After Minos' encounter with the level 96 Sky Whale, 15 months passed!
In those months, the Sky Whale Tribe and the Black Plain Empire would hold some talks and then sign a treaty of alliance and partnership regarding alien technologies. They would start exchanging information 3 months after that fateful encounter.
In the months to come, the Black Plain Empire would use the agreements made with the world's strongest powers to increase their understanding of alien methods, combining what each of their allies understood to reach new conclusions.
That would be a time of great growth for Minos' empire when everyone in the army would be greatly strengthened by the upgrades to the previously developed techniques that had already been released to all soldiers.
With better techniques, better cultivation items, more efficient pills, and better arrays, practically everyone in Minos' army was evolving while also increasing their combat prowess.
