In the beginning...
The universe was not like how it is now. There was emptiness. The sound of Om was echoing in all directions.
The sound kept increasing and became so intense the 'primordial ocean' tore apart the emptiness and came fore.
Vishnu the persevere, an incarnation of all universe, came into being.
From his spiritual energy, Vishnu created the progenitor of all living beings and gave him the authority of creation and ordered him to create living beings.
Why he gave Brahma gave this order because of the loneliness he experienced in the emptiness.
Soon after giving birth to Brahma to create life on earth, Vishnu produced Lord Shiva, 'the destroyer, from his forehead and gave him the authority of destruction to end the journey of the varied forms of life. An incarnation of destruction energy that tore apart the emptiness, an absolute end.
With the help of his boundless knowledge and power, Brahma created planets to live, the sun for guidance, air to breathe, and water to nurture newly created life forms.
After millions of years, primitive life forms evolved and started roaming around the earth as the planet's most dominant species. These species were later known by mankind as dinosaurs.
Brahma was happy as well as disappointed with the result of his work. The planet was brimming with life, but these dinosaurs were at their apex and could not evolve. The plants and animals who tried to grow were devoured by them. They are far from the ideal life form Brahma thought of when he created them.
With the help of his power, he isolated all the lifeforms that could evolve into a more intelligent species and destroyed all the apex life forms. After the planet became stable, he released all the lifeforms back to the earth. The released lifeforms slowly evolved and started living their life peacefully.
But this was still not enough for him. He felt something lacking like ambitions or a will to improve themselves to live more comfortably in this world.
He didn't understand what to do, so he went to Lord Vishnu to ask for his advice.
''The ideal life form you have been seeking cannot be made roughly.''
''Use your authority to gather all the soul energy of the universe in one place. With my authority, I will refine them so they would be stable and will not lose their consciousness of their power.''
''But gathering all sources will also kill all the lifeforms living on earth.''
''Whoever takes birth is sure to die. With the current 'system', the life forms living on earth will evolve and eventually be overwhelmed by their powers as they reach their apex. They will mascara everyone until no one is left alive.''
''I understand your reasoning, but what is the guarantee that the new beings will not turn the same as them?''
''We can't guarantee what will to them happen; we can only do what we can in the present and hope for the best.''
''Hearing those words from the person who has the authority to see all makes me worry more about them.''
''Rest assured, I can guarantee the new lifeforms will prosper and not turn out as their predecessor. They will reach new heights and achieve great feats as long as they are nurtured well as long as an anomaly does not occur. ''
''Anomaly, what Anomaly you speak of, my lord? in this whole universe, who is strong enough to influence fate than the trinity?''
''As I said, the future is not certain; we can only do our best in the present and hope it will turn out as we wanted. With the addition of these new life forms in the universe, it will be more difficult to foresee future events as these new life forms will greatly influence fate in the future.''
''That is why I will change the 'system' itself. In the current system, if a lifeform is killed, its soul energy is absorbed by the who killed it; eventually, this power overwhelms the user and becomes a savage.''
''In the new system, the new lifeforms will have a natural talent to use soul energy, and when a living being dies, its soul energy will be cleansed and will go on a cycle of life and death again.''
''What kind of future waits for them, my lord?''
''In the future, as the wheel of time moves forward, little by little, the living beings will lose the talent to use their powers after generations. Their bodies will no longer be able to use these otherworldly powers that influence nature and fate. But it will be fine; they will find their own strength and overcome the challenges.''
''Such is the future for them..'' Brahma mumbles
''Are you sad?''
''A little, yes, but I am relieved to hear they will be fine. I thank you, Lord Vishnu, now I understand what will be the best vessel to harbour these soules.''
With their authority of destruction and creation, respectively, Shiva destroyed all the living beings on the earth, and Brahma collected all the soul energy.
Using his authority of cosmic energy, Vishnu created a void in the universe where the soul energy will refine without any interference. He gathered all the power in an opening and gave it the shape of an egg. It was golden in colour with a tremendous amount of energy emanating.
''This is the cosmic egg. the soul energy gathered here is too unstable than I imagined it to be, and thus it will require a tremendous amount of time to stabilize.''
''How long are you talking about? Will it take years, decades, or centuries? Shiva asked.
''I am not certain; previously, I assumed it would take at least 5 to 7 centuries to complete the refining and start the crystallization process. But looking at it now, it might take a millennium just to stabilize. The process of refining and crystallization will come afterwards.''
''How did the impurities increase since they were destroyed by the Lord Shiva's authority? There should be no impurities in the first place. isn't it Lord Shiva
''Yes, they were destroyed by my authority. All the impurities were supposed to be destroyed along with their body. Only pure soul energy should remain. What are your thoughts about it on lord Vishnu?''
''This sudden increase of impurities is extraordinary. Even with the help of my authority, I can't see anything regarding this, but my inner feelings tell me that something or someone, either more powerful than us or completely opposite to us, is behind it. As such, we need to be prepared for anything.'' Vishnu replied with a concerned voice.
''Will that someone tries to capture or attack the cosmic egg?''
''No, that person will wait for the right time to show itself. Attacking the egg will cause problems for him.'' Vishnu replied with certainty.
''What problems are you referring to? Shiva asked
"First, he will lose his cover and reveal his identity before his big plan. Second, it will be more beneficial for him to attack after the egg is hatched.''
''Why?'' Brahma questioned.
''With the increase in population, the impurities will also increase, thus giving him more power,'' Shiva replied to Brahma's question.
''It seems you both have some clue about that person's identity,'' Brahma asked curiously.
Shiva and Vishnu looked at the eyes of each other and nodded.
''Yes, we have a slight hint of who that someone might be..''
''And if it's him, then we fear not only us but also the fate of the whole universe in danger,'' Shiva said, completing Vishnus's sentence.
''Who might that be?''
''He doesn't have a name. All we know about him is that he existed before the beginning of everything in that emptiness. When the primordial ocean tore the emptiness, a huge explosion occurred throughout the universe, and he just vanished without leaving a trace.'' Vishnu said in a harsh voice.
''We thought he was exterminated in the explosion caused by the destructive energy, but we were wrong. The most dangerous about him is his ability to corrupt time and the cosmos.''
''Such ability exists? How are we gonna deal with such ability if he attacks us? We would be useless none of our attacks will work on him.''
''The new life forms will be the ones who will do everything. They will be born with a natural talent to resist his curse to some extent, and Our powers are also not useless against him. It's only my speculation, but the explosion of destruction energy throughout the universe decreased his power soo much now he has to wait to recover his strength. The increase in impurities is slowly signed, but he is recovering his lost powers.''
