?Time passed, and Minos’ party had already been on the planet they had accidentally landed on for about six months.

Their group was still in the same area of about 100 square kilometers where they had arrived, and they had not tried to explore beyond the designated area.

However, even standing in this place where one would hardly understand this world better, they had made progress, and the whole group was stronger after months of standing there.

Through the group’s experiments with special resources using the body parts of the level 100 root, they came up with formulas that could benefit the spiritual humans in the group as much as possible.

After successfully testing these resources, the group began to mass-produce items using the level 100 root body as the main resource but also using water from the surrounding area.

After the first few weeks of testing and mass production of mainly pills, the group began to consume these cultivation resources to increase their overall strength.

In addition to the pills, a portion of the large root body was used by the group’s only cook, who prepared several nutritious dishes using the level 100 corpse during this period. .

After a few weeks of the group using such things to increase their strength more quickly, everyone in the group had increased in level, even those who had advanced immediately upon arriving on this planet!

…

Minos awoke from his cultivation after days of digesting the spiritual power of the fourth pill he had consumed in this world, which had shortened the distance between him and level 93 and given him a breakthrough that should have taken three years of hard cultivation in just six weeks!

When he felt his cultivation stop in the middle of level 93, as solid or more solid than before, Minos looked down at his hands as he felt the power coursing through his veins.

‘I didn’t expect to progress so quickly and achieve such a majestic result.’ He thought to himself, remembering that he had never done this in the Spiritual World, as Henricus Longus’ memories had told him to avoid such a path, given the negative consequences of power increases through artificial methods.

However, the energy and laws of the world where he was now with his crew were so much more powerful than those of the Spiritual World that even an artificial method in this world could provide a stronger cultivation foundation for those who used pills, etc., than the traditional Spiritual World cultivation method.

That’s right, a breakthrough through meditation in the Spiritual World was worth less than a breakthrough through external resources in this world!

This world’s resources also left impurities in the bodies of those who consumed them. However, these impurities were so few in each pill that everyone in Minos’ group felt it was worth it.

That’s why even he, who had cultivated his entire journey without relying on external resources to increase his strength, couldn’t help but use the opportunity in front of him to become stronger faster.

Of course, he knew he couldn’t abuse it by raising his level too quickly. In this world, one also had to strengthen oneself through hard-won progress rather than simply by using resources.

The difference was that for him and his group, their cultivation base was already weak compared to the beings of this world because they had cultivated in the Spiritual World all their lives.

Because of this, Minos realized why the attacks that might have been more effective in the Spiritual World were not as decisive in this world.

He was definitely stronger just by being in this world, and he could use all of his powers at a higher level than he could in the Spiritual World. But such a power, which would be devastating in his world, didn’t seem so terrible against the beings of this world, such as the spiritual root from before or the individuals in his group whom such a being had infected.

Minos had used his black hole to kill seven infected individuals. But if he had used the same level of power in the Spiritual World to deal with opponents of the same strength as those seven, he would have easily defeated them in his homeland. But in this world, he needed Maximilian’s help.

That’s because those seven were only SLIGHTLY strengthened by the level 100 creature. So, what would the individuals from this place have been like instead of those seven? They would definitely be stronger!

That was due to the stronger cultivation base that any cultivable being would have when cultivating in this world!

Therefore, to shorten the distance between themselves and the beings that could exist in this great world, Minos and his whole group were willing to use artificial substances that would shorten their paths to higher levels.

‘I can probably get to level 94 with this method without any problems.’ Minos thought with a smile on his face until he looked in Maximillian’s direction.

Maximilian had become much stronger even though he was already at level 100!

In the last two months, this God’s aura had become about 10% stronger, which happened after he had consumed 8 pills similar to the one Minos had used, consuming 35% of the level 100 root’s body.

Before that, Maximilian was already quite powerful, but he was far behind compared to the Mechanical Emperor killed by Minos and some of the biological Gods of the Mechanic Empire who fought in the first battle of the War of the Worlds. But now, after his improvement over the past few weeks, he was almost on par with the strongest enemy Gods that had invaded the Spiritual World!

Looking at this fellow, Minos knew that his group would depend heavily on Maximilian’s strength for their survival and the success of their plans. Even if he could move faster than this guy, harnessing the power of someone who was already so strong would be crucial for him and his group.

‘We must find other ways for him to increase his strength.’ Minos thought as he narrowed his eyes. ‘More importantly, we need to explore this world and learn more about strengthening ourselves here.’

Until now, they had lived like animals in a place they had found by chance. But this place might be average or even weak compared to other places in this world. Perhaps there were cities in this world where intelligent beings had developed more advanced ways of living and cultivating than those Minos’ group knew.

Staying there could be good, but it could also be a setback for their group!

Thinking about how Maximillian, more than anyone else in his group, needed to find more advanced methods to strengthen himself, Minos couldn’t help but think that the time was coming for them to leave this area.
