under the sun
In all creation
Under the sun means anywhere in the world, or of any kind whatsoever.
The phrase emphasizes completeness or universality: We tried everything under the sun to fix it, the oldest profession under the sun.
It often follows superlatives or totality words: nothing new under the sun, every creature under the sun.
