Terminology and Legends

A Transcendent is the Spark Federation's collective term for humans who wield supernatural entities or phenomena known as Legends. Other Federations use different names; Blue Star calls them Legend Walkers. 3 88

Legends encompass virtually any imaginable supernatural element, including creatures, locations, objects, and phenomena. Their origin and time of birth are unknown. 3

• Every Legend wielder awakens a personal information panel. 3
• A Transcendent's abilities, combat style, and advancement requirements depend on their individual Legend. 3 10
• Wielding too many different Legends without sufficient strength can erode the wielder's mind. 3
• Different wielders of the same Legend may awaken substantially different abilities, particularly after reaching Third Rank. 93

Legend Degree

Legend Degree measures a wielder's progress with a Legend. It is chiefly increased by eliminating wild Legends; the greater a Transcendent's contribution to the battle, the larger their share of the resulting Legend Degree. 12

For a newly commanded Legend, advancement from 0% to 99% follows the “3:6:12” pattern when hunting similarly ranked Legends alone:

Legend Degree Range	Similar-tier Legends Required	Result
0%–33%	3	Reaches First Rank Mid-stage
33%–66%	6	Reaches First Rank Upper-stage
66%–99%	12	Approaches the next advancement threshold

Legend Degree gained from weaker opponents falls sharply after a rank promotion, making continued advancement increasingly difficult. 120

Acquiring Additional Legends

• A slain Legend has roughly a 30% chance of leaving behind a Legend Husk, one of the principal means of harnessing an additional Legend. 439
• Killing a Transcendent can produce a Legend Remnant Shell, which may contain a plunderable Legend. 64
• Some organizations refine defeated Legends into Evil Pills to accelerate Legend Degree growth, though repeated use reduces a wielder's potential cap. 66

Power Progression

Transcendents advance through ranked tiers by raising their Legend Degree and completing Legend-specific Ascension Rituals. Major rank promotions require rituals, making intelligence on a Legend's conditions highly valuable. 10

Stage / Realm / Level	Chapter	Notes
First Rank	10	The entry-level ranked stage, with Lower, Mid, and Upper positions documented. A basic Legend such as Fighter establishes the standard for a Lower First Rank Transcendent.
Second Rank	86	Spark Realm Transcendents who reach this rank are forcibly granted a Level-2 Skynet account.
Third Rank	58 93 96	Formally recognized as senior Transcendents internationally. Every promotion grants a domain-related ability; domains may emphasize prolonged augmentation or a decisive termination effect. Individual ability branches become highly distinct at this stage.
Fourth Rank	92 125	Fourth-Rank Transcendents are rare and powerful enough to affect regional balances of power. Advancement conditions are harsh, and major factions may devote extensive resources to cultivating them.
Fifth Rank	125 252 281	Ascension Ritual instructions become exceptionally vague and individual-specific. Promotion can transform a Transcendent's domain. The Lord's Cross can temporarily bypass this ritual, though the ritual must still be completed before advancing further.
Sixth Rank	257 263	Considered the realm of gods. Domain range expands dramatically beyond the roughly ten-kilometer limit associated with Fifth-Rank Transcendents.
Seventh Rank	263	Regarded as a legendary, unconfirmed threshold; historical gods who approached it are said to have failed.

Capabilities and Combat

Legend-Derived Abilities

A Transcendent's powers are determined by the Legend or Legends they command. These may include elemental control, transformations, healing, mental interference, physical reinforcement, perception, summoning, or other specialized effects. 3 205

• Combat strength is not determined by rank alone; ability compatibility, preparation, defenses, and surprise attacks can decide a battle. 52
• A Transcendent may command several Legends, though most ordinary Third-Rank wielders can only sustain roughly three or four. 120
• High-rank abilities are gained less frequently, but generally possess greater power than low-rank abilities. 106

Domains

Domains become a defining feature of Third-Rank and higher Transcendents. 58 96

• Augmentation-type domains strengthen the wielder's base capabilities and are suited to sustained combat. 96
• Termination-type domains produce decisive effects when ended, prioritizing sudden bursts of power or battlefield control. 96
• Ending a domain can impose significant cooldowns; Lin Yue's termination ability, for example, prevents her from manifesting another domain for half an hour. 98
• Fifth-Rank advancement can transform a domain, while Sixth-Rank domains can expand across vastly greater areas. 252 263

Organizations and Society

Spark Federation

The term Transcendent is used collectively in the Spark Federation, where Legend holders can receive official information through the Legend Skynet and access a Transcendent-exclusive forum. 3

• Second-Rank Transcendents receive Level-2 Skynet accounts. 86
• Fourth-Rank Transcendents can authenticate official titles, receive annual remuneration, and gain special Skynet purchasing privileges, including direct spatial delivery of Federation-provided goods. 134 157
• Official titles help authorities manage powerful Transcendents and identify individuals capable of influencing the balance between factions. 157

Blue Star Federation

Blue Star uses the title Legend Walker rather than Transcendent. Legends descended there only a few years before Chen Xi's arrival, leaving its overall high-rank population comparatively limited. 88
