East of Eden, the god made a new land with lots of stuff that an empire might need. He filled this island with trees and cool animals.
West of Eden, he made another land which was basic. Onto the basic land, he put some sheep. And lo, the god did edit the sheep’s species details and gave them phenotypes of all different colours. And also did he make them giant and happy. Then he left them to it because sheep are not all that interesting.
The people living in the garden grew and had kids. This is because the god did not have access to the snakes and trees of knowledge to tempt the people with, for he had yet to unlock these things.
And the people did make houses to live in because sleeping in the rain is low-key kind of mid.
And so did the god get bored looking at the people and went to check in on hell. And low, they too had started a civilisation, probably before the peoples did.
And the god said to himself, “Whoa, these buildings are pretty cool looking, not gonna lie.”
When he was done admiring the cool fire huts, the god did return his face to his people. Lo, they had spread out and claimed the entire island just as he had wanted.
And the people did please the god by building more interesting buildings for him to look at.
Then, the people, being rather hungry and noting with some annoyance that the god had not made any more food appear, did invent farming and windmills.
While the god was busy being impressed with the windmill, lo, the people did invent boats.
And the god was pleased with this chapter. Nothing bad could possibly come of these events.
