Chapter 2657 Conversation with Newcomers (1)
As he looked at his family and friends, Minos began by answering a few questions.
"Many of you must have questions. There are things we're going to talk about from now on. We have time to talk about everything. But you should know that, apart from being stronger, we haven't changed who we were or our goals.
I've undergone some transformations because of the opportunities that the Divine Dragons and the Seraphim have given me, and I've also grown a lot in Zocarro. But I'm still the same as before, despite the different appearance."
The newcomers listened to him in silence, marveling at his opportunities related to dragons and seraphim.
Cykog confirmed his suspicions, feeling that Minos was now even more someone he should respect and follow. And, from his point of view, this white-haired fellow was no less a dragon than he was!
'I'm looking forward to hearing about these Divine Dragons.' Cykog thought to himself, as he could smell dragons on the bodies of Kendrick, Lily and Hollie.
But it wasn't the smell of these three, but of their dragons. Folli, Odys and Irgim weren't there in Minos' residence, but each of them had grown well over the last few decades, reaching between the end of the 8th stage and the beginning of the 9th stage.
Oswald opened his mouth after hearing Minos. "So that was it... Well, back then your powers were already similar to those of dragons and later you got wings... If you think about it, this evolution was to be expected.
I just didn't think you'd grow up so fast over the years."
Minos said to his grandfather, "My divine ability, Temporal Sands, helps me control the passage of time and distort time and space. Using it, I have cultivated in seclusion seven times longer than those outside the effects of my ability would feel the passage of time."
"In other words, 100 years of cultivation for a normal person is equivalent to around 700 years of cultivation for Minos." Ruth complemented her husband's explanation, clearing up everyone's doubts as to how he and his wives had grown so quickly.
Vico and Callie sighed, remembering what she had said and feeling a little relieved. Minos could use such a thing on others, so they too could grow 'fast' in the future.
Vico then said, "So that's it... Now I understand your current power. But what about the war? When it's over, what are your plans? Are you still going to Uzira?"
"Yes, we'll be leaving in less than 40 years." Minos said as he looked at Vico and then at his companions there. "That's why you have to adapt quickly to Zocarro and Armhands. We won't be available to help for long."
"What about Uzira? Vico and Callie didn't delve into it during the trip and, most of the time, we were cultivating to strengthen ourselves." Talia stepped forward, approaching her sister and Minos.
Ruth stepped in for her husband and replied, "Uzira is similar to how the Divine Continent used to be for us when we were in the Central Continent. It's a place of prosperity and abundant opportunities. However, unlike the ease with which we could travel to the Spiritual World, reaching Uzira is almost impossible for Sovereigns. Therefore, the risks involved in this journey will be incredibly high."
"But is it worth going there?" Aurae asked.
Abby nodded affirmatively. "Of course. You'll learn later, but Uzira probably has an extremely valuable resource, which may one day help us have Celestial corpses on our side."

Callie couldn't help but widen her eyes as she took a step forward. "Is that true?"
"Celestials? Is that what comes after the Supreme stage?" Julian, level 105, asked.
They and the others already knew that the 11th stage was called Sovereign. Next was the 12th stage, Supreme. But they still hadn't talked about the 13th stage of cultivation.
Minos confirmed. "Yes, Celestials are 13th stage beings, among the strongest in the universe. Anyway, with the black liquid, we have a chance of obtaining the means to create a Celestial. But for that, we need to go to Uzira, since there is no more of this resource in Oqia." freewebnσvel.cѳm
"I see... So you've developed the experiments with the black liquid well." Vico said with interest.
The others, who didn't know much about it, flinched at the comments, but imagined that this black liquid was something valuable to the faction.
"Yes, we've had a lot of success with it and we've even produced some Supreme corpses," Abby said with satisfaction.
Aurae remembered this woman's powers and imagined that, somehow, Abby's finger was involved.
Minos concluded his reasoning. "Because of this, coupled with some business deals and alliances we've made over the last few decades, we should leave in about 40 years. So, take advantage of our presence and prepare for our future absence."
Kendrick raised his right hand and said, "I will stay and help the faction. With your help, I hope to be able to build a stronger faction that is prepared to receive more of our fellow Spiritual World representatives in the future."
Eliot and Nicole liked what they heard, preferring their grandson not to risk going to Uzira with Minos.
But not only had Kendrick made up his mind, Lily and Hollie were also committed to staying.
"I'll stay too." Lily looked at her grandmother, Audrey, level 102, whom she wanted to help and repay for her childhood in the Spiritual World.
Lily had been thinking of leaving with her father, but with her maternal grandmother there and a lot of her fellow worldlings who were 'vulnerable' at their current levels, her presence in the guild would be more important.
Hollie, on the other hand, despite wishing the same, was more curious about welcoming her relatives in the future and continuing to work towards reaching the peak in Armhands.
Minos listened to his children's decisions and was satisfied. He really preferred them to stay behind and wait for him and his group to return.
"The years ahead are few, but they will be long enough for you to adapt. So don't stress about our departure. This is just another step towards achieving our goals."
With Minos' words, several doubts had been resolved, but there was much more to be discussed. Soon those 40-plus people gathered at Minos' residence would engage in more individual conversations, talking about their experiences in the Spiritual World and hearing what they could expect from their start in Armhands.
