Months passed, and while Sarah and Kendrick were doing what they liked, Minos was currently in Dry City after a period of seclusion in the Spatial Kingdom.

In the Spatial Kingdom, he cultivated 80% of his time, improving his strength and helping everyone there improve their progress.

But he spent the remaining 20% of his time with his wives and children, giving them enough attention without compromising the family's future.

But in Dry City, Minos focused 100% of his time on working for the best for his empire, solving matters of different natures.

He didn't see much of Sarah and Kendrick outside the Spatial Kingdom these days, but that didn't affect his relationship with them.

Minos had been present to them during their childhood, and they all had their own affairs in the present that naturally took them away from their father.

As such, Minos had no worries about his focus getting in the way of his relationship with his adult offspring.

At this moment, he was walking through the core of Dry City alongside Oswald and Harold, chatting about relevant matters.

"Minos, from the progress of the portals so far, it should be safe to try to cross them in not much more than a year." Harold, level 81, said as he walked beside Emperor Stuart, who he didn't think would surpass him in cultivation in such a short time.

Minos heard that and said. "Hmm, that's good. I'll try to finish my preparations in a year then. But what about the observers in the area? How is the arrival of foreigners around the portals?"

Hearing that, Harold explained. "For now, only low-level Spiritual Sages have appeared in the area. But I believe they are merely observers of the portals, and once the portals stabilize, those who will actually try their luck in the Ancient Dragon Spatial Kingdom will emerge.

In any case, more than 50 experts have been spotted in that area recently, while I estimate that a group of nearly 100 people will enter that region in about a year."

"Are there Church people there?" Minos questioned.

"Yes."

After Harold's quick response, Oswald added as he had been responsible for observing part of the confrontation between the Church and the Western region. "The war between Maximillian and Vico has been decreasing in intensity since news about the Ancient Dragon Spatial Kingdom began to spread across the continent.

I believe that both sides of the war will send promising young people and 10th-stage experts to this place to try to get resources that can unlock some of their potential.

So you need to prepare well and be careful Minos. There will surely be people from the Travisani family in that place who might target you and your group.

These people won't have the same worries they have out here, so part of them might put your head as an objective in there."

Minos heard this and was not surprised. Considering the value of any Spatial Kingdom, it was to be expected that the sides in the war to the south of the continent would be sending people to try their luck.

This upcoming event had the potential to unbalance the war!

"Hmm, I'll be careful when I enter that region of space," Minos said to his grandfather, knowing that things in that place would by no means be simple.

But the Ancient Dragon Spatial Kingdom was very large, much larger than Minos' Spatial Kingdom since that dragon place was meant to be the headquarters of such a tribe, not just a place to plant medicines.

Besides there being a large area in that place, there were several unstable pockets separated by impassable barriers inside. Anyone who entered there without being deeply connected would be sent to different places where they might or might not meet.

Knowing this, even though he might encounter envoys from Vico, Minos still planned to proceed with this journey.

By then, he would be able to easily use medium-level grade-4 weapons and armor without exhausting himself, so he was confident in his chances, even if he was forced to face Demigods.

Harold and Oswald sighed, walking for a few moments in silence together with Minos.

Then, Emperor Edwardstone asked. "When will I be able to see my granddaughter?"

Harold already knew about the Spatial Kingdom of Minos, so he knew that Isabella, one of his wives and his granddaughter, should be there since none of them were in Dry City.

"I will send you to the Spatial Kingdom to spend a few days with them. After that, I'm afraid they won't be able to see you until after the event about to take place in your state is over." Minos said, then spoke a few more things to Harold, until sending him to the Spatial Kingdom after they entered the Black Plain Army headquarters.

Upon being alone with his grandfather, Minos heard about the Flowers Kingdom. "What will we do about our friends from the Mcbride family? From what I have heard recently, they are facing very complicated problems with the war."

Minos then said. "I can't do much for now. If the Mcbride family wants to send some of their descendants here, we can help them preserve their lineage.

But they will not be able to breed or hunt men in my state. We will merely keep them alive for the future.

When I get stronger, I'll look at other strategies to help them, but that's all for now."

With this answer to a doubt he had been having recently, Oswald soon left his grandson and set off towards the continent's south area.

While Harold stayed with some of his family in the Spatial Kingdom, Minos' grandfather would join the other five Spiritual Sages of the local army in that empire to help keep things in order there.

Most of the population and wealth of the Flaming Empire were not in danger from the war between the Church and the West. Still, there were things they had to worry about, and men like Oswald were needed.

...

Meanwhile, Vico was in his state observing the war of movements to the east northeast of his state, where his forces and Maximillian's were vying for ground.

The war between the regions of this continent was like every other conflict of its kind. One side would try to assault the other in search of more territory, while the other side would defend itself and counterattack when it could.

When one side won a battle, they would mark the area and call it their own, marking it as their territory.

There would be battles in sequence to reconquer territories and new disputes over other areas, which made both sides retreat a lot, but without advancing quickly in either direction.

Because of this, confrontations like this did not end after a short time of combat, and there was still much to happen in the confrontation between the strongest of the continent.

However, while watching the 'pieces' on the battlefield, Vico looked in the direction of the Flaming Empire.

'Soon... Soon we will get more weapons and men to eliminate some of your squads, Maximillian!'
