I led the ladies into my soul realm and onto the rooftop of my palace. 

Rivers of soft reds, mellow pinks, light blues, and enigmatic violets streaked across the darkness as stellar winds and dancing nebulae.

“It’s. So. Enormous!” Pandora gasped, her eyes wide with wonder as she gazed at the sea of celestial bodies sprawled before her.

“An entire galaxy and only at the very first tier of divinity. Truly remarkable,” Eve stated reverently, her gaze fixed on the rotating planets.

“How is this even possible? This can’t be normal.” Pandora marveled.

“I don’t recall a time when Aeon did anything normal.” Eve teased.

I chuckled and Pandora nodded in agreement.

“You’re standing on the Obsidian Starlight Palace which resides on a nebular obsidian disc named Aoife Island. This is my heaven and the home of my pantheon.” I revealed, gazing around reverently.

“It’s a beautiful and amazing way to honor her,” Pandora said, hugging me tightly.

“She would’ve loved it,” Eve added, hugging my other side.

I nodded, clearing my throat. “Alright, so are you two ready? 

“Yes,” they replied in unison. 

“Okay, Pandora you’re first,” I said, standing in front of her.

She dropped to one knee and looked up at me with a brilliant smile. “I, Pandora, humbly accept you, Aeon, as my lord and deity. I pledge to follow and venerate you for the remainder of my existence.” 

Reality rippled around her, and she radiated a soft, celestial glow.

I had been waiting for this moment. As my official denizen, I could merge my concepts and the noble principles of my soul realm with her.

With divine energy, chaos energy, my expansion principle, and the DNA template of the celestial phoenix, I crafted a new physical body for her, atom by atom.

Her new form retained her original celestial fairy physiology but added both a celestial phoenix bloodline and physique. 

She would be far more powerful than she had ever been before.

Her immortal soul assimilated with her new body and gradually rose as white sparks erupted from her eyes, nose, and mouth. 

The light swiftly enveloped her entire form before dissipating into her radiant skin.

Before the transformation was complete, a sparkling black orchid burned itself onto her left breast, and her butterfly wings were remade, formed of pure white celestial energy.

Next, I summoned a small ember from my divine source star and inserted it into the center of her chest.

This was a significant step beyond believer, I was sharing my divine spark and elevating her to godhood as well as giving her an official place in my pantheon.

After a second, her face scrunched in concentration and she was enveloped in a bright divine light.

A six-inch white halo materialized and floated just above her head, while her long, black twin braids emanated twinkling white light particles.

Additionally, she gained a second, smaller set of celestial butterfly wings and both sets displayed intricate runes of celestial concepts.

This was it, all of her effort and patience had finally paid off. 

“Congratulations, Tier 0, Celestial Fairy Goddess Pandora. I’m so happy for you!” I exclaimed, grinning wildly. 

“Ahhhh!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! We did it!” Pandora shouted, unable to contain her joy. 

“This body is incredible, there’s an intense heat under my skin as well as a mellow chill radiating from my core. I don’t know how to explain it, I feel powerful and healthy. I’m so happy.” She laughed giddily. 

“Congratulations, you deserve it,” Eve said with a wide smile.

Pandora bounced around happily before a brilliant, iridescent light erupted from her chest and streaked toward my divine source star, creating a ring and circling steadily.

“Unrefined divine faith energy,” I muttered, watching it slowly revolve.

Professor Astrape advised against crystallizing divine faith energy. Due to its potency, it should only be refined for cultivating my divine source. 

The blazing black star with a tranquil iridescent energy ring presented an opulent spectacle for my entire soul realm.

Leaving Pandora to celebrate and explore her new body, I turned to Eve. 

“Your turn,” I said, brimming with excitement.

Eve exhaled and dropped to one knee. “I, Eve, humbly accept you, Aeon, as my lord and deity. I pledge to follow and venerate you for the remainder of my existence.”

Just like with Pandora, reality rippled around her, and she radiated a soft, divine glow.

I quickly employed divine energy, chaos energy, my expansion principle, and the DNA template of the void dragon to create a physical body for her as well.

Her new form retained her void elf physiology and added both the void dragon bloodline and physique. 

Once her immortal soul assimilated with her new body, she rose into the air and purple sparks erupted from her eyes, nose, and mouth.

The light dissipated and a blooming black orchid burned itself onto her right buttock, glowing serenely.

I summoned another ember from my source star and placed it in the center of her chest. 

After a second of concentration, she was enveloped in a dark purple divine light, and a six-inch, dark purple halo appeared floating above her head.

Her shimmering white hair was now adorned with purple light particles, and she gained a wide set of moth-like wings composed entirely of void energy, dotted with intricate runes of void concepts.

She was now free from all restrictions, even those self-imposed, and could live however she wanted. 

“Congratulations, Tier 0, Void Elf Goddess Eve!” I boasted happily. 

“Thank you.” She gasped, touching her face. “This body feels so strong and durable. There’s a primal force at my core and my connection to the void is far deeper. This is better than I could’ve imagined.”

“Goddess sisters!!” Pandora screamed, barreling into Eve with her arms stretched out wide.

Eve’s smile was blinding as a burst of iridescent divine faith energy surged from her chest, streaming into the revolving ring around my source star.

