first three to leave would be the three level 107 humans, while the last two to leave would be Minos and Abby.

On the other journeys, they would always try to put stronger and weaker members of the group together to make sure everything went well.

With that settled, Minos would lead his team across the Artificial Moon, looking for places for his 8 companions who had never traveled by instant transport to train their bodies. They would also look for places to trade the resources they had with them, which Minos believed would be more valuable on the Artificial Moon than on Zocarro.

In addition, it was important to have a good place to stay for the next few months, so at the end of their first day there, they would get good facilities in this artificial structure, with a good cultivation area for the group.

...

The first group to go to Ganaway Refuge finally made their way to Zocarro, while most of the others stayed on the Artificial Moon to prepare for the future.

Meanwhile, the group members continued to advance, with Grisdi reaching level 106 and Hollie advancing to level 103!

With over five months on the Artificial Moon, the strongest of the group would be able to adapt to the conditions of instant transport, progressing much faster than Minos and his allies had previously.

But that was to be expected. The overall quality of the current group was much better than that of his group when they left Zocarro decades ago.

The group had already had the experience of traveling in spaceships, which had also helped to harden their bodies for instant transportation.

In these first months on the Artificial Moon, Minos had exchanged almost all the resources that would be of no use or great value for him once he returned to Zocarro.

With the things he currently had, even after paying the travel costs for a group of 14, he still had enough to enrich even high-ranking Sovereigns of Zocarro.

So he would continue to prepare for his return to Zocarro with his group on the Artificial Moon, planning to arm his team once they were all in the Ganaway Refuge.

This would be their first step on Zocarro before heading to Oqia!
