Developing My Little World

10 years later..

The world had encountered a great shift over the last decade as Jay had watched the planet and its people grow. Many new young and talented sentients started to be birthed as well as more races and sentients unlocking the status system! This could be said to be Jay's masterpiece in creating this world as the newly empowered rapidly caught up to and surpassed their teachers, commanders, or chiefs.

The newly awakened then started to explore their different talents, their reason for existing in the world. Jay watched on in great suspense as a small human boy, barely 18 years old, conversed with Phineas.

To understand why Jay was so excited was because just 1 year ago, the pure potential of the young boy had him forcefully awaken his status system at a much younger age than the rest of his sentient brothers and sisters. This was a measure that Jay had put in place to showcase which student had "true prodigy" strength.

Basically the earlier you awakened your status system, the more "potential" you had. This system was not absolute, as Jay purposefully included errors, just to see what would happen if he shook up fate a bit. However it was a good indicator on if the awakened had great potential to advance.

Phineas had been walking through a small human village, when he noticed a young boy who was staring at the ground and mumbling to himself about something.

Phineas was invisible at the moment so he walked over to see what the young boy was trying to do. When he walked over, Phineas could clearly feel the power of type of spiritual fruit buries underneath the ground under the boy.

Phineas' eyes widened and his face was plastered with a wide grin!

Phineas slowly revealed himself from his invisible state, stunning the young boy who had just been experimenting before.

The boy instantly could "feel" the difference between the two and he immediately kowtowed on his knees in respect.

Phineas smiled and said,"Rise, Nolanxia of the AlexanderWu tribe, I mean you no harm."

Nolanxia got back up to his feet and nervously eyed the god in front of him. He asked nervously,"What can I do for you, sir?"

Phineas chuckled and said,"You are doing it wrong." Phineas had his finger pointed at the ground where the young boy had planted the fruit.

Nolanxia's eyes widened and he hurriedly asked,"Does this sir really know how to make more of this good fruit?"

Phineas nodded and said,"Although I cannot give you the answer, I can give you a clue."

Nolanxia's eyes narrowed a little but he only replied,"Ok, I am ready."

Phineas smiled, laughed a bit and said,"Don't have to be so serious lad! Anyways, there are 3 things that a plant must have! A question for you, boy, what do you need to survive?"

Nolanxia thought for a moment and then said,"Food, Water, Reliable Shelter."

Phineas had a pleased look in his eyes as he responded,"Good! Perfect! Now, boy, what do you think a plant needs to survive?"

Nolanxia thought for a few minutes before his eyes widened and he asked,"Food? Water? Reliable Shelter?"

Phineas shook his head and said,"2 out of 3. Try the last one again. Does a plant such as a tree need shelter?"

Nolanxia had a confused look on his face but he did not dare voice any complaints in his heart. He thought about what the third requirement could be out loud, as this was a habit of his.

"Trees don't need shelter to grow.. hm.. but the tree is the shelter itself.. wait.. but it wasn't always a big shelter tree.. maybe.. it was also once a small sprout like this in the ground? Then how did it survive here, but not outside the forest? It's like.."

Nolanxia had a look of puzzlement on his face as he turned and asked Phineas,"Is there something special with the dirt in this forest?"

Phineas' eyes sparkled with hope. He smiled gleefully and said,"Not quite, but you are on the right path my boy!"

Nolanxia thought for a moment and then had another look of enlightenment on his face. He smiled and said,"Food. Water. And soil that will let the plant grow to its best state?"

Phineas laughed heartily and said,"BINGO! Kiddo you got it!"

Nolanxia then thought about something and then asked,"But what do plants even eat?"

Phineas then replied mysteriously,"A single tree grows in a desert oasis after a rainfall.."

Nolanxia's people lived in a forest near the desert so Phineas knew this clue would help the young boy. Then Phineas left and turned invisible once more, not saying anything else to the young boy.

Phineas teleported up to the viewing room and saw Jay eagerly awaiting him. Jay patted the couch next to him lightly and excitedly said,"Come on! Come watch!"

Phineas, unlike his godly appearance and temperament when talking to Nolanxia, now he bounded over the furniture like a kid on Christmas. This was the birth of his domain afterall, which god wouldn't be excited?!

As soon as Jay saw Phineas was sitting and ready to go, he let the world speed up a bit.

It actually is quite hard to understand fundamentally that the sun "feeds" plants, and Jay was even totally sure how the people on his last earth discovered it. As far as Jay knew, it was sort of like cheese, where the human race had the tech for so long, no one really remembers who exactly created it.

Sure enough, even though it took the young man about 4 years of trial and error, he had finally managed to cultivate a single "Golden Sun Strawberry" bush.
