Somehow, both Jason and Celestia Yaldra were unable to show the emotions that were hidden deep within their conscience.
They had so many things to tell each other, but felt incapable of finding the right words to express themselves.
Time was running out much faster than expected, and the connection between the two was starting to fluctuate wildly.
This caused them to frown almost at the same time, only for them to ignore the Queen's dumbfounded gaze that was clearly confused about one particular thing.
'Why Primal humans?!'
In the last few minutes, Jason and Celestia Yaldra had mentioned the Primordial race quite often, and it looked like both were on the same page about the importance the Primal humans had.
Yet, instead of commenting on it, the Queen forced herself to stay quiet. It was more important to give the father-son duo the last few minutes which they required to end their short conversation properly.
With that in mind, she heard the answer Celestia Yaldra gave Jason in quite a simple manner.
"Alright, I will send the list of materials for both True Soul Awakenings to Lilya soon. If you need anything, just request it from her, I will try to send it over…somehow without letting anyone notice."
"No need, I will just exploit the Sacred Elvyrs. They want me to help restore an entire planet after all!"
Turning his head towards Queen Lilya, he just nodded his head as if he knew what was going on before he mumbled,
"So you are really doing it. Great."
Afterward, Yaldra turned his head back at the hologram before smiling at Jason.

"Don't forget that I dearly loved Mina, and y-yo-...."
Just at this moment, the connection between Jason and his father was cut abruptly.
It was sudden, and neither received a warning before the call got disconnected.
This caused Jason to sigh deeply.
But even then, the smile on his face didn't fade as he turned towards Queen Lilya with a newfound resolution in his brightly gleaming eyes.
"Soo…Should we start negotiating?"
There were too many things he wanted to ask his father, but the time he had received to speak with him had been too little.
And from the way Celestia Yaldra had spoken about the connection of the secret channel that allowed the call, it was impossible to establish the connection for the time being again..
Jason was not sure why this was the case, but it looked like there might be a few issues with the manufactured runes.
They might even require some time or a cooling off period before they could be utilized once again.
This was the most likely, which caused Jason to nod his head in response.
He had only required a few seconds to accept the fact that it would be impossible for him to talk with his father for the time being.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})As such, instead of fretting over the missed opportunity, let alone sulking about what he should have said, Jason diverted his attention to the need to grow stronger.
'The next time we talk, let it be face-to-face!'
Continuing to smile, Jason's hopeful expression caused the Queen to sigh deeply.
Earlier, she had been able to roughly gauge what Jason had wanted from her and her entire race.
But now it seemed that it was far more than expected, and she could only sigh deeply.
"Alright, let's start the negotiations!" She announced before leading Jason back to the main hall of the highest floor.
Kiat was already waiting there while a few more powerhouses seemed to have arrived as well.
Jason and Jennifer were introduced to them, but Jason didn't really bother to remember their names.
He knew that it was unlikely for him to have much to do with them or ever meet them again.
Thus, he ignored them and instead his gaze followed the Queen who seated herself on the chair that had been placed in the middle of the room.
A large wooden table and several chairs had been placed in the center of the hall, and both Jason and Jennifer pulled out a chair each before seating themselves.
"I guess you want to be provided with all the items written in the list prepared by Kiat and your father, right? I approve of this!"
Upon hearing her doubt, Jason just nodded his head.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})He was not sure how expensive the materials for the True Soul awakening of both the Celestia and the Primal human race were.
Because of that, Jason didn't waste much time thinking about it.
In the end, it was pretty obvious that he required the items, while the Sacred Elvyrs required him.
No other Celestia would willingly waste their precious time cleansing an entire planet of dark and impure energy, at least not without securing the rights to reign the entire race that had requested their help.
With that in mind, Jason knew that the items they had been handed over were but a small portion of what he could actually request.
"I also want either a Life essence flame, or a Flame of Destruction." Jason stated, causing Kiat and the other powerhouses to lift their eyebrows, but he ignored them all and continued stating several more items he required.
"Other than that, I need a small fraction of the Cursed Onyx monolith, the core piece of the Caryian Arctica, a fruit called Liasc Spiritus mailua, Holy baritan water, and possibly the essence core of a Space frog!"
Jason finished listing out a few extremely rare items he had heard about not too long ago and no sooner had he uttered those words, the few powerhouses jumped up from their chairs.
They were obviously enraged, but Jason didn't really mind this as he added,
"Ahh and I would obviously also need cultivation resources, including all types of cultivation stones, and high-grade nutrition solutions worth 100 years of cultivation for both me and Jennifer!"
These demands were the final nail in the coffin that caused the three powerhouses to glare daggers at him as one of them suddenly yelled at him.
"You insolent brat. Who the hell do you think you are to exploit us like this?!?!"
Despite spewing hatred for Jason, he merely looked at him with a completely unbothered expression.
His lips curled up, and a moment later, the Sacred Elvyr powerhouse realized that he had messed up as the erupting mana and lesser divine energy of the Queen enveloped him tightly, causing him to nearly suffocate.
Yet, it was only a moment later that Jason waved his hand, telling her that he was unaffected by his disrespectful comment.
"First of all, I'm Jason, if you don't know that. As for who I am…I am the person who will cleanse Lyina, so how about you act a little bit nicer, otherwise your Queen will be displeased with your behavior. That is even more so if I were to disagree in helping out, right?"
Smiling lightly, Jason finished his warning/comment before switching back to the more important things.
"Everything what I stated is but a one-time payment you guys will have to deliver! How long will you be able to live on Lyina once I cleanse it? Is it for one year, or…forever under the condition that your race vows to protect it?!"
Jason knew that he was demanding a lot, but he couldn't care less because he knew how important he was to the Sacred Elvyrs.
After all, they were the ones to clearly benefit more from the entire situation than it was the case for him.
Even if he were to request far more than what he had just stated, it wouldn't matter, and the Queen was fully aware of this.
This was also the reason why she nodded her head after a few seconds of hesitation.
"I agree…Thank you!"
Jason just smiled at this, thinking that everything went by much better than he had expected.
With that in mind, he clasped his hands together before stating the point he was the second most intrigued about.
"Sooo…now lets come up with the plan on how to cleanse this frustratingly large planet of its dark and impure energies as quickly as possible!"
