===========================================================

After witnessing the lady picking up the cultivation manual and going inside her house, Mark gave the universe one last once over and then left. As Mark was floating in the void, directly outside his home universe watching it change completely from what it used to be. Now it has moved next to Annessa's realm and has encompassed her realm entirely, just like hers did Nokia's realm, and just like his did the Origin Plane.

Watching as it moves from the position that it was in and transforming and expanding to encompass Annessa's realm, it is a beautiful sight. Taking his eyes off the universe for a moment, Mark takes a chance to look outwards, towards the infinite number of realities and realms and universe and multiverse and omniverse in existence. Truly a beautiful sight to behold.

Gaining comfort in know that his father is somewhere out there while being basically invincible, Mark looks back at the universe turned Chaos Plane. Watching it complete its position change, now Mark watches as it changes in the inside, with time speeding up and slowing down and explosions going everywhere. Sublime really did not like the set up that he started with, huh?

Looking into the universe for an instant, Mark understood what Sublime did. He created a barrier around the Earth that will protect it from all that was going to happen in the universe, then he reversed time to the beginning of the universe and left a Chaos Particle there that then spread infinitely throughout time, until it reached where we are now. 14.7 billion years after the creation of the universe, an instant after the sick lady went inside her house, the world's barrier broke and Chaos Energy seeped in, saturating the entire planet with the second most powerful energy type.

After that happened, Sublime limited the energy intake of the Earth, otherwise it would implode with the amount of energy that accumulated outside the barrier. All that Chaos Energy gathering outside the barrier would move into the planet when the barrier was removed, saturating the planet with too much energy that would then begin to slowly crush it until it imploded. That would certainly be a way to go.

After the universe and the Earth's time finally caught up and synced, Mark called Sublime for a talk. Sublime, getting the call, immediately left the universe as he knew that his father was watching him change the universe, and appeared next to Mark still in the same multi-colored human male body.

"Yes Father?"

"Accelerate time 1,000 years into the future of your realm. I want to see how much the Earth has changed."

"Yes Father!"

After saying that, Sublime's body disintegrated and left to do what Mark asked of him. Mark, being outside the universe and seeing everything from outside, also saw the accelerating of time in the universe along with Earth and waited for a little over five seconds before it stopped and returned to normal time. Sublime appeared next to Mark again and said that it was ready, Mark did not reply to Sublime but only nodded and disappeared as well as Sublime. Mark teleporting to Earth and Sublime going back to his realm home.

Mark teleported outside the Earth's atmosphere and stayed there, slowly looking over the planet's lights in the night side of the world. Looking around himself, he sees shuttles exiting the planet with minimal effort and there are thousands of them all just leaving and entering the planet. Making himself invisible, Mark starts flying through the congestion of the vehicles entering and leaving the atmosphere.

While flying through the massive groups of vehicles, he looks inside occasionally and sees people on what looks like holographic hand-held computers. Like the mobiGlass from Star Citizen except it looks more advanced and for commercial use because he saw someone viewing youtube with it. Finished with spying on the people entering and leaving the planet, Mark speeds up his descent towards the planet, avoiding the passing vehicles with expert precision.

Once he was under the cloud cover, he saw a cityscape he did not recognize from the world he explored, so he stopped and searched for New York City. Finding no city by that name in the world, he searches for the replacement for New York City and found it not far from the original city's location, just with more walls. This city under him also had massive walls.

Entering the air space of the New York Walled City, Mark was surprised by the amount of traffic in the air, and the new designs that the people used to build the buildings. They employed a very similar building style as the cities in Star Citizen, and they also use just as advanced if not more so, technology to build the city and in the buildings. The air is just riddled with vehicles.

Flying down to the new Times Square while avoiding the passing vehicles, Mark noticed the mass changes that happened in the thousand years. Everything looks so cyberpunk style, the vehicles, the people's clothes, the cell phones, the houses, the buildings, they all look cyberpunk but more advanced than that. So much more advanced and modern.

Ok, lets try to explain it. The vehicles are all closed throughout their entire bodies, there are barely any cars left on the roads driving on land, they are all in the sky with sky traffic lights. The vehicles are also automatic and autonomous, every vehicle in the sky is driving itself and most on the roads are also driving itself. The only ones not driving themselves are very old looking vehicles, that look like they have started rusting.

Next are the people, their clothes, and their phones, or lack there off. These people are not paying attention to their surroundings, yet they don't bump into each other. The entirety of their attention is on their mobiGlass copy phone and apparently, they use that for everything they do. Their shopping, their smart home, their destination choosing, their groceries, even their toilet is controlled by their HoloGlass, the name of the thing. Then their clothes are so much more than the clothes worn in the 21st century and much better quality as well.

