The circle of power was first created by The sun god, according to the lore of the novel. It revolves around crystallizing the raw mystical force by cycling it through an imaginary circle inside the body. Thus creating a circle.
There are two main reasons why rebuilding the circle when it broke was almost impossible. First, the destruction of such a thing would expel all of your belief from the body, creating a husk of who you were, never the same dream of drive again. Making it harder for you to have intense beliefs or channel another in yourself.
They were called doubters. People who couldn't believe in anything and constantly question their own existence but, never settle on one definition. They couldn't hold on to an idea long enough to form a belief.
Banishing them from the path of divinity.
However, John doesn't have that problem, He and Reeva aren't the same person, even if he refers to himself as Reeva now. He could create raw mythic force from belief. A yellow mist is the evidence.
The problem came with the second thing. When their circle exploded and they became doubters, the path that they used to create that power was also ruined. Like a vase that was broken, no matter how much water was poured in, it will always spit it out.
The solution to this is to create a different path or repair it with a potion as he mentioned earlier. However, both will only yield subpar results.
A person has a limited space in their body, So, you would want to maximize the space when creating a circle to hold mystic power.
Most people will put the circle in the middle of their body, right on their chest. Making it impossible for another circle to reach the same size. Thus the circle that you could make would be inferior to the one you had before, and you would never reach godhood that way.
Out of the 9 circles you need to reach divinity, only 5 could be achieved if you had an inferior circle. And Reeva doesn't want to get stuck halfway through his path of power. At that point even if he discovered the cure it would be too late, he would have to rebuild the circles again.
Alternatively, you could form a star. The star was said to be older than the circle. Discovered by a group of cults and spread throughout the land. The star is a much more crude version of Power Foundation. It could purify the raw mystic force but it is highly inefficient and not suitable for humans. It was said to be created when god walked among the living.
It has a low conversion rate of Raw to pure mystic power and the user of the star would have to pay more price to use its power. However, it was discovered that you could use human blood to power the star to generate pure mystic force at the same rate.
Reeva hasn't seen anyone with this type of foundation reach godhood before. Only one in the novel got to 9 circles and along the way he left a pile of bones in his wake. Reeva doesn't like that at all.
He wants to reach Godhood the right way, with only his belief in being happy. He doesn't want to rob people of their happiness.
However, reaching godhood the normal way would not cut it. His circle is ruined and he doesn't want to form a star. He needs something else or a cure for his condition. NO matter how hard he racks in the brain around it, he doesn't have a concert conclusion. He decides to shove this matter for later, something still needs his attention.
He needs to deal with The monster that appears in the [Foresight] and see what this the [Expiriment] app is about.
Since he was here, he might as well check this [Expiriment] app. He presses the app icon and a warning pops up again.
You could only use [Experiment] once a day. For 1 hour after you start the app, No matter what state you're in you will return to the state right before you start the app

The author covers his own ass
Reeva would like to have immortality for an hour but this is close enough, as long as he isn't dead, he could return to peak condition. He presses yes to try out the app.
A timer starts on the phone, Reeva gets up and walks out of the hotel. The sun was still right above his head, which signifies that time didn't move that much since he used [Foresight].
He arrives at the streets of Grand Road and starts jogging. He passes by many who look at him weirdly, people, especially the high class or middle class don't like to run. It's a rare sight to see someone running.
Most of the time if you want to travel fast and look elegant, You'll use a bike or a carriage. However, Reeva is here to test the app so he jogs to his destination.
It took him an hour to reach the intended destination. His leg feels a little tired, his heart rate is a little elevated, and he is panting from the continuous jogging. The timer is about to go end when he checks it.

The timer reached, zero and his body turned back to the state before he was running. His fatigue disappears like it never happened. Just a second ago he was feeling exhausted but now, it is all like it never happened.
Whao...
It works as advertised. With this app, he could do something extreme and get away with it. Like testing something new. The author didn't lie, this is really helpful for him right now.
He felt excited
However, he still needs to do something first, in front of him is the private investigator's office, it's been about a week since the last time he was here. He needs some information if he wants to stop the white flesh incident from happening.
