Biodata
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Name | Fourth Order (四階) |
| Classification | Awakener order defined by mastery and application of Rules 1112 1137 |
| Preceded by | Third Order 832 1137 |
| Succeeded by | Fifth Order, defined as the mastery of a large collection of Rules 1112 |
| First Appearance | Chapter 16 16 |
Rank Mechanics
Fourth Order marks the transition from combat based chiefly on Attributes and Spiritual Energy to combat centered on Rules. Before this rank, greater Attributes and Spiritual Energy generally determine strength; at Fourth Order, Rule type and mastery become decisive factors. 1112 1137
| Target | Rule interaction |
|---|---|
| Below Fourth Order | A Fourth Order's Rule has a full, 100% effect. 1137 |
| Fourth Order and above | Rules oppose one another; the final effect depends on each Rule's type and degree of mastery. 1137 |
| Fifth Order | Fifth Order is built from mastering a large number of Rules rather than merely possessing one. 1112 |
A being may possess Fourth Order-level physical strength and Rules without receiving formal System recognition. Lin An reached this state before his official promotion, describing himself as a true Fourth Order in strength but lacking rank recognition. 1285
Advancement Routes
| Route | Method | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Rule Card | Advance through a Card or title-based route. | The most direct and convenient route; the System supplies the relevant power, but future development is comparatively fixed. 1051 1137 |
| Equipment Extraction | Extract an equipment-derived characteristic into a Rule. | The Corpse Emperor's abilities are cited as an example of this route. 1137 |
| Skill Promotion | Elevate a Skill into a Rule. | Produces a strengthened, Rule-level form of the selected Skill. 1137 |
| Talent Promotion | Elevate an Awakener Talent into a Rule. | The resulting Rule depends on the Talent chosen for promotion. 1137 |
| Self-Mastery | Independently comprehend and materialize a Rule. | Lin An chooses to master Electromagnetic Force through this route. 1137 |
- Human Awakeners can use Cards, while Xenomorphs can use Altars; both are external advancement methods. 1288
- These rapid methods normally require an adaptation period of roughly two months, followed by familiarization with the new Rules. 1288
- Set Equipment can grant enormous Attributes, Skills, survivability, and accelerated Rule mastery, but it supports a Fourth Order rather than making its wearer a genuine Fourth Order by itself. 1321 1322
Rank Bands and Thresholds
| Stage | Documented example | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Pseudo Fourth Order | Lin An's four-dimensional Attributes reach 99 after absorbing Emotion power. 1077 | Grants strength approaching the Fourth Order, but is not a formal advancement. 1077 |
| Initial Fourth Order | Lin An formally enters Fourth Order after leaving an Instance Dungeon. 1311 1312 | His Electromagnetic Rule undergoes an exponential increase in scale and power. 1312 |
| Fourth Order Peak | Lin An breaks through 1,000 Willpower points. 1445 | His power rises by more than a hundredfold compared with his initial Fourth Order state. 1445 |
| Pseudo Fifth Order | Lin An's Fourth Order Peak state approaches the next qualitative threshold. 1445 | His consciousness struggles to control his greatly strengthened body. 1445 |
Rule Applications
Electromagnetic Force
Lin An selects Electromagnetic Force as his self-mastered Rule and demonstrates its qualitative growth upon formally becoming Fourth Order. 1137 1312
- Accelerates Lin An to approximately Mach 3.4. 1312
- Manipulates electromagnetic fields and substantially enhances physical force. 1312
- Enables flight through magnetic fields. 1312
- Expands Spiritual Energy perception across hundreds of kilometers. 1312
- Later allows magnetic-field acceleration beyond ten times the speed of sound. 1311
Physical Body System
A Physical Body System Fourth Order achieves power by absorbing immense amounts of energy and continually strengthening the body. 1583
- Possesses extreme vitality and direct, overwhelming martial power. 1583
- Can originate from an inherently powerful body, acquired means, or Talent. 1583
- Requires further energy consumption to advance toward Fifth Order. 1583
- Has poor adaptability and fewer specialized combat options than other systems. 1583
Known Fourth Orders
- Lin An — Formally advances with the Electromagnetic Rule and later reaches Fourth Order Peak. 1311 1312 1445
- Zhang Tie — Advances alongside Lin An and joins him in confronting the Xenomorphs. 1311
- Tyre — Advances through a Card during the defense of Dragon An's line. 1544
- Colonel Ron — Breaks through to Fourth Order during an extended Instance Dungeon mission. 1522
- Wang Wei — Claims divine status while concealing a Fourth Order Card in his chest. 1612
Limitations
- Fourth Order combatants can overwhelmingly annihilate lower-ranked forces; Rule Power turns most Second and Third Orders into ineffective cannon fodder. 1736
- A single hostile Fourth Order can destroy a Safe Zone defense line and kill veteran Awakener squads within seconds. 1734
- Fourth Order Peak Awakeners remain vulnerable in Fifth Order conflicts, where they may be treated as expendable assets or targets for Points. 1641 1642
- At Fifth Order, even powerful Fourth Order Set Equipment is regarded as basic equipment: it cannot raise Attributes beyond 1,000 or amplify Rules. 1665
