After they had entered the banquet hall, Jason's premonition had been found to turn out to be correct. It was annoying, but Jason had to translate everything spoken by both the human embassy and Olympus federation, without making any mistakes.
Though he had gotten used to his temporary translation facilitator role, he wondered why the old dragonewt that was also able to speak in the human tongue didn't turn into their translator.
Little did Jason know that the old dragonewt was doing exactly that, proving that Jason was not deceiving them by sharing wrong information.
He was a neutral individual as a halfling of the human race and another race, and thus the best person to become a translator in the current situation.
However, at the same time, Jason could deceive either side if he wanted to, which was something they had to prevent.
Setting up a wrong soul pact could bring forth devastating consequences.
As such, there were always two translators, one from each side.
Nevertheless, Jason was extremely bored, because the God's children and other prodigies were able to talk to each other, while he was forced to stay with the old people.
Fortunately, his soulbonds were still there and Jason could see them playing around inside his soul world.
This made him relax a little bit, preventing Jason, who was known for his impatience, from going insane.
However, what astonished Jason, was the fact that the God's children had grown more proficient in the universal language than he had previously estimated!
It might only be a few simple sentences, but it was more than enough to start a simple conversation.
In the end, creating the clauses for the first fundamental soul pact was not exactly difficult.
They were making a peace treaty while setting up a business plan on how to strengthen Argos' defenses from invaders.
This business plan included the distribution of seats to enter the broken world.
Everything had to be properly set up, and a short discussion was not enough.
As such, only a few clauses with the basic necessities that had been voted for unanimously, in the beginning, had been added into the contract.
After the contract was roughly set up and every party had been able to add the points they found important, the official document was created.
This was important in order to officially sign the proper documents at the celebration event that would be considered the end of this year's liberation tournament.
At the same time, it would show every citizen of the Olympus federation that the human race was now in a treaty, preventing both sides from attacking each other.
For the human race, it was only a tournament and the embassy wanted to take their leave in order to spread the news on Canir and the Archipelago, but that was not the case for the Olympus federation.
As such, the human embassy couldn't simply leave, otherwise, they would come across as arrogant and rude.
It was something extremely important to them, and the Olympus federation wanted to celebrate their freedom, otherwise, their ancestors would probably be disappointed in them.
Honoring those that had sacrificed their lives for their continued survival was only obvious, and even if the liberation tournament was held only once every 50 years, this was only considered a short time for those proficient in cultivating!
Neither Jason nor the human race knew how long one could live by solely cultivating, but even the limits of the Lique stage were something that was far above 400, which was the uppermost age of the old ones of the human race who were still alive.
In comparison to other races, the longevity may be short, but for the human race itself, staying alive for 400 years was a very long time.
As such, 50 years were like a lifetime to them while it was only considered a short amount for everyone else.
While this fact was intriguing, Jason was more interested in the fact that he could talk with his friends before the celebration event would start.
There were many things he wanted to do, but the most important was in fact, explaining to the God's children what he was planning to do.
By that, Jason didn't mean freeing the Flers, or anything similar, but more that he wanted to destroy several world bridges before leaving Argos for good!
Jason had thought about everything for a very long time, and he felt that it was finally time for him to take his leave.
As such, he approached the God's children where Jarid and a few other Olympians were also standing. Thus, he switched to the human language to talk to his friends.
Jason didn't hold back in stating his opinion, and it was only 10 minutes later that he had finally stopped speaking.
"So…you want to leave soon?" Betty asked, unsure of how exactly she should feel right now.
On one side, she barely knew Jason, but on the other hand, it was sad to know that a good friend would leave soon.
However, it was evident that Jason was held back by the density, purity, and amount of mana on Argos as it was simply insufficient in comparison to what the God's children had heard from the other young prodigies.
Despite not being able to speak many sentences in the universal language, their understanding of it was pretty good after having spent a total of 3 months inside the Olympus federation.
As such, everyone was aware that Argos was not only scarce of mana but also resources, with the most valuable resource being the living beings on the planet.
Amongst them, the human race was probably the most valuable, simply because of their soul awakening that made most common, and even higher races jealous!
Thus, the God's children supported Jason's opinion about the destruction of certain world bridges, while agreeing to leave those that lead to the broken world and other intersections of multiple races, open.
As for the world bridge to the My?ldra, Burane, and Ifrytor race, Jason hadn't told the God's children that he would imprint them into his mind. Once the time was right, he would return to their planet and find the culprits that caused his pain and agony of losing those that had been important to him! It was his personal vendetta!!
It might not be helpful, but at least he would be able to prevent history from repeating itself as long as he decimated those that had caused his sorrow.
Even though Jarid couldn't understand Jason, he knew that the young human would leave Argos soon. He, Xyna, and a few other prodigies had also been told to leave Argos, but they had other preparations to do.
Jason, someone at the Initial rank of the 2nd Lique stage, had defeated them easily.
Because of that, not only was their pride shattered into smithereens but their mind had been cleared of pride.
'If I were to encounter a being with the same combat prowess as Jason, only at a higher cultivation base, my life would end before I can even think about running away!!'
Jason could have easily killed every single opponent he had faced in the Olympus federation, but he didn't do so.
Instead, he had revealed his strength in order to clearly demonstrate that one's cultivation base was only the foundation of strength. He was a living testament to the fact that it could be further increased with martial art techniques, one's affinity, and many other factors that couldn't be figured out by solely looking at the cultivation base!
After the official gathering had concluded, it was time to switch to the more important point of the entire day- the start of the celebration by handing out the rewards on the terrace of the federation's building that could in fact be modified into a gigantic podium!
