There is no special force to control this universe. Things
appear due to causes and condition, and dissipate due to causes and
conditions. There is no agency behind things.
From your post, I don't think you know anything about Maha
Brahma, so don't assume.

2. 'Now there comes a time, monks, when, sooner or later, after
the lapse of a long period, this world-system passes away. And when
this happens beings have mostly been reborn in the
World-of-Radiance, and there they dwell made of mind, feeding on
joy, radiating light from themselves, traversing the air,
continuing in glory; and they remain there for a long period of
time.
3. Now there comes also a time, monks, when, sooner or later,
this world-system begins to re-evolve. When this happens an empty
Palace of Brahma appears. And some being or other, either because
his span of years has passed or his merit is exhausted, falls from
that World-of-Radiance, and comes to life in the Palace of Brahma.
And there also he lives made of mind, feeding on joy, radiating
light from himself, traversing the air, continuing in glory; and
thus does he remain for a long period of time.
4. 'Then there arises in him, from his dwelling there so long
alone, a dissatisfaction and a longing: "O! if only other beings
might come to join me in this place!" And just then, either because
their span of years had passed or their merit was exhausted, other
beings fall from the World-of-Radiance, and appear in the Palace of
Brahma as companions to him, and in all respects are like him.
[18]
5. 'On this, monks, the one
who was first reborn thinks thus to himself: "I am Brahma, the
Great Brahma, the Supreme One, the Mighty, the All-seeing, the
Ruler, the Lord of all, the Maker, the Creator, the Chief of all,
appointing to each his place, the Ancient of days the Father of all
that is and is to be [154]. 'These other beings
are of my creation. And why is that so? A while ago I thought, 'If
only they might come!' And upon my mental aspiration, behold these
beings came."
'And those beings themselves, too, think thus: "This must be
Brahma,, the Great Brahma, the Supreme, the Mighty, the All-seeing,
the Ruler, the Lord of all, the Maker, the Creator, the Chief of
all, appointing to each his place, the Ancient of days, the Father
of all that is and is to be. And we must have been created by him.
And why? Because we see that he who was here first and we came
afterwards."
6. 'Because of this, monks, the one who first came into
existence there is of longer life, and more glorious, and more
powerful than those who appeared after him. And it might well be,
monks, that some being on his falling from that state, should come
to this world. And having come to this world he might go forth from
the household life into the homeless state. And having thus become
a recluse he, by reason of ardour of exertion of application of
earnestness of careful thought, reaches such a state of
concentration that, rapt in heart, he calls to mind his last
dwelling-place, but not the previous ones. He says to himself:
"That illustrious Brahma, the Great Brahma, the Supreme One, the
Mighty, the All-seeing, the Ruler, the Lord of all, the Maker, the
Creator, the Chief of all, appointing to each his place, the
Ancient of days, the Father of all that is and is to be, he by whom
we were created, he is steadfast immutable eternal, of a nature
that knows no change, and he will remain so forever and ever. But
we who were created by him have come to this world as being
impermanent, mutable, limited in duration of life.
