The Origin of Existence, Consciousness, and Life

In this world there is always a deep yearning for both life and survival, to be something greater. It can be found in any given matter, spanning from the vast oceans and lakes, to the trees and the grass of the earth, the mountains that loom over valleys, all the way to the very many animals that exist within the realms.
Down to every particle of matter there is a strive to be, and that's how life was created. Before any form of life had been born, the universe was an empty abyss of nothingness, not a trace of life to be seen. The only thing in existence were stars, hundreds of millions of them but they served absolutely no purpose other than drifting infinitely.
It wasn’t until two individual stars collided with each other, absorbing one another and becoming something more, and this could be considered the very first life that came to be.
Slowly over millennia this star continued absorbing more and more around it, it grew bigger and it started to develop an instinct. Instinct evolved into conscience and then a physical being; Oberon. He continued to absorb more stars to gain strength, later on developing conscience. Over a very lengthy period of time, more divine beings like himself found their will growing stronger. This is how the rest of the Ugwango came into existence.
This became a more frequent occurrence. More of these mysterious life forms were born in the same manner. From then on they helped aid the creation of the world they live within.
Matter down to a microscopic level and even further beyond can be known to possess a deep conscience on a level than most cannot understand. In very extraordinary circumstances, this essence may have a will to survive and grow just like any living organism to exist. It will manifest into something greater, a soul which can later on manifest a physical body. Its sole duty is survival, and it will do anything it takes in order to ensure its growth.
These spiritual beings are very powerful and are capable of unimaginable devastation to anything it declares a threat, putting other life forms and habitats at risk of total annihilation. If it were to consider another one of these beings manifested from matter it would result in even more havoc. Just like in the real world, different life forms must form a symbiotic relationship and live in peace for each others' benefits, and this is how these divine creatures would decide to live.
Oberon and another Ugwaam who had no interest in further bloodshed known as Even took it upon themselves to create a world where other life could form and a place for the Ugwāngo to exist in peace. Oberon created the realm which would become known as Turūdoho, and Even would sculpt the world himself. He gave a piece of his soul to form the core of the earth and become the centre of gravity and symbol of love, Ihara. The gravity of her love would pull other life forms into Turūdoho where they would become crucial to the formation and function of the world so they no longer would roam as violent and rogue beings in Jaekāenu. Ihara remains settled within the innermost parts of the core of the earth. Her vitality is crucial so that the Asogwango do not spiral into chaos once more.
Just like any other form of life surrounding them, they too were required to cooperate with these divinities otherwise they would suffer great consequences. It was principally an unwritten law that all were mandated to adhere to. Some felt secure and safe with these powerful beings protecting and nourishing the land and world around them, others were mistrusting and saw them as nothing more than a looming threat. Unfortunately, there was no other way to live other than to respect the land and life around them. For this reason, they were deemed Gods. The world they came upon was named Turūdoho, meaning one strength, as every life form depended on one another for peace and stability in life.
