He explained his situation to the creature who felt thrilled to come across a peculiar situation such as this, the creature was smart enough to understand the opportunity in front of it.
The creature made a request to the sun god asking to mate with him, the sun god easily agreed but now faced a new problem which is how the process would go.
The sun god humanoid form and the creature form makes it impossible for both to mate so the sun god took his primal form which is a huge flaming bird that resembles a peacock.
The form almost took the life of the creature, if the sun god didn't react fast enough and retain his aura and the flames around his body. The creature would have turned into ashes
Now they both have the same form, it was easy for them to mate and the creature got pregnant immediately after their first mating session but the creature also fell into a deep sleep after that.
Crepuscular now found a way to create life so he wanted to continue doing it, he found other female magical birds to mate with, but found out that none of them got pregnant.
He was confused for a while and thought that he was doing something wrong, so with his connection to the world he contacted Nana. Nana then told him that the first creature he got pregnant was being protected by her.
He is a divine being so for another creature whose life level isn't high enough to be easily impregnated by him should be impossible and even if he succeeds in impregnating a lower/weaker creature, the amount of energy needed for the successful birth of the child couldn't be provided by its mother.
The reason why the first creature got pregnant fast was because according to Nana the first sperm released by us gods into any fertile egg is extremely potent, but after that it becomes trial and effort.
Crepuscular then understood that the creature's deep sleep was a defense mechanism to preserve the new life inside it and at the same time giving its full life energy to make sure the child survives.
That means the creature will immediately die after giving birth.
After that crepuscular stopped talking and looked at me before saying " The aura you felt was my child and the first demigod of this world"
"From my observation, it takes 10 years before a demigod is born," Crepuscular said after that.

My first thought after hearing all that was "I am going to be a father" and from the looks of things the mother isn't going to be anything human.
The weird thing was the idea didn't feel or seem repulsive to me but being a human before, it came off a bit weird. My last world had stories about how gods are booty warriors, sleeping with everything that had a hole in it.
Never in my wildest dreams did I think i will be a warrior myself, the difference between us is that i won't be like them chasing after holes instead i am a warrior to fulfill an obligation.
The thought of finding a human female crossed my mind but was quickly thrown back because Nana made it clear that the humans aren't to be touched for now.
I don't want to find out what would happen if that instruction isn't obeyed, if the other gods haven't done anything yet, it shows that they don't want to find out either what happens to the person who didn't listen.
"Since we are on the topic of demigods, I have to inform you both that I went through the same process as crepuscular but the result was different from him" Jaus said.
"Two demigods were the result of my copulation, even Nana herself can't explain why it happened but we also understood that it came with a price"
"The mother of the two half gods turned to ash immediately after birth" our speculation was that the two half gods sucked away every energy their mother had, to the extent of not even leaving her a complete body.
Jaus paused for a while " The reason I wasn't in the division of land was because of my divinity which has to do with water, since there is no other god with such divinity. Most of the body of water in this world is mine"
" I have said my piece, Keles will say the rest" With that Jaus went silent and leaned back into his throne.
When Jaus mentioned Keles, Ikenga's attention turned to the goddess of death whose presence can be easily ignored if you aren't looking directly at her.
Keles saw everyone looking at her and a purple light couldn't help but shine in her eyes.
"Jaus situation on the division of land is similar to mine but it is not" Cold voice like whisper came from Keles"
"When i was born, a strange thing happened in this world known only by me and Nana, until i informed Jaus and Crepuscular about it"
"My birth gave birth to a different dimension different from the small realm we are born in"
"The dimension was a cold and gray place perfect for my divinity, the creation of the dimension caused my own realm to merge with it"
"The combination of both my realm and the dimension opened up an unknown gate, causing all the dead spirits or souls that hasn't vanished since Nana gained consciousness to rush into my new realm"
"When Nana gained consciousness, Mana became available to the world but the huge wave of Mana made the dead souls and spirits that was able to disappear after death stay in the world"
"Nana said she didn't know what to do with the souls but with the appearance of my new realm, the dead spirits seems to find a new home so they all flooded into it"
"I have a lot to deal with in my realm so getting a new land don't seem advantageous to me but the concept of creating new being ourselves caught my interest"
Keles went ahead to talk about her process of creation which was totally different from the other two gods.
She was a goddess and for her, there was no way to let a creature lower than her to defile her even if it was meant to fulfill Nana's request. But she also understood that Nana's request must be fulfilled one way or the other, so she got to thinking.
During her time contemplating on finding a way out of her situation, she came across two unique souls in her new realm and this encounter brought about an absurd idea to her.
The idea was her last card since nothing she thought of made sense and if this didn't work, she would have to find a lower creature to mate with and kill the creature after it fulfills its purpose.
With a new conviction, she grabbed the two souls, turning them into two liquid drops. She then looked for two human bodies that had died for about an hour.
She extracted every essence from both bodies now mummifying them. Now she has everything she needs. Keles sat on the throne in her realm and infront of her hovering, are the four liquid drops needed for her plan.
Her idea was to incubate the two souls she found but souls are immaterial and there is no way it will stay in the womb but the two blood essence she extracted is the catalyst needed for the souls to stay in her womb.
Keles went ahead and merged the liquids together,during the combination she dropped her own golden blood in it and that helped bring her the result she wanted.
The liquids now turned into two red crystals with a bit of golden light in the middle. Keles sat on her throne and admired her creation, the admiration didn't go on for a long time though because she swallowed the two crystals. Now they rest in her womb.
Ikenga stared blankly at the god of death who was explaining her process of creation, the absurdity of what she did was a bit much for him to understand, he understood the concept but it can be as easy as she makes it to be.
"Has anyone else tried creation the way Keles does? Ikenga asked.
"When she told us about what she did, me and crepuscular wanted to replicate it," Jaus replied.
"How did it go" this time Mahu asked
"Nothing worked, we lost thousands of souls trying to find a way to replicate it" Crepuscular sighed while replying.
Keles then took over and said " The experimentation led us to believe that my divinity was the reason why the process succeeded, None of you guys have an understanding of things that pertains death like me"
Hearing that made me a bit disappointed since I thought that this method is much more acceptable than the other. At the same time I looked at Mahu who was also dissatisfied with the answer she got, I am guessing the creature picked by her won't live to talk about it.
