The Rise of the Black Plain
chapter-2638

The moment Vico, Maisie and Aurae landed in the imperial courtyard, the strongest robots in the area left the palace together with Rowan, Kyla, Oswald, Dillian and a few other important names in the empire.

Each of them frowned, forming strange expressions as they looked at Vico and sensed the formidable level this man was on.

"Your Majesty Travisani!" Rowan's eyes widened as he shouted in surprise.

Emlyn appeared in a corner of the large building next to her grandson, wondering if she should leave for the Spatial Kingdom. But when she spotted Vico and sensed that this was related to Minos, she relaxed.

"Grandma..." Said the little one as he pointed toward the blond man. "Who's that?"

"A friend of your grandfather's. Let's get closer." She said as she put the boy on her shoulder and walked towards where Vico was smiling and talking to the people in the area.

"Guys, you look good, hehe. However little time has passed, you've become much stronger and seem to have changed the planet a lot. I'm sure Minos will be happy to hear that in the future." He looked closely at those he already knew and knew to be relevant to his faction leader.

At the sight of Emlyn and the child on this woman's shoulders, he sensed a trace of Minos' lineage on that youngster.

'The Stuart family is multiplying efficiently.' He smiled.

"Senior Vico, how are Minos and the others?" Oswald stepped forward to ask.

Vico sighed and nodded toward where he could feel there was a place for them to sit. "Let's talk inside. There are lots of things for me to tell you..."

With that said, a group of over 30 people and 10 robots followed Vico to the area he had indicated, where they would sit for the next two hours to listen to the blond man talk about his group's journey after leaving the Spiritual World 17 years ago.

Vico would tell them everything Sarah and the others had heard in the Gods' Hall, including things he had talked about with Maisie during their days traveling through the Universal Wormhole.

When they had finished listening, those people had the same reactions as Sarah's group, being happy that everything had worked out for their loved ones, but not so happy about the moment Vico and Callie had returned.

Oswald looked at Patience, level 93, aware that his wife wanted to see Rowan's family grow, but also that they wanted to follow Minos' journey.

Ruth's parents, Vince, level 95, and Elise, level 91, as well as her sister, Talia, level 90, looked at each other, with the same doubt as Patience and Oswald.

Ivy Lawson, level 90, Maisie's best friend, looked at her long-term acquaintance, imagining that Minos' mother would stay to accompany the journey of the youngest members of the family. But Ivy wasn't Maisie, and if she had a chance to see Minos again, she wanted to do it!

Everyone was immediately wondering whether they should go or stay, whether they could go even if they wanted to, since many others would certainly want to leave.

"So that's it..." Rowan murmured as he took one hand of Kyla, his level 92 wife.

The orange-haired woman next to him looked at him with the same determination in her eyes, wanting to continue in the Spiritual World so that they could continue to make their family grow, but also strengthen the world.

Rowan was happy to hear that his siblings and parents were stronger than ever, even a little curious, tempted by the idea of cultivating in stronger worlds. But he was determined to look after his family's legacy in the Spiritual World.

"Well, Kyla and I are staying. We want to enjoy our lives in the Spiritual World for a while. In the future, when we reach the 11th stage on our own, we'll wait for a group of the family to return from Zocarro to join the rest of the family." The Emperor said his decision, not needing any more time to make it.

Vico and the others had already imagined this, so Rowan's words did not surprise anyone.

"Your Majesty, I wish to stay and continue serving you." Dillian expressed in a determined tone.

He wanted to see Minos again, but he was much more needed by his family in the Spiritual World than in Zocarro. His current life expectancy was long, and it would be a while before he was bothered by his mortality.

Dillian knew Minos would give him the chance to join the Armhands in the future, so this man was willing to at least wait for the young prince in Emlyn's arms to have children of his own until he left this world.

Emlyn said. "I'll stay too. But I'll leave with the next group that comes."

She imagined that, by the next time, her grandson would be strong and her daughter probably wouldn't be able to have any more children long after that.

Patience said to Oswald. "I know you want to join Minos and the others. Go with them. I'll join you on the next occasion."

Oswald felt uncertain, but Rowan supported his great-grandmother's words. "Do it, great-grandfather. It will be important for me and my heirs that we have people in Zocarro to welcome us. My father and the others will eventually go to even stronger places in the universe. So it's best that some of us join them to welcome us in the future."

The others hadn't thought of this point yet, with even Maisie opening her eyes and realizing this problem.

If the rest of the family went beyond level 114, it was likely that they would, at least in part, seek higher levels in stronger places. Then, perhaps, when they finally went to Zocarro, there would be no one to welcome them in Armhands.

That wouldn't be good for anyone. Everyone there realized this, as they thought about how much better it would be to have family members in Armhands to welcome the next generations and groups of family members and allies who would go to that planet.

Vico saw some people doubt whether they should stay or go, imagining that, with Rowan's words, the group of over 20 individuals who would leave with him and Callie was probably formed.

'There will certainly be some relatives of Minos, Ruth, Abby and Gloria going on this trip. Counting Aurae, there should be five to ten places left... It looks like the choice of these people will be very competitive.'competition, The blond man thought to himself, sensing that there would be some kind of contest, perhaps even a competition to take place before his and Callie's two years around were up.
