Heavin asked about the further ones.
"What comes after the Godly Soul Source Realm?"
Soren nodded as he explained.
"As you can see, there are fewer Soul Cultivation Realms than there are Spiritual and Godly Energy Realms. While there are ten realms of Spiritual Energy Cultivation in the Mortal Realm, there are only six for Soul Cultivation."
"The same thing happens in the Godly Path Realm. Once you ascend, you will go through six realms: Transformation, Mortal Rejection, Godly Fusion, God Foundation, God Core, and Nascent God. In total, it's six Godly Energy Realms. As for Soul Cultivation, there are only three. Also, they only have five stages each. The Godly Soul Source Realm is the first one there."
"The second realm is basically the increase of your Mental Energy Source. During the five stages of the 8th realm, your Mental Energy Source will increase at least 10 times in size. In short, it's creating a foundation for the next realm."
Feifei and the others nodded. That was indeed a simple explanation but well-defined enough to understand.
"So... Should we call it something like Godly Soul Foundation Realm? Heavin's cultivation technique already has the Soul Foundation Realm near the start, after all."
Soren didn't seem to mind.
"Well, it is very fit for the job. Even my own name was similar, Godly Soul Foundation Manifestation. Let's just go with your idea. In any case, it's just a few names, so it's that important."
Everyone nodded before Soren explained the next realm.
"The ninth realm would be what I call the Nascent Soul Manifestation Realm."
Heavin immediately asked.
"Is this a realm equivalent to the Nascent God level?"
Soren nodded.
"Yes. Well, just select a different name for this as well."
"Since we already have the Nascent God Realm, we might as well stick with Nascent Soul God."
No one complained about that.
"That's settled, then. Unlike the Godly Energy Cultivation Path, there is no need for a Core in the Mental Energy Realm. Naturally, we don't have something like the God Core Realm. The Nascent Soul God Realm will use the foundation created during the Godly Soul Foundation Realm to strengthen itself. Before, the Mental Energy Source didn't have any space to improve anymore, but now it does."
"It's like a cup of water. The cup was small, so it has already reached a limit of how much water it could hold. However, you obtained a much bigger cup during the Godly Soul Foundation Realm, so the Nascent Soul God Realm will simply fill it again. During this process, the Mental Energy Source will be purified as well."
Krune couldn't help but ask.
"However, the jade slip you gave us only has the first seven realms. The Godly Soul Foundation and Nascent Soul God Realms aren't available."
Soren already expected that question.
"That's because I've gotten a few ideas after seeing Heavin's own version of my Soul Cultivation Technique. He was able to make modifications to make it work better for each race. I want to revise it with him after we head to the Godly Path Realm. I'll have him give you guys a copy after we finish it. Well, it'll take a long time before that happens."
"Remember, it isn't because there are only three realms in the Soul Cultivation Technique that it's easier. I'll be honest with you all. You will probably reach the Peak of the Nascent God Realm before you do the same with the Nascent Soul God Realm. The Soul Cultivation Technique becomes excruciatingly difficult from the 7th realm and above."
Krune and the others didn't mind. It was good as long as they could use it. Of course, they had to think about whether they would create a Mental Energy Source or not. After all, they wouldn't be able to reincarnate once that happens.
"What do you guys want to do now?"
Heavin and Soren looked at each other in response. Not long after, Soren said.
"I'll bring Heavin with me for now. He still needs to reach the 5th Stage of the Soul Source Realm before he can ascend, after all. I will use this time to work on the Soul Source Realm with him since he's only a Divine Soul. He is different from the rest of you."
"As for you all, you can simply use the Soul Source Realm cultivation technique I gave you. It is already enough for you to progress in it. As I can see, you are all in the Soul Control Realm 5th Stage already. Your Mental Energy might not be as strong and pure as Heavin, but yours aren't that bad either."
Fura then raised her hand.
"What about me? I'm already in the Soul Source Realm, and I'm also at the peak of the Divinity Realm."
Soren shrugged his shoulders as he replied.
