Lex disappeared from his spot, leaving the vast expanse of the void behind. In an instant, he reappeared at the Blank Point, the most secure and sacred location in the entire universe. Here, there were no matter no air, no dimensions, no time ,just an endless, pristine whiteness not affected by the laws of universe.
The Blank Point was unlike any other place. It wasn't bound by the reality of the universe; it was a white void beyond creation, where Lex could act freely without disrupting the balance he had spent centuries mastering. It was the perfect place for his next task.
As he walked through the unchanging white expanse, his thoughts focused. He envisioned a book in his mind , the book was vast and ancient, its pages shimmering with the essence of creation itself. The Book of Laws materialized before him, hovering in the void, radiating a faint, golden light.
This was no ordinary artifact. The Book of Laws was the foundation of the universe, the repository of every rule, every principle, every thread of reality that made existence possible.
Lex stepped closer As he reached out to the book, the book responded, opening its pages with a soft hum. Each page glowed with intricate symbols and shifting patterns, representing a different law of the universe. Time, Space, Life and Death, and countless others unfolded before him.
Lex brushed his hand over one of the pages of the book, his fingers brushing against the glowing symbols of Time. Instantly, he felt its weight ,the unyielding flow of seconds and centuries, the infinite cycles of beginnings and endings. With a mere thought, he could erase it, removing time from the universe entirely.
But what would happen then?
The universe might become timeless, its inhabitants frozen in an eternal moment, unaware of their suspension. Or, it might crumble, unable to sustain itself without the passage of time to regulate its existence.
He turned the pages, his mind racing as he considered other possibilities. If he erased Space, everything would collapse into a single point, a formless singularity. If he tampered with Life and Death, the cycle would break, leaving energy stagnant, unable to create or renew.
To alter one was to alter the universe itself, for better or worse.
Lex stood at the center of the universe,Before him floated the infinite expanse of Origin Energy, the primordial force that birthed everything. Its raw power was unparalleled, capable of elevating even the weakest existence into a being of overwhelming strength. Yet, its unrefined potency posed a problem.
"If I allow this energy to flow freely, it will bring chaos to the universe," Lex murmured to himself. "Even a single drop could create a being too powerful for the natural order."
He needed to come up with a solution,a way to regulate the Origin Energy, to dilute its overwhelming purity without losing its essence.
Closing his eyes, Lex extended his consciousness and envisioned a construct, a cosmic mechanism that could refine and downgrade the Origin Energy. Slowly, his vision began to take shape.
Lex began to make a millstone of vast proportions, its size dwarfing galaxies, suspended in the infinite expanse. Its design was complex, yet its function was simple: to grind the raw,Origin Energy into a weaker, more accessible state.
The lower stone,of the millstone was stationary and eternal. Lex etched it with rune laws, symbols of immense power that defined its purpose: The Law of Indestructibility ensured the millstone could never be destroyed, no matter the forces attacking it it will remain intact and if was somehow damaged he etched other law, The Law of Regeneration with this law it could repair itself in mere seconds or maybe instantly.
Next, the runner stone, the upper stone , it materialized above the lower stone . This stone was designed to rotate indefinitely, its motion powered by Lex's mastery over perpetual energy. He etched it with additional laws to maintain its endless rotation, creating a perfect synergy between the two stones.
At the middle part of the millstone, Lex shaped a funnel-like structure, designed to channel raw Origin Energy into the grinding mechanism. The energy, pure and raw, would be drawn through the funnel and ground between the two stones. As it passed through, the overwhelming potency of the energy would be stripped away, its purity refined into a more manageable state.
Lex injected a single strand of Origin Energy into the funnel, watching it as it flowed into the millstone. The runner stone began to rotate, an endless motion powered by the universal laws he had etched into its surface. As the energy passed between the stones, it was grounded down, its raw, chaotic essence tempered and weakened.
From the edges of the millstone, the refined and downgraded energy began to flow, radiating outward in shimmering waves. It spread throughout the universe like a gentle tide, its potency no longer overwhelming. This downgraded energy would permeate every corner of the universe , fueling life, growth, and evolution without threatening the balance.
Standing at the top of the Cosmic Millstone, Lex observed the steady flow of energy from the cosmic millstone. What had once been unrefined, overwhelming Origin Energy now radiated as a gentler, refined energy that he decided to call Cosmic Energy.Its potency was significantly lowered, its purity diminished, yet it retained its nurturing essence.
The energy moved outward, spreading across the universe ,"This energy will allow even the weakest creatures with potential to grow to become stronger ," Lex murmured, his eyes narrowing in thought. "But what about those already strong? What will challenge them, push them further to evolve?"
For the strongest beings, this Cosmic Energy would be little to weak , incapable of igniting their growth or aiding them . Without a system to regulate its accessibility and potency, the universe would stagnate. A balance was needed a way to distinguish the weak from the strong, ensuring the energy's purpose was fulfilled for all.
After contemplating for some time he came up with new idea,"what if he made realms where only the strongest could stay and this realms will have different concentration of Origin Energy,the higher the concentration of Origin energy the stronger its inhabitants and vice versa. These realms would serve as a holy place for the strong, places where they could thrive, increase their strength , and test their mastery of laws. But access to these realms would not be given freely. Only those whose strength reached a specific threshold were allowed to enter after test and trials.
