Negative source would no longer weaken John! But it could weaken his enemies...

It was as if a tornado formed around John as aura began to be sucked into his body.

He looked at his appearance. He still looked like an old man.

Thanks to his body tempering. He had managed to survive even when his age became 186. This step would've killed him otherwise and ruined the process to becoming rank 2.

He was in a very good mood.

Now he could kill himself and return back to his youth.

But he also felt like attacking rank 3! He was timeless even now. But his age was paused at 186.

John held his true existence in his hand. It looked nothing like the weak flame it was before. It was multilayered and looked rather mysterious.

He jumped into the green pool of source next.

"Let's do this!"

John began to design the mechanics for his true existence. One thing he needed was to properly set the config for his energy duplication.

The first layer wrapped around his true existence was made from soul essence. The second layer while being labeled the 2nd layer. It would be the outermost layer.

So this left a special sphere. You had the essence of soul rotate clockwise. You then had the 2nd layer which was on the outside rotate counterclockwise.

These two actions are what duplicated the energy between them.

So the third layer would be between the first and second layer. This may seem unintuitive.

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.

For example, the 5th layer would also be between the first and second layer.

As John had read before.

"It's all in the spin."

Just like how a generator uses mechanical motion to produce electricity.

To understand John's options. You must understand that his path was unique and one no other had walked. He was designing a path from scratch.

The third layer had begun to form.

John's power was based on ideas and the element used.

Since his first layer was made of soul. It allowed him to use soul mimic. Since the second layer was made of negative source. It allowed him to be immune to its effects and restrict supernatural power in his domain.

So what type of talent would he get as rank 3? Nothing was random in his system. He designed clearly what he was looking for.

"Stamina and energy can be a problem. If I'm able to draw energy from my environment..."

To not have to rely on death to refresh his energy. That could be quite valuable.

His rank 3 talent was called 'Lifesteal'.

It allowed him to tap into the nearby lifeforce of nature. It could also steal energy from the enemy.

But because of designing the ability this way, he soon ran into a few problems.

Not only was the pool of energy not enough.

The amount needed was far more then a 5,000 kilograms.

The limiting resource were runic rings. John had stolen quite a few while working on the trial. Who would have thought such a tiny random thing would be the key to him walking his own path.

Soon the green pool was empty. John had completely returned to his youth. His third layer was only at about 10%.

It'll only take a few cycles to be full.

Think about it this way. The other sources were surrounded by the first and second layer. Due to these two layers rotating.

Upon a single rotation... The energy would be duplicated.

So... although he couldn't fill it up at the moment. In a few days the layer would finish itself. John needed to carry out a ritual for the third layer.

He needed no ritual for rank 1.

He needed to experience being powerless for rank 2.

So what would he need to do for rank 3? He needed to allow himself to become one with lifeforce. Basically, he needed to surround himself in nature.

He needed to grasp feeling the life force.

He got in one of his ships and traveled to a part of the world not smothered in robots and scraps.

The entire planet had been terraformed besides the ocean. No matter where he looked. Everything had been transformed into resources for him to use.

Nature itself was pretty much wiped out.

So John put on his battle suit and teleported to the planet full of cerebium. He then got in the spaceship he had left there and began to explore the solar system.

While he was flying a laser shot his ship somehow. All systems began to fail and he had to make an emergency landing.

Something weird happened. The planet he made an emergency landing on looked desolate and empty. It didn't look like it could support life at all.

But as he got closer he flew through a hologram. There was actually a hidden civilization here!

John had memories of every race from when he was a concept. But he had no recollection of this race. He used his A.I chip to tap into the technology. The data was in a language he didn't understand!

"To have hidden from a concept and a rank 9. This race is to not be underestimated!"

John had millions of different languages stored in his database. It took him a few minutes to understand this language despite having no records on it.

John's ship didn't crash.

A special net wrapped around it and gently brought it to the ground.

John opened up the control room and looked at the aliens.

Or in this case, he was the alien...
