"Is it perhaps time?"

John felt like he was ready to connect to his origin again.

"Have I truly squeezed out all of my potential? I don't believe so!"

"I created four core universes for this multiverse."

"A path to master the internal. I have gained a lot from this universe. But there remain two unexplored."

"I still must find a way to connect to external univeses. My training has just begun!"

John was absolutely delusional! He thought his current level of power was just the beginning. He wished to further increase the amount of cards he had.

But what more could the other universes offer him?

John looked around him.

"I can consume the cradle of this universe, severing the birth of all data lifeforms... The system's protection zones will shatter and entropy will increase over time. Until everything is wiped out..."

"The benefits are unknown. But..."

John frowned. He had fallen in love with this universe entirely. It was perhaps his favorite universe. He didn't wish to destroy it!

"What is wrong with me!? I normally wouldn't hesitate..."

John felt something pulsing in his heart.

"Is this love?"

John was feeling something he didn't quite understand.

"No... I won't destroy this world!"

"This world is like me. It has infinite potential."

John started to laugh.

"How weird. A normal person will fall in love with someone else. Yet, I have fallen in love with my creation... How scandalous!"

John looked around at the data. He saw Du off in the distance.

"The first universe in this multiverse I created is made up of 120 different elements. The path forward for this world is technology."

"The second universe I created was made of energy particles. The path forward for this world is magic."

"The third universe I created was made up of spiritual elements. The path forward was cultivation."

"The universe I am in now...What sort of path forward is there?"

"A perfect race of processors..."

"This race is one that has mastered the internal...They have even shocked me."

John started to smile.

"I won't destroy your world. Nor will I curse it."

"I myself am cursed by calamity. I must surpass myself! But I won't let my old bones taint you. I'll give you a blessing instead!"

Du felt a shiver go down his spine as he looked at John. He felt like John was getting ready to do something crazy!

John started to mumble to himself.

John had already covered the entire universe in spiritual energy.

"Creating matter using spiritual energy..."

What John was about to do would forever change this universe! He was making these beings of data into their own REAL race!

"In the future. I will need capable existences to help me."

"I have never met such qualified existences!"

The data around John began to warp and distort.

John said:

"Final Destination: Existence Reset."

John pointed at some random information. A data lifeform manifested and became an ordinary human. John watched this process with interest.

The data lifeform was confused.

Naturally this ability had a time limit.

Five minutes later... It expired.

"This isn't my limit!"

Just like when John had used multiples of primary focus... when he had created infinite type spiritual energy. He was doing something on an entirely different scale.

He was attacking with 'Existence Reset'. But he wasn't using it the right way. He was creating a different ability.

This universe was special. Any other universe might not have had any reaction at all to how John was using this ability.

John's eyes became bloodshot as he shouted.

"Final Destination: Existence Birth!"

"Primary Focus: Origin Race!"

The spiritual energy started to rotate as a single body formed.

It was similar to John's body! You see. Whenever John teleports, he completely destroys his body and reconstructs it. His consciousness doesn't get unraveled through this.

The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.

John had established systems to revive himself.

Each data lifeform didn't necessarily have what you would consider a soul. It didn't look like one at the very least. They however did have a consciousness. John was targetting each individual consciousness.

John could use spiritual energy to construct a body.

But who said he couldn't use it to create more then one body? But instead of splitting his consciousness between two bodies.

He was doing something else entirely.

He was building and designing an entirely new race.

John used Infinite Mind and spent thousands of years designing a true perfect race.

He also made sure to redesign his body as well during this time. All of this takes some time to described, but happened in an instant.

"Concepts? Overgods? Gods? Supreme beings?"

"They will all cower in fear when they meet my children..."

"Behold!"

"The Origin Race!"

The data started to fade out of existence. Then something incredible happened. A green ball of energy appeared. A blue ball of energy appeared. A yellow one, a red one. Another green one.

The data had disappeared!

John had blessed this universe with soul! When John was in school. He had his existence unraveled and upgraded into something similar to a data lifeform.

They had given him glorius insights. So he wished to give back.

Thousands of balls of energy appeared.

This became billions.

"I said! Behold!"

John snapped his fingers as a ribcage formed around each ball of energy. A glowing skeleton formed... muscles... skin.

But the organs were entirely different then that of a human. John had created a shiftable body that could adjust to the environment.

A race that could survive in any environment.

The body he designed wasn't exactly as strong as an abyssal body. But it would allow one to maintain consciousness anywhere.

How did John do this? He made a structure that created spiritual energy as the heart of this race.

As for controlling spiritual energy? Or John's other abilities?

This race had none of that... yet!

But the consciousness of each data lifeform was anchored to a body. This was an application of his existence reset. John had created another ability. Their consciousness itself was almost paradoxical. It was anchored to the body but still independent.

The adults of this universe would have an avatar and paradise. They also could tap into technology and control it remotely through their data realization.

What John had done would cause chaos...

The Origin Race looked around in confusion. There was no data around...

There was something special about each individual. They had what John called an 'independent' consciousness.

