Timeline

Time was split into epochs. Epochs were extremely long periods of time defined by the ruler of the realm. A realm will's reign would be the same as the epoch. As soon as a new realm will took the throne, a new epoch began. The current epoch is the yidao epoch.

Epochs were further split into eras. In the current epoch, there had been four eras, and the realm was in the fifth era. Eras weren't as clearly defined, but were generally defined by great events. The difficult dao era was an era in which cultivation was impossible. This era is also believed to be just a legend by most people.

The desolate era was considered the oldest era by most people. At the start of the desolate era, people began to cultivate. It took hundreds of millions of years before cultivators reached higher realms. Most things from this time period were destroyed by the river of time and in the current era, very few treasures existed.

The desolate expansion era saw many things required for cultivation being produced. Pills and treasures were created, teleportation formations were made, and cultivation methods were refined.

The Emperors era began with the first Empyrean Monarch shouldering the heaven's will. Since then, there have been 1,500 empyreans and emperors. This era saw a massive boom in cultivators and resources. A lot of major powers of the current era began being formed in this era.

The Ancient Demon Era was not known most people. It was an era in which the abyssal demons and the ancient ming along with some other races tried to take over the realm. There was a huge war in which many powers perished. Eventually, the demons were sealed in their own universe. The ancient ming due to having a rare treasure managed to escape, but almost went extinct due to the dark crow.

The prosperity era is the current era. It is known as the prosperity era as many powers are rising, cultivation is easy, and many emperors exist. The prosperity era began after the abyssal war, which happened around 3.2 billion years ago.
