I think Metemperic Channel Energy should affect the entire Pleroma/Multiverse you're in, although you could exclude people from being affected if you want. I know that's pretty insane, but it IS a metempiric ability.

affect the entire Pleroma/Multiverse you're in

Your range is equal to line of sight with Transcendental

although you could exclude people from being affected if you want

You can exclude with the base Divine

The pleroma is infinite though. Can you really see an infinite distance there (even as a high lord)?

I let your cosmic consciousness increase to the multiverse (pleroma+the universes; not the Omniverse which is the combination of all the multiverses) in which you are actually in when you becone a Supernal

Divine Competency (Divine) (Ex)
Benefit: When you roll a natural 1 on an attack roll or saving throw, it's not treated as an automatic failure, but instead calculated normally. You can, of course, still fail the roll if the result is too low

Basically it gives the gods an ability they get automatically in the original Deities and Demigods.

For me is ok

I would be interested in a complete revision of the basic Deities and Demigods divine template that combines the best features of the basic Deities and Demigods template and the various divine templates of Ascension.

As it is, they're very similar in many ways, but each has features the other does not possess. Like how Avatars work for example. In Deities and Demigods, they're cost free, completely under your control, and can be remade as necessary. However, the number you can have at any one time is limited.

While, the Ascension Avatars are not cost free, not necessarily completely under your control, and can't be remade very easily. However, the number you can have at any one time is theoretically unlimited if you happen to optimize for quintessence focused pun pun style builds or have a kind DM that permits background empire building, etc. as a way to expand the setting.

Additionally, the basic Deities and Demigods template has various portfolio, sensory, and godly realm related abilities not possessed by the Ascension templates (likely because Krusty ran out of both time and space as some of his earliest posts seem to suggest).

Does it seem good as a divine ability tho? Even if you want to make it an ability all immortals+ get for free it could still be useful as an esoteric for disciples and prophets (like with divine toughness)

It's definitely good for a divine ability or esoteric.
As the current divine templates are, I'd personally not make it free for divinities. (I could be mistaken but someone named Mercucio may have actually made a similar ability in the before time, long, long, ago.) Their CR and LA are fairly set in stone.

I have been considering creating a "Primordial Divinity" template of sorts to add back in some of those features Ascension removed or neglected to add to divinities (due to time constraints, etc.).

Things like free (no cost) Avatars (or Aspects) (up to a certain maximum...additional ones having a cost as normal), built-in portfolio-related sensory abilities, etc. ...or, perhaps, some sort of no cost errata template.

I'm uncertain how Krusty would have covered such things if he'd had enough time. At best I have this from some of his responses to my questions in the past, which helped tremendously.

Errata:

• Divine Bonus (Ex):The divine bonus also applies to damage rolls.
• Divine Senses (Ex): Add., divinities gain the following:

• Divinities also gain Blindsight, clairaudience/claivoyance (always active), and Telepathy within the range of their divine auras and godly realms.
• A divinity can hear the prayers of its worshippers.
• A divinity can choose to see through the eyes of a Petitioner, but doesn't do so automatically - it must choose to do so and while doing so can't itself see.
• A divinity can sense disturbances to its realm (alterations, etc.).
