Primordial Dimensions

Chapter 212 - Mana-heart Awakening



Max and Kia looked into each other\'s eyes in astonishment after they heard Shane. They could only sigh deeply, acknowledging that they were too eager to figure out more about Shane\'s situation.

While Kia wanted to know everything about Shane\'s world, from how it looked to how he felt, Max was more interested in Umbra, who was evidently Shane\'s tamed beast.

​​

Umbra had also completed his evolution and Max also remembered the time Shane had asked him for a drop of Tiamir\'s blood.

This caused him to conclude that it was a prerequisite for Umbra\'s quality enhancement.

However, if that were to be the case, it would be weird as to why a weak beast of the basic dimensions required a single drop of blood from a Wyvern.

That thought was imprinted in Max\'s head and with each second passing, more questions emerged in his mind.

They started to torture him and both Max and Kia couldn\'t hold back their thirst for knowledge anymore.

Shane couldn\'t help but smile seeing their behavior as he replied

"Everything about the Hidden Paradise is perfect. I don\'t feel uncomfortable or anything like that. Furthermore, the world has already increased to a radius of 100 meters which I thought to be a good size for now.

The amount of mana it requires to stay alive is negligible and If I\'m not wrong, the stored amount of mana within the world core is enough to supply the Hidden Paradise for..around 2 years?

This is only due to the huge mountain of [Soul]-grade mana stones everyone brought…

While we\'re at it...I want to thank you two for helping me. I will also thank everyone else properly when I see them again….maybe I should send them a message first."

Shane opened the system messenger hurriedly before he typed a short message to thank everyone and closed the system\'s holographic screen once again.

Taking a deep breath, Shane decided that it was better for him to explain everything at once to prevent being interrupted by Uncle Max or Aunt Kia again.

Nobody knew when he would be able to talk again! His Aunt and Uncle were too chatty after all!

"The Hidden Paradise\'s size should be more than enough for Umbra.

The only problem I can see is that the whole world is barren. Fortunately, this is less of an issue because Umbra can see through my eyes while he is within the Hidden Paradise. 

That is all due to our strong connection!

Umbra reached a loyalty of 100% and I think it\'s also thanks to this that he is able to see through my eyes even without the beast sealing card with the [soul connection] ability! At least that\'s the thought he transmitted to me.

Apparently, this was already possible during his evolution, when he reached a loyalty of 100%.

It seemed that a 100% loyalty deepened their bond, allowing them to see through each other\'s eyes!

My mana absorption is still the same, but with Hidden Paradise\'s mana absorption fully utilized, it might be at par with a human at the Squire stage? However, this mana absorption would only be at par with a Squire in quantity, not quality!"

Right now, Shane was mostly talking about the Hidden Paradise because this was the information that he couldn\'t share by giving someone permission to see his world\'s status panel.

This was different from Umbra\'s status panel and his Innate skill\'s information, both of which he could share with others.

Instead of wasting too much time in explaining everything, Shane shared the information about Umbra\'s status and his Innate Skill with Uncle Max, who quieted down before he would harass him with more questions.

Meanwhile, Aunt Kia seemed to be deep in thoughts as she said

"Based on your response, I can tell that the Hidden Paradise can store much more mana than it has to use...I think it would be the best for you to figure out how much mana you can store in it! I know that you can transfer the mana from the world\'s storage towards your mana pool, but please remember that you have to supply your world every single day, consistently!

You never know when you will enter a place without enough mana to supply the Hidden Paradise! If possible, fill the world\'s storage completely, or at least to a certain degree before you start using its mana to strengthen your body while fighting, or something similar."

While Max\'s eyes widened when he read through the information written on the two holographic screens that appeared in front of him, Shane pondered about Aunt Kia\'s words.

They were certainly true and he also thought of ways to handle the Hidden Paradise for now.

It was obvious that he had to enlarge it in the future to create more living space for his tamed beasts.

He was also adamant to increase his soul bound world\'s size to that of 10,000 meters in diameter in order to fulfill one requirement for the hidden occupation.

Maybe this would allow him to unseal the other requirements or something else, like the occupation\'s name or grade!

As such, Shane nodded his head as he stated his assumption,

"I think it would be the best to store a huge amount of mana that would be enough to supply the Hidden Paradise\'s current size for several decades...I am not aware of the mana supply that will have to be provided to the seed when I would increase the world\'s size but it\'s evident that I have to enlarge the world within me in the future…Maybe I should always have enough mana stored to supply the Hidden Paradise for one year, no matter what size it has….At least, until I\'m able to awaken its mana heart... "

When Aunt Kia heard this she couldn\'t help but smile, thinking that Shane acted very mature for his age before she heard Max, who stood next to her exclaiming

"You lucky bast….naughty boy...How could you not tell me that you have the ability to enhance a beast\'s quality...wait..don\'t tell me…"

Shane knew what Uncle Max had implied and he couldn\'t help but laugh out loud because he had never seen his uncle in such a frazzled state.

Even Aunt Kia seemed to be astonished by Max\'s outburst of emotions as Shane answered.

"I can only see what resources my tamed beasts require to upgrade their quality, nothing else…." 

Max, whose eyes had been sparkling in anticipation, sighed deeply as his hopes came crashing down.

"I knew it….at least you are fortunate enough to have such a great ability...I guess…"

Uncle Max was visibly jealous and Shane could understand him.

If Shane were to be in his uncle\'s shoes, he would have had the same reaction.

Furthermore, Shane\'s ability to enhance his beast\'s quality allowed him to save on several decades of research for suitable ingredients and the required amount which Max had to do to enhance his tamed beast\'s quality and evolve them.

Aunt Kia suddenly remembered Shane talking about the awakening of his world\'s mana heart which interested her a lot as she asked.

"Even after you received our [Soul] grade mana stones, you should still be eligible for the self-earned discount in order to purchase the awakening of the Hidden Paradise\'s mana world, right? It might be extremely expensive but based on our knowledge, awakening a planet\'s mana heart is the most difficult and expensive to do! That\'s, at least, what the Forest Elves told us when we acquired more information about Igra\'s mana awakening…"

Shane was also interested to learn about the price he would have to pay if he wanted to awaken his planet\'s mana heart.

Accessing his world\'s status panel, he gave it a short glance before he accessed its mana heart section.

When he saw how much he had to pay, Shane was unsure whether he should be happy or cry.

He decided to share the information with both Aunt Kia and Uncle Max who was still staring at him in jealousy.

[Mana heart awakening-[Stage-1 Trash]--->5,000,000 Gold coins (Apprentice stage+self-earned)]

Shane knew that he wouldn\'t remain at the Apprentice stage before he would earn 5 million gold coins. He had already multiplied the required amount of gold coins by 10, thinking that this would be the amount of gold coins required to purchase his world\'s mana heart awakening at the Expert stage.

This was, however, only if he were to purchase it with his \'self-earned\' money, which meant that he had to acquire it alone or through other means.

It might be enough if he were to hire someone to do something for him as long as the system was able to comprehend his intention but that was not something Shane could be sure about.

He didn\'t think that it was that simple! 

\'What would happen, if I were to provide everything for certain tasks, and nurture others to become my workers?\'

Nevertheless, after seeing Aunt Kia and Uncle Max flinching at the price, Shane couldn\'t help but be confused.

"What is wrong? The price is not that high, considering that I will have a whole world with an awakened heart, or am I missing something?"

Aunt Kia averted her attention to Shane, unable to suppress her apprehension anymore as she asked

"We have to acquire several dozen million Diamond coins to awaken Igra\'s mana heart and you ask if there is something wrong?"
