Chapter 4 (exploring and the first god)

Mind realm

I have nearly forgotten to collect my awards. I got six hundred MC for both of the major objectives, a hundred MC for both the secondary objectives, a hundred MC for the special achievement, and four hundred for the extremely rare special achievement. Having an overall balance of one thousand and three hundred MC.

And I ended up looking a bit at the store. I knew that the multiverse seed of order was expensive, but I was shocked that it cost sixteen quintillions.

I found out that multiverse items are more expensive overall. Well, at least for now, I did not find anything that I was interested in buying.

So, my trip began.

I was previously in the mind realm, because it was the first place, I went after the universe's creation. If I was to describe it, it was, although desolate, beautiful.

It awakens a sort of mind sense in you, it gives the unique sensation that the objects, even the inanimate, were telepathizing to you. It's like every grain of soil has a only thought: "I am the grain of soil!". It felt like every single thing greets you in your mind.

As I was now, a creator, which in itself was a stronger form of god, these things do not disturb me much. But I am sure that if I was still a human, it might have been a mind-breaking experience for me.

Think this realm will get the record of the worst place for meditations in the universe, or maybe there might be someone in the future who perceives it as an enlightening experience.

There was no sun. No moon. But there was light, created by the realm itself. Strangely enough, there were no shadows, as the light was a thought, but not a physical object.

And besides the barren soil. There was only one special place here. It was an enormous building, as tall as the empire state and as with an area as big as a city.

It has a massive square dome, it has some pillars of a very beautiful wood, that seems both sorts of alive and as strong as concrete.

But the walls appear to have a sort of holographic futuristic theme. The shelves were made of a weaker form of wood.

There currently were no books on the shelves, but if there were, I can intuitively tell that they would be semitransparent holographic things.

The dome appears to be made of crystal glass with some star drawings that seem to represent all the connection nodes it has with other places. I already checked these connections and they are in fact distributed in between the soil of the realm out of the building.

At last, the realm seems to be encircled by a sort of typhoon, with the central and only building being in the eye of the storm.

But strangely enough, the sky is not cloudy and the wind to not seem much strong.

I guess I will visit the law realm.

Law Realm

The law realm was quite exotic. It gives a different sensation. It gives a meager sensation of weakness, but not like you would pass out, but like you were a trivial existence in front of the mighty laws. The space as a whole seems like an eleventh-dimension enormous graph.

The laws were nodes of this graph. Part of the information strings rotates around the laws, somewhat containing them put in an irregular trajectory that encompasses all the extra dimensions of this space, and to some extent like a snake motion. The rest of the information nodes make the connections between the laws.

Each of the law radiates raw power, although they have diminutive sizes, in particular, the fire law, which was a mere sparkle, radiates gamma radiation and have a sort of absurd temperature.

You, the nonexistent reader I have in my mind, may ask, how can I know so much by just looking? It's a sort of "superpower" I got, because of my connection with the universe.

At last, there were the mythical strings some peculiar semitransparent structures that pass through space, like a sort of ghost that attaches itself to the laws. It is completely enveloped in mysticism, nonetheless, not even I am sure what this entails.

Now let's continue my little journey.

Mortal realm

Now I am in the mortal realm, which still does not have any mortal. I can see the mythic strings passing through space and trying to tie themselves to the present concepts of reality, but it seems most are withered, without anything to connect to yet.

The realm was very not big even with all the universe expansion, it merely was approximately eight times bigger than my previous life's solar system.

It was merely a lesser form of chaos without anything much entertaining to note. Just a giant nebula, with a lot of gaseous ki, and a little less vapor of mana and divine energy.

So I threw myself into the river of energy and souls.

Fairy realm

Using the river of energy and souls I transported myself to the fairy realm. It was not a comfortable experience the river was quite erratic.

There were not any souls there yet, seems like I will have to create them from scratch, something that I have no idea how to do yet. It mixed the liquid mana and divine energy with the gaseous qi.

