Past this point, you do not need to read any chapter IN Auxiliary. I give no reason to read except the first two, unless you wanna study further in the novel and have me accidentally geek out on Science and math lmao.
Zarathushtra Empire - The Zarathushtra Empire is the largest Empire, For reference, the planet is primarily 2 times larger than Earth, but farther away (About 1.54 AU (Astronomical Units) If you wanna look it up go ahead), Basically really far, the Star it orbits is larger too, Anyways, back, the Zarathushtra's Landmass covers enough space to be about All of Europe (Including Russia) + Asia and Africa combined. At the same time, some land within is separated for separationists who genuinely want to go off, the Empire, ruled by the Empress who is named 'Vera Zarathushtra', is the primary and only ever Empress of the Empire, having ruled it without fail for years upon end.
Desolate Plains - As you've seen in Chapters 24 to 25, the Desolate Plains is an empty, barren wasteland, with no life, except for extremophiles (creatures that can survive temperatures equal to those on early Earth). And bacteria. Along with that, the Desolate Plains is an immense landmass near the Equator of the planet.
Ataraxia Empire - WIP
Lucenor - In the world Kaida stays in, this means 'World of Light' generally befitting the planet, Another reason is because the plants and creatures, almost all of them, excluding humans (Or what Kaida calls humans, since no other name she's been told) and a few different species are still able to photosynthesis even when being able to eat and hold a digestive system, while it's odd, the world hasn't discovered for what reason they can. Thus, basing the name on an old story passed down and still witnessed of animals that rely on photosynthesis during the day, and eat food at night.
Impure Qi - This Qi is less refined, less precise, and more blocky, holding back everyone with this Qi, which is why filtration happens during Core Formation. The body automatically begins to do so because the Core, now, can differentiate it. Impure Qi, while still strong, keeps a person bound to the planet they live on. Those with Impure Qi are also limited to what their mind can conceive, along with strong rules and a limitation on Qi regeneration. Impure Qi is akin to muddy water; while it is useful, it's challenging to move around in. Sluggish and draining.
Pure Qi - Pure Qi, like distilled, clean water, one which people could drink, is what comes for Core Formation and the realms beyond it, until one. Pure Qi flows easily and generally acts like the air one breathes; it reaches far beyond what people expect and can be used for both helping and hurting. On the other hand, Pure Qi can finally manifest in mystical abilities; instead of relying on a logical system, it depends on the foundation of logic itself, the reason such a system exists. In which the first Question was asked, and led to the creation of logic.
