Spiritual Energy (SP): (Also called soul energy or qi) A form of dark energy. For information on dark energy, please visit the Wikipedia page or relevant sources. A person can cultivate spiritual energy, with the efficiency of cultivation directly proportional to the Foundation Establishment level of said person.

Coversion from SP to Joules:

Assume that Arnold consumes 100 SP per day from the Level 3 zombie core within him. Therefore, there is a total of 36,500 SP within a Level 3 zombie core.

Consequently, there is 100 SP within a Level 5 core, 3000 SP within a Level 4 core, and 365,000 SP within a Level 2 core respectively.

A normal teenager consumes approximately 3000 kcal per day. 3000 kcal = 12.552 MJ = 12552 kJ.

Therefore, 100 SP = 12552 kJ. Therefore, 1 SP = 125.52 kJ.

Additionally, the power generated by a person is 12552000/(24*60*60) = 145.28 Watts

dark virus: A virus that killed off 99% of the human population in the Age of Apocalypse.

Cultivation levels:

Foundation Establishment: From levels 1 to 10, with 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest. The foundation of a person is established from birth due to each individual's genes. The more a person's gene synchronizes with spiritual energy, the higher the foundation establishment. Additionally, one can increase their foundation establishment level through gene therapy, genetic modification and CRISPR technology.

Qi Gathering Stage: From levels 1 to 10, with 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest. Comes after or during Foundation Establishment. Using cultivation techniques, one can gather spiritual energy into their dantian. The efficiency of the absorption is directly proportional to the level of foundation one has. When the quantity of spiritual energy within one's dantian reached a breaking point, the spiritual energy will increase in quality, causing a biological change within a person. This causes a person's dermis layer to be pigmented with a red ring.

A person with 1 red ring has achieved the 1st level. This is colloquially called the 1st ring.

A person with 2 red ring pigmented on their skill has reached the 2nd ring and so on.

The location of one's rings is completely random within one's body. For example: Arnold's rings are located across his upper back.

Geography of the main base: There is a total of 7 levels within the base, not including the surface. Level 1 is the level closest from the surface while Level 7 is the farthest. The main family (with notable exceptions) of the 7 clans all live in Level 7. Meanwhile, the families of the 49 Families live in Level 6.
