John thought to himself. Just what sort of golden finger would he create? He wasn't Emflowcreagen. He wasn't a concept. He was an origin.
The power was of a different level. So the cheat could be more powerful.
"Thanks to my blessings. My existence itself is like a cheat."
"Is there anything that I currently lack?"
John then realized...
"I do lack a body..."
"Perhaps that will be my golden finger. Infinite Reincarnation!"
John threw this thought away.
"I am blessed by Life. I cannot die. Such a cheat is useless."
John was curious how his blessings would manifest as a normal mortal. For example, if he reincarnated. He would have a brain. He would also have a nerve system. So if his head exploded. What would happen?
He didn't need to rely on the brain regardless. This meant his body could die. But his consciousness, his existence could not.
So he wasn't exactly immortal in the sense of being unkillable. But he was immortal in the sense that you could not wipe him out.
He has been wiped out before in the past. But such a thing can no longer happen to him. Because he has become an Origin.
"I currently have no access to any universe. I have all this power. But I have no way to use it."
John wasn't mad at this fact. He just found it interesting. Because he could manipulate consciousness and soul.
"Perhaps instead of looking for a solution in the external. I must first master the internal. I have all this control and power. But I haven't used it for anything."
"I have created a universe in the past using formations. I have also created a soulverse. I did this as a mere mortal. So what sort of things can I pull off now that I am an origin?"
"My existence will exist indefinitely. Maybe I have a similar job to other concepts. Except... instead of dreaming multiverses... I will actively create them!"
John's mental body appeared in the first layer of his Origin Realm.
"Creating a multiverse..."
"It can't be that hard right?"
John held his hand out. Space began to distort. John was using Blasphemy to bend the rules of this layer. Soon a floating white cube appeared in his hands.
"The multiverse container has been successfully constructed."
John had both palms facing towards one another.
He held the cube in his hand as it began to phase in and out of existence. It looked like multiple phantom cubes were appearing and disappearing around it.
"Abyss constructed successfully."
The white cube now had a black cube overlapping with it. But it was rotated slightly.
A white orb appeared and began to rotate around the cube.
"Otz room constructed successfully."
Trillions of lines of text appeared in a wrap around the entire object.
"System Overgod constructed successfully."
John however didn't construct a chaos realm. As he didn't wish for other entities to invade his universe through it.
Perhaps a chaos realm could be used in the future to reach other universes.
John lacked something crucial. He didn't have any laws! But luckily... he had something even better. Concepts!
He specifically used Knowledge to grasp at the infinite.
He had the container and system of the multiverse ready. He just needed to establish the rules and laws.
This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there.
This was important as it would dictate exactly the limits of those in the universe. John hoped to use an internal multiverse like this to figure out a way to connect to external universes.
John had to make a choice here.
"Science? Wizards? Cultivation? Chaos Holders? Super Heroes? The possibilities are endless. Why not have them all!"
He was building his own multiverse after all.
He created a universe in a big bang using 120 different elements. He would let this universe cook for a few billion years.
The next universe he created. He didn't use the 120 elements. He instead made everything made up of energy particles.
Those particles being darkness, light, water, fire, energy, air, and earth. He would also let this universe cook for a few billion years.
The next universe he created. He didn't use energy particles. But instead spiritual elements.
Those were wood, fire, earth, metal, water, space, and thunder.
This universe he didn't create in a big bang. He instead constructed a universal Pagoda with a habitable space that stretched billions of kilometers. There were layers to this universe. The spiritual energy was rich.
The core of this pagoda he had both yin and yang chasing each other generating endless spiritual energy for each realm.
He would let this universe cook for billions of years.
The next universe he created. He constructed a reality entirely made of data. An evolving world of zero's and ones.
It started as simply two states... then became exponentially more complicated. He also planned to let this universe cook for billions of years.
In his nexus. He had the coordinates for each universe he had made.
