History of the Bayverse- Prologue

A creation myth for my history of the Bayverse fan-fiction.

From before even the beginning, there was the absolute infinity, the Ein-Sof, the encompassing of all reality even yet beyond the realms of all and nothing. Such was the state known as “The One”, and all the kin of the Empyrean and below would know It as such, and the reasons for why it brought about a change, a flux, a transformation of its incomprehensible and seemingly error-free, after a boundless magnitude of complete eternity, would remain perpetually unknown to all beings capable of reason. An impossible gnosis, an unattainable piece in the puzzle that is complete, utter, and infallible omniscience. But it did so as it willed, and it was known to those of the transcendent that it did, and that alone is why they became, why they are, why they too could transform reality, why one could draw the irrefutable conclusion, “I am.”
Thus it was the will of The One to bring a change to its form, and at the zenith of all existence, the highest state of being, the penultimate reality transcending over all others by incomprehensible magnitudes of infinity, there was the Empyrean plane. From an Anantam fruit of The One’s essence, a vortex was made from its splitting into innumerable infinitesimal particles, and eventually the particles were split into a dichotomy of different essences. This distinction would lead to the creation of the first two conscious beings at once: on one hand was the being later known to many as Primus, and on the other hand was the Demiurge, referred to by many monikers- Yaldabaoth, Saklas, Samael, The Archon, but to some, he was referred to as Unicron. Primus’ essence was bound to him, the Ormus essence, while Unicron’s essence was also bound to him, the Ahriman essence. However, due to their nature of originating from the same primordial Anantam fruit of The One, with its following vortex of intermingling specks, some of Primus’ own essence was part of Unicron’s, and some of Unicron’s essence was part of Primus. It was a decreed axiom upon them that they could never truly rid themselves of each other’s essence, and that their origin from the same fruit could never truly be overridden, rendering them as brothers-or merely kin- for all eternity. It is true that all of reality is still The One, and in-turn The Two, and that they have origin in The One’s absolute and complete existence, but for reasons unknown, even lesser beings had the supposed privilege of a pure and separate essence from all, while Unicron and Primus remain bounded. Some consider the separation of their shared essences the final step in omnipotence, an achievement that would make the conscious beings no different from the will of The One, as is the goal of all made from Its entirety.
And in a lesser level of reality, yet still very much transcendent over this very reality, there was the Aether plane, which many across the conscious beings still believe to be the true epitome of all in existence, and are either unaware of the Empyrean or refuse to believe in its existence when endowed with the revelation of its existence. This is the plane where the beings truly embody the title of gods, and any being below this plane is simply masquerading as one out of either ignorance or malignancy. There is yet feud between the gnostic ones about the classification of the beings that Primus and Unicron are, and why they received the Empyrean from The One. Each of the gods of the Aether was wrought from a similar origin, an Anantam fruit from The One, and yet it is notable how these are like grains of sand compared to the great beyond when put in juxtaposition to the primordial fruit that wrought Primus and Unicron. Even the seemingly innumerable levels by which the gods of the Aether are greater than the beings of this reality, seem infinitesimally insignificant to the margin between The Dyad of the Empyrean, and for many gods The Two are simply manifestations of The One and represent the highest that the cosmos can go, beyond concepts of existence and non-existence, logic and illogic, everything and nothing, presence and absence, imagination and truth, beginning and ending. And though they do transcend these concepts, they did not know the true capacity of The One, and do not consider themselves as the most high in reality. Even The One remains at levels incomprehensible to The Two, and they do not hold up to the true criterions of Gnosis. The Will of The One is still unknown to them, and they cannot separate their own essences, and cannot override the single axiom bestowed upon them by The One. Even as beings that are beyond gods for the real gods of the cosmos, they remain yearning, seeking, finding for answers, for Gnosis is a goal that all beings inherently strive for. The Anantam fruits that are the origins of the gods of the Aether hail from the Brahma tree, with roots and branches that branch infinitely and without end, yet the structure is able to remain separate from the dwelling places of the gods through sub-barriers within the Aether plane. The Gods can choose certain ripe fruits to create their own realities, systems, and sub-planes, but they cannot bring forth realities above the Aether plane despite the origin of the Brahma tree from The One. In the structure, there lies the division between the stem and the roots, and though the roots go on infinitely so, they remain without fruit.
