God's Eyes

Two months passed and before Jason realized it, the entire mountain of mana and pryr stones had been drained off.

Not even a single stone with primordial energy or mana was left and they had been wrung dry of every last particle.

Because of that Jason could already hear Artemis' complaints about not having something to eat for the next few days.

This caused him to sigh deeply and Jason knew that he had to earn some money before he could do anything else.

He had just finished cultivating, and had to adjust himself to the vast number of mana drops he had liquefied in addition to his soulbonds' shared strength that had increased substantially!

Petri had started to cultivate with primordial energy, re-refining his entire body that had only been refined by mana before..

Thus, he didn't exactly enhance Jason's strength and only enhanced the foundation he already had before.

Even then, Jason received a high increase in his physical strength which was everything that mattered.

Meanwhile, Artemis was only slowly becoming stronger, and Jason felt that something weird was going on within her body.

She was seemingly storing mana inside her body and intertwining the vast majority with her blood. It was almost as if Artemis was trying out something.

Only when she had transmitted the thought that she felt something peculiar about her blood, something that wanted to change, that Jason just nodded his head, accepting everything she said.

Artemis was a mutated snowflake owl, and everything about her, right from her existence to the way she had evolved up to now in addition to the fact that she didn't want to stop but continue to evolve was a mystery in itself.

There were certain things neither of them understood about her mutation, and Artemis had to figure them out on her own.

Jason could only tell that Artemis would undergo a metamorphosis soon as her plumage was slowly turning silver.

Maybe she would even evolve into something unheard of, but that was not something Jason could figure out right now.

Even though her cultivation base didn't skyrocket, the mana-infused blood increased Artemis' strength drastically.

As such, even beasts a rank or two above hers might be defeated by Artemis.

Her affinity was also changing and Jason couldn't help but be proud of his two soulbonds.

At the same time, he had just entered the second rank of the Lique stage with more than 1000 drops of liquefied mana!

Despite having liquefied more than a hundred drops of mana in mere two months, Jason was still not satisfied.

He knew that his body could have liquefied more, and that mana was the only thing he lacked.

Unfortunately, it was not healthy for the body to solely rely on absorbing mana from the stones.

Otherwise, he would have just become a frantic blacksmith, forging hundreds or more mana weapons at the Lique stage before exchanging them with mana stones to cultivate.

Thinking about exchanging goods with mana weapons made him want to return to the broken world's center. He wished to enter a forging room to quickly purify a few ores to barter them with mana stones.

This would also help him quiet down Artemis.

At the same time, he thought about Petri, and recalled that his youngest soulbond had already absorbed the mountain of pryr stones at the lique stage!

Thus, he ignored his previous plan and used the next two days to solely earn money.

Forging allowed Jason to adjust his body, the strength he used for every single stroke, and the amount of mana he circulated through his mana veins perfectly.

At the same time, he could control Solaris exceptionally well which was helpful to gauge how much his strength had truly increased.

After two entire days had passed, Jason had exchanged the perfectly purified Lique rank ingots he had quickly forged with two huge piles of peak Lique rank mana and pryr stones.

Once that was done, he had to quickly leave the broken world and return to Janur, where he was supposed to gather with the God's Children and the other human powerhouses!

It was merely two days before New Year's eve that Jason had arrived in Janur.

He had tested his fortified soul conjunction with all three of his soulbonds during his journey back to Janur.

At the same time, it had been an interesting experience to exert the Floating sky movement technique with different movements.

The technique could be used with wings and without, which allowed Jason to test out versatile movements he had never used before.

Jason had also been playing around with his black flame and the ice affinity while trying to use both in one hand that resulted in him maintaining different temperatures in addition to his other abilities at the exact same moment.

This was something he wanted to test out due to different reasons, and he could only look at the others in an apologetic manner when they reunited.

Right now, they weren't wearing the masks anymore because they had officially registered at the liberation tournament.

Other than that, the God's Children, Merl, and the other human powerhouses had been designated as the human race's embassy that had been welcomed by Janur's city lord.

Jason was glad that he hadn't been present at that time.

His only desire was to be left alone so that he could think about certain things while practicing his weaponry before the liberation tournament began, and nothing else.

His mind was at a completely different place, oblivious to the liberation tournament that had been the topmost priority to Jason before.

However, after he had left the broken world, this had changed, because there was something else that had distracted him, something that may be interesting under normal circumstances if it were not extremely dangerous!

When he had emerged from the broken world, he had encountered the talkative guard once again.

Yet, instead of ignoring him, Jason felt like he should listen to the green-winged man.

What he heard was astonishing, and led Jason to change his trajectory.

He had left the continent with the strongest pace he could achieve, only to land on a small island in the middle of the ocean, without anything, but a single, gigantic, newly emerged world bridge!

The world bridge was what the green feathered guard had told him about.

Normally, a new permanent world bridge wouldn't be worth mentioning to anyone, but the one Jason was looking at was definitely worth being mentioned.

While others found only one fact about it interesting and at the same time somewhat frightening, his Emperor Eyes detected multiple interesting yet also confusing factors.

What everyone could perceive were the world bridge's fluctuations and their stability, meaning that it was a permanent world bridge.

However, the more important factor was that the permanent world bridge had lower restrictions than any other world bridge Jason had ever seen before.

'The 2nd threshold of the Prismar stage??'

It was a permanent world bridge that allowed beings at the 2nd threshold of the Prismar stage to enter and leave Argos unhindered!

This was shocking, and would have caused a mass panic in the Olympus federation, let alone on Canir and the Archipelago.

However, the more astonishing thing was that there had yet to emerge a single being from the other side!

This could indicate that the area at which the counterpart of the world bridge in front of Jason had emerged, was located somewhere in a desolate area that had no living being for miles on end.

Because of that, nobody seemed to be alarmed until now, and it was impossible for anyone on Argos to properly destroy the naturally generated world bridge either way.

Their strength had to reach at least that of the restriction, if possible above in order to accomplish such a feat after all!

Despite the thoughts others had, Jason was unable to forget what his Emperor Eyes had seen.

Even several days later when he had reunited with the others, he couldn't help but think about the world bridge that had not only naturally generated on Argos and the other planet, but also that the world bridge would lead him to the world Argos had previously rejected by all means!

It was the world that had forced several world bridges that brought forth hordes of beasts to Argos.

The exact same world Jason had already seen several temporary world bridges earlier before the bridges had disintegrated and vanished into thin air.

Jason had assumed that he had solved all problems by annexing and devouring his father's divine aura, but had this really changed anything?

In the end, Jason and his father's existence on Argos had caused a tremendous chain reaction that could have likely ushered a prosperous era for the entire planet or its doom!

However, what Jason didn't know was that this time it was not his fault for something to happen, because it was the other, unknown planet that had to face fateful changes.

"Is Argos and that other planet connected?...But why and HOW?"
