The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 1668 Updates

"What?"

"Maximillian Flamen?"

"Impossible! He died millions of years ago!"

The people to whom Minos revealed this information were shocked, unable to believe what their leader had just said.

Maximillian was not bothered by the statements of those people, feeling that it was reasonable to doubt this unique achievement in history.

He had been born with a Physique that had blessed him with a variant ability, different from that of his parents and family members. Since he had had no children, this ability had never again appeared in the Spiritual World, and his case was the only one in all known history!

Time arrays, such as the one he had used, even existed and could be developed by some of the most talented high-level grade-4 array masters. But they would not work in the same way that his array had worked for him.

Without adding his innate ability into the equation, the most a person could live extra using one of these arrays would be tens of thousands of years.

As much as that would be a lot, it wouldn't be of much use to most people, which is why this type of device doesn't exist in abundance in the Spiritual World.

To live a few thousand more years would be incredible, but the person who stayed within an area controlled by one of these arrays would not have more time to live. On the contrary, they would have less!

They could live to a later age, but their life would not stop within that area of array influence. But, at the same time, the time lost within it would be spent sleeping, something that could not be considered life.

So his case was unique and could not be replicated, hence the agitation of people in Minos' surroundings!

"How is that possible, Minos?" Maisie asked, looking at that handsome black-haired man, shocked.

"It's complicated... But it is a fact that I found him in the Seraphim Ancient Sarcophagus, and he was the one who created that map." Minos said, bitterly smiling. "And considering his level and techniques, it would be impossible for him not to be who I said he is...

Anyway, as strange as it is, that's the reality. Questioning it won't get us anywhere other than wasting our time.

This is Maximillian Flamen, a level 99 Demigod. That's all that matters."

Maximillian liked Minos' positioning, seeing that such a young man knew how to adapt to circumstances, even when they were shocking.

'This boy has a future...' He thought as people in the surrounding area held their questions and doubts about how this person was still breathing.

Minos said. "Senior Maximillian is here, and now he can be considered our greatest ally. You heard him earlier. He will protect the Black Plain. So thank him for this stand."

After those words from their sovereign, those people were quick to thank Maximillian, introducing themselves while making themselves available to him, even though they were still so weak.

"You aren't so bad. You won't be able to help me for now, but I will remember your words." He said. "But focus your forces on improving young Minos' state. He has done me a great favor, so I wish the best for this place.

In the future, you may be able to benefit from it, so remain steadfast."

The people there smiled, happy to be on the favorable side of such a powerful man.

Then Maximillian began with his questions. "Well, now that we have met, tell me about the continent. What is the current configuration of these lands like? What are the relevant powers?"

One of the Gray Clouds Sect men then brought up a spirit map in front of that man and began to speak.

"The Central Continent currently has 13 states, most of them are in the western region, the territory that the Church has not been present since the senior's time.

Of those 13 states, the Church has as its declared enemies two empires, both from the western region. 

The strongest man on the continent is the leader of one of those states."

As that person spoke, the map changed little by little to a better understanding of that Demigod.

Parts stood out, changing color or increasing or decreasing in size. At the same time, names and small drawings appeared to indicate allied and enemy forces, the presence of relevant groups, etc.

Now and then, other people in that part of the imperial palace would speak, adding information relevant to that man.

Minos would participate in this for a while, also talking a bit about the Black Plain Empire, the Spiritual Church, and the Evergreen Empire.

He didn't hide the previous situations related to this man's map, talking about the Blood Triangle Pirates, the Demigod who had come to Dry City, and also the pressures of the major factions of the Church on his and Gloria's group.

That man listened to everything Minos and his people had to say, interested in the current reality of the continent.

The Central Continent today seemed a bit weaker than in his time.

To give you an idea of the difference in strength, currently, there were only 3 level 99 Demigods native to the area. But in Maximus and Maximillian's time, there were 8 people at that level!

The western region had the same number of experts of that level that existed today. Still, all the other regions had better numbers than today.

Based on this, Maximillian could imagine that not only fewer peak Demigods existed today, the overall number of Demigods in the entire continent should be lower than back then.

On the one hand, this could be considered good since he wanted to conquer this continent. But on the other hand, it was bad as it could mean that the local forces had fallen behind compared to those in the Divine Continent.

Not only peak experts decide things on a war!

This man put this information in his heart for the future and kept updating himself in Dry City.

For the moment, he would only listen to Minos and his staff talking about more general things. But soon, the local government personnel and Church post would bring more detailed information for him to analyze.

Meanwhile, the situation that had happened on the island of the Seraphim Ancient Sarcophagus would soon come to the attention of the Travisani family.

Suddenly, one of the strongest on the continent had been wiped out, having shown no signs of struggle before perishing from this world!

Due to such circumstances, before long, the Travisani family would be on alert for the onset of chaos on the Central Continent!
