In the span of fifteen days in the real world, fifteen years had passed in the world Keshav had created—his divine realm shaped by space and nurtured by his divine guidance. Though the system, ever-watchful, refrained from directly interfering, Keshav himself took an active role in steering the civilization forward.
Using the Creation Points he earned by exchanging faith for energy, Keshav continuously bought cultivation, magical, and martial arts techniques from the Creation Website through the Terminal. But he didn't simply pass them on—he refined them.
With the system's Merge Function, Keshav combined techniques to forge entirely new ones, tailored to the unique needs of his growing number of believers. Some were optimized for survival in harsh spatial environments, others honed for fast progress in cultivation paths that mimicked the laws of space he represented as the Voidwalker Sovereign.
These techniques formed the foundation of a burgeoning culture. Under the guidance of the Star Priests—Keshav's appointed clergy—the tribes grew into settled communities, then city-states, and eventually into a unified, expanding nation. Their belief in the Voidwalker Sovereign only deepened as the miracles and teachings bestowed by their god shaped their lives.
The believers who grasped Keshav's techniques were forming sects and academies dedicated to divine cultivation. Even primitive mana veins discovered earlier had been expanded into complex energy circuits running beneath their cities, further empowering their growth.
Meanwhile, the system watched everything unfold from the background. It had upgraded its Calculate and Scan abilities to Tier 4 and used its new capabilities to continue evolving the Chaotic Soul's world—Paradoxon. But here, in Keshav's realm, it simply served as the tool—unseen, invaluable, yet never interfering directly.
Keshav was fulfilling the role of a god not through overwhelming power, but through divine wisdom, creativity, and deliberate nurturing of a civilization destined for greatness.

[System POV]
Two days passed quietly—on the surface.
But beneath the silence, the System was relentless.
It had spent hours scanning the anomalous time zones that occasionally flickered within Paradoxon—the bizarre, fragmented world that defied logic and structure. Using its now-tier 4 Calculate and Create abilities in tandem, the System assembled something extraordinary: a time-altering artifact capable of accelerating the flow of time within a god's domain.
Artifact Name: Chronoweave Spindle
Effect: Multiplies time flow in a selected God's Domain by 10×
Stability: High (System-grade precision)
Restrictions: Can only be applied once per world
Price: 100 EP
The System placed the artifact on its internal shop, carefully excluding it from the Creation Website accessible via the Terminal.
"Let's see what Keshav chooses," it thought, smirking in the void.

[Keshav's POV]
Sitting in his chamber, eyes focused on his interface, Keshav browsed through the Terminal's Creation Website, searching for anything that could help his believers grow faster.
When he stumbled upon a time acceleration artifact, his heart skipped a beat. 10× acceleration? But the price...
"2,000,000 Creation Points?" he muttered, frowning. "Way out of my league."
Just then, he instinctively opened the System's internal shop—and there it was.
Chronoweave Spindle.
Price: 100 EP.
"Seriously?" He blinked in disbelief. "That cheap?"
Still cautious, he compared specs with the one on the Creation Website. Same effect. Same restrictions. Nothing missing.
His faith in the System had grown significantly over the past days, especially after the Divine Power purity incident. So he didn't hesitate.
[100 EP deducted. Chronoweave Spindle acquired.]
Keshav immediately applied it to his world.

[System POV]
As the artifact embedded itself into the core of Keshav's God's Domain, the world itself shivered—then steadied.
Time began to twist within.
One day outside now meant ten years inside.
"Excellent," the System murmured. "Let's see what you do with the time I've bought you, Keshav."

[Keshav's God Domain — 170 Years of Accelerated Time]
When the Chronoweave Spindle activated, time surged within the domain. One day outside now meant ten years inside — a divine boon for growth and development.

Days 1–3 (Years 1–30): Foundations of Civilization
Under the guidance of Star Priests and the divine techniques crafted by Keshav, the tribes rapidly settled into organized villages, then townships.
A hierarchy formed:
Star Priests governed doctrine, education, and spiritual matters.
Clan Leaders oversaw martial and agricultural development.
Techniques gifted by Keshav — forged through his own merges — shaped early progress.
Space manipulation allowed long-distance farming and transport.
Healing arts kept death rates low.
A written language formed, stylized after void sigils.
Temples of the Voidwalker Sovereign were raised — monolithic stone structures marked with silver veins that pulsed faintly under moonlight.
---
Days 4–9 (Years 30–90): Era of Unity and Refinement
Three major nations (in size more like 3 cities) formed through peaceful unification:
The Eastern Starhold – agricultural heartland, led by the Astral Root disciples.
The Central Dominion – administrative and spiritual core, governed by High Star Priests.
The Western Reach – border region known for its warrior sects.
The faithful no longer only prayed — they trained, studied, and evolved. Schools for martial and divine techniques spread. Some cultivators reached Core Formation levels, far surpassing what tribal stages could achieve.
Taarak, the first high priest selected by divine energy, became the First Saint of the Voidwalker. His presence unified the three nations under a divine council — the Circle of Stars.
---
Days 10–15 (Years 90–150): Institutionalization of Faith and Culture
The Faith Codex was finalized — a canon of teachings, divine rules, and ethics.
Festivals emerged, celebrating the Night of Descent, believed to be the day their God first revealed himself.
Population increased steadily, crossing hundreds of thousands.
Spiritual cultivation synchronized with agriculture and metallurgy, pushing society into a late medieval level with divine augmentations.
A military force of Void Knights was formed — elite cultivators empowered by priest-blessed martial techniques.
New cities built around temples became beacons of faith, channeling stable, concentrated energy upward — nourishing the Divine Link.
---
Days 16–17 (Years 150–170): The Age of Mirrored Stars
The domain reached a cultural renaissance, where art, science, cultivation, and faith coexisted.
Literature and music flourished with themes of space, stillness, and reverence for the unknown.
Believers developed astronomy based on divine inspiration — their planetary charts unknowingly aligning with real star systems.
Spacefold Fields, derived from divine techniques, allowed nearly instant movement across the single, unfragmented world. No floating lands — only mastery over terrain and distance.
Taarak, now at the peak of his mortal journey, initiated the Order of Celestial Saints, training successors.

Keshav did not refine the faith he gets from believers but instead bought it from system to maintain purity.
