Lightning.
Dang!!!
And Thunder.
Boom!!!
Dang!!!
The ocean roared, as if taunting the stormy skies to strike it harder. More lightning struck the violent sea, like heavenly arrows being shot at an army of water soldiers. As they strike the sea, waves would split and water would scatter as droplets. Beneath the rough waves, a plethora of new creatures swam.
Giant squids with cones, tadpole like fishes and what could only be described as sea scorpions roamed the ancient sea. The reef had diversified and expanded over the last fifty million years. All manner of ancient sea creatures lived around or within the massive reef whose size could encompass singapore completely. The reef was like a cross between a labyrinth and a dungeon, with hundreds of layers of rock, reef, flora and fauna.
The reef reached down to three hundred meters below thanks to mana empowered corals and other reef flora and fauna. Thanks to that, a diverse ecosystem of open ocean and reef creatures thrived within the vast reef. As for the great titans of the cambrian age, their numbers have reached the hundred thousands for the trilobite titans, the early thousands for the anomalocaris titans and barely ten thousand for the opabinia titans.
Near the massive reef, a cloud of dust rose from the ocean floor like a rising sandstorm. The water around the area began to swirl around a point as most creatures begin to swim away or follow the water's movements. A large crystal of ice stands at the epicentre, with the silhouette of a woman inside. The crystal begins to crack as the fifty two million year sleep has ended. Quickly, the crystal completely cracks and then shatters before dissolving into the sea water.
When the dark haired goddess opened her eyes, a blue pulse was immediately released, moving like a wave of light crossing the smooth terrain of the sea bed. The true ocean goddess immediately transformed into a mermaid and shot off towards the reef. Like in the last era, she explored the ancient seas. However, she created a tablet made of what looks like normal, transparent glass.
Thanks to the immense intelligence stats that he has in this incarnation, he could read and completely understand a one million word book in a microsecond. Thus, he thought of this whole idea in several tens of picoseconds. The tablet is a very advanced camera capable of catching a picture with the resolution of a human eyes and can even perfectly capture images of things that are moving at the speed of several mach. With the 'glass' camera tablet, she took pictures of the ordovician age.
There were many creatures during this age. Notably the sea scorpions, orthocones, early clams, armored jaw less fish and ancient sea snails. She took many pictures and even hour long videos during her exploration. The creator had planned to one day show these videos to the people of this world's modern age to explain the world's early ages. After a month long exploration time, the creator began the birth of the ordovician titans.
These titans start out with one pair less of a population than their predecessors. After that, the creator left the waters and walked to land. Right after he placed the last titan pair, he was struck by inspiration. He thought of the creation of higher planes and worlds, a concept inspired by hindu and buddhist mythology which entails the existence of higher realms of gods and lower realms of mortals.
From this, he planned to create many higher planes and has thought about laws for all the realms. Higher realm beings are always far stronger than lower realm beings depending on how much higher their plane or realm is. Second law, the law of suppression and rejection. To prevent higher beings from easily conquering and entering lower realms and to prevent unusually strong lower beings from exploiting the resources of higher realms, this law is created.
When higher beings enter lower realms, they will be rejected by the realm itself. This rejection will either prevent entry, cause a time limit in appearance and or greatly reduce the effects of abilities sent to that realm. Example, the god of time sends a spell that would make a whole world immortal, the spell that arrives would only make one person immortal. Another example, if someone in a lower realm becomes a higher being, they would eventually be rejected and expelled from the world once their power reaches a certain point.
The only exception to this law is for the dead or spirits belonging to an underworld, who will not be suppressed or rejected when entering any underworld. However, living things would be massively rejected and suppressed regardless of origin if they attempt to enter any underworld. Unless, the ruler of the underworld in question permits it. Then, I applied these two laws to my universe and all its current realms.
Next, I transformed into the Chaos Heaven. In the place of the dark haired ocean goddess, a majestic angel of light and darkness appeared. Her long, silky black hair swaying in the gentle breeze. She had seven golden angel wings and seven black wings, signifying the union between the powers of order and chaos. Her clothes and armor are a cross between a fallen angel and the holiest seraph.
As the Chaos Heaven, he flew up into space and began configuring a series of higher planes. First, he placed heaven as a higher plane where all angels will be rejected to if they use a certain degree of their power in a lower realm. As a higher plane, lower beings who are not dead would face a 99.99999% suppression in all stats if they managed to find entry. This suppression to lower beings also makes all the angels in heaven right now have all their stats multiplied by ten million times.
With that, all heavens shook as all angels began to rapidly increase in power. Even the now infinite Seven Heavens have their powers vastly multiplied. Now, they could wipe out thousands of universes in a single attack, becoming stronger than all the primordials right now. After the shaking ended, the higher ups of heaven began their first major meeting since their creation in order to understand what happened and react accordingly.
