Let's begin!
So the book starts off with John Destinatus. A scientist studying immortality. He traveled through the entire world looking for strangeness; He did find it. He studied creatures with unique characteristics. There were three main creatures. One was deathless, another immortal, and another could teleport. He studied their DNA and physical characteristics. But found no real reason for their abilities. He was at the end of his lifespan and was quite obsessed. He had a seizure while doing a task and wakes up with an ability of his own.
After awaking from his coma. He found that he had gained the ability to see soul! He used this ability to manipulate his own soul. He had noticed that the creatures abilities were related to the shape of their soul. So he began modify his... But even though his soul became abnormal. He was unable to use the powers of those special creatures.
So he did something a little insane. He figured he might as well go out with a bang. He collided his soul with the soul of the creature that could teleport. A wormhole formed killing him and destroying his lab. His soul also took on characteristics of the wormhole and bounced around the universe for millions of years.
He didn't have a brain or anything to carry his consciousness. So he remained unaware during the entire duration of his 'journey'.
When he woke up. He had stolen the body of an unfortunate person who had been poisoned to death. He inherited enough memories to understand the language and know his situation slightly. He should've also died. The body was a corpse after all.
But something interesting happened. The abilities that he had copied in his last life... the ones that were inactive and dormant. They had become active! The poison was expelled and the corpse came back to life. (End of Prologue) (Start Chapter 1).
John first checked his ability to see soul. He no longer had it. He couldn't see his soul any longer. The name of the body was 'Xian'. His father was the patriarch of the clan. He was disciplined for not recognizing his father as his teacher first. He was then re-educated to prepare for exams later. He spent three months learning how to read and write.
During this time. He had been experimenting with his immortality. It turns out he may have actually had unlocked it in his last life. It was just 'inactive'. It was more complicated then a simple on/off state. He could compartmentalize it. Choosing where and when to heal. He was testing out his limits. For example. He did an experiment by putting his blood into a vial and tested whether he would revive from it if his body died.
He could feel a deep connection with the vials. Unfortunately... rebels attacked and massacred his family and entire clan. He didn't manage to escape and died as well. He used one of the vials he had beforehand stored away as a sort of phylactery to revive at.
He went through a few hardships trying to leave the city and eventually succeeded. He then got lost in the wilderness for months, without access to clean water. With hardly any food. He continued to travel the wild.
After months of running and no sleep. He finally found a village and collapsed. (End of Chapter 1) (Start Chapter 2).
After a night of sleep. His mental energy was fully recovered. He pretended to be a normal person that managed to escape a catastrophe. He purposefully didn't recover his body in an instant. After a few weeks, he recovered naturally. He had been saved by the village doctor. He was quite happy to be around people again after being alone in the wilderness for so long. One day, he saw people practicing martial arts in a field. He was naturally curious.
He figured since he was immortal. He would experience a lack of freedom in the future if he lacked the strength to protect his secret. So he began to practice their techniques. It was a 'skin refinement technique'. He joined the children and elderly in practicing martial arts. He learned there were various stages to martial arts here. You had skin refinement -> blood refinement -> skeletal refinement -> organ tempering -> energy drawing.
Although these stages could be done in any order.
Skin refinement was quite common. Skeletal refinement was rare. Organ tempering was epic. Then energy drawing was legendary. He learned from Hao some stories from his childhood. Legends of 'cultivators'. Beings that could part the ocean, and split mountains. John didn't rule these as mere stories as he had seen the supernatural himself in his own world.
John's current control at the moment meant that his progress was reset when he revived. He found this out by leaving some blood in the village and allowing himself to get eaten by wild animals. When he revived, all of his progress was reset. But he found something interesting from his experiments. His immortality wasn't static. Since he was able to choose where he revived at in relation to his remains... He wondered if he could control his death through his will.
He was successful in his test. His deathless ability allowed him to move his awareness between bodies. He had pinched his fingers and made another body. The intelligence faded from his eyes. He could switch back and forth. His ability was evolving.
This made him wonder if he could find a way to keep his progress in martial arts? He moved on to other test. Like trying to split his awareness completely. He found out he could control both bodies at once. But it initially overwhelmed his senses. The main issue at this stage of John's development was his mental energy reserves. He found that having each body sleep at alternating times resolved this. So he had a main body he used in the village and a body he kept in the wilderness.
Seeing the success of his experiments. He tried other things, but failed. For example, he tried to will a body into existence without an anchor like his blood. But this didn't work. He then focused on skin refinement. There were a few levels to it. You had leather -> mud -> iron. And the legendary diamond.
He trained in some unique ways and reached the legendary level of skin refinement. He had boiled himself in oil and used his immortality to heal himself. He persevered despite the pain. He tried to ask his teacher about blood refinement. But he couldn't reveal his quick progress in skin refinement. So he had to wait some time first.
After five years. He learned the methods of blood refinement. He spent three decades refining drops of blood. His 'main body' in the village grew old and died eventually. He had purposefully controlled his immortality to allow this to happen.
During these years. He learned some unique techniques made by himself. There was a legendary state called 'blood reversal' that he wanted to reach, but had failed. Although, he could make his blood grow restless and cause himself to explode. This could prove to be useful in the future. He called this move 'Blood Explosion'.
This wasn't all he learned over these decades. He had become numb to the sensory overload. He could now control multiple bodies as easily as breathing.
He ditched his identity as Xian and became 'John Destinatus' once again. He spent a century in the wilderness. He would study the world for eternity. That was his state of mind. He wanted to watch the world enter an advanced state of technology.
He had successfully reached blood reversal state after a century. So he could now control his blood when it was outside of his body. He then worked on skeletal refinement. He planned to reach the legendary stage in that as well. Just like how he had done it for skin refinement and blood refinement.
From all of these years with his immortality. He no longer had to worry about losing progress upon reviving. His control over his body was slowly becoming more and more perfect. He snuck into a town and got around security. Stole some clothes and money. He was attacked in an alley. But he easily handled the situation.
He did do some drug testing to make some money. He decided to join a sect to learn the secrets of skeletal refinement. He could make himself an old man quite easily. So he gathered information and then became a youth.
He successfully joined the sect. But found he needed points to learn the techniques. They weren't free. So he did some task. Well, specifically, he fought with a person for points and ended up learning the techniques free of charge.
The stages of skeletal refinement go copper -> jade -> iron. There was also the legendary fairy bones. He even learned some information about energy drawing.
John decided to do experiments once again. He grafted a bone from a corpse of someone that had iron level bones. He was able to see the systems of his body after this. His skin, blood, muscles, and organs became as easily to manipulate as his breathing.
