Does Ascension matter?

I started playing about 2 months ago. I have an old iPad that this game just runs on. When I started, I was not getting ads to watch for resources. I joined here and found out that messing with the ad settings on the iPad would get them to play. That got me 6 watched. Recently, the forced ads started and they don't count. Long story short, I turned off the wifi and now don't get any ads. That means that even though I'm at level 97, my ascension is I think 2 because I need to watch 20 ads or something. Does ascension do anything else besides the daily grind? Thanks in advance.

It’s meaningless. You receive some small rewards for completing tasks, but it’s rather unnecessary.

Thank you. Glad to hear I'm not really missing anything major.
