Even if Jason was unaware of what was going on, the mana in his surroundings streamed towards him at a rapid race, actively supporting the completion of the liquefaction process of his first drop of mana! 

After six months his cultivation rank had increased from the 2nd Master rank to the Lowest Lique stage with one liquefied drop of mana in his mana core which was extremely fast even among those prodigies that had a superior mana aptitude.

Everything was thanks to the Solaris baptism which had cleansed Jason's body from a large amount of impurities and Petri's race specific weakening curse that had nullified his soul world's amplification!

Adding that he was able to absorb mana at one of the best possible locations; the large mana vein below Cyro-City, Jason would have been disappointed in his mana aptitude if he were to take longer to liquefy his first mana drop.

He had done a few other things in the meantime, like refining his physique or improving his forging skills, but that was still negligible to the time he employed to absorb mana.

Jason hadn't even slept and instead absorbed mana which was possible thanks to the density and purity the mana vein's mana had.

However, what Jason wondered after he had liquefied his first drop mana was that nothing out of the ordinary had changed.

That was until he realized that something within his mana core began to change.

Under normal circumstances, he would feel a substantial increase in his combat prowess and an accelerated mana absorption rate after breaking into the Lique stage.

But, Jason could tell that this was not the only thing that would change about him!

Once every trace of mana he had inside his mana core was about to be liquefied into the first drop of mana, Jason noticed that it was still not enough!

This forced him to liquefy the mana he was absorbing from his surroundings to fuse with the slowly shaping first drop of mana. 

His mana core was too small to create the first drop of mana, which was extremely weird when he thought about it.

One wouldn't be required to have a particular size of one's mana core to create a drop of mana under normal circumstances, yet, this was exactly the case and Jason was forced to postpone his breakthrough for several days.

Every time he thought that he had completed the process of liquefying the first drop of mana, the almighty aura in his surrounding had resurfaced telling Jason that the amount of mana was still far from being enough.

He was able to sense this aura too and despite radiating from it, Jason felt like this aura didn't belong to him!

Rather than that, it was as if that aura belonged to someone else who was trying to guide him!

However, Jason was unable to comprehend what the aura or the being that controlled this almighty aura wanted from him.

Only a month later, by using the amount of mana one would normally require to liquefy three drops of mana, Jason was finally able to enter the Lowest Lique stage with one highly compressed drop of mana.

It was compressed and had the exact same size the mana drops of others had, but there were faint golden-silverish strands Jason was able to see within the drop of mana.

This was one sign telling him that his liquefied mana was special.

Yet, after thinking about it for a moment, this only told him that he had to absorb three times the amount of mana others required to liquefy one drop of mana.

This would have shocked Jason under normal circumstances if he didn't feel that the first drop of mana he liquefied had opened the gates of his true potential.

It was as if a seal he had lived with for his whole life, began to collapse, yet he had been unaware that such a seal had even existed inside him!

Jason was about to open his eyes and turn to his masters because he thought that they were still nearby him when he sensed something about his mana core was slowly starting to change again.

Not only did the seal on his start to collapse, but there was also the faint, yet a familiar imprint of someone's mana fluctuations within him that had been revealed.

Suddenly, as if he was pulled somewhere else, he appeared within a white room he had never seen before.

However, due to his perception, Jason could tell that this was not real and similar to the state when his mind entered his soul world.

As such he comprehended that he was still in Astrix, while his soul or mind had been dragged somewhere else.

A moment later, he saw that someone manifested inside the room and Jason could almost immediately tell that it was the same being that had visited him twice already. 

However, this time he could not only see the outlines of this being but the entire person behind the blurred face.

It remained silent and Jason couldn't tell what he was looking at as he blurted out

"You are not a human right?" 

From the outer appearance, the being who Jason assumed to be from the Celestia race and his father at that, looked exactly like a human!

He had fair skin and distinct facial features, while his long silver hair cascading down his broad back and silver eyes gleamed lightly, radiating something powerful which Jason was unable to decipher.

Nevertheless, what he could tell was that the glowing, white silverish mark, Jason labeled as stigma,  around the Celestias' right eye, was unique and extremely powerful!

However, the white silverish stigma didn't end at the Celestia's right eye.

Jason assumed that it was spanned over his whole back, where he could see several white-silverish glowing rings.

