Realms of Godhood

Tao Jue had a basic understanding of the power of creation. He understood that any being that could wield it can be considered a god, meaning all Archangels and Archdemons could be considered Gods too.

Knowing this, Tao Jue split these Gods into levels; Minor Gods, Major Gods, Supreme Gods, and Creators, like himself.

Lucifer could be considered a Major God due to his higher creation power compared to other angels and demons, but his combat power compared to others was similar. This meant that a Major God is not necessarily stronger or weaker than a Minor God.

A Supreme God, on the other hand, was able to create planets and living beings much easier and with more efficiency than lower levelled gods. They must also have a powerful body to withstand a large amount of creation power, hence likely they were also strong in combat.

At the moment, Tao Jue was in the process of creating a supreme God, one that will overlook all planets in this universe, including Hell itself.

By now, his arm was covered with realistic depictions of archangels, Archdemons and a new and bigger image of an elderly man. Tao Jue had decided he would make God a humble old man with few ambitions, so that he would take care in his work and unlikely be fooled by others, akin to a wise sage and doing Tao Jue's job for him.

With this, he could live as a mortal in the second Earth he created, leaving Godly duties to his subordinate supreme God.

After moulding the shape of an old sage, Tao Jue finalised his creation by investing a significant amount of his creation power to flow through God's body.

Since the process would take centuries, he decided to once again go into slumber and attempt to rekindle memories from the past. Once he woke up, he would need more scientific theories and information to create a model earth to his liking.

Thousands of years had passed since Tao Jue created Heaven and it's Archangels. Heaven was now completely populated with various species of Angel varying from animal hybrids to human beauties, all of them had been created with values and beliefs that align with Heavens will.

Throughout these years, Hells Archdemons, specifically Asteroth and Asmodeus had created trouble with the Archangels from time to time. Battles would erupt occasionally due to an Archdemon taking a trip to Heaven or the opposite, hence the need for laws and regulations to be put into place.

Tao Jue had woken up only a few years ago, and had notice the progress of God almost complete. He would allow God to dictate the rules of Heaven and Hell so he needed to await his creation before solving these issues.

One day while Tao Jue was conversing with Archangels Gabriel and Uriel in Heaven, a bright light beamed throughout space, eclipsing both planets and sending a shockwave that hit all beings. It was the birth of a Supreme God.

Feeling his new body and its strength, God was energetic and couldn't wait to test his powers. He first visualised a cane and promptly used his creation power to fathom it into existence, before using it to walk on the surface of Heaven. He was planning to meet his Creator as known in his inherited memories.

Tao Jue looked towards the old man walking with a cane, a gentle smile came to his face. He had the warmth of a grandfather and was created to become wise beyond all beings, with a humble and approachable attitude. This made him a great friend to speak with over his endless years of boredom.

"Creator" He performed a small bow.

"God, nice to formally meet you. I hope you know what your task is, I wish to enjoy a peaceful life on Earth's surface when it is created; You will be in charge of this universe." Tao Jue spoke back with a smile.

After greeting the old man, he left in pace towards a vast void between Heaven and Hell. He planned to use this space between the worlds to create Earth 2, but he had many things to consider beforehand.

For example, would the world be scientifically orientated as the original Earth was? Would it be based on a system of Cultivation? Magic? What races would be present in this world and what habitats would they require? How big will the planet be? How will soul transfer work from Earth to Heaven or Hell?

With these questions in mind, he decided to layout his plans before creating the Earth. He had too much time to consider his options and narrowed his options down to a specific few he believed to be interesting enough to implement; Mythical races such as Dragons and Phoenixes would exist in a small quantity, Elves, Dwarves, Men and Orc's would also be prevalent on the world with magic at its focus.

Tao Jue thought that this would be a world he could live in himself, one that would be enjoyable not only to watch, but to participate in through apostles or mortal bodies. He did not yet understand what his purpose was to be reincarnated in this unique way, but for now, he would create a world just like he imagined in the shows he watched.

All of his plans would begin with a single invention; Mana.
