The Power system of this novel is Echoes and Esensia Energy. Those in power are called Ascendants and ordinary people are unaware of Echoes, Esensia and Ascendants.
Ascendants
In this novel, people with powers are called Ascendants. Ascendants can use superpowers by harnessing Esensia energy and connecting with Echoes
Esensia
There is no single form of Esensia. And Esensia is not only energy but also the smallest building block of the universe.
5 Esensia Forms (in order, weak to strong)
↳Basic Form
↳Advanced Form
↳Sun Form
↳Moon Form
↳Cosmic Form
Echoes
Echoes
They are the sounds and whispers connected to the past that an Ascendant can connect with using Esensia Energy.
An ascendant (those in Phase 3 and above) can use the power of echoes by feeling and connecting with Echoes anywhere
Example
↳ A Firebrand Elementalist can use Esensia energy to connect with the past in any place where there was a fire in the past (the example could be other events and should not be seen only from this point of view) and can feel the vibrations and echoes of the fire and sparks and make them their own power. The higher the power of the previous event and the power of the ascendant, the greater the power obtained.
Core
An ordinary person must perform a ritual to become an Ascendant. During this ritual, a core forms inside their body, and once the core is fully formed, the ritual is complete. Ascendants must fill their cores with **experiences** and **Essentia** to continue their ascension. Once a core is filled, the Ascendant's **echoes** begin to go mad, which is why the Ascendant must gather the materials for the next stage's ritual **before** the core is full. While performing the ritual, their body is protected by Essentia, preventing the echoes from harming them. However, if the Ascendant delays gathering the materials and fails to withstand the madness of the echoes through sheer willpower, they will die.
Core Stages
The cores that form within an Ascendant's body have multiple stages, much like the Ascendant's own path through the **Lower Realm → Ascendant Realm → Stellar Realm**.
- While in the **Lower Realm (Stages 1-4)**, an Ascendant possesses a **Basic Core**.
- Upon reaching the **Ascendant Realm (Stages 5-8)**, their core begins to evolve, advancing to the **Master Stage**.
- When the Ascendant ascends to the **Stellar Realm**, their core undergoes another evolution, reaching the **Stellar Stage**.
There are 16 different paths and a secret path There are 17 paths in total. Each path has different branches and different branches have different stages. The first 16 paths will be introduced here and you will see the Secret path in the Novel. Each ascendant can only follow one path and one branch. However, there may be Ascendants who progress on 2 paths. But this is very rare.
The 16 paths:
1. Spirit path:
↳The Arm of Death
↳Life Arm
↳Spirit Arm
2. Path of Chaos
↳Disrupter Arm
