If John is virtually Omnipotent in his inner world and equally powerful outside of it though, what more is there for him to learn ? For example, Lawrence's engineering/transmutation power can achieve pretty much anything, but remains fundamentally limited to the data available, so by continuing his journey and collecting more of it he does increase his overall possibilities.

John' ulti-human transcendence on the other hand seems the independant type (realization of his inner potential), so having achieved virtual Omnipotence that extends outside his inner world, it's hard to imagine what more he would stand to gain, as he could easily create his own complete arsenal from nothing (Boundless Inner World, Absolute Existence, Absolute Wish, Conceptual Lordship, Meta Summoning, Realiy Dreaming).

From what I can tell, the rest of the world no longer has anything to offer him power-wise, though I can imagine he would still continue for the authenticity mentioned previously, and out of his heroic kindness for all the people in need. If you want John to meaningfully continue the personal ascension through learning, training, and experience, you would probably have to tweak the "awakening" side, so he doesn't completely overrides the others, which his Ulti-Human State ended up doing.

Maybe make it conditional, in a reactive sense ? Like refocusing him on Meta Transcendance (his core True Power), and basing it on external inputs ? In an Ability Transcendence kind of way : you can learn any ability and refine/modify it to your heart's content through study/training/awakening, but not create it from thin air or skip directly to the results.

That would be an interestingly motivating way to go about it, as John would keep growing endlessly through practice and experience, always learning something new during his travels (like styles, techniques, variants, mods, etc.) and opening new paths with each discovery (new ways to master, new tricks up his sleeve and new types of components, to research new evolutions and craft his own custom abilities/equipment).

He would end up sharing his time between exploration/adventuring, learning/training and research/crafting (with a lot of fun/partying in between) and balancing them out into an awesome way of life that can immersively go on forever, without cheap shortcuts ruining his human-style badassery and long-term motivation.

True, John and Lawrence do have a lot in common, though for every similarity there is a difference as well. For example, John is the "change the world" type, and doesn't hesitate to use his mighty powers for this great purpose, while Lawrence is the "be part of the world" type, immersing himself in it and following his personal path among them. It like the "similarly different" combo, makes the both of them even cooler in their own unique way.

Indeed ! I'm pretty sure they would get along wonderfully, become great friends and have a lot of fun adventures together, kinda like Spiderman and Deadpool (I warmly recommend this duo series, it is one the funniest I have ever read ^ ^).

Thank you very much :) Yeah, John is a traveler after all, so while he does help a ton along the way, he can't just stand watch forever. There are many other worlds in need to saving after all, and staying in the same indefinitely would be too frustrating for an adventurer like him. A possibility would be for him to take disciples during his stay, whose merits and resolves he acknowledges, train them into awakening their potential and teach them the ulti-human way, then structure them into a powerful independent organization (the Ulti-Human Order for example) mixing philosophy, knighthood and superheroism, that would protect the people from threats and tyrants, and support/guide them to brighter tomorrows.

Chosen disciples may be preferable to flesh-and-blood legacy, as children come with a ton of strings attached, and John would basically end up forcing his own agenda on them, deny them the freedom to choose their own path, which goes against the values he's promoting.
