Chapter 926 - Sudden change
Defeating the last group was rather easy, but Jason noticed that the beast with normal soul force was certainly something he could bind to his soul.
This was intriguing and confusing at the same time because it seemed as if he was a mutant of the Agran race, and could do something no one else could.
Being an anomaly was nothing new for Jason, but it was still weird.
Yet, while feeling a little bit odd, he couldn't help but be intrigued about binding a wandering soul to his soul world core.
However, instead of considering to do this immediately, Jason believed that it was more important to undergo his true soul awakening first.
There were a few things he was not sure about binding a wandering soul but somehow his gut feeling told him that the true soul awakening should help him to solve the concerns.
With that in mind, Jason rather looked out for other soulbonds, and not wandering souls.
Nonetheless, this didn't mean that he would completely forget about the idea of binding a wandering soul to him, even before the true soul awakening.
Rather he put that idea on the backburner for now.
In the end, Jason felt like everything revolving around the Ninad beast realm was rather weird, including the wandering souls that confused him the most.
He didn't even have a reason for that.
Instead, everything was his gut feeling, and his deepest instincts that made him act as he was doing.
Thus, he changed his approach completely.
Calming himself down, he thought about a few things for a moment before he figured that his thoughts were once again overwhelming him.
Thus once they had defeated the third group of beasts, and fulfilled the requirements of the last mission, he and Jennifer returned to Liun.
There, they didn't expect much to happen as they exchanged the goods which the missions had demanded them to procure before receiving Soa crystals and a bunch of cultivation stones as their rewards.
Without thinking too much about it, Jason stored away the bunch of Soa crystals, knowing that the first ingredient wouldn't take all that long to find if he were to continue solving missions as he had been doing today.
Instead of taking two days for the three missions, they had only required one day, after all.
This was much faster than expected, and Jason was pretty sure that by choosing the correct missions, they would cut back on running into unnecessary issues.
As such, Jason didn't hesitate to look at the notes of missions inside the mission hall, while Jennifer could only smile bitterly.
'Will we continue to complete a batch of missions after another during the following year, laboring ourselves to death?'
Her thoughts were exaggerated, but in the end, they met the crux of the situation quite well.
Jason seemed to be in a rush, which was quite out of the ordinary for him.
As such, Jennifer wondered if he was sensing something that she was unable to tell.
However, when she thought about it again, she realized that he would have told her even if it was something unpleasant, which confused her even more.
'Maybe he doesn't even realize what he is doing? Is his subconscious telling him to rush everything?'
Trusting that Jason would tell her everything, Jennifer tried to figure out a proper solution to the issue she saw unveiling itself in front of her.
Yet, rather than being able to find an answer, she became even more restless when she noticed that her assumptions might be correct.
As such, she forcefully halted Jason's restless movements as he skimmed through the notes of missions while holding one mission note in his hand.
"Jason, why are you suddenly so restless? Did you notice something??"
It would be a lie to say that Jennifer was not concerned, but she had no idea what was going on.
As such, she decided to not beat around the bush and rather asked the question directly instead of tormenting her brain.
After all, the answer could be quite simple and not as complex as she assumed.
Turning around after hearing her question, Jason just smiled subtly as he thought about a proper answer.
"Hmm…I felt a little bit odd since we entered Liun. Maybe, it's because I can see faint hues of anxiety and restlessness radiating from the majority of citizens.
But it's not like their feelings are apparent, or distinct enough to make me really worried. Rather, I got a bad feeling and wanted to figure out if the mission notes can give me a clue about the issues we might run into.
An alternative to this would be to ask Elder Ben, or literally everyone, why they're feeling restless and anxious, or if something happened on the day we weren't there…
However, I can kind of guess what is going on now!"
Jason's voice sounded rather calm, but at the same time, it was weird and intertwined with traces of worry.
As such, he simply held out the mission note that didn't have a grading.
It was tierless which meant that it either involved all existing tiers or that the danger level was unknown.
Both of them were quite a hassle and came with their own set of difficulties.
Thus, it was not something one would choose without being suicidal, overly confident, or extremely desperate.
Yet, when Jennifer read the mission, she couldn't help but feel confused.
Re-reading the mission that had been written on the note, Jennifer tilted her head, unsure if this was really the mission.
Lifting her head slowly, she looked into Jason's eyes before asking him.
"Do you think this mission is based on evidence, or just because someone thought to have seen one of them?"
Jason was not sure about the answer either, but what he could tell was that the mission spoke in plural terms, which meant that there were more than one.
Following that, there was the factor about whether this was possible or completely impossible to happen, to begin with.
"I believe it's true, and if I were to really think about it, I can even guess that the Soul Monarch was behind this…without letting the Yinar race know at all.
This would, at least, explain their restlessness!"
Taking back the piece of paper with the details of the mission, Jason looked at a picture of a race he had never seen.
However, from what he had heard due to the Elder's many warnings and incidents that had happened in the history of the Yinar race, Jason figured something out.
In fact, what the mission said was that everyone who found out information about the Kianan race, that seemed to have entered the Ninad beast realm, would be rewarded
This should have been impossible, but with Jason's hinch and the eerie silence of the Soul Monarch and his Guards, many things made much more sense now.
If rumors were to be believed, Jason knew that the Kianan race was a higher race that was also able to use Soa crystals.
As such, they had been archenemies of the Yinar race as their origin planets were connected by multiple world bridges, creating multiple spots of conflicts.
Yet, the biggest difference between the two races was that the Yinar race had been able to enter the Ninad beast realm quite easily, while it was impossible for the Kianan race to do so.
Or, at least, that was what everyone thought until now!