Below even the Aether plane by magnitudes of infinities is the Astral plane, where the creations of the gods of the Aether come anew. The great luminaries, the afterworlds, the imitations of the Brahma tree, the celestial chambers, and the reserves of the godly essences, all can be found within the Aether plane. It is possible to transcend from here to the Aether plane, and though most acquire this through the blessings of the gods, few have found a means through their own way. Such is considered a step in Gnosis in its own right, and the gods themselves strive for the Empyrean in ways that the dwellers of the Astral strive for the Aether. But such has never been witnessed, and none of have questioned this limitation seemingly put upon the beings of the Aether by The One, or possibly from The Dyad themselves.
Although the gods could create by bringing affectations upon the Astral plane, deriving resources from the Brahma tree, it was not an ability inherently seen immediate for neither Primus nor Unicron. Though Primus wished to continue to reason for this disparity, to understand why such a right is reserved for such miniscule beings compared to them, Unicron did not relent in his fury. It was then that he acted upon his rage, and it was proclaimed that he was the Demiurge.
He called upon the Aether to grant him passage, and he said that his terms were of merely also being granted the ability to derive from the Brahma tree. An ethereal storm was forged from the psychic energy amalgamated and strengthened by the very act of each of the gods of the Aether agreeing, and a passage of affectation was fashioned between the Empyrean and the Aether. It was then that Unicron’s left arm took upon a most vile, twisted, ever-branching structure, known to those of the Aether as the “Limb of The Demiurge”, and Unicron bore a hole through the barrier between the dwellings of the gods and the Brahma tree. “Let the roots of thy tree, thou O One, be under the command of I, The Demiurge, for I, a being of the Empyrean, have willed it so through the agreement forged between I and the beings of the Aether.” Spoke Unicron, and so did all the innumerable roots of the tree come under his command. “I now command that a speck from each root shall join me in the Empyrean, for they are blessed through the powers vested in me by the virtue of the nature of my existence as one through The One”, and it was so.
Each of the infinite specks was then turned into a diabolical ash by passing through the fire of the Ahriman, the reality of his own essence. And once it was so, the limb of the demiurge became infinitely more crooked, grotesque, repulsive, and in flux, as to affect the waters of the void.
It was then that an occurrence so insignificant as to even render the beings of the Astral as transcendent, almost like gods, that only the telling of it passed down from the Aether is how they acquired knowledge of it. The infinite ashes of the specks of the roots of the Brahma tree mingled with the infinite waters of the void, a realm far below even the Astral plane, and in a fashion similar to the creation of Primus and Unicron, a vortex formed. For a similar form of eternity as The One’s before splitting the primordial Anantam fruit, it rattled and thundered, until Unicron had willed a “beginning” wherein the vortex finally settled.
The material plane. This world. Laws, dimensions, physicality, it is a place that harbours limits that are very much comprehensible to those on the path of Gnosis. An infinite-dimensional structure, not one inherently meant to harbour conscious beings, but one that would bring woes innumerable, sufferings unbearable, and misery unimagined for those that might take on consciousness here. There is seemingly no scope for a means to achieve ascendence here, forget Gnosis. It was Unicron’s response to The One not granting them a divine right of creation, to make a reality that could be forgotten by those with infallible memory. Some considered this unruly, that any conscious beings of the material plane must be bestowed with salvation, that even if they may not achieve Gnosis, they can be taken out of the perpetual limitations of the material plane. Unicron however, decreed that none were to ever interfere with this world, and any possibly ascendances brought forth by the conscious beings of the material plane must be from their own attempts and they mustn’t receive the aids of any beings of the Astral nor the Aether planes.
To this, Primus brought a challenge. He swore to create a people, a people that would be as incarnate idols of Primus Himself, who would start off at only a simple universe in the third-dimensional plane within the material plane, and they will not only ascend out of the material plane, but they will achieve Gnosis, and find out the answers to The One via the journey that they will go through.
Unicron gladly accepted this challenge, believing that his people would fail, and would either remain trapped for eternity, or go extinct revelling in their own ignorance. Unicron kept the condition that Primus would not intervene in their ascendence, as is not only the decree for all the beings across the Aether and the Astral, but even for himself. Unicron’s arm had returned to normal, but the Limb would continue to be of discussion forever on. It was then that Primus took out a fragment of his own heart, and infused it with a core concentrated with the Ormus essence. He then created a pathway by breaking barriers between the planes and into the stretch of the void, and planted his creation into one singular universe in the third dimension. The fragment of his heart would come to be known as Cybertron, and the core infused with his Ormus essence would come to be known as the All-spark.
