A certain undying Phoenix sat ontop of a particularly large jungle tree, his eyes closed, meditating. The both Lumas’ shone threw a small hole in the dark clouds above, perfectly illuminating his majestic body that resembled flames. The temperature around Martin's body was gradually rising as he sat in a perpetual state of stillness even in the cold night air. Suddenly a great gust of wind disrupted the silence of the night as a particular Qualin appeared on top of a slightly smaller tree.
“Hello brother.”
“Greeting sister” replied Martine still in a meditating posture.
“Will you be attempting you ascendance soon?” Eirlen said lightly.
“Yes, at dawn. Though it is unfortunate that father probably won’t be there to witness it.” Martine said with obvious sadness in his voice.
“Oh...” said Eirlen with a mix of surprise and sadness in his tone,”Why won’t father be there?”
“After seeing what he created a few months ago, I would not be surprised if he was very tired and resting right now.” Martine replied in slight awe and disappointment.
“True, very true” replied Eirlen in a similar tone. They sat in silence for a moment. “Well, I wish you luck. I will be cheering for you.”
An expression sprouted on the phoenix's beak that kinda resembled a loving smile. “I’ll be waiting for you to join me sister.”
“Don’t worry you won't wait long.” Both brother and sister looked towards the setting moon and then towards the rising sun. The phoenix looked towards the sun with hesitating and expectation.
“Don't worry brother, you’ll definitely succeed.” A wonders sudo-smile broke onto the phoenix’s face, all hesitation god. With that the Martine shot off towards the rising sun, while clouds of heavenly lightning formed in space. A particular non-universal god broke into a wider grin then he originally had and teleported out of the God’s Domain.
“So his is different.”
Elsewhere a Star Grazer stopped and looked on with his kin at the massive cloud of heavenly lightning that stretched for a distant blue-green planet and into their star. The near mindless instinct was lost as a small demigod tribution descended and was conquered without the nameless Star Grazers knowledge.

“A universal tribulation comes, we must prepare brothers and sister.”
The surrounding Star Grazers who had also gone through the a tribulation looked on. “Indeed brother.” Then they all vanished
Much later, Morren appeared in the vast expanse of space. Small repairing cracks of heavenly energy was still in the area. A Phoenix sat in nothingness, meditating quietly. Morren waited for a small while before speaking,”I have a lot to talk to you about, now come along.”
Emyir woke up and could feel the many changes that happened in his absence like a certain new god. Still a little grody Emyir got dressed with a snap and walked toward the new villa that lay down the mountain. I was a nice bright but busy day for the inhabitants of the God’s Domain but a strange ominus feeling lingered but went unnoticed. The new villa looked almost the exact same except for the crest on the building. Morren’s crest as well as most of God’s Domain inhabitants is a hammer and heavenly lightning bolt crossing in an ‘X’ shape, Whereas Martine’s is a rising Phoenix with heavenly lightning coming off. ‘Strange, I don’t remember these being here.’ thought Emyir. He lightly knocked on the dark wood door. The door opened with a grining phoenix on the other side.
“So you finally woke up father, took you long enough.”
“A man needs his beauty sleep.” they paused for a moment before both seemingly children from their behavior let out a slight laugh. “Congratulations on you ascendance Martine.”
“Thank you father, please come in.” and Emyir entered and talked for a long time of the other 2 children, the changes, etc…
Emyir appeared in space looking over all the Star Grazers that had all combined in a single uninhabited but mineral rich solar system. The first thing Emyir noticed was that they were all demigods. The power that was concentrated in the system made in feel like multiple lesser gods of maybe a mid-god. Yet the strange thing was that if you were any distance outside the system the aura would be almost nonexistent.
The Star Grazers worked like a well oiled machine gathering materials, mainly minerals from all the surrounding planets, and putting them in a couple mile mountains of the same materials. The materials would then be smelted in the largest volcano on the planet then assembled into what looked like massive towering humanoid metal legs so far. The legs were a good 5 miles tall. There were also so Star Grazers that were taking turns filling the a small metal core with all their power the core was off to the side of the construct, and was what was giving off the aura of a very strong lesser god. Emyir could not understand what they were doing and his head hurt a little every time he thought to hard about what the Star Grazers were doing, so he decided to just not think about it. He teleported back to the Polaris System. He decided to make the other planets have moons, plus maybe add so gas giants.
First, he added a large completely ice covered ocean moon that orbited Atlantis. It had a more cold adapted Triton species on it. Next came a large sudo-redwood forest moon that would orbit the jungle planet Gaia. it would hold different Volf species that included Deer, Elk, Bear, Eagle, Wolf, etc…. Finally was a lava moon that had seas of lava and continents of igneous rock and ash. The rain was acidic, but it was very very mineral rich. He even went so far as to invent a new ore specifically name Godsmium. Godsmium would no matter what be the strongest metal in the universe, even going so far to say that it would become stronger if another ore surpassed it. Though the ore was spread at least a little bit to every planet, more so to mineral rich and dangerous planets. It also was added to every sub dimension and would naturally come to exist in places with both dence mana and divine power through faith energy could substitute for divine power at a high cost. He also gave some to the Star Grazers for their little half finished project.
Finally he created many gasses and had them form Giant planets around the universe except for the Polaris System that lay in the center of the universe, he also took note that the Tree of Knowledge ascended to demigod-hood.
