Spirit Energy

Biodata

Power Progression

System and Rankings

• Espers are evaluated primarily through Spirit Energy Strength, while Source Energy Martial Artists are evaluated through Source Energy Strength. A lifeform can qualify for a tier by reaching the relevant threshold in either energy. 2
• Tiers 1–3 concern condensing, projecting, and enriching Source Energy and Spirit Energy; Tier 2 users can project aura and spirit pressure outward. 175
• The exact increase in power per point varies by individual, but the gap between major tiers is far greater than a simple numerical comparison. 2

Nature and Cultivation

“Will and consciousness are the source of Spirit Energy.” 29

• Spirit Energy is connected to consciousness, will, and Mental Power. A collapsing consciousness or wavering will can severely weaken its effects or cause total Spirit Energy loss. 29
• Spirit Energy Affinity affects passive cultivation. Jiang Xiao's High affinity grants general experience while equipped meditation methods add Spirit Energy experience during idle cultivation. 79
• The Phantom Spirit Mental Meditation method grants 50 Spirit Energy experience per hour while idle; up to two meditation methods may be equipped. 74
• Experience from combat, killing powerful lifeforms, and studying knowledge can directly increase Spirit Energy Intensity. 23 73 191
• Advancement costs rise sharply: at Tier 2, one additional point can require 1,000 experience, while Tier 3 improvements require tens or hundreds of thousands. 12 79 129
• Holy Liquid can enhance both Source Energy and Spirit Energy, making it a valuable cultivation resource. 96
• Prolonged exposure to the Deep Space Domain without sufficient Spirit Energy or spiritual resilience can cause hallucinations, nerve damage, or brain death. 78

Applications

Superpowers and Mental Combat

Spirit Energy is the core power behind Espers and is central to Jiang Xiao's Origin Data ability and Mechanist profession. 6

• It can reinforce Origin Data's processing, research, control precision, and information-based effects. 23 113
• Mental Spellcasters may possess substantial Spirit Energy without having a superpower; their abilities can instead rely on spellcasting and Mental Power. 70
• High-quality Spirit Energy is necessary to influence fundamental forces through telekinetic superpowers. 70
• Jiang Xiao uses Origin Data and Spirit Energy to resist or defeat the mental pressure of higher-tier enemies. 287 288

Datafication and Information Materialization

Spirit Energy powers several of Origin Data's most unusual functions.

• Jiang Xiao fills an entire defense ship with Spirit Energy-driven Origin Data to datafy it, spreading Deep Space corrosion across the ship rather than allowing it to destroy the warp engine directly. 77
• At Tier 3, he can manifest machinery he fully understands by burning Spirit Energy. 79
• Spellcasters use Spirit Energy imprints called Spell Circuits to record information; activating a circuit materializes its stored information outside the caster's consciousness. 128
• Summoned Mecha require no conventional production once their principles have been scanned and recorded, but their summoner must pay the Spirit Energy, Source Energy, and sometimes Mental Power cost. 128
• The World Space trait allows non-living objects to be converted into information and stored in the Origin World, then materialized wherever Origin Data reaches; both processes consume Spirit Energy and Mental Power. 192

Stealth and Detection

• Aether Silence simulates Aether particles to suppress visual observation, mechanical detection, Spirit Energy perception, and mental scanning. Its activation greatly increases Spirit Energy consumption. 73
• Spirit Energy Detector Hubs monitor special areas for Spirit Energy fluctuations and can use shields powered directly by the Deep Space Domain. 150
• Origin World's Target Search can scan detailed data from lifeforms at Tier 5 and below; scanned targets cannot shield their information. 118

Consciousness Descent

The Consciousness Descent Matrix combines Spirit Energy Circuits, consciousness synchronization, Spirit Energy nodes, and quantum entanglement. 142

• It permits instantaneous consciousness descent anywhere within Quantum Network coverage. 142
• A descended consciousness synchronizes half of the main body's Spirit Energy intensity and magnitude while retaining access to most of its power. 142
• More advanced descent technology can produce Spirit Energy indistinguishable from Jiang Xiao's main body. 168

Technology and Equipment

• Spirit Energy Circuits — Circuits built from Spirit Energy and Mental Power principles; they can support spells, consciousness synchronization, and hybrid equipment designs. 65 128
• Spirit Energy Equipment — Equipment amplified through Mental Power, Spirit Energy, and related Idealist Energy; its effectiveness depends on the quality of the user's Spirit Energy. 121
• Spirit Energy Condensing Liquid — A resource that rapidly gathers Spirit Energy around a single core; it functions on both a user's energy and Deep Space Spirit Energy masses. 178
• Spirit Energy Resources — Advanced materials with Spirit Energy Traits or the capacity to carry and amplify Source Energy and Spirit Energy at high intensity. 278
• Machine Souls — Machinery that achieves a Miracle can be amplified, repaired, re-energized, and reloaded through Spirit Energy, subject to the weapon's current tier. 79
• Machinery Energy Circuits — Parallel Source Energy and Spirit Energy circuits used by Mechanists to improve how effectively machinery receives Machinery Energy amplification. 135

Major Influences

• The descent of the Heavenly Realm increases the effectiveness of Spirit Energy-based weapons, skills, Gene Traits, and Specialties by roughly 50%–100%. 254
• Spellcasters gain the most immediate benefit from the Heavenly Realm's early effects, though Mechanists and Martial Artists later develop their own methods of exploiting it. 258
• The Gaia native gods possess spiritual auras with frequencies resembling both Holy Liquid and Machine Souls, suggesting a connection between their nature, Spirit Energy, and machinery. 288
• Spirit Core Lifeforms can manipulate powerful Spirit Energy without superpowers; adult Silver Elves can perform feats such as long-range teleportation and recovery from physical destruction. 70
• Jiang Xiao's Universe Originator Human form can convert part of his body into pure Spirit Energy and enter a spirit-body state ranging from nanometer scale to a form capable of enveloping a star. 247