Helping them achieve apotheosis was our main priority when we left the forest realm behind, but we managed to push right past that and gain permanent divine status on the most powerful path of godhood.

We were one step closer to our dream of exploring the realms freely. 

Leaving Eve and Pandora to examine themselves and each other, I picked up Luna. Her three fluffy tails were waving and swaying around happily. 

“Do you want to become my denizen, girl?” I asked smiling.

She barked and licked my face.

“I’ll take that as a yes,” I chuckled.

Reality rippled around her and a single blooming orchid burned itself onto her forehead. She was already Rank 4 and would be a powerful denizen as she was, but my expansion principle took effect.

Her energy amplified and her divine beast cultivation progressed, boosting her to Rank 5.

The process caused her to grow significantly and sprout a fourth tail, leaving her larger than an adult tiger.

Looking deeply into her swirling opalescent eyes, I saw it.

Her aspect was awakening—chaos. She had been a divine chaos fox this entire time and her aspect resonated heavily with my chaos concept.

My denizens could access my concepts for assimilation, and I watched her solidify her own chaos concept right before my very eyes. 

A rush of ambient divine energy flooded into her body, and the snow-white fox was enveloped in a bright silver light, immediately ascending to Rank 6 and growing a fifth tail. 

I knew beast cultivation was different, but the speed she had grown was truly astonishing.

Letting go of her, I watched her shining body morphing and changing. 

Once the light subsided, she had transformed into a cute human woman with her same swirling eyes, fluffy black-tipped fox ears, and five long bushy tails.

Her human form had exceptionally thick, snowy-white hair that framed her heart-shaped face and fell to her lower back. The soft, glossy locks reached down past the base of her beautiful large tails.

“Huh,” I muttered, taken aback.

“Master?” Luna spoke for the first time, her voice soft and sleepy. 

Tilting her head and blinking quickly, her brows raised and she dropped to a knee. 

“Luna accepts master as god! Luna stay with master forever!” She shouted rapidly.

“Well, that was interesting,” I said happily. “Hello Luna, the Five-Tailed Chaos Fox. I’m happy to have you with us.”

Luna beamed and bright faith energy erupted from her, joining the ring around my source star.

“You’re so pretty!” Pandora squealed, wrapping her arms around Luna.

“This happened much faster than I would’ve imagined,” Eve remarked, inspecting Luna.

“Professor Astrape did mention that divine beasts grew exponentially fast until Rank 6, I suppose my expansion principle and the matching chaos aspect pushed it along even faster,” I hypothesized, watching Pandora and Luna chasing each other around the roof naked.

Waving my hand, simple robes materialized, flowing around all three of them. 

I wanted to also order some everyday robes from the weaver’s hut when we picked up the weapons and armor.

“Thank you,” Eve said with a slight flush.

“Boo!” Pandora jeered. “Why can’t we stay naked?”

I snorted, ignoring the silly fairy. “Alright ladies, the center room on the top floor is all mine, but you can have your pick of the rest,” I said, gesturing to the chaos marble staircase. “You can also change the layout and design with a simple thought, so have fun.”

All three of them scurried down and embarked on a hurried exploration of the palace.

Pandora and Eve, the powerful immortal beings sent to help me train, had gained physical bodies with legendary physiques and bloodlines, broken through all of their limitations, and transcended to godhood.

I couldn’t be more proud of them. Everything we talked about in the forest was happening, and I was happy they decided to stick with me.

Luna, our little divine surprise, had jumped two whole ranks, defined a chaos concept, gained sentience, and a human form. 

I hadn’t expected anything more than a cute little companion when we first met, but I was excited to have another powerful ally.

From what I could discern, ranks one through three were equivalent to early-stage spiritual sea cultivation, while four through six were middle-stage, seven through nine were late-stage, and ten was peak-stage where apotheosis could be achieved.

I needed to learn more about divine beast cultivation, and divine foxes specifically. I wondered if it would be rude to ask Zhinu or Madam Baset.

Either way, at Tier 1 with a galactic scale soul realm, two powerful Tier 0 goddesses, and a Rank 6 denizen by my side, I would be starting my path of faith godhood with an incredible foundation.

Inside my room, I had created a hot spring oasis. 

A twenty-foot, round bed was centered in the middle, surrounded by various plants with glistening white leaves.

To the far right was a multi-tiered, heated waterfall that pooled into a large obsidian-lined spring. Subtle backlight refracted and scattered through the steamy fog surrounding black stones and glittering crystals.

The other side of the room was decorated like a modern bedroom with large black shag rugs, various couches, and lounges, as well as chaos marble desks, chairs, and bookshelves.

My room was illuminated by small twinkling celestial lights and two large twin moons, one a calm blue and the other an energetic indigo. It was designed to imitate the rainbow forest realm at night, that was when it was the most beautiful to me.

As I was inspecting my efforts, Pandora and Eve appeared in my doorway.

“This place looks beautiful, it’s just like.. Do you remember our first nighttime stroll?” Pandora asked, her voice laced with need.

“I do. Did you want to recreate it?” I asked, my voice heavy.

Pandora and Eve glanced at each other, and then immediately dropped their robes to the floor.
