A few dayster...


    Minos was controlling his yacht alongside Starw as they passed through a more dangerous area of the East Sea.


    The East Sea was considered the safest for traveling between the three major continents of the Spiritual World. However, there were dangers even in the safest ces.


    In particr, therge flow of beings from all the continents andrge inds of this world traveling through this sea was something that greatly elevated tensions in parts of this great sea.


    In the central part of the East Sea, most of these crews were to be found, for that was where one would have to pass in order to reach one''s destination.


    Elves, dragons, humans from the Central Continent and the Divine Continent, all of them and more, passed through this area when traveling to one of their destinations.


    With so many beings of different origins passing so close to each other, one had to be aware and be careful not to get involved in a chaotic conflict!


    Minos knew this, and he and Starw were traveling on this part of their journey no longer alternating shifts where one worked and the other cultivated.


    ...


    While sailing this morning, Minos suddenly saw a dot in the distance and narrowed his eyes. "What is that? A ship?" He asked, not being able to see well enough given the distance.


    But Starw could see better than he could, and as he narrowed his eyes, he noticed that it was not a ship. "No, that looks like an ind."


    "Ind?" Minos frowned, curious about this ce, as it was not on his map.


    "Hmm, there seem to be two crews stationed there. We''d better avoid them." She stated, looking more closely at that ce that had the size of a city of 50,000 humans.


    There was no poption in such a ce, just a small forest that seemed interesting to stop and camp.


    Sleeping on a ship was never like sleeping on firmnd. So asionally, evenrge pirate groups would stop in inding to rest for a few days.


    Starw could see that the two crews were doing just that, noting the tents on the outskirts of that ind.


    But as their boat approached that ind, Minos slowly saw that ce more closely and realized what it was.


    His expression rxed, and he contemted that ce more closely, seeing some ruins at one end of that ind.


    "So it was actually you..." He muttered, catching the eye and his mount.


    "Hmm? What do you mean?" Starw didn''t understand what Minos was muttering.


    Minos continued looking at that ind and said. "The other part of that ruined building you see is in the End area, in my territory. That piece ofnd has long since been detached from that area."


    In the Spiritual World, some theorists said that one day all the continents of this world were parts of one gigantic maind.


    After Minos'' discoveries over the years, today, he knew that this was not a theory but a fact!<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    The ancient theorists were not entirely right after all, what existed before the present era was many timesrger than they imagined!


    Seeing that ce in the central part of the East Sea, Minos could not help but look with different eyes at those ruins, now possessing much deeper knowledge.


    Starw didn''t really understand what Minos was talking about and kept looking in the direction of those ancient ruins, which still had good quality considering the time that had passed.


    He asked. "Do you believe that this has millions of years since its construction?"


    "Millions of years?" She frowned her eyebrows. "Impossible. No building wouldst that long abandoned and half-built."


    High-level grade-4 buildings couldst long if they were well cared for or at least not destroyed. But even they would be degraded after a few hundred thousand years if they went through what those ruins had gone through.


    "But it is possible. I affirm that to you." Minos said without going into detail. "Knowing about the body in my Spatial Kingdom, do you still doubt things of such a nature?"


    Starw knew about the skeletons and the preserved corpse in the Spatial Kingdom. After all, they were too big to hide.


    Thinking about it, she was silent, feeling that she might be wrong.


    "In any case, what is the relevance of this?" She asked him. "If that''s millions of years old, it''s really amazing. But how would it matter to us?"


    Minos continued to control his yacht, passing by that ind without attracting the attention of the crews stopped there.


    He then said. "That is very important. What if the current limits are not the maximum we can reach? What if there is ater?


    For millions of years, the idea that there was nothing after the 11th stage had been propagated, and the development of our world has not progressed since then.


    But soon, we may face somethinging from outside the Spiritual World... Maybe they know something!


    Maybe these extraterrestrial creatures know how to exin the fantastic past behind our world and have the answers that were missing for us to achieve a crucial breakthrough.


    Starw, I believe the importance of this ce behind us is that it is one of the signs that we can dream of something beyond what we have learned."


    "Something beyond? Do you think this is a relic of an ancient civilization that has surpassed the 11th stage?" She looked at him, not finding some of his words strange since she knew some of Minos'' fears about the future. However, this theory of his was too much for her to ept right away.


    "Maybe... Maybe not from them, but from someone who has attained knowledge about them and their technologies." Minos said with a glint in his eyes.


    He still had to investigate the ind that had fallen upon him and was now at the bottom of the Ancestral Sea, but he also needed to understand better the artifact left by Fah''um of Dunov. But he felt that as he followed the traces left by those rted to that time, he would one day discover the truth.


    ''So we have to solve the problem with the Longus family fast! I want as soon as possible to reach the necessary to investigate the North Sea.'' He thought as he looked in the direction of that ce full of dangers to the north.


    Meanwhile, Starw pondered Minos'' words, feeling that as absurd as they were, they could not be easily refuted, at least not while one knew about the existence of Fah''um of Dunov.


    She looked at that ind again. ''Is it really? Is there something above level 100?''
