Chapter 2170 Three Years
After two months of working hard to bring the egg back to life, Minos made some progress, reversing more than 2,000 years in the egg's time.
Unfortunately, he would have to undo a few million years to get the egg back to the way it was when it still had a metabolism.
At that rate, it would take him more than a thousand years to achieve what he thought was necessary to return the egg to a living state, something completely beyond his means.
Minos was only in his second century of life. How could he commit to something that would cost him more than 10 centuries of hard work?
That means he wouldn't just have to put the egg aside for 10 centuries. He would have to give up his cultivation and focus solely on reversing the egg's time by more than a thousand years to get any results!
That wasn't too bad considering that his life expectancy was currently much longer than 20,000 years, but it was a totally impossible mission, considering that in 5 or 6 years, aliens would invade this world, and their strongest enemies would be interested in his head.
It was possible that Minos would eventually get stronger and achieve a better time conversion, but until then, it would also take a long time for him to focus on the egg at the moment.
With these discoveries over these two months, Minos finally gave up what he had been doing this morning, concluding that it would be better to leave the egg project for the future.
But these two months were by no means wasted. Not only had he learned more about the limits of his ability to control time, but he had also noticed many peculiarities about Panvuter through this egg.
The egg wasn't like the giant skeletons that littered the Spiritual World. It was much more like the corpse of Fah'um of Dunov than the giant skeletons corroded by time.
But even compared to that great corpse, which made Minos' entire spatial realm evolve, this egg seemed to have immortal energy and natural laws that were much more accessible than the corpse.
Minos realized this during his time working on the egg and came to the conclusion that since this egg had not formed a body and consciousness before its death, it had stored energy and natural laws in a way that was much easier for someone to absorb such essences!
With this in mind, Minos felt he could use this egg instead of the giant skeletons to feed his people for the next few years before the aliens arrived.
Considering the size of the egg and the amount of immortal energy that Minos realized he could absorb from it, he felt he could use it for the next few years and still keep enough in the egg to try to revive it in the future.
So, at the end of his time on the floating island in the middle of the sea, he stored the egg in a high-level spatial ring and set off for the Black Plain Empire.
With that matter settled for the time being, he would now hand over the Divine Medicine to Callie, and then it would be time for him to go into seclusion with the rest of the family to prepare for the arrival of the aliens!
...
In the blink of an eye, three years have passed since Minos left Elves Island after the Continental Tournament.
In that time, the Spiritual World saw the Ice Age intensify, with many places on the planet becoming completely uninhabitable.
Millions of creatures from various races perished, and the powers from the weakest to the strongest in the world remained as inactive as possible.
The biggest movement in the Spiritual World at the moment was the movement of food resources, which some states slowly began to use in their alliances.
With losses from the freezing of crops and the slaughter of animals, the world's food problems were slowly coming to a head.
The crisis had not yet reached the point where people were banding together to steal food in transit, but the situation was getting worse by the day.
Meanwhile, the powers of the world, with the exception of the Black Plain Empire, had almost completely stopped advancing their technological levels. Now, almost everyone was focused on only three things.
Surviving the Ice Age, producing the most advanced items in their possession on a large scale, and finally cultivating to the highest level possible within the time the world had left before the aliens arrived.
As a result, it had become increasingly difficult to find experts above level 80 in practically the entire Spiritual World, as most of them were cultivating in the Spatial Kingdom.
Meanwhile, the few who were doing something else were hard at work producing items or enforcing the laws of their respective territories.
The Black Plain Empire was the only one still researching how to make better items, using Voyager primarily for their research.
However, the empire had already begun mass production of many artifacts to prepare the army's soldiers for the time when they would have to protect the Stuart Family's territory.
Meanwhile, the Empire's strongest was in the Spatial Kingdom of Minos, where Willow was finishing her level 100 advance!
After years of hard work, Willow was about to become a god, the third to reach that level in the Spatial Kingdom of Minos.
A month ago, Aarav had completed his advancement and replaced Henry in the new headquarters of the Black Plain Army shortly after shocking the world alongside Minos. No one expected new gods to appear, so Aarav's appearance at level 100 surprised and delighted many people.
Many were also shocked by Minos' real power, but with practically 4 Gods deeply connected to him, he managed to continue in his position without risking his Spatial Kingdom in the meantime.
Anyway, just like that, Willow left Minos' Spatial Kingdom this afternoon, full of energy and vitality after overcoming her bottleneck and undergoing the potentially life-saving change that had previously come very close to ending her life.
...
"Thank you, Minos; I'll never forget the opportunity you gave me," Willow said to Emperor Stuart as she appeared next to him at the exit of the Spatial Kingdom in the area of the former Dry City.
Ali Aarav immediately approached them and congratulated her for being the first human of this generation to reach the 11th stage.
Minos looked at Willow and said. "Now you'll have to join forces with Henry and Aarav to take care of the entrance to the Spatial Kingdom. I don't care how you do your splitting. Just make sure there is a God here 100% of the time."
The two Gods looked at each other, indicating they would discuss it later.
"What now?" Willow asked. "What happened while I was in seclusion? How much time do we have before the war?"