Sometimes the divine energy would solidify in some small pieces, one of which nearly perforated the eye of my avatar. It reminded me that I should envelop myself with a barrier.

Finally, the river branch entered the fairy realm. There is not any sun in the sky or moon or stars at all, but somehow the sky was bright, just like the mind realm. There was not any sort of concept that put pressure on any being like the mind and law realm.

The realm consisted of a giant plain that forms a diverse forest that only has trees. No fungi exist, or any bacteria at all, or even a simple bush.

The trees were very big, some of the bigger ones being more than five hundred meters tall, about one thousand six hundred and forty feet.

Their fruits were delicious and richly nourish one with qi, mana, and divine energy. But not all plants have fruits some few only have seeds that fall out of them. All the trees seemed to be sort of immortal, not aging at all, but without any thought of their own. Most of the fruits, were in fact, seedless.

The bigger ones seem to have their roots attracted to the river banks, whereas the smaller ones have their roots attracted to the logs or roots of the bigger one, acting as parasites; even smaller doing the same but with the less small ones, and this cycle continues gradually until the smallest trees of the forest. Sometimes the energy from the fruits would concentrate in the soil forming a sort of veins-like structure, that sometimes connected and dispersed in the river branches or main river, while in others they would incubate new trees.

Crazily enough, even with all those insane consumption of energy, the river of energy and souls was quite far from withering.

After walking through the realm, I got lucky enough to encounter a fairy.

The fairy was female. She has one point two meters in height, about three point nine feet. She has big wings attracted to her back, that was translucent purple, with blood capillaries that were translucent white.

Apparently, my universe fairies have anatomy that quite resembles a human one, probably 'cause I was human before.

Though besides wings, fairies don't have wisdom teeth, auricular muscles, a type of muscle that helps some people to move their ears; coccyx, appendix, and by what I can tell any male will never ever have nipples.

The wings control the qi flow in the air to make it densely back itself below them, creating an intense air resistance that makes fairies fly.

She was in her teens by what I can tell. Fairies entered their adolescence at the same age as a human, but it only ends when they are in their fifties. As the first female fairy, she seems to have gotten a way to intuitively speak in something that can only be called fairy language.

I can intuitively speak in it as well, perks of being the creator. She wears a self-made tunic made of tree bark.

"What are you?"She asked, interrupting her meditation. Clearly surprised of seeing some other being that resembles a fairy like her, but that is not quite one.

Until now, she thought she was alone in this world, with the exception of the male fairy that she intuitively knows existed, but have never ever met before.

Probably because the fairy realm was the size of a continent.

"I am... Hmm. Well, I am Raziel. " I thought a bit about this name. It is a name of Aramaic origin, which in some "translations" means god is my secret. I think it gives a mysterious touch to myself." I am known as the anatomy creator. But who are you?"

"I am... I don't have a name yet. I am a fairy." She says.

"What about Ana, meaning favored grace?"

"I like it. Thank you."

"You're welcome"

And then we talk a little more. She told me about her day-to-day routine, she usually opens holes with pointy rocks in the trees and extracts their sap. But sometimes she eats fruits that fall from the trees. She told me about this instinctive desire she has of controlling the rivers of the realm, but that she still is too weak to do.

And that's why she meditates every single day to try to get a better hold of it. Lastly, she told me about her quest to founding the only male fairy in the realm. Yes, although fairies were created, the multiverse order seed only made them in the most minimal quantity.

Then, we started traveling together and after some months, with my help, we finally found the so-called male fairy that I named Shanda. Shanda is the Latin transcribed version, of an Indian name that means fierce or passionate in Sanskrit.

He was taller than Ana, with one point thirty-eight meters of height, about four point five feet tall, in this time frame Ana has grown only some few centimeters or inches if you prefer.

He was wearing only a male skirt made of the same material of Ana's tunic and had an eight-pack abs showing. His lifestyle was a bit different from Ana's.

