God's Eyes (Web Novel)

Diving down the tree, Jason opened his white wings slowly in order to change his trajectory slightly without decelerating too much.

Flying through the gigantic forest, with his mana eyes fully utilized, he couldn't help but think that everything within the Mythic Garden seemed to be expensive.

Every tree he had perceived released dense mana fluctuations while some of them started to release a faint color, telling Jason that they were valuable.

While this color indicated a living being's potential, it seemed to show the quality of inanimate things!

At least that was what Jason comprehended from looking at the difference between all kinds of inanimate objects, materials, and trees.

This assumption had turned more logical after he started to concoct and forge because everything perfectly purified released a faint color if the raw material didn't release a color.

Jason couldn't think of a different answer and even if it was wrong, his current comprehension was enough to understand that objects with denser, or stronger colors were, in most cases, more valuable.

However, that was not important for now because there were other things he had to do instead of cutting trees or something similar to that.

There were still two spatial rings and one storage device in his pockets with content inside which he wanted to transfer to his own spatial ring.

Other than that, Jason pondered whether he should search for the reclusive place with cursed beasts, right off the bat, or if it was better to wait until the black origin flame finished constructing its mana core.

He was not even sure if the black origin flame would evolve into a Tier-1 origin flame immediately after the mana core was established because it was always demanding to devour other origin flames.

This could mean that the black origin flame would have to devour another origin flame before it was able to evolve.

If that were to be the case, his whole plan would be trampled upon!

Jason could only hope that the black origin flame was a little bit more considerate towards him.

He didn't even know where he should start to search if he needed an origin flame to nurture the black origin flame.

Fortunately, the chances that the first evolution required another origin flame to be initiated were extremely small and Jason betted that it was not required.

As such, he decided to wait until the black origin flame finished constructing its mana core, before it would hopefully evolve, which would allow Jason to receive his second baptism.

After his second baptism, Jason would become much stronger than before and the reclusive area with cursed beasts wouldn't be as dangerous as it currently was to him.

With that in mind, he wanted to find a good and secure place in which he could stay for the next few weeks.

If his assumption was right, it would take around two weeks before the black origin flame's mana core would be completed.

At the same time, Jason's mana core would enter the 5th Expert rank too.

This was something he wanted to reach before his mana core size would be enlarged through the baptism he'll receive once the black origin flame evolved.

Several hours passed and Jason's mood plummeted because he couldn't find a single area without strong cursed beings around.

He encountered a few blessed beasts and their strength had been more terrifying than he had expected.

Somehow, to Jason, a blessing was similar to the superiority of dragons and equal mythic beasts. The blessing they received allowed them to become much stronger than most other beasts with the same mana core rank.

The stronger the blessing they received was, the more powerful they would become and it was not exaggerated to say that some blessed beings might be stronger than an earth dragon at the same rank!

Now that he searched for a secured place for several hours, Jason couldn't help but think of a different solution.

He was at the outskirts of the gigantic forest right next to a large mountain range when a sudden idea formed in his head.

'If I can't find a good hiding spot, I'll make my own!'

With that in mind, he dived down before landing in front of a large tree where he summoned Scorpio.

After that, Jason took a reinforced shovel out of his spatial ring before he started to dig a small hole behind a green bush that released a fragrant smell.

The bush was right next to the tree and hid the hole he was digging right now.

Scorpio helped him digging and it didn't take long before a small hole was made.

After that, he started to dig until he reached a position extremely close to the gigantic tree's center where he could absorb its radiating mana, which was exactly what he wanted.

However, he was still not done because he told Scorpio to dig another entrance which he could use as a means to escape if a beast or someone else were to find his self-made hiding spot.

The tree he picked out was perfect because it had many small and larger bushes close to it which made it possible for Jason and Scorpio to create a small burrow with two entrances.

Both were well hidden and Jason was confident that larger beasts were unable to enter it while smaller beasts were in most cases weaker.

There were many exceptions but it was not his intention to prevent everything from entering the place either way.

Jason's plan was to absorb mana for the next few weeks and depart afterwards.

There was no need to live in the small burrow he dug with Scorpio.

After everything was done, Scorpio entered Jason's soul world once again and Artemis left his mana core too.

Now that he was done with everything, the first thing that had to be done was to check out the two spatial rings and the storage device that were still in his pockets.

Everyone with a spatial ring should have a certain amount of wealth in it, otherwise, Jason wouldn't know why they even owned a spatial ring which caused him to pick up the storage device as his first target to check through.

As expected, the registered mana fluctuations inside the storage device diminished and Jason was able to access it with his own mana fluctuations.

Upon taking a closer look inside the storage device, he couldn't help but feel that his masters were extremely generous to him.

'Was this person's family poor?' Jason asked inwardly, confused why there was nothing really valuable except a mana-grade-2 weapon, lots of mana stones, and miscellaneous items.

The number of mana stones was decent but it was not really something praiseworthy for Jason who began to notice that he had become greedy after his masters' increased their support in nurturing him.

However, Jason was sure that he could accumulate the resources within the storage device within a single month even without his masters' help! He would have to rely on his lifestyle occupation skills, but that was exactly was supposed to do!

Transferring everything into his spatial ring, he threw the empty storage device in the corner of the burrow before he looked at the two spatial rings, hoping that the loot was better.

Instead of wasting more time, Jason accessed both at the same time and transferred the mana stones and everything else that was uninteresting to him inside his spatial ring.

Other than a few miscellaneous items, cultivation resources, and weapons that were cleared out of the spatial rings, there was only one book left in one of the spatial rings which attracted Jason's interest.

It was not common to see physical books in this era and Jason took it out of the spatial ring before he laid the two empty spatial rings aside.

"A handwritten book about the Mythic Garden?" Jason exclaimed, confused and happy at the same time as he opened it without any hesitation.
