Technical specifications, character loadouts, and the thermodynamic physics behind Austin's stellar fusion core.
A 15-year veteran commercial framing superintendent who transmigrated into the body of an abandoned outer disciple. Completely convinced he is alpha-testing an unoptimized indie sandbox survival game with bad netcode, he treats divine tribulations as faulty high-voltage wiring and immortal sect elders as misconfigured NPC vendors.
Austin's loyal English bulldog. Officially designated as the Sunset Peak Safety Director. Emits low-frequency grunts when ungrounded spiritual formations violate the Universal Building Code. Revered by visiting Daoist Masters as the 'Subjugating Earth Dragon of the Void'.
Originally an outer disciple forging low-grade spiritual knives. Converted into Austin's chief structural steel fabricator after discovering that standardized I-beams and proper weld bevels are infinitely stronger than mystical spiritual enchantment.
| Orthodox Realm | Lifespan | Austin's Stellar Tier | Thermodynamic Phenomenon |
|---|---|---|---|
| Qi Condensation (Stages 1–9) | 100 years | Plasma Spark (Lv. 1–10) | Stable 10,000 K plasma arc in dantian. Negates kinetic blade shock; ambient static discharge. |
| Foundation Establishment | 250 years | White Dwarf Core (Lv. 11–25) | Extreme gravitational density. Punches deliver megajoule kinetic shockwaves that pulverize bedrock. |
| Golden Core (Early to Peak) | 500 years | Main Sequence Sol (Lv. 26–45) | Thermonuclear hydrogen-helium fusion. Core temperature exceeds 15,000,000 K. Midnight turns into localized noon. |
| Nascent Soul | 1,500 years | Binary Star System (Lv. 46–65) | Tidal gravitational locking; orbital solar flare lances; absorbs hostile spirit attacks as raw reactor fuel. |
| Soul Formation / Void Refinement | 3,000 years | Solar System Engine (Lv. 66–80) | Micro-planetary bodies orbit within dantian; localized gravity lensing; orbital kinetic bombardment defense. |
| Tribulation Crossing | 5,000 years | Supernova Chamber (Lv. 81–95) | Converts heavenly lightning into heavy metal nucleosynthesis (gold, tungsten, titanium); produces focused gamma bursts. |
| True Immortal / Sovereign | Eternal | Cosmic Singularity (Lv. 96–100+) | Event horizon dantian. Space-time dilation. Enforces the Universal Building Code across entire dimensional planes. |
All spiritual lightning arrays and sword qi formations must be grounded via certified 4-gauge copper rod driven minimum 8 feet into bedrock. Failure to ground results in catastrophic back-EMF.
Any defensive moat, sect foundation ditch, or spirit mine trench deeper than 5 feet requires approved timber or steel shoring. Flying sword parries are no substitute for hydraulic trench jacks.
Rotational kinetic energy from an ignited thermonuclear core requires minimum 1,500 lbs of certified counter-ballast to prevent spontaneous planetary orbital wobble during manual excavation.
