CHAPTER 55: CHAPTER 51.5: FORBIDDEN CLASSIFICATION

Every clan has its own unique power system, shaped by their history, culture, and accumulated knowledge. Each system reflects the clan’s understanding of life, combat, and the multiverse.

The most common universal framework, developed by the two ancient scholar friends Eryndor and Veylith of The Veiled Luminaries, whose names were known only to the elite of the Knowledge Path, they divides power into two main categories:

– The Tier System (by Veylith):

A classification method created to compare the relative strength of all beings across different worlds.

It evaluates both the core and the soul, using instinct to perceive the essence and energy within any being, regardless of their origin or nature.

Based on this, beings are classified into tiers.

– Power Essence (PE) System (by Erydor):

A detailed method for measuring an individual’s true potential and inner strength.

It encompasses multiple paths: Physical, Soul, Elemental, Conceptual, and Meta-Existential powers.

The system determines a character’s personal development, growth, morality, and adaptability.

Power is quantified in points, which are then converted into ranks.

Using advanced tools and methods, the system calculates both physical and soul points, sums them into a total score, and classifies the individual into a corresponding rank.

--------------------

The Tier System (by Veylith):

Veylith used the vast information gathered from his students across the known worlds to create what would later become the most renowned framework in all existence, the Tier System. It was meant to be simple yet almost perfectly accurate, a way to measure the unmeasurable. But simplicity often hides truth deeper than anyone can bear.

As Veylith studied the Five Realms of Existence, he made a terrifying discovery. The Five Realms were not the only ones. That revelation alone was forbidden, knowledge so dangerous it threatened both him and Erydor, his lifelong friend and rival. But the path of true knowledge could not be stopped. Together, they made the fateful decision to continue, to risk everything in pursuit of the Source of Power itself. Thus were born the two most dangerous systems ever conceived: the Tier System, created by Veylith to classify all forms of strength and essence, and the Power Essence (PE) System, created by Erydor to quantify and analyze the depth of the soul and its evolution.

Both scholars knew that their knowledge could not spread openly, so each took ten disciples, sending two to every world they knew. Every disciple founded their own research order, institution, or even cult, dedicated to gathering every form of energy, life, and consciousness they could find. From their combined efforts emerged a theory so radical it was branded as heresy in almost every realm.

Their discovery was simple yet incomprehensible. All forms of energy, whether called Mana, Qi, Chi, Ether, Aura, or Essence, originate from the same source. This single primal force had been fractured and diffused across the layers of the Multiverse. Each world perceived a different face of it, shaped by its position within the cosmic hierarchy. They named that source Yee, the Breath before Creation.

According to their final unified model, the Tier of a being is determined by its proximity to the true flow of Yee. The form that energy takes, such as Mana in the Magic World, Qi in the Murim, Chi among the Cultivators or Immortals, or Kaether among the Celestials, depends on where in the Multiverse that being exists. Therefore, power is not a measure of strength alone but of how much truth a being can perceive and contain.

So the main theory was that the power of a person was determined by where he was born, in any realm.

Because as you get closer to the source of energy, the power you gain is stronger.

For example, being born in the Celestial World or the Cultivator World means having a greater start than those from other worlds.

Maybe there is even another realm that has a better type of energy.

But that does not mean you are stronger, it only means you have a better start to finish the running lap faster. But if you face a talented or hardworking runner, or both, they will surpass you and you will be late.

And so, they arrived at the final conclusion of their theories.

The Magic World and the Hunters were connected to the Celestials, while the Murim was connected to the Cultivator or Immortal World. That is why similarities can be found between many of their systems and concepts.

Maybe all five realms were once one realm in the beginning and later separated for some unknown reason, and the energy was divided. Each one gave it a different name according to their place and abilities. Or maybe it was all the same power, but it weakened as it reached the other realms because of the seals between the five realms.

Being able to go from one realm to another means you have surpassed the laws of your realm.

So the world transfers you once you reach a certain tier.

Your body and soul can no longer follow the realm’s laws.

Knowing that there are five realms was a top secret known only to higher beings.

If there is a Mortal World, any being without Yee starts at Tier 1, since it is weaker and there are places where energy cannot reach.

The Magic World and the Hunter World both start at Tier 2.

The Celestial World starts at Tier 4,

while the Immortal and Cultivator Worlds start at Tier 5.

Any higher realm stands above Tier 5, depending on its proximity to the Source of Yee.

-----

1- Tier 10(Yossence 1:Boundless)

2- Tier 20(Yossence 2 :Transcendent)

3- Tier 30(Yossence 3:Eternal)

4-Tier 40(Yossence 4:Omni)

5- Tier 50(Yossence 5:Primordial )

6- Tier 60(Yossence 6:Absolute)

7- Tier 70(Yossence 7:Beyond Existence)

8- Tier 80(Yossence 8:infinite)

9- Tier 90 (Yossence 9:above infinite)

10- Tier 100(Yossence 10:Unbound)

11- Tiers????(Yossence ????:Deleted from records and dimensions)

--------

A being can gauge the strength of another only within the same Yossence.

If the target exists in a higher Yossence, their Tier and even their Yossence cannot be accurately determined.

Within the same Yossence, individuals can manipulate their core or project illusions of their power. For example, a Tier 9 being can appear as Tier 7, Tier 8, or even Tier 1 to deceive others.

However, such illusions cannot fool those with extraordinary perception, specialized vision, or heightened sensitivity.

The Theory of Yee

Yee was either separated into many types of energy, each with its own name, or it remained a single force whose power diminishes as it ascends. Only higher beings truly understand the full definition of Yee.

The concept of Tiers is known only to the original researchers, their students, and followers of sovereigns or other high beings.

Most of this knowledge is forbidden. Only a select few truly understand the concept of Tiers, which has since been expanded. Each student created their own classification based on this system. Some focused on the Tier System, while others specialized in the Power Essence (PE) System.

However, Eryndor and Veylith never shared the most forbidden parts of their discoveries. Out of fear of their students being harmed by this knowledge, those secrets remained hidden, known only to them themselves.

---

Each researcher developed their own method for studying energy and power, yet they assisted each other in refining their respective systems. They shared only what was safe and would not bring harm, keeping the most forbidden secrets to themselves. In the end, both researchers disappeared mysteriously, leaving no one to know the reason for their vanishing, and leaving their enigmatic systems, along with the hidden knowledge, to their students and future generations.

Their theory could be right or wrong, and the classification itself might be accurate only to a degree of 10 out of 10. Yet, the most important achievement for the researchers was laying the foundation for a new generation.

This is because there were other methods to harness new types of energy, as well as blessings, hexes (abilities that can nullify the powers of others or prevent the effects of certain laws), relics, and unknown forces, which could be applied in ways the original classification did not account for.

It is also possible that there are others who developed their own power systems and never shared them, keeping their knowledge secret, perhaps for reasons unknown.

The power systems themselves are not guaranteed to be completely accurate. They serve as a framework for understanding and measuring strength, but errors, misinterpretations, or hidden variables may exist.
