God's Eyes

The influx of information about the crystals of unawakened Origin flames, followed by other types of unique flames made Jason's head spin as he had lots of information to digest.

Other than that, the fact that three of the Yinar race's pillars had been killed, followed by many powerhouses was certainly not something he had expected.

Thus, after receiving the items on the list he wrote for Sacharius, both Jason and Jennifer were in a dilemma.

Both had wanted to leave as quickly as possible because the Ninad beast realm was too dangerous.

Yet, leaving the Ninad beast realm meant that they were unlikely to return every again.

However, this was something perfectly normal for them as their goals never had to do with the Ninad beast realm.

Rather entering it had been a on-the-spot decision and something they had never truly expected.

If he were to think about it, the news about the death of the Soul Monarch and his 12 Guards had been proven to be correct by Sacharius and a few other powerhouses that had survived the explosion.

Yet their proof was only the fact that the Soul Monarch and the Guards fought against the Yinar race's powerhouses and pillars in the center of the city.

While fighting right above the location at which the explosion occurred, they had all been reduced to pieces of flesh and blood, but Jason felt oddly uncomfortable as if everything was a lie.

This was weird and something he hadn't sensed often in his entire lifetime.

As such, Jason couldn't help but speak seriously with Jennifer in order to get her approval on his decision to leave the Ninad beast realm.

Yet, instead of readily agreeing to it, she remained neutral.

"If you want to leave, we can leave immediately. But if you want to stay, we might as well stay! To be honest, considering the dangers of the Ninad beast realm as an excuse to return to Manyr, or some other planet, is not exactly a great excuse, to begin with!

After all, I cannot remember a time, when we hadn't been in danger…

Thus, I believe we should just follow our gut feeling and pursue the goals we had in mind from the beginning!

Nodding his head, Jason leaned backward, his head bumping into the headboard of the bed.

They had returned to their room in order to speak without anyone interfering in their discussion.

Yet, in the end, one couldn't even say that they had been discussing anything.

There weren't many things to talk about, to begin with. At least not about the topic of their next destination and the plan they wanted to pursue.

Sighing deeply, Jason thought about it for a moment before he mumbled.

"Should we start searching for my grandparents then?"

Somehow, Jason felt indecisive right now and was way too confused about the next steps.

He felt that everything was just too complicated to be solved at once, and it was almost as if he was running away from the problem.

Yet, even after giving it a thought or two, he didn't have any problems in the Ninad beast realm.

Rather, the Yinar race had faced problems before the Soul Monarch was said to have died.

As such, Jason got up from the bed as he added,

"Do you want to go to Tagran next? I don't really know much about Tagran, but I know who to search for…"

Looking directly into Jennifer's eyes, he tried to figure out whether she was against the idea he had in mind or if she was okay to proceed further with it.

Yet, astonishingly enough, she just nodded her head, returning his gaze as she smiled lightly.

"Just follow your heart!" 

Somehow, Jennifer felt like his guide right now.

This made Jason smile lightly as he shook his head, not believing just how indecisive he had become.

Did he feel melancholic about leaving the Yinar race and the few Agran, just because they were a part of his race, and an extremely similar race?

Jason didn't really know the reason, but the more he thought about it, the more logical it was for him to leave.

The time he had spent with Yinar and Agran was short, but Jason felt that it had been a great chapter of his life in which he had gained a lot.

As such, he finally chose to leave the Ninad beast realm, to enter Tagran, and to search for the Chaos Emperor!

With that in mind, he grew determined to follow the plan one step at a time.

He had many tasks at hand, of which the most important was to make sure of the fact that everyone would survive.

Followed by that, there were some minor things he had to solve, only with the slight downside that they took way too long to be solved.

However, that was not really problematic.

Thus, after taking a deep breath, he cleared his throat before speaking his mind.

"In that case, let's leave Niarn tomorrow!" 

Nodding her head, Jennifer couldn't help but sigh in relief upon seeing that Jason had overcome his confusion and regained his determination.

She was not sure what had been on his mind, but  in the end, Jennifer was sure that many minor facts and his emotions that made him feel connected to the entire realm had been confusing him.

As such, it was a big step for him to decide that they would leave.

Other than that, she could understand that Jason wanted to rest a little bit more as he had just woken up from his long, and well-needed sleep.

Yet, seeing the expression in Jason's eyes, Jennifer couldn't help but gulp nervously.

"I guess, you… don't want to rest until tomorrow, right?" 

Blurting out her thoughts, Jennifer quickly covered her mouth, only to see that Jason was smiling brightly as he slowly approached her.

"We can rest while flying back to the Shadow walker's portal."

His voice was low, but Jennifer was able to hear everything, only for her to raise her head a little the moment Jason had emerged in front of her, their faces less than ten centimeters away from each other.

"Or do you want to rest?" He added silently, whispering in her eyes while moving his arms around her waist delicately.

Her milky white cheeks turned beet-red and seemed to be on fire as she managed to shake her head, which Jason barely noticed.

"I…don't need to rest!" 

**

When the first rays of the bright shining sun shimmered through the window the next morning, both Jason and Jennifer woke up with bright expressions on their face.

Their entire tension had been released the night before, and it was now time to finish their last preparations before leaving.

With a slight surplus of all materials they required for their True Soul awakening, Jennifer was not lacking a lot of items to fully undergo her awakening.

Meanwhile, Jason was pretty sure that he still required nearly a dozen different items.

However, this was not something that bothered him right now.

He felt quite powerful at the moment.

With Jennifer and his soulbonds by his side, he felt even more confident as each of them had their own hidden strength.

As such, once their preparations had been done, the couple left Niarn without informing anyone about their departure.

There was no need for them to do so, and leaving quietly would cause less of a commotion.

A few things irked Jason about leaving the Ninad beast realm, such as the fact that he knew his soul world could bind specific wandering souls, even if it were not all and yet he was leaving without binding one.

On the brighter side, this meant that his soul world was different than that of other Agran, but Jason already knew this.

Nevertheless, the mystery about the Soa crystals was still something quite intriguing.

However, Jason believed that his True Soul awakening would solve most questions he had in mind.

This was just what his gut feeling told him, and he tried to reassure himself that there was no point in stalling further and leaving the Ninad beast realm was the best option.

After all, if it was truly necessary, he might as well return to the Ninad beast realm!

With that in mind, the two of them traveled through the Ninad beast realm for a total of six weeks, returning to the place and portal through which they had emerged.

The leveled settlement of the Shadow walkers was clearly visible to their eyes, followed by a few Agran that had bene ordered to clean the settlement in order to start restoration of its once glorious state.

Yet, the moment the Agran sighted Jason, his Celestia aura, and the immense pressence that radiated from him and his brightly glowing stigma, they assumed that they would die at any moment.

However, instead of bothering to throw even a single glance at them, Jason and Jennifer ignored them as they shot through the portal, leaving the Ninad beast realm behind without any hesitation.

Meanwhile, the tale of the Soul Monarch had yet to truly begin!