"You can now use the fused elements and laws together with Mental Energy. The only problem is that you were forced to break through to the Soul Source Realm way too quickly. As you probably noticed, you are absolutely no match for Heavin in terms of Mental Energy combat even though he's an entire realm below you."
"If I were you, I would use your cultivation to call the Ascension Tribulation. Once you arrive in the Godly Path Realm, use Godly Energy to reinforce your Mental Energy Source. Don't try to break through to the Godly Soul Source Realm straight away. Wait a few years before doing that."
Fura nodded before saying.
"Thank you, Senior Soren."
"No problem. As for Krune's group, you can already break through to the Soul Source Realm if you want. I can see that all of you have been in the Soul Control Realm for a long time, so there isn't much to be done anymore. Of course, only do it if you really want to give up your chance to reincarnate in the Four Realms."
It was already too late for Fura, so she could only press forward now. Krune's group could still decide to step back.
"Well, I'm already at this point, so I'll press forward. If I stop now, it will be like I'm missing something."
Feifei, Lucio, and Liriu nodded their heads. They also felt the same way. Besides, when you reincarnate, you lose your memories if you don't brand them ahead of time. In the end, they couldn't tell if their next reincarnation would really be them or not. Since that's the case, why should they care?
"Hahaha! Good! Then I'm looking forward to what you can do. In Heavin's case, he isn't a normal soul but a Divine Soul. That being said, he wouldn't be able to reincarnate to start with. He can only follow this path from now on."
Heavin wasn't surprised by those words. He had already thought of this possibility a long time ago. Soren basically confirmed his suspicions, that's all.
"Alright. Krune told me that he has a special connection with Heavin since he was his Divine Soul before. That being said, I'm bringing him away with me for now. If you need to talk with him, just come and find him by yourself."
Soren then turned around and opened a Spatial Gate. Soon after, he and Heavin disappeared from that place.
"Well, there they go."
Fura took that chance to talk as well.
"I need to prepare for my ascension. Even though it should be easy with my new Mental Energy abilities, I don't want to take any chances. But before that, let's visit the Holy Seer of the Sufrot Religion. I'll give you my Heavenly Fragment, as I mentioned before."
Krune and Feifei nodded, satisfied.
"Great! Thank you."
Lucio and Liriu didn't want to go, though.
"In that case, we're heading back to Luvile Universe. I'm also worried as to what happened to your grandmaster."
Liriu nodded.
"I also want to go check on my parents. They're probably worried sick."
Krune finally remembered Lani's battle for the trade route.
"Master, should I go as well?"
Lucio shook his head as he said.
"There's no need. You have no idea how strong your grandmaster is. If anything happens, I'll contact you."
Seeing his master's confident expression, Krune could only nod.
"Very well. See you all another time."
With that, they departed in different directions.
While they were gone, many changes were happening in Soren Ruins. First, the ruins stopped pulsating with energy and returned to their previous state back then. That immediately caught all the cultivators and demon beasts' attention. Following that, the crystal demon beasts and ghosts inside the ruins began to crumble apart and dissipate. Thanks to that, anyone could go into the Core Region without having to deal with any dangers. Well, any danger related to the Soren Ruins, of course. There were still the cultivators and demon beasts who might attack you in the end.
However, there were three events that took up most of their attention.
First, it was now possible to open Spatial Gates inside the Soren Ruins. Because of that, most of the forces inside began to teleport straight to the Core Region to look for treasures.
The second one was the discovery of the planet and sun that no one knew about. The news quickly spread, and that place became crowded. Just like Soren mentioned, many good things stayed behind. Because of that, battles began to occur everywhere.
The third event was how the ruins acted. Before, there was some kind of energy that kept the ruins together. However, that energy had now disappeared, which caused a chain reaction. Little by little, the ruins began to drift apart in outer space.
Such changes took the Universe Powerhouses' attention, who sent many of their members to check it. As one could imagine, it didn't take long before the survivors of Zugen's attack were found and began to open their mouths.
