Chapter 2: New Universe

The universe I had chosen was just born barely 1.5 billion years ago. It was new and currently developing. Not much sentient life have taken to the stars. I've joined in at a good time.

My dreadnaught Aspiration is the length of a dwarf planet and quite thick too. A huge vessel. I could not land it on a regular world as a result. I sought a gas giant to accommodate my ship. A young planet with a huge red storm on a side was chosen. It had many moons already and generated plenty of electrical energy.

I could turn the moons into shield worlds and create floating cities on this gas giant. I would be sure to hide my activity as I am sure there are tier 0 beings in this universe. It would be odd if there weren't. Because of the Vacuum Energy Harvester, gods and the like were seen in universes that were consumed. Beings on par with the Precursors are not a far-fetched thought either.

So I hid my developments in this solar system. I must also mention that a tier 0 being is capable of creating life, not just manipulation and nurturing.  I have managed to somewhat achieve this.

My first creation was made on a cloud city of this gas giant I now call Antecedent. I created an ancilla newborn consciousness and "burned" it into a biological brain. The brain was then inserted into a prepared bipedal body. the body was modeled after my own race but with differences of course. The skin was bronze, the facial features were human-like. The eyes featured three irises of a white color with bronze pupils. Hair the color of a sunset. The body was made to be female and I made sure it was proportional. The life span of the body was millions of years as I could not pass on my immortality yet. I am embarrassed to admit my previous success for my own immortality was a lucky educated fluke. The mind can be moved to another body easily though.

She wakes up and looks around. I had made her consciousness with information already present so she was not clueless like a baby. She turn to me, "Father, what is my name?" I think for a moment, "Cloud Above Stars, that is your name." She smiles, "Then you can me Cloud for short Father. Also, I know your title as The Trifect, but is your name Father?"

I hum lowly and answer, "Words Travel Far, is my name child. Now I come, I have much to teach you."

Even if Cloud was made from an ancilla, her mind was still new. I taught her easy subjects first. Reading, writing, math, science and the like. When we got deeper into them though, I introduced history and philosophy. I even showed her how to use her unique abilities. Besides longevity, I added other things. The three pupils aren't just for show either, she can see different spectrums of light and waves such as sound. I also gave the ability to manipulate atmospheric pressure. It was this ability that allowed Cloud to walk on clouds and fly in the air of Antecedent. Although this ability can be further trained to become an art of atomic sized matter manipulation. It'll take much time for her to step into that realm.

Centuries later, the clueless girl became and powerful woman. Wise, strong, and dangerous. She was such a sweetheart at the same time. I became proud to be her father.

One day Cloud came to ask me a question, "Father, may I ask for something." I was doing some mundane research as I turned to face her. I say, ask away daughter." She gets a little nervous before asking, "I want a husband..."

My mid stops working for a moment and I stutter for the first time in my life, "R..re..repeat...th..that dear?" She gather some more courage, "I want a husband! Make me one!"

I am completely stunned, "Where is this coming from? Why do you need a husband?" She sighs, "Father, you made me female, not male and not genderless. I want children of my own now, but I am the only member of my race. Make me a husband."

Well, what she says is right. I made her female and with all the same desires one would have. I cough, "I suppose you're right, I'll make a male for you. Although, it is best you both remained separated for a time until he matures lest he see you as an older sister or mother figure. It would take longer for there to be romantic love if that was the case. Also, he will have the same free will as you, so there is no guarantee he'll fall in love with you."

She smiles, " I know dad, I'll take care of making him fall in love. You just need to make and educate him just as well as me."

She walks away and I start work on the new...I never named this race have I? Well, I'll call this race the Cloud Walkers. A fitting name I think. I make the male Cloud Walker quicker than Cloud. I already knew the process well after all.

He awoke and I named him, "You are Gust Moves Cloud my son. Come now, I will help you to walk. I have much to teach you."

Many years pass and Gust has matured into an upstanding young man. So it was time for Cloud and Gust to meet.

There first meeting was...interesting. It was love at first sight. They were infatuated with each other. I hadn't altered anything in either of them to spur this sort of reaction either. It's completely natural. I can create life but I trip over my own feet when it comes to understanding love. I am not so knowledgeable and wise as of yet.

Now there are two residents of my cloud city.

To my nonsensical surprise, I really don't why I was surprised, I was about to become a grandfather!
