A scale is used to differentiate transcendents based on their aether. This scale is not human made. The difference when going up each class is something everyone feels."

  He nodded. If he comes across another race, he can tell what level they are at and then plan accordingly.

  "The scale differentiate transcendents into 6 classes. They are-

  Novices

  Seniors

  Elders

  Monarchs

  Supreme Beings

  and Absolute Beings"

  He suddenly felt the urge to kneel when he heard the last class.

  He was shocked.

  The feeling of submission he felt wasn't superficial at all. He actually had the urge to kneel just by hearing their class!

  He looked at her, waiting for her to explain this strange phenomenon.

  He was sure she can read his mind. He even suspected she was one of those top level beings.

  She ofcourse knew what he was thinking.

  "Absolute beings are what you would call gods in your world. They are the peak of existence. Kneeling when hearing their name is nothing surprising." she explained.

  'So she CAN read my mind. Hmmm, so absolute beings are the gods here, and what would you do in front of a god? Kneel ofcourse!'

  "No one is safe near an Absolute Being. One mistake and you are in for a very painful future."

  "Some Absolute beings have lived for so long and become so strong, even other Absolute beings arent safe either."

  He was surprised. A god so high that even other gods were not safe just by being in their presence!?

  She didn't paid any mind to his thoughts and countinued explaining.

  "Each class except Absolute has three sub classes. Beginner, intermediate and Peak."

  "When someone becomes a transcendent, they gain a Nature. Their Nature is simply what they are. If someone likes to play in water, they will gain a Nature related to that. If someone loved being a doctor, their Nature will be related to being a doctor. Like healing or cutting up someone."

  "To advance your sub class and your class, you have to revel in your nature. You have to keep using the ability provided by your nature, even invent a new one. The more you use it, the more it will advance."

  'So if someone had a Nature related to killing, does that mean they had to kill a lot of people to advance?' He wondered.

  'The nature of the original soul of my body must have something like this.'

  "But for advancing from a supreme to an Absolute, your Nature gives you a ritual. The ritual is incredibly difficult. And lot of times, you dont even get a ritual since you didn't revel in your Nature and hastily kept advancing. That's why a lot of high level transcendents are very old

  "If a supreme being had a Nature related to water, then the ritual might be to create a new ocean that can cover the entire world."

  She remembered her own ritual that she did 7 million years ago. It was to manipulate an Absolute to kill his most loved one. Then she had to appear in front that enraged being and tell him she was the one who did it.

  Classes do not differentiate through strength but through the amount of aether. If it did then she wouldn't have survived even a second. She only lived because she became an absolute right when she told him.

  Fortunately for her, that absolute was also newer one so she barely survived. She had lost one of her arms. Thought that absolute kept trying to hunt her until 5 million years ago when she finally killed him and took his arm.
