The Rise of the Black Plain

In the blink of an eye, the six weeks Minos' group had to wait at Arther Terminal flew by.",

Ruth and the other four companions dedicated themselves to cultivating in this period. One of the men at level 102 was close to advancing to level 103; however, he needed a few more weeks to complete his progression.

The rest of the group also hoped to advance before the spaceship completed its journey to The Adamant Land, where they planned to continue their journey independently. Nonetheless, there was no assurance of success for everyone, as the forthcoming area was weaker and weaker.

After spending weeks in seclusion, the group left to embark on their voyage to the galaxy of The Adamant Land.

"How have the last few weeks been, Minos?" Ruth asked as she walked alongside her husband.

"I had to handle some issues, but everything turned out fine. The beings in this area aren't strong enough to intimidate me," he said with a smile, choosing not to divulge the details of his various encounters, including an argument with the leader of Aether Terminal a week earlier.

Seeing the smile on Minos' face, Ruth imagined he had a lot of fun while he could not cultivate and level up.

"It looks like you got a few things while we were cultivating," she laughed.

"Our return will be interesting in the future. I made some good friends and resources." Minos said, confirming what she and the others had already thought.

Soon they would join the queue of 45 creatures who would travel with them to the galaxy where the solar system of The Adamant Land was located.

The spaceship they would travel was much simpler than Starship 666. Within this specific area of the universe, using wormholes for travel was effortless, enabling the group to rely heavily on this method. As a result, the need for extensive defensive systems like the ones aboard Starship 666 was minimal.

The crew of the ship destined for Nemo Colony was not strong, having a captain who was a level 107 Sovereign.

The ship itself had three levels, but passengers were confined to just one. This level included a seating area, two communal cultivation rooms, five individual chambers available for reservation upon boarding, and a small dining area.

There was little privacy on this ship, which strongly resembled the vessels used by the warriors of the Mechanic Empire. However, with a journey of about 30 weeks ahead, Minos was not overly concerned about the lack of privacy.

As soon as his group boarded, they settled into their seats, ready for the long voyage.

Forty minutes after boarding, the ship's engines roared to life. The captain then addressed the passengers, welcoming them aboard and summarizing the journey ahead, including the first stop and the final destination.

Unlike the spaceship that had transported Minos' group to the Aether Terminal, this smaller vessel had only three stops on its route to Nemo Colony. The first stop was scheduled for two weeks into the journey, followed by another in nine weeks, and the third in eleven weeks. After the last stop, it would take an additional eight weeks to reach their destination.

After the captain finished his briefing, the ship departed from the Aether Terminal. Its departure lacked the speed and special effects that Starship 666 offered its passengers, which caused some newcomers to feel ill from the outset.

This did not affect Minos' group. Accustomed to the rapid departures of Starship 666 and having experienced instantaneous journeys spanning a million kilometers, this journey's start was mild for them.

...

Four weeks later...

Minos was in the dining area on the passenger level of the spaceship that had recently departed from the Aether Terminal. He was engaged in conversation with a group of aliens, holding a bone-shaped item similar to what his group had gained when they were invited to Armhands.

"I'll be honest with you. Zocarro is an excellent place for cultivation. There are beings there above level 114. I've come face to face with a level 116 being," Minos said, gesturing confidently to the captivated group. His voice was firm, his demeanor unshakable—clearly the most formidable presence aboard the ship.

After the challenges of the past few weeks, Minos had swiftly built a strong reputation among the passengers and crew by helping to avert crises and even prevent them. Now, he was addressing a group of aliens, curious about the tales of someone as powerful as he was.

"At Zocarro, you will uncover the true essence of cultivation and the ultimate peaks of the universe. However, it's not good to be alone anywhere in the universe. I recommend my guild. I am part of one of the strongest forces on the Oqia continent, a guild that will pick you and give you opportunities to grow. If you join the Armhands, I will supervise you in the future and help you reach the top."

Minos tried to seduce the curious aliens. He obviously did it for himself. Over the years, as an Armhands internal member, he had successfully brought into the guild 20 creatures with the potential to become Supremes.

But Minos had invited even more creatures into the guild!

'This must be the 250th group he's invited into Armhands,' Ruth smiled as she watched her husband build his reputation and position in the guild.

If at least 10% of the aliens he invited made it to Armhands, his influence in the guild would grow considerably!

Minos had obviously become an active member of Armhands, someone capable of inviting people in, just as his superior had done with him.

But how could he not? The benefits were immense. Not only that, but for those with talent and courage, the guild could be a great place to grow!

Although the aliens he invited might not be too happy about following his recommendation, they would eventually adapt and enjoy it as much as he had.

Minos was already so strong and influential that none of the 11th stage aliens doubted him. They accepted Emperor Stuart's invitation, eager to finish their current travels, gather resources, and go to Zocarro.

Some of them asked Minos about Armhands and Zocarro. He replied by telling the truth about the best of these places, hiding the worst, but revealing some problems common to all opportunities.

The offer couldn't seem too miraculous, or these aliens would get suspicious!

Over the next few weeks, he would continue to make invitations like this in the midst of the passenger exchanges that would take place. Meanwhile, he and his companions would continue to await when they could make their way to The Adamant Land.
