The Rise of the Black Plain

Near the Awakening Peak, from an area covered by dark clouds, suddenly a group of totally black creatures, apparently made of rock, left the dark space.

As they walked out of a lake of black liquid, their appearances changed, taking on different shapes from each other, less related to Hell and more 'alive', with feathers, leather, and skin growing on their rocky structures.

As they took on vivid colors, the group of five individuals, between levels 123 and 124, stopped when the transformation of their bodies was complete.

They looked around for a while, understanding where they had arrived.

Their mistress had been in this world before. Memories of her flowed through the minds of these five Supremes, making them understand where they were and the care they needed.

"Let's look for the damned Undar. He hasn't gone far. I can sense that he's still in this world," said the strongest of the group sent by Qhava to hunt down Minos.

"There are Celestials in this world, so let's be careful. Unless we come across Undar, don't let our presence or mission be felt."

"Understood!"

"Now let's find the bloody traitor's tracks!"

They moved on, splitting into three, with the strongest and leader of the group heading off alone to begin his investigations in Uzira.

...

Meanwhile, in another area of the Awakening Peak, a woman with long white hair, at the peak of the level 124, made her way through a secret area of the region.

Alone, she advanced against the horde of undead in the vicinity, soon entering an underground cavern while using the darkness of the area to conceal her movements.

Arriving in an area where there was a statue of a man holding a scythe, Mylecent observed it for a few moments, seeing the fountain of black liquid that was just behind it.

That was the representation of the first Eternal Death, the founder of her old family, whom Mylecent respected, unlike the one in her current position.

She made a gesture of respect to the statue in this cave illuminated by torches of red flame, before walking past it and heading for the fountain there, where her family's portal was.

This wasn't the only place her family could go to Hell, her goal in coming there today. The royal family of Uzira had three methods of entering Uzira. One of them was in the capital city, and the other, besides the place Mylecent was now at, was also on the Awakening Peak.

This was not the case with the family's original outpost, where the founder had left his test, where one would always have to overcome tough challenges similar to the one Minos had gone through in Qhava's Mirror Dimension.

"Sigh! Time to move on!" she said to herself as she took the decisive step into the black fountain, having already waited more than a year since Minos had left.

She had planned to stay in seclusion longer to give Eternal Death time for the mood on the continent to improve. But Mylecent felt she had to get stronger faster and so brought her plans forward.

'The next time I set foot in Uzira, I'll be a True Celestial!'

She thought to herself before disappearing from the area, returning once again to the dimension of her ancestor, where challenges equivalent to the level of the challenger arose whenever one stepped foot there.

Having passed through this place several times in the past wouldn't make it any easier for anyone. The level of difficulty of the challenges changed as their power grew, which always posed great risks—which is why few people ventured there.

As well as being more difficult, there were almost no advantages to using this means of entry into Hell. Thanks to this, Mylecent didn't find any of her family there, having earlier passed the only observer in the area without being noticed.

'Time to start all over again!'

She found herself inside her ancestor's dimension, moments before the dark area she had arrived in changed, initiating her challenge.

...

Months later, in the Violent Sea...

Minos and his women were now traveling deep into the ocean floor, having completed 70% of their journey to the center of the Violent Sea between Uzira and Oqia.

Their current vessel was much faster than the one used by the group on their outward journey to Uzira, so they had made much faster progress in the little over a year and a half that had passed since they left the continent than they had at the beginning of their journey out of Oqia.

A few days ago, Minos had ordered his crew to start the underwater part of their journey, and now the group was sailing around the dark depths of the sea, using only the luminous devices on their vessel to see into the distance.

Meanwhile, the group was experiencing less of the chaotic phenomena that made the Violent Sea famous, and more encounters with sea creatures than on the previous naval journey. Fortunately, their ship was strong enough and most of the beings they encountered went on their way without looking for trouble. The few who provoked them ended up facing the cruel fate shared by many of Minos' historical enemies.

Now the group was sailing through the darkness of the sea, in the silence of a region devoid of almost all life. There, icy waters, capable of freezing living beings to the 11th stage, surrounded the surroundings for vast spaces.

The ship itself was freezing in the middle of its journey through the eternal underwater night, while Minos and his wives were in the main cabin of their vessel.

Each of them had been taking time out to cultivate over the past few months, but they no longer thought about progress through cultivation. Even using the advantages of Temporal Sands, it would take them several millennia to make progress through cultivation.

Only special resources and parts from True Celestials could help them advance in cultivation in less time than that.

But even if they were unlikely to advance with cultivation, they maintained the habit of cultivating, something they had done all their lives.

Minos had already warned his group that they would face great difficulties before long, so the group was meditating constantly, less to get stronger and more to prepare for the problems on their way!
