Primordial Dimensions Chapter 37: Gathering Intel

As such Shane was determined to start his collections of information on PrimWeb’s interracial section.

Billions of threads could be seen and a few hundred new ones popped up within seconds, causing Shane’s head to ache.

As such he filtered out threads from races that were innately powerful enough to start their cultivation journey inside advanced primordial dimensions instead of inside the basic dimensions.

What use were items he could collect to such races? Selling mortal grad items to them? Good Joke! These items would not even satisfy their newborn descendants, what use was there for matured beings from these races?

Shane knew what he was doing, at least partially and the threads decreased by a large margin, but he still frowned.

`There are so many powerful races?` He began to wonder and alone this information was enough for him to feel a deep sense of pressure falling onto him with a big question tormenting his mind.

`What is if the race outside our stellar system one of the stronger races with a starting point at the intermediate dimensions or a much higher foundation than ours?` Shane asked himself while frowning.

Mankind didn’t even know if the beings outside the stellar system were friendly or hostile, or if they had access to the primordial dimensions.

But taking with the worst-case scenario was the best thing one could do in such situations and mankind prepared themselves to be invaded every day, while they armed themselves.

After the stronger races were finally completely sorted out, Shane continued to filter multiple other races which would have a higher starting point.

Some races would start at the mid or peak of the intermediate dimensions, allowing them to reign everywhere they went without a need to cultivate for years and it was better for Shane to sort them out.

It took him roughly half an hour and when he was finally done Shane saved everything within a pre-loadable section.

With that, he could always switch between the whole interracial forum threads and only his small section Shane needed to gather information for his next ingredient hunt.

Beginning his research the first thread that jumped into Shane’s view was about race humanity had a treaty with.

Elves, or rather the most basic race of them.

Their starting point within the Primordial Dimension was at the Intermediate-Dimension with a mana purity of roughly 70% which was comparable to humans that entered the Master stage with a mana purity of 70% to be on par with the most common average Elven youth.

Elven with an above-average mana aptitude and prodigies of their race would have a higher mana purity and some threads said that their prodigious could at most have a mana purity of 90%, but Shane doubted that somehow.

‘Who released this information, if not the elves themselves? Would they really give out such precious information?

The elves race had multiple mutations over the course of millions of years they existed, which caused them to split into two main sections.

Elves, Forest-elves, High-elves, Divine-elves and so on, on one side, with Shadow-elves, Dark Ice-elves, Magma elves, and Blood elves on the other side.

Humans liked to call them good and bad or holy and evil but Shane didn’t like these prejudices because he didn’t know any of these races personally.

Without exact information or undeniable facts, Shane wouldn’t make an assumption.

Nevertheless, these races interested him and he read the long thread that popped up in front of him without any second hesitation.

A frown slowly formed on Shane’s pretty face which deepened, the more he read.

`Ohh S**T` Shane could only shout in his mind when he comprehended what happened.

Apparently, the two split fractions of the elven races finally began to meet up in order to form a truce after an unknown, yet extremely long number of years.

However, before anything like that happened, the planet the authorities met up, was attacked by planetal destruction weapons, causing billions of lives on the neutral planet to perish within a single moment.

Oddly enough, all the ‘authorities’ all elves races sent to the neutral planet were only replacements, as if they knew something were to happen.

As such, instead of making a truce, the situation between both sides became worse and war began to fill their part of the universe once again after they had a cold war for thousands of years.

The main problem, Shane concluded was, that mankind who formed a treaty with the elves and forest elves were now most likely within the radar of the other `bad` elven races.

Humanity already had problems with the Dark-Ice elves alone, who supported some malicious human organizations after mankind accepted the treaty of their arch enemies, the elves and forest-elves.

`What will happen if they give them even more support or other elven races decide to help the hostile human organizations too?` Shane began to wonder and his head began to hurt even more.

He didn’t even want to imagine something like that, as it would be too devastating.

But Shane was one of the last humans that could do anything at the moment, as such he decided to continue gathering research, which would help his future goal.

Nevertheless, he still wrote down some notes and decided to look out for more information about the elves’ race disputes in the future, because it might help him.

Reading through the threads, Shane got to know several races he never heard before but most threats were either completely garbage, messages about useless stuff and only a few were about skirmishes, the control over certain Primordial dimensions, wars outside the primordial dimension, news about trade agreements, truces, alliances and so on.

Noting down the important information, he also wrote down the area they were living in.

Maybe he could find a pattern and predict something out of it, or get to know what resources were in high demand.

Overall, many races blossomed but weaker ones perished faster than one could expect.

A certain race jumped into Shane’s view and they were exactly like humans with their starting point at the Basic dimensions.

Well, that was at least for the more common individuals of this race and it was important for their ruler to enhance the quantity’s strength instead of their already powerful elite.

As such, Shane found his target, the Elementals’ race also called Elus.

They were manifestations of the elements, shaped into all kinds of forms, either beastlike, bipedal, or formless, but their commoners were [Lesser-elementals] while their elite lost the prefix of `lesser`.

It was also said that the nobles were Greater elementals and their cream of the crop was the royalty with their prefix as Mystic elementals.

Populating by creating an elemental seed within their cores took dozens of years, even with the help of a partner, while the growing process was also said to be arduous.

Even though lesser elementals themselves can be considered strong within the Basic dimension, comparing them with other powerful races, they can only look for ways to become stronger.

The biggest problem for them was that it takes a longer period to increase their population compared to other races which in return turned it more difficult to increase their number of Primordial DImensions, they reigned.

The most problematic fact for them is, however, that they required a high amount of elemental transmuted mana stones in order to accelerate the strengthening process.

With such elemental transmuted mana stones, they could increase their combat prowess and amplify the whole race’s strength with a long-term investment.

Shane was not sure if many merchants knew about this but a few definitely knew about this and searched for elemental affinity mana stones, causing their price to increase by a large margin.

The same could be said for Shane’s darkness transmuted mana stone, he purchased as its price increased by almost one gold coin, even if it was only a tiny one.

But there was something these merchants probably missed out and combining multiple threads together with a large amount of luck, Shane finally figured out a pattern he could use to become wealthy once again!!
