The ascension screen is accessed by the Legacy button, which is under the Info button. If you reach a certain number of cookies, you can ascend and reset your progress in the main game.
Depending on how many cookies you have baked, you will earn Heavenly Chips and Prestige Levels when ascending (at a 1:1 ratio). Heavenly Chips are used in the Ascension screen to purchase Heavenly Upgrades, which are permanent throughout ascensions and provide various benefits. Each Prestige Level provides a permanent +1% CpS, although the power of your Prestige must first be unlocked in each playthrough by purchasing certain upgrades. Each prestige level follows a specific cubic pattern, with Prestige Level 1 needing 1 trillion cookies (1³ x 1 trillion), Prestige Level 2 needing 8 trillion (2³ x 1 trillion) and so on.
The number beside the 'Legacy' button shows how many Heavenly Chips and Prestige Levels you will earn upon ascending. There are many Achievements associated with ascension. See below for a full list. Also, the Ascension screen allows you to access Challenge Mode. Upon resetting, you will also hear a heavenly sound effect.
Upgrade Tree
These are the heavenly upgrades you can buy. The upgrades you buy here will never be deleted (unless you wipe your save or use Cheating).