John felt he had time to reach the legendary realm for every aspect of martial arts. So that is exactly what he planned.
He allowed his body again to age normally. He became an elder of the sect. His bones did reach the fairy level after years of practice. he had reached the legendary realm in skin refinement, blood refinement, and skeletal refinement.
So began his organ tempering practice. Within three decades he reached the 'calcification' stage. He decided to live a leisurely life as a normal person. Within a century he had reached the fusion realm of organ tempering. Something never before seen, something of legends.
Now.... he just needed to reach energy drawing. Five centuries later as he was repeatedly drowning underneath a glacier. He was able to shatter it using Qi.
He had done it! He had successfully reached the legendary stage for every stratum of martial arts of this world. He had pushed himself to the top.
John then remembered the stories of cultivators. He wanted to look for a fairy fate. (End of Chapter 2) (Start Chapter 3).
Those centuries John spent alone in the wilderness may have affected his temperament. But civilization had changed now. Martial arts were a lost tradition and guns had become the main way to protect yourself.
Organ tempering? Energy drawing? Skeletal refinement? All of these things had became a dusty legend. A story to tell kids at bedtime. But John was a living legend because of this. One that was hidden from others. As he didn't tell others his secret.
A new government had taken over and history had begun to become documented. It was the year 132 of their calendar. John was shocked at the changes around him. He remained the same, but everything had changed. He then soon realized he was unable to read the current language.
John had no money, no connections, and no idea what to do. But he was excited! Why? He just thought things were finally getting interesting. He had lived his years with immortality isolated and alone. He had spent so much time focusing on improving his martial arts. Now he was feeling slightly 'free'.
He asked around for work and eventually became a handyman. He worked for a decade, which to him passed very quickly. He didn't really have living expenses... he didn't need a place to sleep. After a decade he had saved over twenty thousand dollars. He bought a 'haunted' house and also learned the language during this time.
But there was a problem. John lacked an identity! He wasn't born in this era. He lacked a birth certificate. He had a fake identity made through the black market. But under scrutiny, this type of identity could easily be exposed to be fake. But he had come up with a great plan.
The plan was called 'Operation Phoenix'. He needed to do a few test to see if this was even possible. But he planned to give birth to himself. Using his ability to control multiple bodies to cultivate a body in this era. That way, he would have a true identity in this world.
He could then follow this pattern and not have to worry about his immortality being leaked. He would have an identity no matter the era of this world.
He named his son 'Puppa' standing for puppet. He planned to name his grandsons after himself. 'John Destinatus'. Then continue that pattern.
The family tree might look a bit weird. But it wasn't uncommon to name one another after their father/grandfather.
He did feel some sadness when his wife died. He also lived an ordinary life and was soon on his death bed surrounded by friends and family.
John had integrated perfectly into this society. Soon inventions he was familiar with began to pop up. Things were becoming more advanced.
One day... something interesting happened. A mysterious door appeared in the middle of the street. He ignored it initially and came to check it out using his 'father' body. He was eaten by the door. Even with his body refinement. He was crushed into paste.
But he was immortal! He survived and found himself in a desert.
Meanwhile. His other body was grieving with his mother about their irresponsible father who 'thought they were immortal' with their actions. (End of Chapter 3) (Start Chapter 4).
If you are interested in seeing the details of the trial... well, you've already read about this trial. A lot of this will be skipped in this summary.
Essentially. The space John found himself in was constructed by a 'supreme being'. Spoilers here. This entity was only a rank 7. He had built this space to find himself a new body. There were various test for those that found themselves in this space. John passed them all.
But something interesting happened when John should've been possessed. John soul should've shattered, but it was seemingly unbreakable! He was still losing control of his body to this entity though. But the entity made a mistake. It tried soul searching him.
John's soul looked like a blackhole. The entity's consciousness was sucked in. John had a single consciousness. This was a bit too much. Millions of years of memories overloaded his mind. He entered a coma in both worlds.
Even his son's body was affected.
Although from managing his immortality all these years and operation phoenix. He had developed layers to his personality. So as the supreme beings existence eroded his consciousness. It stripped him of these layers.
By the time it reached the core of his personality. He opened his eyes in his sea of consciousness. He was almost wiped out! But he survived...
He still had the ring he had gotten as a 'reward' for completing the trial. This was actually the key to controlling the pocket dimension he found himself in.
He found out he could control this pocket dimension like transportation and explore the universe. (End of Chapter 4) (Start Chapter 5).
He looked at different screens... various dimensions and the distance he was from them. There was a major problem. The soul he consumed was the energy source of this pocket dimension. He was running low on energy. The dimension was falling apart.
He eventually crashed into a world... his 'transportation' popped like a bubble. The ring protected him as he was like a meteorite falling into this cultivation world.
He ran into a foundation establishment cultivator and got the shit beat out of him. He won in the end only thanks to having been an energy drawing expert. He was very close to losing.
He took the clothes of his defeated foe. And the bag on them.
John then noticed something weird. His other body in that other world where he remained in a coma... Something had stabbed him.
He focused on this body and opened his eyes. He was surrounded by corpses that had been stabbed similarly to him.
There was some weird creature staring at him. It looked like a witch doctor. He began to fight it, but it took no knockback and seemed to have no weaknesses.
While fighting. The building he was in exploded and he flew out of the window. As he fell he saw the entire city covered in fire.
He tried to escape this hell like scene. But he was soon surrounded by these creatures. He fortunately used the move he had developed many years ago.
'Blood Explosion'.
He waited for them to grow bored with his remains before reviving himself from the scraps.
He then discovered that these creatures came from a portal. He created some spare bodies as a distraction and decided to check it out himself. He had no fears! He was immortal...
John had entered the chaos realm! He soon found himself rapidly aging. Luckily, he could control his age. So he entered a constant state of flux...
He ran into some sort of eldritch entity though and hardly escaped. He had to use a ritual buried deep within the memories of the supreme being he had consumed to survive.
Because that entity was capable of messing with his soul! Even his immortality couldn't save him. Luckily he had gone through that trial earlier and was prepared for such a situation.
As his comprehension of the chaos realm changed. So did it... It became a chaotic space full of doors. One opened and he was sucked in. (End of Chapter 5) (Start Chapter 6).
Things have gotten a little weird now. His body that was in the chaos realm has been infected. He shifted into those weird creatures he had seen when he was woken up from his coma.
He now had a very unique body. No brain, no organs, no blood. He found it quite novel. His body was made from energy. His immortality in this body was also behaving differently.
