The Stigmas one could clearly see through each of the spatial portals were approaching Jason at a rapid speed.
It didn't take long before various different heads pushed through the membrane of the portals, indicating the arrival of Jason's soulbonds from all over Tagran.
Several ear-piercing roars of joy reverberated through the entire ginormous forest as they saw him.
And it was merely a second later that Jason had to face the impact of nine beasts catapulting themselves towards him.
Artemis was the first to reach him, her fluffy plumage enshrouding Jason's entire body when her huge body of more than 30 meters threw him to the ground, just to land on top of him.
Even without the soul connection, he could clearly sense Artemis' joy as she issued several hoots one after another.
It was as if she couldn't stop issuing noises, and Jason began to doubt if she realized that he was not able to understand her.
Maybe she was still thinking that they were still bound by their souls, or Artemis was just too happy to see him again which made her forget everything.
Jason didn't know the answer, so he simply smiled, only to sense that the others were trying to force their way through Artemis' plumage.
They wanted to reach him as well, which caused his smile to get even brighter, just for him to say,
"Little Princess, how about you shrink in size?"
Still smiling, he looked at Artemis, just for her to shrink back to her usual size which she could always switch to.

They had already adjusted their size in order to squeeze through Artemis' plumage, which allowed all of them to reach out for Jason.
Within seconds, his entire body was fully covered by a total of nine soulbonds.
This made it quite difficult for him to stand up, but that was not something Jason wanted to do, right now, either way.
He was just overjoyed to have reunited with his soulbonds. It was much faster than he could have hoped for, and executed without major hiccups.
Smiling brightly, his Celestia aura vibrated in joy, while all the golden Celestia stigmas were fully unleashed.
Even without the soulbond connection, they still overlapped, influencing each other positively and enhancing the effect of the Celestia aura.
The Celestia aura expanded, without Jason even realizing it, and he simply caressed all his soulbonds for a long time.
Maybe a day had already passed when Jason decided that it was finally time for him to stand up.
The nine beasts didn't let go of him, but that was perfectly fine.
It made the following process much easier as he released nine soul threads from his first Soul Dimension, one for every beast of his.
While his right and left arm were occupied by the Mutated Eradica Dragons, Feng and Long, Petri was coiled around his abdomen up to his chest.

Sira sat on his head while sleeping soundly again, only for Scorpio to be right next to her, clinging onto Jason's hair.
Spyro had turned into a head-ring, only for Solaris to take on the shape of a necklace.
His entire upper body was fully covered while Jason bound all of his soulbonds to his soul once again.
Because each of them was more than willing to return to him, the entire process didn't take longer than half an hour until all of them were bound to him once again.
Through this, Jason's entire being was enhanced once again as he received a high soul amplification.
Feeling the same old sensation of his soulbond's connection to him once again, his entire existence was flooded with joy, just for the energy that had instinctively clung onto the Celestia aura to sweep over him.
Reaching a state of epiphany owing to the reunion with his soulbonds, Jason was able to break the paper-thin barrier that had prevented him from advancing to the Yimal stage.
As such, a moment later, he reached the Yimal stage.
He would start constructing his Godly foundation, and approach Godhood in no time.
However, that was not important right now because Jason savored the feeling of his soulbonds having returned to him.
As such, he couldn't help but take out his UTC phone, before he messaged Jennifer once again.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})"Our family has returned!"
Throughout the last few months, he often spoke and wrote to Jennifer.
Under normal circumstances, it was possible for them to reunite right now, but Jason knew that if any Primordial race were to find him while he was still weaker than their Royals, it would be difficult to explain the quarter Celestia blood in his unborn child's body.
As such, he had to become stronger than the Royals before a reunion with her was feasible!
But that was no problem because he was not at the Yimal stage, and was ready to become the strongest.
With his dear soulbonds by his side, this was more than feasible.
[It really is the fragment of the Flame of the Beginning.] Jason suddenly heard, dragging him back to reality and away from his joyous train of thoughts.
What Jason didn't know was that the Mana Beast God and the Spatial Beast God had been talking with each other about Jason's soulbonds.
They knew more about Jason than his soulbonds.
Thus, it was a slight surprise to see soo many extraordinary beings around Jason.
Many of them were said to be extinct, while others, such as Solaris, were never supposed to have separated from the Flame of the Beginning, to begin with.
As such, when Jason began to listen to the words of the two Beast Gods, he couldn't help but take a look at his soulbonds one after another.
Artemis seemed to have evolved once again. Her entire physique looked more refined, while the same could be said about her plumage. Her eyes were sharp, and both the ice and moonlight affinity Jason sensed a connection to were far more powerful than ever before.
She became a Demi God, and was now a beast called [Gluttonous Silvermoon Arctica Owl].
Her mutation had further developed, and if she wanted to, every single thing she ate could be turned into the purest essence of mana.
As such, even though she was 'just' a Demi God, the mana that she circulated through her body was the purest, and increased her strength by a large margin.
Meanwhile, even Petri had evolved, turning into a True Mythical Existence, the Golden Eyed Basilisk of the Cursed Soul. This was correlated to the race specific weakening curse that affected the 'soul' and entire existence of the designated target, weakening them tremendously.
He had also reached the Driekta stage, increasing the strength of his curses and physical strength by several times.
The Two Eradica Dragons had separated and worked hard for more than two Centuries as well, focusing on becoming stronger, just to return to Jason after reaching the peak of the Mecynar stage.
It wouldn't take long before they would become Demi Gods as well.
On the other hand, Sira was still the same old Sacred Squirrel, without any 'true' cultivation progress. Only her Blessings had been cultivated, allowing her to live far longer than any being without cultivation.
Now that she returned to Jason, her life would never end.
Spyro the Spiral Spirit became a Demi God, while learning several new techniques that only beings of the spiral path were capable of.
Scorpio, the Golden Wandering Soul of the Poisonous Valley had cultivated at a rapid speed, advancing to the Mecynar stage.
And last, but not the least, was Solaris. Jason had no idea what kind of cultivation base Solaris had reached, or what kind of Tiered flame the black flame evolved to.
He only knew that Solaris' strength had increased the most, making it likely to be comparable to a Tier-4 or Tier-5 Origin flame.
But Jason knew better. He figured that Solaris had gained a trace of its strength from the Flame of the Beginning!
250 years were certainly not long for ordinary cultivators, but Jason and all of his soulbonds had improved by leaps and bounds, reaching a state where their combined forces were enough to defeat even the Royal Primalium with much more ease than Jason could all by himself!
