God's Eyes

Jason didn't have much to do, and he had planned to cultivate until his combat prowess alone would be enough to overwhelm a beast at the 1st threshold of the Prismar stage.

Unfortunately, he had been interrupted after almost four months of peaceful cultivation. Artemis warned him about the appearance of humans who had entered the stone field area.

This was interesting because Jason didn't expect a human city to be nearby.

Because of that, he had decided to stop cultivating while his three soulbonds returned to the soul world that had grown gradually with his cultivation progress.

Jason hadn't even noticed it, but the number of soul crystals he had created had almost reached 50 which was much more than he required for now.

According to other human powerhouses, a beast with a single solidified prismarine crystal required around 11 soul crystals, meaning that a beast at the peak of the first threshold of the Prismar stage required roughly 100 soul crystals.

This had made Jason wonder how exactly the future progress with his soul world was going to be.

It was not unlikely for him to require thousands of soul crystals once his soulbond reached the peak of the Prismar stage. Hence, Jason couldn't help but feel that the Ascendion stage would bring forth huge changes.

This was pure speculation as it was unlikely for him to require millions of soul crystals to make a beast reach the Ascendion stage.

His soul-awakened soul world would merge with his vessel that was in fact his mana core.

As such, many changes would happen at that time, and Jason was curious to know what exactly would change.

Unfortunately, it would still require some time before he would reach the Ascendion stage, let alone the Prismar stage.

Taking his current situation into account, it would take him nine months until he would reach the peak of the Lique stage with a total of 10,000 liquefied mana drops.

This duration was by no means long and extremely short, but it required him to be fully focused, cultivate while being seated at a place, and fully unleash his Celestia aura in addition to the stigma.

Because it was unlikely that he could stay unnoticed for nine more months, Jason estimated that he would enter the Prismar stage at the age of 20 or 21.

Right now he was still 18 and was only two months away from turning 19 even if he felt much older after the numerous events and incidents he had already witnessed and overcome.

The short trip down the memory lane made him smile lightly, thinking that he was quite fast to cultivate, despite his late start and the mana scarce planet he had been raised on.

On average, even members of grand races were 35 years old before they solidified their first prismarine crystal.

This may include the untalented, but also exceptional prodigies who were able to attain the feat of solidifying their first prismarine crystal at the age of 14.

To Jason, the age of 14 was the time he had been at the Mortal stage, fighting against weak beasts that had almost killed him, but that didn't matter.

What mattered was that the tides had changed, and even after a late start, he could take over everyone.

Nobody would care about his age once he defeated them, and it was only important for him to pay attention to those stronger as well as the being with connections or traits he couldn't evaluate yet.

Thinking about prodigies, and traits he had yet to learn the importance of, Jason's mind was subconsciously drawn to the young woman who had been at the peak of the three cultivation paths she had awoken.

This was what one could call the cream of the crop, and Jason wondered how old she was, and if it was possible to cultivate with three repulsive cultivation energies at the same time.

However, before he could continue with his train of thoughts, he was distracted by Artemis who lectured him about paying attention to the surroundings.

There were humans and Jason had told them to enter the soul world to be careful, only to stay in the open and do nothing but think about things that were useless for now?

Artemis found this callous attitude of his to be annoying and reprimanded him, until Jason apologised to her, several times, calming the little owl down.

Sometimes Artemis was extremely bossy, like a little child, only to turn serious, cold, merciless, and so on if required.

She could easily adjust her mindset which was interesting but also dangerous for those who dared annoy her!

Now he grew vigilant and used his Emperor Eyes in order to scan through the surrounding area while his mana fluctuations, Celestia aura, and stigma had been retracted.

Only the bare amount of mana fluctuations were released, supplying his Emperor Eyes with the necessary mana.

It didn't take him long before he saw a small group of humans, and it only took him a moment to figure out which banner they belonged to.

They were cultivating in the path of Spiral, and had a faint white hue that intertwined with their spiritual force.

This was probably caused by their cultivation technique, making Jason happy.

He was glad to encounter humans under the banner of the Angel race first.

It was not because Angels were deemed as good, and Devils as bad, but rather because his chances to enter a settlement of the Angel race should be much higher.

He could manifest Artemis' wings and had the aura that should even be superior to the Angels themselves.

His bloodline was that of the Celestia race after all!

As such, with a faint smile, Jason decided to observe the group of humans, for the time being, waiting for an opportunity to either approach them or figure out which direction they were headed to.

Knowing the direction from which they came from was already good, and allowed him to figure out the likely direction of the Angel settlement.

However, they could also be returning from a mission or something like that.

Owing to that, he had to know where they were heading as it might be the path he had to take!

Scanning their cultivation base was not exactly difficult, but it caused Jason to realise that his own cultivation stage was still too shallow.

Sighing deeply, he peeked from behind one of the stones, trying to see the humans, and realised that they were not much older than him.

Even if cultivating prolonged one's lifespan, Jason was good at guessing other beings' age.

He did not know if it was something his Emperor Eyes caused, or if they were able to see something his mind processed, giving him information he didn't even realise.

Nevertheless, he had figured that the humans in front of him were probably youngsters at the age of 30, or younger.

In the end, they still belonged to the younger generation which was below the age of 50 according to the Olympus federation's standards, with one older human he presumed to be a teacher or something similar, but Jason couldn't be sure whether the same standard applied to beings on Manyr too, or not.

The young ones had solidified two or more prismarine crystals while the older human was at the peak of the Prismar stage.

Despite not knowing what exactly they were doing, Jason figured that it was unlikely to be an escort mission, and more probably a training for the younger youths.

The group of humans was walking around without being too vigilant and it was almost as if they didn't care about possible attacks of beings at the Ascendion stage.

However, that was not important as the more interesting factor was that the double cultivation vein awakened fox seemed to be the group's final goal.

This was something Jason figured out as he saw the fox that was at the first threshold of the Prismar stage, facing them head-on, ignoring the existence of the peak Prismar powerhouse completely.

Jason found this to be a stupid move but none of them seemed to mind that the fox attacked the human group as if it was at an advantage.

'Did they form an agreement before attacking? Just why is the fox so sure that the human powerhouse won't attack?'
