A week passed before the golden shroud around Tagran finally disappeared.
The reminiscence of emotions was completed, and Jason was finally freed.
He slumped to the ground, utterly exhausted after having completed the strenuous task.
However, the Spatial Beast God just looked at him for a moment before ignoring his exhaustion as he transmitted him a message,
[Now that I helped you, I would like to call upon the favor I gained! Immediately!]
Jason was not even allowed to take a few breaths to regain some strength. He looked at the golden-furred deer feeling as if he should twist the Spatial Beast God's neck a little bit as a slow smile crept up his face.
From the beginning, Jason knew that he had to repay the favor, and something told him that the Spatial Beast God would ask him after a while.
Thus, he couldn't agree to the 'immediately' part which the Beast God spoke about.
"That's fine of course, but can I first reunite with my soulbonds and go to the Chaos Emperor? He needs my help to avoid attaining Godhood…"
Jason knew that it was important to repay favors, but he clearly recalled the Chaos Emperor's words about the fact that he required his help to prevent himself from advancing to Godhood.
Furthermore, Jason wouldn't leave before he reunited with his soulbonds. They knew where he was right now, and until they came to him, his home would be the same as the Spatial Beast God's.
Upon realizing what Jason had on his mind, the Spatial Beast God decided to do one final thing.
He had sensed something while his spatial portals had been opened through specific anchors.
The Spatial Beast God's portals had been faintly linked to Jason's aura, which had allowed him to sense what Jason had perceived.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64ce79d606107d003c23ea27", id: "pf-5140-1"})This made the following procedure much easier.
A total of nine portals opened the moment Jason finished his words, and he saw nine distinct golden stigmas that were overly powerful…and familiar!
Having sensed the energy fluctuations of the golden Celestia stigma on Tagran, the Spatial Beast God made it further easy for Jason to reunite with his soulbonds at once, in an unspectacular manner at that.
The stigmas on all of his soulbonds had instinctively been activated when they perceived Jason's reminiscence of emotions.
As such, they finished their preparations after they recollected their senses, only to step through the spatial portals a short time later.
Meanwhile, as they were waiting for the soulbonds, the Spatial Beast God intervened.
[That should be enough to reunite with them, isn't it? I know about the Chaos energy, and what the Chaos Emperor is currently trying to do, but you are required somewhere else first. There is a place Primordials don't visit anymore, but the number of vile existences is rising far too quickly there!]
Jason was a little bit stupefied about the plain reunion he was bound to have with his soulbonds.
But that was not exactly important as everything that counted was the fact that he could reunite with his soulbonds.
Furthermore, the Spatial Beast God seemed to be in a hurry all of a sudden.
If Jason were to know that the Beast God hadn't really slept when he and the Mana Beast God had encountered the deer, but that the God's soul and energy had observed the entire universe, he wouldn't think that it was sudden.
"The Abandoned Universe?"
He suddenly asked, thinking that this was the only place Primordials didn't really go to.
However, he was proven wrong as the Spatial Beast God corrected him.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})[No, just…a rather isolated large stellar system. In between the overlapped space of the Universes! Even the Primordials have issues reaching that place.
Furthermore, those that reached it were not really accepted by the ruler of the place I want to send you…]
When Jason heard 'not really accepted' he could only smile faintly.
For Primordials not to be accepted somewhere followed by them not going to a particular place anymore, something must have happened to the few that were able to go to the place the Spatial Beast God wanted to send him.
"Not accepted…as in beaten into a pulp and pushed away?"
The silence that followed suit was enough to give Jason an answer. He couldn't help but smile, only to add,
"Why would this ruler accept me, if he whisked away some Primordials and didn't allow them to stay?"
Firstly, if even Gods of the Primordial races were weaker than the individual the Spatial Beast God spoke about, what the hell was he supposed to do?
And secondly, why would the ruler accept him, considering that he was a descendant of one Primordial race, and something that could be labeled as an inferior version of a Primordial race?
[Because you are different!]
The answer was vague and not really helpful for Jason.
He knew that there were quite a few things that were special about him, but that didn't immediately mean that he was different enough to be accepted by the ruler.
As such Jason looked at the deer for some time before he decided to change the topic.
"What do you expect me to do in the overlapped area of the universes? I doubt that you expect me to fight the ruler, which would be quite weird.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})But I'm not exactly strong enough to be of much use as well. After all, my combat prowess is barely comparable to a newly advanced Royal Primordial."
If others were to hear Jason's words they would feel like twisting his neck because he downtalked his own combat prowess as if it was not even worth mentioning.
It was comparable to mocking everyone weaker than him, and telling them that he was not strong.
In a way, this would indicate that the others were trash if he was a weakling after all!
However, this was not what Jason wanted to do as he merely pointed out that his strength was probably not high enough to be on par with this ruler the Spatial Beast God talked about.
At least, if everything that had been said before was still valid.
[If you can gain the ruler's trust, it would be best. Working together against the Veils would be the perfect outcome for the entire universe. Just get into his good books, and it will be much easier for everything that is bound to happen in the future.
Your divine energy will be the crux of it all as the overlapping universes have issues regaining the energy of the universe which they have been deprived of!]
Jason just nodded his head. He felt as if everything had already been prepared for him, and as if there was simply nothing left for him to actively do.
That was, at least, concerning the preparatory work for their plan on what he was supposed to do.
"You make it sound as if that is easy. Am I supposed to enter their headquarters and say 'Hey you guys might not have heard of me, but I have divine energy, and I can take back the energy vile existences from behind the veil deprived you of. I want to help you guys but will never demand anything but your trust'... That doesn't sound very trustworthy, does it?"
Right now, Jason was quite comfortable with the Spatial Beast God and had dropped all the formalities.
This could easily be seen in the way he acted. However, he accepted that he had to find out his own way to gain the ruler's trust. It was his mission and something Jason thought to be very important as well.
After all, if there were beings stronger than Royal Primordials, it would be great to work together with them, instead of against them.
Maybe, it was possible for them to actively fight against the beings behind the Veil, instead of passively defending against them.
Because, right now, the entire Universe was just trying to minimize the number of losses, and was patiently waiting for the existing Primordial Gods to act.
But neither was it known if they were still alive, or how many existed in the first place. The highest number of existing Primordial Gods was 5 within their merged universe, but it was also possible for not a single one to be alive, right now!
However, Jason couldn't help but add something he was concerned about.
"And you are sure that its fine to leave the Chaos Emperor alone for a few decades, or centuries, if necessary? Won't there be quite a few problems about the Veil then?"
[He will be fine. I will inform the other Beast Gods, and we will give our utmost to strengthen the area around him, to store away the chaos that radiates from him.
Killing him won't work after all…]
When Jason heard this, he lifted his right eyebrow, only to look at the golden deer in astonishment for a few seconds.
'Killing him won't work?'
Yet, even before Jason could say something, his thoughts were interrupted once again.
[Your dear family seems to be on the way. About the favor, consider yourself as the Ambassador of the Universe, and give your best for all of us, please!]
