Chereads / Beyond Reality: Throne of Nothingness / Chapter 16 - Journey to the Jade Palace

Chapter 16 - Journey to the Jade Palace

First Pov

Man, I think I could relate to Knull now. If I was in any way disturbed here. I too would seek to destroy it. I was actually kinda reluctant to leave again but I also really wanted to find a way to be here with a body, because staying as just a soul feels really wrong and uncomfortable. I could create myself a body using my magic but it would immediately cease to exist. My studies have shown that my soul, as well as my energy, were the only thing capable of existing here, so the easiest method would be to become a spirit, a lifeform made of energy, but I didn´t like that, I was unique in any way and I would not let my body be any different. So, I have no other option but to create a body that is both spiritual, biological, more and none of these at the same time, kinda like the Outer Gods are but different, it would be made by me, for me, to suite my power and status and I already had a plan for that. The plan would definitely take a long time but I was in no hurry, however for the plan to start I had to actually leave my home and go back to reality. No other choice, I guess.

So, I made my way back to where I could sense the Outerverse, this time there was no one who was strong enough to notice me. It wasn´t long before I spotted a reality nearby, my plan required specific universes but finding them was going to be hard, so I would just go to every reality I come across and at some point, I would arrive at the ones I needed. The moment I entered the new reality, I could feel that it had a new type of energy, this one not only seemed more spiritual than others I encountered but was also a lot harder to change into other forms, it seemed more like the lifeforce of this universe than anything else.

I could always look into it later, for now I had to find a new body to blend in. I felt around the universe, sensing many different dimensions until I finally spotted a planet with many different life forms. Interestingly enough, I had not been able to find any human, which would have actually been strange because what are the chances that three universes in a row had humans. Good thing I didn´t just create my own human body I a world where humans don´t exist. Once I arrived at the planet, I saw many creatures that looked like humanoid animals, I guess I was expecting too much when I was hoping for new creatures. I looked around a bit before I found an orangutan, no idea how old he was but he was small, so I was guessing he was a child.

My new life has been rather boring till now, my 'parents' were an orangutan and a lemur, no idea how this worked, but apparently I was 5 years old. This world has proven itself not only to be completely populated by humanoid animals but I was also rather familiar to me. This world was martial arts based or to be more precisely, kung fu, and it was crated by a certain tortoise a few hundred years back. For anyone who still didn´t know where I was, I was in Kung Fu Panda. I had now entered two universes, that were fiction from the earth I was originally born on, in a row and I could no longer shove it up as coincidence. Sure, there were infinite realities but me entering two in a row that were built exactly how I knew them was not normal and I was surely going to investigate this 'coincidence'.

Anyhow, for now all that didn´t matter, I had already made plans on how I could benefit from this universe. Firstly, I could finally get some real battle experience, secondly, I could learn how to use many weapons correctly, thirdly, I was going to devour countless souls that had higher martial talent than my last universe, and lastly, I was so gonna absorb the Wellspring. My reserves have been stuck at Universal because the souls in Black Clover all had so little mana, most didn´t even have city level, the Wellspring however had a low Multiverse level reserve of chi. I definitely wasn´t going to care about the fact that I was literally absorbing the lifeforce of an entire reality, such opportunities were definitely extremely rare and I would benefit way too much. I just had to be careful to absorb the Wellspring when I´m all finished up with getting everything else from here, because I was certain that the moment I absorbed this universes lifeforce, it would simply die.

I decided to go to Valley of Peace to learn, me 'parents' were really proud of me when I told them that. As I made my way to the Palace and the founder of Kung Fu, I couldn´t help but smile at the thought of low Multiverse level reserves, that would directly place me into the big leagues of even the strongest realities like Marvel or DC. I would decide how to grow my World Tree later, because this universe had the spirit realm this was going to be a bit more complicated.

A/N- For anyone wondering, anyone can learn Kung Fu at the Temple, how else would there be so many Kung Fu masters around
