6 destiny starts: becoming One with Life
After becoming the ocean itself Nexus's connection to the World deepened.
He was completely able to Feel all of the Souls in the planet, It was as though the entire world spoke to him through its essence.
He could sense the ebb and flow of life within his body, each one Unique in it's own.
"So this is what being an Ocean is like" he muttered
With this Body and ability to interact with the World once again, Nexus started his plan to cultivate life in the planet.
Doing so in a meticulous manner, He wanted to introduce diversity, to foster ecosystems, and ultimately to nurture intelligent beings.
Now as an Ocean who house all the life forms, Nexus was sure to succeed in his plans.
And after witnessing the thriving bacteria, He already realized that from this microscopic life, the foundation of a complex ecosystem could be built.
All this thanks to his new form as the Ocean.
"No wonder souls in Medias liked to possess people so much, this is just magical" he acknowledged.
Without further a do, Nexus extended his influence across the planet, pushing the primitive bacterias into Rivers and Lakes situated to the barren continents allowing the microscopic organisms to flourish without interference.
Of course, Nexus still left alot of them in the ocean to develop in their own while his busy playing God with those he placed into the Lakes.
Only interfering with those in the Ocean from time to time.
Looking at the microbes in the all across the Lakes, Nexus really wanted to evolve them into complex organisms via assimilation/possession but due to them having very weak souls it Was basically impossible.
So Nexuses plan right now was to let them evolve naturally until their souls are strong enough for him to possess.
"200 million years should be enough" he mused.
This might sound like a crazy amount of years of waiting but for nexus it is just a mere blink of an eye.
After all he had already waited for a billion years biding his Time just to finally move again, a mere 100 to 200 million years naturally can't stop him from achieving his goals.
With this mind and goal clear nexus started waiting, and of course he wasn't just gonna sit there and do nothing for 200 million years.
That would be insanely boring so nexus started meditating once again, and from time to time also doing experiments with his new form.

Time went by quickly and 60 Million years have passed.
Many things have happened over the years but what's important is that the microbes are now strong enough to be Assimilated by nexus.
Now nexus is able to control them, although he originally thought he wasn't able to do so until 200 million years later.
How and why did it happen much earlier than expected you ask?.
Well the reason for why he was able to assimilate them much earlier than previously anticipated is mainly thanks him injecting a wisp of his Soul energy to the water to be absorbed by the organisms.
He did this Every single day for the past 60 million years, a discovery made by nexus after a few experimentations.
Now this inturned made the Souls and bodies of every microbes in the ocean to Grow stronger by each passing day.
They even begun to evolve in a much faster rate than normal.
If life continues to evolve as the way they are right now then organisms other than simple microbes will emerge soon enough.
In about 300 to 500 million years of continuous natural evolution, Nexus speculated that plants will soon emerge and conquer the entire Ocean and Land with animals following just behind them.
Of course assuming that they evolve naturally which nexus doesn't intend to happen, after all he has the means to evolve them on his own and besides he already have a plan in mind.
Observing the tapestry of life within him nexus can't help but be amaze of how far he has come.
Who would've imagine that one day he was gonna be in an unknown planet playing God with primitive lifeforms.
Closing his eyes, Nexus imagined his future as a being encompassing the entirety of the universe, now an actual God watching Over his creations from an omnipotent view.
Observing as they conquer their planet and onto other planets and eventually to other galaxies.
Waging Wars of Epic proportion that span galaxies, millions if not Billions of Battleships gigantic in size duking it out in a solar systems.
Thrilled by new discoveries, good or bad there's are much more things than he can only imagine...
Of course All of this merely a dream for now, no one truly knows what lays ahead so there's no saying what will happen next in his journey, but one thing is for sure a dream can be a reality as long as you make it a reality.
Breaking off from his momentary dazed, He quickly began to spread his energy covering the whole Ocean starting his plan to assimilate all souls into his own.
"All shall embrace destiny!" He declared, his voice echoed through out the Ocean Waves carrying his message.
And with that all Life became a One within him.
He became One with every lifeforms of the planet, all of those vibrant Souls who once roamed Ocean has Vanish, replaced by his own.
All that's left is The one Gigantic soul that is everything that moves.
All but One remained....
A deafening silence ensues, it was so quiet that even a drop of a needle can be heard.
It was as if the world stopped moving and Time stood still....
...
"I guess I'm All alone again, now that I've taken all the souls" he acknowledged, Breaking the deafening silence that seemed to devour everything just now.
Time seemed to move once again and everything went back to how they where.
With all preparations completed Nexus immediately started to manually evolve all life.
He watched with fascination as they evolved and adapted to their new environments, becoming more complex forms of life over the years.

189 thousand years later
Marine plants began to emerge, providing the basis for a growing food chain. Nexus carefully controlled and observed each development, ensuring balance and harmony in the budding underwater world.
As more complex creatures evolved, Nexus began to make the animals that would later populate the planet, starting from the fishes and other sort of aquatic creatures.
Most of them are based off the creatures from his previous home, Terra, over Time each and every creature that he made became significantly smaller than what's seen in Terra.
A Clear effect of the the planets much stronger gravity compared to Terra, with its size being the main reason for it.
Forcing the animals to adapt to the harsh conditions of the planet.
Over Time they evolve denser bones and muscles and compact bodies to help resist the gravity of the planet.
Many have also evolve Larger Hearts and Lungs to pump oxygen efficiently.
Most of the creatures are slow moving to conserve energy.
This was a Good start but there was more to come.
Nexus once again continued guiding the evolution of life.
