Chapter 210
High above Africa, Alex sat in the jet, immersed in the intricacies of his next stages of cultivation. As he focused, Cognichip's display flickered into view, presenting a systematic breakdown of the six stages necessary to cultivate his astral sphere into a perfected sun. Each phase would bring him closer to the full realization of his soul's potential, forging his inner sun layer by layer.
The first words appeared on the screen in a subtle blue hue, detailing the entire path forward.

Sunfire Cultivation Stages:
1. Ignition Core
Description: "The preliminary stage. Ignite the astral sphere with a steady, contained flame. This will form the initial core of the sun, stabilizing energy flow."
This stage, Alex knew, was the Sunfire he was currently cultivating—establishing the controlled foundation that would allow him to channel cosmic energy effectively.
2. Fusion Phase
Description: "Replicate solar fusion at a foundational level. This phase strengthens the core and allows the astral sphere to generate heat and light more effectively, consolidating Sunfire into a denser source of soul power."
Alex read the details, intrigued. "Fusion... so it's about compounding the energy, building it into a self-sustaining power source?"
The words blinked back in response. "Correct. Fusion requires matrix calibration to achieve stability and prevent dissipation."
3. Solar Surface
Description: "Manifest the surface layer. This stage involves creating an external sheath around the core, giving form to your astral sphere. The surface will radiate energy outward, simulating the sun's brilliance."
He nodded, envisioning this energy "surface" that would envelop the inner sun, creating the outer shell that would help store and control the energy contained within.
4. Radiance Expansion
Description: "The astral sphere must now expand to intensify energy output. Focus on broadening the reach of Sunfire, creating stronger, more intense soul power that radiates beyond the core and surface."
"This sounds like expanding reach," Alex muttered. "Pushing my soul power to flow more dynamically."
"Precisely. Radiance enhances projection potential," the screen displayed.
5. Solar Flare Formation
Description: "In this stage, focus on generating solar flares. These bursts of energy signify that Sunfire has reached a volatile yet controlled state, capable of releasing energy in pulses or waves as needed."
Alex felt a rush of excitement; he could already imagine using this. Solar flares would give him both defensive and offensive capabilities, a tangible expression of his inner power.
6. Core Stabilization
Description: "The final stage in perfecting the sun. This requires you to stabilize all prior layers into a perfectly harmonized sun structure within the astral sphere. This stage will complete the Perfect Sun formation, resulting in a limitless and steady output of soul power."
Alex took a breath, understanding that each step was a refinement leading to this Perfect Sun—a point where his astral sphere would function as an actual sun, providing an inexhaustible source of power within.

Alex focused back on his current Sunfire stage, the Ignition Core. Each breath he took seemed to fan the flames of this inner core, strengthening his connection to it. His body and mind were beginning to harmonize with the flow of this condensed soul power.
"Cognichip," he said, wanting to probe further, "what is these about the matrixes? Is the analysis complete? How will they factor into each stage?"
Cognichip's screen displayed a prompt before him.
[Matrix analysis in progress. Expect developments in Solar Surface and Radiance Expansion phases. Matrixes will provide structure and control during formation of the Perfect Sun.]
Alex absorbed the information, realizing the role of these matrixes would be crucial in the later stages. Their precise calibration would allow him to manage the sun's layers, creating a balance between the
radiance and containment required to avoid uncontrolled flares or bursts.

He leaned back, closing his eyes and allowing the glow of Sunfire to grow within. The warmth radiated through him as he continued to cultivate, letting the Ignition Core expand steadily. Step by step, he would build this inner sun, a blazing source of power that only he could shape and control.
