Earth and Heaven was destroyed in the battle.

Upulero—Male—Far East/Malaysia

Indonesian Sun God. Should a couple wish
to conceive a child, the potential father calls
on Upulero for his blessings and help in the
matter, but only via sacrifice. Traditionally, that
sacrifice took the form of a chicken. If you
happen to live on a farm where the killing of
chickens for food is routine, by all means do
so, and then serve that animal’s flesh to some-
one in need as you and your family go without
food for a day. If, however, you are not one of
those who routinely kills animals for food, pur-
chase an amount of non perishable food equal
to that which would feed you family for a day,