Even though he tried to control the river flows, he attempt to do it in some very peculiar ways, like swimming to try to change the river flow or trying to challenge the river to a fight.

The second went obviously unanswered, as the river does not have sentience. He even tried to command the trees to control it, for he was the(self-proclaimed) king of the fairy world; which also went unheeded.

He usually spends nearly an hour climbing the biggest of trees just to get their fruits, that according to him are the sweetest and most tasty, while the ones that did not mature yet were a little salty, perfect for lunch and dinner. He was a bit of a musclehead and a genius in his own right.

While Ana advanced in the path of mind and created, without knowing, a path of mind and mana, that with more time and dedication might lead to the appearance of the first mages; Shanda unwittingly created a path of body and mana that might lead in the future to the first magic warriors or battle mages.

Weeks, months, and then years passed.

Ana and Shanda become closer and started dating. So I thought it was finally time to suggest an idea that I have years ago.

At this moment, Ana was preparing to start a meditation session and Shanda was starting his workout regime that we developed together, which combines perfectly: bodybuilding, aerobic exercises, yoga, and some fighting styles.

In spite of the fact that I was probably not an expert in non of those in my past life, I know a bit about all of them.

With my anatomy aspect, I could fill in the missing gaps and combine them. Yoga was an exception because I could only decipher the physical part, and nothing about the meditation, which was, in fact. an essential, if not the main part of it.

Getting a nerfed yoga as the result, that seems more like a stretch with breath control. So sadly I could not help Ana much, with her mind training, not that she was not doing very well on her own.

"Shanda and Ana, I think I know a way of allowing both of you to control the river together." I said to them.

"How?" they asked excited, but not surprised. At this time, they already think of me as a sort of sage that accompanies them on their journey.

"First you should touch each other hand."

"Done."they said.

"Now close your eye."

I could see and interact with souls, nothing in my universe could easily hide from me, but my understanding of them was close to null.

And they were essentials to the creation of life without them even if I created a perfect working body it will simply not work, like a cellphone without a battery.

With the only exemption being the true form, I could understand and also know how it connects itself to the soul and modes the rest of a creator soul.

I was able to create a nerfed version of it, a god's true form; because it was a physical manifestation of a soul, that way being connected with my anatomy aspect. So that's what I did.

I created a true form of an androgenous fairy god of the river of energy and souls, it was basically a giant genderless fairy that seems to have a body made of mana, qi, divine energy, and some points bright points that seems to represent souls. It appears like it was a flowing river with a fairy form.

Ana isn't supposed to be this god, nor is Shanda. They are supposed to be this god together. I connected both their souls to this true form.

An interesting phenomenon happens, that action seems to have cataclysm a torrent of mana, qi, and divine energy that seems to be nourishing both Ana and Shanda's body, mind, and souls.

It seems that the god form is trying to "heal" its owners, just like I predicted.

Without this nourishment, they would probably have taken a long time to be able to use all the power of their true form and their domain.

The domain is a nerfed form of a universe creator aspect, but it is still quite powerful. With this Ana became the demigoddess of the inflow of the river of energy and souls, while Shanda became the demigod of the outflow of the river of energy and souls.

"What are you?" Ana asked as she knows what I turn them into.

" I already told you. I am the creator of the aspect of anatomy." I answered a little mysteriously.

"Whatever."she said annoyed with my vague answer.

"It was a wonderful experience passing all this year with both of you. Now I need to go. Goodbye."I said jumping to the river of energy and souls that were now flowing orderly.

"Bye, master" said Shanda.

"Bye, Raziel." said Ana.

When I was already far from them, I asked myself:

"Where I am going?"

I answered myself:

"I think I will go to the reincarnation realm."

"Oh, god of the great river" an abbreviation that I created at this moment because the river of energy and souls was too damn long." please guide me to the reincarnation realm." I prayed.

And so came that way, the first prayer of the universe.
