According to the book's simple introduction, Tier Five, Tier Seven, and Tier Nine are the three most transformative stages for an Extraordinary Being.
After reaching Tier Five, an Extraordinary Being's lifespan is drastically extended, allowing them to break free from the shackles of a mortal lifespan. This is why it's called 'Transcendence.'
After reaching Tier Seven, an Extraordinary Being is no longer confined to their original life form, which is why it's called 'Ascension.'
