God's Eyes (Web Novel)

Greeting everyone heartily with a gentle smile on his face, Jason showed how happy he was when they finished their cultivation.

With a simple glance, he was able to see every single change that seemed to have happened to everyone.

This included being able to inspect their cultivation base in a very precise manner.

In fact, to Jason, it almost felt like he was able to see much more compared to before.

It was almost as if the outlines of everyone's soul had been unveiled to him.

This confused him for quite some time, but once he held Jennifer in his arms, followed by his needy Soulbonds that wanted to be close to him, his mind was occupied with other things.

He wanted to find out how strong he was and how the surface had changed.

'I hope the compensation to be paid for the destruction of the isolation room won't be a lot!'

Yet, oddly enough when they returned to the surface, a guard approached them before bowing to them in an overly polite manner.

"Sir, Milady, congratulations on breaking into the Ascendion stage.

Your breakthrough brought forth a special phenomenon! The whole city wants to thank you for your grace to advance your cultivation in Liun!"

Jason didn't really know what was going on, but he couldn't help and simply stared at the Soldier in dumbfoundment.

He was not sure what the special phenomena could be, except that they were referring to his Celestia aura, or released Soul world that had deprived the entire surrounding of its energy.

Thus, it shouldn't be something to thank him for the manner in which he soldier acted.

"What exactly happened? And…I don't think I should be thanked…My advancement into the Ascendion stage seemed to have destroyed the Isolation room…"

Jason pointed out the issues at hand quite clearly, but even after unveiling the truth, the guard seemed to be unfazed, which was weird.

In fact, the guard had only halted in his tracks for a moment before nodding his head and adding,

"The City Lord said that this was possible because the energies that were released to allow us to comprehend our affinities, and connection to our wandering souls were powerful enough to reach the surface, after all!"

This answer didn't really help Jason to figure out what had happened.

As such, he waited to receive a proper answer.

However, nothing of that sort happened as the guard heard a slight commotion from behind him. This caused him to bow to Jason and Jennifer before leaving them behind.

"It looks like everyone is busy, but I don't really sense any tension or someone awaiting an attack!"

Jennifer remarked after assessing the body language of the people she was able to see all around her.

Jason could only nod, still unsure of what all must have happened in the two years that must have passed since they had entered and spent all their time in the isolation room.

He had only figured out that the guard they spoke to, and others knew about his breakthrough.

Right now, he had already retracted the majority of his energy, preventing it from leaking and unintentionally letting everyone know how powerful he had become.

Yet, this didn't prevent the guard from sensing Jason's enormous presence, his Stigma, his eyes, or the subtly silver glowing ring on his finger that attracted many gazes.

Jason knew that it would be quite difficult for him to hide his special traits or other things from now on.

As such, he decided to be a little bit more open.

This didn't mean that he would unveil his secrets to everyone, but he was not really scared or worried about the aftermath of revealing his secrets anymore.

Somehow, his secondary bloodline awakening had allowed him to overcome this fear that had been rooted in the depth of his conscience.

Thus, while walking through the streets that seemed to look exactly the same as before, Jason made no effort to hide his appearance, and only his combat prowess was concealed in front of others.

Holding Jennifer's hand, he walked confidently.

The touch calmed them down and reassured them that they had each other even if any mishap might occur.

Luckily, no such thing happened and they were able to return to the house in which they stayed for the whole time, without any issues.

Initially, they didn't know if it was still fine to stay there, but after what the guard had said, Jason felt the need to talk to Elder Ben.

Using his Emperor Eyes he was able to quickly find the Elder even without the use of a single trace of mana or divine energy.

This caused him to smile subtly as he approached the place at which Elder Ben resided.

It was a little further away from his home than expected, but not something that took Jason long to find.

If he were to use his full speed, Jason was sure to reach the place long ago.

While looking around, he saw that it looked like a combat arena with numerous tools that could be used in a versatile manner to train the youngsters who were roaming around.

Jason found the sight quite pleasant to look at with his Emperor Eyes because he could nearly visualize everyone.

Both of them were familiar with most of the students, the Elder seemed to be training right because they were the same from back at the Shadowwalkers camp in which they had fought against Lars one after another.

However, this time they were not here to spar but to inquire some doubts from the Elder.

Thus, once they entered the training hall that looked relatively simple from the aesthetical way, they quickly approached the Elder.

