The Rise of the Black Plain
chapter-2615

Two weeks have passed since Gloria's victory over Lily...

With two weeks to go until the match between Gloria and Hollie, a decisive fight that could mean the end of the competition for Gloria or the hope that she might have another chance against Kendrick, news of the war arrived to shake the structures of Armhands.

While continuing the routine activities he had been engaged in for the past three months, Minos received two Generals at the entrance of his family's cave, one of them a Supreme.

In those months, he and Abby had hardly worked with the black liquid to create Supreme corpses. Except for one occasion when one corpse had died, and they had recovered the black liquid from that creature, they had not worked with corpses for the guild.

However, Minos had helped the Armhands get four more level 115 Supremes, with him having helped four Generals advance to the next level.

Besides these four individuals, one of whom was standing in front of him this morning, Minos had also helped at least three dozen high-level Sovereigns from outside his faction. Many people at level 112 had reached level 113 with his help, and several others had gone from level 113 to level 114.

Unfortunately, there weren't many cultivators at the peak of their levels at the headquarters at present, otherwise Minos would probably have reached more than a few dozen.

In any case, the respect that every member of the guild currently had for him did not differ from the respect they had for the Elders.

In front of Minos, the two Generals respectfully asked the human to accompany them to the guild's leadership.

Leaving Ruth and Gloria to cultivate in the family cave, Minos followed the two Generals, anticipating what had happened.

"Officer Abby is already waiting for the General at the entrance to the Council. The Supreme Leader has requested both of you," said the level 115 woman, while the look on her face was deeply dark.

"I see... The First Elder is dead, I suppose?" He looked at them, but couldn't find a verbal answer.

However, Minos understood that this was the case when he saw the complicated expressions on the faces of these two Generals.

In the blink of an eye, he crossed the distance between his cultivation cave and the Council, joined Abby and Segiel—who had also been summoned—and entered the building where the Supreme Leader, the Commander, and two Elders were waiting for them.

He and Abby greeted the four Supremes before hearing from Jalai. "Minos, Segiel and Abby, First Elder Juma died in battle against the core of the coalition led by Jabez."

He and his women sighed, aware of how important a pillar Juma was to the guild.

Not only was Juma the First Elder, he was the oldest member of the guild, someone who had lived for over a million years and served the guild for nearly that long.

The Supreme Leader got right to the point of why these three were there. "You can't affect the future of this war too much, but you are important pillars for the future of the guild. Today, you are here to assume your new positions and your new duties."

The three of them saw the solemn glances of the two Elders and the Commander in their direction before the Supreme Leader concluded. "Segiel, as of today you are the new Chief Commander of Armhands.

Work hard with Minos and Abby to ensure the future of the guild. One day, I and the elders by my side will not be here. It will be up to you to protect the legacy of Armhands and continue the quest for the Upper Realm."

Segiel clenched her fists as she looked at the former Commander, who quickly handed her his cloak, revealing his new position as the guild's newest Tenth Elder.

"Abby, you will assume the position of Segiel, and your mission will be to travel to Uzira with Minos and get more of the black liquid. Do your best to get enough to become stronger and one day bring First Elder Juma back to life."

Minos and Abby understood what the guild expected of them, and they more or less understood how part of the Council intended to 'access' the Upper Realm.

'I see... So that's it. You want to use the black liquid to reach the 13th stage, just like Abby and I did with the 12th stage corpses?' Minos said nothing as he watched Abby receive Segiel's position. 'They think that reaching the 13th stage is enough... Well, they're not entirely wrong.'

Reaching the 13th stage wouldn't guarantee anyone a place in the Upper Realm. But with a cultivation level higher than level 124, the chances of someone entering the Upper Realm were definitely higher than at the 12th stage.

Not only that, if he and Abby continued to grow and remained loyal to the guild, even if these people died before reaching level 125, they would still have the option of coming back to life and cultivate in a partially different way!

This was a second chance for everyone to reach the Upper Realm!

Minos had no problem making such a promise to these people for the time being, so he and Abby assured them they would do their best to help the guild and take it to new heights.

Finally, the Supreme Leader looked at Minos and made a golden urn appear in front of the three young pillars of Armhands.

"Take Juma's body with you to Uzira. If you can't get back to Oqia soon, revive Juma there to secure the guild's foundation on that continent," Jalai said, surprising Minos, Abby and Segiel, who couldn't help but be surprised to see the First Elder's body.

'How did he manage that?' The three thought simultaneously, aware that Juma had died in enemy territory.

'The Supreme Leader is much scarier than his enemies think!' Minos looked at Jalai with fresh eyes, feeling he would have to be extra careful with this man in the future!

Nevertheless, he accepted the coffin with Juma's body, stored it in his spatial ring and promised he would do his best to revive Juma when he and Abby could help him reach heights that the Elder had not reached in life.

After their promises and oaths, these three heard the state of the war from the mouths of the four men between levels 117 and 123 in front of them.
