In the blink of an eye, two and a half years had passed!

While the continent was experiencing the chaos of the Vico and Maximillian war, the Black Plain Empire flourished without any major problems.

Obviously, difficult circumstances arose occasionally, even more so with the arrival of foreign peoples in the main cities of Minos' domain.

Over 70 million people from various parts of the Central Continent now live in the Black Plain!

This was a significant increase for this state as most of these people were relatively powerful, between the 7th and 9th stage, cultivation stages that still had few cultivators in this state.

But with Minos and his family leading the state closely, the problems in this period were dealt with before significant concerns arose.

A crucial factor for the state to remain stable and continue its growth had been the advances of the members of the imperial family, but also the high rank of the army.

Minos had advanced to level 81 months ago, while Ruth, Abby, and Isabella had reached level 80. Gloria was still at the same level as before, the same for Maisie and Patience. But Oswald had reached the same level as his grandson.

Besides them, several new members of the Black Plain Army from the Divine Continent had managed to improve their levels.

And even though none of them had advanced to level 90, the strengthening of the group had increased the number of mid- and high-level Sages in Minos' forces.

Through these advances in the period, now the Black Plain group had over 100 Spirit Sages under Minos' control, who had been maintaining the order of the state, even with the current presence of over 1,000 Sages who had arrived in the northern region in the last 3 years.

But other than the Demigods sent by Julian, there were no other cultivators above level 90 in Emperor Stuart's domains.

In addition to these improvements in terms of cultivation of the army bases, Minos had built another 6 domes like the Dry City one in the main cities of his state, something that had greatly contributed to local stability.

Along with this, the entire state was improving with the many incentives from the Minos' government, as well as the spiritual improvement of the region.

...

Meanwhile, in Dry City...

On this day, it was hot in the capital of the Black Plain Empire. The sky was completely blue, but no one in this city could see it since the defensive dome created by Minos blocked the light from passing through.

But several arrays around the city simulated daylighting for the local inhabitants to continue living their lives normally despite the powerful defenses over them.

Just in the central part of this city, two youths were going about their routine, fighting on a combat platform of the army headquarters.

One of them was a young man with blue eyes, brown hair, and 1.7 meters tall. He was strong for his age, 14, with well-developed muscles and the appearance of a small adult. But some traits in him still gave away that he had just recently passed his childhood.

But these traits were not related to his level. At only 14, he was already at level 41, an impressive cultivation for someone who couldn't even be considered an adult in this world.

However, his cultivation did not reflect his fighting abilities!

Pow!

He slammed one of his fists into his opponent's fist, sweating profusely in this weekly bout he had with the beautiful red-haired woman in front of him.

She had brown eyes, red hair and was 1.7 meters tall. Her body had proportional measurements, but her main attribute was her breasts, which were larger than average.

The armor she wore highlighted her attributes, but her smile would steal the attention even of old perverts who usually only looked at the beautiful bodies of maidens.

Unlike her young opponent, she was several years older and had a much stronger cultivation level than his, currently at level 66.

Because of this, not only was her appearance extremely refined, her movements were much better than that of her young opponent.

"That's it for today, Kendrick." Sarah saw that her brother was exhausted and used her innate ability to throw him backward.

"Aaagh!" Kendrick shouted as he felt the power coming from his sister's gravitational control ability.

"We'll see you next week. Right now, I have to see my Grandma Margot." Sarah smiled at her little brother, leaving him behind.

Kendrick made an ugly expression as he got up from where he had fallen, but he didn't blame his sister.

From the moment he had reached level 40, his father had ordered him and Sarah to train together occasionally. Not only that, this level 66 woman was supposed to push her brother.

As someone who had inherited the innate ability of the emperor, Kendrick was the state's future, who should, from a young age, be trained hard.

"Ah, Her Highness is so hard on you, little Kendrick." A blue-haired woman approached this young man with a white towel while ordering one of the women from the Crown Prince's staff to bring him his snack.

Kendrick looked at Nicole Miller, level 74, his maternal grandmother, and said. "Not at all, Grandma. Big sister Sarah just does it for my own good. My father didn't grow up this much without facing even greater hardships than mine."

"Nicole, don't be so soft. Kendrick is strong, and that is nothing to him." The grandfather of the heir to the empire commented in a harsh tone.

Eliot Miller, level 75, was also there to accompany his grandson. He and his wife were part of Kendrick's group, helping him with training and his responsibilities as heir.

As heir to the Black Plain Empire, Kendrick had many responsibilities. Even if Minos had no intention of leaving his position, this young man needed to be able to replace his father at least momentarily in the future.

So besides constantly meeting with leaders of the empire and men from the army, he had to study hard and create allies among the elders and also in the younger generation. In addition, he needed to find a good wife and one day have children!

For the moment, nobody was pressuring him about this. Still, every now and then, young women a little older than him would approach Kendrick...

The prince would become an adult in a short time, so it would be an opportunity for many to be around him already!

Kendrick smiled at his grandfather's comment and began eating the meal his cook had prepared. "It looks excellent, Wendi, thank you." He said as he winked at this level 61 woman.

Wendi, a woman Minos had met on a boat trip when he first went to Stone Island, blushed as he saw the prince's gaze on her.

Unlike Kendrick's mother and grandmothers, she knew this young man was no fool! He was equal or worse to the emperor when it came to women!
