Solaris erupted in an outburst of orange flames and had morphed into the shape of the golden-eyed black flame dragon.
Seeing this, Jason couldn't help but smile, thinking that his soulbond was being extremely childish and a show-off.
In fact, Solaris had taken a liking to the shape of beasts and loved imitating them. The golden-eyed black flame dragon was the most complex beast it had taken the form of so far.
Knowing that the celebration event was something special, Solaris thought that putting up a grand performance and starting the event with a bang would be great.
Jason's soulbond wanted his reputation to soar even further by making it seem as if a dragon was sealed inside his body, even if it was only the little black origin flame that devoured the unawakened lesser origin flame!
Not only was its own reputation important for Solaris, but it valued Jason's even more, which was quite a ridiculous thought.
However, the origin flame's demonstration worked wonders as everyone cheered, with the young citizens screaming out in joy as they witnessed the fireworks and the appearance of the golden-eyed black flame dragon they had only seen through the holographic screen before.
The representative of the Olympus federation, who barely retreated a few steps after giving Jason his reward, was looking at the young man while shaking his head.
'He just feeds his origin flame with another one...why not awaken both and merge them…?' The old dragonewt had already been jealous of Jason because he had yet to advance his fire affinity to the extent of a common origin flame.
Yet, Jason, who was way younger than him, not only had the black origin flame that was extraordinary, but he had also received his origin flame; the reward they had specially procured for the liberation tournament.
It was the most expensive reward they had ever given out, and it was estimated to cost around the price of the first few liberation tournament rewards, added up!
As such, it was only obvious that the old dragonewt's heart was hurting, and he was obviously not the only one.

Even Wisse had found it intriguing, but instead of thinking that it was foolish, the young dragon stared intently at Solaris.
'Is its strength continuously increasing??'
However, before he could see the extent to which the black origin flame's strength had increased, Jason raised his hand.
He called back Solaris, whose dragon head turned around, only to dive towards him, merging with the young halfling as if it was a daily chore.
Yet, the commotion this caused couldn't be neglected, which made Jason smile lightly before he returned to the human embassy.
While Merl was not sure if it was possible or even necessary for him to convince Jason in changing his plan about the world bridges he wanted to destroy, Betty and the other God's children huddled around Jason, asking him all the different questions.
This made Jason happy, and he decided to enjoy the celebration event for the next few hours.
Nobody could tell when he would be able to have so much time to spend with friends and relax a little, he was going to enter different worlds after all!
As such, while Jason had the best few hours in years, Solaris was continuing to devour the orange origin flame crystal.
It had already made the first step, and the following procedure was simple, yet cruel for the unawakened origin flame.
Devouring every trace of energy that was stored in the orange crystal, Solaris was slowly enlarging, breaking through its shackles, while consistently devouring the soul energy Jason had accumulated.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})A transformation was happening within Solaris' mana core, as the liquefied mana it had stored was slowly being compressed.
The black origin flame had still a long time in front of it before it was even close to evolving into a Tier-2 origin flame, but that didn't mean it couldn't become stronger.
Breaking through the shackles on it, Solaris' need for mana and soul energy increased drastically.
It was about to create its first prismarine crystal within the mana core, but at the same time, it was annexing several soul crystals Jason's soul world had subconsciously created.
The least Jason lacked right now was soul energy, and it had only increased further during the last few months.
With tens of million soul energy units, in addition to a dozen soul crystals with each of them having used up 10 million soul energy units, there was no need to prevent Solaris in devouring as much soul energy as he required.
In fact, Jason didn't even realise that Solaris was devouring his soul energy because he was too occupied in spending time with the God's children.
Merl had taken him away from the celebration for a short moment, asking him about his plan, which caused Jason to turn serious for a moment as he repeated his views about the world bridges.
His stance was clear, and Merl noticed that it was not possible to change Jason's opinion anymore.
As such, he nodded his head before returning to the other human powerhouses.
They had to set up a plan in order to cope with the changes that were bound to occur due to Jason, but instead of being depressed about Jason's opinion, they felt that it was better this way.
It was still possible for them to enter different world bridges, and their connection to the other continents and even more world bridges was established by Jason.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})With that in mind, there was no reason for the powerhouses to thwart Jason, which was not even possible anymore, to begin with.
When the celebration event neared its end, Jason decided that it was time for him to bid farewell to everyone.
Even if there was no need for him to rush anything, their separation was unavoidable.
As such, he didn't want to forget anyone and regret not having bid farewell to someone.
Jason felt at peace for the first time in a long time, and it was not necessary for him to fight anyone right now.
The only tasks left were to procure information, save those that were important to him, and protect them by destroying all necessary world bridges.
It might sound like a lot, but the things Jason had achieved during the last few years were even more, and each task had brought him further ahead.
If he were to tell someone that he had barely begun cultivating five years ago, as well as received his vision, others would have called him a freak, and that was exactly what Jason was.
In fact, he didn't believe that only five years had passed either!
Initially, Jason expected the tasks at hand to be even more difficult than winning the liberation tournament, but after he had received Wisse's offer, this worry had dispersed in the darkness of the night.
At that moment, as if on cue, Wisse appeared behind him as he looked at Jason impatiently.
"Are you ready to go now? Let's destroy the necessary World bridges on the other continents first before you'll solve your other problems on Canir, or whatever the tiny continent is called!"
