God's Eyes

It had been centuries since Kiat had been forced to give his utmost efforts to fight against someone younger than him.

In fact, he was pretty sure that releasing some of the restrictions he had put on himself was what allowed him to overcome the situation at hand.

The Sacred Elvyr was unscathed, but his current cultivation base was restricted to the Mid Specta stage.

And in addition to that, Kiat was releasing tremendous amounts of lesser divine energy that had merged with his mana.

He had erected a huge shield of wind in order to protect himself from Jason's attacks.

In the end, Jason might have been too exhausted to continue fighting, but Kiat also understood that if the young halfling were to be forced, he would simply exceed his limitations.

What he had showcased was just the extent to which he could expose himself right now.

It was not everything he could do or possessed and there were several traits or affinities that he had not exposed.

As such, Kiat couldn't help but see Jason in a different light than before.

Initially, the young halfling had appeared to be rather helpless to him, as if he required a very long time and experience in order to grow up to be a fine man.

But what the Sacred Elvyr was currently seeing made him subconsciously nod his head.

Within a few minutes, Jason recuperated from his exhaustion as the God's Halo continued to absorb large amounts of the surrounding energy, invigorating him with the divine energy it had created.

When Jennifer saw this, she could only shake her head.

The entire fight had been a big mess, and she was not even sure what the hell was going on.

She had presumed that her own strength had skyrocketed after the decade of refinement.

But after seeing Jason and his fight against a powerhouse of the Sacred Elvyr race, Jennifer felt like isolating herself for a few centuries to focus on refining her entire being with the Kanadi of a Primordial technique to improve her strength even further.

Maybe then she would be on par with Jason's combat prowess.

'This is just a big joke,' she thought, sighing deeply, feeling like an extra and a bystander in an epic face-off between two mighty opponents.

In the end, Jennifer was aware of the fact that she was not really special.

She might be a halfling, but Jason was the real deal and the existence that was truly special.

After all, he was a descendant of the purest existing race in the Universe, and that of a lower existence, a common race called Agran.

Yet, he was still standing on his feet, getting up every single time he was pushed back or thrown to the ground, with an unbending will that overpowered everyone, who dared to obstruct his path towards the goals he had in mind.

Jennifer truly admired and loved this about Jason as he would leave no stone unturned to protect the people he loved, even if sacrificing his life was necessary.

But this was also what scared her as she didn't want him to sacrifice himself for others.

As such, the stronger Jason was, the stable her mind would be, knowing that he would continue fighting strong existences and throwing himself in danger every single time.

With that thought in mind, Jennifer ignored her earlier thought.

She decided that it was great for Jason to be powerful enough to force Kiat to tweak his restriction and thereby increase his cultivation base to that of the Mid Specta stage.

Adding his combat experience and proficiency to his affinities, the Sacred Elvyr was likely to be able defeat even Late- or some Peak ranked Specta stage Cultivators.

This was what shocked Jennifer the most as it looked like Jason was merely able to scratch Kiat after he had lifted some of the restrictions on his cultivation base.

Awestruck by this, she also understood that Jason could, once again, start fighting others.

He might not be in his peak condition, but his current state wouldn't prevent him from defeating some Cultivators at the peak Ascendion stage, or even Initial rank of the Specta stage.

Smiling brightly, Jason turned towards Kiat after focusing solely on Jennifer for several seconds.

It looked like he was thinking about something while he had been looking at Jennifer.

But in the end, he didn't say anything as he spoke to Kiat,

"I'm sorry for being rude earlier. It looks like controlling my emotions while being in a soul fusion with my soulbonds is becoming increasingly difficult…"

The Sacred Elvyr just nodded his head, while listening intently without saying a lot.

"Don't mind that too much. I have heard a little bit about Primal humans and their struggles. Do you need to rest for a bit longer, or can we set off soon?" 

Jason could sense that Kiat was suddenly unsure of how to behave in front of him.

This made the situation a little bit awkward as the Sacred Elvyr wanted to act formally, only to feel as if this was wrong too.

After all, Jason was just a newborn to Kiat, if one were to look at the difference in their age!

Because the situation had turned a little bit weird rather than relaxed after their fix, Jason even forgot what Kiat said about the Primal humans and their struggles.

"I don't need to rest any longer. The restoration project will bring me far more resting time than I want, either way!" 

Jason's words had hit the bullseye!

Because it was mostly Solaris, and his divine energy that would do the work for the cleansing process of the dark and impure energies, Jason could just focus on cultivating while walking around.

But that was not everything he planned to do as he had to focus on his surroundings too.

The planet was, in fact, considered as a warzone. As such, it was quite dangerous to walk around nonchalantly.

Kiat knew this very well, which caused him to smile wryly as he knew that the restoration project would take much longer than initially expected.

And that was while taking into consideration the fact that Jason could easily cleanse the surrounding in a fraction of the time he required earlier.

The dangers of Lyina were even higher than the Queen had expected.

Fortunately, most of the dangers were clustered in a specific continent that was quite far away from the world bridge, and this was the spot Jason would start cleansing from.

As such, nobody was truly worried about a Demi-God attacking them.

Only a few beasts that sought asylum were likely to reach the continent where the Sacred Elvyrs had started to build their base!

This was actually what Jason was hoping for, so he smiled lightly upon hearing most of the information.

"I plan to bind quite a few beasts to my soul world. So…with that in mind, if I were to hand out a list of beasts, and if they were found seeking asylum somewhere….is it possible that I might speak to them first?"

Jason's request sounded weird, but it was not as if Kiat had anything against it.

In fact, he didn't mind it, at all.

He couldn't even hide the fact that he was slightly curious about what beasts Jason wanted to bind to his soul, for which reason, and how he wanted to convince them that his soul world was better than the outside world, where they could live of their free will.

Of course, safety was a convincing reason, but Kiat was sure that Jason wouldn't use that as a reason as it was obvious that the young halfling's path was going to be a harsh and dangerous one to walk on.

"I will do what I can," Kiat thus said, not expecting Jason to take out a lengthy list of more than 200 names of beasts written on them to read through.

"We have already prepared a list. There you go…. Thank you very much! Shall we get going? We have a planet to purify, after all!"

Feeling good after having fought, Jason felt that the tension that had accumulated in his muscles and brain was fully released after a good fight, causing him to fall at ease as he waited for Kiat to leave with him.

He had completed all the tasks he had wanted to accomplish in Myriad, and all the treasures were stored in his spatial ring.

As such, he was ready to leave at once.

Yet, Kiat was confused about something that made him squint his eyes.

'..We?'
