Let's Train Heroine

After a few days of relaxation, it was time to get to work. Lucan, Maris, Kerum, Nyx, Bing, and Virnda all gathered together.

Meri and the other Saints had started their reincarnations, which meant it would be many years before Maris could see them again. Aurelia felt a bit disappointed that she hadn't been able to include the strongest Saint in history on the team, but she knew it was alright. With Maris—the second strongest Saint—as well as three Evil Magicians, a genius swordsman, and the Ancient Ice Dragon, they were more than equipped.

"Alright, everyone," Aurelia began, "let's go over the basics of how this world operates. We're currently on the Endless World. Honestly, I'm not strong enough to grasp just how vast this world is, but I do know that the Endless World has two main continents, and we live on the Zero Continent."

She looked around, noting that everyone was listening attentively, which brought a smile to her face.

"The Zero Continent has 72 Regions and millions of semi-regions. Our Saint's Region is actually a semi-region. All semi-regions are sealed-off territories from the outside world, where time moves thousands of times faster than in the main world. These semi-regions were created by powerful people like me, with the hope of eventually turning them into real Regions. My goal is to elevate our semi-region into a true Region, and not just any Region, but the top one—the number one Region on the Zero Continent."

Lucan nodded but asked, "I understand that part, but what exactly do you gain from it?" Enjoy new chapters from empire

"Once a semi-region becomes a full Region, I'll gain strength as its creator, since it'll be connected directly to me. If our Region becomes the strongest, then I'll be the most powerful being on the Zero Continent. That's my goal: to become the strongest."

"So how does a semi-region actually become a Region?" Maris asked.

"Good question," Aurelia replied with a nod and a smile, and told them the four thing they need to process of Transforming a Semi-Region into a Region

1. Collecting Recognition from Other Regions: For a semi-region to evolve into a full Region, it must first gain recognition from other established Regions. This is achieved by demonstrating strength, stability, and a unique identity. Maris and the team will need to compete in various Region-wide tournaments and alliances, showcasing their prowess and the potential of their semi-region.

2. Achieving Unity and Territory Expansion: The semi-region must unify its smaller territories and expand its borders. Kerum, with his influence and leadership, will be responsible for coordinating this unification.

3. Establishing a Distinct Identity: Each Region must have a unique culture or defining strength. The team's abilities and powers—such as Maris's Saintly magic, the Evil Magicians' skills, and Bing's Ancient Ice Dragon lineage—will serve as cornerstones, making their region stand out from others. Lucan and Virnda can work together to craft a mythology or cultural symbol for their Region, inspiring the people.

4. Passing the Region Trials: Finally, there are trials or tests that the semi-region must undergo to gain formal status. These trials are set by a council of powerful entities on the Zero Continent. Aurelia will prepare the team to face these challenges, but she'll need each member's unique strengths to pass.

Kerum stood on the steps of the grand temple, gazing out at the lands of the Saint's Region. Though he was the Archpriest, he had never imagined the task of uniting the entire region would fall upon him. It was a daunting mission, but he need to accomplish.

Gathering his closest disciples, Kerum outlined his vision. "For too long, we've been divided," he began, his voice echoing through the temple hall. "Our kingdom and countries are isolated, each with its own rules and traditions. If we are to prosper, we must stand together, as one Saint's Region, under the teachings of the temple."

One disciple, a young acolyte named Rana, looked at him with wide eyes. "But, Archpriest, some countries are very isolated, and others are resistant. They hold onto their old ways."

Kerum nodded thoughtfully. "That's why this will take time and patience. We can't force our beliefs onto people; instead, we'll offer guidance and show them the benefits of unity. The temple can bring stability, support, and strength."

For the next several months, Kerum and his followers traveled from country to village, meeting with elders, chiefs, and community leaders. He approached each one with respect, listening to their concerns, their fears, and their hopes. With every encounter, he emphasized the temple's mission—not as an institution of power, but as a beacon of light for all.

In one village, Kerum met with a stubborn chief named Orlin, who initially refused to even hear him out. "What does the temple know of our struggles?" Orlin scoffed. "We've managed on our own just fine."

Kerum didn't argue; instead, he observed the village's lack of resources and listened to its people's challenges. Over time, he quietly began helping: organizing food distributions, offering healers to tend to the sick, and providing teachers to educate the youth. Slowly, the village softened, and Orlin recognized that the temple's influence was bringing real, positive change.

Weeks turned into months, and each village added to the temple's growing influence. In each community, Kerum left behind a small group of temple representatives to help address local needs and maintain a connection. Over time, these representatives grew into trusted advisors, and the temple's teachings spread organically.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

By the end of the first year, Kerum had reached nearly half of the Saint's Region, and word of his mission had spread even further. Many villages now came to him, eager to join, and his initial skeptics were beginning to turn into allies. He saw the Saint's Region beginning to transform, one country at a time, slowly uniting under the temple's guidance.

As the second year approached, Kerum's vision was finally within reach. He knew by the end of this year, the saint region would be fully under him, the temple.

While Kerum was busy with the unification efforts, Maris, Lucan, Virnda, Bing, and Nyx were training under Aurelia.

Aurelia explained to them, "The Saint's Region is currently a semi-region, which is why your powers affect the entire area, granting you a Region-Class Title. However, once the semi-region transforms into a full region, your powers will only influence a limited area, effectively reducing your strength to the level of an A-Class."
