Trans-Dimensionalization of The Cactus Forest

When the Minister of Cultural Affairs of the Empire Yimmu-Audal StoryStudio was constructing two guard statues of Lamassu outside of the east gate of Urnu-Arrak, he suddenly noticed that he was surrounded by an ominous array of 3 block tall obsidian pillars.

StoryStudio was confused and asked of what had occurred to the deity Stoney who teleported to the location, explaining that he had transformed all cactus into obsidian for the sake of ritual sacrifice which took place near the date of Halloween.

Stoney gave StoryStudio 64 cactus saying, "you might need this."

Shortly after however, Stoney transformed all of the obsidian cacti back into their normal selves, in this way violating the 1st law of thermodynamics, providing StoryStudio with 64 Cactus out of nowhere.

But a lot more laws were still yet unbroken.

Once StoryStudio returned to building, he noticed the cacti forest transforming into much stranger things. Namely, the deity Stoney had chosen to transform the plants into accesses to other dimensions, first making End Portals out of them, and then Nether Portals, before finally ceasing with the trans-dimensional shenanigans and bringing back the natural state of the plants.
