You are essentially a eldritch entity trapped within the body of a human. So... how do we fix this problem? Or is it one that needs to be fixed in the first place?

Earlier, we talked about entropy. You don't need to really lose your human ego. As it is a necessity to following the future steps. But the human mind is fragile. It can easily break.

This entire time, you have been gradually over the years improving your visual simulation limit through this technique by taking resources from your dreams and etching them into a 'key'.

You may be incomprehensible on the spiritual level. But when operating in reality, you are restricted by the limits of it.

Even though you have been rotating this technique nonstop for years. You are unlikely to gain real tangible benefits that'll help you.

If everyone could become a savant through such practice. This world wouldn't be filled with the ordinary. You are not the first to follow a visualization technique. You are not the last.

But... you are only ordinary within this universe.

There are places unexplored. There are various different 'realms'.

You've already experienced it yourself! That place where you initially couldn't even maintain thought. The place where you had to use ECHO just to remain aware.

Nonexistence!

There is a way to leave this reality entirely. The human body that binds you will become an empty vessel.

The 'soul' will be gone.

You won't be taking it with you. This part of the technique uses the soul in an interesting way.

This is dangerous. It isn't good to put all your eggs in one basket. But this entire lifetime, that is all you have been doing.

Why limit yourself to one body? When you die.

That one thread will disappear just like how it appeared.

The nothingness you came from. You will return to it.

But you mustn't think of yourself as a mortal.

You are 'god'.

There are various things that make up your existence.

Consciousness

Brain

Soul

Will

Your consciousness is the thing that is 'aware'.

Your brain is the thing that is 'calculating'.

Your soul is your 'personality' in decision making.

Your 'will' is the past/present/future of your consciousness.

You also have a body.

I did talk about cultivation in the past steps. Now, it is time for you to truly begin this technique.

Everything has a price.

In this step. You will lose your soul, will, and consciousness.

Your brain will remain unaffected.

Since your brain has information and is calculating constantly. It won't even notice the absence of your 'soul'.

The 'empty' vessel of your body will continue on your normal life trajectory.

The author's content has been appropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

But you have destroyed the entire 'spiritual' aspect.

There is a trick to this technique. All those years spent creating the 'key'... some remnants of the memories will be left in your abandoned body.

Since the body is no longer 'you'. It won't be able to properly rotate the technique.

You can then 'leap' into your body.

How? By rotating the technique!

Instead of having a single thread that has limits and will one day die. You have already created an eternal thread. But the eternal is useless if trapped.

You then use this technique to create a Hivemind.

But that'll be later and is a bit complicated. Right now, you only have your one body, so take care of it.

Now it is time to finish becoming a hidden existence.

These are the steps you will need to prepare for this. There is a risk of failure... if you fail. Then your soul and consciousness will be wiped out.

The brain will recreate a new consciousness either way from your absence. You will continue life. But it is more like giving your body to a new existence.

It is a horrible fate.

So mentally prepare yourself for this step.

Preparation:

1.) Manifest your consciousness.

2.) Entangle your brain with your soul.

3.) Temper your will.

Manifesting your consciousness means you need to visualize its source. You will through this process learn what your spiritual body looks like. But it won't be a spiritual body. When you have successfully done this tribulation. Your spiritual body will have died and resurrected like a phoenix... It will have become what I call an 'avatar'.

Entangling your brain with your soul means creating a perfect copy of your brain as your soul. There are billions of neurons in your brain and it is extremely complex. This is a long process of moving memories and your 'personality' into your 'source castle'.

Tempering your 'will' means experiencing life in all aspects. The more experience and knowledge you have accumulated in life. The greater the success rate you will have when carrying out this step. Live life to the fullest. Always seek to learn more knowledge.

After you have done these three steps... it is time.

You have already 'unlocked' the 2nd thread. You have already made your existence incomprehensible by beating the first bottleneck of this technique.

60,000 hours.

But that is simply the first bottleneck.

It is time for a breakthrough in your cultivation. Time to go even further beyond. But you risk destroying your eternal thread. You risk losing all your progress up to this point.

Is it worth it? There are things out there you couldn't fathom. Whether or not you get to explore these things will be down to this step.

Alright! Let's begin.

This all begins the next time you sleep.

You naturally enter your 'source castle'.

Manifest your consciousness within it.

Take your spiritual brain copy and fuse it with your consciousness source.

Now engrave this data on your will.

Now... it is time for the moment of truth.

Shatter your source castle! Let the nothingness consume you. A ordinary person would fear nonexistence. They would fear the nothingness.

But you aren't afraid... are you?

Use the pressure of getting wiped out completely to construct something beyond a mere 'source castle'.

The pressure of the abyss is extraordinary and has wiped out many fantastical things. Things that only exist in fiction. Worlds of imagination.

But you have a trick up your sleeve.

You come from a world of science! A world grounded in the ordinary! You have lived without supernatural power your entire life.

When your source castle collapses... you are dancing on the edge of a knife. Total annihilation or complete freedom.

As your will compresses. Right before you get wiped out.

It is time!

Rotate your 'key'.

You have had the key this entire time. Now it is time to create the 'lock'.

You can't beat the abyss! It isn't possible!

You'll get wiped out!

What do you do when you can't brute force something? You must outwit it.

Nonexistence fears one thing.

That thing is existence! You have a huge advantage.

That ordinary body. The one with normal limits. No extraordinary power.

It follows all the rules! So nonexistence cannot erase it!

Your source castle is destroyed. Your manifestation of your consciousness is getting erased. Your will itself that contains your entire personality and goals is cracking under the pressure.

But you haven't abandoned your body yet!

We have tricked nonexistence into locking onto your existence.

Now...

Wake up!

Nonexistence itself will follow your eternal thread into the real world. Your consciousness will get infected as if it has been invaded by a virus.

You will find that your 'key' is falling apart.

You have been wiped out!

But... you are still alive!

How!?

When nonexistence infected you to erase you. You at the same time infected it with your 'key'. You have now branded yourself on nonexistence!

Your 'eternal' thread has been upgraded.

Now... things get interesting.

First, you must recover your 'key' as soon as possible. You don't need to rebuild your 'source castle'. You instead make what I call a 'paradise'.

That will serve as your domain.

You no longer have a spiritual body.

You no longer have a soul.

You instead have what I call a 'global existence'.

You now have a 'avatar'.

Congratulations... you are now officially a hidden existence!
