Nobita was reading a picture book in which he saw Adam and Eve disobeying God and eating the forbidden fruit in the garden of Eden. He commented that their descendants have to face many difficulties because of Adam and Eve's mistake. Then Doraemon reminded Nobita that he had to do his summer vacation research homework.

Upon going to the future to view his completed homework, Nobita received a package of World Creation set ordered by Doraemon to help him with his work. Thus, Nobita started creating He creates a new Solar System using "elements of the universe" dust and describe the process on the observatory diary. Nobita did encounter some problems, including being beaten by Gian for outrunning him with the homework after Gian and Suneo's mutual project for their homework failed, and letting his artificial sun devour the other planets due to Nobita's forgetfulness. But Doraemon reversed the time so they saved the project and got to see how Earth settles to have life, from tiny cells to fish-like organism. Doraemon took Nobita to his universe. To speed up the process, Doraemon catches the ancestor of land vertebrates, a Eusthenopteron and uses the Evolution-Devolution Beam on it to evolve it though there was a small bug disrupting Nobita. That night Gian decided to go to meet Nobita to apologize him and persuade him for a position on the project, but caught a strange falling star. He followed it and saw two humanoid mantis-like creature talking. The creatures saw Gian and chase him but retreated when the time patrol came in their way; all was perceived as a sleep walk by Gian. The next day, the first fish to ever walk on land had been seen, and soon followed by the ruling of the dinosaurs, which brought so much joy for Doraemon and Nobita. But soon an asteroid hit the Earth, which caused the dinosaurs perish. Nobita went devastated, but Doraemon comforted him. Gian, Suneo and Shizuka joined the project. All of them entered Nobita's universe, where they got to see the earth during the Ice Age from which not only they made a satisfying record about the people, animal, life style after helping a group of primitive kids who look like Nobita, Suneo and Gian find their way home, but also set the first step in superstition since Nobita presented with the kids, gave them the tool and called himself Kami.That day Gian ostentatiously revealed the project with two other friends, which caught the attention of the mantis-like creatures.

The next day, only Doraemon, Nobita and Shizuka visited the universe, where they saw sign of civilization, but in the early stage as shown with poor agriculture, witch doctor and habit of human sacrifice. They also met the presumably descendants of the primitive kids, now in different class, and encountered a mysterious giant two-head centipede-like monster. When the trio come back home to record their progress, Nobita had a strange pain in his butt caused by unusually tiny arrow. Suneo and Gian decided to cancel their part in the project to have a vacation, which enraged the others. The duo was then kidnapped by the mantis creatures that Gian had caught sight of previously. The next day, Doraemon and Shizuka wandered off to other countries, while Nobita headed to Japan and followed his look-alike named Nobina, a herb merchandiser, who is treated badly by Suneo's looka-like, a royal doctor named Sunemaro. Nobina, on the way home, rescues a beetle-like creature whom he call Chunko.
