After making sure Invulnis was on the proper path. John began to focus on designing the fifth layer of his global existence.

He already had a pool full of yellow source.

The characteristic of yellow source was stability.

The element was earth.

John was trying to balance his abilities. So the talent he designed was the opposite of his last talent. He wished to have a balance.

What is the opposite of destruction?

His ability 'destruction' could ignite a persons existence into flames and eat all traces of them. It could destroy almost anything.

The ability he created for his fifth layer was called 'creation'.

What exactly did this ability do? It allowed him to bring things into existence.

He has had this ability already. The clothes he was wearing right now were created from his global existence. To be able to recreate the body from scratch. To not be able to create something as simple as clothes would be silly.

He could transform his energy into physical matter.

Think back to when he used to be able to conjure strongholds and clothes.

With this ability. He could wave his hands and transform nothingness into a substance. He could conjure clothes, buildings, food. You name it... he could create it.

The power obviously came from somewhere. He didn't have unlimited ability to conjure infinite structures. Each thing he created would eat a bit of yellow source.

But the rotation of his negative source and soul essence could generate more yellow source. So he in fact had infinite energy with a bottleneck.

He walked into the yellow source pool and held out his hands.

A phantom of his global existence appeared in his hands. There was a special ritual he needed to carry out to reach rank 5 in his special progression system.

He needed to cover the fifth layer in runes. He had to recreate the conditions of his mental magic system.

He opened up the seals for perception briefly as he inscribed the proper runes.

He then sealed his power again.

Becoming rank 5 did nothing at all for improving his body. The only thing that changed was him gaining a rather powerful talent.

John then had an interesting idea.

"The godkiller leader said I copied his soul and went back in time. He then chased me across both time and space."

"Does that mean there is a version out there of me still with my true existence? Another timeline?"

"What if I am able to connect to my alternate self? Wouldn't that be similar to the matrix of when I was a concept?"

When John forcefully came into this higher reality. He had been limited to a single universe instead of a multiverse. He wasn't even a concept right now. So how was he to check alternate versions of himself?

John then thought back to when he was testing out his strength. He had created a crack in reality.

This confused him. As he had used a technique in the past to multiply his strength by a hundred. When he was a cultivator he once had used a megaton of force. But reality remained stable then. So what was the difference here?

"Reality should be more strict here. But I have fucked things up with my meddling of the universe. I also hit millions of times in such a small timeframe. My speed is on another level then when I was a cultivator. Perhaps speed is the key factor here."

"Creating so much energy in such a small instance."

John decided to explore the gap between reality. His body was strong enough to explore it with his body alone.

But his speed was a limiting factor.

John had used his chip to record his speed while testing his strength. It was around 360,000 kilometers an hour.

That was with all his seals unlocked.

This was quite insane. But when compared to the speed of light...

Light could travel at around 1,079,252,848 kilometers an hour.

Almost 3000 times faster then him!

His advanced spaceship could travel half the speed of light while in hyperdrive.

He had lost the parts in his storage space. But luckily, the entire planet had become part of his factory. There were spare spaceships of all varieties.

He began to move multiple warehouses worth of supplies into his storage space.

Once that was finished he vanished and appeared in his emergence point.

"There has to be some sort of way to tap into the matrix of reality. If I could pull it off once, why can't I do it again?"

Time didn't progress for the universe while John was in his emergence point.

"Why is it that time freezes for the universe? Is it simply because I am outside of reality at this moment?"

John wanted to understand his emergence point fully.

"If it weren't for my waypoints. I wouldn't have a proper way of leaving my emergence point. But I can through instinct teleport into it."

John held up his hands and visualized the universe being isolated.

Something amazing started to happen.

He was manipulating the data of his system. Using the method and internal logic for waypoints to form a special method.

John's waypoint system worked relatively based on location. Think about it this way. The earth orbits the sun at around 100k kilometers per hour. Not to mention it rotates on its axis at a slower rate.

Everything is constantly moving in the universe.

The earth rotates around the sun.

But the sun also rotates around the galaxy.

