Jason didn't even know what was going on after he had fully absorbed the divine aura.
Instead of returning to the other big clans, he planned to do something different.
Now that his strength had increased substantially, Jason wanted to test different things with his abilities and how high his combat prowess was by leaving no stone unturned.
Yet, instead of directly searching for anyone to fight against, there was something else he had to solve first.
He returned to Anna, who was still with Mike and his sister.
Upon meeting them, he learned about manufacturing guns, bullets, and the different kinds of materials required for certain characteristics of a weapon.
Other than that, he practiced forging, which allowed him to notice that his capabilities had increased significantly.
The same applied to concocting potions..
Jason was able to control Solaris' flame perfectly without a single fluctuation in its temperature, while the number of flames he could control at once had increased to several dozen.
This was not only because of his and Solaris' increased capabilities but also owing to the stigma and their firm fortified soul conjunction.
There was only one auxiliary occupation he had slight problems with as his knowledge was too shallow!
One had to be very careful while inscribing runes because even a single wrong stroke would create a wrong rune turning all the previous efforts into a waste of time. As such, he had to imprint every rune in his mind first.
Fortunately, this was not really problematic after having to refine his mind not once but several times, undergoing two baptisms, the primal Celestia bloodline awakening, and annexing and absorbing divine aura!
Only one month had passed before Jason had devoured every piece of information. Mike was shocked about how fast he could digest information and understand it.
It was nothing more than child's play to him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn Jason's view, this was not really an issue, and Mike seemed to have forgotten that he was not a full human.
However, contrary to Jason's expectations, Mike simply didn't care about anyone's background.
Jason had helped him, or to be more precise the entire human race.
As such, he was honor bound to return the favor.
Other than that, Mike liked Jason a lot while the same applied to Anna.
The little girl was a prodigy among prodigies because despite being just two years old she had just learned how to sense mana.
As if that wasn't enough, her mana absorption rate was shockingly high which caused not only Mike and his sister to be flabbergasted, but also Jason.
It was evident that she used a unique cultivation technique, and Jason wanted to ask her about it.
However, instead of doing so directly, he was using the time they were together to teach her a lot about the soul awakening and all kinds of things she had to pay attention to.
"I've already explained to you the basics of soul awakenings, the two types of possible soul worlds you can awaken, and everything you should know in the beginning. As such, I can tell you a little bit about my case because it has to do with beasts at the Prismar stage, and what you will have to pay attention to once you want to bind a beast at the Prismar stage.
It's evident that a solidified prismarine crystal is the starting line of the Prismar stage, and it's also the restriction for normal soul energy to bind those beasts! To put it simply, you need to advance your soul energy. Humans have experimented over a duration of three centuries on finding ways of creating advanced soul energy.
This was not easy, and in the end, by compressing 10 million units of soul energy, you receive one soul crystal!
With that soul crystal, you can bind a beast that has just entered the Prismar stage. However, the downside is that you can't use the 10 million compressed units of soul energy anymore.
Increasing your soul energy will become more difficult again. That is also the reason why most humans increase their soul energy to more than 50 million units before compressing their first soul crystal.
Why 50 million soul energy units? Because that is considered a threshold at which the soul energy increment slows down drastically!
Other than that it is important for you to pay attention to[...]"
Jason's lecture was extremely long, and Anna realized that the human race was not as simple as she had assumed.
At the same time, Jason bombarded her with questions of specific things he had to pay attention to when entering a different planet with more mana.
According to her, the biggest issue would be the difference in density, purity, and the amount of mana and other energies, in addition to the gravitational force.
The latter was only a problem for Cultivators that had yet to reach the Ascension stage, but Anna was fully aware of Jason's future plan.
He had shared them with her after all.
Suddenly, seemingly out of nowhere, Anna asked Jason something he had never expected to hear.
"By the way, can you adopt me?"
Jason squinted his eyes, wondering why Anna was asking him, and not Mike or his sister.
However, before he could even answer, or ponder about her words, Anna, with her young and childish voice, had already started to explain what exactly she wanted.
"I heard that the big clans have rebuilt almost everything that had been destroyed through the Great Argos war.
The orphanages are said to open soon, and both Mike and his sister are trying to find a way to adopt me without creating trouble.
I can't conceal my mana yet, and it will be weird if a two-year-old child can suddenly absorb mana, right?
Because of that, I need you to adopt me, as nobody will ask any questions!
Right now, you're seen as the most talented being on Argos. Furthermore, your image has changed once again, for the better of course.
The big clans have even retracted their kill missions….well at least it looks like that on the outside.
As such, I need your name to gain bonus points and avoid attracting unnecessary attention!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmApart from the adoption matter, it seems that an invitation to all human prodigies from the federation of immigrated races was sent out.
Apparently, they've become interested in the human race after the small show you created.
This is not correlated to adoption, but you could offer the big clans to represent the human race. I guess the federation wants to figure out the human race's strength in lieu of the phenomena that was created by you!"
Jason hadn't really paid much attention to Canir and the Archipelago since he had to take care of his own matters during the last few months.
He only knew that Mike had already handed out the last pages of the foreign races manuals Jason had translated.
In the end, this was earlier than expected, but Mike's gut feeling to hand out the entire translated technique had been perfect.
They were released right before the invitation of the Immigrated races' federations invitation.
The federation was called Olynadra Mpa Usdran federation, the name of which was an acronym created by using certain letters of the federation's races.
However, instead of using the rather difficult pronounced name, everyone called it the Olympus federation.
Though he had expected to attract some attention to Canir by absorbing the divine energy, Jason hadn't really given it much thought.
To think that he had caused a chain reaction to such a great extent!! He could only shake his head when he reflected back on it
As for adopting Anna, Jason didn't even know what to think of her proposal. Was he supposed to do something, or would she be fine with just his name?
Nevertheless, the little girl's words made sense and Jason had known from the beginning that he would have to be responsible for her since the day he had saved the little baby's life.
Because of that, he could only nod his head as he answered,
"I can adopt you, but I have no idea what I'm supposed to do. Talking to the government will probably be the easiest...let's hope they won't try to kill me.."
Jason knew that his reputation had considerably improved since the accident with the world bridge that had revealed all kinds of chimeras during the beast breakout.
As such, it wouldn't be much of an issue to walk into any governmental building to enquire about the process to adopt Anna.
At the same time, he had to figure out more about the invitation of the Olympus federation.
There were certain things Jason found suspicious about the invitation, but at the same time, it was a great opportunity to finish what he had promised to his masters!