He also did feel something trying to control him. Some sort of command center for these creatures. But his willpower had been honed over centuries. Such weak commands had no effect on him.
He warped his appearance... he looked like a lich instead of those weird bird like creatures. He then ran into some knights, which confirmed that this was indeed a different world to him.
He had hidden his face... but one of the knights thought they were being helpful by removing his disguise. So he ended up being exposed as a skeleton...
He killed them all...
Now we continue with the body in the cultivation world. Puppa did the same thing he has done in the past in this new world. He did 'operation phoenix'.
Now things get interesting. With John's skeletal body... He finds a cave to seal himself in and begins to explore the memories of that supreme being.
Years later... a kid named Leo finds him and thinks he is some sort of death god. John almost kills the kid but then realizes his mental state isn't right. He uses the kid as a lab rat for exploring a magic system the supreme being had used in his life.
Leo becomes his servant. (End of Chapter 6) (Start of Chapter 7).
This chapter mainly explores the rules behind the magic system John is using. If you are interested in more information. You can check out the chapter in 'Immortal'. A lot of this will be skipped.
John gives Leo a weak as hell visualization technique called 'Baneful Tranquility'. He himself uses a much stronger 'Absolute Generation'.
This chapter goes into a lot of detail on exactly how this magic system works. It should be noted that there are multiple magic systems in this book. This is a mental magic system John chose as the others seemed not as useful for the current him. (End of Chapter 7) (Start Chapter 8).
We then get the village getting attacked arc... Where John uses a few spells to scare off a lot of enemies. He becomes a sort of legend.
The thing important about this chapter is the fact that magic doesn't exist in this world. The powerful people in this world (Well, powerful in the sense that they are rich). They crave John's power.
John becomes a legend thanks to his magic. (End of Chapter 7) (Start Chapter 8)
John becomes the origin of magic for this world. As Leo follows him for years... John also develops his own spells. Such as spells that could help him conjure food and so on.
John reaches the legendary 'stage 7' of the mental magic system he uses.
He can now cast legendary spells.
One such spell he uses called 'Undead Transformation'. This spell is explained in detail in the chapter.
This keeps Leo alive for many years. But Leo decides to leave John around the time he was 116 years old. He decides to teach others magic.
Now we focus back on his body in the cultivation world.
He struggled to find a way to get into a sect. Eventually after many years, he becomes a servant and gets his spiritual roots tested. He has none!
But that is fine. Now he has his foot in the door. He does more operation phoenix until he gets a body that does have spiritual roots.
His body in the 'magic world' now... portals have opened up again after so many years. He figures it is time to leave. (End of Chapter 8&9) (Start Chapter 10)
John explores the chaos realm with his skeletal body. He uses a tier 3 flight spell, so it has become much easier to navigate.
He also sees traces of the road built in the chaos realm in 'Time Walker'.
He fights that entity that tried to mess with his soul before. He still isn't strong enough to beat it.
You see. He has a tier five spell called teleport.
He wonders what will happen if he uses it in this realm. So he does.
Something quite interesting happens. Read the chapter if you haven't!
He eventually finds a throne that allows him to explore the multiverse! In his excitement... like an idiot he stands up from the throne and gets stranded in space.
He teleports for years in a direction until he finds a planet. This world he finds himself in has people that awaken powers. There is a class system to it.
He starts a company in this world and researches what the cause of the ability users power was in this world. His goal is to be able to open a portal to the chaos realm. Without needing to wait centuries for a random chance for it to appear in his world.
His research is eventually successful.
He enters the chaos realm again and does more test. He then runs into an inheritance.
It should be noted that John's Destiny is currently at the 'eternal' level.
John finds out about world wills quite weirdly by being a bit unhinged in a new world (World wills make it so he is punished for using his magic in a world incompatible with it). (Stop Chapter 10) (Start Chapter 11).
In this chapter he develops 'Reckless Abandon'. it was a tier 4 spell. As for what it did? It converted the body into energy like the blueprint he had made when he was initially contaminated by the chaos realm. It would then ignite the body and vaporize it completely leaving no traces.
This was mainly to prevent an existence from tracing back his soul through his body parts/fluids.
One of his bodies in the cultivation world has finally been born with spiritual roots as well. (End of Chapter 11) (Start Chapter 12).
John becomes an outer sect disciple in his sect where he had been a servant. A lot of cultivation explaination in this chapter.
He finds out he has a space element spiritual root as well. (End of Chapter 12) (Start Chapter 13).
More cultivation explanation. He had to hide his training. He awakened his spiritual roots by using his teleportation spell. (End of Chapter 13) (Start of Chapter 14).
So begins the inheritance arc. A lot of his relationships and how he lived life in the sect is explained in this chapter. (End of Chapter 14) (Start of Chapter 15).
John beats everyone to the entrance of the inheritance. He slows down his perception of time as he searches the soul of the door and figures out the password. (End of Chapter 15) (Start Chapter 16).
John finds himself in a white space.
I quite like this chapter. So I recommend checking it out. Basically, the real person that set up the inheritance can see through the origin of John.
But it is just an artificial intelligence left behind for himself.
John makes a friend here when the guy actually shows up.
He drinks some special tea and instantly breaks into the peak of qi condensation. He finds it a shame that he will not be able to carry this cultivation in his main body. As he is currently using a throw away body.
His new friend asks him about his 'dao'. He figures that his current goal is to not be surpressed by world wills. Yuanle doesn't know a solution to his problem as he doesn't explore other worlds very often.
John explains his worry about his soul being eternal but that he can still be sealed. Yuanle relates as he was once sealed for 10,000 years.
So he tells John about a special technique.
John looks at the technique in the form of a scroll. He is shocked by the complexity of it. Yuanle didn't factor in that John doesn't have a system.
John thinks it'll take decades to understand the technique.
So allow me to explain this technique. It involves the otz room. From the understanding of Yuanle: "Your soul actually exist in two places at once, well for you, it is more. An ordinary person would have it above their head. While it also exist in a separate dimension. This dimension was created by an overgod. It houses all souls. Your soul simultaneously exist in both places."
The technique he provdies is able to make it so you can house your soul in your own dimension instead of in the otz room.
John realizes a key point from this. His soul exist above every connection he has thanks to his immortality. This leaves himself a huge weakness. If an entity is able to trace back his soul, they could trap him using his connections.
Luckily, he has already developed 'Reckless Abandon'. So he is able to get rid of some old connections.
Yuanle imprints the technique 'Soul Domain' in the consciousness of John since it is too complex for him to understand.
