The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 1840 Awakening 1

?

Another three days have passed...

While the various groups in the Ancient Dragon Spatial Kingdom searched for old problems, fought, or continued to look for opportunities, the situation of Minos and Ruth finally evolved a bit.

A little over a month after the beginning of the legacy left by a level 100 dragon, the cocoon of energy around Ruth and Minos had finally changed, becoming less dark and more transparent.

However, the situation between the two was slightly different. While the energy cocoon around Minos' body was still relatively dense and dark, the one around Ruth's body had almost disappeared.

As the level 100 dragon had said earlier, they would inherit different parts of this legacy!

Ruth would get the lion's share, but the trickiest part of the transfer of power from a level 100 being to its heir was the transfer of its innate ability, not the development of talents and spiritual blessings.

Level 100 beings could pass their special abilities directly to their heirs!

Unlike level 99 Demigods, they didn't need to give their heirs techniques that could be fused for them to have a chance to unlock that being's unique ability. A level 100 expert could pass their skill directly to their heir as a soul skill.

Henricus Longus had done this with Minos, and the young man had been asleep for 6 years!

However, Minos was very weak when he received the God of Time skill, and to this day, such a trait is sealed in his being.

Since neither of them had inherited everything from the Dragon's legacy, and both were already Spiritual Sages, the time it would take them to absorb everything left by that God would not take 6 years.

In just over a month, Ruth was already showing signs that she would awaken soon!

Noticing this, the group that had spent the last few weeks meditating and training, with even the last level 89 Sage having advanced to become a level 90 Demigod, began to pay attention to her.

"It looks like Ruth is about to wake up," Abby smiled at her harem sisters.

The others looked over to where the beautiful black-haired woman and Minos were floating.

Three hours later, the almost invisible cocoon was completely gone, and Ruth's body fell from where it lay.

Some in the group almost moved to stop her from hitting the ground, but Ruth opened her eyes an instant before that happened and nimbly controlled her body.

Flying over to her group in this area, Ruth frowned as she narrowed her eyes, feeling something strange.

The sensation she felt at the moment was similar to that of a person who had just replaced the lenses of their glasses with more modern and compatible versions.

Seeing this world from a new position, feeling much easier to 'see' and notice certain things, Ruth stopped what she was doing to familiarize herself with her new abilities.

Her talent had risen from the Silver grade to the level above Golden, the same as Minos!

Not only that, unlike humans, beasts had much more of their power concentrated in their bodies. By inheriting from a level 100 beast, Ruth had improved her Physique, and now its level was only one step away from Divine!

The way it was, even without consuming a Divine-grade medicine, Ruth could dream of reaching the qualitative peak of her Physique!

Her ability to regenerate had significantly developed, and she felt a "hunger" in her being, a desire like that of a pregnant woman.

Pregnant women sometimes feel a strange urge to eat certain things during pregnancy. As strange as this may seem, there was a biological explanation for it! 

Sometimes, their bodies lacked a nutrient essential for developing the fetus in their wombs. To meet that need, there were times when pregnant women would have these sudden cravings for things that contained those nutrients!

What Ruth was feeling now was similar, and she was almost salivating at the thought of Saint medicines compatible with her.

Gulp!

At the moment, she had nothing in her ring that was compatible with her, so she tried to control the desire in her being to understand what else had changed in her existence.

'My talent has increased, my physique is at its peak, and my understanding of cultivation has dramatically improved.' She realized that if she was at level 89 now, she could already attempt to break through to level 90 since all she needed at the moment was spiritual energy.

All the understanding she needed to advance one level had already been completed, even though she was at the beginning of the 9th stage!

'Moreover, even though I only recently ascended, I feel that my soul is already close to ascending to level 82.' She thought about the spiritual wealth of her soul.

Gods could give their heirs a few levels of advancement if they wanted to!

Henricus Longus had not given this to Minos because he had not even started his cultivation then. On the other hand, these heir promotions were by no means stable.

Therefore, they were usually only suitable for those already at the final stage, as they could control their soul more effectively to reduce the damage such an advancement might cause them.

For example, if Ruth had received all of these inheritances when she was a level 95 Demigod, she could have easily reached level 97 with them and still kept her soul stable enough to one day try to advance to level 100.

But at level 81, she had almost no chance of receiving such a benefit because a single full breakthrough would make her soul so unstable that even reaching the middle of the 10th stage would be difficult in the future.

The level 100 dragon remnant had only given Ruth and Minos the maximum level increase they could receive so as not to hinder their journey.

But even though she was nearing the peak of level 81, Ruth realized that she would have to train and meditate hard for at least 6 months before she could attempt a level-up.

She smiled as she realized the essentials. Very good. In about 6 months, I can advance to level 82 and enjoy having top-notch talent!

Now, she could keep up with the rest of the family in terms of cultivation speed, something she had been lagging behind lately, not only because of her pregnancy but also because of her former lower-level talent.

With this in mind, she went to her harem sisters to celebrate!
