Chapter 42, Let There Be Life!
----------------------------------------
"Kreus and magic will have to be the main power systems in this world unless I create something different..." Alexandria said, Julius peering over her shoulder as she manipulated a holographic construct within her palms.
"Kreus is a powerful thing, but it is an untamed energy for those that are not high-level mortals... If this world is to have order, then kreus cannot be the only power that may be used. It will cause many accidental deaths..." Julius said, putting a hand into the construct and manipulating it in a different way.
"But if we create a new Natural Law, I'm sure it wouldn't be impossible to control kreus perfectly." He added, adding a new strange Law essence into the fray, and showcasing the newly stabilized energy in Alexandria's palms.
"But then we are still focusing on the Kreuvian System... The Kreuvian System is focused on the latter tiers. It focuses on powers that rend solar systems and crumble galaxies, it is not truly plausible for just one small world." Alexandria retorted.
"Plus, where is the variety? We have the chance to create a world from scratch, for our Father, at that... Don't you want to go beyond his expectations?" She explained.
"...Then, what do you have in mind?" Julius asked, confusedly.
"I think, we need to use kreus but in a more... useful way... You know that kreus is present within everything, this is widespread knowledge. But we don't utilize this to its full capabilities because we are so powerful..." She started, materializing a sword in her hand. "For example, if you're holding a sword, you will pour your kreus into your hand so your grip tightens and you will not let go. Or you might even feed your hand so much kreus that it acts as a magnet for the sword. But did you know that you could quite easily, at the expense of almost no energy at that, just tap into the kreus of the sword, and interlock it with yours." Alexandria said, displaying her words with the sword in her hand.
"Everyone uses kreus to just empower themselves... They use it for trivial matters, solely to bridge the gap between it and Law essences, but it truly has so much potential!" She exclaimed, pouring her kreus into the sword, infesting it and forcing its latent kreus outwards.
In response, the sword disintegrated, turning into a pile of metal ash that sunk infinitely within the void they stood.
"So I think, we need to slip in some minor realms within the mortal level, and on top of that, focus on kreus control. Alongside this, it would be useful to have a few minor systems. Like that of a Faith system for us Gods. Lifeforms that worship us and give us Faith essence will earn some supernatural powers in return. This will make more want to worship us, and give us more even more power.
"Or I can even create a different magical system... Like one that allows an existence to connect with a dimension of different essences and Kreuvian energy, that lets them call upon certain portions of these energies daily before their body gives way to the foreign powers!" Alexandria ran off on a tangent, Julius stepping away.
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
He couldn't help but think the woman before him was slightly disturbed.
"I think these are wonderful ideas." His Father spoke from behind him, making his head turn to face the view behind him.
Off in the distance was a large planet, many vibrant colors filling it's surface.
Roughly 60% of the surface was water, with the rest being beautiful landscapes.
There were two nearly infinite icy continents at both poles, and in the middle were 3 super continents.
There were decrepit deserts, mountainous landscapes, valleys, seas, plains, quite literally all of them.
"An unnamed world, uninhabited, with not many definitive rules." Lokreum said, watching as both Alexandria and Julius examined the celestial body.
"Of course, I have just implemented the basic Natural and False Laws, so that this creation could come to fruition." He added, Alexandria nodding.
"Indeed Father, I feel the Laws on the planet despite them not existing here within the void." She spoke, Lokreum nodding.
He turned to look back, gazing at Julius.
"So what do you have planned for the sentient life? You have encountered countless lifeforms on your journey through the Apocryphal Domain, any ideas?" He asked, Julius nodding.
"I have thought of my time with Citemer, and, the beauty of wild life is unmatched. I have constructed countless animals to inhabit the land. Wolves, deer, bison, apes... There are countless species that will walk the world." Julius smiled, "But of course, I cannot leave out my human kin. Nor can I forget about those they need to compete against." He stepped forward, lifting a palm and conjuring an image.
"There will be Titans, large creatures with slothful characteristics." He said, the image of a large, and strangely shaped human manifesting in his hand.
"There will be Vitarians, a cousin to the human, reminiscent to that of Elven creatures. They are tall humanoids, with sharp eyes, naturally long life spans, and high kreus."
"Orcs, Beastkin, whatever you would like to call them. Humanoid animals, with a human-like intelligence."
"And of course, there will be animal races that hold intelligence similar to that of Humans, maybe even surpassing them." Julius conjured many images that depicted the lifeforms he spoke of, Lokreum nodding at each species.
"This world will be beautiful..." Lokreum smiled.

"So, the film around the world acts as an atmosphere. It even displays the image of stars and the sun to the world, despite there being nothingness beyond the wall. It also replicates the affects of these things, regulating temperature around the world, the tides of the waters, and all other effects that celestial bodies have on planets." Kieron explained, Lokreum nodding.
"So, this world is ready to experience life?" Lokreum asked, checking with the three gods around him.
"Ultimately, we will be using a more focused version of the Kreuvian System, as I have not finished formatting the Faith Power System, but besides for that yes. Though none of that truly matters as it will take years for any lifeform to even discover true power..." Alexandria responded, allowing Lokreum to turn back to the world.
"Then, Julius, show me your catalogue." Lokreum beckoned his son, the latter approaching him with a thick book.
Lokreum opened it, flipping through each of the pages rapidly and smiling.
"Good..." He muttered, "This will be the first thing recorded in our scripture." He said, closing the book, and raising his opposite hand.
"Let there be life."
