Chapter 9: BEGINNING OF THE UNIVERSE
"what room are you talking about Sarasvi?"
[remember I mentioned to him that his domain is command center to direct his universe from a higher plane?]
"yes, but what do you have to..."
[well, as you replaced the content of the domain to this meadow with mansion, the place where your universe will go also changed, let me show you the way].
My vision suffered a slight change, I could see a blinking arrows of a celestial energy, showing a path towards the interior of the mansion. Once inside the mansion, I continue along the path of arrows made by Sarasvi, which indicates me to advance to the second floor, while I climb the stairs, just now I notice the total silence that there is in the mansion, I had not noticed before because I was talking to Sarasvi, but since he told me to follow the arrows he has not said anything.
Once on the second floor there are only 3 rooms, the arrows point me to the room whose door is right in the middle of the other 2. I slowly head towards it, with my hand on the handle I turn it to see inside the room and I see....
"nothing, Sarasvi, why have you brought me all the way here?"
[because my lord, this is where your universe will be sheltered, you could consider it as a pocket dimension, like the ones in the Chinese novels you used to read in your free time in the army]
"hey!!! that's private! but what do you mean, my universe can be created in this confined space?"
[sir, I think it's about time I gave you some information that I've been omitting for some time now].
"information? What information are you talking about?"
[how tall do you think you are, sir?]
"How tall am I, I don't know, maybe about six feet?"
[my lord... gods do not measure the same as inferior beings like the human race, a god can measure millions of light years away, like for example the god Kaltor, when you saw him for the first time he had the size of almost half of Lord Orion's universe, but for his newly formed body, he perceived it as only 4 meters]
"so the size of this room is big enough to hold a whole universe?
[In short, yes. In this room you will be able to create and shape your universe as you wish, would you like to start]?
"well, it's time isn't it?"
Repeating the same process of how I create the domain I must preview what I want to create, a universe. How is a universe born? As far as I remember, there were 2 main theories that tell the birth of the universe, the Christianity theory and the big bang theory. Sarasvi told me that I can do it in those ways, but that to immediately create the universe with everything included in it would consume 80% of my divine energy reserves, whereas the "Big Bang" only consumes 45%. Anyway, I do not care about immediately creating a planet with thinking beings, I'll take it easy, so I'll go for the big bang. Gathering the energy I condense it in what I could call a mini bomb, leaving it in the center of the room I decide to move away in case of any possible failure.
"Phew, I feel kind of tired, did I use too much energy, do you think if it explodes it will hurt me?"
[according to my calculations and translating it into numbers that you understand, I started with a million points of divine energy, then I spent two hundred thousand in the creation of your domain, then with the mansion and the wall about fifty thousand went away, and already with the creation of the "bomb" that cost four hundred and fifty thousand, I left you with thirteen hundred thousand of divine energy].
[And don't worry, the energy, since it is coming from you, is incapable of harming you. it would have to be coming from another god to even hurt you].
"that reassures me, but I'm still nervous, what if it doesn't work?"
[You'll just have to wait while your energy recharges.]
"so, then my energy is like the MP of the games?"
[the comparison is inaccurate, since, unlike that thing they call "mana" which regenerates over time, divine energy is obtained through the "Prayer" of the god's followers].
"so there is such a thing as mana eh? I thought they invented it on earth. Wait a minute, I don't have followers, heck, I don't even have my universe yet how do I regenerate divine energy?"
[While divine energy is achieved through the prayer of devotees, it can also be conferred by other gods. at the time when lord Orion transferred me to you, he also transferred a great deal of energy to you so that you could create your domain, to subsequently your universe, and the first life forms in it. But you have already used up an exorbitant amount of energy, so I am left in the unfortunate obligation of having to pray to you to supply you].
"You've been praying to me all this time? But you are only one, and you don't even possess a physical body, it should be impossible to replenish my energy reserves all by yourself!"
Yes sir, I, being an artificially created consciousness by two elder gods, they had to use a large amount in order to create me, I am at this moment almost as strong as a demi-god, hence my prayers generate more energy to you than thousands of mortal minions. But I can't do it forever as I too have a limit before my energy runs out, so I suggest you refrain from creating more worthless things].
Alright, hey, won't it be possible to express my skills in an information table, like the one in the RPG games on earth?
At that moment I finished saying those words a screen with a loading bar appeared, like in a game.
[Loading...Loading complete.]

"What the fuck is that Sarasvi?"
[well, let me explain. Since the birth of the first universe, The Sphere decided to implement a status window for every living being, including the gods. In this it gives you some information, which in my opinion is rather scarce, about your attributes and abilities.
"As in a game, I understand. But now a question arose in my mind, why in my old world we didn't have something like this, and also what are those question marks?"
[as to why your old world did not have an ability window, it is due to an ancient great battle that originated in lord Orion's universe. this was due to the incredible abilities that its inhabitants manifested and discovered from their status window. there was so much destruction and death that lord Orion had to intervene, sealing the status windows in your universe. At first lord orion's universe managed to be one of the strongest at the time, but after that event the strength of his universe was declining, along with the Divine power itself].
[And with the questionable abilities, they are the ones that you have not yet discovered and that the sphere itself does not have a complete understanding about, which is odd since the sphere created everything in the end].
