Unfolding in Chapter 594 of "Primordial Villain With A Slave Harem": "So you summoned me from my home world and planted me in Thalorind, then armed... Keep reading!
"So you summoned me from my home world and planted me in Thalorind, then armed me with Primordial Villain as a tool to fight the gods?"
Understanding finally dawned on me. "You did this because my goals align with yours... To stand on top of the universe, I'll need to defeat other gods obstructing my path, and while I'm at it, I might as well empty their soul reserves..."
"What use do they gain from hoarding souls?"

… Damn. I didn't know how to react properly, this was truly beyond me. I was a dejected office worker mere months ago and now I was being told by the mightiest entity in the universe how the freaking gods are ruining the balance with their greed.
On the bright side, at least now I understood what the Soul Records meant when it said giving me this power was a risky gamble it had to undertake. If I became strong enough to slay gods, that would mean I could also have worlds serving me, and upon these worlds, I could replicate their methods all in order to create an army of super soldiers of my own. By doing so, I would just become one of them.
"This is all too much for me to wrap my mind around, I'll need some time to think."
"Allow me one final question… Is the Goddess one of these so-called soul raiders?"
Lilyanna… What a warm, kind name. I'm elated to see not all gods are greedy pieces of shit. I might have my issues with Lilyanna and her opinion of me, but at the end of the day, those are just personal differences that can be amended once we sit down and have a talk.
On the other hand, being a galactic pirate ruining billions, even trillions of life, cannot be amended nor accepted. Drakwyn, the world ruined by the greed of others, showed me perfectly well why the current way of things cannot be allowed to continue.
Be that as it may, this was way beyond the current me. I couldn't even defeat some of the ~100 year old mortals like Raika and Vex, let alone wage galactic wars against gods who've been alive since time immemorial.
For now, all I could do was grow in strength at my own pace while following my chosen path in life. As the Soul Records said, I was not influenced. I chose to become the Primordial Villain, and if I wanted, I could refuse to partake in this nasty soul-raiding business.
Hell, I could even choose to retire from combat and its assoicaited dangers forever, after all, I could just live a hedonistic life in my mansion that's far away from any trouble, pumping my lovers full of my so they remain with me for eternity.
Such a life was not what I wanted, not in the slightest. To that end, I had to move forward.
"Thank you for patiently answering all my inquiries. I wish to proceed with the Primordial Rank-Up Mission."
It didn't reply, merely accepted my request.
1 - Master the primordial element of fire.
2 - Master the primordial element of water.
3 - Master the primordial element of wind.
4 - Master the primordial element of earth.
I brought out the four elixirs from my storage ring. The one with the fire contents was empty as I already drank it. Examining them one by one, I now knew Aurora's theory to be correct. Based on the words of the Soul Records, they were indeed the rawest form of the basic elements—their primordial versions.
Then, I glanced toward the world of Drakwyn and observed its four distinct areas, each filled by one of these elements. So that's how it was… The Soul Records had more in mind than merely showing me an example of what happens to a world that falls victim to soul raiders. This was the perfect location for me to master the primordial elements.
Heh, I wasn't distraught at these words for I didn't expect more from this strange creature to begin with.
Telling me all I needed to know and do to succeed would no longer make this into a trial meant to assist me in my personal growth but a mere child's game done for fun.

No.
If I wanted to master the elements, I needed to move forward on my own…
… Which was exactly what I intended to do.
