The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 2368 The Foundations of Minos' Galactic Empire

After the first month of rest for Minos and his family at the core of the empire, it was time for them to focus on what they needed to do to rebuild the state and prepare the family's future departure.

The two level 102 Sovereigns—who had come with Minos and Ruth were in the Spiritual World—was now helping to rebuild the great infrastructure that had been lost during the war.

The Ice Age was getting weaker by the day, but with the combined efforts of the Sovereigns in Minos' group, the negative climatic effects had disappeared by the end of their first month in the Spiritual World.

With no more of the storms and very low temperatures of before, ordinary ships began to ply the planet's seas, while sea creatures left their hiding places to return to their normal pre-war lives.

Meanwhile, Minos and Ruth tended to the empire, which had changed in terms of its population, but also in terms of the land available to the local monarch.

...

In the imperial throne room of the Black Plain Empire, Minos stood before his children and wives, as well as the nobles and soldiers of his state.

It was there that Minos discovered the true extent of his lands, which basically encompassed over 75% of the Central Continent, not just a few states in the western part of the continent where Vico's domain was located.

After the many departures from the continent in recent weeks, there were 6 billion inhabitants left in Minos' domain, most of them human, between levels 50 and 70.

This was a large population for the empire, but tiny for the area of the continent that already had over 15 billion humans before the war.

Minos then began his rebuilding plans with something simple.

Effective immediately, all residents of the empire will be entitled to a parental allowance, which will assist in the upbringing of their children until the age of 30. Every individual born since the commencement of the war will be entitled to this right, and this policy will be prolonged for the subsequent century.

All those born during this period will have access to the army or other state institutions, as long as they meet the basic requirements for membership," Minos said, announcing his policy to encourage the population to reproduce in order to restore local numbers.

In terms of food policy, I hereby declare that the territory previously under the control of Albano, Rosser, Flaming Empire, Brown Kingdom, and Cromwell Kingdom shall henceforth serve as the empire's agricultural granary.

We will expropriate all these lands for the construction of plantation fields. The cities in this area will be limited to 200,000 inhabitants each. The entry and exit of people from this area will be guarded by army troops," Minos showed he was planning to restructure the continent, thinking about how these lands had been devastated and abandoned.

It was also an excellent area for agriculture, where the state could focus its efforts on restoring the many lost plantations without having to invest too much. Since they planned to increase the population of the continent, a well-developed food policy would also be needed to avoid food shortages.

Regarding matters of religion, Gloria and the Spiritual Church will be actively engaged in the ongoing process of adapting the Church's outdated beliefs to align with our current circumstances. The Church has a long-standing history and has encountered numerous challenges. We intend to restructure it, discard specific beliefs, and prioritize new concepts."

He couldn't give up a religion with billions of believers. It had a lot of potential to help war survivors get on with their lives after all the disaster. But it wasn't worth using all the old mechanisms of the church.

The people currently had so much faith in Minos that it would be foolish of Gloria's group to waste the opportunity to make him the central figure of this religion.

"We will create the Space Division of the Black Plain Army. It will be in charge of developing the technologies I will pass on to the army and controlling the entry and exit of living beings from the world." Minos said the most important thing to some of the strongest people there, who obviously had every interest in eventually breaking into the universe.

"We will plan a policy to define who can leave the planet and who can't, as well as the cost of doing so." He considered how stupid it would be to let anyone with resources leave the Spiritual World.

Imagine if a Spiritual Saint left the planet? Such a person would probably die at the first danger.

From Minos' point of view, only a high-level Demigod or God could venture out like that. And even someone like that would have to pay a large sum to leave the world.

Wouldn't it be interesting if new high-level demigods or gods appeared and immediately left the planet!

In order to maintain the strength of the world and to encourage the population not to leave the planet so quickly, Minos formed a group to plan all the rules for leaving and entering the planet.

What he was doing was basically the same as what other civilizations throughout the universe were doing in civilizations that had achieved the ability to leave their home civilizations throughout the universe were doing in civilizations that had achieved the ability to leave their home planet and travel the universe.

Suppose some God in the future left the Spiritual World. There would be no problem. As long as they paid a certain amount, enough for the Minos' empire to raise a high-level Demigod with the potential to become a God in the future, that would be fine.

If someone like that didn't like the rules, well, that's what the Stuart family was for.

The Stuart family, or rather the core of the family, would leave the world, but they would monitor what was going on in their galaxy. If problems arose in the future, Minos would send people he trusted to enforce the rules!

Unbeknownst to them, those in the imperial throne room were witnessing the birth of Minos' galactic empire, the beginning of a new era for the Spiritual World.

Minos' decisions today would be the most important laws that would make the state and the world grow and eventually reach higher positions in the galaxy.

Since there was no one in the entire galaxy who could 10:51

contradict Minos, they would implement everything without objection, without delay, with the strongest remnants accepting his words as supreme and inviolable orders.

But that was only the beginning. Except for Minos and Ruth, the others would only truly understand his decisions as time passed and their consequences gradually became apparent.

Meanwhile, Minos would pass on his knowledge of the universe, alien languages, and the cultivation ranks above level 100 to his state's new order of elite soldiers, who would be responsible for traveling the galaxy and dealing with the planets Minos planned to conquer in the coming months!
