God's Eyes Chapter 855

Getting to know that the Lord of Death was most likely truly Lux, was both truly relieving and frustrating.

The additional fact that he was able to fuse with one of his soulbonds made Jason feel conflicted.

He was happy to have more intel that confirmed his theory about Lux being the Lord of Death, but the natural soul fusion was something that irked him.

And this was even more so the case because he recalled the strongest soulbond of Lux.

If his memory wasn't wrong it was probably the Lich, or whatever the existence that became stronger by devouring the souls of others had been.

It was annoying to think that Lux might be able to fuse with this being, and receive a boost in his strength.

What worried him was he had no clue how strong they were alone, either.

As such, his mission became suddenly more difficult than it had previously been.

He felt a little bit frustrated about this predicament, and the increased dangers, but at the same time, Jason was not really scared.

After all, Lux had never been a cultivation prodigy, and it had only been around 10 years since he had left with the Shadow walker.

Given the wrong information that Lux possessed a high soul amplification, he must have bound many powerful Undeads.

But even then, it was important to pay attention to one's physical limitations.

If one was not careful about this, one's vessel might break owing to the increased strength that couldn't be held together anymore.

With that in mind, the fact that Lux had not yet reached the Lique stage despite having spent around 10 years with Shadow walkers, and the limitations that were brought forth by one's vessel, it was impossible for Lux to be as strong as Jason.

However, even if Lux was as powerful as him, his cultivation base couldn't be higher, and neither his combat prowess.

Jason might have left Argos a few years after Lux, but his cultivation talent was several times better than anyone present.

Thus, even Linus, who seemed to have lived on Manyr for his entire life spanning several decades, was not on par with him.

This was something Jason was confident in.

Because of this, he quickly calmed down his raging thoughts that were making him feel increasingly uneasy.

His mind was trying to make him believe that Lux was still stronger than him, just like it was the case 10 years ago.

After defeating the demons in his thoughts that were trying to shake his confidence, Jason took a deep breath before he asked,

"If the Lord of Death is so formidable, shouldn't we try to ask him about natural soul fusions? He should know more than I do…and maybe he can help all of us to form more natural fusions with our soulbonds!"

Jason tweaked his voice to sound excited and eager to get to know more about soul fusions.

Not all of this was an act, because he was actually eager to get to know more about the Lord of Death, though he knew more than enough about soul fusions.

Yet, after seeing the frown on the faces of the other humans, Jason couldn't help but feel that he had said something wrong.

However, it was at this moment that the injured young man spoke for the first time.

"It's not that we don't want to form natural fusions, but we feel like it's impossible to achieve this with the Ninad beasts! As for the Lord of Death, he might reside in the Shiman camp, but he would rather kill you and turn you into one of his soulbonds instead of answering a single question!"

The first sentence made a lot of sense because Jason was fully aware of the fact of why the Ninad beasts didn't like forming a natural soul fusion with their binders.

After all, there was no way that any beast would love being treated like replaceable tools!

In his opinion, treating one's soulbonds well was the most important to form a firm, natural soul connection with them.

But Jason didn't think that anyone in the camp would even think of doing the same. And it was not hard to guess why.

Nevertheless, he couldn't watch the innocent beasts being treated worse than garbage, which made him propose something.

"Is it truly impossible to gain a strong enough soul connection with Ninad beasts, making it impossible to fuse with them? Are you guys treating your soulbonds well, to the extent that they would voluntarily sacrifice their lives for you?"

Even if he was not obliged to do anything, Jason felt that he had to say what he said. However, when he received several weird gazes, he knew that his words were considered the gibberish of a drunkard.

With an indignant look, Linus asked him.

"Why should we treat our soulbonds well? They're just the means for us to become stronger, nothing more or less!"

Jason bit his lower lip when he heard this before he countered.

"I treat my soulbonds like my family, and assumed the same to be the case here. Maybe it's not necessary to form a strong enough bond with your soulbonds to fuse with them, but I believe it helped me a lot.

However, I might as well be wrong, so I hope the lot of you won't take offense at what I just said."

It could have been a futile effort, but at the same time, Jason couldn't just sit there and stay put. He had to speak his mind and let out his frustration to an extent.

Now that he had shared his thoughts, he knew that he had to be careful.

After all, he wanted to stay inside the Shiman camp, which was more important than before as Lux was said to live here!!

The intel about Lux's exact whereabouts didn't matter because he could easily figure it out. For now, it was already more than enough to know that he was inside the Shiman camp.

Because of this, he had to hold back his opinion about the way in which everyone seemed to treat their soulbonds.

This made him feel guilty, but there was no other way…for now!

Considering that there were several camps of humans from Argos,, Jason was sure that many treated their soulbonds wrong.

The fact that they were solely on the lands of the Shadow walkers, with many more races that might have created similar camps made him worry about all the soulbonds.

Jason couldn't change everyone's mindset overnight, but if at least a few people were to understand the importance of treating their soulbonds better, he would have won half the battle.

When more people would become aware that a happy soulbond was important in order to build up a proper soul connection, everything would become much easier.

In fact, Jason knew that the Celestia bloodline was making many things easier for him.

He believed it was a major reason for him to be able to form a fortified soul conjunction with his soulbonds in a year from binding them to his soul.

However, this didn't mean that it was impossible for others to do the same, even if it would take a little bit longer.

Unfortunately, the fact that it took longer was the biggest issue because most humans Jason knew were extremely impatient.

Impatience was the worst foe of Cultivators, and this was the biggest disadvantage humans had to face.

In fact, Jason might consider himself to be impatient as well, but this was not necessarily true.

Once he found the right time and opportunity, he could cultivate for a very long time when nothing would torment his mind, and distract him from doing whatever he wanted.

This was also why he had been able to cultivate for an entire year with Jennifer by his side.

Had she been away from him and hunted by other Cultivators, he would have hardly taken a breath of relief.
