Carter distanced all his planets, arranging them in their orbital paths. To balance the system, he absorbed two-thirds of the mass from each of his eleven colossal planets, ensuring they wouldn't disrupt the delicate gravitational pull. With everything in position, he released his sun at the center of the system, placing a gravitational lock around it to prevent alerting another cosmic worm.
"So, should I just proceed to make the planets habitable?"

The host only needs to give the command, and I will handle the process of transforming the solar system and integrating it as the host's main body. The procedure will take only a few years, during which all desolate planets will become habitable, fit for multiple alien races to coexist.
"Sounds good. Oh, and expand Planet Carter to the same size as the others. It's pretty small compared to the rest of my planets. Otherwise, proceed."
[Solar System Domain Procedure: Stage 1 initiating…]
Carter felt his consciousness detach from his god form, floating above his forming solar system. From this vantage, he observed the intricate transformation of his planets.
Each world began undergoing rapid changes, all the necessary steps to make them habitable were being executed simultaneously. His sun anchored them in stable orbits, and each planet began forming its own moon large enough to maintain balance.
His first planet—his original body—was already thriving with life, but with the command carter had given the system it started to expand. Its continents stretched outward, seas widened, and new islands emerged. With Carter's gravity control no longer maintaining it, the planet had now needed and began forming its own moon.
Three years passed—an exceptionally short amount of time for such a cosmic process. And the transformation was now complete, Carter gazed down at his solar system. The planets, now fully habitable, radiated a beauty that left him in awe.
[Initiating Stage 2…]
An invisible barrier formed around the solar system. But it wasn't a shield—it was more like the entire system fused into a single, unified domain.
Carter's consciousness shifted again, but instead of returning to his god form, it transferred to encompass the entire solar system.
"This feeling... it's even weirder than when I first became a meteor," Carter muttered, overwhelmed by the sensation.
He tried to make sense of it. He didn't feel like any one planet, nor the sun. Instead, he was everything: the planets, the moons, the sun, and even the space within. His perception expanded infinitely, allowing him to observe everything inside his domain from countless viewpoints simultaneously without missing a single detail. His Zone Vision had evolved to extraordinary heights, spanning the equivalent of three hundred solar systems. Nothing could happen within this expanse without his knowing.
[Solar system creation complete.]
Carter had now transcended the form of a planet, becoming something far greater. The sheer magnitude of power coursing through him felt like an unstoppable storm—a force of chaos. Yet, even with this overwhelming potential for destruction, another feeling took precedence.
The sensation of creation.
It was intoxicating, far surpassing any thrill of annihilation. The more Carter evolved, the stronger his urge became to nurture and preserve the life he had painstakingly brought into existence. What once felt like an arbitrary goal had become his defining purpose.
