In this step, we will be cultivating your 'energy'.

You already know by now the reason why you rotate the technique. It is to build up 'mental energy' to power your eternal consciousness.

But this technique hasn't really discussed the various functions of this energy or the real name of this energy.

There are four states to this energy.

Just like how water can have different names depending on its state. The same is true for 'mental energy'.

I want you to look at your visualization technique. Look at all 2500 dimensions. Before, you would've never been able to find where it stores energy.

But now that you have done:

God's Death

Now that you have experienced the process of extreme sanity. You can track your visualization technique just like how you tracked nonexistence in the past.

You are now able to see what I call the 'energy field'.

This is like your sea of consciousness. But it actually exist on the mystic level.

Right now, unless you are extremely lucky and talented. You should see a small amount of gas. This gas is the fuel for creating 'mental energy'.

This step is about cultivating your energy field.

There are four states:

Mental Force

Mystic Force

Transcendent Force

Entangled Force

Right now... you are simply using the most basic and weakest mental force. This is powered by mental energy.

So how do you upgrade your energy field?

Don't try to run before you can crawl.

Instead, you should focus on improving the 'fuel' state. We are finally getting back to the important parts of this technique.

You meditate and focus on your energy field. You then condense your mental force.

You do this until it becomes a liquid.

The first three states of energy decay and transform into their weaker version. So if you have transcendent energy. It will slowly decay and transform into mystic energy.

If you have mystic energy. It will slowly decay and turn into mental energy.

If you have mental energy. It will slowly decay and turn into physical energy.

You only escape this decay when you have transformed your energy field fuel into an entangled state.

You can think of it like this:

Mental Energy - Gas

Mystic Energy - Liquid

Transcendent Energy - Solid

Entangled Energy - Degenerate Matter

It is possible to cultivate up to the transcendent through accumulation over time. As for reaching the legendary entangled force? That requires exponentially more time than transcendent.

So why should you care about any of this? Well... this is the form of cultivation for hidden existences. Now that you have unlocked access to your energy field.

You can create a 'shuttle'.

You have probably wondered why you haven't run into other hidden existences besides other versions of yourself?

That is because this entire time, you have been isolated.

WIthout a shuttle.

You can't explore the ethereal dimension. Otherwise known as the mystic realm.

So this chapter, we will be building your shuttle.

You must first decide a form for this 'shuttle'.

Think about travel in the physical world. Walking cannot compete with running. But running cannot compete with driving.

The same is true for your 'shuttle'. There isn't exactly 'distance' in the mystic realm. The concept of space is whacky and confusing. Why is this?

Because eldritch entities don't look at spacetime the same way humans do. Despite being a hidden existence, you still have the perspective of a human.

You are still thinking like a mortal.

This hasn't been an issue when dealing with alternate versions of yourself. You have been playing the game on easy this entire time.

That won't fly when dealing with beings in the mystic realm.

Horrors and supreme beings beyond comprehension roam this realm.

There are three main reasons why.

1.) There are no hidden rules in it.

2.) It isn't attached to any universe.

3.) It is a great place to trade.

The mystic realm is more like the internet for hidden existences. A wealth of knowledge can be found and sold within it. But there are dark sides to it.

Thanks to your artifact in your paradise. You can revive yourself in your origin universe. This means you can directly take your avatar and protect it with your shuttle, traveling into the mystic realm.

You already have a brand on the nonexistence in your origin universe. That is your homebase.

But reaching the ethereal dimension isn't something you can just do on a whim. It isn't as simple as building a bicycle. Making your shuttle is more like building a rocket.

Think about space in reality.

It is easy to walk on the surface of the planet. It is more challenging to fly. But to leave the atmosphere... building a rocket and a spacecraft and launching it into space.

This requires a massive amount of resources and knowledge.

There are actually some similarities with space and the mystic realm. The 'shuttle' often looks like a star. The form won't look like a rocket.

But just like a star does nuclear fusion.

You will have to perform a reaction as well.

Design the shuttle as if you were designing a shield for yourself. Because that is essentially the main purpose of it. It is supposed to protect you against malicious entities, provide a disguise so others won't recognize your avatar, as well help you navigate something confusing to mortals.

You will need spend resources from your energy field.

Just like how you built your 'source castle' from resources in your dream. You must become proficient at manipulating your energy field.

Your energy field is like the fuel tank. Your visualization technique is like the generator. Your consciousness is like the engine. The different types of energy serve as the fuel for your existence.

Transforming one mortal to the extreme sanity state took a majority of the energy you have saved up.

You don't have anywhere close to enough to make any meaningful progress.
