Chapter 444: Split apart

In the days that followed, Shane spent his time searching for items that were useful to enhance his soulbonds' quality.

He either bought them directly or noted the names of the ingredients in addition to the quality they needed to show the highest potency.

Given the small stock of items, he hoped that it would be enough to increase Umbra's quality to the highest because Shane was eager to figure out what kind of evolution paths his first soulbond could take.

Other than that, he was interested in knowing the exact percentage of an amplification he received because it was likely to make a huge difference once he reached a higher cultivation base with more soulbonds at a high stage!

Nevertheless, that was something he didn't have to think about right now.

Instead, Shane was supposed to focus on himself and the liquefaction of his mana.

While he decided to enter Masua once again as it was the only planet with the highest amount, density, and purity of mana, Shane had access to, his family was pondering about what exactly they were supposed to do with the 800 Supreme tickets they had.

In the end, one Magi tree seedling was extremely expensive and the intel Shane had provided was more than enough to make everyone believe that purchasing a World tree seedling might be the better solution.

However, in order to know if this was truly the best way, Shane would have to be able to procure the old magi trees.

Their number was in the thousands, and the Uniters, Talia, and Miriam, who Shane had told about the secret realm, were extremely excited about it.

Unfortunately, this did little to remove the majority of threats looming over  Igra.

Not only was the human race now divided, but all kinds of organisations had started to initiate the first attacks on the government.

In the beginning, it had been unknown why almost every organisation backed by foreign races was coming out of hiding and starting to act roughly at the same time.

However, after a short amount of time, the reason behind this was revealed. It was because the Dark Ice elves and Eclipse thunder devils had started to send their warships to all kinds of planets, destroying more than 20 planets within a month.

These planets had belonged to those that had been against the Dark Ice elves, but even worse was the fact that the Divine elves were either unable to actively retaliate against the Dark Ice elves and Eclipse thunder devils or that they were too weak to do anything.

Maybe they were already acting, but John Stella, his circle of comrades, and both Talia and Miriam could tell that the worst case they had imagined was not something far ahead in the future, but a certain situation that was bound to happen soon!

In the end, the reason for the foreign races to act on Igra was that they wanted to increase the number of slaves they had as well as use humans as cannon fodder that could breed fast.

Humans were able to procreate much faster in comparison to other races, and their talents were also not something one could take lightly.

Considering that mankind had secured a firm foothold inside the Primordial dimensions in only slightly more than two centuries, they had to be special.

At least, that was what most races that manipulated a bunch of humans were thinking of.

Thus, war broke out on Igra, initiated by several organisations that were focusing on taking over the government.

Meanwhile, the Astral Starlight faction hadn't attracted too much attention owing to the fact that they had preferred staying lowkey for the last few months.

This was not exactly true, but the foreign races were simply ignoring Shane's faction, which was extremely fortunate.

However, this only caused mankind's situation to worsen because a large margin of humans had remained with the government that was not being bombarded with terrorist attacks.

Panic spread through the entire planet, and even John Stella in addition to his comrades was not sure what exactly they could do.

If they were to suddenly act, the foreign organisations might as well avert their attention to them.

This was the last thing they wanted because they had to protect the people who trusted them with their lives and had joined the Astral Starlight faction.

Playing around with millions of lives was simply out of question, and everyone was aware of this.

As such, the only thing everyone could do was to silently spread the information about the Astral Starlight faction and the fact that they were trying to save everyone.

Whether this worked on the remaining humans who were panicking in the face of daily terrorist attacks or not was questionable, but even if nobody decided to trust them anymore, colonizing a planet with a few million humans would already be hard enough.

If that number increased to hundreds of millions, not only would Shane have problems letting everyone enter his soul world in order to save the vast majority of beings at once, but the chances of someone betraying them were also higher.

Everything had its risks, and there could be a traitor even within the current number of several million humans that largely consisted of the Astral Starlight faction members and their families.

Only by monitoring everyone and everything, every single day, could the faction lessen the chance of having a traitor among them.

However, even then, fear spread through mankind, yet, Shane ignored most of it as he had already started to liquefy his mana in order to reach the Master rank.

This was extremely important because it increased his soul world's size as well as the possibilities of people entering the Hidden Paradise, lessening the restrictions because Shane wouldn't enter the Basic Primordial dimensions anymore.

As such, Miriam and the Conquerors were finally allowed to liquefy their mana once they had solved their missions too!

With that, the Starlight guild's combat prowess would skyrocket, and everyone in the combat unit would be able to increase their combat prowess as much as possible before they would start colonizing a planet that may be smaller but filled with unknown dangers.

Nobody knew what exactly awaited them once the system and Primordial dimensions were to disappear, but Shane had a premonition about the entire situation they were about to face.

Nevertheless, this was something their future could only tell, and Shane's task was to become the strongest version of himself at the present, without giving anyone the chance to kill him.

As such, he liquefied his mana with a slow but steady speed, preventing all kinds of mistakes that could happen by rushing things.

Time seemed to pass slowly, and Shane lost track of time before he received several notifications at once.

[Congratulations to the host for entering the Master stage by liquefying the first drop of mana. The host will now lose his access to the Basic Primordial dimensions and will be unable to enter!]

[Congratulations for entering the Master stage with a |True perfect foundation|! The host may not feel any changes right now, but the drop of mana will slowly enhance the host's entire body. Be mindful of the pain!]

[The host has fulfilled the requirement given by |him|. Shane Stella, the Descendant of the Ancient will now be teleported!]

[Teleport initiated in...3...2...1...now!]