Mark is surprised by all the advancement that humans have made in the last thousand years. Obviously, they could have done all this without the Chaos Energy, but it would have taken two or three more centuries to get to this level on this planet alone. The fact that they can travel outside of the planet effortlessly is all because of the Chaos Energy and the things they can do with it.

As Mark was looking around, he saw an ad playing in the center building holographic display. It is advertising that the next trip to the new planet will be soon, and the competition for a chance to go will start in 30 days, on the 10st of March, 3022. It also says that people that want to participate have until the last five days to sign up for the tournament. Intrigued by the prospect of exploring a new planet, Mark teleports to the New York City branch signing booth.

Once there, he sees a long queue for the signing process with thousands of people and what looks like guards looking at the multiple queueing lines. Mark looks at the future and finds the one that is the most interesting and the fastest line of all those queues, then he gets in line and waits. For three hours he waits in the queue, slowly moving forward in the line, standing there patiently waiting for his turn.

While waiting for his turn, Mark heard multiple conversations at the end of the queueing line.

"Hey, so which one do you think is going to win? That new guy with ridiculous scores from Mars or our very own long-time winner?" Someone asked their friend standing in front of them.

"I'm voting for the new guy; I mean have you seen his score in the games on Mars--"

"Even if he comes from Mars, the games there should be almost identical to Earth." Answered the person that was asked the question animatedly, with excitement in his voice.

"Yeah, but he comes from Mars, at least that should put some dampers in your decision to vote for him in the game this year."

"Even if he comes from Mars, he has a better attitude than our winner, that guy is way too arrogant."

Just then, that very same person received a blow to the face by a new guy. The people around look at him and pale as they recognize who he is, and they opt to stay out of the confrontation. Mark was too far away from them and not paying attention to them at this time, he used super hearing to hear them at the back of the line after all.

"You say that again you fucking pussy!" Yelled the angry looking fellow at the person that was now on the floor, with a bloody nose. That same person looked up in fear as he recognized the voice and quickly stood up and bowed.

"I'm sorry Dweeb! You are the best player in the games, and no one can beat you!" He yelled at the angry person that visibly calmed down after hearing that. But he was still mad, so he punched the little guy in the face and walked away to the front of the line.

Just as it was his turn to sign the papers, a commotion arises from the back of the line. Mark looks back and sees someone skipping the entire queue and going straight for the papers, when suddenly Mark takes it from the table and looks at him with interest. The man looks at Mark with a maddened glare and snarls to grab the papers from Mark's hand. Mark hides the paper behind himself, and the angry looking man stops trying to grab the papers, opting instead to flaunt his status.

"DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM YOU MOTHERFUCKER!!!"

"I have not fucked any mothers, and no I don't know who you are, but I have a feeling you are goi-" Replied Mark with a deadpan that just enraged the guy even more.

"I'M DUCKIE FUCKING DWEEB, THE SON OF THE CITY MAYOR YOU BITCH!"

"Well, 'Duckie Fucking Dweeb', nice to meet you. I'm not a female dog and please stop screaming. Now will you tell me why you skipped the queue." Mark asked with a straight face, while looking at Duckie Dweeb, the apparent son of the city mayor. When Mark, asked that question, all the people around looked at him with a hidden prayer in their eyes. They all looked at Duckie and saw his head literally fuming with steam and his face all red, with his eyes almost bulging out of their sockets. It was a would be a comical sight if not for the implications of this face.

When the guy heard what Mark said, all his rationality left his head and he thew a punch with his cultivation fully activated. Mark seeing this raised his eyebrow and just caught the punch with one hand. When Mark caught the punch, it produced air waves behind him and Duckie that almost moved the other people in the queue. Duckie seeing his punch fully nullified, sent another punch with his other hand with the same amount of force and the same thing happened.

Seeing as he was not going to stop, Mark then pulled Duckie's arms down and his entire body frame went with it, giving Mark the chance to knee Duckie's jaw with the same amount of force that Duckie used to try and punch him with. The result of this is the rolling of Duckie's eyes and the limping of his body, slowly sliding to the ground, unconscious. Then Mark walked back to the counter and filled out the form and then left.

The guards, the attendant, and the people in the queue were all left slack-jawed at the scene of the strongest participant in the competition getting knocked out and left for dead in the middle of a signing up booth. The mayor will definitely hear of this, and he will be furious.

Mark is left unconcerned.