This meant that it wasn't tied to the body. Think about when John designed his golden finger. He had the system stored in his will.

This meant that their thinking was still as good as before!

But the entire structure of their world had basically been dug up. What exactly would they do now? John was looking forward to their growth.

They had finally left the internal... it was time for them to conquer the external!

Now that all of the data had disappeared... it was very easy to find the 'cradle'.

A portal opened up and John grabbed Du and went through. There was a white sun in the center of this data universe.

"So this is it huh?"

"If I integrate this into my consciousness. I wonder what exactly would happen?"

"This will become the generator and mother for all of the Origin Race!"

John had destroyed all of the structure of this universe. Schools? Law enforcement? Jobs? Entertainment? It was all torn down! They would have to rebuild society.

This also meant unfortunately that the newborns were also given a body. They hadn't graduated from school. So there was a gap in their skills when compared to those that had finished school.

"Hmm..."

"I am strong enough to give each data lifeform a body... But, to create a mechanism that auto-generates a body."

"That's it!"

"How could I forget? Death!"

"When a normal person dies. They go to the abyss or reincarnate. But data lifeforms are special. They can reconstruct their consciousness. But things like entropy and such can cause their consciousness to dissipate."

"I have given them bodies. But I haven't given them the tools to be truly immortal."

"I will make this 'cradle' something akin to a world will. When the origin race dies... their consciousness will get sent to the cradle. They will then need to pass the test to be reborn. As for what these test shall be? It'll be similar to the test I had to take to graduate myself."

"This is an immortal race!"

"This means that if a newborn dies... they will be trapped in the cradle until they are able to pass the test. This solves the problem of the race getting weaker over time. Instead, the race will only grow stronger and stronger as time passes!"

"This is a better respawn mechanic then what I had with Emflowcreagen. This essentially makes each data lifeform able to respawn infinitely. As for where they will respawn? It will be in this hidden universe. A universe not connected to the outside world."

John flew towards the white sun. It was massive and by comparison, he seemed quite small. But this wasn't an actual sun. It was a representation of the evolution of this universe.

John put his hands on the cradle.

Concentrated spiritual energy was injected directly into it.

John began to design the very rules for this mechanism. It was similar to his revival mechanism. The data universe and data lifeforms would still exist.

John saw a few newborns generated from this source while he was working on it.

"It seems this is the true source..."

From memory. John designed a special trial. Those would could pass this trial would be able to respawn infinitely within this universe.

"Pass this trial and you will become a member of the origin race!"

John looked around at the emptiness.

"This universe is empty and cold."

John started to get an idea.

"Du. I'll send you the next universe. I have something I want to try."

"You're going to do something crazy... aren't you?"

"Probably!"

A portal opened up and Du flew through.

John looked at the cradle.

"I have done the impossible..."

"Exotic matter. Negative Mass. Creating something from nothing."

"I am quite good at breaking the rules of physics."

John created a barrier around the cradle.

"I hope you can survive this..."

John teleported away and appeared in front of the origin race.

Information waves were sent out in all directions drawing in the attention of the origin race.

"Greetings! I am your creator. The origin of calamity. Don't get the wrong impression. I hate weakness..."

"All of you are going to die!"

Soon rapid discussion began.

"But don't worry. We are an immortal race. You merely need to pass a trial to unlock the ability to respawn. I won't be killing you all for no reason either."

"I created this universe based on two simple states of data. It evolved and became quite complex..."

"In the world of information. You all had access to vivid simulations and infinite entertainment. But now you find yourself in a empty world with nothing. Your flesh isn't made of cells and your brains won't experience entropy. You are an eternal and immortal race. But being trapped here is a fate worse then death."

John held out his finger.

"All of you are geniuses when compared to other races. So I think some of you will grasp the power of spiritual energy on the verge of death. For those that don't... I can only apologize for your incompetence!"

A black dot appeared at the end of his finger.

The entire origin race started to get pulled.

"Pull..."

Before anyone was sucked into the black dot. It became a white dot.

"Push..."

It began to switch back and forth creating waves among the origin race.

"When you perfectly balance all states. Neutral, Positive, and Negative..."

"When you create something with neither negative or positive mass."

"An imaginery focal point!"

The black and white dot looked almost like a yin and yang.

"Balance!"

John was narrating what he was doing and sending the waves across the entire universe. He was 'teaching' at this moment.

"Destroy this balance and you have..."

The yin and yang exploded.

"A big bang!"

John had created an infinitely hot and dense point! He then blew it up creating a big bang.

John along with the entire origin race was disentegrated.

This point then inflated and stretched at unimaginable speeds creating an actual physical universe!

The barrier surrounding the cradle was destroyed as it entangled itself across the existence of this universe becoming its own realm entirely.

John's body reformed.

"Did I fuck it up?"

He saw no survivors...

But out of nowhere. He felt a disturbance in spiritual energy.

Someone had passed the trial already! It had only been a second...

Then another. Then another.

Thousands had passed!

John laughed.

"As expected of my creations..."

"This is going to be fun."
