The primordial energy circulating through Jason's body was harmful, and he immediately disregarded his previous assumption.

On a whim, he conjured a large magic circle on the ground.

It belonged to Petri through which Jason could summon his soulbond. However, instead of doing that, his stigma began to glow brightly as he bent forward to press his hand on the magic circle, expelling every trace of primordial energy out of his body.

The primordial energy seeped into the magic circle through his hand, and Jason could only hear Petri roaring out in delight. His soulbond's joy knew no bounds as he was supplied with primordial energy which he annexed and devoured in an instant.

Jason noticed this and he could only smile lightly as his face turned pale to hear footsteps rushing towards him.

Turning around he saw that the librarian of the Hran race had appeared behind him, with an angry expression.

"It is forbidden to cultivate within the library, let alone inscribe a magic circle on the ground!!"

However, only a moment later, when Jason straightened before terminating the magic circle, the librarian noticed something odd and he couldn't help but squint his eyes.

"You tried to absorb primordial energy and it backlashed? Don't overestimate yourself. There are only a few races that are capable of cultivating with multiple energies. Just focus on absorbing and liquefying mana, OUTSIDE the library!"

Jason could only nod his head meekly before he searched for a place to sit down.

'Why can't I cultivate with primordial energy? In the beginning, it looked fine, but after a few moments, it was as if my veins noticed that the primordial energy was not mana!'

This was one of the questions he wanted to find an answer to. As such, he started to search for suitable books to read through.

They were all written in the universal language, and Jason didn't waste any more time as he started to study.

**

Almost a month had passed and Jason was still sitting over a huge pile of books he wanted to read.

The librarian, who didn't like him from the beginning, was slowly starting to grow fond of the tenacious Jason.

From the looks of it, Jason was just a young man who was probably in his early 20s if not late teens.

However, more important was the aura he was releasing and the stigma he had.

This labeled him as a being from a grand race owing to the fact that Jason had only reached the Low Lique stage!

When he had read through the books that included lots of information about cultivation, Jason was astonished to figure out that the cultivation system was not as simple as he had estimated it to be.

The nomenclature of some ranks at the Lique stage, namely Lowest, Low, Mid, Late, and Peak was different!

Instead of Lowest, one would enter the 1st Lique stage by creating one drop of liquefied mana. However, one would only enter the 2nd Lique stage with the 1001st liquefied drop of mana. This was a vast difference, and only by adding the previous prefix, Jason knew that the cultivation system was finally completed.

As such, the lowest 1st Lique stage was in fact the liquefaction of the first few dozen drops of mana.

After that came the low, mid, late, peak 1st Lique stage before one entered the 2nd Lique stage.

This was less confusing in Jason's opinion, but another change, he would have to accept in his mind.

Nevertheless, the other information he had procured during the last month was equally important.

However, before he could make use of it, Jason had to process it well.

There were too many things he had yet to understand, and the complete cultivation system was among the easiest.

More difficult, for example, was the knowledge that cultivating in multiple paths requires one to have awakened multiple cultivation veins that were either merged or did not repel each other due to the different characteristics every energy had.

This was said to be possible with a suitable cultivation technique, but Jason was not sure about that.

He simply assumed that the one cultivation vein he had was still sealed as his Celestia bloodline was!

His strength was still too weak to unseal more of his bloodline after all!

Jason, who had unique liquefied drops of mana and a huge soul world with a high amplification of 40% was still at the low 1st Lique stage as he had only 137 drops of liquefied mana!

Meanwhile, his entire combat prowess that he had increased by using every means possible was already at the mid 2nd Lique stage!

This was owing to Petri's physical amplification that had almost caused his body to be ripped apart.

In the end, his strength sounded extremely weak in the new, completed cultivation system he had learned about, but his strength was in fact enough to face someone at the 2nd Lord rank, without the need to unholster his guns!

Now that a month had passed, he finally left the library as he mumbled

"Even if mankind were to be at their peak state, fighting against the federation of foreign races would be stupid...Is it time to reveal everything I know about the foreign races right from what I had already figured out earlier up to the things I got to know in the library?"

Jason knew that the Ariyor and Elvyr race had already departed, and Emily should have gone with them too.

As such, he didn't have anyone to back him up, but also nobody he had to protect, except the Flers and Anna.

However, his connections to the Flers were not publicly known, while Anna was well hidden.

Thus, exposing everything wouldn't be much of an issue. If he were to expose certain things, he wouldn't be able to hide the fact that he was a halfling from another race after all.

This might be disadvantageous, but hiding it forever was not something he had planned to do either way.

His only task was to protect and help the weaker humans.

Other than that, Shane hadn't asked for anything from him.

In order to achieve this, maintaining harmony between the other big clans and foreign races that had immigrated was the most important task.

Considering the same, Jason took the simplest path.

He decided to write a book about the foreign races, and include detailed information of what mankind didn't know about the races and anything else he thought might come in handy. He supported his words by saying that he belonged to a human, yet also a different human-like race.

Jason knew that this would put him in the spotlight as the attention would be drawn towards him.

Some might try to sully his reputation and start spreading rumors, but Jason was not afraid of it.

In the end, he had given his utmost efforts to protect mankind from being conquered and enslaved during the Great Argos war, and there was nothing more he could do.

Just giving his best and having faith in humanity was everything Jason could do for now, and that was more than enough.

He hadn't abandoned the human race that had treated him, a presumed, blind orphan like trash after all!

There were certain things he had planned, such as staying lowkey once he was to release the book in a printed and written version after procuring a new quantum bracelet.

Other than that he wanted to expose his true identity to his friends first, personally because there were already too many clues about him being a halfling and it was likely that they would find out about it sooner or later

Being prepared for the grand revelation was the most important, and Jason couldn't allow himself to make any mistakes.

It had been peaceful on Canir for seven months thanks to his hard work to motivate the big clans and sects to work together against each other, and Jason didn't want this effort to be for naught.

He was still not confident to face the big clan heads or anyone at the Prismar stage, but he was on a time crunch and didn't have a few years' time to confront mankind with the bitter truth of their insignificance!

Divulging all his well-kept secrets might as well help him establish a firm connection between the big clans, sects, and more importantly, mankind as a whole!
