In the end, his body's full acceptance of his Celestia bloodline had initiated everything.
He didn't care about his father right now, or anything else.
The only important ones which Jason wanted to take care of were right next to him.
There was no way that he could afford to be picky, and if he was able to protect everyone dear to him as long as he completely accepted his Celestia bloodline Jason wouldn't hesitate to do that.
And that is what he did.
Oblivious to what exactly was changing within his body, Jason could only sense the enormous masses of energy that were utilized for the new changes that were happening to his body.
The changes included but were not limited to his mana veins, the mana core, the soul world core, the soul world, itself, his Celestia aura, the Emperor Eyes, or even his soulbonds that were already considered extended parts of his existing body.
His Stigma began to itch, to the extent that Jason felt unable to focus on anything but the itching sensation.
Yet, the moment the itching sensation spread further down the longest feather of the reversed wing stigma, he understood what was going on.
Traveling down, until it encountered the joint of his jaw, the itching spread slightly, reaching his ear before it stopped moving along.
Moments later, the itching sensation flared up, starting to burn him as if something was being engraved on his skin, which was exactly what happened.
A second Stigma was about to be engraved on Jason, but instead of being an individual Stigma, it connected to the reversed wing.

Jason couldn't think much about this because his mind was way too distracted to allow him to focus on the merged stigmas.
Nevertheless, he knew for good that it would be close to impossible for Jason to properly hide his Stigma once again.
It would work, somehow, but Jason's excitement was bummed for a short moment when he realized what kind of issues the enlarged Stigma might bring forth.
However, his worry disappeared only a short moment later as tremendous energy waves were absorbed in order to cause the biggest change between the primary and secondary bloodline awakening.
While the primary bloodline awakening could be said to have entered the startling line, by awakening his first stigma, the Celestia aura, and all of that, the secondary bloodline awakening was also manifesting two particular things.
The second stigma had already been engraved on his skin and was connected to his first stigma, but that was not all that happened other than the countless internal changes in Jason's body.
Rather, the biggest transformation was currently underway.
He was unable to see anything because the place of the occurrence was behind his broad back. But upon sensing that more than half of the entire devoured energy was being used for something behind him, Jason regained his focus.
With his full attention on the broad back of his, Jason noticed that he was building up a faint connection to something that was manifesting in the open space above his back.
It took an unknown amount of time that felt like an eternity, but once the thing that had been manifested neared Jason, his entire body began to glow in a silverish-golden light.
The energies that had streamed into his body were also reacting as everything seemed to accelerate, while his mana veins acted as if they were screaming out in joy, and excitement to sense the thing behind him.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})Recalling how his father had looked like in the projection he had seen, Jason didn't even have to think much about the thing behind his back because he was completely aware of what it was.
'A halo!'
Contrary to the halo's one had heard of in folklore, Jason knew that the Celestia race had brightly glowing silver rings behind their back as halos!
While he was unsure of the halo's purpose, the reminiscence of his father and the rings that had appeared behind his back going from one shoulder to another caused him to subconsciously bite his lower lip.
The rings had a strong presence, and when Jason sensed that he was creating the first ring for himself, he couldn't help but be conflicted.
He would attract too much attention with these rings, yet, this was not something he could worry about right now.
After all, the ring had been materialized, and it was only a moment later that he felt an itch in the deepest parts of his body.
All of a sudden, his body instinctively released several soul threads that shot out towards the Celestia's ring, binding it to him.
The process was arduous, and required a tremendous amount of energy, whether it was derived from his stamina, nutrition or the cultivation energies.
Yet, the moment the Ring of the Celestia bloodline was bound to his soul, it vanished for a moment and reappeared with Jason's soul world, where he was able to see it for the first time.
In the end, the silverish, brightly glowing ring had a slightly bigger diameter that spilled outside his shoulders a little, and its edges held a distinct golden tone, representing his eye color.
However, what Jason noticed almost instantaneously was that there were no runes inscribed on it!
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})This proved his first assumption he had upon encountering his father; one had to engrave the runes on the Celestia bloodline's rings on their own!
Owing to this, every ring of the Celestia bloodline could have different uses, according to the runes one inscribed.
Yet, even before Jason was able to think of something, the ring had once again emerged from the Soul world.
It hovered behind his back, highlighting his head before it started to naturally attract and store the surrounding energies inside itself.
Moments later, Jason noticed that the purest energies of the three cultivation paths were converted into divine energy that was also stored in the halo. This realization caused him to feel excitement and joy to spread through his entire body that was under immense pain.
However, the pain was the last thing Jason could focus on right now.
Being able to retract and release the first halo of the Celestia race whenever he wanted to was an exceptional function.
Nevertheless, this was not everything that was great because the halo itself was extraordinary, to put it simply.
As such, there was no need to be worried about anything.
Instead, he was supposed to be happy that the secondary awakening had progressed without any major roadblocks and everything was just becoming better and better.
While he manifested a second Stigma that connected to his first one, his soulbonds' stigma transformed completely.
Five of his six soulbonds perceived their stigma and the changes in its shape, size, and functions, and it was only Artemis, who sensed something different.
Her first horn was now fully enveloped by the Stigma, only for her other horn to turn partially golden, owing to the densely packed stigma that spread over it.
The procedure of the Stigma's changes didn't take long, and once it was completed everyone was able to perceive the changes that occurred owing to the six released Stigmas.
They were still overlapping each other, but now, each of the Stigmas' potency had increased tenfold!
This forcefully increased the huge radius of the Celestia aura further, only for the same thing to happen to the Soul world, whose outer layers reached the borders of the Ninad beast realm.
Initially, Jason had been deep underground, but owing to the tremendous energies that were released in the Secondary bloodline awakening, and the fact that his bloodlines had begun to merge, his soul world's size had increased manifold and reached the surface.
Yet, this was not the most important because the tremendous amount of energy that was once again devoured by the Celestia aura had enlarged further, allowing Jason's halo to fill itself at a rapid pace.
It was like an insatiable pit, but Jason simply smiled, feeling the excitement course through his veins as tremendous changes were transforming his entire being.
Everything was being altered, improved, and reinforced, and nothing was left out.
This didn't even exclude Jennifer, who had awoken from her deeply focused cultivation of several months as she noticed the materialization of the halo.
Her eyes widened the moment she opened them as she spotted Jason almost immediately.
His entire being was enveloped in divine energy, and the halo behind him caused Jennifer to nearly faint.
This was mainly due to the immense pressure it was currently radiating, and the fact that Jennifer had heard many things about the ring behind Jason.
They were only legends, but as of now, she believed this legend to be true!
'This…is that not the mark of a God?!'
