In the darkness of the void, a humanoid being made of light looked at a panel that looked like a computer screen with great concentration.
The name of this being was Alexander, previously a prestigious biologist and geneticist on earth, while he was in his laboratory he lost consciousness and then appeared here, with this strange screen in front of him.
Alex has basically become a god.
How could this happen? It's simple actually, every now and then some mortal souls rise to godhood after death from some abandoned worlds, and are tasked with creating their own world and race to rise in power as gods.
That's just Alex's situation, the only difference is that he has preserved the original memories of him, unlike the rest of his companions with a similar fate.
At first he was hyperventilating, but after a while he finally calmed down.
Now, what he has to do is create his own world with the help of the system, just like the rest of his companions.
First of all, he needs to create his race, an intelligent race that will be the key to his rise through the ranks of the gods.
The creation panel was not similar to a game screen as he had initially thought, instead it was an incredibly complex system of codes and algorithms to create a race from scratch.
"Pretty interesting", thought Alex, his scientific spirit lit up when he saw this system, it was as if the best laboratory in the world was presented to him wrapped in a gift box.
Alex has not yet realized how big his luck is, although the rest of the gods also gain knowledge to be able to use the panel from the beginning, he is definitely not comparable to a great scientist like Alex, and they also do not have the imagination of an earthling addicted to cinema and science fiction movies.
After thinking about it, Alex decided to make a list of what he considered to be a priority before starting the creation of his race.
First, according to the system, the world will have a magical energy to drive evolution, so you will have to modify the energy first to be compatible with the race.
Second, I would like it to be a race similar to the Kryptonians, the race of superman, although it will be complicated, I think I can do it.
Third, I'll have to review and make small changes until I'm satisfied, perfectionist that I am, I know it will take a long time.
Fourth, the topography of the planet and the flora and fauna, although the system can do it automatically, I prefer to do it myself, and, again, it will take a long time.
As for how I could adapt the planet afterwards, divine planets (the ones that belong to a God) absorb energy from the void to evolve little by little, it is also possible to accelerate the evolution by sacrificing souls and bodies of gods (although it is possible not to find another god in tens of thousands of years), so nothing to worry about.
That said, I should start with magical energy.
A strand of white energy appeared on the screen, surrounding it were tens of millions of incredibly complex equations that even Alex had a hard time understanding.
"Damn, this is going to be harder than he thought", Alex thought with frustration, but excited at the new challenge that was presented to him.
Even with his processing speed multiplied a thousand times by his divine nature and his decades of experience as a scientist, it took several months for him to comprehend it, it basically boils down to this.
[Universal Evolution Energy]
Functions: promote the evolution of organic and inorganic matter towards higher forms of existence.
Properties: capable of being absorbed by living beings for cultivation, capable of giving consciousness to inorganic matter if the right conditions are met.
It's basically like this, Alex thought it was surprisingly similar to ki or mana from fantasy novels, a bit simple, but quite effective.
Alex thought deeply as he looked at the rows and rows of equations that stretched for miles, he already had an idea how to improve this energy, but it would take time, he didn't even know if it would be possible, the only sure thing is that I will be in this darkness for a long time, a long time.
"Damn, I need a coffee", his caffeine addiction was making an appearance again, but in the absence of coffee, he could only get down to business, he would ensure that his world had coffee in abundance.
…
In the expanse of the void, a small group of figures idly conserved as they sat around a small table.
"So, have there been any interesting new worlds in your regions lately?" A giggly female voice came from a small, slim figure.
"No, they're all idiots who settle for the basics, and the few who try to do anything else do it terribly wrong," said a stocky figure several meters tall.
"Just absorbing them, those idiots are useless," another figure casually commented.
"I can't, I need cannon fodder for the next war," the stocky figure sighed helplessly.
"Oh right, the war, I almost forgot," the other figure scratched his head.
"We can't all stay in the rear like you, asshole," the rest of the figures said angrily.
The figure shrugged, not caring about the looks of his companions.
"Anyway, I've been happy chatting with you, make sure you don't lose power, or I might go hunting you," the female figure laughed before disappearing.
"Stupid bitch, you'll be begging under my dick one day," the stocky figure sighed and disappeared too.
The others laugh, aware of the hatred between the two, if it wasn't for the fact that they are similar in power, they would have already torn each other apart.
One by one, all the figures waved their goodbyes and disappeared, leaving only the lazy figure sitting in the void.
The figure stretched lazily, yawned, and also disappeared, disappointed that he hadn't heard anything interesting today.
