Atlas, wielding his formidable powers over the forces of nature as a High Druid, dedicated his days to the meticulous care of the gardens within the second ring of Heaven. Tasked by His Holiness as the esteemed guardian of this realm, known affectionately as The Ring of Generosity, Atlas presided over a verdant expanse unparalleled in its bounty. Here, amidst sprawling forests and fertile plains, lay the beating heart of Heaven's agricultural prowess, earning the second ring its alternative moniker—The Ring of Agriculture. Within this vast domain, the denizens of Heaven found sustenance aplenty, as the fields stretched as far as the eye could see, a testament to Atlas's unwavering stewardship. Unlike the towering edifices that adorned the Seventh Ring, where skyscrapers pierced the sky above in a testament to ambition, the Second Ring remained a sanctuary of simplicity and abundance, where the rhythm of life unfolded in harmony with the natural world. Atlas was surveying his realm when a messenger angel appeared.
Messenger Angels are mid-tier angels that look like human heads flying with a pair of wings at the back. It speaks in a ringing high-pitched voice akin to a ringing bell. Although it may sound inaudible, the message is sent telepathically, this is so that anyone eavesdropping wouldn't understand the message, and only the intended person or persons would be able to receive it; thus, Atlas could understand every word.
"A summon from His Holiness, I see. I shall be there this instant."
With that, the messenger angel flew up into the sky with a holy glow. Atlas is 60 meters tall so he couldn't go to the palace himself, so he created a golem as small as 3 meters that looked like a miniature version of him. Atlas has a direct link to the golem's mind; thus, he would be able to send this golem as his proxy. He uses a teleportation spell to send the golem into the throne room.
In the throne room was His Holiness sitting at the throne, rays of light from the ceiling bathing him in a holy glow. Besides His Holiness to his right stood Opeter and Sebastian to His left, it is the same scene from before. He knelt in front of His Holiness and prostrated himself. A few moments later, the other guardians started to arrive and also did the same thing.
Lucent observed all of his guardians, 'System Menu'. A golden window appeared in front of him displaying his stats, when he focused his attention on Opeter, a different display in the window appeared, revealing Opeter's stats.

'Why is Sebastian's Race Level Unknown?' Lucent thought to himself, looking intensely at Sebastian.
"Is everything alright Your Holiness?" Sebastian asked bringing Lucent out from his deep contemplation.
"Ah yes, I'm all right." Lucent cleared his throat. "Atlas and Opeter, As the guardian of the 2nd Ring also known as the ring of agriculture and Opeter who oversees everything, how long will our food supply last? How long will the land be irrigatable?"
"By my calculations Your Holiness, the food stocks and reserves could last us hundreds of years without producing new crops or harvesting meat," Opeter said.
"As for the second ring's capability of producing crops and livestock Your Holiness, with me tending to the field and enriching the ground with my magic, the land will be useful for centuries as well," Atlas said in a voice that sounded like an earthquake with a multiple different pitch.
"What about if you don't tend to the lands, how long will the lands be irrigatable?" Lucent asks contemplating his tone of voice.
"Even if I don't tend to the land, it would still be more than a century before it starts to show signs of overuse. But if we introduce crop rotation Your Holiness and proper soil management, then it will be extended to a few more centuries." Atlas replied.
'Well shit,' Lucent thought to himself. 'I thought that I might have stumbled upon a golden opportunity here, my plan was to ask these two some questions about the land and our food supply and I was expecting them to tell me that heaven is overpopulated and we need more land. I would have then suggested that we take a small amount of land from the new world and cultivate it to our advantage, but I guess I need a different approach now to take a foothold on the new world.'
'Why does His Holiness seem to be disappointed at something?' Opeter contemplated. 'Is it something perhaps that I missed? Or was this a test of how well we know and manage our duties? Did we fail? Or was this a ploy to start exploring and ceasing lands from the new world? No, it can't be that simple. I am one of the smartest beings in Heaven, my equals would be Gabriel, Vlad, and Romon but all of us are a speck of dust compared to His Holiness's intellect. There must be a different angle to this that I can't fathom."
There is in fact no other angle to Lucent's thinking and Opeter is dead on, but Lucent is unaware as well as Opeter.
"I am pleased that Heaven has such capability, it is all thanks to you Guardians who work tirelessly." Lucent praised. 'Although my attempt failed, I could still spin this to what I wanted originally –a plausible cause to go down to the new world.' Lucent thought. "Now then, Romon, tell me what else have you learned from the new world, your report will be the basis of what Heaven will do moving forward."
"Yes, Your Holiness," Roman replied a wicked smirk crossing his lips.
