Jason's refusal was not something Miranda had expected to happen.
As such, she stared at him with a baffled expression, only to regain her composure a moment later.
She wanted to ask him the reason for his denial, but before Miranda could even say something, her group members were already voicing their anger out loud.
"What a coward. Running away from a great opportunity, how foolish!"
"Why did we even waste our time with such an idiot? Who cares whether he is the descendant of a Grand race or not, he is just a terrified chicken!"
"How can someone as cowardly as this youth, be born in a Grand race, with special trait eyes?…The universe is truly not fair!"
Jason lifted his right eyebrow when he heard the angered voices of three group members, and the fourth was already about to say something when Miranda lifted her hand.
She glared at her group members in anger and was about to say something, but held herself back.
Shaking her head while sighing, it was obvious how difficult it was for Miranda to make them see things from her point of view.
Because of her reaction that was entirely different from what he had expected, Jason concluded that Miranda didn't want to spend more than the necessary time with them.
That caused him to conclude that she had either been requested to stay with them, or possibly even forced by her master.
All of them were humans from Manyr, after all.
Thus, the possibility of them hailing from the same place was high.
Ignoring their comments, Jason only looked at Miranda before he gave her a faint smile as he used voice transmission to say one last thing.

Had Jason not felt uncomfortable about Miranda's group members, he would have entered the dungeon with her.
But their dislike for him was clear as day so he would rather travel alone.
This might be more dangerous if he were to be attacked, but from the insult one of the group members had thrown at him, Jason was able to comprehend something he had missed out on before.
'My Stigma and Aura probably prevent others from attacking me, in fear of the punishment…or something like that!'
In the end, this was the only reason he could think of for not being attacked, but at the same time, this reason was only valid if there was a large crowd of people.
Without a witness, it was likely for him to get attacked any moment.
As such, he decided that the center of Kinra island was relatively safe for him to be right now.
He was still not sure what path he would take, but before making up his mind, Jason bid Miranda farewell, while continuing to ignore the others.
After that, he left them for good.
'Has it been four months already since I entered Kinra Island?' He suddenly asked himself, trying to calculate the exact time he had spent on the island.
Unfortunately, this was not as easy as he hoped because it was quite difficult to tell if the time inside the Inheritance site elapsed as it should.
Sometimes, dungeons, Inheritance sites, or Secret realms tweaked time, slowing or accelerating its speed within a specific area.
This was extremely difficult to achieve, and Jason had heard some time ago that one required tremendous amounts of energy to change the flow of time inside a small room.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})As such, it was unlikely for extremely old inheritances to have such a place.
But at the same time, it didn't really matter as long as the gigantic Tortoise Island didn't submerge, giving him enough time to spend it however he liked to.
First of all, Jason still felt too weak. As such, he wanted to finish constructing the second prismarine crystal.
However, that was also something he could do while trying to pass the trials of another Inheritance site.
It was not like he would be occupied with doing something arduously during his entire advance through trials.
With that in mind, Jason subconsciously nodded his head.
He also knew that the seemingly endless and invisible strings that were trying to lure him towards them were influencing his mind, affecting him tremendously.
All of the invisible strings were pulling him towards different Inheritance sites, and probably also belonged to dungeons that were trying to attract his attention.
Jason was not sure why they were interested in him, but it had been the case since he had advanced to the Prismar stage.
In the end, the feeling of being pulled in all directions only increased after he unsealed more of his Celestia bloodline.
Because of that, he believed that the artificial intelligence determined him as a suitable Inheritor for their inheritance, just because he had the Celestia bloodline.
But that might not necessarily be the cause. This was because, when he advanced to the Prismar stage, a part of his soul world had been released too.
As such, the Temple inheritance had sensed the racial trait of his human bloodline too.
Jason believed that the Inheritances were connected to each other and that they were trying to help one another in finding a suitable inheritor.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})This was only an assumption, but from the intel he had procured from all possible sources in addition to his own observation, it was not unlikely.
There were many Inheritance sites that had vanished over the course of time, and the reason for this was that their Inheritor had been found.
The remaining energy and rewards were probably distributed amongst the channels the other inheritance sites were connected to.
Jason didn't really have proof to confirm these thoughts he had in mind, but that was the only reason why the dungeon made sense in his opinion.
They had many rewards to hand out, but in the end, he hadn't heard about people receiving a main inheritance from there.
Only heavenly treasures and all kinds of other rewards had been found but never was a fate-changing inheritance that altered the constitution of someone discovered.
Even Luna didn't receive a full inheritance, but only a fraction of it because she was not suitable for the inheritance. Yet, her eyesight had been enhanced and she had received a 'Heaven' ranked cultivation manual!
Adding all the facts together, Jason slowly began to understand Kinra island's structure.
However, it was still a little bit odd that all inheritances had been situated on a single island, or to be precise a living being at that.
What would have happened if the Gigantic Tortoise Island had been killed by a stronger powerhouse?
Intrigued by all of this, Jason couldn't help but smile as his hunger to understand the situation fully, had been ignited.
Because of that, he decided to follow his gut feeling which made him follow the strongest force that was pulling him towards a site.
It was not difficult to figure out which one that was, amongst the seemingly countless invisible threads that attracted him because Jason had to use his entire focus to avoid subconsciously approaching a specific site.
Following the pulling force, Jason flew through the air, and he was not sure how long it took him exactly, but after some time he found a pitch-black obelisk that was erected more than a hundred meters above the ground.
However, Jason was utterly confused…
"That was not here before!"
