Chapter 526 - Adoption

Three days had passed since Anna had given him lots of information about Argos' latest news in addition to her adoption request.

Jason had never expected to become a father at the tender age of 18, but there was not even the slightest issue in the entire adoption process!

Without any hesitation, Jason had visited the government office inside Ilan city, they were currently in. Instead of being rejected, or even threatened by the government, he was asked multiple questions that had literally nothing to do with the adoption.

Everyone wanted to figure out more about him, and it was as if he had turned into a celebrity.

Their fear seemed to have been replaced by curiosity which was something Jason had never expected.

Somehow, humans seemed to be extremely naive and easily manipulative right now.

At least that was how he, and even Anna witnessed everything.

Anna knew that Jason's reputation had improved a lot, but the fact that it had changed so drastically was still surprising..

Nevertheless, it was an advantage for her because almost nobody bothered about her, let alone scanned through her body to determine whether she had started to absorb mana or not.

She was sincerely thankful for everything Jason did to help her. He didn't have to do any of that after all!

As such, she was trying to think of a proper way to return the favor.

Both had their own plans to become stronger, and Jason's plan was slightly interrupting her own.

This was solely because only a part of her memories had merged with the body Anna owned.

In the end, the memories she had retained from her past life were too much for an ordinary child to handle.

Because of that, Anna would require nothing but time to grow and unseal the memories within her.

The best way would be to enter a planet with dense and pure mana, allowing her to break through multiple ranks at a rapid pace.

Unfortunately, that was easier said than done because most world bridges to planets with a higher mana density and purity were guarded by other races.

Without enough mana and the necessary resources, she was not able to create her own world bridge either. As such, Anna had to stay calm and patient for now.

It was annoying, but waiting for the right time was the only option she had.

Due to that, she had accepted the fact that her family name wouldn't remain blank as she had initially wanted to, and that the blank row against her last name had been replaced with [Stella].

There were only bad memories about her former family, but Jason seemed to be different.

He was straightforward, blunt, and thus honest.

Thanks to that, she did not feel the need to lie about her own ideas and emotions as it was extremely hard to do so with the mind of a two-year-old child that had merged with hers.

In the end, it was obvious that Jason would be leaving before her. He was only staying due to his masters' wish, to begin with.

'Maybe I should help him fulfill his masters' wish after he leaves?' 

This was one of the thoughts she had of finding a way of repaying Jason, but it was not really important for now.

She assumed that Jason would only stay around for one year at the maximum. After that, her own combat prowess wouldn't be strong enough to make much of a difference, let alone fulfill his masters' wish.

Only time could tell what would happen to her and mankind.

If Anna were to know that her dream of becoming unparalleled within the universe, and to leave Argos as soon as possible were to be shattered by nothing but a normal human youth, she would be flabbergasted and aggressively deny the possibility!

However, how could she know just how strong love was without having felt it in her past?

Was love strong enough to make people give up on everything they had dreamed about, to accept colonizing a planet that had yet to awaken any cultivation energy instead of returning to the world of cultivation, to live the life of an immortal she had been?

Meanwhile, Jason was procuring as much information about the invitation of the Olympus federation, but the news seemed to be restricted.

Only the big clans, ancient sects, and other powerhouse families seemed to know more about it.

Mike was an exception because he had eavesdropped on the gossip of the descendants and postmen employed to transport the translated manuals provided by Jason to and fro.

Because of that, Jason messaged the few patriarchs he was still in contact with.

Other than those, there were also Seron, Milan, and his other friends who were likely to know more about the invitation than he did.

After the adoption was completed, Anna received a new ID card, making everything easier for her.

Jason held Anna in one of his arms while using his free hand to utilise the holographic screen in front of him.

Jason couldn't help but feel restless because he had missed a lot of important information.

There were things he should have known earlier, and it was only fortunate that Anna had told him a few things before.

It looked weird to talk to a two-year-old child as if the kid was a mature adult, but Jason knew that Anna had been more than a few thousand years old in her past life.

As such, he could learn a lot from her.

That was only if she were to unseal all of her memories, which required time. This was something he required the most, only to have too few of it.

Because of the scarcity of time he had, Jason had to act fast now.

The invitation of the Olympus federation was in fact an invitation to a tournament the federation held every 50 years in commemoration to escape the clutches of their enemies and migration to Argos.

This was already astonishing, but what caused Jason's eyes to widen and exclaim in astonishment were the rewards!!

Not only did the invitation mention the details of the rewards in the human language, but every single reward the top 10 would receive was extravagant.

"Origin flame…"

In the end, the first place would receive the unawakened crystal of a 'Lesser' origin flame that was labeled as deep orange.

Jason might be unaware of the exact grade the origin flame had or what difference saying that it was a deep orange origin flame made, but that was not important.

'Maybe I can break Solaris' shackles with another origin flame!!'

He was not sure where exactly the Olympus federation received the origin flame crystal and all kinds of other rewards from, but it was definitely suspicious.

Jason had already spent a lot of time with the foreign races and on the other continents.

As such, he knew that the number of world bridges leading to reclusive areas and split dimensions was much higher compared to Canir and the Archipelago.

Because of that, he concluded that it was more than feasible to give out extravagant rewards during a tournament that was held only once every 50 years.

Taking a deep breath, Jason figured out what he had to do.

"I have to participate in the tournament...and win!!!" 

'With the origin flame crystal, I might be one step closer to free Greg, Malia, and the Flers!!'
