Because reality is not the same as this particular universe. It encompasses everything that exists one way or another. That would include even an ultimate entity like God.

Fair enough. Is reality a thing, or does it merely signify all things which exist? If it signifies all things which exist, do all of those things exist on the condition of other things?
