As Krishak sat cross-legged on his bed that night, memories of his previous life surfaced in his mind.
Earth's ranking system-F-Rank to SSS-Rank-was simple and crude compared to the cultivation path of the greater cosmos.
In the Heavenly Universe, cultivators advanced through twenty-nine major realms. Each realm represented a qualitative transformation, with lifespans and power increasing dramatically at every step.

In his previous life, Anil had reached the Realm of Space-Time, the absolute peak known to the cosmos.
Among all Celestials, he stood at the summit.
Yet even after attaining this unimaginable level, he was unable to create a universe.
That was why he developed the Primordial Origin Art and the Universe Origin Body Art.
Talent Grades
Cultivators were born with different levels of innate talent.
1. Weak
2. Low
3. Medium

17. Highest
Anil estimated that his previous talent was initially Chaos Grade, but after millions of years of tempering and rebirth, his soul had likely reached the elusive Highest Grade.
Krishak had stood at the very peak of the twenty-ninth realm.
In the Heavenly Universe, there were only a handful of beings who could compare to him.
And yet, despite reaching such heights, he still had not achieved his ultimate dream.
That was why he had chosen to start over.
In this new life, he would walk the path once again.
But this time, he would not cultivate solely for strength.
He would cultivate to protect the family he loved, to bring peace to Earth, and one day to create a universe where all beings could live in equality.
Krishak opened his eyes and looked out at the moonlit sky.
A faint smile appeared on his small face.
"From this day onward," he whispered, " "I begin anew."