John asks for some help regarding spiritual roots. He is told to figure it out himself and is ejected from the realm. The body he was using is torn apart by the astral. (End Chapter 16) (Start Chapter 17).
John had used a throw away body. He was among the few people that survived looking for the inheritance.
John tries to spend his time studying 'Soul Domain' in his sea of consciousness. But a nascent soul expert in charge of task finds him and tells him he needs to contribute to the sect. Their are barely any outersect disciples left. So John has to spend his time traveling around and recruiting people for the sect.
This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.
It only took visiting 26 towns to recruit over a 100 new disciples. It took around 5 months.
John became the 'big brother' of the outersect thanks his efforts.
His spiritual roots were still low, so cultivation was slow. He did have the blueprint in his mind though of a body at the peak of Qi Condensation. He just didn't dare use it to skip levels.
A decade went by quite quickly.
He unblocked the meridians in his lungs and held a banquet to celebrate. (End Chapter 17) (Start Chapter 18)
The process for breaking through to foundation establishment is explained in this chapter.
John decides to form a perfect pillar. He will need to survive nine strikes from the world will. There is something important in this chapter.
Once someone becomes Qi Condensation. They get something called a 'body sense'. The ability to see their dantians and meridians. When going through the process of building a foundation. Two important things happen.
1.) Your body sense evolves.
2.) You develop a cultivation consciousness.
Your body sense evolving makes it so you can project your vision outside of your body.
Your cultivation consciousness is a 'soul field'. It is like a separate consciousness. It allows you to multitask. This isn't too important a function to John. But matters regarding the soul interest him greatly. It is also important later for later stages of cultivation.
There is also another important point in this chapter. Due to the heavenly tribulation. The current John won't be able to have multiple bodies at the level of foundation establsihment. As he gains a spiritual sense and soul field after being baptized by the world through this trial.
So he could have more. But he would need to have the other bodies go through a tribulation first. (Stop Chapter 18) (Start Chapter 19)
This chapter is mainly John testing his current limits and abilities.
Here are the test he did:
1.) Creating a foundation establishment body from scratch.
He found out... while possible. It lacks the main perks of this level. It is hollow. Lacking both a spiritual sense and soul field.
2.) Emptiness...
John also found out that his immortality was incapable of generating Qi. As the new body he made had its meridians empty.
3.) Spiritual Sense.
Almost 360 degree of vision with a radius of 10 meters.
4.) Soul field.
He found out his soul field was firmly tied to this particular body. He wasn't able to transfer it to another one.
5.) Combat.
Now things are getting interesting. John found out that Qi is quite explosive. He could now punch with 1000 tons of force. A normal cultivator would shatter their bones from such a feat. But John's bones were fairy grade.
The benefits of his past martial arts are starting to accumulate.
He spars against himself a bit and is quite satisfied with his increase in strength.
6.) Concealment.
John's cultivation is already concealed thanks to his perfect dao pillar. This chapter explains the mechanics behind how people are able to tell someone's cultivation level through their spiritual sense.
John keeps his meridians empty and appears as a complete mortal. (Stop Chapter 19) (Start Chapter 20)
During the decade John had been cultivating. He had also been studying 'soul domain'.
This is the chapter John also came up with the idea of building his own inheritance to 'discover'.
John has something others often lack. He has time! He plans to study the four disciplines. Spiritual root grade doesn't matter when calculating talent of these things.
John had a goal to work towards. That goal was manipulating his soul.
But he would need to reach nascent soul or become a true immortal. He figured it would take over a century to just reach core formation.
John begins to form a plan for moving his soul. (Stop Chapter 20) (Start Chapter 21)
This is the formations arc. If you are interested in knowing what John learnt and how formations work. You should read the chapter! xD.
John does pull off some insane feats in this chapter. Not fighting feats though... He easily memorized over 12 million lines of logic.
Thanks to the soul field. John has enhanced photographic memory. Most cultivators actually have this thanks to their soul field. (Stop Chapter 21) (Start Chapter 22)
More formation information in this chapter.
You also learn about the immortal grade materials here. Those are xylo, fotia, gi, metallo, and nerono.
I personally find this chapter to be on the side of the more interesting ones. So if you are curious, go check it out! (Stop Chapter 22) (Start Chapter 23)
In this chapter John develops his 'signature'. Which is basically an encryption for formations.
Runic Vision is also explained in this chapter.
The teacher also tells them they will need to make a database from scratch. John fails at first due to his database restarting after the teacher uses it.
John then passes to the surprise of everyone on the second attempt.
The teacher then realizes that he forgot to teach the key part needed for passing this test and was baffled that John was able to understand the nonsense.
It would seem John is quite talented in Formations! (Stop Chapter 23) (Start Chapter 24)
John displays his ability to search through the runic library.
The teacher soon thinks he is some reincarnation of a formations grandmaster. But John tells him he is not.
The teacher decides to retire and let John take over the class.
John worked on his forbiddden dao pillars during the time he taught. He was even invited to work on a formation for the sect.
He continued to teach for the next decade and also worked on his forbidden dao pillar during this time.
What is a forbidden dao pillar? It is a dao pillar in the upper dantian. It is used for creating and modifying formations. You have to inscribe the entire runic library over it. By this point in the book... John has inscribed millions of lines of code onto it. (Stop Chapter 24) (Start Chapter 25)
By now. John had completed his forbidden dao pillar and even started to study ancient formations. He is quite well respected in the sect. Since he is a formations master. He is even given some special privileges.
He no longer needed his admin ring.
Even still. John had hidden his real skills.
It was now time for him to build his magic inheritance;
This was a fake inheritance that he would encounter that would explain his future growth.
He built a lab under the sect and used his knowledge of formations and magic to build a 'anti space stabilizer'. He was successful in his attempt to make his own pocket dimension. (Stop Chapter 25)(Start Chapter 26)
This chapter is mainly John working on his pocket dimension. An interesting fact here is that it is revealed that John can now control his body on the microscopic level. Even in an environment without oxygen... he is able to create oxygen for his blood cells and remain conscious.
There were a few problems he needed to deal with. But he resolved them.
He also begins to work on 'artificial spiritual roots'. To speed up his cultivation. (Stop Chapter 26)(Start Chapter 27).
The artificial spiritual roots are a success. He is able to cultivate at an insane speed. Soon he attacks core formation.
He survives the tribulation. His soul field has now begun to develop a mental body. His spiritual sense has also expanded to a 100 meters.
John now faces a problem. The techniques for nascent soul aren't available to him. He would need to reveal his cultivation.
