Resource Plane
If they chose this option, their world would never participate in the wars of the Transcendence.
Their planet would remain protected from direct destruction.
But the protection came with a horrifying price.
Their world would become a subordinate plane.
Or more bluntly—
A slave plane.
Other participating worlds would be allowed to purchase resources from their planet.
Anything.
Metals.
Buildings.
Animals.
Plants.
Even humans above the age of twenty-five.
These purchases would be mandatory.
No refusal allowed.
Those taken would be branded with a Divine Obedience Mark, forcing them to obey every command from their new masters.
The payment for these transactions would go to the entity that created the system itself.
An existence known as—
The Transcendence.
The Transcendence
The information continued flowing into their minds.
The Transcendence was not a god.
Nor was it a civilization.
It was something stranger.
A chaotic entity born within the Boundless Ocean of Planes.
Long ago, fragments of countless destroyed worlds drifted through the infinite void.
During a rare convergence, three newly born Plane Cores, enormous quantities of shattered world fragments, and a mysterious treasure fused together.
From that union, a chaotic gem was formed.
Within that gem awakened a faint consciousness.
That consciousness became known as—
The Transcendence.
Its only purpose was endless evolution.
To achieve that goal, it created a brutal system.
Worlds would compete.
Fight.
Conquer.
Evolve.
Or be destroyed.
This became known as the Transcendence War.
Planes capable of participating would face countless trials, battles, and wars determined by a cosmic roulette.
Most battles occurred between worlds of the same tier.
But sometimes—
Very rarely—
A lower world could be matched against a far stronger one.
The probability was only 0.047%.
Yet it still happened.
And when it did, weaker worlds were often erased completely.
