God's Eyes

After binding the mana and primordial energy creating plants, he planted them into his soul world, drastically increasing the amount of generated energy in his soul world.

It was still incomparable to his surroundings, but better than nothing.

Furthermore, the more nutrition he gave the plants, the more energy he would receive in return.

This was interesting as they were currently working on the lowest possible level, barely consuming any nutrition from the soil around them.

'Will they wither once the nutrition inside the soil has been fully consumed, or will the plants start to drain nutrition out of my soul world, or rather, myself?'

Finding an answer to this question was important to figure out because he would have to pay more attention to his soul world than before if his assumption was correct.

In the end, this meant that he would either need something that actively replenished the nutrition, replace the soil, or get his hands on something that passively refilled the nutrition in the soil in exchange for absorbing mana, or another cultivation energy, just like a treant of nature spirit.

The latter would probably be the best as long as the mana consumption was lower so as to refill the nutrition in the soil than the mana generated by the plants.

This was important if he didn't want to suffer a loss.

But that was something Jason couldn't pay attention to right now because he had yet to figure out the answer to his previous question.

Only then could he start thinking of what he should do, rather than possibly wasting his time.

Now, Jason wanted to finally start looking for Jen, or to be more precise, the cadets.

He was eager to fight using his full strength if possible in order to loosen his muscles, the tension in his body, and to empty his mind of all the thoughts that swirled within.

Taking out the messenger card he called Jennifer, and it didn't take long before she answered the call.

"Hello Jason, did you finally decide to search for the cadets?"

Somehow, Jason felt that Jen sounded extremely happy to receive his call, which was something he couldn't really understand.

'Did something good happen to her?'

He was confused for a few seconds and didn't catch half the words she said, only to regain his senses when he heard her yell his name followed by a quiet mumbling.

"Did he call me by mistake? And here I thought he wanted to spar with the cadets to show his combat prowess…"

After having encountered Jason the first time, Jen had been curious about him because he was different from any being she had seen before.

Now that she knew that he was a halfling, just like her, only to be possibly from a race that was high in the rankings, Jen felt more excited to speak to him than before.

For two whole weeks that he had been in the abode, he hadn't shown signs of being interested in fighting, let alone searching where the cadets or Jen was.

As such, she couldn't help but feel happy that he had called, only to wonder if he called her by accident.

Fortunately, her worry was quickly dispersed as Jason answered her.

"I didn't call accidentally. I wanted to know where you and the cadets are. It cannot be the City lord's abode because I searched everything already."

Jason had yet to understand why Jen was so excited to encounter another halfling, one who was as interesting as he was, with all kinds of mysterious secrets around him that she wanted to unveil slowly.

Knowing everything about specific people would make them boring, but also interesting because they had opened their hearts to others, revealing their deepest secrets.

However, to Jen, who had many secrets herself, with the biggest being that she was hiding her true identity from almost everyone, Jason was more interesting than anyone else. Not only was he able to figure out her identity right off the bat, but also almost every secret of hers within the blink of an eye.

This had shocked her more than Jennifer wanted to acknowledge, but instead of being reluctant to speak to Jason, her curiosity was piqued further.

Talking to a fellow halfling was a breath of fresh air, and the fact that Jason was not much younger than her made it easier for her to talk to him than those that were hundreds of years older.

The comfort radiating from Jason was not only owing to his young age, but also his kind expression in addition to the Celestia aura that gave the last push. To top it all, he was one of the first male she was able to speak to at the same level owing to her master's unique attitude towards men.

As such, it was only obvious for her to be curious about speaking with Jason as he wasn't shunned by her master like the other male cadets she had rescued so far.

Meanwhile, Jason was oblivious to Jen's train of thoughts and her opinion about him but it would be a lie if he were to say that he was not intrigued by Jen, owing to her uniqueness.

She was beautiful in appearance, no doubt, but that was only one of the traits that made her special in his eyes.

Despite having a devastating talent in the three cultivation veins she had awakened, Jen was down to earth, and quite easy to talk to.

It was almost as if she was just a normal girl, which made Jason more comfortable around her as he didn't have to be overly polite or pay attention to what he said.

Nevertheless, he knew that she was similar to him in certain characteristics as she could turn serious within a moment, changing her entire demeanor and surrounding atmosphere.

He awaited her answer on where she and the cadets were, which didn't take long as she simply told him to enter the manor and go to the basement.

"In the basement, you will find a large octagram inscribed in multiple layers of countless runes, with a simple looking gate in the center of it.

It's a portal, and you only have to choose your destination, which is the cadets training camp, and it will connect to the portal inside the barren lands, where I am.

In the beginning, it might look complex, but it isn't all that hard. Just experiment a little bit with it, but don't even think about touching the runes on the first layer.

The first layer conceals the portal, preventing others from figuring out what we are doing. Once the Devirs or Aeus find out what we have been doing, it will be a little bit difficult to retain the peace we have right now!"

Jason was confused to hear the last few sentences, but he just nodded his head saying that he would do as instructed before he ended the call.

Jen wanted to talk a little bit more, but when Jason hung up, she figured that it was also possible to speak to him when he would reach the training ground.

Not wanting to stay idle, Jason told his soulbonds to enter the soul world once again before he entered the Manor.

"So the multiple layers of runes I could see with my Emperor Eyes were for a long-distance portal? From the looks of it and the runes utilized, it's similar to a world bridge. The only difference is that it is used to teleport someone to a different place on the same planet!"

Muttering to himself, he entered the basement, only to wonder what exactly the City lord and Jennifer have been doing, to possibly enrage the Aeus and Devirs.

'Is building up an army enough to enrage the Aeus and Devir race….I don't think so…What else could it be? They're not planning to use the Manyrs that awakened two cultivation veins to fight against the Aeus and Devirs, right? Wouldn't that be a little bit foolish, considering that attacking one race would probably lead to waging war with both?

They would never accept each other's destruction in the face of a possibly more dangerous opponent!'
