In the multiverse, the Creators have all the power because of the energy created by living planets and complex life forms. Rivalen, a barren universe, builds a device to control the Creators. He joins with the other barrens and together they maintain control of the multiverse. However, their latest experiment, Earth and Alta, plays out unexpectedly and Rivalen must contend with a new Creator with an ever-increasing ability to circumvent his device.
Blue Star, the fledgling universe, was previously an Earthling who won a great battle by wielding dark energy against Godriel, a maniacal geneticist from Alta. Because of Rivalen's device, she believes she is barren, but dreams of creating life and reincarnating her daughter, Jewel. Her dreams start evolution in motion on a new living planet - Makka. But Rivalen tasks his son, Tristan, with the job of killing the reincarnation in order to slow Blue Star's ability to occlude his device.
On Makka, when Jewel is born heir apparent to the throne of the Great Peaceful People of Makka, Tristan allows Princess Jewel to live. When Jewel inadvertently uses dark energy to save herself from befalling a terrible accident, Blue Star finally awakens and takes Tristan captive who divulges Rivalen's device. In turn, Blue Star forces Rivalen to do her bidding until Jewel is stolen and deposited on an Earth analog which triggers the barrens to send Phearus, the son of Godriel prime, to kill Jewel leading to a confluence of confrontations in the multiverse and on Earth-A.