As for the creator, he fashioned more planes and changed a few places. The Archaic Lands are turned into a higher plane with 60% suppression and all of its inhabitants have their stats and abilities multiplied by around four times. Hell is turned into a higher plane with 50% suppression and its lingering sin energy would slowly corrupt things into demonic forms before becoming a bona fide demon. Hell would be connected to a new plane I call the Abyss, a realm where the sin energy is so strong that it forms a bluish or white mist.
The Abyss is an endless chasm with layers upon layers of cursed stone and condensed crystals of darkness and evil. This is the homeland of the Abyssals, the more primeval, violent and twisted version of demons. Unlike others, the Abyssals are not rejected by lower realms but have a limit to how many can be present in a realm at a time. An Abyssal is at least ten times stronger than the average demon and, the attacks from a wicked entity would only heal and strengthen them.
Also unlike their more civilized and ordered counterparts, Abyssals cannot battle physically as their true forms are incapable of leaving the Abyss itself. They could only manifest as whispers, thoughts and grant power through avatars or vessels. However, the Abyssals are also trustworthy and straightforward. They possess a degree of pride that prevents them from doing tricks which are perceived by them as the actions of lower beings.
Demons will become Abyssals if they are consumed by their own power and darkness or by staying in the Abyss for two long. The suppression in the Abyss is 99.9%, making all of its inhabitants naturally a thousand times stronger. Else than the Abyssals, darkness or evil corrupted flora also thrives within the eternal dusk. Rare materials for darkness related things are so common that even pebbles are harder to find.
At the bottom of the abyss would be Tehom. The primordial void that is under Nihilo's command is the bottom of the abyss. Else than the Abyss, there is also the Shadow Plane. The Shadow Plane is a realm between Sheol and the Abyss. Only Shades can exist here and only evil shades and animal shades are sent to the Shadow Plane. It's suppression is at 35% and because of that, its inhabitants are naturally almost six and a quarter times stronger than usual.
Only demons and Abyssals can open passages or bring anything in or out of the Shadow Plane. Next, is the higher plane of Kryotus, a realm with temperatures far below absolute zero. It is a realm so cold that mana could barely move. Kryotus is home to all the ice elementals and titans who I will move to that realm.
Due to the mana freezing nature of the realm, mid level undead and below would immediately be broken and high level undead would be trapped in permanent paralysis. Also, only mages with divinity could cast any spell or use mana at all. I also imparted the rule and complete control of this realm to Ymir. Its suppression is at 90%, multiplying its inhabitants abilities by 100 times.
Next, I made the higher plane of Nagaloka, the place where I intend to have dragons be born at. This realm is similar to the world but is a thousand times larger. Its suppression is at 70% and its power multiplier to inhabitants is almost five times. Unlike other realms, its lower grade inhabitants will not be rejected by lower realms in order to have dragons roam the world.
I gave Nagaloka's command to the Dragon Primordial Tiamat and soon to two other dragon primordials that I will create. Speaking of Tiamat, I haven't been back at my new home for almost two billion years. I hope that she's not mad or worried that I've been gone for that long, then again, she'd only be worried since all of my creations would never get mad at me. After Nagaloka, I made a few other higher planes three of them being Thassias, Yahbenon and Fantasia.
Thassias is a higher realm with 30% suppression but with a 30 times multiplier. It is an ocean with infinite area and depth, with the deeper waters containing the strongest of beings. The realm possesses a sky that reaches a billion miles above the surface. Beyond that, is the mirror which will instantly teleport one to a random place in the realm's surface or reef areas.
This realm belongs to water elementals, massive sea monsters and other water related entities. There are continent sized or planet sized islands floating on the sea which are actually massive sea monsters that allows land life to exist. These 'islands' are actually only the monster's 'shell' while the beast itself could be hundreds or even millions of miles below. Also, the beasts movements will not affect the island due to an anomaly produced by the excess mana the beasts release.
Deeper down, similar beasts exist with underwater worlds and continents which allow massive reefs and hyper biospheres to exist as they are at least a thousand times larger than their surface counterparts. This realm is given to Thalassa who could freely regulate and edit the world as she wishes. This higher plane would not suppress or reject any water related entity at all.
Yahbenon will act as the realm of the gods which I left empty since they can do whatever they want there. Their suppression is 99.9999% which provides them with a million times multiplier for the gods and their servants. As for Fantasia, it is a realm of dreams and thoughts where all dreams, thoughts and nightmares exist physically and logically here. If enough entities believe that something exists, the object of belief would be able to manifest outside of Fantasia temporarily.
In the rarest cases, the object could be completely independent of Fantasia and exist in the believed realm with its believed attributes. This is what I would call as Faith creations, which could create even gods but do not originate from a higher plane. Faith created gods are known as Ascended Gods who were created through religion and could freely change the world as they do not face rejection from lower realms. However, these Ascended Gods would face a thousand times worse suppression in higher realms.
