The Rise of the Black Plain

At the end of the event, hours after the arrival of the many groups, they slowly left the camp set up by the elves.

Having agreed upon the main rules that would be in effect from this day forward but which would have a greater impact during the ice age, everyone prepared to return to where they had come from. It was time to take the decisions and agreements made at this meeting back to their respective organizations.

All groups had to quickly choose their representatives and send them to Elves Island to decide on the rest of the rules. Since time was short, they would have to hurry to settle it.

On the other hand, they would have to start planning now to give up some of their specialists who would have to leave their posts in 20 years to serve the World Coalition.

Amidst all this, Minos and his group were slowly with Julian, as Emperor Stuart had many things on his mind.

He had many things to take care of!

'I must send communiqués to the Dry City immediately. My government needs to start building food reserves as soon as possible.' He thought as his eyes narrowed. 'I will use the communication network of the Pantheon of Honor to send these orders to the Dry City.

I'll take the opportunity to communicate with the staff of the marine expansion and the Bank of the Black Plain. We need to increase the amount of funds set aside for farming in the submerged areas. That will be very important if we are to keep our promises and the food situation of my empire.' 

He looked at Julian and said. "Elder, I need to communicate with my people in the central continent. I need to send some orders to fulfill the agreements made today."

"Do not worry. When I get to the temple, I'll help you deliver your messages to your people on the Central Continent." Julian commented as the group left the area of the elven camp undisturbed.

When they reached the area where they had been before, Julian immediately took the lead, distorting space to create a wormhole that would lead them back to the Pantheon of Honor's headquarters city.

Following the path of this tunnel through space, it would only take a few moments for them to disappear from the forest in the central part of the Divine Continent and reach the area where Minos' crew was.

Once back in the city, Julian would soon lead Minos to the part of the Pantheon of Honor where he could send his message.

Meanwhile, Minos' companions and Julian's family separated from them and went to different parts of the city.

...

After sending his messages to the Pantheon Of Honor contacts in the Black Plain Empire, Minos said goodbye to Julian to return to his wives at their faction headquarters.

As he walked towards where he felt their spiritual fluctuations, Minos planned other things he had to deal with.

'I won't be able to deal with the Gorgons as I wanted to, but I can try to resolve my situation with them...' He thought about resolving his revenge within the rules recently set by the world experts.

He couldn't wipe out his enemies, but that didn't mean he couldn't kill important members of that race!

Since he knew they wouldn't stop chasing him and his revenge on the dead Gorgons, he would be justified in taking action against them and eliminating one or two high-ranking members of the tribe.

'In the short term, I'll use the strength of my allies and business partners to protect my interests, and then, when I advance to the 10th stage, I'll give them back everything I've suffered.' He clenched his fists, determined to solve this problem.

When he arrived where his wives were, Minos put these thoughts aside and watched them cultivate in a high-level room.

"Back already? I thought you'd be longer." Isabella opened her eyes and smiled at Minos.

He smiled back at her. "Traveling with experts is really fast. I was there and back in the blink of an eye. As for the meeting of the world leaders, we quickly decided what needed to be decided.

Fortunately, everyone agreed on most of the issues discussed."

"You seem to have gotten something out of it..." She commented, seeing that Minos seemed more pleased than worried after participating in such an important event.

"Yes, I didn't expect to gain anything other than information. But in the end, I got important business deals, but also support." He commented cheerfully. "Now we don't have to worry about too many past problems. As long as we continue with our current plans and are successful, we'll get all the support we need to deal with our biggest concerns."

"Fantastic," Abby commented as she awoke from her meditation state to hear her husband's positive words.

Gloria also ended her meditation to greet her husband. "So what will this change about our plans?"

"Not much in the short term. We'll still have to travel around the continent looking for new companions for our crew. But after that, we'll just have to do our seclusion before we go to the North Sea. Everything else is in place. Everything will be settled with the results of this journey to the north." Minos answered and then sighed.

Countless situations could arise after the journey north. Depending on what they discovered, they might not have to worry about it at all or even give the ice age less importance and concentrate on that.

But until they returned from that journey, there wouldn't be much more for Minos and his people to do. Now it was time to finish gathering their traveling party and cultivate.

In about two years, they would leave the Divine Continent and stay in the Black Plain Empire until the fateful day of their journey.

"Good!" Ruth commented when she woke up. "We'll be able to stay with our children longer from now on. We haven't seen them in a while."

On this journey, they stopped from time to time to "cultivate" as Minos used his fusion techniques to create space for him and his wives to travel to the Spatial Kingdom.

But even with such an opportunity, they would go months without seeing their young children, which was difficult for the mothers of the newest members of the Stuart family.

But with the change in the group's situation, they could spend more time with their family in the Spatial Kingdom before making the most dangerous journey of their lives to the North Sea.

Soon, Minos' wives would spend some time with him discussing what had been decided at the council of elders of the Pantheon of Honor regarding the situation with the Gorgons.

"Minos, come with me..." Aarav appeared where he and his wives were and quickly called him to his side.
