"You don't know?" Lyra asked, her frown deepening before her expression softened as she recalled Max's origin from the Lower Domain.
Realizing he might genuinely be unaware of something so fundamental, she slowly nodded and began to explain. "The Divine Path Lotus is a mystical phenomenon that every expert naturally awakens upon stepping into the Master Rank. It's not something one trains or forcibly summons. When someone truly enters this realm, the world itself resonates with their breakthrough, and in response, a lotus blooms behind them—glowing, ethereal, and unique to their potential. The number of petals that bloom represents their innate path, their talent, and how far they can go in their journey toward divinity."
