As Minos and the two leaders from The Enchanted Realm shook hands in agreement, Grisdi approached Egerton while Kendrick approached his father.

'What is the meaning of this?' They both asked the same question.

Ozodat told Grisdi. 'Take advantage of this opportunity. In the history of our planet, only four natives have left the galaxy and reach high-level worlds. This is your chance to advance beyond level 114 and improve our civilization.'

Egerton agreed. 'With the end of the war approaching, we will have some time of peace and benefits, but after the extermination of a civilization, the galaxy will be more attentive to our forces. As much as this was Minos' doing, no one will blame the alien who leaves without looking back. If we're going to maintain our position and defend our civilization, we need powerful people we can rely on. Minos and his group are very promising, but we can't count on their support. You're the best person to take this position because you're already close to them.'

'Kendrick and his sisters hate me! I won't make it. Please reconsider, Your Excellencies!' she said nervously.

Egerton smiled gently at her as he touched the girl's forehead. "Everything will be fine. Just trust Minos. He'll take care of you."

Meanwhile, Minos said in his son's mind. 'Just follow the tide. Everything happens for a reason. One day you'll understand why.'

'What have you seen? Do I need her in any way? Will she play an important role in my life in the future?' Kendrick insisted.

But with a slightly more serious look from Minos, the young man stopped insisting and took a few steps back.

"Senior Egerton is right, Grisdi. I will take care of you as much as I can. You'll have to grow up in Armhands and face dangers I can't help you with, but every cultivator who aspires to the peak must prove themselves in certain circumstances. But as long as you do your best, I'm sure you can go far." Minos said to her with a smile on his face.

"This... Then I am at your disposal, Your Excellency. I hope I don't get in your way too much." She said in a humble but also defeated tone.

Minos smiled, seeing this was settled.

"Anyway, let's eat. When we're done, we'll divide up the areas to be explored according to our earlier decision."

Egerton and Ozodat agreed, and then sat down around the great fire to eat and drink together, celebrating the end of this civilization, the fine booty they would collect in the next few days, and the possible end of the war in the galaxy.

In a few hours, Minos' group would split into three, each small team heading to different areas of The Blossom World in search of valuable resources to take with them on the journey ahead.

A week wasn't enough time to collect 70% of the resources of a planet like this, so their current focus wasn't to collect everything in their path, but what was most valuable in their part of the planet.

Although this wasn't a world like Zocarro, the three teams would collect a considerable amount of resources over the next seven days. This amount would be more than enough to pay for Grisdi's travel expenses and still have enough left over for everyone to cultivate on Zocarro when they finished their journey.

...

In the blink of an eye, the week of Minos and his 13 companions was over, and it was time for them to leave the planet!

After the time they had agreed to stay there to gather resources had passed, the group of 14 reunited. They were now aboard a spaceship from The Blossom World, having just said goodbye to the remaining group from The Enchanted Realm.

Ozodat had already left to end the war in the galaxy, while Egerton had returned to his home planet the day before to protect it.

A group of only 200 mid- and high-level Sovereigns were on The Blossom World to take care of their civilization's new colony, enough to keep the place safe for the time being.

Anyway, while some men who had come to this place with Minos' people a little over 10 days ago were watching them, the level 107 robot started the ship and followed the path of the wormhole leading to The Mirror Realm.

After nearly 44 years since the group arrived at Dream Station, they were beginning their journey back to it to continue on to Zocarro.

Each of them had experienced ups and downs on their journey through this galaxy, and now they had a new companion on board. Still, their victories were far more significant than their defeats, and they now had considerable wealth to begin their lives on Zocarro.

It would be a few years before they reached the Artificial Moon, and then they would have to wait until they entered the planet's atmosphere. Still, the group was excited about the last part of their journey before they could settle down in a place where they could invest their time.

Not knowing how long they would stay in Zocarro, the group had in mind that it would be their new home!

...

"How long must it have been for Maximilian's group since you left Zocarro?" Vico asked Minos as they traveled through the wormhole that would take them to The Mirror Realm.

"About 77 years, more or less. By the time we set foot there, it will have been over 80 years for Maximillian and the others. But we won't see them when we arrive on the planet. The journey between the entry point and Armhands should take about three years, even with our current cultivation," Minos said sincerely.

"Will the journey within such a world be longer than our journey between Dream Station and Zocarro?" Gloria asked.

"Yes, that's how big Oqia is." Ruth nodded in agreement with Minos.

"And how long is it for our companions in the Spiritual World?" Hollie asked her father, curious about the Stuart family's current situation.

Minos calculated the time for a moment and said. "About four years."

"That's it?" Kendrick exclaimed. "We've lived almost five decades since we left The Adamant Land!"

"That's the spatial distortion between the places we've been and our birthplace. If we were to return today, it's possible that Rowan and Sarah would have improved only one level each, while you have evolved over 20 levels." Minos said, making everyone who was on the journey to Zocarro for the first time think for a moment and see how wrong Sarah's and Rowan's decision had been.
