The Rise of the Black Plain

chapter-2713
Time passed quickly. Without realizing it, Minos' companions began to lose touch with the passage of real time, in the dark as to how long they had been in the pocket dimension of the level 124 soul fragment.
All most of them knew was that they were evolving, getting closer to the critical point of their stay in the special dimension they were in. They were getting stronger, completing more challenges and starting to think about the day they would leave the sterile, monotonous place they were stuck in.
To have even level 116 Supremes advancing in this period, however, showed that many years had passed!
The giants Wovar and Clexvog had once again made progress, reaching level 117, while Tiolos had progressed to level 118 in those years.
Wenni and Walkas hadn't been summoned once in those years, but with Abby's advancement to level 112 and Minos' to level 114, they would probably improve their cultivations the next time they were needed.In the midst of the growth of these important members of the group, Ruth reached level 113 and Gloria level 112, enough for Minos' black-haired wife to start her first challenge, while Gloria stayed with Abby, waiting for the day when she could do the same.
Of the Sovereigns who still existed in the group decades ago, now, apart from Minos and his wives, only two individuals from the group remained in the 11th stage!
With a team made up basically of Supremes, Minos was on a new level, with ever greater expectations for the future!
...
Today Minos was sitting in front of Tiolos, Leger and Wovar, the strongest of his group.
Sitting at the peak of one hill in this dimension, they could see all the space at their disposal in the dimension full of ruins to explore.
The gentle evening wind blew over their bodies as they looked at each other, facing the group's current situation.Minos and Tiolos were still basically tied in terms of completed ruins, both having recently completed ruin number 7. Meanwhile, Wovar and Leger had completed number 11 last and were now preparing to challenge number 10.
"Ruth entered the ruin 15 days ago. In a few more years, it could be Abby and Gloria's turn to go through the same thing." Minos began today's conversation by pointing out the approach to the decisive moment for them.
"The time is coming to think about the most difficult ruins in the area."
Tiolos knew that the group leader's urgency was directly related to the cultivation speed of the three human women in the group. But he didn't know if Minos' plans would work out the way this guy wanted. "Do you think we'll be able to deal with all the ruins until they beat ruin 15?
Judging by the speed of their cultivation and our progression, we'll probably still have 3-4 ruins left to complete by the time they've done their bit.
And frankly, I'm not sure we'll be able to complete all the ruins in this damn dimension. I don't want to sound pessimistic, but things were already pretty tough in ruin 7. I don't know what they'll be like when we get to 4 or 5 and as for 1, that's so far away I don't even want to imagine it."
"We'll see. As we progress through the ruins, we get stronger physically and mentally. Our cultivation speeds increase, our spiritual foundations solidify. Even the least talented of us has improved in every way with the opportunities he's had so far." Minos said, and the three people next to him couldn't deny it.
They all felt it. For them, the challenge that would previously have been very difficult and they would have been uncertain of being able to solve today was no longer so complicated for any of them.
'That's true. I almost died completing the ruin 12 challenge, but now I've improved a little in cultivation, but I'm sure I could easily beat it. I also managed to complete ruin 11, which is even more difficult than Ruin 12, a clear sign of my evolution,' Wovar thought to himself.
Minos continued, "We still don't know what our ultimate limits are in this dimension. It may be that what is impossible for us today is not as complicated as we think it will be in the future.
One way or another, we're going to leave this place sooner or later. The owner of the area thinks she can keep us trapped here forever, but that's her fanciful illusion." He turned his eyes in the direction of where the obelisk of Ruin 1 stood.
Of that, they had no doubt. Their doubts were whether they could fulfill the requirement of the level 124 fragment until Minos' women completed the challenge of ruin number 15 and Minos' advancement to level 115. But they were confident that he could complete all the challenges, eventually.
"Let's keep going one step at a time. Even if we have to wait for you to advance to the 12th stage, that's fine. None of us are in a hurry and the continent won't change places or be revolutionized in the meantime," Leger said, being the least hurried of everyone there.
Finding this place had been the best thing that had ever happened in Leger's life!
Minos heard this and said nothing about his advancement to the 12th stage. But he didn't want to wait for that. There would certainly be advantages to him advancing and becoming a Supreme within this dimension. However, he was sure that he would be incapacitated for a long time after his advancement.
Would it be good for him to be in a place like this during his advancement? Minos wasn't so sure about that, so he was still in uncertainty and preferred to advance their actions as much as possible before that happened.
'It will still take me a long time to reach the end of level 114. It would probably take me more than twice as long as it has taken us inside this dimension so far.' He thought to himself, leaving the matter to discuss with his companions in the future.
"Leger's right," he finally said. "Let's move on and respect our limits. The most important thing is that we complete our objectives."
