Sword Flash gave everyone a memory crystal containing the information about the world they were going to defend, its people, and the invaders they were going there to repel.
The world was called Aries. This was because the people who lived on it loved to fight.
There are two main inhabitants on the small world, Aries. They are the tundra people and the vulcan people.
The tundra people are blue humanoid beings who like ice and living in cold environments. The Vulcan people are the direct opposite of the tundra people. They are red and like living in hot places.
These two people fight regularly. They take turns controlling the world, and the race that is superior at a time dictates the general climate of the world.
Apparently, the climate changes between hot and cold in a haphazard manner that is entirely dependent on the superior race at that time. The superior race is determined by which race has impressed the world enough to have one of its members become the sovereign of the world.
The sovereign of the world is the sole rank 4 being in the entire world. So this Sovereign is the strongest being in the world. Not only that, their will and preference also affect the climate of the whole world.
When the tundra race is in charge, the world becomes cold and freezes over. This condition makes it easy for the members of the tundra race to reproduce and prosper.
But the sovereign of their race will eventually. When this happens, it will be the turn of the vulcan race to rule the world.
The person who will become the next Sovereign will be determined by who fights the best when the vulcan race wages war against the Tundra race.
Once a member of the Vulcan is selected by the world spirit to become the next Sovereign, the climate of the world will change again. The whole world will become hot, and the frozen lands will give way to deserts in some places.
This change will cause the vulcan to rise, while the tundra race will be suppressed. But this is only temporary. The power and climate will change again.
This cyclical change of power and climate is the normal and natural order of the world. But this changed when someone became discontent and allowed invaders to enter the world.
The traitor betrayed the whole world because they wanted power. They got the power they wanted, but it came at the cost of the world being thrown into chaos and war by an invading force.
The world of Ethera had been in contact with the world of Aries before the invasion. So it was easy for the people of Aries to reach out to the world of Ethera for help.
This is where the Blood Skull sect comes in. They are to go to the Aries sect to help them resist the invasion.
There was more information about the capabilities of the Vulcan and Tundra people in the memory crystal. There was also information about the invaders and their capabilities.
The golden core elders and the patriarchs spent some time digesting all of these pieces of information. Then they spent a much longer time talking about their plans.
They spoke about many things, ranging from large-scale mobilization of forces to individual forces placement. At the end of the day, they determined the day they would go to reinforce the Aries world.
The leadership assessment had given them a deadline by which they must already be in the world of Aries and fighting the invaders. The date that the Blood Skull sect picked to go to Aries will allow them to be on the ground in Aries before this deadline.
The date they picked was a month later. The deadline is six months away, but Sword Flash wanted them to be in the Aries world as soon as possible.
When the meeting ended and everyone returned, they began a period of frantic preparations. The golden core elders were busy preparing for the fight, but it was the patriarchs who were the busiest.
The patriarchs announced to the inner sect that, in light of the recent performance of the sect in the war against the Red and Blue Fire sect, the sect would be training by participating in a big military action in a month's time.
The foundation establishment members of the sect were not told where they were going, who they were going to fight, or the true reason why they were going there to fight. But the patriarchs instilled a sense of seriousness into them, so despite being mostly ignorant of what they were going to do, they took the upcoming military action seriously.
They had to take it seriously after they were warned that many of them could die in the military training. No one wanted to die, so they did everything they were asked to prepare before the battle.
While the patriarchs were preparing the foundation establishment juniors, they were also preparing the tools that they would use for the upcoming war. These tools were mostly the war machines that were looted from the Red and Blue Fire sect.
They prepared the mobile fortresses and the carrier platforms. They also prepared battleships and floating fortresses for the war.
The Red and Blue Fire sect hadn't been able to use their floating fortresses during the war because of the ban on flight, so the Blood Skull sect would have to help them use the floating fortresses in order to ensure that they don't go to waste.
Since the world of Aries was weak, they couldn't use rank 5 artifacts there, at least not for a prolonged period of time. This meant that they could only make use of the rank 4 mobile fortresses and the rank 4 floating fortresses.
Another thing that restricted what they could use was the possibility of their arrival in Aries being sensed and interrupted by either the world spirit of Aries or by their enemies in the world of Aries. This was stated in the guide given to them to help them prepare for the war.
