God's Eyes

Taking their time to figure out which mission they should solve first, Jason couldn't help but feel a little bit down.

He wanted to pick easy missions which they could solve in a day before returning.

However, that was not possible, and by glancing through the missions that rewarded Soa crystals, he felt even more miserable.

'These missions could be simply called suicidal…Does that mean, I cannot acquire Soa crystals before entering the Ascendion stage?'

The first missions that rewarded Soa crystals were at the fourth Tier.

This meant that there would certainly be Ascendion stage beasts that they would have to kill.

If not that then, at least, the mission demanded them to enter the territory of strong Ascendion beasts in order to procure something extremely rare.

After figuring this out, Jason couldn't help but feel that Elder Ben was using them for his selfish interests.

But, after he gave it a second thought, this only seemed obvious.

If he were to find someone, who wanted something desperately, Jason would do something similar.

Nobody was selfless in this world and there were always some hidden intentions behind offering help, that too, to a stranger.

Sadly, he was not allowed to purchase the Soa crystals, but that was not the most annoying thing for Jason.

He was fine with completing missions to procure them.

However, without knowing how many Soa crystals he required for the true soul awakening, the only thing Jason could do, would be to continue completing missions.

And this would have to continue until the moment his intuition told him that it was more than enough.

Jason hoped that his body would tell him this, because otherwise, he would unnecessarily gather too many crystals.

He would just accumulate a larger chunk to be on the safer side and end up wasting time on acquiring more than required.

'When I enter the Ascendion stage, and I undergo the second Celestia bloodline awakening, I should be able to complete the suicidal Tier-4 missions, I hope'

He was not sure if that was how it worked, but being able to defeat those Cultivators at the Low Ascendion stage would automatically elevate his strength manifold by entering the Ascendion stage himself.

Following that, his bloodline awakening would increase his strength once again, meaning that he was bound to defeat Mid Ascendion stage cultivators without a problem.

At least, that was what Jason assumed to be the case because he had no idea what exactly the second bloodline awakening would do with him.

Without a plan in mind, he could only figure out that he had to start doing something before he would die at old age from overthinking.

With that in mind, he chose the Tier-2 and Tier-3 missions that appeared to be the best to him.

After that, he went to the counter where a receptionist noted down that Jason Stellar, an Agran at the Peak of the Prismar stage, and Jennifer Styx, a halfling at the Lowest Ascendion stage, would complete the four missions they had picked.

"If the missions are not completed in the given time span, we will label them as failed, and both of you receive a one star deduction for each failed mission. Are you two still willing to complete four missions at once?"

Cultivators would often choose multiple missions at once and it was nothing new.

However, when they would attempt to solve all of them together, they would lose track of time.

As a result, though they managed to complete the missions, they received less rewards than someone who would focus on one, or at most, two missions at once.

Jason had already seen the time limit of each mission, which caused him to nod his head, while Jennifer followed suit, nearly at the same time as his soulbonds.

The receptionist saw the soulbonds alongwith their clingy and adorable behaviour which caused him to smile subtly.

He couldn't help but wonder how exactly such cute soulbonds were able to support their binder to gain strength.

Fortunately, the receptionist was able to see past their cute appearance as he perceived their strong energy currents.

All of Jason's soulbonds, except the squirrel that laid on top of his head, were at the Peak of the Prismar stage, seemingly awaiting Jason to fuse his soul and vessel.

Maybe that was exactly what was the case, but instead of focussing on the four other soulbonds, the young receptionist's eyes flicked to the top of Jason's head, roaming through the silver headring.

There, he got a glimpse of Sira, the sacred squirrel that didn't really have a cultivation base, yet, it felt extremely powerful.

Sensing that something was dangerous, but being unable to tell how or why it seemed dangerous without a cultivation base, was something one had to be extremely careful of.

Knowing that, the receptionist simply accepted that both Jason and Jennifer were nodding their head, understanding the rules of the mission hall.

Once the formalities were completed, they decided to leave instead of spending more time thinking needlessly about the possible dangers of the Ninad beast realm.

Instead, Jason and Jennifer wanted to get going with their missions, solving all of them at once.

This was nearly possible because all of the missions led them towards the east.

First, they had to find certain herbs in the territory of a horde of beasts, which they had to decimate to keep their population in check.

Those were two missions they had to do, followed by the third and fourth missions that were similar.

The only difference was that they had to search for a person in the territory of millions of Lique stage beasts.

Jason was not sure why Lique stage beasts had a large enough territory to harbor millions of them, but that was not exactly bothersome for him.

Using his Emperor Eyes would eliminate half of the obstacles in finding the exact person.

Simultaneously, the last mission was to figure out the issue of the lands that were near a Prismar stage beast territory.

All of this was quite simple to solve and achieve.

And, Jason believed that the journey towards the territory for the Tier-3 mission would take the longest, which roughly amounted to one day.

Considering this, Jason couldn't help but smile subtly feeling that the four missions would quickly be resolved.

In the end, they wouldn't even reward him a lot, to begin with.

As such, he could rush them a little bit, which was exactly what they were doing.

Leaving the city hurriedly, they travelled towards the east, ensuring to stick to the borderlines.

Knowing where they were allowed to fly and where it was supposed to be a little bit more dangerous helped them accelerate their flying speed.

This made it possible for him to reach the designated area for both of the Tier-3 missions.

Conquering it was a piece of cake as Jason simply allowed his soulbonds to wreak havoc.

All of them charged at the horde of beasts, killing three-quarters of the beasts that dared cross their path.

Meanwhile, he kept looking for the herbs he was ought to gather, before collecting the corpses of the Prismar stage beasts his soulbonds left behind.

The entire territory looked more like a battlefield, and Jason couldn't even smile at the sight of his soulbonds massacring the Prismar stage beasts.

From the looks of it, they seemed to be way too happy being allowed to slaughter other beasts, which was almost frightening.

However, this only told Jason that it had been way too long since he allowed his soulbonds to fight against anyone.

'Am I just too scared to let them fight? In fear of them dying?'