Now begins the construction of his fake inheritance! (Stop Chapter 27)(Start Chapter 28)
He constructed eight trials for his inheritance. If you are curious about the test. Read the chapter.
It was now time for the trial!(Stop Chapter 28)(Start Chapter 29)
John does the trial and 'inherits' it.
"I HAVE BECOME A FORMATIONS GOD!"
Everyone sees that he is the one to succeed. Now his cultivation has an explanation and can be revealed.
The patriarch summarizes his journey with this body as well. I'll include the summary:
"John Destinatus. Born in a mortal family with low grade space spiritual roots. You survived a previous hunt for the inheritance of a true immortals inheritance. You were chosen to be in charge of a recruitment campaign and in the end recruited over a hundred disciples for the outer sect. You spent over two decades in the outer sect building a foundation. Once becoming a foundation establishment cultivator, you stopped progressing and focused all of your attention on formations. After a few days of learning, you found out you were a genius in formations and became a teacher. You taught over 200 students over more then a decade. During your vacation time, you became an operator for the sects main formation, and presented many original ideas."
"You are 42 years old and were originally at the early stage of foundation establishment. But in your second hunt for a true immortals inheritance, you successfully passed all the trials and tribulations."
"After passing the trials, you were bestowed a curse over your soul made by the original creator of the inheritance. This gave you a one time boost that instantly shattered your limits, pushing you to core formation!"
John decides to 'share' what he learned in the inheritance. (Stop Chapter 29)(Start Chapter 30)
John shares his magic system with the sect.
He also reveals his 'god' level ability in formations and his inventions.
He became extremely famous.
John felt like his cultivation had hit a bottleneck. His teacher, the patriarch asked him to go to the Havoc Sea. A place full of inheritances.
This place was an ancient battlefield... the formations used various different versions of the runic library. They believed with John's ability as a formation cracker. He would be able to break down some of them. (Stop Chapter 30) (Start Chapter 31)
John uses runic vision and can see thousands of programs. He was actually able to crack them! Nobody else in the world had reached his level regarding knowledge of formations.
John learns a special technique from the first inheritance he cracks. It is called 'Devil Transformation'. It multiplies strength, speed, and reaction by a hundred times.
In another inheritance he gets a special nascent soul raising method.
The sect was unfortunately attacked. But John had a formation that boosted his power. The reason the sect was attacked was due to the wealth John had brought back after cracking over a thousand ancient inheritances.
He finally forms his nascent soul! (Stop Chapter 31)(Start Chapter 32)
Now soul domain is explained. It has three main functions.
Soul vision.
Soul localizer.
Soul Blend.
Soul vision allowed John to finally see soul.
Soul localizer allowed John to grasp his soul in his hand.
Soul blend allowed John to infuse the soul into an environment.
John goes to his lab and infuses his eyes with spiritual energy. He is able to see a separate dimension. The Otz Room!
Now John plans to meet his other body. His skeletal body that he left on the throne.
During all these years. That body hadn't simply been inactive. He had been looking for this particular world in the multiverse!
His skeletal body on a golden throne appeared in his pocket dimension! He had been controlling his other ontologies this entire time...
He felt he now had two sets of consciousness. One from his evolved soul field. That was his nascent soul. Then another was his original consciousness.
He used soul vision to trace back his soul. He saw a blackhole in the otz room. He then used localizer to grasp his soul in his hand.
John put his cultivator bodies hands on his skeletal body and was teleported away by it. Billions of light years away...
John carefully held his soul in his hand as he was in space. Thanks to being a nascent soul. The environment didn't matter too much.
Now John is about to do something interesting.
He wasn't simply making a pocket dimension, no. He was making his own universe!
He stripped himself of his comprehension of time and made it in a material for his universe. He then inscribed his unique runic library on it. He was making the most complex program he had ever written in his entire life.
This contained the rules of his universe. He would be the administrator of it.
He would be at a higher level then even that.
John didn't plan to stop there. He was using his very soul itself as the foundation of the universe.
He hardly survives the big bang of his universe. The golden thrones energy source fuses with his skeletal body. Laws of time and space flow into John.
This gave John some unique abilities.
John also had constructed a separate dimension in his universe. 'Infinite Maze'.
John walked through reality with his soul and appeared in a space with an infinite maze. He then fused his soul with it, making it become the entire maze! His soul had became part of this dimension.
At the center of this maze was a blackhole.
What was this thing? It was a phantom soul! His soul could now create fake phantom souls that kept all his abilities. Not only was his soul eternal, unbreakable, and immortal.
John had created a network of souls. Instead of splitting his focus across connections. Each connection had its own soul!
The phantom souls couldn't even be traced back to him! He no longer needed to worry about getting sealed.
He also gained a new ability. He could form a new body through soul manipulation alone. He didn't need an anchor besides a phantom soul. (Stop Chapter 32) (Start Chapter 33)
How his consciousness works is heavily explained in this chapter.
John is no longer under stress for controlling multiple bodies. He can disconnect his private consciousness from his bodies whenever he wants. This has opened up a lot of processing power for him.
He disconnected all the mortal bodies from his private consciousness. He would have them act independently from now on.
He felt great relief from this.
In this chapter he begins to think about what he really wants.
This is where 'surpassing himself' becomes his main goal.
His ability has heavily evolved up to this point. But why stop there? This is merely his foundation! (Stop Chapter 33) (Start Chapter 34)
In this chapter he experiments heavily with his new powers. He also discovers his soul can gain a native soul attribute if he goes through reincarnation through the world will.
He also develops a disguise for his soul.
John also can do something better then reckless abandon. He can have the body sucked into the soul and have it dissipate.
He now plans to try reincarnating! (Stop Chapter 34) (Start Chapter 35)
He creates a soul, sends it to his universe to form a nascent soul and spiritual sense. Disguises it and brings it to a wizard world. Allows it to die and then go through the afterlife of the world.
In the past... without a brain. John had been incapable of thought. This had changed when he had a skeletal body made from energy. But his soul in the afterlife should've had no brain to carry his consciousness. But his nascent soul allowed him to remain aware!
It is in this chapter that he finds out that memory manipulation will only affect his public consciousness for that phantom soul. His private consciousness will remain untouched.
John takes some trials in this chapter and passes them all.
This body is reborn as a baby!
Unfortunately, he was born in the slums. His mother died during birth.
But this was an opportunity for him! He didn't need to pretend.(Stop Chapter 35) (Start Chapter 36)
He naturally rapidly aged until he was an adult.
He gave his brain spiritual roots.
He made his skin diamond grade.
His bones fairy grade.
He became core formation.
