Family system

A portal opened next to Kali, and tanned people came walking out. They were around two meters in height, and all of them had a lean but muscular build. They had glowing red eyes, and when asked about them, Kali answered that they were feared in their home world because of their reputation.

Due to their race power, their glowing red eyes could communicate with spirits, which helped them a lot in the battles they fought. The thing that they feared in their home world was that they would always be in groups and were very vengeful, so if you killed one of them, be ready to have your family killed.

Kali found out about this race of people while she was discovering the new universe that she was in. The name of the race of those people is Kaalar, and they all evolved when Kali was recognized as their goddess. Recognizing a god or goddess doesn't only give the gods benefits, but the believers get an even better deal.

Now, though, with Kali as their goddess, their special racial power has evolved, and they can communicate not only with spirits but also with the dead.

That could be as in dead people but also trading with death as Kali was a goddess of death. Trading with death means that you offer your life span in exchange for temporary or permanent powers. The power you get depends on how much lifespan you offer.

When they stepped foot in this place, they immediately began to build their homes around Kali's temple. The temple's outer walls are covered in carvings and her deeds. Later, if only the building remained, these images would be regarded as myths.

But what stood out the most about her temple was the colors that she used. The main colors were red and black, but because of the numerous paintings painted on the wall, such as a sunset, it was really beautiful and colorful.

The people built their houses around the temple, but they had made the city in four parts so that in each direction, they could later build a road with the temple always in view when you walk on it.

Amaterasu had her traditional Japanese shrine with torii gates leading up to it from multiple angles. She put her temple on a small mountain and made a special barrier around it. That was because the mountain was located between two volcanos. After she was done creating her temple, she fixed her surroundings a bit.

The mountain she was on originally looked a bit dead; better said, it looked like regular ground close to a volcano. But the heat of the volcano couldn't reach the barrier, so she planned to have beautiful terrain where her most faithful lived. She skipped over the people from the light continent in that middle world and instead chose a race that she was proud of.

The name of the race is Hikari, and their skin radiates a warm glow. Their eyes are amber/gold and shine beautifully in sunlight. The only difference you can see in this race is the hair color. Some have white hair, and some have red hair, but these colors are natural, and nobody has ever colored their hair.

They have a really strong affinity for light, so when they came in contact with Amaterasu, their light manipulation improved, and they became stronger as a race. On their home planet, they were regarded as a holy race, but the people rarely interacted with them. So when Amaterasu came along, it was something they never expected but welcomed.

They also began building little houses for themselves on the mountain but still made it so that there was a clear path to the top so that they could always pray to their goddess. Tyche was the last goddess, but she didn't call for anyone. As soon as she arrived at the forest, she came in contact with the dryads and was guided to their queen.

I was focused on the other woman because of their followers, but when I looked at Kali, I saw that the queen of the Dryads was on one knee before her, pledging her loyalty to Tyche.

When the queen did that, a lot of mana began to go wild surrounding that energy because all the dryads in the first were suddenly directly blessed by one of the highest-level goddesses with a high-level concept/divinity.

Some four-leaf clovers began to appear in the forest, showing that they had been blessed by Lady Luck. When everybody was done marking their territory, they came back to the mountain that I was on to discuss our plans further. Now that we have a Pantheon, although not complete, we could excavate some things.

Our influence could be expanded to other areas and not just specific races like these goddesses did to minimize attention. When everyone was back on the mountain, we went back to the real world. Because the people on this planet saw Kali's floating island as protection, we recreated it, but now it was just a normal island that could fly.

I visited my mother, who was in her city governing and overseeing things to run smoothly. While I have offered countless times that she doesn't need to work, she always declines, saying that she is used to it as she has been the CEO of one of the largest companies, so it felt weird when she wasn't working on something.

She was now working on a plan that would make the students and teachers a powerful force that she could rely on. She wasn't a goddess, so she had to take another approach if she wanted people to follow her direct orders, and what better way to do that than to teach them while they were still students?

Some teachers already understood her plan, but it wasn't really anything that would harm them; in fact, it was the opposite, so they just turned a blind eye and hoped that they could also become stronger because of her.
