After all, the only way that an organization had to increase the power of its heroic assets was to nurture promising human cultivators.
The Hive had less than forty complete heroic cultivators in total, its power was extremely lacking in that aspect compared to the three big nations.
Yet, they had some sort of advantage.
Except for the Empire which had a central power able to control the entirety of its cultivators, the Utra nation and the Papral nation could only gain access to a percentage of the entirety of their heroic assets.
That was caused by their political system, the noble families held a large percentage of the heroic assets in the Utra nation and the same went for the sects in the Papral nation, the Royals and the Council couldn't deploy powerful cultivators as easily as the Empire, not without giving away part of their profits at least.
That inevitably led the Council and the Elbas family to give up to part of their control over their areas of influence to match the Empire in its exploration of the new continent, opening many paths were the Hive could infiltrate.
New encampments were created, the Hive decided to directly affect the nations under the control of the Utra nation and Papral nation that time without even trying to hide its operations that much.
Of course, the Hive could move so freely on the old continent because it was completely forsaking any claim on the new land, at least for the time being.
Like that, time passed.
The Hive continued to recruit human cultivators from the nations that sought freedom while the three big nations kept exploring and investing resources on the new land to find other leftovers of divine beings and to make some areas livable by their human assets.
Also, their heroic assets were making incredible gains there, many cultivators were enlightened or found the resources that they needed to continue in their respective experiments.
Simply speaking, the human assets of the Hive became stronger while the three big nations increased the power of their heroic ones.
The latter was obviously benefiting more but there wasn't much that the Hive could do, it could only wait until it was strong enough to claim a piece of the new land.
Every organization seemed to have entered a frenzied state and each one of them was managing to avoid useless battles, it was pointless to fight in front of such an abundance of resources, the war for the most resourceful territories would come after the entire continent had been explored.
Signs of trouble though appeared on island nineteen of the Coral archipelago.
Almost four years had passed since the piece of Immortal Lands had fallen in the Mortal ones.
The exploration and colonization of the new continent were continuing and its deepest parts had yet to be reached but some information began to leak outside of the three factions studying it.
The environment of the archipelago had also changed, more defenses had been built and even the structures on its poorest islands had been completely improved.
Also, its population had doubled since the war with the continent, cultivators filled the streets of the cities on each island.
Yet, a peculiar and scary event attracted the gazes of all the human and heroic cultivators of the archipelago.
Black clouds gathered in the air above island nineteen, thick sparks filled their surface which spanned for hundreds of meters, they obscured the entirety of the island with their shape.
The island that had suffered from a Heaven Tribulation just a few years ago saw the same event happening again.