He then used magic in a way that shouldn't be allowed. But he had acquired the native attribute to his soul. So he conjured clothes for himself.
He did this using his private consciousness.
He steals someone elses identity and scrambles their memories. He uses a tier 7 spell called 'Immortalize' on them. It made the person immortal but had a limited duration.
This spell is less flexible then you would think. It is absolute rubbish compared to John's immortality.
I found this chapter a little funny. You should check it out! (Stop Chapter 36)(Start Chapter 37)
John has a cool comprehension feat in this chapter where he tricks the aptitude device! I'll include the snippet of it here:
"John instantly calculated his actual talent. It was legendary! The crystal was about to shatter.
But John preferred to remain low key. He didn't wish to draw attention to himself. His fears of being sealed were gone. But he also didn't care about the opinion of others, and it wasn't his style to show off. He wished to hide his actual skills.
So he slowed down his perception of time, since he had sacrificed his comprehension of time to form his universe, it wasn't as good as in the past. He began to change variables in the crystal ball by injecting Qi through his hand from his nascent soul. He directly modified the programming of the device, to make it for this one instance be incorrect!
As a result. Instead of revealing his true aptitude which was peak of 5. He forcefully made it show yellow. He figured an average talent was the most convenient cover. He wouldn't be seen as too important to the academy or as a genius." (Stop Chapter 37) (Start Chapter 38)
In this chapter John's special seal system is discussed. It is called 'The Seven Gates'.
He treated his body as a formation.
He has sealed his strength as he is too powerful. He fights some knights with less then 0.01% of his power and easily wins. (Stop Chapter 38)(Start Chapter 39)
Lol. This chapter Luda305 adds a funny addition to the chapter. This chapter, John mainly learns about the different functions of Ignis Academy (Stop Chapter 39)(Start Chapter 40)
I originally did a poll for how John should act. Most people voted 'low key'. But reading these chapters. He isn't low-key at all! xD. Well, far more so then I had originally planned.
He does a test at the school gym to see how strong he is.
He test his reaction speed casually. Even with his seals; without trying. He scores a 10 ms.
It is in this chapter that John learns that the way magic works in this world is a bit silly. There is a goddess of magic that has tricked everyone.
It is nothing like how his magic works.
His system is a mental system. Their system is environment based. It also relies on another entity... John was quite disappointed in this. (Stop Chapter 40) (Start Chapter 41)
Some more feats for John in this chapter. He reads through an entire book and memorizes it in 30 seconds. His reading speed was at 20,000 WPM.
John plans to read every single book in the library.
Within a month he read over 17,000 books.
After eight months he had read over a 100,000 books.
He didn't stop to eat or sleep this entire time. He wasn't even mentally tired.
John decides to look into potioneering. He also becomes the librarian. (Stop Chapter 41)(Start Chapter 42)
John meets a god here. Her name is 'Mer'.
His private consciousness had disconnected itself. But he still had a nascent soul and powerful computing power. He began to crack the formation of the gods!
He leaves the seal and returns back himself.
His magic medium hadn't been blessed by Mer. It had been blessed by himself! He had left a back door for himself in the magic matrix of this world.
Mer tries to trap John's identity. But ends up trapping Krugal Smite instead. She is greatly confused and mistaken about the situation. (Stop Chapter 42) (Start Chapter 43).
John mainly does potioneering stuff in this chapter. I wouldn't recommend checking this one out, as it isn't too important.
(Stop Chapter 43) (Start Chapter 44).
There is an auction John participates in on this chapter.
He gained data on a rank 1 spell model. But he still planned to make his own.
John also creates another body to experiment with. (Stop Chapter 44) (Start Chapter 45)
John takes the elixir and uses the rank 1 spell model. After he has a blueprint from this, he gets rid of this test body.
John becomes an official magus! (Stop Chapter 45) [END]
Well... I certainly had fun going through the first book and summarizing everything. Even though I had to cut a crap ton of things. I highly recommend reading 'Immortal' if you have not. Because this mega chapter doesn't do it justice in my opinion.
The Writathon is in a day.
I would like to thank you for reading up to this point. You are now officially caught up to the first book. But let us begin the second book.
(Start Prologue)
Operation 'Perfect Magic Core'.
John plans to not follow the rules of this world regarding magic. He plans to hide is progress like he has always done.
John then decides to create an entire magic matrix in his soul.
This is called a 'soulverse'.
A universe in the soul.
This system still lacked energy. Luckily, John was a nascent soul. His consciousness could make Qi which could be converted to mana in the soulverse.
Infinite energy generation. (Stop 2: Prologue) (Start 2: Chapter 1)
John works on a way to conjure magic stones using mental magic. Similar to how he can conjure clothes and food.
(Stop 2: Chapter 1) (Start 2: Chapter 2)
From all the books John had read. He knew about a resource called 'astral' stones. These were different then the ones in the cultivation world.
The astral stones in the cultivation world. While they have the same name... they are used to explore the dream realm versus chaotic space here.
This technology didn't interest John too much though. As his skeletal body had fused with that weird throne. He was able to travel through the multiverse already.
What did interest him was how Mer's magic system, due to its inherent limitations worked in most worlds. This could prove to be useful later.
John found a issue with his magic core. A similar issue to the one he used to have with resetting progress. This led him to thinking about ways to protect his magic core.
Why not store it externally? Instead of internally?
So he moved his magic core into his infinite maze.
John decided to have one body follow the traditional path of this world as a fake cover. Then have another body follow his special system.(Stop 2: Chapter 2)(Start 2: Chapter 3)
John signed the contract with the academy to gain resources to breakthrough.
This was a cover body either way.
In this chapter John also builds a pocket dimension in his soulverse. So he can store and retrieve things. (Stop 2: Chapter 3)(Start 2: Chapter 4)
A battle between the principle and John (Stop 2: Chapter 4)(Start 2: Chapter 5)
Information about the subterranean world in this chapter. John is looking for a way to acquire an astral stone.
John visits the lower levels of this world. (Stop 2: Chapter 5)(Start 2: Chapter 6)
John acquires the astral stone and tries to set some slaves free.
He had bought them with the intention of setting them free. But that doesn't really work out.
He decides to build his own organization using them and his tier seven immortalize spell.
This is the start of his organization 'Deathless'. (Stop 2: Chapter 6)(Start 2: Chapter 7)
In this chapter John gives each member a name and uses immortalize on them. Well, most of them.
A stronghold was also conjured for them.(Stop 2: Chapter 7)(Start 2: Chapter 8)
In this chapter. John makes a 'return ring' that each member of Deathless will have.
