Luke looked at Guthix as he slowly stretched his new body. It appeared like he was just asleep when, mere moments before, he did not exist within this universe. Both Michael and Luke knew that this god was going to be immensely helpful in his adventures through time and space.
"You are no longer on Gielinor, Guthix," Luke replied with a soft smile and childlike wonder in his eyes. "I brought you to a world that, while isn't as beautiful as Gielinor, has the potential to bring new wonders."
Guthix paused for a moment as he looked down to Luke's height. He did not realize that a mere child could do the impossible and bring a god back to life, yet as if struck by realization, he saw deeper within. It was then he realized the truth.
"His body is young, but his soul is not," Guthix thought to himself. "He isn't from this universe just like me."
"What world is this then, friend?" Guthix inquired. "It feels like this world is empty."
"I am Luke Stryker," Luke replied honestly before his eyes turned slightly colder. "As for where we are, it is a universe far different than the one Jas and her sisters created. This universe has lifeforms both familiar and not to you, yet here, there is no magic to protect humans from the whims of those with far more power. They rely on something called 'science' to do everything in their daily lives and even have some aliens protecting them in the shadows."
"Aliens?" Guthix asked as he was unfamiliar with the term.
"Beings not of this world," Luke replied. "Similar to you, myself, and those I plan to bring into this universe in due time."
Guthix nodded a bit as if understanding what Luke meant. "So, that explains why this world felt empty. There is no Anima within its core."
Luke nodded. "This world has had many hostile beings try to invade and conquer it in the past, yet they were thwarted by one alien and many humans across history. There is much to say and very little time to say them."
Before Guthix could ponder more about this strange new world of his, he noted what Luke said about very little time. "Why is that?"
"Because, in a week to the hour, a host of aliens will arrive to Earth—the planet we are on—and attempt to dominate the planet forcefully," Luke responded clearly and with some annoyance in his voice. "We will not have to worry as their method will fail anyway, but I have my own plans to deal with bigger fish. What I am more concerned about is keeping the history as I understand it intact than altering it."
Luke remembered that, in The Christmas Invasion episode, the Doctor had just regenerated and that it was up to Rose, Mickey, Jackie, and the little British government group headed up by the Prime Minister before her deposal by the Doctor towards the end. It also showed the Sycorax and that they were attempting to scare the human race to submit through a sort of blood hypnosis that would break under the Doctor's guidance.
"The survival instinct's too strong," Luke remembered the line that Ten said to help calm his friends down and explain why the humans weren't dead.
"As for what I will have you do, Guthix," Luke began, "is simply grant you the choice of whether or not you wish to rebuild the Guthixian faith. I will always need assistance from you and others in my future plans, but as for outside of that, it is up to you. Explore this new world as you see fit."
Guthix nodded appreciatively towards Luke. "I thank you for the choice, but for now, may I stay by your side? I know you know more about this universe than I do and I'd be grateful if you let me stay by your side until I am ready to be on my own."
Luke did not expect that. Guthix was, admittedly, created here to help others whenever Luke himself had no plans that required immediate attention, yet he did recall a reason why he wanted Guthix instead of Telos.
Telos was a mere golem made from the Anima of Gielinor and held minimal conscienceness while Guthix was a mortal ascended to godhood through slaying a god himself. Luke did feel bad that he basically called back a loving father from his afterlife, but he knew that Guthix's family could be brought back. He has the power to bring them back, after all.
What was stopping him was that, if he brought Guthix's family to Earth, they had no place amongst the humans here. He needed to wait until he could bring Gielinor or a version of it to this universe and make it a bastion against the entities that could destroy it.
Luke then turned his focus back to Guthix. "I agree to this, but as recompense for my summoning, I promise that I will bring your family back to life once I create a suitable world."
That very promise was a heartfelt one and he was not against doing great acts of kindness for others that deserved it. What he had planned to do for Eleven once they got to Trenzalore was helping him fight against the Daleks and other enemies with some of his creations.
He hoped that, by the time of Trenzalore, he had at least summoned Zaros, Seren, and a few other gods that could serve as generals in his army against the major forces of this universe.
Guthix looked at Luke for a moment and shed a soft tear down his right cheek. He whispered a soft thank you to Luke and that alone sealed Guthix's loyalty for good.

Before heading back home and slip back into bed, Luke set up a lodestone underneath Stonehenge. He knew that the Pandorica was under the stone monument and he wanted a lodestone set up there to teleport straight to the Pandorica in the future. This marked the first-ever lodestone set up in this universe and Luke had no doubt that he would be making many lodestones in the future to set up an interstellar lodestone network.
However, before he could plan on that, he had a sense that the lodestone network was not going to be his to use. Michael soon confirmed it when he mentioned what the reward was for completing The First Creation quest.
"WHAT?!?" Luke shouted in shock. Guthix heard it too as he could hear Michael's voice as well despite not seeing him.
"I said that the reward from the quest is in your Inventory," Michael replied. "It is a Voidship Token."
