Description
The worlds they touch become Delves, for being Embraced by the Xenothians means accepting change. Within a Delve, each scale of being - consciousness - folds and refolds itself.

Are you tiny now? The next moment you may be gargantuan - and then infinitesimal - yet always interconnected. It is like a funnel through which individual minds flux, constantly filling up the section they occupy. The scaling and rescaling are forever persistent, arguably the source of the overarching meta-mind called Xen.

The Great and Benevolent Intergalactic Empire of Xenotechnological Assemblage, called Xenoth by many, is a multi-galactic spacefaring civilisation of Type III on the Kardashev Scale.

The actual Xenothians have long since evolved away from their original morphology. This morphological deviation can be attributed to the fact that Xenogenesis, the technique by which the Xenothians spread across the universe, is an invasive quantum process which incorporates the target species into the warm fold of the Empire.

Here's how it works:

When the Xenothians come across a civilisation roughly equal to their own in technology, they leave it alone. If attacked, they wipe it out entirely, but unless the other party does not act in a Dark Forest way, the Xenothians do not even try to communicate. They go away.

However, suppose the discovered civilisation is less advanced than the Xenothians. In that case, they use their Time-Mothers to temporally dive into the target species' past and influence that species to either discover the Xenothian Empire or be discovered by it aeons ago. Hence, when the Time-Mothers dream back to the future, the Empire has already changed through the genetic addition of the new species.

The returning Time-Mothers are immediately ritually consumed to protect the integrity of the time-space continuum, and life goes on as usual.

Thus, there's never any conflict, other than just for fun, in the Great and Benevolent Intergalactic Empire of Xenotechnological Assemblage. There's no death either because the Essence-Knowers know all individuals in their continuum, and anyone who dies can be dreamed back into existence.

In Xenoth's Embrace, there's only love.
