According to the Fantasy School's theory, achieving an "ascension" required fulfilling four conditions established with reference to the Tian Yuan Empire's "primal paradigm," otherwise known as the "four conditions."
Aside from the "vital functions" already acquired, the remaining conditions were:
The basic desire driven impulse to consciously maintain one's living structure and functions, allowing life to continue;
An effective model of experience developed iteratively as a living organism confronted the True Universe and social structures;
And an advanced state, represented by logic and spirituality, formed on the foundations above.
The experiences shared by the "great existence" included both successes and failures.
But with successful precedents to draw on, the first, third, and fourth of these "four conditions" had never been a problem. What ultimately caused failure was still the second: the so-called "basic desire driven impulse."
In the case of "magnetic light mica," more than half of what could shape its "basic desires" had to come from the collective fantasies and projected beliefs of highly intelligent life...
In short, "Faith power."
Tai Yu did not find this difficult.
The "great thoroughfare system" had indeed restricted the scope of resources "Tai Yu" could acquire. But, true to their usual way of doing things, they had dumped the hundreds of millions of clones around the "Screen Eight Sector-8995" star system, already contaminated by the "Evil Cult," onto Tai Yu as a necessary cost.
The chaotic, primitive faith power resources generated by these clones had been handed over as well.
Within the interstellar civilization of the "Myriad Heavens Divine Kingdoms," Faith power resources might be strictly controlled, with red lines everywhere, but setting aside the "religious" and "political" context, the faith power resources of a few hundred million people really did not amount to much.
Especially when these "people" were clones.
