John brought his body into his Infinite Maze dimension.

He had his skeletal body sit in a lotus pose across from him.

He had both bodies in deep meditation.

"I must reach the cosmic order!"

You see. John lacked something vital to reaching the cosmic order.

Zero #119 had something called 'plot armor'. It was cultivated as a Paradox.

Paradoxes were meant to do the impossible.

John never read the book 'Paradox'. He had no idea how to get his hands on a copy.

He didn't know where to look for it either.

John lacked plot armor.

He was lucky.

His destiny was eternal.

But that was it.

The universe didn't go out of its way to bend to his will.

In the grand scheme, he was just another person with an eternal destiny.

Zero had personally explored the multiverse and had even met himself and worked with other versions of himself.

John hadn't even reached such a step. Nor did he realize there was such a step to take.

He was alone...

He had those in Deathless.

But they couldn't solve a problem so complex.

"Baby steps."

John wished deeply to surpass himself. But it was becoming harder to progress.

He felt he had reached a bottleneck.

He would have to do something insane to break through.

He put the plan on creating his own concept to the side.

Firstly he needed to understand destiny.

He lacked an understanding currently on exactly what it is.

This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

All he knew about it was that his own destiny was Eternal.

As for what was above that? He had no idea.

He didn't even know what was below it.

So he sent out a mission to all those in Deathless.

"Search for things relating to destiny."

"Destiny?"

None of the members of Deathless had any idea what exactly it was he was looking for. John couldn't help here either as even he didn't know!

He was hoping something would bite.

He tried asking Gaia about it.

But the door refused to be opened now.

It would seem Gaia didn't like him messing with the 'formation' of his sea of consciousness.

John didn't know that the place he was in was the controller of multiple multiverses. If he did know, he would of went an entirely different route. Brute forcing himself to become stronger.

But he had no idea.

John lacked information.

He would need to resolve this immediately. He couldn't think of any good ways to acquire information. He then thought of his friend Yuanle.

He visited him.

It turned out that he did know a thing or two about destiny.

Yuanle explained the basics of it to John.

Normal Destiny.

Extraordinary Destiny.

Flawless Destiny.

Perfect Destiny.

Eternal Destiny.

Paradoxical Destiny.

Complete Destiny.

Yuanle only knew about Destiny due to him exploring the dream realm.

He only knew the first seven levels. As for what was beyond that? He had no idea.

John's interest was piqued.

So he connected his consciousness to the body he had in the cultivator world. That body had become a spirit severing cultivator. But that seemed to be the limit now.

John didn't care too much about losing this body now. So he had it enter the dream realm using a different form of astral stone.

The dream realm was surprisingly less stable then the chaos realm!

To explore the chaos realm. One needed a long lifespan.

To explore the dream realm. One needed luck!

John found that his body had transformed into a troll...

He continued to walk.

He then found out he had become a sheep.

Then a bat.

Then a rat.

He was also constantly perceiving different scenery as his surroundings kept constantly changing.

John talked about this with Yuanle. All he got was laughter.

"You entered with a body? You'll need to explore it as a true immortal. A body of laws is required to ward off the contamination of the dreams."

"I see."

He teleported his body out of the dream realm using his skeletal body in the Infinite Maze.

But he frowned seeing the outcome.

The body was stuck as a rat...

It didn't regain its former form.

Even the nascent soul had vanished.

"The dream realm is quite a bit more dangerous then the chaos realm..."

Yuanle gave some advice.

"Expect the unexpected in there. An ant can become a rank 7 being overnight due to random contamination. While a god can become a mortal just as easily. You have resistance as a true immortal now. Otherwise, don't even dream of exploring such a realm."

"Since I have a body made from laws. I should be fine right?"

"Probably..."

"What do you mean?"

"Some contamination can even effect the body of laws! People aren't meant to live in the dream realm. It is safest just to use your spiritual sense alone to explore it. That is what I do. As for stepping foot in it? I don't dare. But you have multiple bodies. You can afford to lose this one..."

John was a bit confused.

"You almost sent me to my death! I value this body a lot. It was a pain in the ass to open the door to immortality. It was also a pain to get a body of laws. Yet I almost was fooled by you to take my body into the dream realm!"

"Hey! Big risk, big reward. If your looking to quickly get power. The dream realm is the key. It just has extreme risk. Big risk, big reward. We are cultivators! What's to fear?"

"I see..."

John decided to take his true immortal body into the dream realm!

"Big risk... big reward."