After creating those higher planes, I decided to create the Primordial Lands and amplify their power once more. All the primordials are scattered and I wouldn't want them to accidentally interfere with the natural growth of my world more than they have too. I have a plan to make sure that the gods are not aware of the primordials at all. The only ones who should know are the Seven Heavens and people that I might trust in the future when I go adventuring and stuff.
The primordial lands is a great empty of fifth dimensional space which will be the home of all the primordials. First, I sent them all to the empty land and then multiplied all their stats by infinity and more, to the point where their existence is equal to a certain amount of fifth dimensional galaxies. In the great empty, the formerly sleeping seven are immediately awakened, meeting new entities before them. Gaia met her elder siblings, same goes with Ananke, the Fates, the Nornir, Tiamat and the awakened Yam.
Yam and Gaia knew who the rest were while Ananke, The Fates and The Nornir only knew each other and Yam, not Gaia. The silence between the almighty beings is broken by a question from Ouranos, "Who are all of you?" Gaia is first to reply, "I am Gaia, the sheperd of evolution. Daughter of the creator and your youngest sister." The eldest primordial looked at Yam to confirm, in which he nodded. Despite being asleep, Yam could spread his consciousness when he focuses so he is completely aware of who exists.
When he searches, they would sense him and therefore, everyone knows him. Despite that, the hostile Perses asked, "And how do we know that Yam isn't lying or is captured?" Tiamat felt angry when Gaia claimed to be the creator's daughter. As far as she knows, only she and Yam are his children. Despite suspecting the fire primordial, she agreed with his viewpoint.
"Because I'm not brother." Bluntly said Yam. Then, Tallum stepped forward, "Are you sure Yam? Do not lie or I will personally kill you." When she heard that, Tiamat's scales begin to glow purple as anger began to rise. 'How dare they accuse my brother. They are nothing but pretenders, false children and they dare accuse my younger brother!'
As more of the seven begin to accuse Yam, Tiamat growled, "How dare you accuse Yam! Only Yam and I are the creator's children, you must all die for your blasphemy!" The dragon primordial rammed against Tallum who was taken by surprise. Ever since their recent elevation, only Ouranos and Ananke have any chance at beating her. This loser is only slightly over half her strength, so she easily outmatches him.
She relentlessly fired destruction and pure chaos energy at the metal primordial whose metal shields and creations are quickly corroded. Suddenly, another figure rammed at her. It was Thalassa who used her spear to push her and let Tallum recover. "Thank you sister." Said the regenerating primordial. "No problem metal man."
After being flung a hundred miles away, she recovered and roared in anger, "How dare you strike me! Suffer for your insolence deciever!" Tiamat used more of her power and formed an endless barrage of destruction missiles that converged on the two. Almost immediately, the empty space is lit up with bright purple bursts of light that crash upon the shields the two primordials created. As their shields began to crack, the dragon smiled in triumph and released more missiles.
Seeing his siblings being gradually overpowered by the attack, Ouranos decided to interfere along with Perses but for different reasons. The other primordials including the recently arrived Nihilo simply watched and casted barriers when necessary. Their combined strength protected them from the angry dragon primordial's relentless attacks. Despite being an overpowering attack, it consumed stamina based on percentage. The dragon is tiring out and it allowed Perses to fight equally against her.
From behind, Ouranos summoned a massive storm of gases with a calming effect to allow him to speak with the angry dragon. After a few minutes, the gases began to calm her down and her movements began to slow. Seeing this as opportunity, the fire primordial performed an uppercut and rapidly kicked her belly. Rudely awakened, the dragon began to attack with more fury and overwhelmed the smaller primordial.
As more bruise like spots appeared on the primordial's body, the dragon increased her pace and used much of her power and stamina in an attempt to kill him violently. "Hahahahaha! Feel my wrath deceiver!" As much as the others want to interfere, Ouranos told them to stay out of it and they remembered that the creator chose Ouranos as their leader for a reason. So, they respected his judgement and did not interfere.
Perses is badly beaten, his body being crushed by the dragon primordial's claw. "Any last words insolent one?" The fire primordial had no more strength to even speak as he felt his soul slowly leave his body. Just before Tiamat could crush the primordial and end him, a voice boomed throughout the realm. "Tiamat, spare your brother's life." Turning her heads toward the voice's direction, she found the creator floating silently in the void.
She immediately let him go and prostrated, followed by the rest. "As you all know, you were teleported here and all of you suddenly became infinitely more powerful." Said the creator. "Well, I did that in order to let my plans work. Which involves all of you staying here, being unknown. But, you will still have your duties which shall be done remotely in order to hide your existence. Any questions?"
In unison, they all replied, "No, creator. Your will be done." "Good. You can do anything you want in this realm. I created it for all of you and only for all of you, just make yourselves at home." "Thank you, almighty creator." Said the primordials simultaneously. The creator then left, in order to sleep once more and enter the silurian age for more titans and sightseeing. As for the primordials of this land, they began fashioning the realm to their wants as their children also begin to appear.
