9.1 - The Primordial Void: The State Before Power
Before the existence of cultivators, realms, or even the fundamental laws of reality, there was only the Primordial Void.
This void was not empty space—it was a state of absolute nothingness, where even the concept of existence had yet to form. No time, no matter, no energy.
It was in this infinite nothingness that the First Spark of Power emerged.
This spark was the Origin of Cultivation, the first force that separated "existence" from "non-existence."
From this singular event, the fundamental structure of all cultivation began.

9.2 - The Three Supreme Forces of Creation
From the First Spark of Power came the Three Supreme Forces, the foundation of all cultivation:
I. The Force of Vitality (Qi)
The essence of all living things, granting them the power to grow, evolve, and transcend their limits.
In the earliest stages of existence, Qi was raw and untamed, flowing freely through all of creation.
Over time, it became structured, forming the Dantian, the Meridian Paths, and the Energy Cores within cultivators.
II. The Force of Destruction (Chaos Energy)
The counterpart to Qi, representing entropy, decay, and rebirth.
Chaos Energy was responsible for breaking down old structures, allowing new ones to form.
Many feared this energy, calling it the Power of the End, but true cultivators understood its necessity.
III. The Force of Dominion (Law Essence)
The governing power that dictated how reality functioned.
Law Essence shaped the fundamental Concepts of Existence—such as time, space, gravity, causality, and fate.
Those who mastered Law Essence became Sovereign Beings, capable of rewriting the very laws of the universe.
Together, these three forces formed the Core of All Power, shaping the cultivation system that would govern all realms.

9.3 - The First Cultivator and the Birth of the System
The first entity to awaken within this newly structured reality was known as the Primordial Sovereign.
This being had no name, no race, no form—only an overwhelming desire to cultivate and ascend beyond limitations.
To achieve this, the Primordial Sovereign created the first Cultivation Path, setting the foundation for all who would come after.
The system they developed consisted of nine supreme realms, each designed to push a cultivator beyond the boundaries of mortality and divinity.
These realms became known as the Nine Stages of True Ascension, forming the structure that all cultivation techniques, sects, and Dao paths would later follow.

9.4 - The Nine Stages of True Ascension
From the First Spark of Power to the Supreme Absolute One, cultivation was divided into nine grand stages, each representing a fundamental transformation of existence.
I. Mortal Foundation Realm
The first step, where a cultivator learns to harness Qi and refine their body, mind, and soul.
Before this stage, a being is merely mortal, bound by natural limitations.
II. Spirit Awakening Realm
A cultivator awakens their Spirit Core, allowing them to sense and manipulate energy beyond their physical form.
This is the first step toward true transcendence.
III. Heavenly Ascendance Realm
The cultivator breaks free from mortal constraints and begins to fuse their spirit, energy, and body into a unified force.
Those who fail to ascend perish, as their mortal shell cannot contain the growing power.
IV. Law Manifestation Realm
A cultivator comprehends and wields Law Essence, gaining control over fundamental forces like time, space, and causality.
At this stage, the individual becomes a Sovereign, capable of shaping the laws of their surroundings.
V. Divine Lord Realm
The cultivator achieves true divinity, ascending beyond the physical plane and establishing dominion over entire star systems.
They can now create their own Divine Domains, where their word becomes law.
VI. Universal Monarch Realm
The cultivator's power expands to control entire galaxies, bending reality to their will.
They become part of the Cosmic Order, recognized by celestial beings and primordial entities.
VII. Eternal Sovereign Realm
The cultivator reaches the level of an Omniversal Overlord, governing multiple dimensions and realities.
At this stage, they can create their own cultivation systems, shaping new paths of power.
VIII. Supreme Absolute One Realm
The cultivator becomes a law unto themselves, beyond omniverses and concepts.
Their thoughts, words, and will dictate existence itself.
All other beings, no matter how powerful, exist within their domain.
IX. The True Ascended Beyond Realm
The final realm, where a cultivator transcends all known existence and becomes something beyond power itself.
No words can define this state, as it is beyond comprehension.
These nine realms formed the Absolute Cultivation Hierarchy, the unbreakable foundation of the strongest cultivation system in all of existence.
---
9.5 - The Eternal Growth of Cultivation
Even though the system was created with these nine stages, one truth remains:
There is no true end to cultivation.
Even after reaching the final stage, there is always a possibility of new realms, new mysteries, and new forms of existence.
Some believe that beyond True Ascension, there lies another level—something that even the Primordial Sovereign could not reach.
This unknown level is called:
The Realm of Infinite Existence
A place where there is no distinction between being and non-being.
A level where creation and destruction merge into a singular truth.
The point where even the concept of "cultivation" dissolves into something beyond understanding.
The cultivation system, though it has limits, is designed for endless evolution.
As long as there are beings who seek the next step, cultivation will never end.
