According to Shiv Puran, Lord Shiva history is related to Sada-shiv, Supreme Consciousness.
He is the one who is not bounded by the wheel of time and Karma. He manifested himself as Mahakaal known as Rudra.
The one who is unborn, immortal, who don't have any start or end. It is the story of the beginning, when there was void with no time, no light, nothing existed.
There was only a certain kind of voidness.
The only thing that existed that time was divine consciousness termed as Sada-shiv the Universal Truth.
Sada-shiv is limitless, shapeless, and undefined null. Afterward, The feminine energy of Sada-shiv originated from Sadashiv. Sadashiva termed his feminine energy as Shiva. She gave salutation to Sada-shiv.
The Supreme consciousness Sadashiv explained to Shiva.
Here Shiva is the feminine energy of Sadashiv.
I didn't create you, you were already present there; you are my energy, I am in you, and you are in me.
Shiva as feminine energy replied to Sadashiv.
Shiva - "Oh my lord, you are the Supreme source of energy."
Sada-shiv replied, yes I am the Supreme source of energy, but my strength is proof of your existence.
After this conversation between them, Sada-shiv and Shiva became so close as the cosmic couple.
Sada-shiv as man and Shiva as his wife. In the primary phase, they created fundamental elements.
They created two words beginning and end which were complementary to each other.
With the combined decision with his feminine energy, Shiva Shakti both decided to create the third energy.
From the seat of mentation consciousness of huge Ocean; where the sweetest tide of thoughts originates.
It is the place where the truth is the valuable gem.

His charm was cosmic; his glow was spreading all over.
He wore a golden robe decorated with various gems.
There were solace and calmness on his face. Man eyes were beautiful matching with the flower of Lotus.
"Who am I and what are the orders for me? "
God appeared in mystic form and replied to him.
"Since you are omniscient, you will be known by the name of VISHNU. You will have more names, and you will collect all knowledge from austerity".
After that mystical voice, Lord Vishnu began his penance.
He did the hardest penance to many Kalpas, due to the impact of his austerity, different water fountain originated from his body.
After the penance, 24 elements appeared from Lord Vishnu body.
Lord Vishnu satisfied the voidness of the universe with gracious water that came from his body.
