The hierarchy of cosmos realms after tempering through reincarnation could roughly be divided into:
The lowest tier: Ten-Thousandth Cosmos Fragments.
The moment a core shattered into tens of thousands of fragments, most of those pieces had already lost all the power of their cosmos origin. They retained only brute force slightly stronger than that of Supreme Rank lifeforms, barely clinging to existence within the cracks of space-time.
Low-tier Thousandth Cosmos Fragments.
They could wield a portion of the laws of a cosmos, with combat power far surpassing the Supreme Rank—roughly equivalent to an ordinary Peerless Rank, though still slightly inferior to beings like the Abyss Lord.
However, each use of those laws overdrew their origin. Once used too often, they would fall into a deadly cycle of "splitting → weakening → splitting," eventually shattering into even more fragments.
Mid-tier Hundredth Cosmos Fragments.
A one-percent fragment was already a colossal entity capable of stirring the galaxy. Every one of them stood at the pinnacle of cosmic combat power, able to effortlessly annihilate an entire star field or travel through Cosmos Tunnels to other cosmoses.
For instance, Wei was one of those one-percent fragments. He no longer needed to pay a price to employ many unimaginable methods.
Above that were high-tier Tenth Cosmos Fragments and the pinnacle: Cosmos Cores.
In a sense, Tenth Cosmos Fragments were even stronger than Cosmos Cores.
Because they had not escaped the Shackles of rules and still had to abide by the limitations of the cosmos they inhabited, they could act as they pleased within those rules.
Cosmos Cores, on the other hand, stood on equal footing with their own cosmos. The slightest overstep would trigger a fierce backlash from the cosmos they resided in.
At the same time, Cosmos Cores devoted most of their energy to
