Origin of a New Universe

Race of Gods

On another world in a distant galaxy, approximately 14 billion years ago, the stars aligned in a perfect circle that formed a celestial halo across an alien night sky. Its three moons were almost in position, one half risen over the eastern horizon, one half risen over the western horizon, and the third moon overhead, drifting toward the perfect epicenter within the halo of stars.

It was evening. The sky filled with beautiful deep blue, purple, and pink hues. Surrounding this sacred site was a massive stadium amphitheater, stretching out both wide and tall. Beyond it, surrounding that, was a mega alien city metropolis, with towering skyscrapers, busy intersections of rapidly flying vehicles on multiple levels from the ground to above the clouds. Lush parks and vibrant greenery sat on elevated platforms and rooftops throughout these densely-packed buildings. Exotic plants and strange-looking, multi-colored flowers accentuated these city parks. And lights — so many lights — of every color imaginable, blinking and flashing, illuminating the endless alien city.

This was their capital city Avalon, on the planet Elo, the home world of the elohim. They were an alien race, once mortal and ordinary physical creatures like any other. They looked identical to humans in size and appearance, but they were anything but. They evolved on another world entirely, in another universe entirely… and over the course of billions of years, they became so much more than their mortal origins.

The elohim learned to become gods.

Not merely in technology or power. But they found a way — through their fundamental understanding of magic and the underlying forces of the universe — how to cheat death and become immortal, eternal, powerful beings of their own.

They lost their mortality eons ago. They do not grow old. They do not die. They have transcended nature. They are no longer bound by it. They are masters of it.

They became a race of deities, a race of gods.

Each individual elohim, upon reaching the age of 14, underwent a sacred ritual for discovering their true essence, their inner nature and higher purpose. Their future power. Who and what kind of god or deity they were to become. And with that knowledge, with that sacred discovery, they then trained and prepared and perfected themselves in that supernatural art.

For example, one girl had an affinity for small furry animals. She was to become a nature goddess, specializing and dedicating her existence to taking care of such cute and furry creatures on other worlds.

A young boy discovered an affinity for being strong, powerful, and winning any conflict or argument he faced. He was to become a god of war, power, and strength. He would be a deity that other beings on other planets would pray and call to, to help them win and resolve their conflicts.

If a young elohim felt an affinity for love, connection, and companionship, he or she may become a god or goddess of love and relationships, bringing couples together, ending loneliness, even blessing marriages.

If a young elohim was fascinated by the arts, or loved getting intoxicated and partying all night long, or felt a special connection to an element like fire or water – they would train in that specialty, focus and develop and mature in their power, and one day, grow into a “god” of that very thing.

Each elohim was unique. And each affinity was their own. Something natural. Something personal. Something meaningful to them personally.

Upon turning 28, their training and mastery was complete, and many traveled to seek out new worlds and new emerging civilizations. Other races and species who did not possess the power they had. The elohim then lived, served, or ruled as deities over those mortal “lesser” beings. Some elohim were benevolent and loving. Others, not so much. But they spread their influence and power throughout the known universe.

The elohim knew they were once ordinary, mortal physical creatures like any other race. But to all other races, as far as they knew, the elohim were an entire pantheon of gods. Always immortal. Always powerful.

But the elohim, eternally-living and becoming infinite in number, started to run into a problem.

Eventually other races and civilizations grew into their own power, mastering science and technology. Those civilizations no longer believed in, turned to, or prayed to their former deities. And even if they continued to do so, the practical truth was there were only so many other planets out there in the universe. Only so many civilizations for the elohim to guide, nurture, influence, dominate, or control.

The elohim could not die, but they kept giving birth to more and more offspring. And nearly all of them aspired to become gods and goddesses. It was the highest form of expression and purpose for being an elohim. A few rejected that path and chose to live simpler, smaller lives. But the vast majority continued to seek new worlds, new civilizations, new cultures… and they were fast running out of options, despite the hundreds of thousands that existed throughout their universe.

The elohim were becoming too many.

Soon crisis and civil war broke out within the elohim society. They battled each other over their claims on other planets and civilizations.

At first, they fought each other, using their own powers against their fellow elohim. Chaos erupted. Their own civilization began to fall. They fractured into sub groups, dividing into warring nations… and their conflict quickly escalated into not only beginning to destroy their own world, but soon, their supernatural battles began ruining and destroying other worlds as well.

Some elohim felt “if I can’t have it, neither will anyone else.” Entire worlds were obliterated. From an outside perspective, it looked simply like an unfortunate asteroid collision that wiped out nearly all life on that world. But soon even that wasn’t enough. Then it was stars going supernova. Mysterious spontaneous appearances of black holes. Even entire galaxies began to crash and collide into one another.

Their conflict was slowly tearing apart and destroying the universe.

That was, until an ancient and wise elohim, one only known as The Keeper, discovered the perfect solution to their eternal problem.

They didn’t have to be limited to just one universe.
