The Rise of the Black Plain

As soon as Minos finished his cultivation, feeling much stronger than before, he assessed his strength as he walked away from where his group members were still meditating.

'Now, I should be able to temporarily raise my cultivation to level 107, and even be able to fight level 113 opponents... Excellent! That should be enough to end this war.' He smiled as his children, who were chatting with Abby and Gloria, spotted him in front of the Kendrick sect's place.

"Father! Congratulations on your breakthrough!" Hollie said with a smile on her face, happy not only for her father's progress, but to see him smile.

Kendrick approached his old man and congratulated him as well until he asked. "When are we leaving? You're not planning to stay here and cultivate to level 105, are you?"

"We will wait for Ruth and the others to finish their seclusion. It should happen soon. They're all close to breakthrough." Minos got right to the point, ready to move forward with his plans, but willing to wait another month or two until everyone could leave together.

"We're going to The Blossom World after that? Will we attack them directly?" Gloria asked her husband, expecting something like this, given Minos' ruthless and vengeful profile.

"Yes, I'll plan with the local forces and we'll set out together to deal with this civilization." He looked up, where the level 114 cultivator, Egerton, would soon appear.

As soon as he reached the area, the local leader saw a group watching him and smiled, imagining Minos was already waiting for him.

"It is annoying to deal with a seer. You're never surprised by anything." Egerton commented with a smile on his furry face. "Anyway, congratulations on your breakthrough."

"Thanks for the words. But it's good that you came. It's time for you to prepare the forces of your civilization for a fresh attack on The Blossom World."

"Oh? Will you accompany me this time?" Egerton had already imagined Minos would return to that world when he advanced in level.

This local leader had a lot of experience and knew how to read Minos' situation very well. The young Emperor Stuart had used a sophisticated method to become stronger the last time he was in The Blossom World. He shouldn't be able to repeat the feat.

Therefore, even though he had recovered and become even stronger since that day, Minos probably needed help to carry out his plans of destruction.

"Not just me, but my entire group. We're going to attack The Blossom World together after my companions in seclusion finish their advances. With this next attack, we can end this war and bring victory to The Enchanted Realm." Minos said seriously as he looked at Egerton, showing the determination in his eyes.

Egerton nodded positively to Minos, while he couldn't help but feel sorry for those who stood against this young man.

Their fate was anything but good!

"They should advance in a month or two, right?" He looked toward Minos' guild mates. "Yes, that's about right. Kendrick and I will open portals to The Blossom World when everyone is ready. So move your men to here within that timeframe."

Egerton agreed and said a few more words before saying goodbye, declaring he would return in a few weeks with the group that would take part in the battle in The Blossom World.

Last time, his group had lost more than half of their numbers to accomplish their feat on this planet. But now, he would have time to prepare a stronger group, with more members and better preparation.

Having Minos on his side was also a significant advantage that Egerton didn't underestimate, so he wanted to organize a massive attack to end the war in a single day!

With the departure of the level 114 Sovereign, Minos looked at Kendrick and said. "You should cultivate and use the resource you haven't consumed yet. It will destabilize your soul a bit, but it will get you to level 104 and be able to open more than one portal when we leave.

Consume it and use the remaining weeks to cultivate. Don't worry about the instability of your soul. When we get to Zocarro, we'll be able to fix it quickly."

Kendrick accepted his father's advice before leaving for the cultivation area.

Grisdi followed, watching him intently as he watched her.

Their relationship had improved over the past few months, but it wasn't back to what it had been before she tried to use Hollie to get them to return to The Enchanted Realm.

But she tried to be useful to him while he dealt with her as he saw fit.

"I'll join you in The Blossom World and then we'll split up." She told him as she entered his cultivation room. "Is that okay with you? After that, you'll cross the universe and never return to the sect, so our relationship will be over."

"That's fine with me." He said coldly to her before consuming the resource his father gave him and starting to cultivate.

...

Time passed, and soon Minos' companions, who were close to his progress, would complete their time of seclusion.

With the help of Minos' resources, the four level 106 Sovereigns advanced to level 107, while Ruth reached level 106.

Kendrick completed his brief seclusion and reached the same level as his father.

Since everyone in the group had used the last time to improve their strength, it was time for them to go to The Blossom World!

At the end of the day, in the area they were in, Egerton's group was ready to leave with over 100 Sovereigns and 4 warships.

Minos' group, comprising his twelve companions and Grisdi, was also ready as they finished saying goodbye to the members of this sect that had helped them in so many ways.

Minos looked at Kendrick and signaled to his son, and they both used their abilities simultaneously, increasing their cultivation, before opening the portals to The Blossom World.

Kendrick opened three portals, while Minos opened four, enough for their group to enter seven different areas of this world, and cause panic among the enemy forces.

It was time for the group's ending battle in the galaxy!
