In a parallel to the biblical creation, Lucifer creates a world to be inhabited by a man and a woman. He tells them he will withhold death as long as they worship no one. The man is tempted by a snake to ask Lucifer for knowledge about good and evil. After being given an understanding of good and evil from Lucifer, the man fails to follow Lucifer’s commandment and Lucifer returns him and the woman to dust. The snake reveals itself to be Amenadiel in disguise.