This was a combination of a formation and a fake artifact. He had created a phantom soul and fused it with the ring. He could then use his body in the Infinite Maze to use his power to return the user back to the wizard world.
He uses the astral gateway to bring most of them to his universe. He then manipulates their souls. He sealed their souls in a cube in his infinite maze.
He called this cube 'The Deathless Network'.
This cube was connected to a phantom soul with a soulverse. They would be able to tap into this matrix!
The members of Deathless were warlocks though and messing with their souls alerted their bloodline origins.
John was prepared for this though.
John gets into a fight with some rank 7 beings and a rank 8.
He fights them in his universe so that he has an advantage.
He seals the avatar of a rank 8 in the Deathless Network. As an energy generator.
He used 'Dimensional Seal'. A tier 8 spell that he had to stress his source to even cast.
John successfully cleansed the souls of most of everyone in Deathless.
(Stop 2: Chapter 8) (Start 2: Chapter 9)
John had a disagreement with one of the members of Deathless. Who doesn't trust John enough to remove the barrier on his soul.
John decides to teach Death his mental magic system (Stop 2: Chapter 9)(Start 2: Chapter 10)
As John plans to teach Death mental magic. He notices something very bad. The tree in his private consciousness. The thing that allows him to use mental magic. It has cracks in it. Likely from casting that tier 8 spell. When he was only at the legendary stage seven.
In his sea of consciousness. The tree shattered becoming mere fragments and material in his consciousness.
He had lost his spell casting ability!
The original inheritance he had relied on to get to this point was lost...
If this had happened before the cultivation world. He might've been screwed. But the John now was a different beast then in the him in the past.
John began to construct an entirely new source! Using the fragments of the tree and the weird energy from the inheritance in the chaos realm.
He created a blue pyramid covered in millions of runes for his source.
He was now generating 400,000 mental energy everyday!
It greatly surpassed the quality and quantity of his former tree.
Tier 7 was no longer his limit.
He also began to teach Death his mental magic system. He didn't teach the others as they had the magic system of this world to rely on (Stop 2: Chapter 10)(Start 2: Chapter 11)
This chapter talks about the problem of making a magic core for the 19 members of Deathless. So how does John plan to get around this?
Possession! Just like he was possessed initially by a supreme being. He plans to use a similar trick.
Just like how John could cut his connection with his body from his private consciousness. He had similar control over their souls. Using this he was able to possess them and then use the special characteristics of his soul to make changes to their body. (Stop 2: Chapter 11)(Start 2: Chapter 12)
John had Death act as the leader of Deathless. While he controlled it in reality.
An old friend Joined his organization as well.
This chapter explains the process people go through when they join. If they are worthy enough.
(Stop 2: Chapter 12)(Start 2: Chapter 13)
Even John's other body ended up joining the organization eventually. He got to see the process for himself.
John became rank 2.
Also, something interesting is that since John controls the souls of those in Deathless. Even if they truly die... he can bring them back!
The main purpose and reason for Deathless was mainly to acquire knowledge and spell models. John was very satisfied that he went through the trouble of creating it.
During these years. John had allowed Qi to circulate through his body as well. He was no longer a glass canon and could withstand the force he put out. (Stop 2: Chapter 13)(Start 2: Chapter 14)
In this chapter. The person who gave John 'Soul Domain' needs his help.
Yuanle wants John's help with creating his own universe.
John agrees to help as long as he helps him with spirit severing.
John helps him create his own universe and pays off the debt from him gifting him 'soul domain'. He also becomes a spirit severing cultivator here.
John wants to become a true immortal. But he hasn't comprehended any laws. He had used his sliver of comprehension to build his source and universe. (Stop 2: Chapter 13)(Start 2: Chapter 14)
In this chapter he explores the astral with his spiritual sense many times.
This chapter begins the chaos holder arc.
John was quite interested in the power system of this new world. (Stop 2: Chapter 14)(Start 2: Chapter 15)
John figures out how to become a SS class chaos holder (Stop 2: Chapter 15&16)(Start 2: Chapter 17)
John fights an SS class here. (Stop 2: Chapter 17)(Start 2: Chapter 18)
John becomes rank 3 in this chapter using the fight to temper himself. (Stop 2: Chapter 18)(Start 2: Chaper 19)
John fights a god grade that can control time.
In this chapter John discovers that time manipulation is also a weakness of his.
But luckily his private consciousness in his universe is unsynchronized when his time here is manipulated. So he is able to see the manipulation.
John soon found himself fighting multiple god grades.
John fought them for an entire year when counting the time he was in this loop.
Soon it became a decade.
Then a century.
Aion soon ran out of energy and couldn't reset the universe anymore.
John killed most of them and made Aion submit.(Stop 2: Chapter 19)(Start 2: Chapter 20)
Thanks to the century passing for John's private consciousness. He has reached tier 9! In his mental magic system.
Aion tricked John. When John tried to bond with him, he was baptized with the law of time. He finds himself in a white space with no idea who he is. He wonders this space for centuries.
It was here that he developed his first tier 9 spell.
'Time Authority'.
He ends up fully comprehending a law. But it does not fuse with his body.
He finds the path of a true immortal.
It is time for him to become one! He goes to his universe and begins to breakthrough. A door appears in the sky.
While in the door containing a mesh of laws... He breaks through to rank 4 as his body is destroyed and reconstructed.
His gains in this chapter are:
His body was rank 4.
His cultivation was true immortal.
His mental system was tier 9.
He also now had a body of laws. (Stop 2: Chapter 20)(Start 2: Chapter 21)
John now had a point mass, similar to a nascent soul.
Something unique happened. Both power systems fused perfectly.
In this chapter you learn what his 'Time Authority' is capable of.
John still fears rank 9 and the impossible rank 10 existences. He wants to exist independently from his infinite maze somehow. (Stop 2: Chapter 21)(Start 2: Chapter 22)
This is an important chapter. As this is where John starts to come up with the idea of a 'concept' and becoming one.
He struck gold without even realizing his legendary path.
John meets Gaia from 'God's Death' in this chapter. He also learns about the only rank 10 'Zero #119' from 'Time Walker'.
John learns about the cosmic order and wishes to reach it. But he wonders how he would pull something like that off. (Stop 2: Chapter 22)(Start 2: Chapter 23)
John uses members of Deathless to search for 'destiny' so he can understand it. He realizes he is inferior to a Paradox in some aspects.
His friend Yunale explains destiny to him.
John decides to explore the dream realm in the cultivation world.
