Иначе говоря, я предлагаю так, в эпическом стиле:

From the drops of his black blood he created his servants, the dwellers of the Blue World, and from these the whole Blue World was overspread.

Не исключено, что тут возможна перестановка: \"From the drops of his black blood did he create his servants...\", но я не уверен.