It was as if those rings were spurting out of the Celestia's back, yet they had not direct materiel connection.

They had several tens if not hundreds of thousand infinitesimals runes inscribed on them and Jason could barely perceive them owing to his exceptional eyesight.

Other than that, Jason was also able to perceive that the rings were not something external but that they belonged to the body.

This was something he could tell from the firm connection his eyes saw.

Only the runes were something that didn't belong innately to the rings.

They had been engraved on the rings, and intertwined with each other, turning them into one entity!

Jason was unable to describe what those runes were and most of them shimmered in a faint light, while others were not utilized right now.

He was shocked about what he perceived in such a short moment, yet, his mind was eerily calm.

Those rings didn't overlap either and worked together, amplifying each other and they threw a faint shimmer on the man that hailed from the Celestia race, who smiled at him gently.

"You are exactly like your mother, she asked the same question…"

Hearing this, Jason stiffened for a moment when the Celestia continued.

"This might sound like an excuse, but I feel like I have to say this!

I only found out about your existence some time ago...you...remember that time? First things first, we won't have much time to talk this time either because my mana imprint on you is extremely weak. This is probably because the imprint was supposed to be on your mother and not on you...but your birth might have changed that…

You look healthy which is good, and I would love to come over to your world and talk with you for some time, but that is simply not possible. Not only would your world implode from the pressure I release, but the world bridges connected to your world are too weak to endure my strength.

Furthermore, our race is currently facing some minor problems and I won't be able to leave anytime soon! But let's not talk about that.

First, I want to apologize to you and your mother...It has been more than 50 years since your mother, with her beautiful eyes, appeared in front of the palace. The foreign race that brought her wanted to use your mother as some sort of tribute, or if you want to pick it like that, they wanted to sacrifice her.

Her eyes picked my interest and one thing led to another until one of the youngest members of our small race became jealous about her eyes that can be said to be even superior to our race's eyes!

Almost killed, I could barely rescue your mother, but this didn't include her soul world, or whatever humans call it. One day, she became very sick and we thought that your mother would die. However, it was only a few days later that she had suddenly disappeared and nobody was able to find her.

You should know the rest better than I do, but I guess that she became sick due to her pregnancy...I don't even want to imagine how painful it must have been as a human to bear the child from the Celestia race!"

At that moment, Jason's mind was rattling, and the information he received was too much for him to digest at once.

"Stop! Why are you even telling me this? Do you want to make me feel guilty about being born, about the fact that my mother had always been sick before she ...." 

Jason was unable to think rationally when he heard what the Celestia, who was indirectly telling him that he was his father, had said at the end.

However, his father just shook his head as he said with a sad expression

"I just wanted to explain you that your birth is something miraculous...we from the Celestia race are already few in number and there are only a few newborn Celestia's every few tens of thousand years! There had never been a halfling either, which means that you are one of a kind!

I was able to peek into your memory and I saw what happened. If possible I would just destroy the whole blood clan, but that will be your task! However, never allow your wrath and agony to overwhelm you!!

After I found you and the planet you live on, I figured out why other races decided to focus more on an Infant-stage planet. That's because of your existence as halfing, one from the Celestia race at that!!

To put it simply, the future of the human race will be extremely difficult and it's bound to be filled with obstacles.

However, the biggest problem is that your progress is way too slow! If you don't start to use your full potential, you will never be able to protect anyone!

Break through your limits!! You have yet to reach the true starting point of a real Cultivator! You can't even control what has been given to you yet!! Once you're capable of doing so, come and find me, the Celestia race will welcome you at anytime!"

Jason could somewhat understand what his father seemed to tell him, but at the same time he didn't tell him anything he didn't know as his father said

"Son, my name is Yaldra...Celestia Yaldra, I hope we will meet again when your next awakening is near...now, focus on your primal awakening and make the best out of it. Don't reject the blood of a Celestia that streams through your veins but accept it, otherwise, you might be too weak to protect the ones you love! 

Other than that, do however you please, but control your emotions! The Celestia race is not a race that hesitates! We storm forward and get our hands on what we desire!!

See you and don't die!!"

Before Jason was even able to react, the white room around him dissipated as a white-silverish hue enveloped his mana core, spreading through his entire being, filling his entire being with energy as his desire for mana had been fully unleashed.

"What a nut head!"
