——Humans have long held the key to the Sixth Echelon, but everyone fights their own battles, each claims to be king, and thus no one has unified the key to open that door.

Infinite energy is indeed important, but in the end, it's merely fusion material! Without the resilient body of the material world as the foundation of a realm, and a strong enough soul to condense its own Domain of Void, one cannot step into the Sixth Echelon!
Those of the Fifth Energy Level seem to have reached the pinnacle of strength, but most have mastered just two of the 'techniques', 'body', or 'energy'. The strongest among them, Axel, has grasped three, yet the mysteries of the soul remain elusive to them.
In contrast, the Ashen King, due to innate talents and proximity to the Realm of Light, has mastered 'technique' and 'soul', thus forging a unique 'Flame Reincarnation'.
