The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 2317 The Evolution of the War

While Minos and his people continued their journey to leave Zocarro, the situation in the Spiritual World had changed for the worse in the more than two years that had passed since Irpoll became involved in the War of the Worlds.

After the initial attacks on The Adamant Land, Irpoll had successfully reduced the Mechanic Empire to a fraction of its size!

The state that had once been sovereign of its own solar system, with worlds from several galaxies and other solar systems in its own galaxy under its control, had lost almost everything it had in those 2 years.

When the forces oppressed by the Mechanic Empire learned of the fragile situation their rulers were in after being weakened by the Spiritual World and then by Irpoll, many worlds previously under the control of that state rebelled. The end of such a universal empire began for the forces of The Adamant Land.

In less than a year and a half of Irpoll’s involvement in the war, half of the remaining Gods of the Mechanic Empire died, while that state shrank significantly, losing 90% of its domains.

Not only had this state suffered a significant defeat in its homeland, where it had lost control of its own world, but these aliens were also forced to flee to the Spiritual World to seek refuge from its enemies.

As much as the forces of the Spiritual World had not allied with them in those years of war against Irpoll, the forces of that world had no choice but to try to prevent the Irpoll beings from entering their own planet.

Thus, The Adamant Land was currently in Irpoll’s possession, while several of the worlds previously dominated by the Mechanic Empire had become independent again.

For the time being, Irpoll wasn’t interested in these worlds, so these places took the opportunity to reestablish themselves amid their independence, which had returned after such a long time.

Meanwhile, Irpoll had focused their efforts in recent months on attacking the Spiritual World, where they not only wanted to finish eliminating their historic enemy but also to dominate the world of Minos!

The result of this change in the conflict’s focus was obvious. The trail of death across Minos’ home planet had intensified. That world had returned to its terrible situation, which had previously improved with Callie’s stage advance.

…

In the core of the Black Plain Empire, Abby and Gloria were gathered at the imperial army headquarters, where more bodies were stored today than two years ago.

Abby hadn’t had to use her powers to bring any of the war dead back to life in those years, but their situation was rapidly deteriorating. From the latest results of the War of the Worlds, they knew they might have to fight Gods soon!

Unfortunately, their cultivation progress wasn’t fast enough. Even after all these years of war, Gloria had only reached level 91, while Abby had reached the middle of level 93. Moreover, no new Gods had appeared in those two years, which was to be expected since it would take at least a decade for someone in the Spiritual World to reach the 11th stage.

However, Vico, Callie, and Aurae were still alive, which was the only good news. Aside from that, 40% of the Demigods who were alive two years ago had perished in the battles against the Irpoll forces.

As much as the local forces didn’t want to ally themselves with the forces of the Mechanic Empire when Irpoll finally managed to get its men into the Spiritual World, these beings didn’t just target the aliens of The Adamant Land. They attacked indiscriminately, killing in the process as they gained ground to establish their forces on the planet.

The result was the many deaths of Demigods and Sages and the current configuration of powers in the Spiritual World.

At present, three civilizations dominate large portions of this world. One is the Mechanic Empire, which ruled over 80% of the Ancestral Sea after its survivors fled The Adamant Land. Another is Irpoll, which controls 60% of the Divine Continent, and finally, the native forces of this world, who still rule the Central Continent and the Continent of Beasts.

The natives of this world were now more united than ever, as Irpoll had no interest in appearing peaceful. Those who had previously tried to surrender to Irpoll had been summarily killed, which naturally united the native forces of this world to work together.

Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on your point of view, the Ice Age continued, making it difficult to survive in this world and for the extraterritorial forces to quickly dominate the natives.

Anyway, Abby and Gloria were standing next to Emlyn, who had recently advanced to level 90, overcoming her genetic barrier before her evolution.

She had just returned from an expedition to the south of the continent and said to the two most important women in the empire.

“The situation in the Evergreen Region is not good. After the core of the Spiritual Church moved here, that region was greatly weakened. Now, the aliens from Irpoll are concentrating on trying to infiltrate our state through that area.” Emlyn said in a worried tone.

The closer the enemies got to them, the worse it would get. For now, the East Sea protected them. The sea was the worst place to travel these days because of the Ice Age.

The barriers that had protected the native population of the Spiritual World were the oceans and the Ice Age. But if aliens entered their continent, everything could be lost very quickly.

Four months ago, the Divine Continent was still under the control of the native forces. However, when Irpoll set up their first outpost in the area, they quickly expanded their domination efforts, reaching the current state of having more land on the continent than the native forces in the area.

Aware of what had happened on the strongest continent in their world, these two women were naturally very concerned about keeping their continent under the total domination of the natives.

If this situation changed, they would be in serious trouble!

Already knowing that Minos hadn’t reached The Adamant Land and hadn’t made contact with Irpoll, these two women already assumed that he and the others had died. As such, they were no longer waiting for outside help and had only considered what they had at their disposal.

Ruth clenched her fists and said. “Let’s take some bodies to the capital of this area. I’ll go and wait for the enemies in the Spatial Kingdom of the Spiritual Church.

When the time comes, I’ll bring Her Majesty Willow Sista back to life to fight for our world again!”
