God's Eyes

It was truly fascinating to be able to talk with an existence that was revered as a God.

The Mana Beast God's lifespan was far higher than a mere few hundred thousand years.

At first, Jason was quite uncomfortable speaking his mind nonchalantly.

However, it didn't take him long before even the slightest trace of discomfort dispersed, allowing him to converse comfortably with the Mana Beast God.

Jason lost track of time as he was engaged in a deep and interesting conversation with the Mana Beast God, and he had never expected to get to know so much information in such a short amount of time as well.

There were many things he had learned through her and most of them were quite beneficial.

It also included the fact that the Eye of Chaos was not too far away.

That was, at least, according to the standards of the Mana Beast God, and her opinion of what counted as 'not too far away'.

For an ordinary Demi-God, this distance of 'not too far away' would roughly be a year's worth of travel time.

But that was certainly fine for Jason as it was a shorter distance than he had expected.

Digesting the information he received from the Beast God, he waved at her and bid her farewell as she returned to her habitat, where she would also think about the intel Jason had provided to her.

There were many intriguing things about both of them with the most important being Jason's background.

His mother seemed to have been just an ordinary woman of her race, but extraordinary for the Celestia race owing to her eyes.

But that was only what Jason had found out until now.

According to the Mana Beast God, this shouldn't have been enough to turn her into an existence that was eligible to meet, or even go anywhere near Celestia Yaldra.

This was a mystery that the Mama Beast God wanted to figure out.

Unfortunately, the only other information that was also truly interesting was the fact that a fraction of the Chaos Emperor's soul was sealed within him.

She knew the Chaos Emperor, and his hatred for the Celestia race.

This had multiple reasons, but it was mostly because the Celestia race had decided that a God of Chaos could not be allowed to live.

Chaos was something the Celestia race loathed as much as impurities in their bloodline and surroundings.

As such, the Mana Beast God knew that the Chaos Emperor couldn't have willingly helped Celestia Yaldra.

Yaldra might not be on bad terms with the Chaos Emperor, but they were certainly not best friends nor did they have a strong bond that would momentarily weaken the Chaos Emperor to the extent that he would seal Jason's bloodline, let alone seal a tiny portion of his soul within the unborn Jason!

After connecting the dots, it was clear that either Jason's mother or grandparents had some sort of connection with the Chaos Emperor, which indicated that they were not even close to the normal or ordinary existences Jason thought them to be.

'Maybe they immigrated on Argos after fleeing from their own race?' The Mana Beast God thought, only to land on the flying island that was her home as she shook her ginormous head in denial.

'But then again…he said that his soul awakening was the same as that of the humans on Argos and that it was just a stronger version, which was enhanced due to the Celestia bloodline…'

The more she thought about it, the more her interest in Jason's background increased.

However, even then, she couldn't search for the Chaos Emperor because she knew that he was in a deep hibernation right now.

Waking him up was likely to hinder in the process of him completing the final steps of his advancement to godhood. This in turn would prevent him from building his Godly foundation with the use of the Shell of Immortality!

Because of that, the Mana Beast God changed her opinion, leaving Jason's past and background alone as she continued to observe him intently.

He had been willing to allow her to imprint a tiny trace of her mana into the deep parts of his conscience without even a second thought.

However, the Mana Beast God understood that this was a sign of trust from Jason.

This made it seem as if Jason blindly trusted the Mana Beast God which felt good to an extent.

If she were to know that Jason simply accepted her mana imprint because he felt that she was genuinely interested in his existence, which he was certain due to the hues his Divine eyes could see, she would probably feel a little bit betrayed.

But even then, that was not everything as Jason could clearly tell that the imprint of the Mana Beast God would further enhance his perception of mana, which was something he didn't think would be possible.

Thus, he was more than willing to accept her imprint.

In fact, it made him feel as if the imprint was something comparable to a blessing, which was quite interesting.

Unfortunately, he couldn't focus on the effects of the Mana Beast God's imprint as he was approached by Jennifer, and the entire Dwarf unit once the Beast God left their side.

Jason was simply smiling brightly as Jennifer slapped his shoulder in mock anger a few times.

Meanwhile, the Dwarves only stared at Jason, not saying a single word.

Their silence spoke more than a thousand words, and he just nodded his head in return.

Afterward, he took a look in the direction of the Devil Calivra Centipede, only to notice that the Demi God had disappeared.

But this was expected as Jason had witnessed the devastating strength between an existence that was labeled Demi God, and that of a True God!

It was shocking, to put it simply, and he told himself that, at least, one cultivation base had to be between the Driekta stage and the stage where one was considered a God!

Having seen a mighty existence right in front of him, Jason had a new goal in mind.

He wanted to understand how it would feel to be as powerful as the Mana Beast God.

However, in order to reach a similar combat prowess as a God, lots of time would have to pass, and he would have to cultivate for a very long time.

After all, even in the Celestia race, not everyone could be considered a True God according to the Mana Beast God.

And even then, the difference between Gods' strength was devastating as well.

According to the Mana Beast God, the most important factor in attaining Godhood was not the stage itself, but the preparations one did in order to attain Godhood!

As long as one worked thoroughly on building the Godly foundation, the rest would follow suit.

However, perfection was something out of reach of most beings, and even the unparalleled Gods of the five Primordial races were not able to attain perfection.

But even then, there was no need to hesitate and give up on the dream of becoming a True God with a perfect foundation even before starting to work on it.

Giving it a try didn't mean that one would attain it, but with enough willpower, energy, determination, and time, one could, at the least, reach near perfection.

With that in mind, Jason couldn't help but smile subtly before he returned his gaze to the Dwarf Leader.

He looked the most uncomfortable with the current situation, and he was fully aware that Jason had saved all of their lives.

Thus, he wanted to express his gratitude but before he could do so, Jason raised his hand as he said.

"Don't worry about it. I just did what I felt was correct."

However, only a moment later he turned serious as he said.

"But let me tell you again. I am not a Primordial….and if you insult my mother one more time, I will kill you on the spot!"
