The guardians wandered about the existence of this mysterious planet called Terra for tens of millennia; which has nothing more than an orbit around it's sun that had more power in it than half the galaxy. Humans came first long ago during the days before the creator left managing the universe to the guardians.
Solar guardians are much weaker guardians, but instead of managing galaxies they manage solar systems. They are incredibly rare; but those that encountered them were never the same afterward. Those who encountered the creator and were blessed with the direct attention of it, were enthralled by its beauty and power of it and never forgot the experience, assuming they didn't straight up die from the power of his mere presence.
Those who met any of the solar guardians were left with nothing but respect.
A solar guardian was a being created directly by the creator himself, as opposed to the ones created in one big chunk without the creator really caring for them. Solar guardians have a lifespan of several hundred million years; and though they look very similar to humans, they possess incredible powers far beyond anything else on this world. Not that humans are not powerful, they are incredibly overpowered.
Hence why many of those who live under the solar guardians and worship them as gods think that human is the perfect form of life. They didn't know what was human or even if such creatures existed until their encounter with Terra. The guardians did not interact with humanity at all until during and after the creation period of the universe.

Custodian sat down on top of the mountain looking out across the horizon. He felt like he could see so much from there, which wasn't exactly true. After all, it's so small compared to the universe.
He saw many things during his life. All kinds of different beings lived within the universe, some good, others evil, most just plain old bad. Some were smart while others weren't too bright. It seemed like no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't escape death.
Even the guardians themselves that were each in charge of an entire galaxy is bound to die.
That was something Custodian knew well. Death was inevitable. Nothing can last forever. Even when you thought you might be immortal, eventually your time would come. You will meet a fate that none could ever even hope to avoid.
Except for one.

One thing stood above the rest. One being that defied everything. A single creature that went against nature itself. That's right...
The creator.
"It was said that the creator once walked among mortals, living amongst us. It was, after all, the creator that created all things. But then it disappeared. No one knows where it ended up. Many people believed it died. Others say it moved away into another realm.
Those who said he died are idiots, and those that believe he left are ignorant fools. Where do you think your magic is coming from? Where What makes you feel better when times get tough? Who made you laugh when you needed it? If you don't understand what I'm saying here, then maybe you're part of the problem.
Because you, beautiful people, are human.
Custodian's immense power comes from the creator to fight back the horrors from outside of the universe.
If the creator truly died, then everything is lost. The reason the creator made custodian in the first place is because of fear. Fear drove him to create a way for mankind to survive. To keep them safe from harm. So we may live longer than any other race.
As the stars will grow cold and distant, as galaxies shatter and the last stars in the universe will be trillions of light years apart, our hearts will still beat strong and steady. As the cosmos becomes dark and lifeless, the universe will fall silent and become devoid of life, what will be left?
Us.
Because Sol, our star doesn't lose power over time... It gains power.
Sol shines brighter now more than it ever has in history. This is the result of the creator's endless energy. And it grows stronger every second.
So let me tell you, the creator isn't gone.
I've been watching over you since the beginning.
And I'll continue to watch over you until the end.
You should thank me for giving you life. For keeping you alive through these ages.
But you should also thank yourselves. The creator supports us, he aides us at our endeavours. When the fear of death consumes us, he gives us strength. He is always there, right behind you, standing besides you, guiding the power within you.
But if we use our power for ill will, the creator will withdraw his support. We cannot take his gift for granted or use it in any manner that goes against existence itself.
You must not forget this. So, my dear soldiers, my brothers at arms, the masters of the new orders of the world of Terra, my pride and joy, don't fail your creator.
And if one day the creator ceases to exist, then so too will mankind soon after. That is why we fight. But he can only help us so much. He needs our help as well, else we will all perish.
So, let us all be thankful to the creator. Let us all show our gratitude. We owe it to him our power, our lives, the lives of those around us, the existence of humanity itself. Most of what you have just is to remain a secret. Only you, the best of the best, will be told. You are the most trusted and powerful of humanity. So gourd it well, do not let anyone down.
And if you ever get lost, ever feel like you are going to give up, always remember the truth: The creator will always be there.
The creator has faith in us, and we will have faith in him.
For the survival and prosperity of humanity."
-Custodian, first speech to the order masters of the wall of Terra.