He realizes that the dream realms contamination is on another level than the chaos realm. (Stop 2: Chapter 23)(Start 2: Chapter 24)
John ends up in a weird time loop in a classroom of the dream realm.
He had 'always' been a part of this class. He tries to modify the reality of the classroom freeing the teacher. But he is reset and still in the class (Stop 2: Chapter 24)(Start 2: Chapter 25)
It turns out John was the teacher the entire time. He was teaching himself! His destiny was no longer eternal... no, it was Paradoxical!
He began to work on his concept. It was five words.
"Beyond"
"Myriad"
"Overflow"
"Create"
"Generator"
'EMFLOWCREAGEN'
This would be the concept he would become.
I recommend reading this chapter if you are curious about 'destiny'. (Stop 2: Chapter 25)(Start 2: Chapter 26)
John visits the abyss here by using a 'banish' spell on himself.
John has a crazy plan here. He plans to make a bomb and cause the collapse of the abyss!
He called this project 'EMFLOWCREAGEN'.
His bomb had four major functions (it was a grand formation):
1.) Detonate the Abyss.
2.) Use the energy to 'throw' his true immortal body beyond the abyss.
3.) Form a protective barrier on his body, hopefully allowing him to survive.
4.) Spread his original concept through this multiverse and hopefully beyond.
(Stop 2: Chapter 26)(Start 2: Chapter 27)
John triggers the apocalypse for multiple worlds thanks to him briefly collapsing the abyss.
He is the Origin of Calamity!
John runs into Somnus and Gaia as he launches through reality. They try to stop him. But things are too unstable.
John had did it! He had created his own concept...
Original Incarnations tried to wipe him out.
His body was erased.
Even his phantom soul was wiped out.
His thoughts slowed down as something scarier then death approached. He saw a light and reached for it possessing the body of an ordinary person.
John at this point has just barely touched the cosmic order.
All sorts of creatures have invaded this world. (Stop 2: Chapter 27)(Start 2: Chapter 28)
This new body John finds himself in is disconnected from his private consciousness. It even lacks a sea of consciousness and his immortal soul.
John has to use formations to cast immortalize on himself. (Stop 2: Chapter 28)(Start Chapter 29)
John regains some of his cultivation in this world. (Stop 2: Chapter 29)(Start 2: Chapter 30)
In this chapter John meets a blue star called 'Emflowcreagen'. He meets his concept. It invades his mind innocently.
John finds out he is in the calamity realm.
He also finds out he is the origin of it all. He is the origin of calamity.
He had full control of this realm after fusing with his concept.
A connection deeper then soul.
He then finds out he can tap into a matrix of infinite versions of himself. He can see versions of himself with a normal destiny. He sifts through the infinite and eventually finds himself (Stop 2: Chapter 30)(Start 2: Chapter 31)
This chapter explains how John was able to possess the normal mans body after getting wiped out.
John gets the 'Curse of Calamity' in this chapter as well. (Stop 2: Chapter 31)(Start 2: Chapter 32)
John had basically constructed his own afterlife and could respawn in the calamity realm.
John could now exist without soul.
He however still had no connection to his skeletal body at the moment. (Stop 2: Chapter 32)(Start 2: Chapter 33)
John has a plan to acquire soul again.
He creates an object that will be an artificial source that'll allow him to reach the afterlife by being a parasite. (Stop 2: Chapter 33&34&35)(Start 2: Chapter 36)
John named the controller of the calamity realm in the infinite layer 'The Original Mind'.
John also tries constructing a soul from scratch in this chapter. It takes millions of attempts. But he does it.
(Stop 2: Chapter 36)(Start 2: Chapter 37)
John has a soul without origin and a body without origin.
He gets a lot of curses and blessings in this chapter.
But then John notices something quite scary. He is suffering from memory loss. He is having trouble recalling some formations. It seems sifting through the infinite for millions of years has consequences! (Stop 2: Chapter 37)(Start 2: Chapter 38)
This is actually an important plot point. John is losing himself and his memories after fusing with the concept. This is quite a serious issue.
John is losing himself...
He tries to destroy himself. But he has made it impossible as he is a concept...
He no longer wished to be a concept. But it was too late.
He even tries using the backlash from going against his curse of calamity. But that doesn't work.
His concept did enter a period of weakness from his attempt though. (Stop 2: Chapter 38)(Start 2: Chapter 39)
John was becoming something he feared. His fate was to become a cold calculating machine. John tries to look for a way to have someone replace him as a concept. (Stop 2: Chapter 39)(Start 2: Chapter 40)
Johns personality was shifting...
His base emotions and desires were fading.
In this world. John acquires a special sword that can even cut soul.
John gets nuked, but sends it to the calamity realm and destroys his concept.
As John was getting destroyed. His willpower was so strong that his intent was sent through time and space.
"John Destinatus was a self claimed scientist studying the mysteries of the universe.
In his world there was something people referred to as strangeness.
This was supernatural power!
It behaved illogically and appeared sporadically.
You see... he had a goal he had been working on for over 60 years.
He wished to become immortal!"
A much younger John had spent 60 years trying to be immortal. He was near the end of his lifespan. His destiny was normal.
He was going to die.
His was obsessed with immortality.
A wave of intent washed over him.
He then had a seizure.
His destiny had changed.
That's right. This is the moment that changed John's destiny to eternal.
John was now in a space of nothingness. There wasn't even an abyss.
John has existed since the beginning of everything.
He finds himself back in the calamity realm. He failed to destroy himself again. (Stop 2: Chapter 40)(Start 2: Chapter 41)
THIS CHAPTER I HIGHLY RECOMMEND READING!!!
John has done it. He had built an artifact in the cosmic order!
His control over the calamity realm has reached perfection. But he isn't exactly who he was before. His thinking isn't human at all.
Most of his life before this has been forgotten. He has mere fragments of memory. The memory loss is still a problem.
He had infinite willpower. Time no longer mattered to him.
John had become a simple program. He had no drive or initiative to do anything.
But somebody read something left in his chip.
"Origin of Calamity. The cursed! Emflowcreagen. I pray for a connection..."
A connection opened up to the calamity realm.
John became aware! (Stop 2: Chapter 41)(Start 2: Chapter 42)
John's presence distorts reality itself. The body he possessed can hardly handle his awareness.
John stepped outside of the soul and body.
He could exist without soul. He could exist without body.
He was existing off sheer willpower alone! (Stop 2: Chapter 42)(Start 2: Chapter 43)
John figures it is time to invade the wizard world and get his powers back (Stop 2: Chapter 43)(Start 2: Chapter 44)
He invades the wizard world and finds himself. He explains how his memory has been tampered with.