John wasn't sure what direction these worlds would take. But he didn't plan on being entirely hands off.
The podiums were no longer empty.
But the universes were quite empty. John felt he should bring some life into them.
Even though these universes shared different rules. The white orb rotating around the multiverse container. The Otz room was shared between them all.
John used his soul manipulation to spawn in fresh 'human' souls.
John used this as a cheat to locate civilization.
Because once a body was going to be born that could hold the soul of a human. He would feel the changes in the connection of the souls in the otz room.
After millions of years... The otz room began to undergo changes.
John watched with excitement as he woke from another nap. He had slept for a few million years. As there wasn't much to do besides perfecting his universes.
"Which world is it?"
It would seem a cultivation civilization had been the first to have humans.
John had a blessing called 'Mystery'. This meant his existence was hidden. He temporarily placed his soul in the otz room.
You must remember. That this soul has nothing to do with his Origin. John's consciousness was carried by his Origin.
His soul, will, and spirit body. They didn't matter.
He simply remade them to be reborn.
In the past... John had used 'Soul Domain' to remove his soul from the otz room. So it might seem weird for him to place it there. But he attached no value to this soul.
He was merely trying out to see if being reborn would work this way.
This was merely a test run.

Li Kai's POV:
"How is the health of my child?"
The seer spoke:
"Healthy and strong! Let me check once again."
She put her hands on her crystal ball. It shattered and blood began to flow from her orifices.
She coughed up blood.
"Demon child! He will bring doom to us all..."
The seer died.
Kai was one of the most powerful cultivators in this layer of heaven and earth. He had a bad feeling recently about his child. Who still hadn't been born yet.
So he liked to check on the status through his private seer. This woman had been born with a special gift. She was blind. But she could see things other people could not.
Kai looked around at his guards.
He killed them.
He couldn't let other people know his child was a 'demon'. That could lead to the sect he had spent his life working on getting wiped out.
"Everything will be fine... I will raise him right. Demon child? Nonsense!"
The day his son was born. The sun went black. An eclipse...
The mother barely survived... despite a rigorous diet, she seemed skin and bones. It was as if the baby was a parasite.
She barely made it through.
Kai noticed something right away. As he looked at his son... His son stared at him. Who was he? He was a nascent soul cultivator! Yet... those eyes. They were so... indifferent. It was as if a god was staring at his soul.
Kai took his son away from the mother causing her to cry. She had a bad feeling.
"Don't kill him! He is just a baby..."
Kai spoke:
"Silence! Listen to him... he didn't even cry. His eyes show intelligence."
"Who knows what he is... "
Kai went to his room and took out a dagger.
He stabbed it into the heart of his son.
"Farewell... demon."
The baby resisted. But it was no match for the strength of one of the strongest cultivators. Its heart was pierced.
Kai left the baby on the ground as he planned to clean up the scene.
He noticed that the knife was pushed out of the babies body. It had healed!
"Immortal? Impossible!"
John's body wasn't actually immortal. It was his blessing of Vitality. This body had his blessings as long as it had his consciousness.
----------------------------------------
"It seems rebirth does work."
John looked at his father.
"Don't kill him! He is just a baby..."
Kai spoke:
"Silence! Listen to him... he didn't even cry. His eyes show intelligence."
For some reason his father took him away to a different room.
Soon John was stabbed in the heart with a knife.
"Farewell... demon."
"Are you serious?"
John used Adversity. A power of his Origin. From stress, he grows stronger. He stood up and looked at his father.
Burden.
He used another ability of his origin.
Soon Kai was experiencing millions of years of memories. John then used Fall. He switched consciousness with Kai!
He had switched bodies.
Kai looked on in horror as John picked up the dagger.
John spoke:
"A demon child..."
He stabbed the baby in the heart and Kai died.
As the soul left the body. John pinched it and began to look through its memories. It soon fell apart.
John then looked around.
"Nascent Soul? Not bad... 'father'."