Think back to when John was a sperm. He had used a waypoint and despite having his mother not remain in place. He still remained anchored to the proper space.

How did he do this?

His waypoint system wasn't using coordinates. It was anchoring him to a structure. But you must understand, it is a complicated algorithm.

At what point does your body end and the structure begin?

You can say your bones are a core part of you.

Your muscles are also a clear part of you.

So is your skin.

But what about your clothes?

What about your shoes?

John's system was surprisingly complicated. It was made by a reality warping concept after all. It was intelligent. It was capable of not only keeping track of his remains. But of doing all the calculations needed for his golden finger.

Right now. In this instant. John was going through all that logic and deriving something.

What was it? He was isolating not the coordinates. But creating a manifestation of this universe where he had set a waypoint.

How did he do this? This of his multiple waypoints on his planet. Or the waypoints he had in chaotic space. They operated off first creating a phantom copy of the structure. Then intelligently creating a special matching system.

You see... when John was a concept. He had scanned the entire universe.

Then when the teleport or respawn function was used. It would check the database in his 'will' and compare it with every structure in the universe.

Then after confirming a match. It would warp reality itself and trigger the protocols needed to revive him. If that didn't work, such as the structure being gone. It would then resort to other means.

Obviously, he wasn't able to stay connected to his concept all the time due to overload. So the structures also relied on local information.

His sight, hearing, and feeling. It was like every moment he was alive and every moment observed through his body was data fed to his 'will' that made it possible for his set of powers to work.

This system was extremely complex and was almost akin to an intelligent system without emotions.

This flexibility meant that even though for example, he hadn't scanned all of chaotic space. His body's senses had still saved the structures from his memories.

Chaotic space didn't function like reality. So his system adopted a coordinate system instead. It was very adaptable.

But when he was in the gap between realities. He was in a deadmans land. His system couldn't make sense of his location even with his senses. A coordinate system was also useless. He didn't have the proper permissions to warp this space.

So even his teleport didn't work. If it wasn't for his emergence point. He would be like a boat lost in sea. He would perhaps have to abandon this universe entirely.

Right now John was in his emergence point holding out his hands. He was looking at one of his waypoints like a ball of yarn. He was pulling the string and changing the structure from micro to macro.

Soon a phantom body of the universe was floating in front of him.

"It worked!"

The phantom universe vanished and John clapped his hands. His entire emergence point began to shift.

He created seven different dimensions within his emergence point.

The first three layers were designed with security in mind. They had no function other then being a potential place for inhabitants to roam in the future.

The fourth layer was called the 'nexus'. It would store what he had created earlier. The phantom projection of a universe.

The fifth layer was a prison where John could seal other entities.

The sixth layer was for future use.

The seventh layer held his global existence and was completely off limits to other entities.

John could easily warp his space in the emergence point. So he could travel through the layers as easy as blinking.

He vanished and appeared in the fourth layer.

He began to build his Nexus.

John had figured out why time didn't progress for the universe while he was in his emergence point. It was because it was static without him.

Well, that was an exaggeration. It was really because time is more dependent on perspective. His emergence point was located outside of both existence and nonexistence. It wasn't a part of reality.

In the perspective of his emergence point. Time didn't matter at all.

In his Nexus he had a square with a sphere inside. This represented the universe he had invaded.

"Perhaps in the future. I will have rows upon rows of universes."

He had rows upon rows of podiums in his nexus. He had used his creation talent.

He then created a phantom universe. This wasn't a universe and had nothing to do with the universe he was in besides being a representation of his link to this universe.

He had filled the display of one of the podiums.

"I shall name this universe 'Higher Reality #0'."

The universe was dim as if time was stopped for it. John waved his hands and time began to pass for it. He then stopped time again. He tried to rewind time, but nothing happened.

John teleported to empty space and undid his seals.

He was in the mood to explore another universe. It would be harder without his concept. He wouldn't be able to manipulate reality and make adjustments. He would have to rely on his system and powerful body.

"I might as well check out another reality. This time... I won't be starting over."

John began to rapidly send out punches... Reality began to crack.

Soon John was sucked in.