Elder Ben had noticed them the moment they had stepped in the large hall, and the moment he saw Jason, his body involuntarily reacted.

He turned his body towards him, while his mind was fully focused on Jason as if he was extremely dangerous, yet simultaneously not.

This confused the Elder a lot because he was clearly able to perceive that Jason had just broken into the Ascendion stage.

Thus, there shouldn't be anything to worry about for a Specta stage powerhouse.

Nevertheless, it was obvious that his entire being thought otherwise.

"I didn't expect you two to return so quickly. Hasn't it been only two years by now? After the phenomena you caused, the energy you two took away from the surrounding should have been enough to sustain your cultivation for nearly a decade!!"

Everyone had noticed the scarcity of the surrounding energy that didn't seem to regenerate in the past year.

As such, numerous citizens had complained about the lack of energy.

Yet, in exchange of having been deprived of energy to cultivate properly, they were rewarded with the special phenomena that enlightened everyone.

The phenomenon was so potent that it allowed even the least intelligent citizens to start comprehending rather difficult martial art techniques.

Thus, in the last year, everyone used comprehension to reach higher masteries with multiple different techniques.

Because of that, the anger everyone had felt dissipated, replaced with gratitude as most of them realized their mistakes, and just how valuable it was to be enlightened.

Nonetheless, Elder Ben couldn't help but look at Jason in a new light, even more so after he answered his question.

"We already used up every trace of the surrounding energies. There is no way that we wasted anything!"

This astonished the Elder, but before he could say anything, Jason continued.

"By the way, what exactly happened to Liun? Didn't the Soul Monarch or his Guards attack once again? Everyone seems relaxed, which is great, but I expected to encounter some complications upon returning to the surface!

That doesn't mean I'm unhappy about the current situation. Rather, it's just a little bit confusing!"

Jason didn't have problems talking calmly to the Elder, and he had rather grown quite proficient in talking to seniors, both in age and designation.

There were not many people that could remain calm in front of Elders or powerhouses that were respected by everyone.

Yet, Jason seemed to be completely different and could converse without any nervousness. It was quite a pleasant change for Ben, who smiled lightly, calling himself foolish for doubting Jason.

He had heard about the help Jason had provided by killing the untraceable chameleons inside Liun, while warning the guard to return to their home planet, and thereby preventing a massacre from occurring.

As such, it was only obvious that he was a good guy, which caused Elder Ben to sigh lightly as he answered his doubts.

"To be precise, nothing happened to Liun. The Soul Monarch never appeared, and neither did his guards attack even once. That is why everyone believes we pushed back the Guards for good by showing them how powerful we were two years ago.

However, the bitter truth is a little bit different because the Guard of the Soul Monarch had been too powerful two years ago.

We figured out that he retreated because he had fulfilled his mission, but if that was only limited to the infiltration of the untraceable chameleons or not, we don't know for certain.

Other than that, the only thing that might be called an incident is the fact that many more beasts have figured out the way of becoming wandering souls by now.

Thus, Liun is facing more issues from the wilderness than any kind of possible attack originating from the Soul Monarch!"

From the looks of it, Elder Ben seemed to be as confused as Jason.

This was not really helpful, but the provided information allowed Jason to figure out the current status better.

Talking a little bit more with the Elder, he even figured out what kind of phenomena he had caused. It was one of the things that had interested him the most.

Never in his life had he heard about a phenomenon that occurred right after a breakthrough.

It felt weird, but when the Elder told him that only individuals with tremendous talent, comparable to that of higher-ranked races as their own, or those individuals that underwent a bloodline awakening were able to cause such a phenomenon, Jason understood the situation.

'Whether its my talent as Agran, or my Celestia bloodline awakening, both seemed to have caused something!'

Apparently, even the wandering souls of the Yinar race and the soulbonds of the Agran that resided in Liun had received enlightenment. This had allowed them and the beasts that were bound to their soul to comprehend numerous things.

Thus, Jason began to believe that he had caused two different phenomena which caused him to smile lightly, only to recall something.

The guard might have said that it was no problem, but Jason didn't want to get into trouble for something as stupid as the isolation room.

With that in mind he cleared his throat before informing him,

"Ah, by the way, It looks like I destroyed the isolation room we were inside… My breakthrough into the Ascendion stage might have been a little bit too great, I guess?"
